Adventure Beast

Once I read up on the "real" man behind the main lead of the show it makes a little more sense but it needs a better identity. It's too adult for kids, yet too childish for adults. It tries to clumsily throw in facts about obscure animals (which I can't tell if they're real or not) while the characters find themselves in precarious situations in each of the short 15 min episodes. I want to like it, it's just not there yet. 5.5/10.

I laugh at everything so im not good at critiquing humour but the animal fact side of this show is very entertaining, another review said its too childish for adults but i love childish things so i guess im the target audience LOL.

I loved this reminds me of shows I watched as a kid but just tweaked for adults. Reminds me of after school cartoons I get it's not adult cartoon in the way people are used too but I think this does it well plus I really enjoy the animal facts.

Each episode has a loose plot in a different part of the world and focuses on a particular trait in nature. The plot acts as a showcase for various nature facts. As an ecology dork, I had fun trying to guess what he was going to say, and learned along the way.

I wouldn't call it hilarious but when I laughed it was a proper snort that caught me by surprise.

The animation on the humans seems a bit.. off, especially Bonnie. But I can't put my finger on why so I didn't think it was fair to dock any points for that. The animation of the animals is much better, so I would guess they used animators more skilled at movement than facial expressions. The effect can be a bit off putting but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It's not like anything else around at the moment - it reminds me a bit of the Wild Thornberries from the 90s.

The concept of adult educational animation intrigued me. The style gave me Gravity Falls vibes, so I'm thinking maybe the comedy's written toward teens but with tongue-in-cheek jokes for the adults.

Boy was I wrong. The comedy's more along the line of Bojack Horseman with a mix of naive charm and raunchy jokes. But what I liked most of all was actually the educational part of it - it feels like the tour guide removed the vanilla fluff and was like "I'm gonna level with you, some of this stuff is kinda dirty" but I love the honesty of it all.

Great performances from all the actors especially Danice Cabanela - always great to see/hear actors of color without their identity being used as a plot device.
