Kid Cosmic

A show that carries the quintessential "McCracken" charm that generally permeates through all his work. Loveable, appealing characters who receive solid development through the series. Deliberately unique and charming art style that looks straight out of a comic book. Deeply emotional and wholesome moments, good action scenes, all tied together by an intergalactic plotline (a personal weakness of mine).

Sufficed to say, Netflix did not give this show the fair promotion it deserved and sort of huddled it away once it was completed. In any case, if you love any of CMC's work, you'll adore this.

This is a show of a kid named... kid (mean parents huh) who goes on adventures. He pretends he is a super hero but then he find ACTUAL SPACE ROCKS FROM SPACE witch he calls cosmic rings. Then he goes on to make a team and blah blah and all that good jazz. I dont want to spoil the show cus well. IT WAS FROM GOD HIMSELF!!!! THIS IS IN THE CATEGORY OF BUDDY THUNDERSTRUCK AND STRANGER THINGS CUS HOLY HELL THIS IS GOOD!!! So yeah... watch.. OR U GONNA PAY!!! (with your life)

Netflix knows its animation. For me, The Dragon Prince and Kid Cosmic are 10 for 10. Kid Cosmic is near and dear to my heart also because its animation style and its overall visuality is a refreshingly original one in today's animation landscape. It's wacky and cute.

Yes, the Kid is cringy, and he shouts a lot. But that's exactly because he is what he is. And he grows a lot by the end of the first season. He is totally relatable, because as Stuck Chuck put it ever so succintly, he "sucks" at being a superhero. But what he lacks in ability he more than makes up in heart.

But this is an ensemble show if there ever was one, and all the characters are good to great. My personal favourites? Stuck Chuck (absolutely hilarious, especially his Hungarian dub who adds yet another layer to his obstrusiveness), and of course, Tuna Sandwich.

And finally, about the storyline... It's hardly original, but it's really good, and the twists and turns in the last 3 episodes would fit a serious scifi series, too.

Crain McCracken did it again. BRING ON SEASON TWO!

I love this series and so does my 4 year old son. Noire yet modern and such great animation. Music is hyper but the messages are great for kids. "Freaking out, breath it out." We say this to our son and he actually does it. I enjoyed this as much as he did. What a treat.

Fun story and great pacing, it has some ups and downs on quality of episodes, seemingly rushed, but it's much more than it's sum of its parts. Very excited for the next season.
