Honestly it lacks a shyt load of depth. Some of the action scenes are cool but main character went from forgetting he had a revenge plot to restarting that plot to forgiving the prince and just casually moving on. Its all over the place with little explanation on a lot. Main bad guy trash too

I'll just copy and paste what I said in the original thread:

Honestly this show was kind of a let down considering how long the wait for it was.

My biggest problem with it was it was trying to do way the fukk too much for a 12-episode season. It needed to be at least twice that long to properly flesh out the world and still let Philly, S.A.M. and Casey do their little side adventures.

They also rush through Philly the Kid's origin in like a minute and a half, and he already knew about Gara's Keep so I don't get why he wasted his immortality for so long until he ran into S.A.M. and Casey. And Prince Kelby's a little shythead too, so I don't really care that keeps getting kidnapped.

It reminds me of the first season of Seven Deadly Sins, where they team goes on their little adventures while they try to reach their destination and form their team. But Seven Deadly Sins made Meliodas impossibly attractive to every female on the show, and was :comeon:. Cannon Busters didn't do this with Philly and I appreciate that.

It also reminded me of Mech Cadet Yu. a Boom Studios comic that came out about a year ago. It also tried to do way the fukk too much in its short run (12 issues), and when we got to the final battle it had no emotional weight. I don't care about Philly wanting to kill Prince Kelby because aside from Kelby being a bytch, I don't buy that Philly suddenly has this dilemma when he wasted his immortality for so long, when he only wanted it to get revenge on the Botican empire. There are also way too many factions to keep up with, and the world building and villains aren't properly fleshed out.

They were obviously setting up a second season with the ending, but with all the production delays will it even get it? Plus these aren't the days of Hemlock Grove and Lilyhammer. Netflix is approaching Fox status with how quickly and unceremoniously they cancel shows. :francis:

So.... 6, I guess.

A lot of weak stock characters and I hated how one of Philly's character traits was he stunk:scusthov:

I like the anthropomorphic characters in the background and the theme song.
