In my opinion, it missed the mark :\

It as way too quickly paced and lacked much of what I loved about that part of the story, It felt impatient! like it couldnt wait to get to the next character or reveal and couldnt let anything breath before quickly rushing to the next thing!
This leads to a... lets call it "energy" that is illfitting of homestuck in my opinion, and is gonna make the events of the story that are supposed to be significant feel typical and well insignificant (mainly talkin about the meteor)
I also dont find it enjoyable as a standalone show because its full of references and nods to things only fans would understand, like showing jack noir and rose sneaking around the house, and the pilot doesnt provide context for those so if you DONT know homestuck you wouldnt get it!

It wasnt all bad, the characters are mostly fine (tho IMO dave is way too hyperactive), but as an adaptation AND a standalone episode I quite disliked it!
