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.

A great and humorous show, just unfortunately thrown on the market at a bad time.

It's not even advertised, other comments are right, it's quickly forgotten, not because of its quality but rather because Netflix doesn't care about it.

A series in the shadow of another series spurred on by the name Alex Hirsch.

Nothing against Inside Job, I love that show, I just wish one of them would have been launched at a different time. :/

This show made the mistake of starting out with the worst episode. I felt no need to continue, but my animal-loving girlfriend enjoyed it so we watched a few more. As the show continues, it gets more enjoyable for sure. The characters are actually pretty likable and there's still plenty of funny jokes left amongst quite a few misses. I liked the chaotic pace of the show, constantly changing scenery, and the animal facts make it just a tiny bit educational. The artstyle and voice work is very decent, making this a fun watch in my book.

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.

As a one time field zoologist, I can say that this definitely has some relatable moments...the actually accurate zoological facts inserted are fun, too. Sadly, I feel that it probably does not have the storyline potential to see more than one season, and it will probably appeal to a less than large audience.
