Jentry Chau contra O Submundo

Jentry Chau focuses on the titular character, a girl with pyrokinetic powers that accidentally awoke them as a child, burning her hometown. As they resurface on the eve of her 16th birthday - also the date powerful mogwai spirits want to eat her soul - she has to deal with the trauma of her past experiences, navigate her teenage life, and try to survive.

In other words, a perfect and largely original (barrig romantic clichés) Chinese urban fantasy series. It is a good introduction to Chinese mythology and its various supernatural entities, accompanied by a hip and kpop soundtrack and a pleasant, almost comic-book like animation style.

A solid reccomendation.

While I am not 100% done with this series (I just finished episode 9) I felt very compelled to write a review.

Right off the bat, the visual style of this show is really just awesome, the vibrant colors are so eye-catching and they add a lot of emotion to the settings and characters. The show's title sequence animation is especially fun to watch. The soundtrack is also great, and combined with the great visuals it makes for a really interesting aesthetic.

As for the story, from what I have seen so far, Jentry Chau vs. The Underworld is shaping up to be a very exciting show, full of action, mystery, and lots of drama. It is so captivating to watch Jentry fight off demons from the underworld as she slowly uncovers the truth about her fire powers, and her mysterious past.

The show has some really interesting characters and concepts, a lot of which draw inspiration from Chinese mythology. It also attempts to tackle some slightly more mature themes and topics, and manages to do so pretty well.

Even though the show does draw on some slightly overused tropes (*cough cough* love triangle) it still tries to be fresh and original. Which is always nice to see.

It feels like this series still has a lot of room to grow. I personally am really excited to see how this season ends and am holding out hope for a season two!

A breath of fresh air from the animated series that I have watched so far. It has a unique premise and is definitely entertaining at times that I have been preoccupied with other life matters while watching it. The characters are well-written, and the developments were really relatable to an Asian kid growing up. Everything went perfectly, to be honest, but it went downhill for me after episode 10 as the momentum and buildup were broken, leaving me thinking that it could've ended by episode 10 and the last 3 episodes could be continued for season 2 already. Either way, it was a fun ride with Jentry and the gang. Living for the KATSEYE crumbs as well as a deprived EYEKON! GOT YAH LIKE A MOTH TO THE FLAMEEEE! 🔥

This show most definitely worth your time. Every second of it is something you should most definitely take in and enjoy. A season 2 is something I really would want from this show higher reviews higher stars on imdb is equal to this show having a future and not having a fate of being cancelled please watch this show it's so good and is something again really worth your time give this show a 10/10 on imdb and let Netflix see the rating itself we could get a second season to expand on the world more besides everyone might need it... Sincerely from hazelbazel watch this show it's really good and amazing.

Please please please, make this show run for at least another couple of seasons😭

It's beautifully written, the animation is great and brings back nostalgia for the best 2000-2010s shows and the soundtrack is AMAZING! Everything ties together perfectly.

The comedy brings relief through tough moments and the drama is deep and not just shallow.

Ed (voiced by Bowen Yang) is such a genuinely funny character who not only brings the laughs and comfort but also drives the story in a special way.

Jentry is a very well constructed main character. Her arc and growth is very interesting to watch.

This show had me SEATED. Literally could not move without finding out what's going to happen next.

It reminded me of some of my other favorite shows like ATLA, w.i.t.c.h., Dead Boy Detectives, Naruto, and even Spider-Man (kind of).

It's a perfect mix of nostalgia for 2010s animated shows and a new, fresh perspective.
