I don't understand the appeal of this show, it's seems like the only reason it's liked is because of "Muh strong female leads" and whatnot. I don't feel like this show brings anything new to the table. You have the uptight and smart character, the fat and lazy shit-for-brains, and the big broody scary quiet one, oh and let's not forget the "that-one-'cool'-character-that-all-kids-want-to-be" character. The animations have the same thick lined minor detail flash that every animated kids show uses. It all just feels like nothing. Nothing new is brought to the table. I just don't understand it.
I don't feel like you've really gone into the episodes too much if you have this opinion. On the surface layer it doesn't look good, but the episodes are a lot better than expected and I'm really glad I started watching the show. The characters have real development, real emotions. They may have some basic outward characteristics but they really do change greatly. This and the fact that these episodes are animated very well and efficiently makes quite a good show, in my opinion. But, I am no one to judge and I respect the fact that you post your opinion. I hate when people get angry at me for saying a show is bad, or when I don't understand a show so I choose not to watch it.
I can understand where you come from, cringe, but I don't think you have actually seen the show. It has emotional turmoil and depth, and showed change in the cliched "uptight and smart." It showed why the "Lazy-shit-for-brains" acted so careless. We found out how lovable, and caring the "big, broody, scary, quiet one" was. And the "cool character that all kids want to be?" He has problems; He was ultimately forced to fill his unknown mother's place. He was shown war and anger and pain and he wasn't even older than 12. He has had to fight for his own survival, and he nearly died multiple times. That thick-lined animation has won quite a few awards. That show taught me how to truely care about something. Please don't call it nothing.
