Blame! (2003)
Great supplement to the manga
This is not much of a series on its own - merely a series of short episodes adapting random parts of the original manga series, BLAME!
In doing so, it adds the atmosphere and pacing that one should hope to imagine whilst reading the printed work, and I think that it is done wonderfully.
The drawings are carry a cartoonish style, but detailed enough to convey the intricate nature of the environment. The use of colours, which were of course not a part of the original, black-and-white graphic novel, makes the different episodes and the surroundings they depict distinct, shading the image in unnatural lighting that frankly makes it surreal.
The sound... well, I would say that it is exactly as one would expect, and wonderfully done.
In summary, I think that this is a great series, but definitely not for those unfamiliar with the source material.
Xavier: Renegade Angel (2007)
Genius.
The show blends stupid humour with extremely witty wordplay. The insane progression of the plots and the jokes making fun of stereotypes make the viewer question might make the viewer wonder if the creators have ever been a part of society.
The show does contain various themes and even messages, though these are hidden beneath thick layers of never-ending (really funny) jokes.
The ultimate message of the show is "Don't overthink it!", which gives it a supreme, post-modern irony.
I recommend at least becoming familiar with this show to everyone.
My Magic Pet Morphle (2019)
Cheap and unintresting
Most assets are reused on an episode-to-episode basis, the animation is on the level of someone who is familiar with Flash but does not know how an animation should look. Although simple plots are to be expected of this kind of show, no credit can be given for this show's writing - there is little in terms of morals, beyond "Doing bad things is bad and gets you punished", and it gives off the feeling that there is no professional writer working on the show at all.
Overall, there is nothing to make this show "bad for your kids", but don't watch it if anything better is at hand.
