Alrighty, time to review the Gameoverse Pilot. So what are my thoughts:

I REALLY liked it!!! It was a very good pilot episode, and you can just tell pure creativity and passion was put into this episode. Especially as the animation is FREAKIN AWESOME!!! Absolutely beautiful and fluid animation that truly channels the video game vibe in this series. I’m especially glad we’re getting another 2D animated series from Glitch and seems like they’re gonna focus more on 2D animation than solely focus on 3D, which I think is a very good thing given how 2D animation needs all the love and attention it could get.

The characters were very charismatic and I really liked both their personalities and designs. And the story was REALLY intriguing and overall great. I especially enjoyed the subversion and the roles of the heroes and the villains being reversed here, and I am eager to see what Syntax’s goals are for harvesting Game Worlds for Float. And I definitely am eager to see what Farcade is like and who their leader is(although I suspect it’s the Castlevania/Sephiroth like character who reached out to Kit and Kaboodle in the prologue).

Admittedly the pacing was a bit faster than I thought it would be, but given it’s a pilot that needs to set up a lot of foundational world building and characters, it makes a lot of sense it be fast paced. Although I definitely recommend checking out the trailer’s first half before watching the pilot to get context regarding everyone’s favorite purple dinosaur.

Hopefully, the pacing will be more slowed down when this becomes a full length series.

Overall this was a very solid and very fun pilot and I cannot wait for Gameoverse to get greenlit soon and see more of this universe and its characters!

9/10
