Centaurworld (2021)
9/10
It definitely might surprise you
8 September 2021
This is one of those shows that definitely fits in the category of blowing your expectations out of the water. It's really hard to get into just exactly why I love this show without spoiling it, but I'll do my best to tell you instead who its best for.

If you love musicals, you'll love it. The songs are great, I actually find a lot of them to be true bangers and I listen to them regularly. The acting is supreme, and their singing is just as amazing.

If you enjoy a blend of wacky, unpredictable humor mixed with dark tones and serious themes, you'll enjoy this too! It takes time to guide the viewer between moments of endearing hilarity and more serious tones that really delve deeper into how certain characters work, or even better, how the worlds they live in tie together.

And most importantly, if you love cartoons, you'll love Centaurworld. The animation is flawlessly amazing, its bouncy and creative and never gets old. The expressions are hilariously fluid, nothing feels over-done or unnecessarily recycled, its all very fresh and beautiful.

This show is a sort of weird mix of My Little Pony, Adventure Time, Over the Garden Wall, and I've even heard some people compare some of its underlying darker themes to shows like Bojack Horseman. In general, it has a lot to offer, and very rarely feels like its wasting your time, even if not all of the jokes land. My only criticism is that I wish it had more gradual build-up and development of the characters as they lead towards the ending episodes, but we can only hope the magic and mystery continues in a second season!
