"Mission Hill" was an excellent (and underrated ) animated show that unlike the other shows that are supposed to be aimed to adults didn't have to use cheap cultural references or gross sex jokes in order to deliver laughs.
Instead of that, "Mission Hill" had a very intelligent and funny style of satire that reminded some underground comics as "Hate" or "Eightball".
The art was pretty well made, with a great use of colors and stylish designs. I particularly like the bright colors used in each one of the sceneries from this animated series, which certainly had much more charm than most of the modern, digitally made cartoons.
The characters were likable and original, without any kind of annoying cliché or silly stereotypes.
The jokes were witty and clever. The voice acting was pretty good and it also had very good, catchy music (I particularly liked the intro song, which was awesome)
"Mission Hill" had all the potential to be the spiritual successor for "The Simpsons". Unfortunately, this series didn't received the appreciation it deserved, being considered just another one more animated sitcom for adults that spawned in the wake of South Park and Family Guy, despite being actually better than those two shows.
And that's just a shame. This show deserved much more fame and recognition, specially considering the low quality of many bad cartoons from the recent years.
10/10 (I would rate it with eleven stars if I could)
