It's hard to believe that Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts released all three of its seasons in just this one year, and that's definitely a feat. With that, while falling off a bit in a few areas, this is one of the most entertaining shows I've seen in quite a while.
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts is a unique story about mutes (short for "mutant animals") and humans trying to co-exist in a post-apocalyptic future. Our main character, Kipo, awakens from her home and onto the surface world, where she tags along with another group of survivors to track down her family and her true purpose. I think what's so great about this story is not only the originality of this futuristic world, but its way of pacing! Like I said, this series came out in its ENTIRETY within a year, and its with that release scheduling of 30 episodes in total that makes this a story worth tuning into. And while I personally thought the story's message was conveying a bit too much towards its final episodes, and that some of the plot holes remained unanswered in the end, the overall plot will keep many entertained and satisfied...no filler in sight!
What I think this show's actual strength however, compared to several other cartoons I've seen, is its overall style. The animation quality, while not unique, is very action-heavy and presented in exilerating motion. And to top it all off, a pretty incredible soundtrack that helps blend the on-screen action smoothly with a mix of hip-hop, rock, and even EDM tracks. Everything complements each other, and it just works so damn well!
I found myself really entertained with Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, with its stylish presentation and perfected story pacing. There's really nothing else like it right now within our modern-day generation of animated television. Rest assured, this is gonna be one of those special cartoons that I'm gonna really miss over the course of time, and that deserves credit on its own.
