Legends of Chima (2013)
A hidden gem
The first time I ever saw the Chima logo it was on a Toys 'R Us banner and I thought nothing of it. The next time I saw it was after watching many children's shows on Netflix with my son. I didn't want to watch it at first, but as time passed I eventually hot curious about and recently I caved. Admittedly as of writing this review I've only watched up to the 7th episode but hand-on-The-Bible I was blown away by how good it is. Okay, I admit it's not amazing, but the graphics are better than those of Lego Movie and it has a rich backlore and charming characters. And the stories are so drawing that I even forget the characters are Legos. I mean unlike other Lego media they refrain from using their Legoness to rebuild themselves (to my knowledge) and the sets and set pieces seldom-to-never have Lego logos or the brick tops. This keeps the fun, imaginative stories immersive. I will say that some characters are annoying and some lines are cheesy and I can tell when multiple characters are voiced by the same actor but hey, it's a kid's cartoon. Would a kid notice/care? No. I'd go as far as to say that this is the best Lego media I've seen.
BoJack Horseman (2014)
This show could replace Fritz the Cat
This show always surprises me. While I wouldn't call the artwork primo it's real enough that once my suspension of belief kicks in, I stop caring about that. I feel like each main character represents a different facet of a whole personality making each character both relatable and realistic. The voices were all perfectly cast and the plot is both drawing and seamless. The first time I watched it I didn't notice the change between the seasons. The intro sequence staying consistent with the show helps that out a lot. The show even gets pretty HBO, but despite knowing all that I already did the already raunchy show went over it's own top toward the end of season 2 and blew my mind. I loved this show.
