Jentry Chau, une ado contre les démons

Jentry Chau focuses on the titular character, a girl with pyrokinetic powers that accidentally awoke them as a child, burning her hometown. As they resurface on the eve of her 16th birthday - also the date powerful mogwai spirits want to eat her soul - she has to deal with the trauma of her past experiences, navigate her teenage life, and try to survive.

In other words, a perfect and largely original (barrig romantic clichés) Chinese urban fantasy series. It is a good introduction to Chinese mythology and its various supernatural entities, accompanied by a hip and kpop soundtrack and a pleasant, almost comic-book like animation style.

A solid reccomendation.

Jentry Chau Vs The Underworld is not only the best show of the year, but one of the best shows l've ever seen. It is incredibly fun & action packed, gory, and amazingly animated. Ali Wong & Bohen Wang give the roles of their life, and the same goes to the cast.

I can't say this enough, I love the animation and how it looks. It's held in this specific aspect ratio the whole time, and it looks so theatrical and fluid. It is one of the best looking shows I've ever seen. Other than that, the culture on display, and how it adds to the story and worldbuilding is amazing. I love all the characters, and how the show even subverted some character traits later in the season. The emotional moments hit my soul, but it's also very funny and well written, with twist after twist after twist. The story shockingly always had a way to keep itself innovative.

A breath of fresh air from the animated series that I have watched so far. It has a unique premise and is definitely entertaining at times that I have been preoccupied with other life matters while watching it. The characters are well-written, and the developments were really relatable to an Asian kid growing up. Everything went perfectly, to be honest, but it went downhill for me after episode 10 as the momentum and buildup were broken, leaving me thinking that it could've ended by episode 10 and the last 3 episodes could be continued for season 2 already. Either way, it was a fun ride with Jentry and the gang. Living for the KATSEYE crumbs as well as a deprived EYEKON! GOT YAH LIKE A MOTH TO THE FLAMEEEE! 🔥

While I am not 100% done with this series (I just finished episode 9) I felt very compelled to write a review.

Right off the bat, the visual style of this show is really just awesome, the vibrant colors are so eye-catching and they add a lot of emotion to the settings and characters. The show's title sequence animation is especially fun to watch. The soundtrack is also great, and combined with the great visuals it makes for a really interesting aesthetic.

As for the story, from what I have seen so far, Jentry Chau vs. The Underworld is shaping up to be a very exciting show, full of action, mystery, and lots of drama. It is so captivating to watch Jentry fight off demons from the underworld as she slowly uncovers the truth about her fire powers, and her mysterious past.

The show has some really interesting characters and concepts, a lot of which draw inspiration from Chinese mythology. It also attempts to tackle some slightly more mature themes and topics, and manages to do so pretty well.

Even though the show does draw on some slightly overused tropes (*cough cough* love triangle) it still tries to be fresh and original. Which is always nice to see.

It feels like this series still has a lot of room to grow. I personally am really excited to see how this season ends and am holding out hope for a season two!

Netflix better keep this show going i'm already hooked and i need more episodes IMMEDIATELY!! I really love the art style and ofc my favourite is ed i mean bowens voice is just great for him this was so cool from start to finish and i really hope we get to see seasons of development. A show about a girl fighting demons and monsters isn't new, but it's about the presentation, and Jentry Chau vs the Underworld has a great presentation. Memorable characters, fantastic action-packed animation, and an amazing coming-of-age arc. Really recommend, should everyone watch this peak ! This is like a true successor to Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Dont cancel this Netflix!!
