I am going to be straight up and say that when you hear any name with the word "unicorn" in it, all I can think of is barbie dolls. But maybe Gendy is going to change that because the premise of this show is pretty interesting.
A group of characters that fight evil spirits/creatures in different time periods. What I kind of liked about it is that at the beginning of the show we see different time periods so that provides a great premise for episodes in different timelines.
About the characters and design we can see Gendy's trademark: robots who act like but don't look like humans (which I completely agree with, pass the Turring test without looking like Jennifer Lawrence, you rust buckets!), a magic sword wielding warrior (Samurai Jack), a black magic using witch (Ashi, Raven inspired) and a warrior monk (Primal).
All of this sounds pretty great.
They put pretty much in one episode!
The one thing I don't like so much is the animation style for the characters. Yeah, I understand it is inspired from by Popey or old school animation, it doesn't mean that I like it. I personally really liked Sym-Biotic Titan character animation which is basically cheaper Samurai Jack, but oh well maybe it will grow on me.
I will say this: this animation is the opposite of Sym-Biotic Titan style. That style was meant to evoke emotion in Samurai Jack style. This one is made to evoke emotion to pure old school animation. Everything looks hand drawn which is likely not the case. So that is pretty great.
