Neo Yokio

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.

This is a fun and original show, not at all what I expected actually. The main character is a melodramatic douche and it's animated so you don't have to see his face, in many ways this is the role Jaden Smith was born to play. The voice acting and animation is not stellar but I recommend it completely unironically. This is just a fresh and fun show, better than most comedy anime.

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!! ^_^

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.

Critics are being far too harsh on this show this show reminds me of shows like golden boy or flcl it's weird, strange, kirky and odd not to mention hilarious and it knows what it is from the first episode. Im what most would consider a hard core anime fan and I thoroughly enjoyed this. Kaz isn't the most likable main character at first but his character development is definitely there i thought the ending to the first season was a smart move although it was a little odd it did feel it stayed true to the shows overall feeling. I'm interested to see how Kaz develops in future seasons.
