Final Space Review

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.

Some Thoughts About Final Space

Guys a few days ago TBS did something I don't think any other network has done and that's debut the premier episode or in this case episodes on Reddit and now finally i've seen those two episodes and here are some thoughts I have about Final Space.

Bottom line I really like it so far but i'm going to go into a bit more detail as to why starting with the mystery yeah there's a mystery in this show in the opening few minuets of both episodes one and two we see our hero is nearly dieing and yet we don't know why or what's caused this current situation plus there's this other mystery with another main character which starts in episode two.

The cast consists of creator Olan Rogers , Fred Armisen , Spongebob Squarpants , David Tennant , Tika Sumpter and Coty Galloway and I have to say that based of the first two episodes the cast are really good I honestly couldn't tell who David Tennant was playing in this show and I won't spoil it here just because it doesn't sound like at all nor does it sound like Scrooge Mcduck either.

Unlike most other cartoon shows I review this isn't episodic or at least these first two episodes aren't we see things set up in part one that pay off in part two and I hope we get more of that in future episodes I obviously cannot talk about the story just yet as we are only a few episodes in but I do like the fact that there seems to be a story forming.

Unlike Hot Streets where the animation was very mixed here the animation seems to be really freaking good and to be frank I was shocked at how good it really was just because I don't really think TBS has made a good cartoon series and yes I don't count American Dad as that show is made by Fox where as this show is made by TBS.

Not only is the animation really good but so is the CGI and the backgrounds I find it's very hard to see good CG in cartoons as it often stands out next to the 2D characters but here it honestly does look really freaking good and the backgrounds look like something you'd see on Rick and Morty or any Steven Spielberg produced show.

Guys to give you a fair warning these two episodes are violent as heck especially episode 2 where a main character has something happen to them and you see something I thought i'd never see in a cartoon and that's really all I can say about it without either spoiling the episode or making some of you feel sick but it's also something i'm glad they added since it makes the show feel more real somehow.

I don't exactly know if i'll do a full review of this series yet it all depends on how many episodes there are and if I can find the time to do it but this is a show I will be watching when it comes out that's how good it is I actively want to watch the next episode.

Overall guys this is a show worth watching it's dark and twisted in some places so if you like that kind of stuff then you'll love this and you watch the first two episodes now on the TBS website and on the TBS app or if you want you can wait until February 26th to watch them both on TV. 

  

Some Animated Shows Coming Out This Year

Hello there animation fans I know that this post isn't exactly topical right now since were know where near the start of the year but since i'm writing this on my birthday i can do whatever i like so here are some animated shows that are coming out this year and some of them are shows i'm really excited for.

Our Cartoon President

I never knew about this show when i started this list / post but after seeing the trailer I know cannot wait for February 11th if you want to know who there spoofing exactly all you need do is look at this image plus it's being produced by Stephen Colbert who also created the show but if you cannot wait until then the episode will be online on January 28th.

ReBoot: The Guardian Code

I admit to knowing nothing about this show but based on the images that i've seen the series does look like something that i would be into there's pretty much nothing released about the show when it comes to air dates the only bit of info i can find is that it will air in February on Netflix but sometime sooner on YTV.

The Adventures of Kid Danger

Nickelodeon has been killing it recently when it comes to animation but this is something nobody wanted and something nobody asked for in case you don't know this show is a spin-off of Henry Danger a live action comedy and it just looks bad.

Watership Down

This show is being made by the BBC and i'm guessing will air in the UK on CBBC if not one of the main BBC channels and it will on Netflix in America this show has a huge budget of £20 million and i've read the cast list it reads like a who's who of cinema it's a really impressive cast list.

Big City Greens

Pretty much the only thing that's known about this show is the plot which reads The series will focus on Cricket Green a mischievous but optimistic country boy who moves to the big city along with his family. This honestly doesn't look that bad Disney have been killing it recently with there animated shows so this one does have potential to be great.

Close Enough

Much like alot of the shows i've mentioned there's next to nothing released about this show the only thing released is something we all know and that's the fact it's being made by J. G. Quintel who is also doing one of the voices.

Final Space

This show looks funny as heck and that's the best way I can describe how excited i am for this show even now i'm struggling to write more about this show that's how good it truly looks and i cannot wait for it to start on February 26th.
