Mighty Magiswords

Wow. Just WOW. Really, Cartoon Network? This is the best you could come up with? You know how Teen Titans Go's ultra fast pacing was annoying? Turn that up five or six notches, and you have Mighty Magiswords.

Who's idea was this? The concept gets old and limited within three episodes. Different swords? They don't appear to be doing anything eventful with it except random clichés.

The two characters are one-note and obnoxious. Like Fanboy and Chum Chum obnoxious. And my GOD are they dumb.

The "humor" (emphasis on quotations) is a forced pun or one-liner ever second. Literally every second.

Boy CN, once Regular Show, Gumball, and Adventure Time end, you're royally screwed. Nickelodeon has a new juggernaut in The Loud House and you have this pile of garbage.

While the pacing can be a problem at times, the show's imaginative character designs, witty dialogue,fun stories, and AMAZING voice acting over-shadow any negatives that it may have. I'd also like to say that Flash animation and BAD animation are not the same thing, heck this show has some AMAZING action sequences despite their budget, as well as unlike a certain other popular CN show, they know how to shade their characters when needed.

But more than that, there is a nice underlying satire to this show that I can relate to, primarily in the characters of the main Warrior siblings and Witchy Simone. Prohyas and Vambre are the equivalent of the real world super collector, who at any chance they get throw money away on magiswords for their ever growing collection. Simone's relatable in a different way, trying to hone her magic expertise so she can get back to school, all funded by her job slinging slug burgers. Its fun, its relatable, its the next great show on Cartoon Network.

No spoilers since nothing ever happens or changes. I give this series, mostly Season 1, a 6/10 for a multitude of reasons, but essentially for just a few major ones that I'll list here: 1. The pacing was bad but had since improved (though really, it should've done that from the start); 2, The main duo, who you're stuck with for the entirety of the show are really not that special or unique other than looks, plot devices and gimmicks; 3, The Magiswords (which are the selling point of the show, mind you) are typically uneventful or exciting; and 4, Although the other characters (usually those from the Academy Shorts) show promise, they get shoved to the side in favor of the ones we're already used to seeing (with a few exceptions; Cattus and Simone for example). There are but a few genuinely good things to come out this, but because the show is so heavily flawed and nothing ever changes, it ultimately comes out as 50-episode filler. Season 2, however, is a lot more interesting than much of season 1 with it's own improvements, but unfortunately, I don't believe it is enough to recover from all of the past episodes we've already seen. If the show were to be rebooted, or perhaps given a continuation of some kind, I hope that the makers of it will consider the details to truly make it one of a kind ;). There is still potential in it, but at the rate it and it's fandom are going, I don't know if we'll ever get to see it or not.

Just horrible. Don't believe me? Just set your child down in front of your TV or tablet and see if they don't wander off to do something else. Cheap flash animation that looks jittery; like a computer from 2007 trying to load an actual flash cartoon, and the voice acting is okay, that seems to be its only good quality. The only people who seem to vigorously defend this are 30 year old man-children. Just horrible. Don't believe me?

This show has its ups and downs, but it's just... meh.

The reason in why I'm so in between about this show is that the the setting and premise good, the animation, but the pacing is too fast, the voice acting is horrible and some plots and and jokes just don't make any sense.

This shows' ups and downs blend into a strange genre of meh. It's not bad, but not good either. Maybe it's because of extraordinary animation, or fast pacing, but I'm not really into this show. It has managed to get a few chuckles out of me, but not a lot.

Eh, I guess this is better then the inexcusable, unbearable, unbelievable cringeworthy crap that is PPG Reboot and Teen Titans Go, but unfortunately not enough to save CN from its' decline in quality and creativity. Hopefully Twelve Forever is greenlit or the Ben 10 reboot isn't as bad as nostalgia-blinded critics say it is.

Animation: 8.5/10 Plot: 5/10 Humor: 4/10 Voice Acting: 2/10 Overall: 5/10
