I have watched - All - Scooby-Doo since the early 70'ies. I have always enjoyed the rich animations with details as well as the quirky humor. I have not paid attention to the pre-rage over the new series, but I honestly understand it, having watched a few episodes of Be Cool, Scooby Doo...
The animation is just.. No. Sorry, but it's animation for 5 year old kids. There's few to absolutely no details in the animations. A lot of it feels like they haven't made any effort what so ever - an example of this would be shaggy's beard which is just... zig-zags. The voice acting from Velma is a complete turn off. It could not be less engaging and more "I'm reading a script from top to bottom". I'm not sure what Fred is supposed to look like and I'm not sure I actually want to know. He reminds me of Family Dad... That's not a good thing.
You can't have an animated series in which the animation puts off most people, the voice acting no better and still have a "decent" or "good" show as many like to claim. I am sorry, but popular animated series (and be cool, scooby doo is not one of them) relies on well- animated shots that are detailed with great voice-acting.
It's fairly obvious that both the Hanna-Barbera founders aren't around anymore because hot damn they would never have allowed for this incarnation to hit the light of day.
