Battle for Dream Island

I am into shows like Survivor or Total Drama Island. So obviously, I decided to give this one a shot. And overall, I enjoyed it.

In my opinion, I think the series' peak was at it's first season. The characters were good, the challenges the contestants did were creative, and the animation, despite looking very weird for today's standards, is fairly impressive for two 12 year olds.

I'm not going to act like the series was perfect. Like for example, I think the second half of the forth season is very disappointing. Especially since the first half was nearly was good as the first season.

Overall, the series isn't fantastic. But if you have a couple hours to yourself, I recommend you check at least the first season out.

Wow, dispute the lack of blood and gore, this show can be a little extreme with the violence at times. Nothing that a 7 year old can't handle, especially with almost all characters being able to be revived, but still. Overall an extremely fun show, one of the best web shows ever. The first season might turn some people off with the first few episodes, but other than that (and a few eh episodes), this show is amazing and deserves the hugw fanbase. And it deserves more than a 7.5/10 on imdb.

BFDI is one of the funniest videos I've watched on YouTube.

I first discovered Battle For Dream Island around 2014.i'd heard things here and there about it, and with it's lack of mention around threads, I was pretty skeptical to see it from myself.

I am proud to say that this webtoon did exceed some my expectations.

First off, let me just say that I'm not a huge fan of the first season. sure, the animation was "meh" at first, and the final two were both the somewhat bland characters of the cast, but nonetheless it's still enjoyable. Plus, the improvement is clearly noticeable as you go through each episode.

The characters in the first half were mostly enjoyable, and most of them had their own unique qualities (although some of them were somewhat stereotypical.) The plot is basically Survivor but with objects. For the most part, it worked out pretty well throughout both seasons of BFDI. My complaint however is that sometimes it came off as generic and predictable.

Now, let's talk about the second season, Battle For Dream Island Again.

Battle For Dream Island Again is a MAJOR step forward from what the first season was. Many of the problems I had were actually fixed in the second season, which I was pretty happy about. Th characters I'd originally disliked became some of my favorites in the series, and the generic vibe had disappeared without a trace.

The new cast members are AMAZING. Never have a loved a quirky bunch of characters like these guys. Actually, I found almost EVERY character in the second season likable and had distinct traits to them. The characters I didn't like this season ere Pencil, Match< and Ruby. Pencil and Match are just the typical valley girls in my opinion. I've found them annoying from the beginning of the series. Ruby however, isn't as bad as Pencil and Match? It's just that I found her a bit of a HUGE crybaby. But otherwise, her character is just a bit "meh" to me, and Ruby is the only new cast member on my dislikes list.

The animation is absolutely amazing. You can clearly tell that they've greatly improved from the first season of BFDI, and there are some sequences that are just beautiful to look at. Although I did have a slight problem with the CGI segments, there weren't much of a bother.

Unfortunately, BFDIA was cancelled in 2013.

However, it was rebooted as IFDB, it's first episode released in September 2016.

I'm not going to go into much detail of IFDB so far. But from what I've seen, it definitely looks promising. The creators at the moment are on an intentional hiatus as of the day this review was published, and the creators are at the moment finding a way to bring us an IFDB episode every week in the future. Which in my opinion, is pretty exciting.
