Been seeing a lot of people comparing the art direction, specifically the girl which is the one thing everyone is focused on, to Totally Spies, Wakfu(never watched it), and a couple of other ones I haven't heard of. Usually these types of projects try to ape a specific cartoon and come out looking worse so I think it's pretty cool that Planetronika pulls from like sources to create something that could actually have existed amongst it's inspirations. I don't think I have seen anyone replicate this 2000s euro-anime style let alone looking like how my child brain remembered it looking.

I swear I've seen this exact style for eyes, but I can't put my finger on where.
Anyway, a lot of retards on Xitter and /co/ are calling it goonslop and Y2Kslop, as well as the pilot not really having a plot nor clear premise(true tho); On the other hand, great reception on Newgrounds and as of me typing, almost 700k views on Youtube. Impressive for a cartoon that came out of nowhere. Nostalgia bait is another term I've been seeing too and it sorta worked on me. I've been reminiscing about those hot summer days between elementary school grades bringing my bionicles to the neighborhood pool since. Gated, no lifeguards, trees all around. Us crackers had the afternoons all to ourselves cuz the Asians went in the morning and the Indians in the evening. It was a more simple time, a more innocent time. Hope this guy makes more.

Yeah, it’s really impressive how accurate they’ve managed to nail that particular era of cartoon and its style. Was pretty entertaining too.

Twitter losing their shit is just icing on the cake.
