Everyone has something they can’t stop themselves from nerding out over - but often it’s hard to find people to talk to about it. So go ahead, share your interests, and tell us about them!

    I’m super excited for Lackadaisy too - the pilot is of such amazing quality, even some major established shows don’t match it. I also loved Bee and Puppycat, and Hilda, really whimsical. Also loooooved OK KO. Have you watched Wander Over Yonder, or Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart? I feel the humour is very similar. Another couple of shows that were cut too short (at least the former provides some closure).

    I have to say Infinity train doesn’t get any less brutal, and I definitely get missing Lake. Still think it’s worth watching the next seasons as there’s some continuity in the story (which HBO should let them finish dammit).

    To be fair I really got into animation shows (as opposed to movies) around the time of the pandemic, so I missed most of the pilots. I am excited to see what happens with Hazbin Hotel, and other online projects like Talon, and Hugo’s Mind Palace. If you haven’t yet, I really recommend watching the shorts on the Gobelins school animation page. Some of them are mind-blowingly amazing.

    If I were to ask which are your top 5 shows, would you be able to pick?

      I haven’t been able to get into Wander Over Yonder, but I want to give it another try. I have seen the “bad guy” song… A lot. It’s very catchy, and goodness did the animators have some fun. I also saw the pilot for Mao Mao, definitely gonna put it on my list.

      It’s crazy that Infinity Train was so popular and they still don’t want to give it the time of day. It’s how animation has been treated for a long time, though.

      Top 5 is tough, I think in no particular order:

      • Powerpuff Girls
      • Avatar/Legend of Korra
      • Steven Universe
      • Bee and Puppycat
      • Courage the Cowardly Dog

      There’s so many I want to squeeze in there though!

      How about you? I’m honestly glad to talk to a new watcher, some long time fans can be weirdly dismissive of new stuff and it’s pretty frustrating.
