This show wasn't advertised a lot. It's on Apple TV Plus, which almost no one has, and its very existence was kept a secret until just this year, most likely due to non-disclosure agreements. Well, if no one will hype it up, I will.
Writing - 2/2 while it does fall prey to some common cliches (western isekai, main character is an outcast, goes to boarding school etc), it still manages to stand out from the crowd with its unique universe and terminology. The stories are a nice balance between self-contained and plot-relevant to the overall arc.
Voice Acting - 2/2. The voice cast is a great mix of British child actors and well-known American actors. The voice actors for Wolfboy, Xandra, and Sprout each have a great delivery and pack a lot of emotion for serious scenes.
Animation - 1/2 probably the weakest aspect of the series. Sometimes the animation can be really great, like during fight scenes and the theme song, but most of the time, it's somewhat choppy. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not.
Characters - 2/2. William "Wolfboy" Wolfe is our hero, a loner who wears a wolf mask and gets sent to a strange realm at the center of earth, where he meets sprites named Xandra and Sprout. Xandra is fierce, passionate, and distrustful towards Wolfboy because of her bad experience with humans. It turns out that she and Wolfboy aren't so different after all, because Xandra's parents died and Wolfboy had no family except for his mum.
Music - 2/2 Very adventurous techno-like music, fitting the tone of the show.
Overall - 9/10.
