Magiespadas

No spoilers since nothing ever happens or changes. I give this series, mostly Season 1, a 6/10 for a multitude of reasons, but essentially for just a few major ones that I'll list here: 1. The pacing was bad but had since improved (though really, it should've done that from the start); 2, The main duo, who you're stuck with for the entirety of the show are really not that special or unique other than looks, plot devices and gimmicks; 3, The Magiswords (which are the selling point of the show, mind you) are typically uneventful or exciting; and 4, Although the other characters (usually those from the Academy Shorts) show promise, they get shoved to the side in favor of the ones we're already used to seeing (with a few exceptions; Cattus and Simone for example). There are but a few genuinely good things to come out this, but because the show is so heavily flawed and nothing ever changes, it ultimately comes out as 50-episode filler. Season 2, however, is a lot more interesting than much of season 1 with it's own improvements, but unfortunately, I don't believe it is enough to recover from all of the past episodes we've already seen. If the show were to be rebooted, or perhaps given a continuation of some kind, I hope that the makers of it will consider the details to truly make it one of a kind ;). There is still potential in it, but at the rate it and it's fandom are going, I don't know if we'll ever get to see it or not.

I know there people who'll say this should have just been kept to an online short series only, but if they kept making the shorts people would just demand harder for an actually T.V show. Though I do think The execution of this show fits better for shorts the show it self is nothing to sneeze at. The premise of the show is cool, A brother & sister team (prohyas & Vambre) are warriors for hire that are hired to fight monsters or go on quest so they can make rent and blow the rest on more Magiswords. The Magiswords are the specialty of this show & what the Warriors (not only there job but last name too LOL)use to fight evil & what not, its cool to see them battle and excel with swords that seem pretty useless but The 2 do well with swords like, Dolphin, Cheese, sleeping dragon, snowball And personal favorite Zombie pumpkin. The humor is fast paced & witty much like Tiny toons or Animaniacs, though this type of writing & pacing isn't as good, not to say it's terrible but there are some strange moments like when the duo make crazy faces or when jokes miss there mark it's pretty corny. Also Usually when they draw there swords the announcer States the swords name witch is OK to know the name of the sword but then it just feels like a way to fill the run time and when he announces A location he forces in some sort of catchphrase. Though sometimes they like to have fun with it. Overall this show is fun to watch and I think it can get better with time like some other cartoons have. I got to say this may come down to different strokes for different folks but I do recommend you check it out.

Wow. Just WOW. Really, Cartoon Network? This is the best you could come up with? You know how Teen Titans Go's ultra fast pacing was annoying? Turn that up five or six notches, and you have Mighty Magiswords.

Who's idea was this? The concept gets old and limited within three episodes. Different swords? They don't appear to be doing anything eventful with it except random clichés.

The two characters are one-note and obnoxious. Like Fanboy and Chum Chum obnoxious. And my GOD are they dumb.

The "humor" (emphasis on quotations) is a forced pun or one-liner ever second. Literally every second.

Boy CN, once Regular Show, Gumball, and Adventure Time end, you're royally screwed. Nickelodeon has a new juggernaut in The Loud House and you have this pile of garbage.

Just horrible. Don't believe me? Just set your child down in front of your TV or tablet and see if they don't wander off to do something else. Cheap flash animation that looks jittery; like a computer from 2007 trying to load an actual flash cartoon, and the voice acting is okay, that seems to be its only good quality. The only people who seem to vigorously defend this are 30 year old man-children. Just horrible. Don't believe me?

While the pacing can be a problem at times, the show's imaginative character designs, witty dialogue,fun stories, and AMAZING voice acting over-shadow any negatives that it may have. I'd also like to say that Flash animation and BAD animation are not the same thing, heck this show has some AMAZING action sequences despite their budget, as well as unlike a certain other popular CN show, they know how to shade their characters when needed.

But more than that, there is a nice underlying satire to this show that I can relate to, primarily in the characters of the main Warrior siblings and Witchy Simone. Prohyas and Vambre are the equivalent of the real world super collector, who at any chance they get throw money away on magiswords for their ever growing collection. Simone's relatable in a different way, trying to hone her magic expertise so she can get back to school, all funded by her job slinging slug burgers. Its fun, its relatable, its the next great show on Cartoon Network.
