Rating My Favorite Netflix Animated Shows From Least Favorite To Most Favorite

There's no denying the fact that Netflix has changed how people view there favorite no longer do they want to wait a week for the next episode they now want the next episode right away and as well as giving us quality shows like Orange Is The New Black and GLOW they have also given us a handful of animated shows and i'm going to list my personal favorite shows from least favorite to the ones that I simply cannot live without.

Trollhunters

Oh boy I can literally feel all of your hate right now and given the fact that there's a chance a certain fan favorite show is also going to make an appearance on this list i'm going to make a guess and say that it's going to get worse but the reason why this show is so low down isn't because it's a bad show far from it but it just didn't grab me.

Voltron :Legendary Defender

OK put those pitchforks down I do have a reason for this both being on this list and higher up then Trollhunters it's higher then the previous show because it does have some interesting ideas and some nice animation however it's also this low down because like Trollhunters this series didn't grab me and the only season / series I watched all the way through was season 5 which was a bore fest in my eyes.

Harvey Street Kids

I very recently did a review of this show so if you want to know more about what I thought about this show then you can just find the review but to cut a long story short it's an average show but it's also a show that has fun with it's premise and it has some really fun characters and animation.

The Hollow

I admit when I first started writing this post I forgot about this show which is such a shame because it's so freaking good this show got my attention from the very first episode and it never let go you never really know what's going to happen next or where the story is going and all of that concludes in a great twist ending.

Trolls: The Beat Goes On!

I did contemplate putting the next show I want to talk about here but when push came to shove the other show was better but that just goes to show you how good this show is because the next show is really freaking good and for a show aimed at little kids this show is really entertaining I never once felt bored while watching a single episode of this show and the opening theme song is really good and catchy as hell.

Castlevania

What else was it going to be I talk about this show alot whenever I talk about Netflix's animated output but like I said it was a tough call to choose which show to put here but in the end this show has better writing , better animation and better voice acting and is an all round better show and yes I am excited for season 2 October 26th cannot come soon enough.

If I didn't mention your favorite show then it's either because A) I don't watch it and thus can't really say if it's a good show or not or B) I like these shows better people have different opinions so that could also be the case either way don't spread hate only love.

  

Trollhunters Review

Netflix has a mixed record when it comes to producing animated shows some are really bad but then there's a few shows that are actually really good and one of those shows is the show that i'm going to take a look at today so here is my review of Trollhunters.

The premise of this show is Jim an average high school kid finds himself in procession of a magic amulet that allows him to become a trollhunter and he along with his friends defend trolls from evil trolls as well as protecting there town. Yeah this series is as epic as i've just made it sound but what makes the show truly stand out is the fact that over it's three seasons each season has a different story to tell so you could watch any season and know who the characters are.

Now sadly this was the final voice role for actor Anton Yelchin who played Jim in the first two seasons he had recorded the first two seasons and some of the third so for the third season Jim was played by Emile Hirsch with Anton getting additional voice credit and in my opinion the two voices were really well mixed you can't really tell when it's Emile and when it's Anton which for me is always a good sigh.

Also in the cast are Charlie Saxton , Jonathan Hyde , Cersei Lannister , Kelsey Grammer , Fred Tatasciore , Lexi Medrano and Lauren Tom. While the main cast list is indeed impressive what really impressed me was who they got in the guest list in the first episode the troll that dies is played by Tom Hiddleston and Luke Skywalker is in the series. Performance wise the show can be a very mixed bag for me and honestly i'm expecting to get some hate fr saying this but it's true just because there are times where the line delivery could have been better.

As i'm sure you all know by now this show was animated by Dreamworks Animation and unlike there film division there TV output has been pretty solid and the animation has always been really good and the same can be said for this show for me at times the animation in the show looked like it belonged in a movie. 

I have no idea what the budget was for this show but given how good the animation was it has to be high because you don't get that good animation on a small TV budget plus they get a lot of crazy camera angels which really do show of how great the animation truly is.

Now this series was the first in a trilogy of shows with 3 Below and Wizards to come but what I noticed when watching the second season and first season was the fact that for the whole of the first season the name Tales Of Arcadia didn't show up in the titles it only started showing up in the final two seasons which leads me to believe that the trilogy wasn't planned until work on season 1 had been done.

Also of note is the length of each season for the first season there was a huge twenty six episodes which honestly i'm glad they didn't do for the final two seasons since they are only thirteen episodes respectfully if each season was twenty six episodes I wouldn't have even thought about doing this review because that's way to much even for me twenty six episodes is two much content to digest.

Speaking of 3 Below when I was doing some research for the review I found out that the characters Aja and Krel are going to be the main characters in that series which will also see the return of Cole Sand and Steven Yeun's Steve and Eli and given how this series ends I think it's safe to say that there will be at least one or two more returning characters but either way if your planning on watching 3 Below you have to watch Trollhunters and by the way I love Aja.

I have to say bravo to the team because the action scenes in this series are so freaking good it's unreal and again it makes me wonder what the heck the budget was for this show since most live action movies don't have action scenes this good and honestly they were the best part of the season 3 and series finale for me just because they were so stunning to look at.

What you might not know is this show is actually based on the book released in 2015 of the same name written by series creator Gulliermo del Toro and co-written by Daniel Kraus the book i'm guessing became a hit because Dreamworks then tried to adapt it into a movie before settling on turning it into a series for Netflix and well we know how that turned out.

Overall Trollhunters once again proves that Netflix can indeed air good animated shows and given what else they have lined up they could have more good animated shows on there but this series is not without fault since most of the first season is forgettable and like I said the performances are a bit off so it gets an 8.5 out of 10.
