Visually stunning, but unfortunately the script has all the tired tropes of Disney & Marvel.

I went into this watching completely unaware of the story and was I surprised! I binged it in one evening, honestly didn't expect it to be this good! This series has many strong points: spectacular animations, an engaging story, very unique character designs and even serious themes presented in a way that even a child can understand easily and sympathize with! The theme of death is at the center of most episodes, and yet everything pays out in very uplifting way, because death is always seen in a positive light, as an inevitable part of life. Which is true and is nice to actually talk about that in such a open way in a kids' show! Definitely didn't expect the ending, and that is what made this miniseries really worth watching!

Loved the art style, this show taught me mercy. And made me cry lots

Gorgeous, at points genuinely breathtaking. The writing itself is still very much a kid's show though Like everything Jorge R seems to make, I absolutely adore it visually but find the plot unfortunately shallow. While I think this looks better than Book of Life, the sbow being longer than a movie made the writing become a lot more frustrating. Constant quips to try and be 'funny', no subtlety with the writing so little kids understand the moral lessons and constant movement from plot point to plot point without much time to let anything sink in a plot that's already pretty standard as is. Also it's inspired by stuff like Mayan culture, not historically accurate if you're the type to really care about that I guess Seriously though this show is so fricking pretty

I loved it from start to finish.
