SheZow

Wow.  This show is innovative.  And like most innovations it will be met with mixed feelings but I love this show.  It's quirky, genuinely funny and has good messages for kids.  One episode deals with stealing, one with empathy, another with jealousy.  It's one strong story after another and I look forward to the next.  

There seems to be a lot about it online and episodes get put up and yanked down faster than laundry on a clothes line but I will remain diligent and look for it to be back soon, for it is one of the few shows I will let my kids watch.  In the meantime, You go girl!  Let's not read too much into the concept.  It's just a cute little comedy for kids and nobody needs to make it into anything else.  

Yes, the series is full of she-puns and normally I would hate that but these puns are good and they actually got me coming up with my own she-puns.  Unfortunately.  The theme song is an ear worm which I wish I could yank out but at least it's catchy.  The design of the show is fresh.  There's nothing out there that I know of that looks like this and the designer, Kyla May should be applauded.  The quality of the stories do however vary from episode to episode and there have been a couple of stinkers but the great episodes, like Mister Nice Guy and Cold Finger certainly do make up for it.  I think the gender angle of the show will be good for kids if left alone.  That's because it is only one aspect of the series.  Like I said, it's fun, light and good natured.  The quality of the actual animation is spotty.  It can be very good and it can be very bad.  The characters often come off wooden and rigid but other times not.

The series is hit and miss overall, but the genuine comedy makes up for any shortcomings.

The fact that a 12 year boy cannot save the world unless he's in a pink costume meant for a female superhero is quite hilarious. And the fact that he will have to learn to embrace this embarrassing side-effect might actually be something good for kids to see. Maybe this is a cartoon who's time has come.

I found it entertaining and clever, and I think kids will find it funny. The characters are likable and the villains are funny. There are a lot of so-so kids cartoons out there - at least this one is unique.

If conservatives have a problem with it, I hope they actually WATCH it before they judge, because it's really quite innocent. I'm looking forward to seeing more episodes.

I really like Shezow. What's not to like. Lets remember who the target audience is, first of all; it is my daughter and her friends, not me. And She loves it. The colors are catchy and the jokes are cute. But what I really like about it is that I think ideally, it teaches tolerance and embraces the fact that there are no absolutes. Sometimes I feel I am putting on my "male" super power ring, when I have to do certain tasks, that does not make my any less a woman... but I digress. My kid and her friends crack up when they watch it and I think they do use their imaginations when they watch SheZow, imagining themselves to be super too.

If it was not for the internet for me to be able to watch this, I will never able to mention a good cartoon that has a place in my heart.

Although obviously there's always be flaws, I really can't find myself getting bored watching it in every episode. Each indeed have a life lesson for kids to learn, while teenagers can see deeper meanings. It's also funny and amusing for me at the same time to see Guy as Shezow trying to fight evil while "being a girl" for a bit so he/she won't be suspicious in the public.

The beginning episodes works out like "testers" if you really going to like the show. It's where "she-puns" go rampant and may annoy you. If you passed, then be happy as they die down a bit. Actually, I was hoping if the creator would reduce this in second installment but it already did in this cartoon. As a plus, the she-puns were timed and gives oomph to the mood of the show.

Well, I have nothing to say here other than the she-puns. Guy's "girl voice" may irritate you but you may get used to it, and I think it's done on purpose. Some complain about the lengthy opening theme but really it doesn't. Anime shows in Japan also have the same length of theme songs on average.

So what can I say to this? I don't like it, but I love it! I just can't get enough of Shezow.

Overall the quality of this animate show is decent, but nothing to write home about, although the over use of bad puns can definitely turn away many viewers. It's the controversial theme of a 12 year old boy wearing girl clothes that's most notable about this show, and as such is primarily the focus at many points in the show.

Since this show is aimed at children, who most likely wouldn't mind the excess of puns it succeeded in it's goal of being a decent kids show, but unlike other animated shows who can capture a child and adult audience, this will have a harder time capturing an audience of anyone other than 5-11 year old's.
