~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I like this show. The characters are great, the voice acting’s great, the art’s great, the story is interesting, the worldbuilding is interesting. I like it. Searching for Kipo’s people is a good plot hook; my biggest question about it is whether this is going to be an episodic story or an ongoing primary narrative. The cliffhanger we just had points to the latter, and I HOPE it’s the latter, but we’ll have to see.

Dave and Benson in particular are very fun. I’m a big fan of charming rogues done well, and the fact that they backed Kipo up almost without question speaks to their character. Mandu is...well, just a macot character, really, and one that doesn’t add a lot besides giving Kipo characterization about how she bonds with anything and anyone. Wolf is fairly fun, and I look forward to the slow cracking of her armor. Kipo, finally, is a pretty good protagonist; she’s fun to watch, fun to listen to, and both charming and endearing in equal measure.

I‘m looking forward to more of this show. I’m pretty sure the patron who picked it wants me to keep watching indefinitely, which is fine by me.

That’ll be the blog for today! Tune in tomorrow at noon EST for the start of Amphibia episode 6, or you can tune in to my Twitch channel today at 1 PM EST where I’ll be continuing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom!

Thank you all for tuning in, and thank you to my 44 blog patrons, who make it so I can do this for a living! I’ll see you next time!
