Bunsen Is a Beast

When I first saw this episode, I had me interested and I did enjoy the pilot. But the episodes after that usually ranged from average to awful with few good ones. I quite like the characters but there was a lack of development although this show only lasted for one season. The animation does look cheap which is a shame since I really like flash animation style and can be wonderful to look at when done right, I feel a lot of the stories have potential but are never used in that way. This show had potential but was held back by the writing team and subpar animation.

The animation is pretty bad flash compared to other shows like My Little Pony and Star Vs the Forces of Evil.

The Voice Acting is not the best. I don't blame the actors since they're pretty good names like Jeff Bennett and Kari Wahlgren. It's a shame that every voice in the show is incredibly annoying to listen to.

The Stories have really poor flow. Just point A to B with no character development. Just seems like they're trying to tell jokes but they fall flat.

The humor style is Hartman's but not at his peak. None of the jokes work and with all the voices being annoying it makes them missing stick out more.

The characters are pretty bland and with no proper introduction. Shows like Littlest Pet Shop and most other shows introduce the characters in some way via song or something. Give us a reason to care.

This show sucks big time, butch hartman created a great shows like fairly odd parents,danny phantom and many more, even today nickelodeon has a decent shows like The Loud House, the new spongebob(from season 10, even that is not great as the old seasons), Robot and Monster, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and many more from the 2010s in the other hand, there are new awful shows on nick like this show, Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty that is even worst that this,ALVINNN!!! and the Chipmunks that is less awful but still bad, Breadwinners is awful but less than this, Sanjay and Craig again less awful but still very bad. nickelodeon need to get back with great shows and return many great shows that cancelled, there are so much that i can't say all of them now they have only spongebob that the new seasons less good that the previous seasons , The Loud House if fine but the rest is bad. i expect the new movie of spongebob very much it looks very good at least in the description of the film.

This show is pretty good, but I do think it could've been a bit better. I do really like the two main characters, Bunsen and Mikey, as they are funny and always look out for each other. However there are some issues here.

The main villain is very cliche and she also doesn't really have a reason to be evil other than because she can. Also, while the voices do fit the characters, they get very loud and annoying at times. Some of the jokes are too random and ridiculous. Random does not equal funny. However, there are still good jokes here. The animation also isn't the best, but Flash/digital animation is the new standard at this point, so no point in complaining over it.

Those are the flaws, but here are some of the good things. A good thing about this show is that it doesn't have a lot of gross out humor like some other Nicktoons in the past. (eg. Sanjay and Craig, Breadwinners, Fanboy and Chum Chum) Like I stated above, I really like Bunsen and Mikey as characters. The plot is good, with the villain wanting to get rid of the titular character for being a beast and not a human, and I like that this show teaches kids a good lesson about including others, even if they are different.

I don't really understand why this show was canceled after only one season? I didn't watch this show until recent but it was pulling pretty good views when it first released.

What could've been better: get rid of the random and loud jokes, make the villain have a better reason for being evil, and polish the animation a bit.

Overall, 7/10, this show is pretty good, I think all the good outweighs the bad, and you should definitely give this show a shot.

Bunsen Is A Beast was such a great show i don't understand why this amazing show got cancelled on february 10th 2018 it was created by Butch Hartman. Why is so many people treating this show like it's worse than covid-19.
