Lastman

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.

Let's get rid of the "negative" first. Lastman suffers a bit from the budget and production issues, and some parts are not as well animated as the rest. There you go, that's it.

You don't need to be a fan of the books to get the series, erveything's pretty clear. While straightforward, the story's strong and you'll be caught in the character's lives quite easily.

The humor is quite dirty but strikes really hard especially the whole 2015 french attacks reference episode. Wuat a scud. The random sex and fights serves the show's universe, whether some people like it or not. One could also argue female characters suffer a lot. While that's true, they also have a central role and i challenge you to call Tomie weak.

In the end, more than "a boxer vs demons", it's really the story of normal people versus the horros of the world, either human or supernatural. The animation is overall really solid too. This kind of shows need more support.

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.

This show is one of the few western animated series that I consider a competition to Avatar.

Lastman and Avatar are shows that you could probably show to an anime fan or to a person who only watches live action media and they could get into it and even have it at the top of their list

This show is just so fun and engaging that I can't do it justice with this review

Just go watch it.

Lastman is one of those series that juggles different themes and even genres that might feel strange "on paper" but the creators knew exactly what they were doing.

Blending the type of noir storytelling with the action of the 90´s while adding mistery and fantasy, it´s on a league of it´s own and it is very refreshing. Backed with an excellent direction, animation, soundtrack, everything just works effortlessly to deliver a great adventure filled with just the right amount of character development, action and entertainment.

The show can be light hearted but knows how and when to be serious enough for you to feel engaged and deals with themes that are intended for a mature audience, while clocking at 8 mins per ep.
