I loved it enough. All the voice actors did great job, all the voices revealed so far suit their characters imo (unlike what people were saying about Dave's voice). John straight out fighting his father was... different, I guess? I mean it fits the overall bizarre vibe of Homestuck, but makes me wonder what they are going to change with Bro Strider to make him seem abusive to Dave if fighting between family members is okay in the setting of the Pilot. Two things that concern me are: 1) Dave IS heavily OOC compared to his comic equivalent and I wonder why. Was it Hussie's decision? Is the change deliberate? Will Dave be going through a slightly different character arc than he does in the comic? Is the plot going to follow comic plot from A to Z? Because we all saw the retcon hand, so are they going to repeat the retcon? Is it even necessary if the plot does stay the same? 2) Okay, so the Pilot is like... an actual pilot to the series or a pilot-"could be upgraded to episode 1" thing? Because if it's the latter than they have to dance from what they already made and not just a promo-video for... whoever will sponsor the series.

But overall it's fun. Entertaining. I can't wait to see what waits for us in the future where Homestuck: The Animated Series actually exists.

Who is Home and why is he stuck?
