First and foremost I must come forward saying that as of this review I have not watched the original TV show. I grew up in the 80s, born into a conservative Christian home as a preachers kid. I was not allowed to watch He-Man, but I was allowed to watch Thundercats. Explain that one to me.
So without watching the original series, or knowing anything about the universe as a whole, just take my review as a "noob" to this new series.
I watched the whole season in one day and was pretty enthralled from the beginning. It does have corny and campy moments, think Pokemon, and the story is not in depth, nor does it take itself to seriously, but it tries. Aside from that, it is a pretty good show and keeps you entertained throughout.
One of the best things about the show, at least as a gay man, it is very LGBTQ friendly. I also like the powerful femininity that is quite prevalent. Even though a lot of the female characters are princesses, they are strong and fight for what they believe in, which I think is an important lesson for children, both girls and boys.
It's definitely a kids show, but it is a great one. The animation is very anime, beautiful colors and interesting magic and battles.
I highly recommend this to not only children, but adults who like this type of campy animation. I wouldn't say it's brilliant, but it has great potential to become it. I look forward to future episodes!
