To be fair some of the voice actor auditions are decent, while a lot are pretty terrible. Maybe if the series was a little more well-written I could tolerate listening to a few of them. I've definitely tolerated worse voice acting in the past.

I wonder if anyone working on the cartoon actually has a decent amount of talent. Sonmaniac's Sonic movie had Nicochi (an admittedly good artist, all else aside) I wonder who Enter has.

Meghan's a decent artist, who is wasting her time on a ship that sunk before it was even built.
 
In most cartoons, little boys are played by women, but they're insisting that Timmy be played by a man.
He's probably trying to rip off Gravity Falls again, just like he ripped off Mabel to make Sally. On Gravity Falls, Dipper, the 12-year-old main character, is played by a grown man. Except there it actually works, whereas Timmy sounds like Barney the Dinosaur with downs syndrome.

I don't understand how Enter thinks he can milk an entire series from the kind of concept we'd see for Silver Age comic one-offs. Even I could only get so many penis jokes out of Khezu from Monster Hunter.
 
While I'll still say the actress's voice for Timmy is grating and lacking character, in my opinion part of me doesn't want to be too harsh towards the VA. She just sounds like a teenager who got lucky (Is she a teenager? I don't know her age). I haven't seen the other VAs for the other three characters, but I know that being a VA is not easy. You have to be very dynamic with your voice, and that alone would take a lot of practice. I'm probably saying the obvious, but Enter should've put forth an effort to find professionals to voice animated characters. Finding a good VA is a large factor for a good cartoon; they bring life to the characters/writing.


I don't know.
 
They still need voices for side characters and whatnot - even then, I don't feel there's any talent going on here, let alone any real effort to do pursue that... FACT, which is equally as bad, if not worse. Screwed as usual, this... thing, is.

There's all kinds of strange and disturbing implications in the show. Are all the adults going to be Robert and Linda's age? Do they have children as teenagers and then become subservient to them? How long is it acceptable for the adults to wait before having a child? Do they have the right to be childless?
You'd expect that for someone like Enter, who spends half the time in his reviews talking about implications, this would be worth working out. It's not like he's able to hide behind the "it's just a kid's cartoon" card after he's shut that down so many times. But even regardless of that, it's not easy to write for a universe that is so fundamentally broken and full of mystery. It's not just a matter of what viewers think. It's gotta be difficult for himself and the writers.

There's an orphanage for childless adults, apparently.
This whole thing sounds like a terrifying dystopia the more I hear about it.

Honestly it's sort of making me think of that Fairy Odd Parents review where he complained about it ignoring all the people in the world who are not interested in hetero relationships or relationships at all but were forced into ones. I feel like, in that vein, this is the exact kind of thing Enter would complain about in a cartoon if somebody did it.

But it's him doing it so it's ok.
