Already hit a third of a million views! I've got a good feeling about this.


Yes, the opening with WV completely took me by surprise, but it makes sense as a way of getting the cosmic scope of the story onscreen as quickly as possible.


John and Rose are closest to their comic originals. I'm a massive Rose fan and I thought her voice-acting was superb. Jade seems a lot more manic, and Dave less cool and guarded, but it did feel like they have the same basic personailties. They just express themselves a bit differently.


I did like how they handled sylladexes. There's the explaining bit with John complaining about the narrator, but not so loudly you can't follow it. Then we promptly get quick demos of it in action, espeically the pie and the cake forcing items out of John's sylladex in the Dadstrife. Which was also brilliant! A mixture of classic exaggerated cartoon shenanigans and anime bossfight, but the shot at the end with Dad swoooshing at the fire alarm suggests it may have been just a minor scrap that stayed inside the kitchen.

A girl stands in her bedroom on her 26th birthday. As she waits for the mail-centipede to arrive, her fingers twiddle with her long grey beard. The beard twiddles back.
