Exploding Kittens

I've seen some negative reviews of this show that I don't really agree with. The humour is not the most original or deep but it still works. The reason why I want to see this get higher reviews is that it's the first direct to steaming adult cartoon I have seen in a long time that actually cares about the animation. It has its own look, unique character designs ,fluidity, colour, all the things that Netflix animation has lacked few years. And they haven't fill that with celebrity voiceovers which is a big Plus it's been a long last time since I saw a cartoon that used professional voice actors and I think it makes a difference.

What's great about other Oatmeal's art is its cute sarcasm: it's sharp and unforgiving, yet kinda lovable. Even monster babies are adorable, in their own disgusting way - but it's still delivering the point, like "cats rules, babies suck", and the like.

Here, the cuteness of the characters is all there - the art style of the drawings is transitioned into the animation quite impeccably: everything looks ugly and beautiful at the same time. The voice acting is a good match, too - mostly, anyway. But the sarcasm is severely lacking.

It's just too nice.

Don't get me wrong, there still are fairly sharp jokes and puns and some sarcastic attitude (like the fair part of the SeaWorld episode), but the whole premise of God being selfish jerk is lost pretty much in episode 1, and the evil is pretty much never materialises at any point. And all the family values...

Too nice.

Perhaps the mere fact that my low expectations were so widely exceeded OR.. or... And bear with me now (is it 'bear' or 'bare'? ).. OR perhaps it's just REALLY GOOD (cause it IS), but I'm loving this! And for the official record, my pedigree in western animation is substantial (don't tell anyone but I actually watch em all, which for a middle aged white guy, is sad?) but, ya this is solid 100 percent worth your time! Animation 9 voice acting 9 Story 9 (so why did I give it an 8? Lol, cause for me 9s are 10s and I reserve 10s for the all time like an Attenborough documentary or Rick and Morty, sooo...)

Are you people expecting perfection every time you watch a show or movie? So many negative reviews and 1 star ratings. Really? You think this show is as bad as could possibly be? That's what the one implies.

The show is exactly what it advertised, a silly cartoon with decent jokes based of a admittedly meh card game. I personally like the relationship between GC and DC. The family is not exactly new or unique, but they stick to their cliche roles and do it well. Chill out, lower your standards and have a little fun. If all you ever expect is the best then you will be constantly disappointed. Thanks for reading.

First of all I will say, I didn't know it was a game but I just loved this!!! Tom Ellis' voice made this for me, knew it immediately and great casting! I'm surprised at the low ratings and I think it should be all 10's. I definitely lol'd throughout and actually binged it, went right through and enjoyed every single minute. I recommend this to everyone I know, especially cat lovers. I agree with one reviewer who said everyone needs to relax and chill out! This was never meant to win an Oscar, it's just pure comedic entertainment. Although I think I'm going to rewatch Lucifer again! Need me some Tom Ellis.
