Helluva Boss

"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.

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 was pretty hilarious short which in my opinion could work as a full series. Even though this is only a pilot the characters are great and the jokes are funny. I just they can turn this into a series.

A little warning all though it is animated this is not for young children.

Firsto off, I want to say that it is impressive that this series is entirely independent considering the quality of animation, voice acting, desings, and overall quality. I fully support this series and will continue watching it while valuing the effort behind its production. With that said, I think theres a lot that could be improved, mainly a lot of the jokes and the tone. The series is mostly episodical and tries to be funny at all times, and while some times they do achive this, its not the rule. There are some episodes and some scenes were there are some jokes that just feel out of place and not on time, while also depending a lot in swearing, blood, absurdity and shock. And Im all for it, its just that at one point it gets very repetitive and unfunny. Its the same with the violence and blood. Im perfectly fine with that and there is some very good implementation of these elements in some episodes, but just as the jokes, the fact that its very continuos makes it tiring, repetitive and it makes them to lose their impressiveness. Still a good and overall funny show, but that could be much better.

We didn't expect an animation this detailed from Vivziepop since Hazbin Hotel was released literally a few days before. This hit us by surprise. It is only a pilot, but it is amazing.

All of the main characters were likeable and I found the humor hit better with me from this show than Hazbin's humour did. I would probably say I ended up enjoying this a little more than Hazbin Hotel. I would recommend you check this out if you like dark humour. Stolas and Loona were two characters which make me chuckle uncontrollably, and Moxxie and Millie's relationship is so sweet! Definitely a pilot I would love to see be turned into a show!
