Unicornio: Los guerreros eternos

Unlike MANY of the shows that Genndy Tartakovsky had some part in this unicorn: warriors eternal, is taking longer for me to warm up to, i am only on episode 4, but so far i am NOT very impressed, i am willing to give it more time and am hoping it will get better.

The steam punk theme is interesting and i must admit intriguing but the main characters are a bit flat and the advertisements that came out introducing the show gave away the villain.

The art is good a lot like samurai jack and the back ground characters are some times more interesting than the main characters, the back ground characters supply SOME humor and color all the while being placed in danger to supply the suspense, what little there is of it.

Its about these magical warriors that lived long ago and they fight evil. This show takes place years later in 1890's England. This robot is going to certian people and balsting them with the spirit of those warrtoirs so the warriors can be reincarnated. Its a fun show. The art style is gerogous. The backgrougs look phenomical. The character designs are reminicent of Popeye. Which makes since because the creator loves Popeye and worked on a canceled Popeye movie for Sony. The characters so far are Malinda who was a princess but was turned into a witch. She can fly and can make magical blasts when she gets emotional. Capernicous the robot,Sung a cosmic monic who can fly. His head is litterally in the clouds, and Eldreid a warrior elf. Even though this show comes on adult swim now its a family friendly show.

I have so far seen 4 episodes.

The best thing about it right now is the animation and an interesting premise for the story.

The Character design reminds me of old cartoons like Betty Boop and Pinocchio, the backgrounds are really well done and the animation is smooth. The story is about a reincarnating trio of heroes where you follow their latest reincarnation which seems interesting.

And now for the bad parts.

The pacing is really weird. Some parts of the episodes seems drawn out just for everything to happen really fast later. And my biggest disappoinment right now is the lackluster voice acting a lot of the time. The character can show rage with their facial expression and body language but the voice can be a normal speaking voice, it just takes away from the experience too much for me.

I will continue to watch for now but will stop if it gets worse.

Update: I have now watched the whole first season and it get better towards the end.

The art, themes, and pacing of the story really keep you off your feet. Eyes glued to the screen capturing every detail as it goes from moment to moment. An amazingly fun universe with characters that could start a franchise along its hoped 4 season run.

The world is a uniquely rich genre setting that has never been told before, and so cohesively. The attention and dedication given to the show is clearly seen by the amount of effort made that has made rewatching the same season and experiencing new details every time widening any understanding of story. It shows how well written, thought, and blocked out it was.

The dynamics of characters were highly enjoyable, though even thr characters alone with their sole motivations are appealing on their own. The world is so engaging and an irrepetably unique experience. Also the it has its cute comidic moments.

The master Tartakovsky brings us his pure passion project - two decades in the making - and it definitely has the unmistakable hallmarks of this sort of thing: richly complex lore and wildly unfocussed tone. The style here is idiosyncratic and fascinating, a Fleischeresque 30s fluidity that is more Boop than Jack, which takes some getting used to but is utterly captivating. As such it ends up this strange mash of melodrama and pure cartoonishness. It's sort of... deeply uncool, but I dig it. Whether we get the full four season vision when even die hard fans aren't that taken with it we'll see but I'd love to see the whole story!
