Koala Man

So after watching the entire series in one sitting, I can syat that it's failr enjoyable. For non-Australians, there are alot of jokes and references some people can't understand, but regardless of the cultural differences, it's a bloody good time for everyone to enjoy the absurdity of the show.

Though the general art style of the characters is based of oversaturated adult animated sitcoms, there are plenty moments of animation that stand out. Though it makes sense, by means to keeping Cusack's art style seperate from Smiling Friends and YOLO Crystal Fantasy.

Main characters are enjoyable to watch, despite having the cliche basis of a somewhat dysfunctional family to go through many experiences, they're charming as they are. Side characters are also enjoyable too, with small moments to shine for comedic relief.

It gets pretty ridiculous in the last 2 episodes, but in a good way that leaves alot of room of character depth and expanding it's own world. Can't wait to season 2 and what Michael Cuscak and the rest of the cast and crew can offer!

I first watched Koala man as a series of YouTube shorts and when I first heard of the series I was very excited. I am pleased to say I have not been disappointed by Michael Cusack's latest series. I have appreciated most of his work and style and this series is absolutely no exception. I like the animation stlye, it's oddly sloppy but well done nature is something I appreciate. The jokes lead from banal everyday events taken to their comedic extreme with a man dressed as a koala. I don't know why but the Australian accent adds a lot to the humour for me, I know it's part of the Aussie thing but still the voice actors delivery and accent for me adds to the humour. It's very much the style my friends and I have enjoyed whilst we were growing up and I am pleased it now has a series and recognition. I hope it goes a long way.

I just watched a first few episodes of Hulu's newest adult animated show, Koala Man. I've got to say that I was actually kinda impressed with it. The show's background design has more texture, and the visuals are nothing special, the visuals are at least quite fun to look at. The character designs reminds me of the art style from Rick and Morty, Close Enough, Solar Opposites, and Final Space. The characters are kinda like a mixture of the characters from Solar Opposites and Close Enough to me, and yet they're likable and the humor is also fun. Not to mention some of the parts of the show are really great, for example, some animation segments on the characters are considered to be really fluid and it's actually splendid to look at.

All and all, Koala Man will put a smile on your face and I highly recommend it, it's funny, action-packed, and it's enjoyable, especially from Michael Cusack and Justin Roiland.

I give Koala Man an 8.9/10.

Ok, I may be a sucker for adult animation, and also for Australian culture. So I was pretty much destined to enjoy this show. What I didn't know is that I'd enjoy it this much.

It's not based on bits like Family Guy, and it's not as smart as "Rick and Morty," some may see it as a desperate grab for American attention by throwing all this Aussie culture in their faces to woo them, with funny little cultural things like "showbags" and "sausage rolls" and other Aussie quirks, along with character donning the striking and appealing Aussie accent. But some of us are suckers for it, because let's be honest, our own culture is usually boring to ourselves. And Australians are, well, COOL to us yanks. Believe me, that accent holds a lot of power over us. It's more exotic than anything in Europe. So congrats Hulu, you did your research, and you found something that would catch our attention.

The show centers on Koala Man, the not-so-covert identity of a local family man who is a lot like Stan from "American Dad," but only the Australian version. He's a stickler to rules, and prides himself as being the head of a family, which he loves about as much as rules themselves. He exists in what appears to be an alternative reality of Earth, where strange things happen like animals talking, aliens screwing planets, and psychic powers are actually real. It's a wild world, and it's all in Australia. It certainly feels like Australia's trying to teach America and the rest of the world something about Aussie culture. I have always enjoyed Australian cinema, and this comes as a fresh addition to the adult animated comedy scene.

A welcome addition to adult animation, taking inspiration from the likes of solar opposites and Rick and morty, Koala man is funny, action packed and crazy. Solid yet wacky stories, with likeable characters. The animation style is unique and solid to watch. First few episodes in and the superhero element is perfectly matched with relatable and everyday occurrences spun with a satirical twist. One more thing too note is the beautiful Australian accent that makes profanity worth hearing. I look forward to future seasons of this eccentric Australian gem of animation. The use of a timeline makes this especially rewarding too watch.
