He’s in the Crazy Cartoon Cast of AniMat: Return of the (Hill) King (2023).
After just 3 episodes I’m already hooked
Grinding Coffee (Uncredited) Traditional [Music during title sequence]. They did such a great job with the casting, voice acting, writing, and even the music. Not only are the songs great, but they’re appropriate and move the story forward. In the few episodes I’ve seen, the characters have already developed depth and personality.
They’re not perfect or boring
For now, they’re putting less emphasis on the main plot so they can tell each character’s story, which will continue to push their growth as a team and as individuals. Which I think is a great way to start. While this is going on, I don’t even notice how little the main plot is developing. The series is full of comic relief, but you can also feel yourself getting attached to the characters.
Thanks for reading
I definitely recommend this show and can’t wait to see where it goes. I hope this convinces you to give it a try. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed in the slightest. Looking for something else to add to your watchlist?
