score 9/10
This is definitely a show worth watching. The characters are all great and even the side characters are memorable, but not as much as something like Gravity falls. The blend of animation styles is also a brilliant concept. While there are Handrawn and CGI characters in every episode, they will sometimes use live action, puppetry, claymation, anime, and they even get experimental with the 2D and CG stuff. And all on a background that's just photos of the real world. The show is rarely emotionally gripping, because that's not the point of the show; it's primarily a comedy series. Every single episode has at least 1 light-chuckle-worthy joke. But some of the episodes are absolutely hilarious, especially when they are parodying things. They've parodied The Jurassic Park Franchise, The Star Wars Franchise and its Fanbase, Star Trek, Harry Potter, Soap Opera's, The Walking Dead, Lame Teen pandering Sitcoms, Rocky, and even Back to the Future. And if it's not a direct parody, there are still references to several other things such as 2001: A Space Odessy, The Shining, and Silence of the Lambs. BUT. But when they actually go for emotional or heartwarming stories, it always works, given it happens rarely. My only complaint would be the lack of continuity in... how the continuity works. There are 3 or more episodes with the exact same plot of the main character proving himself to his crush's father. Sometimes characters are just completely different from episode to episode in personality and intelligence. It's like some episodes are important and actually have relevance in later episodes, where other episodes are 100% inconsequential. But that more of a nitpick, and I wouldn't say it doesn't take away any of my enjoyment of the show. The lows in the show are still OK, but the highs are the highest of highs and make the whole experience so worth it. Definitely check this one out... or just find a list of the best episodes. 9/10 (Plus they mention DANK MEMES more than once. So it gets extra points for that.)
