Victor & Valentino

Before I start his review, I would just like to say that even though I love Gravity Falls, its affect on the cartoon community has been very negative. Due to its success, people bemoan any mystery/supernatural cartoon of any kind as a Gravity Falls ripoff. This has happened to Over the Garden Wall, Hilda, Welcome to the Wayne, and now Victor & Valentino. Seriously? Not every show is a copy of Gravity Falls. end of rant, let's get on with the review.

V&V is a love letter to Mexican culture. It reminds me a lot of the obscure Nicktoon El Tigre. It also gives me vibes of The Book of Life and Coco. If you're Mexican/Spanish/etc, you'll definitely like this show. I know I did and I recognized a lot of the culture.

The characters are very quirky and believable. The animation is alright (although it looks too similar to other CN shows on at the moment). The opening theme is well-composed. The show has a lot of supernatural and mystery elements to it that shape it up to be an exciting series. It's episodic as of now, but it will likely get more story driven as time. The only issue I have with the series is that it can get a little boring, but that's really my problem since I'm tired all the time and have a short attention span.

Well this was one of the few cartoons on the cartoon network line up I was looking forward to and now I can give it a proper review.

After watching around 4-5 episodes of this it is safe to see it is good show but it could be improved.

This show is like gravity falls but shorter.

It is about two boys who in each episode have a magical mystery.

In terms of plot it is good but just like the problem with every cartoon network show on currently it is an eleven minute format and realistically to make it more plot devoted it could be 22 minutes.

Also the animation/art style is too similar to other shows on cartoon network. But other then that it is a decent show.

Great animation.

Great comedy.

Great voice actors.

Pretty much all I ask for from an animated show. I love watching it with the family. Keep it coming!

I like cartoons with magic and mysteries. i was missing that on cartoon network. the episodes actually are creative, nothing generic and predictable. it also doesn't have those cliche school episodes. it also reminds of gravity falls and a bit of adventure time

The themes & culture references are Latin base. Their grandma Chata telling them to behave by spooking them that some evil supernatural being could appear to harass them. Or when Victor says "don't you know I'm loco" to Valentino referring to either Blood in Blood out or Cypress Hill's Insane in the Brain.
