Centaurworld

This show is very 2012 cartoon network. It pushes the boundaries of goofy/weird but still has incredible heart at the core of the plot. Not everyone's going to enjoy it or "get it", heck I went in expecting the worst from the trailer, but it ABSOLUTELY succeeds what it set out to and those who enjoy this genre will love it.

It's absurd and silly for much of the show while simultaneously delivering consistent and recurring moments of beautiful raw emotional intensity...from a horse and a llama... This ungulate driven show has absolutely no business possessing the degree of song and vocal quality it has, but it does so unabashedly and to great effect. We never know what to expect, but it's certainly never boring in its zany, charming, and albeit sometimes inappropriate, humor and dialogue. Fun, wacky, emotional and brilliantly musical; I loved everything it (almost literally) threw at me and will eagerly await season 2.

Everything about this show is very very good.

The animation is fantastic. The voices are great. The singing ranges from good to amazing.

What brings it down slightly is the story being a bit predictable and the over the top zaniness making it sometimes more "WTF?" than lol.

Be warned though. If you don't like cartoons with occasional songs, like MLP etc, this cartoon has tons of songs. Some lyrics are great and it works well, other lyrics are... Well.. serviceable..

Did not expect this to be a musical, however I was pleasantly surprised with the music. The story itself is also very good and offers some thoughtful themes and ideas. It is quite similar to the likes of Adventure Time in a good way. The odd blend of humor and serious atmosphere might not be for everybody, but I massively enjoyed it.

I will admit, the centaur characters were at times a bit ~much~ but Horse is an interesting protagonist and I really liked the greater mystery/theming behind the show.

The animation is very fun and mobile and I like the heavy contrast between the more silly aspects and the serious gritty stuff not only in tone but also music and visuals.

This show is a ride. It suddenly goes from the themes of war to your ordinary rainbow coloured cast of characters just singing, dancing with some magic spells here and there. But somehow it just all ties together so well! It's an absolute delight and I hope that Season 2 is even better.
