Hazbin Hotel

Context, for the first three months of its existence I've been hating on this show out of sheer pettiness because it took the spotlight away from another indie thing that came out the exact same day. In march I finally decided I would give it a watch and was honestly surprised about how good it was. The animation was stunning, the music was fantastic minus a few songs, comedic writing was hit or miss in the first half but got better over time, then I reached the fourth episode and realized I was watching something that was truly special. If you've been debating whether or not you should watch it, I highly recommend you do so as it's honestly spectacular. I feel ashamed for not even mentioning Alex Brightman. He got his fame from "Beetlejuice the musical," and was phenomenal in that. In Hazbin Hotel he has two major roles, Adam who is the antagonist, and Sir Pentious who is an ally. He puts on his charm he uses in Beetlejuice for Adam and for Sir Pentious he goes completely different. I wouldn't exactly call this the best show out there, and you can see that with my list, But it's damn good and more shows should absolutely take a glance at its notes.

The pilot was amazing. I loved every minute of it and I wanna see more. Especially more of Alastor.

I have watched the pilot episode of Hazbin Hotel for the first time on YouTube since January 2020. I thought I never saw any adult cartoons like that before in my entire life. It's absolutely amazing. I just love it. It's probably one of the best adult cartoons of all time. Vaggie is my favourite character. I always have a crush on Vaggie.

I'm sure Hazbin Hotel might be perfect for some viewers who are sick of watching The Simpsons and South Park (especially the modern era) all the time.

I might watch the full series someday.

If you enjoy watching the other adult cartoons, you'll love this.

Positives:

• Extremely fun and likable characters
• Wonderful Animation with beautiful lighting and a great energy
• Well done humor, in my opinion at least

Negatives:

• Plot moves at such an extreme break neck pace
• Way too many sound affects that became kind of distracting for me
• Poor shot timing in some scenes

This show was put on on a whim, and wow was I surprised at how engaging and fun it is. The voice talents are amazing (love Keith David and Alex Brightman, and who could argue against Stephanie Beatriz?), and the writing is great! I honestly was not expecting songs, which are really fun, and there are a lot of references to biblical lore, which I find fascinating.

It tackles a lot more issues than just sinning and redemption, and it has an interesting take on demons and the inner workings between different factions. I love the biblically accurate angel representations and attention to detail, and while I was initially skeptical of the animation style, I have grown to really like it.
