Close Enough

I'm going to be in the minority of reviewers (and viewers) here I think by not having seen Quintel's Regular Show. So it wasn't until Close Enough that I first encountered his blend of magical surralism wrapped in acute observation.

The format is basically that of a classical nineties kids' cartoon - a half-hour show cut into two separate narratives (with a few exceptions) this leaves it very little room to faff around and the dizzying speed at which each segment ramps up the strangeness is genuinely breathtaking. The cost of all this brevity means that the central cast can feel a little undefined but Close Enough admirably straddles a refreshing line between caricature and observation that doesn't feel too mean or judgemental.

As someone fairly close to Quintel's age myself it's strangely uncanny to see a television cartoon so precisely aimed at my generation - which no doubt will alienate many and date it severely in years to come but there's an oddly engrossing indulgence to the focus. Close Enough isn't perfect but with its charming tangents and its deft lack of meanness it's... C-

It's.... clo...

You get the picture.

Now I haven't seen regular show, but if it's anything like this I need to watch it. Close enough is an amazing show so far. Key word "so far" I would give this a nine because well, it's insanely funny, the animation is good and the characters are likeable. But I haven't seen enough of it to really get a good grasp of it.

I mean it's not a bad show and it's pretty funny but I still kind of miss regular show but I understand stuff has to change and just light reebly and stinky, first it becomes a kid show and later on want to make a Adult show. Still not bad, not bad. Good comedy and getting Memes made from them everyday!

After we had so many cartoon shows releasing since the success of Rick & Morty that were more or less... Well how do I say... Meh.

This show is finally another highlight on the animation horizon. Especially in the first few episodes they had some outstanding story ideas and well thought out jokes that you didn't see coming at all. I'm really excited to see where this show is going with more seasons.

This show is funny 80 percent of the time and hilarious rest of the time. Its episodes plots are amazing.
