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.

  

Trolls: The Beat Goes On! Season 2 Review

Trolls fans it's time for something new from the Trolls franchise as season 2 of The Beat Goes On! has just dropped on Netflix and since I liked the the first season I thought why not review the second so here we go.

As with the first season the show is episodic and I think it works for this series and some of the shows stories are really fun to see play out even if you know how the story is going to end before it happens I won't lie I saw the ending for Big Poppy coming a mile away but that doesn't mean it wasn't fun to see play out.

Returning for the second season we have Skylar Astin , Amanda Leighton , Kari Wahlgren , Sam Lerner , Ron Funches , Kevin Michael Richardson and Fryda Wolff. Unlike the last season where I couldn't get the original voices out of my head now I think Skylar and Amanda are great replacements for the film actors but with that said I still would have preferred it if they got all of the films main cast back for the series.

The animation was once again done by Dreamworks Animation and I think that the animation in this season is better then what they had in the last season if that even makes sense and it has a certain charm to it it's not the best animation like in Avatar but at the same time it's not as bad as Teen Titans Go! or any Sony Pictures Animation movie.

Alot of people might be wondering why I like this show well that's because while it is a bad show it's like the Fast & Furious movies in that it's pure junk food for the brain you know it's not going to be any good but at the same time you go and enjoy them anyway and to me that's what describes this show yes it's bad but at the same time you want to go and see it and have fun with it.

I have to ask this but do we really need Cooper in this show he's so freaking annoying he's fine in the movie because he's not in it that much but when the show focuses on him you would have thought that the makers of the show would have tried to make him less annoying but nope they didn't and it really does hurt the show as a whole.

Even tho I didn't notice it last season but DJ Suki is adorable as hell and in my opinion she's one of the best characters on the show (apart from Poppy that is) and it's a shame that she doesn't get that much screen time in the series which is a shame because every time she's on screen I end up laughing at least once.

For some reason people don't really talk much about this show and I think that's partly due to the fact it's on Netflix but also due to the fact that this for sure a kids show but either way I do think people should be talking about this show more even if it's in a negative light it's still better then nothing but if your not talking about it because you havn't got Netflix then fair enough.

This show does something awesome it makes a Back To The Future reference and it's really freaking funny but tho sadly not all of the jokes this season are funny in fact quite a few aren't and for some reason they reference The Shining as if the target audience have seen that movie but for every bad joke there's one or two that will at least make you smile and that's the best thing I can say about them they will make you smile.

Like the last season there's alot of songs in this season so many in fact that I actually cannot remember any of them I know Poppy has a solo song I think in episode one but that's really it and they have a song at least once per-episode it's like they made the soundtrack first and then released they had to come up with a way or marketing it so they made a Netflix series to sell the soundtrack.

Overall this season was pretty good but it's not as good as the first but then again the first season was so fresh to me that no matter how good this season was it wasn't going to top the first for me this series gets a perfect 5 out of 10.

  

Trolls: The Beat Goes On! Review

Trolls fans last year we had the christmas short film and now we have the Netflix series so let's see if this show is going to make you burst out into song or will it turn you into a burgen? lets find out in my review of Trolls: The Beat Goes On!.

The show basically follows the Trolls as they experience everyday life in the Troll Village. yeah as you can tell by the synopsis this show is episodic so there's no real story to speak of and for something like Trolls that actually works what doesn't work is the fact that each episode is two eleven minuet segments instead of just one half hour segment which i think would have been better.

Out of all the cast members from the film the only one who was brought back was Ron Funches as Cooper and he's ok in the show for the rest of the characters we have Skylar Astin as Branch , Amanda Leighton as Poppy , Sam Lerner as King Gristle , Fryda Wolff as DJ Suki, Satin and Chenille and Kari Wahlgren as Bridget. The new cast do an ok job i say ok because in my eyes the films cast suit the characters alot more then the ones in the show so i have to wonder why they didn't just get back the cast from film since those are the voices that audiences are most used to those voices?.

Now for some reason Netflix chose to release only twelve episodes for this first season even tho well over 50 segments were ordered and what's even more confusing is that season 2 will only have twenty episodes so i have to ask where are the rest of the segments coming from it might be a case of doing maths (which i'm terrible at so the episodes in total might reach 50) this is nothing against the series just something that really confused me.

  

I thought that the animation wouldn't be that good and while it can be fairly bad just because it's not going to look as good as the film. For the most part the animation is pretty good and as you can see by the above images it's not CGI it's done in 2D animation and i can see why they would do that since it's cheaper then doing it in CGI and rather shockingly i'm ok with that since for me the Trolls film was like a cartoon anyway so having done in this style makes me happy.

Something that really shocked me was the fact that this show is actually pretty funny i wasn't expecting this show to be as funny as it was no joke there was alot of times during these first six episodes where i laughed out loud yes the jokes aren't clever but sometimes you don't want or need clever jokes you just want to laugh but i will have to say this show does have fart jokes.

Another thing that this show has going for it is the songs for once they don't just do covers they have original songs and alot of them are actually really catchy for me the best song on the show is the opening number which is called Hair In The Air which is a nice little catchy number that really gets you in the mood for the show.

Overall this is a pretty good show for little kids but i think that if your a fan of the first film then you might like this show as well for me it gets a 5.5 out of 10.
