I'd rate this a 6.4/10 if I could. Ok, so LS Mark, the creator of the series, said the target demographic for this was 12-18, and that the characters were around 12-18. So i'm the target demographic for this show, what do I think about it? Well.. It's ironic that this pilot is just decent considering LS Mark is a cartoon reviewer. So, the characters. The characters are fine, I guess. Clay is socially awkward and introverted, so that makes him everyones spirit animal on the internet apparently. But honestly, he's just mid to me. I do hate him, but I don't see why people keep considering him a good character. Rob, he's also socially awkward, but he's extroverted. And he's worse than Clay. He's kind of annoying and a little bland to me personally. So, now on to the first episode. It's really just a dose of decent. Around 54% of the jokes are funny, with everything else just falling flat to me. The idea of, idk 13 year olds, going to a club is not all THAT interesting imo. The art style is good, not my type, but still good. And the animation looks good, although it looks like most Toon Boom/Adobe Flash shows do: Animated on 2s, thick lines, and characters having the came walk cycles. It's alright though, because I use Adobe Flash too. Anyway, Catching Up is alright. It's not mediocre, but it's not good. However, it was probably written when LS Mark was around 18, so i'll cut him some slack. But otherwise, 6/10. If episode 2 comes out and is better than the first, just skip this pilot episode.
