Cartoon fans it is finally here after weeks of an amazing series Final Space has released it's season 1 finale and as I promised all those weeks ago here is my review of Final Space.
The plot of this series is Gary and his cute and also deadly but mostly cute sidekick Mooncake embark on an adventure to find out what final space is and along the way they will pick up new friends. It's really hard for me to describe this series because i've only just watched the finale but when I said all those weeks ago that I had a feeling a story was coming together I was freaking right and it really was well told.
Starring in the series is series creator Olan Rogers as Gary , Mooncake and Tribore , Fred Armisen as KVN (pfft KVN) , Spongebob as HUE , Scrooge Mcduck as Lord Commander , Tika Sumpter as Quinn Airgone and Nightfall , Steven Yeun as Little Cato and Coty Galloway as Avocato. Damn the cast for this show do an amazing job I freaking loved every single freaking performance and even tho I knew David Tennant was in the series I was amazed at how well he hid his voice he doesn't use his normal voice at all and it suits the character really well.
I will say that if you have any tears left after watching Infinity War this show has got you covered especially the last episode for a few early episodes you think it's going to be all happy and jolly and then there's a turning point in the series where something happens to one of the main characters and from that point on wards it takes a more serious approach.
The animation was done by Jam Filled Ottawa and ShadowMachine judging by what else Jam Filled have worked on (it's mostly Thomas & Friends) I think they did the CGI opening with Shadowmachine doing the episodes I know alot of people hate the CGI in the opening I think it's not that bad yes it could be better but tho there are shows and movies with worse CGI.
As for the animation in the actual episodes it was freaking fantastic and beautiful to look at you can see alot of detail in almost every scene and later episodes the animation helps sell the emotion of the scene and that's a very freaking rare thing for me to say.
Now what some people might not know is that creator Olan Rogers is actually a Youtuber and Final Space was one of the videos he made for his channel but it was called Gary Speed so this means Final Space is the first actually good TV series made by a Youtuber and it does prove that people who make Youtube videos can indeed make good TV shows.
Everything that happens in the first season comes full circle by the time we get to episode ten and all of those flash forwards that we see at the start of every episode we find out what caused them and I don't know if it will anyone else but it made me feel sad.
Many people have compared the shows humor to that of Futurama I would like to compare it's action to that of Star Wars (original trilogy not the prequels) because damn is the action in this show freaking impressive and instead of the story being stopped just to have an action sequence the action scenes in this show help advance the story and that's not something that you see that often in most shows.
The only thing that's stopping this from being a perfect series for me is how this first season ends which i'm not going to spoil but it's something that I hate in all series finale's and it really is a huge sin if they havn't been picked up for a second season
Humor wise this show is very freaking funny and for me one of the funniest characters on the show is KVN (pfft KVN) he is so freaking insane and everything he says and does does indeed get a laugh out of me but he's not the only funny character tho at one point or another all of the characters have made me laugh.
Overall this is a freaking fantastic series and if TBS havn't done already then they should pick this up and they would already have a story because Olan Rogers has said that's he's mapped out at least five seasons of the show and so this show gets a 9.5 out of 10 from me.
