'Biatches' (2014)
Opening thoughts: This negative review and my lowest possible rating is not being given out with pleasure. Have always aimed to be generous and perceptive when reviewing, even when being more critical over time, and am a firm behaviour in seeing good in the bad. 1/10 is a very rare rating for me now, one that this reviewer actually dislikes giving out, and only given out to things that insult the intelligence, show no signs of trying or competence. Unfortunately, that is the case here and this is coming from a huge fan of animation of all styles and decades.
Good things: No redeeming merits whatsoever.
Bad things: Everything is executed awfully at best. The animation is some of the worst personally seen anywhere not just in recent years but ever, it takes a lot for me to describe any film/television component physically ill-worthy but that applies here. Especially in the truly hideous character designs, that was indicative of worse than rushed deadlinea and tight time conatraints but more like the animators being on strike.
There is absolutely nothing good or memorable about the music, which makes the ears bleed, is too loud, too obvious and is constantly discordant with the action. The theme tune is irritating as heck. The storylines are paper thin and predictable, as well as severely lacking in energy and variety.
Some of the worst writing in any animated show can be found here. Crude humour can be done well, brilliantly in fact in 'South Park' and the early seasons of 'Rick and Morty', but it here goes well overboard, with no sharpness or subtlety, and is really distasteful. The gags are at best unimaginative, tired, repetitive and intelligence insultingly dumb. All the characters are devoid of personality (or at least an appealing one) and/or obnoxious beyond belief. The voice acting sees a mix of over compensating in a nauseating degree and phoning in (like they knew the material was terrible and gave up).
Concluding thoughts: Really awful.
1/10 and that is being kind.
