Welcome to the Wayne

I find this a pretty good show, but thanks to the people who keep telling Nickelodeon this is a "Gravity Falls ripoff", they cancelled the show right then and there. TELL ME WHAT MAKES THIS A DAMN GRAVITY FALLS RIPOFF. The only thing that makes these shows "alike" are the fact they are mystery shows. But let me tell you something: There's a show on Netflix called "Hilda" which is also a mystery show, yet it doesn't get called a Gravity Falls ripoff. So to you people, Welcome to the Wayne is a Gravity Falls ripoff, yet Hilda isn't. But let's move on the the actual show now. I really loved this show, and it got cancelled way too soon. I was really looking forward to new episodes just to realize it got cancelled. So I rate this a 9/10.

A co-worker knew I liked Gravity Falls and told me to look into a new series called "Welcome to the Wayne".

So watching a few episodes, it's not really my cup of tea. To begin with, the TV series starts off right from the mini series and as a result, there's missing information you would otherwise need to know to understand some of the stuff they are talking about.

Ignoring that, the animation is fine, the voice actors are fine. There's no complaint there. What is a complaint is the fact the show doesn't feel like it has any sort of build up, since they really just throw all the information in your face right up front, so as far as a "mystery" cartoon goes, it's not very mysterious. It's more along the lines of Scooby Doo quality.

So when I was talking about Gravity Falls, there's two siblings in Welcome to the Wayne just like Gravity Falls. Their personalities are also similar in a lot of ways.

As a replacement for Gravity Falls it fails on all fronts.

Gravity Falls was an amazing series. When it ended back in February 2016, we weren't sure what could come after Gravity Falls. But back in 2014, Nickelodeon released a webseries titled Welcome to the Wayne, which to all who watched seemed like it was inspired by Gravity Falls. It was then greenlit because of its success. Thus comes July 24, 2017, when the full length TV version of the webseries premiered after The Loud House at 5:30 PM EST. So enough talking, here's my WttW review.

WttW is about a kid named Ansi Molina who just moved into an apartment building called The Wayne. He joins Olly and Saraline Timbers on crazy adventures as he is part of Team Timbers. So far the week has been big on Nickelodeon, as they premiered the first 5 episodes of the series. What do I think about it? Well to start, the synopsis of the series is just a typical synopsis, it's not really original and kinda outdated. But what do I think about the episodes? Recently I've been busy at 5:30 PM EST, with cleaning the kitchen after dinner or eating dinner at that exact time. So haven't gotten caught up yet. But as far as I know, the episodes have been well-received. What do I think of the style? To begin, the animation style. It looks a little like Rick and Morty's animated style, but without the weird-shaped eyeballs. It's really colorful and pretty basic and simple. What do I think of the voice acting and the actors? Before I say anything about that, I had NO idea WHATSOEVER that a woman voices Ansi. Great job, guys, keep it up! Is it better than 2009-March 2015? Definitely. How do I rate it? I give it a 9/10. It's not the best ever on Nickelodeon, but it's better to give us high hopes on the future of Nickelodeon.

Welcome to the Wayne has already proved itself to be a great show within its first week on TV. It has everything you could want in a show; witty humor, endearing characters, and mystery! It's sad that many people just dismiss it as "A Gravity Falls rip-off," when it's its own show. Sure, it clearly has a mystery element, like Gravity Falls, but both are different in terms of humor and characters. The only major drawback of this show is that the main characters are rather unpleasant to look at, but the monsters are very well drawn and match the whimsical theme of the show. If you liked Gravity Falls, I can assure you that you'll like Welcome to the Wayne.

Nickelodeon seems to be getting better and better, and i'm loving it! This show started out as a 2014 6 episode mini-series on Nick, and I wasn't to impressed, but once I saw promos for this show, I was hyped! It has great characters, animation, and the hotel they live in is crawling with mystery. The one thing I ain't really liking is how they threw the mystery right in our faces in episode one, but that's nothing major. If you want a light-hearted mystery show, then this show is for you! (take note Cartoon Network) :p
