Helluva Boss

The animation is probably the best I've ever seen from a cartoon, and it makes it even more interesting because it's independent, this is a great recommend watch. The animation industry has been going through so much these days. You have the news that the MCU is overworking, they're animators. Do you have the news that the owl house is getting cancelled. And the fact that animation is struggling so much means that we should at least give props to the independent animation because they are making animations that would've never been made if they were under a TV network and I generally want you all to support shows like.

Helluva Boss is the type of show every adult animation should aspire to be. It doesn't rely on cheap laughs and shock humor like Family Guy and South Park. The writing goes into humor mixed with extensive backstories, lore, and character development. Far different from many adult cartoons.

The voice acting is just amazing. Broadway stars like Alex Brightman, Barrett Wilbert Weed, and Bryce Pinkham, mixed with VA veterans like Cristina Vee, Erica Lindbeck, and Richard Horvitz is a recipe for success. Seriously I couldn't tell that Octavia was voiced by Barrett.

And the animation flows like water it's that good. All of this was done by independent animators who got their careers started through Youtube. Yes I'm serious, this show was done by independent animators no big studios were involved in making this at all.

Everything is just so well done I'm surprised that this is just a youtube show. It's really that good.

"Helluva Boss" is a great show for what it is. It is completely free to watch on YouTube and has animation on par and even better than most modern adult animations. The characters are all very easy to like, despite most of them being horrible people. It is a fun and original show that I feel deserves more acknowledgement. The only minor complaint I have is the somewhat formulaic episode structure and the long waiting period between the episodes. Otherwise it is a great show deserving of praise.

My spouse loves this show, but it's really not my cup of tea.

Creative world-building, but the shows attempts to strike a range of emotions with its audience through music, humor, emotion, action. It can often be a hit-or-miss.

The plot feels a bit scattered with each episode contributing little to an overall plot. I don't see much character development & don't feel connected to the characters.

The humor isn't too clever and seems to heavily rely on comments being as vulgar/sexual as possible. Which becomes predictable and lackluster within a few episodes.

Ultimately, I think it's worth checking out the 1st episode. But there's no need to keep watching if it doesn't capture your interest from there.

Ever since the pilot episode first aired on YouTube, I was already very interested on this Vivziepop (Vivienne Medrano) creation. When I found out about Vivzie's work, it was something new and inventive than the usual adult-oriented comedy shows that air on TV.

Enter Blitzo (the O is silent), who opens an assassination business called Immediate Murder Professionals (or I. M. P.) for demons and the damned who were wronged in life on Earth. With the assistance of his fellow imps Moxxie, Millie, and hellhound Loona, they take on one target after another to please their clients.

With a talented voice cast featuring the likes of Brandon Rogers, Richard Horvitz (of Invader Zim fame), and Erica Lindbeck, there's bound to be frequent crude and sexual content their characters entail along with so much bloody violence and vulgar language to boot. Although the crew of IMP try to get the job done in their assassination work, it doesn't come without some humorous setbacks. Not to mention that some episodes tend to go deep in character development as well as story.

Judging by the unique characters, designs, and adult humor, I see the formula this way:

Panty & Stocking + Invader Zim + South Park = Helluva Boss

Though definitely not for little kids - despite some of the studio's early work being kid-friendly - Vivziepop is really expanding on this world she has created and I can tell there's no stopping her.
