MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!
Now, since the sun&moon series has aired it's first 5 episodes I felt it was appropriate to go ahead and ask ya'll what you thought about them. Did it exceed expectations? Was it about what you thought it was? Rate from 1-10 in the comments below!!
My opinion
Pro's
. ALL the characters are quite enjoyable so far.
Kiawe is the " father" figure of the group. He's stern, but he knows how to warm up to the group not always being the cliche " bad-ass jerk" character. And that in itself is pretty refreshing to me.
Mallow is the "mother" figure of the group. Always supporting her friends, quick to warm up to people and not even hesitating to show them around, also asking if people are okay if they get hurt. She's my favorite.
Lana is the shy girl. But she's also a girl of action
Sophocles is basically Clemont 2.0. That's about all I have to say
Also the "slapstick" comedy is working and blending in rather well, from ash taking a critical hit to the nads from milotic, to him getting slapped by alolan exeggutor, to the face he made when he saw bewear knock down that tree and realized that it was going to attack him. It just all blended in really well.
And also, last but not least. The background animation is GORGEOUS. Everthing is so vibrant and colorful, the people in the background aren't just cardboard cut-outs that stay still. They actually move.
CONS-
TR- When I first saw Team Rocket's design artwork before the series aired, honestly I was fine with it, there was nothing really different. But once I saw them animated ....wow, it looks like only there faces aged while the body stayed exactly the same. I also don't like them stalking ash's every move, yes I get it, it's team rocket they follow ash around, it's what they do. But they don't follow his every move, writing down every single thing he does. I'm sure that was just a one episode thing, but nonetheless it was quite creepy.
Tapu Koko himself is pretty cool, but him giving ash the z-ring was pretty pointless. So, it turns out that ash's z-ring broke because he had to go through and complete the island trials first. But being the island guardian, don't you think tapu koko would know that. It doesn't make any sense, and ash only got the ring that early to sell toys.
I'm not really a fan of professor kukui, professor sycamore was more fun.
Also, that bewear gag is just plain ridiculous
All in all, sun&moon exceeded my expectations and i'm sure it exceeded some of your expectations as well,and it's getting of to a pretty good start. Yeah, there's some okay episodes, but they recover with a good episode the next week.
Overall I will give the series a 7.8/10
What about you?
