Jentry Chau vs. The Underworld

Netflix better keep this show going i'm already hooked and i need more episodes IMMEDIATELY!! I really love the art style and ofc my favourite is ed i mean bowens voice is just great for him this was so cool from start to finish and i really hope we get to see seasons of development. A show about a girl fighting demons and monsters isn't new, but it's about the presentation, and Jentry Chau vs the Underworld has a great presentation. Memorable characters, fantastic action-packed animation, and an amazing coming-of-age arc. Really recommend, should everyone watch this peak ! This is like a true successor to Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Dont cancel this Netflix!!

While I am not 100% done with this series (I just finished episode 9) I felt very compelled to write a review.

Right off the bat, the visual style of this show is really just awesome, the vibrant colors are so eye-catching and they add a lot of emotion to the settings and characters. The show's title sequence animation is especially fun to watch. The soundtrack is also great, and combined with the great visuals it makes for a really interesting aesthetic.

As for the story, from what I have seen so far, Jentry Chau vs. The Underworld is shaping up to be a very exciting show, full of action, mystery, and lots of drama. It is so captivating to watch Jentry fight off demons from the underworld as she slowly uncovers the truth about her fire powers, and her mysterious past.

The show has some really interesting characters and concepts, a lot of which draw inspiration from Chinese mythology. It also attempts to tackle some slightly more mature themes and topics, and manages to do so pretty well.

Even though the show does draw on some slightly overused tropes (*cough cough* love triangle) it still tries to be fresh and original. Which is always nice to see.

It feels like this series still has a lot of room to grow. I personally am really excited to see how this season ends and am holding out hope for a season two!

This show is basically a modern day Buffy the Vampire Slayer, based on Asian Mythology. The animation is vibrant and creative while the music follows the modern Asian girl pop band vibe a la Arcane. But it is the story, characters and drama that carry the show. There are several good plot twists, that blends well together with the clash between modern characters vs ancient mythical powers and creatures.

So why is this show not a 10? The reason is the fast pace. Although I wouldn't go as far as to call Jentry, and her friends Mary Sues, they do skip the training and just get good out of nowhere... Not enough episodes is dedicated towards the characters becoming as capable as the are at the end of the season. That being said, this show sure knows how to make its characters look awesome, as they fight. Struggle, fall, grieve and get back up. The effort and heart, put into this show, is clearly evident.

I don't say that I like a show because not only does it have a great story but wow the music in this show is really beautiful and gives off a really good beat.

When ever Jentry is going through an emotion with a family or a friend or a monster the music really hopes go through each of the episodes. You don't often get that in a cartoon series. But so far in 2024 Netflix has been doing really well with their animation department.

And to be honest I really hope that there will be a season 2. It's hard to find good fantasy shows with a modern perspective. Plus this show is also very funny. I hope it stays for a little while longer.

Jentry Chau Vs The Underworld is not only the best show of the year, but one of the best shows l've ever seen. It is incredibly fun & action packed, gory, and amazingly animated. Ali Wong & Bohen Wang give the roles of their life, and the same goes to the cast.

I can't say this enough, I love the animation and how it looks. It's held in this specific aspect ratio the whole time, and it looks so theatrical and fluid. It is one of the best looking shows I've ever seen. Other than that, the culture on display, and how it adds to the story and worldbuilding is amazing. I love all the characters, and how the show even subverted some character traits later in the season. The emotional moments hit my soul, but it's also very funny and well written, with twist after twist after twist. The story shockingly always had a way to keep itself innovative.
