Once more unto the breach dear friends. Sonic Underground is a wonderful kind of bad. This thing is Early GI Joe meets Jem and the Holograms wonky yet this actively works in it's favor. It's just trying so hard you can't help but smile at it's earnest attempt at being cool.
The songs are just simply awful outside of 2 or so exceptions depending on who you ask. There is little guitar or drums in any of them which is made rather confusing by scenes of them soundlessly drumming and strumming. I spend most of my time laughing at the static facial features of the characters who are
just always smiling at the worst possible times.
This is pure nostalgia fare and nothing else.

The Hollow
(2018–2020)
Incredible and binge-worthy!
15 June 2018
I don't normally binge anything. This was the glorious exception! I'm seeing a bunch of people docking it a point or two for it's conclusion though. I simply don't think the ending was bad. Thought it was great as a matter of opinion. Regardless, the show is a nail biting dash-fest reminiscent of young adult fiction books like Percy Jackson or Maze Runner. Not a single bad episode and that is praise enough to put it in my top 25.
Littlest Pet Shop
(2012–2022)
Decent enough
12 December 2014
LPS is just good enough to be watchable. Many of the characters have interesting personalities, quirks, or behaviors while others are just annoying, bland, or stereotypical. For example I found Sunil and Vinne grating to watch while Russel, Minka, and Pepper were interesting and fun. The plots and musical numbers fall into a similar catch or miss territory as well. I found myself skipping entire scenes or episodes but laughing at and replaying others. If you are interested in watching it as a test run I would recommend watching S1 EP15 (Topped with Buttercream), S1 EP23 (Door Jammed), and S2 EP18(Grounded).
Most episodes contain two parallel stories which alternate usually focusing on both Blythe and the Pet-shop pets. They follow a slice of life format with the occasional minor antagonist like the Biskit twins or a new guest at the pet-shop. Most problems are usually a result of someone blowing something way out of proportions and resolved with relatively little struggle. This show does fall into many overdone tropes but they are relatively painless in most cases. Overall it's a decent show with a issue or two but nothing bad enough to ruin it.
