Dreamwork's Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts coming next week to Netflix
- Thread starter E_i
- Start date
Yeah, just gotta respect that they just said it. Needs to happen more often.
just finished this. damn, love everything about the universe, setting and characters - except kipo herself. she was quite frankly grating, and i really hate this thing that entertainment does where they have a person new to a situation school others who live it on how shit gets done. she felt borderline marysue ish.
I've heard really good things about this series. Hoping to check it out soon.
Netflix has been killing the animation game recently. Gives me hope their Transformers series might actually turn out decent.

I'm liking the world/setting, I just wish Kipo would kind of stop talking. Or talk like 90% less
For something i had no idea existed prior to monday, this was really excellent. Get that hype train rolling.
Yeah she and her story the worst parts of the show for me. If this was just Wolf and Benson I'd probably enjoy it a lot more.
Finally finished this show
I actually wasn't feeling the first episode but the second episode had me hooked. I didn't like (and still don't like) the Teen Titans-looking art style and Kipo, but the show looking great in motion (especially during the great action sequences) and the show introducing a bunch of characters (so you get less of solo Kipo) made these less of an issue. Of course, everything else being amazing (e.g. the music, the world, the sense of adventure etc.) helped too lol
Time to rewatch all the episodes while quietly hoping for more
Same here. Honestly, the music in this show is so good. I actually looked up the soundtrack, and I *never* do that with cartoons.
(Also I wanna mention that while it's great they released the music, it is CRIMINAL how short these "full" tracks are. I need a full version of that Timber Cat's song, Dreamworks pls make it happen)

Kipo herself annoyed me til I remembered it was an all-ages show. She's absolutely not as annoying as the leads in the other shows my kids watch lol
It's rad though. I like it a lot.

Peeps already dropping the Mary Sue word like they didn't watch the full season.
Finished this tonight. It was absolutely lovely. The soundtrack kicked ass, especially during the action.
I need Season 2!

Watched the first 3 episodes and I'm digging it. The animation is fantastic at some parts, especially the chase scenes.
It leans on humor a bit too much for my taste, but it's great to see another imaginative, adventure-driven cartoon. They're few and far between these days.

Me and my 7yr old daughter marathoned the whole thing.... twice.
Soundtrack was good, the vibe was great, the characters grow on you quick, and it left me wanting more.

This does not surprise me, all of the show's best action scenes have him in it
Jamack has his fans.
Most of his scenes (like when he's introduced and when he's with Kipo) are hilarious too
i binged the whole thing and dropped the word in good conscience. and still stand by it
The "Old Dirty Billions" picture on the wall got a laugh out of me.
It was never completed, Rad Sechrist scrapped it when he was scouted to adapt it as an animated series. There's about a dozen pages out there in the wild, with vastly different character designs and similar yet different plot beats developing.
I also have this from a discord convo, spoilery so hiding behind tags:
probably goes a long way in explaining why no one ever questions Kipo's appearance at first
her skin tone in the comic was more of a light shade of brown, and not quite purple tinted
I feel like it's the Steven Universe problem.
As in, when you plop an emotionally mature young person in a setting where conflict arises because all the other characters lack some amount of emotional understanding it gives people the impression that they're a Mary Sue for being able to communicate effectively.
To me it makes sense why all the characters act the way they do. Makes sense that she can sing and talk-no-jutsu her way through it. And focusing only on that stuff makes you miss her character development, her growth and what she learns from others.
I just finished watching this last night, and I'm definitely going to recommend it to my friends when I see them tonight. Also, anyone else besides me keep slipping and calling it "Kipo and the Age of the Ultrabeasts?"
Whoa damn. That's an inspired development for an executive request.I also have this from a discord convo, spoilery so hiding behind tags:

I didn't even realize she was purple, I just thought everything in the world was super colorful and it was part of the style.
Not sure if it's been mentioned by anyone, im only 2 episodes in but this show really reminds me of original Dragon Ball.
There is more to it that I can't quite put my finger one but i think it's mainly the dynamic between the characters and how they start as enemies and then team up + talking animals/monsters.

The show is obviously good and I saw it all in one sitting but I found it solely due to Imdb recommendations and the 8,3 rating there. Is Kipo one of these endless Netflix shows that don´t get promotions or get traction anywhere and then just die like Tuca & Bertie?
The recently translated from Chinese Scissor Seven is another example. Fucking hell Netflix. Why are you run like shit?
DreamWorks does good stuff for Netflix, they even had Studio Mir work on this. 8,5/10
Edit: Mir animated The Death of Superman 2019 (but only part 1) and is now a DC animation regular. Good for them. Steady work.

I really liked it. Looking forward to a season two and i liked all the ways they 'hide' Kipo's name.
Is Kipo purple? When the frog mention her skin as "untouched by the sun" I thought that was what he was referring to but more humans kept showing up and were decidedly not purple and now I'm confused.
