Neo Yokio

The show has the right idea for a Western Cartoon very obviously inspired by anime.

But for me my main problems with the show stem from the lifeless feel of some of the voice acting and maybe the not so well matched up voice acting with certain characters. Jaden isn't bad but I feel with a little more effort and life added to his acting as his character, would make his character Kaz seem more engaged with the plot that's going on in the cartoon. Also the actress for Helena could use a bit more life to her character's role as well because she just sounded too disinterested most of the time.

Then there's the actors who play Gottlieb and Lexy actually do kind of well with the voice acting, the actress for Aunt Agatha who does well with the voice acting and feels well suited, Charles' actor feels well suited, and even the actor who plays Arcangelo seems well suited for his role.

But even some decent voice acting can only take you so far with your characters. Sometimes they feel a bit 2 dimensional but there's definitely room for development.

That's some of my small gripes with the voice acting and characters now to the plot.

It feels like something I've kind of seen in anime, but just add all these different things about the futuristic city, fashion, and popularity (Hierarchies) that Gen Z kids are really into with it. I mean if the story decided to expand more with the main plot instead of focusing so much on the fashion and popularity stuff maybe it wouldn't feel a bit underwhelming for me.

Don't get me wrong I like the show, but really I can tell there is room for improvement. And because it has only 6 episodes so far, so there's maybe a chance of improvement occurring during the show's future production.

And if you enjoyed the show that's good for you!! I just hope my review was somewhat helpful!! Thanks for reading!! ^_^

I really enjoyed the campy-Zoolander-style of this show. If you're in the mood for a funny lighthearted show that doesn't take itself too seriously this is a great watch. It has been called pretentious, but the pretentiousness (or lack of true pretentiousness) is the reason it is funny. It doesn't take itself seriously. It knows its characters are ridiculous and that's part of the fun. If you love and prefer violent horror anime like Ajin you're probably not going to like it. A lot of anime lovers complained about it, but I found it refreshingly funny compared to the overly serious and excessively violent anime that I have seen lately. If you liked Zoolander you will probably like this show. I had to give it an 8 out of 10 since the actual animation is not that great, but in a way, the animation reflects its lack of seriousness. I watched it for the comedy and the story. It's not perfect, but it is good. It's something new and original and it made me smile. If you want it to be serious you're missing the fun.

This is definitely one of those experiences you will either love or hate. It is definitely satire.

The Art should always lend to the production and the design appears very purposefully American with a setting that is a parody of New York, it makes perfect sense. The art took some getting used and is probably the only reason this anime isn't better reviewed.

The Characters are all satirical parodies of real-life dynamics and remain a social dialogue about the bourgeoisie.

There were many interesting elements including the world in which demons exist but the main plot line doesn't seem to actually require them. The music was beautifully classic and lent itself to this darkly hidden subterfuge that maintained an aggressive presence in the undertone while making this ever prevalent facade.

To me the story doesn't appear to be about demons, it appears to be a youths experiences and growing up to see that everyone wears masks.

A smart and funny caricatcher of modern life played out with a great voice cast including Jaden Smith who voiced his part of a spoild brat perfectly and The Kid Mero and Desus Nice who's every other line was delivered hilariously. Definitely worth your time if you are either a fan of anime or dry humour.

I legitimately had no idea what to expect. I was just thumbing through Netflix and came across this on their recently added. Neo Yokio is very, VERY different from anything else you have seen, and it is important to keep this in mind while watching it.

It feels like Wes Anderson, the anime, so there is very little precedent for the show in general. The show keeps the mood light and rarely takes itself or its characters seriously. Don't try to take it seriously, but instead focus on the comically unfitting soundtrack, the deadpan delivery of ridiculous lines, and the hilarious commentary on how out of touch the social elite can be. 6 episodes is by no means an investment, and you may enjoy it!
