Lastman

The Lastman series is a prequel set 10 years before the events of the comic. Developed and directed by Jérémie Périn, the show stands out thanks to his distinctive art direction and visual style, complemented by solid animation from Studio JSBC, stunning background art, and an absolutely superb soundtrack, especially the ending theme, 'Fire.' Lastman has a unique identity, making it undoubtably one of the best Western animated shows. Overall: 8/10:

the first season's story might seem somewhat generic, 26 episodes 10-minute long each, but it's full of charm, fun adventures, a memorable cast of characters, great monster designs, and engaging plot developments. The voice acting is good, though the show does suffer at times from weak writing and a one-dimensional villain. 7/10

in the second season, Lastman Heroes the format changes: 6 episodes 45 minutes long each (basiclly same lengthas 1st season), alowing for deeper character development and more eventful episodes. The writing improves significantly, and so do the art and animation. Overall, the second season is a major step up and ties in nicely with the comic series which will hopefully be adapted into a third season. 8.5/10

Recs post-viewing: Mars express (2023), scavengers' reign (2023), Dorohedoro (very minor similarities. Manga is recommended, the anime is also good), the Lastman comics of course.

The title pretty much sums it up. I really hope there will be a season 2. It is brilliant. There are moments of touching sensitivity, bumbling charm, and extreme violence. The animation and story feels fresh and original. The characters are investable and engaging. This is a pure gem.

A fantastic discovery! Never thought I would like this kind of movies. Especially after a few stupid and meaningless Japanese anime in this genre that I've came across a couple of times.

Excellent animation and design, touching background of heroes, exciting events and great story makes it very addictive.

I would recommend this to anyone who like fist fights and adventures. Maybe view of blood wouldn't be pleasant for someone, but it is quite appropriate.

This show is truly unique and special. The story is intriguing and the characters feel real. The english dub is not bad (though i would recommend watching it in french if you can) and the show never outstays its welcome with its short snappy episodes. The only issue with this series is that i ends with a cliff hanger but if your ready to read the lastman comics after the show then your really in for a treat.

Started our disjointed so you're forced to watch nearly 1/3 of the whole thing before things click into place. Somewhat. But then the whole worldbuilding starts to break. Main characters not acting cautiously enough allowing for the plot to move along. And Oh boy does it move. It stumbles forward like someone almost ready to fall down but just keep on putting one foot in front of the other a second before going down. Last third of the season definitely shows they didn't think pacing through and didn't count on how much story they need to cram into 27 episodes. Probably should have been 2 seasons.

Passable as an interesting animation experience. Though there's few people I'd recommend it to.
