Hazbin Hotel

I've been following this show's development and progress for 2 out of the 4 years it was being made for, and now that it's finally out I can say that it exceeded every expectation I had for it. Not only was the animation beautiful to look at, but the entire thing was so ridiculously absurd and full of life. The characters are likable and very entertaining, my favourite probably being Alastor. The writing was also spot on. While it may have relied a little too heavily on swearing at points, the whole concept of it being set in hell kind of acts as leeway for that, along with the cartoony expressions, sexual nature of some of the characters, etc. But there were certainly a lot of funny moments in this pilot, in fact I had a massive smile on my face the whole time Alastor was on screen. There was a clear emotional center as well at points, so it was nice to see an adult show that wasn't ONLY centered on raunchy comedy. The music and songs were fantastic too, filled with a lot of energy, helped by the amazing voice cast. All the voice actors/actresses did a superb job and no one slacked off in the slightest. This was clearly made with true love and passion and I really hope it gets more funding or a network picks it up.

I really enjoyed this one. Viv managed to stay true to the pilot, which is a feat in and of itself. The world of Hazbin Hotel is very entertaining and offers a different take on Christian lore, one that goes back to its roots about forgiveness and flips the usual script. Yes, it's not the first, but it offers an entertaining view and teases with its lore and character background enough to leave the viewer wanting to know more.

It is a shame, though, that only 4 episodes were realased as of this writing. I was looking forward to an entire night of binging it. This interest is niche, but those in this genre should enjoy the adult humor laced with song in this format. I know I did.

Amazon, A24, and Bento Box, you had *better* let them finish this story!

Positives:

• Extremely fun and likable characters
• Wonderful Animation with beautiful lighting and a great energy
• Well done humor, in my opinion at least

Negatives:

• Plot moves at such an extreme break neck pace
• Way too many sound affects that became kind of distracting for me
• Poor shot timing in some scenes

Really original characters, stunning animation, really funny jokes, and great songs. I have been really looking forward to this for over a year and was not let down! I hope to see more soon

I was thoroughly entertained with the pilot of Hazbin Hotel, but one Issue I have is the abundance of sound affects. That being said, I love it, and hope to see more.
