Wakfu

Watching this show was like the thrill of adventure. Please I don't want this show to end. Please make more seasons

This show is simply amazing. I've seen every episode of both seasons and was blown away. When I heard about Wakfu I thought it'd be underwhelming. I mean, a french anime based off of a game? Pffftttt. Boy was I wrong lol. The animation in this series is absolutely gorgeous and fresh. To my knowledge it was animated in flash which earns it points in my book because flash is quite hard to work with sometimes. Especially for large projects like this one. The voice acting is incredible and portrayed the emotions of the characters better than I'm sure an English dub or even Japanese dub could. The pacing, could be better, which is the only reason this series is getting a 9 from me instead of a 10. There are a fair amount of filler episodes that, frankly, despite my love for the show, could have been done away with. That's really the only bad thing I can think of when this show comes to mind. If you're bored and looking for an interesting anime to watch I'd HIGHLY recommend this series. Although, be warned. By the end you'll find yourself begging for more and at a loss as to what to do next. It's just that good in my honest opinion. I hear that there is supposed to be a third season at some point. I would love nothing more than for that to be true.

Most criticisms of the show are based in truth, but exaggerated very irresponsibly. The audio, animation, dialogue, pacing, etc does leave something to be desired, but it's not near as bad as critics would have you believe. To loosely quote Eva, the (minor) faults of the show are all eclipsed by the most beautiful character and world design you will ever see. Every scene is a work of art and a feast for the eyes. The characters are lovable and engaging. The world exciting and fresh. 10/10 for an incredible show!

Wakfu is one of the best animated shows that a cartoon/anime lover could watch. It is a cross-media show, building off of a world established in an isometric MMORPG made earlier called Dofus, the world of Wakfu has a very deep and expansive lore behind it, and the show creates a wonderful, diverse, well written and presented world that keeps the viewer interested constantly.

The show has a large array of characters, each with their own motivation, story, personality, and development. The main cast of characters that the viewer tags along with are each well developed and complex characters in their own right and they have a wonderful group chemistry with each other. The villains of the show are some of the best I have ever seen. There are two main villains throughout the main two seasons, and they are both tragic and complex with their own motivations and back-stories that make every moment they are in highlights of the show.

The story is also just as good as the characters, with complex but relatively easily understandable stories in which each element of the plot is important and relevant. The show knows when to sit back, relax, and have a good time, yet it also knows when things need to get serious. The jokes are pretty funny, and the writers poke fun at plenty of western culture here and there, and they are clever bastards, fitting in plenty of adult jokes and innuendos if that floats your boat. My only complaint would be the more lackluster filler in the first 12 - 13 episodes of the first season.

The animations, in particular, is one of my favorite aspects of the show. The entire show, and coincidentally the MMORPG(s) it is based on, are animated in Adobe Flash. But do NOT let that discourage you. The animation in this show is not top notch, but the animators work hard to keep things consistently pleasing and smoothly animated. The show has a good standard, and it never drops below it. The show also makes expert use of its color, using a bright and colorful color scheme for the majority of the time, but using darker colors when things get serious.

Lastly, the entire show is french-made. The original dub is in french, and it might be off-putting at first, but I highly recommend the original french version over the English dub if you can handle the quicker dialogue in french. The English dub has good voices, but the acting is plain bad at times, especially during action scenes, where characters needlessly grunt in weird and almost unenthusiastic ways that detract from the actual action going on. The french dub, in comparison, has awesome voices for the characters as well as good acting. The french dialogue can seem emotionless at times, but it is never bad in any way, only getting better as the show progresses.

This show is absolutely wonderful. It's one of the best shows that any cartoon lover can watch, and with a small spin-off series focusing on some of the secondary characters, three extra long special episodes expanding the characters, story, and world even more, and a variety of comics that tell the stories of plenty of the characters in the show, and two movies coming out in 2016-2017, there's plenty to watch and enjoy. This is by far my most highly recommended show for anyone and everyone who's interested.

First off I have to say that this show is honestly really great. It combines elements of action, adventure, friendship, and a little romance(although if you really aren't into that stuff like me there isn't much so don't worry). Not only that if you don't normally like, or just don't watch anime at all, you don't need to worry about this that much. I know that if most anime can be mature for younger audiences but when it comes to Wakfu it is pretty much fine for all ages. I saw this show on Netflix and started watching it when I don't watch this sort of thing at all, but I loved the story and characters.

The show has a love able cast of characters from different backgrounds that come together to do something none of them could do by themselves. The show follows: Yugo, Sir Percidal (Dally or Pinpin in french), Evangeline (Eva), Amalia, and Ruel. The characters are all different and come from different situations but they all end up becoming friends who fight together for the world of 12.

They fight evil villains (but not so evil its too much) that try to destroy the world of 12 such as Nox and others you'll discover later if you watch the show. Overall I can't tell you how great this show is its one of my favorite to this day (there is a season three for this show that I believe is set to release on April 2, of 2018 also).

I hope you watch the show and enjoy every minute of it, its great. Thanks for reading (if you did),
