Magical Girl Friendship Squad

Painfully bad is a huge understatement, most likely (and dear lord hopefully) the worst cartoon of the decade

Not funny or clever. More than anything it's preachy and unappealing to anyone that's not "woke"

This show seems like it was going for the same approach as Panty and Stocking a la Sailor Moon. We got one hero using birth control and another who happens to be a lesbian stoner. I mean, she has to be a stoner, look at her design. The main issue is that they tried too hard to pander to the progressives, precisely with the villains in some episodes. If you want to make your original works inspired by anime succeed, take my advice, and don't shoehorn your ideologies into your work, to where it feels like you're forcing us to adopt these same ideologies.

This little show premiered last night on Syfy. I saw the first episode, it was an interesting start. The show is a huge parody of magical girl shows like Sailor Moon. The best way to describe the show is that it is Tuca and Bertie combined with Sailor Moon. The art style is adorable and reminds me of Craig of the Creek, and the writing is hilariously funny. Alex and Daisy have a great dynamic with each other, and the show is highly empowering and relatable to millennials. I hope to see more episodes soon since the lore seems interesting. This, Final Space, Tuca and Bertie, Primal, Bob's Burgers, Duncanville, Close Enough, and Central Park are my favorite modern adult cartoons.

I really tried... but what... what are we doing here? Phoning in pop culture jokes that will age like 3 day old yak milk? Making characters that are supposed to appeal to a specific demographic while also making them as bland as possible? This is a shining example of 'edgy cartoon by boardroom'. There are better ways to waste your time, trust me.
