My Adventures with Superman

My adventures with Superman definitely felt like it was trying to set-up the characters, the world and the conflict for the rest of the season during its premiere which may come off as a bit too fast paced however, the show tries to balance its rushing pace with humour and heart. This is not a deconstruction of Superman or a social commentary of what would happen if he appeared in our world but rather a heartfelt story about a boy trying to find his place in the world.

The characters are charming, the action is cool and the jokes are funny, this show definitely proves how much we have missed Supes in the animated format on our screens.

Although I can't say that I'm blown away by this series, but I most definitely disagree with the negative reviews. This show is just a pretty simple and fun entertainment. Perhaps it's a bit too childish for my grown-up tastes, but people tend to forget that not every superhero story needs to appeal to a "mature" audience. Most superheroes were made for kids, not grumpy adults! Plus, the show is not TOO childish, so even the adults (parents or grown-up Superman fans) may still find it to their liking.

It's been a long time since we had such a lighthearted story about Superman, since most of his recent movies/shows/videogames are pretty grim and turn him (or characters heavily inspired by him) into an antihero or even a villain. So I'm pleased to see the trend of "good guy Superman" making a return.

I saw both of these premiers on Max and I was very pleased. Great animation, talented voice acting and it brings back the great memories of Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, Teen Titans, Justice League and The Brave And The Bold. This is a great start to yet another success for Adult Swim ( since it first airs on there network ), with other Amazing shows like Smiling Friends and Unicorn Warriors, plus with adult swim's new 6:00 time slot featuring the cartoon cartoon Friday shows like Dexter's Lab, Courage and Ed, Edd, Eddy. This new Superman show will fit great here and I know Superman fans will love it just as much as I did.

It seems that the show may be challenging for individuals who are not familiar with watching anime. However, for those who are well-versed in the genre, there are numerous reasons to appreciate it. The series incorporates all the signature anime elements and conventions, which are often cherished by fans. In terms of content, the first two episodes serve as a strong introduction, and it is highly likely that subsequent episodes will only improve upon this foundation. I found the voice acting to be very pleasing, and the character design is also noteworthy. Overall, the show has the potential to captivate and engage viewers, especially those who are already fans of anime and Superman, this new representation really is a breath of fresh air for the character.

My Adventures with Superman does an excellent job of inventing the Man of Steel for a new audience. The anime inspirations make it visually unique and give it the opportunity to design epic battles in an already detailed world. The redesigns of some popular villains were all fresh and creative, while still maintaining an air of familiarity. Given the short runtime and episode count, there isn't much time to breath or build on specific scenes, but with the time it has, the team behind it do a fantastic job at building on the relationships around Clark. The voice actors come together in a way that feels like they are in the room with you and their louder than life expressions and attitude blend perfectly with the dramatic anime styling. Between Superman & Lois, My Adventures with Superman, and the anticipation of Superman: Legacy, being a Superman fan has never been better!!
