Nomad Of Nowhere Review


I talk alot about cartoons and I will continue to do so but I havn't really talked about westerns and as luck would have it there's a new western cartoon out and I really wasn't planning on making this a review in fact it was just going to be me giving out some thoughts on the show with a review to come later on but then I thought screw it so here is my review of Nomad Of Nowhere.

In terms of plot there really isn't one in fact to me the plot feels more like a Road Runner cartoon where you get the basic set up and you watch it all crash and burn and honestly I don't mind the fact that the show really doesn't have a plot this review is coming out after episode 2 so one might develop later on but for now there's no plot to speak of what so ever.


Now I would like to point out that the Nomad is a mute character so the rest of the cast includes Danu Uribe ,  Elizabeth Maxwell , Ryan Haywood ,  Eddy Rivas , Stephen Fu and  Alejandro Saab. I'm going to come right out and say it the voice Elizabeth uses for the character Skout sounds alot like a grown up Applebloom and i'm not to sure how I feel about that since at times it is kinda distracting but then again it's also fun to imagine a grown up Applebloom.

Now it will not surprise me at all if I get comments from people saying they havn't heard of this show in fact the only way I found out about was due to random ad that showed up on the side of a random Youtube video and even then I have to do some research to see if it was a real advert or not.


I forgot to mention this before but this show is made by Rooster Teeth and sine the only other show of theirs I watch is RWBY I was shocked to see them handle a 2D show and I have to admit the animation wasn't that bad it's not that good either but that's besides the point there's a lot of nice and creative looking backgrounds but tho with that said the characters movements do seem to jerk around a bit.

As I mentioned before the Nomad is a mute character and for me that's where most of the show's humor comes from a character would say something to him / her and then the Nomad would do a funny reaction and I don't mind that at all since his reactions are quite funny but I could do without them using cartoon sound effects all of the time.


I don't usually like to talk about the designs of characters mostly because I have no idea what i'm talking about half of the time but I have to say that I like the character designs in this show Skout looks like how I picture a girl in the wild west would look and the nomad has a mysterious look about him that I just love.

Since RWBY cought on pretty quick with the animation community I hope the same thing happens here because truth be told we do need shows that are just plain silly fun as well as needing shows that are serious and groundbreaking we cannot have to much of one and not enough of the other and it helps that the show is also like I said before really funny.


Overall i'd say that if your a fan of Rooster Teeth then I would recommend you check this show out even if your not a fan of the team then I would still recommend it to you altho you will need to borrow some one's Rooster Teeth account to get the new episodes a week before they go up on Youtube this series scores a 7 out of 10 from moi and FYI there might be a review of the new Muppet Babies coming soon.
