Chicago Party Aunt

Embraced the value of family and friends. Relatable storyline and smooth progression. Big fan of the bright tone-ish setup for an adult animation. Reminds me of family guy and many other sitcoms.

This sitcom is really good. Literally every episodes made me burst out laughing. Great episodial plotting, that was a bit relatable but made in the extremely dramatic way. Great voice castings and clean characters design. Few glimpses of action, dark humour, romances but entirely packed with adult comedies. Amazing dialogues/writtings and the intro track was pretty dope too.

Each episode runs about 20 to 30 minutes, which wasnt enough for me tbh. Binge watched the whole season in a day. Very addictive and highly recommended to adults. This is totally not for childrens.

I expressed disdain at the show when it was announced, mainly for being based on a Twitter gimmick account (yes, really) and for having that samey adult animation style. I finally watched it, and it's surprisingly not bad.

I'm not from Chicago, so take my opinions here with a grain of salt.

Voice Acting - 2/2. You can't go wrong with Lauren Ash. I loved her as Scorpia in She-Ra, and she brings a lot of life to Diane.

Characters - 1/2. Diane is a hard-drinking, partying hedonist with a disheveled lifestyle. When her nephew comes to live with her, the show sets up an arc about learning to care for others. Pretty interesting.

Writing - 1/2. Again, you'll only really appreciate it if you're from Chicago yourself.

Animation - 1/2. Yet another show with the generic adult animation art style. Like with The Harper House, you could make this into a live action sitcom and nothing would change.

Music - 1/2. The rock soundtrack is great, but it's another victim of the lack of a theme song and a generic title card intro.

Diana showed us that she does have a heart and will do anything in her power to set things right for them. I'm also dead serious that this should replace The Mighty B on Nick rewind. Cause this show is an underrated classic. The Mighty B (pleas do not get offended by what I'm going to call it, it's true anyways) is a short-lived critical and commercial failure. Diana is everything Bessie should've been.

Man, you would not BELIEVE the amount of backlash this show got when it was first announced. When the first images of the show were released online, people VERY quickly attacked this show for (aside from this being based off of a Twitter account) being a "generic adult animated comedy", which I always hated the stereotype of. The stereotype that "all adult cartoons look the same" and that "Family Guy is to blame for the downfall of modern adult animation", which is NOT true, by the way. There are plenty of good adult cartoons out there, you guys just aren't looking hard enough. And yes, adult toons with "that" art-style can be really funny at times (i.e. Disenchantment, Duncanville, Final Space etc.). Come on, guys. Be fair for once.

Oh, and about Chicago Party Aunt. It's alright. It's not amazing but it occasionally has its moment or 2. There's not really that more to say about it. 6.7/10.

If you're not familiar with the cultural references (and stereotypes), it may not be very funny. But if you get them, it's pretty damn funny and there are a LOT of them. Quite creative, really.
