In Praise of Animated
Posted: Tue Sep 25, 2012 11:36 am
I'd only ever seen season 1 of animated, and though I found it entertaining, didn't think it was anything special - if anything, it was just good enough to get me to accept it's blasphemy of character designs.
Since the hub has started playing animated season 2 (are we into season 3 now??), I've just been blown away at how much fun these episodes are, and how many arcs are ongoing and connected across multiple episodes. It makes watching Prime continue its Easter Egg Hunt narratives all the more difficult to enjoy.
Animated really mixed in a great balance of homage and novel, and its main characters grew rounder and more developed without you realizing it, rather than each getting the occasional "feature episode" to be developed more.
That's all!
