If they do anything with SBAHJ it better either be ripped directly from Hussie's mid-2000s drawings or else uncomfortably over-animated uncanny valley shit ala pilotredsun.


ANYWAY.


The visual production on this genuinely looks pretty great. I know people have their critiques here and there but as much as Hazbin/Helluva aren't for me, I could never argue that they have unengaging or phoned-in visuals, and this still looks a lot more faithful to Homestuck than the phrase "Homestuck cartoon made by vivziepop" would lead people to assume.


That said, whether it will indeed "do numbers"...well, it has to be good, is the thing. The direction of the teaser gives me confidence in the presentation, but I honestly have no idea what the script could be like. Writing a long-winded comic and a television episode are pretty different skills, and I don't know anything about Skye Henwood. According to the wiki she's written for both Hellaverse shows (which could mean anything), but that's not even a credit on her linkedin page, so I'm not sure what she's even done. And we're already seeing some sweeping changes, so this whole thing could be a very pretty trainwreck for all I know.
