Recently, I have begun watching two new animated shows that have just been released. The first is a new series on Disney Channel called The Owl House. The second is a series on Netflix called Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts.
The Owl House centers around a girl named Luz who enters a fantasy world and trains to become a witch with the help of a witch named Eda and her demon friend named King. First off, I love the characters. Luz is a bit weird, but she's relatable. Not to mention, she's also very determined and doesn't seem to quiver in the face of danger. Eda is a quirky sort of character and seems like the kind of fun-loving aunt that someone has in their family. King is absolutely adorable and pretty funny. I can tell there's going to be a ton of plushies made of him. The animation is pretty good with amazing backgrounds and Gravity Falls-esque character animation. If you're a fan of Gravity Falls and Star vs the Forces of Evil, you'll love this show.
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts centers around a girl named Kipo who finds herself on a post-apocalyptic earth after being whisked away from her underground home. There, she makes friends and learns how to survive in this strange, new world. The animation for the show is very good with unique designs for the characters and the mutant animals that inhabit the world the show is set in. I do admire the fact that the show is set in a post-apocalyptic world. It's something that you don't see too often in cartoons. The characters of the show are pretty good with each having their own secrets to hide. The story is engaging as you learn more about the characters and the world they inhabit. Not to mention the show has it's own unique soundtrack with original songs along with various hip-hop and R&B songs. Overall, I really enjoyed this show. It's got a good story, characters, and it has a very unique setting that you'll find yourself captivated by.
If you ever have time to watch these shows, I highly recommend them.
