Edit: Just saw the newest episodes. While it's sad to see a show you love end, at least it seems Ok K.O. will wrap up on a satisfactory way, I'm really excited to the series finale now.
I'm only making my way through the first season now (I've known about the show for ages, but only getting into it now) and it makes me super sad that there's nothing with the style of animation that'll still be around in a few weeks time :( Playing through the game as well, I just love how it does things like how much KO loves his mum... it makes my heart sing a little <3
What's even sadder and more lovely about the ending song is that it's about the magic of animation and cartoons (Ex. "Every second that you see is/24 connected pieces" = frames of animation)
I think it was a pretty good finale. A few of the battle scenes were really good and made me wish they had a more battle oriented series. Sad to see it go, but that was well done.
The only small (SMALL) relief is that it happened early on and they could tie up some of the loose ends. I do kinda wonder if they'd be interested in shopping it elsewhere though. Could it appear on something like Netflix?
The last several episodes feel rushed to wrap up what they wanted to show. You can tell they had a lot more to show and wanted to expand on some stuff and make arcs longer before they got cancelled. You see good plans that were forced to be rushed
Given the final episode, it feels like they could definitely do that. Unfortunately it's probably it for the show. Seems very hard for a lot of shows to come back from the dead. How many cartoons pull that off? The only one I can think of is Young Justice and that seems like it was a special case cause it could help a new streaming service.
OK KO was a banger. The final episode moved me with the barrage of title cards and the sentiments about time progressing. Hard to believe that the show proper has only been in my life for two years. I was uninterested in the Lakewood Plaza Turbo pilot back when it released, but the series hooked me within the first minute when KO earnestly dreams about becoming a hero in the style of a Magical Girl. Trust in Ian and his team was not misplaced.
Loved seeing time progress, getting a glimpse of Rad and Enid (who were the show for me) at my age and beyond.
I'll be there if OK KO is ever revived, and I'll be on the lookout for whatever projects KO alumni work on in the future.
So now that this has sadly finished, perhaps I should finally get into Stephen Universe. Do I just start from episode 1 and work my way through, or are they're episodes/seasons I could/should skip?

I have actually started with episode 1 and I'm pretty sure I've seen at least that before. I don't know how much of an influence Ian J-Q has on which aspects of the show, but it has a very similar vibe to OK-KO (although I miss the hand-drawn lines) so I think I'll enjoy it :)
I never realised this, here's some of the voice actors (although obvious now) I had no idea were in it:
Carol is voiced by Kate Flannery (Meredith from The Office)
Professor Venomous etc. are voiced by Stephen Ogg, aka Trevor from GTA5
Diedrich Bader as Cupid (neighbour from Office Space, Rex of Rex-kwan-do in Napoleon Dynamite)
Ron Funches as Sparko (don't know how I didn't pick this!)
Oh, and Lord Boxman is renowned voice actor Jim Cummings (Darkwing Duck, and ironically/coincedentally Dr. Robotnik in one of the Sonic cartoon series)
Well, I finally decided it was time to finish watching the show. I've been holding off because I didn't want it to end, but the finale episodes are phenomenal.
I know Toby Jones has talked (not seriously) on Twitter about a Hue Troop spin-off. Red Action is my fave so I'm obviously biased, but I'd really fucking love that and it seems the most reasonable direction to go vs reviving the show with a solid ending.
