Before discussing how great this show is, I'm going to quickly go over the negatives. The animation is sub-par, and the stories can be a little chaotic and incoherent. But... those are the only negatives I can think of. I can easily forgive the choppy-ish animation because this series used to be a low-budget webtoon. And some incoherence is actually necessary when it comes to this cartoon, it adds to the insanity that is "Mighty Magiswords". The story is, a girl named Vambre and her brother Prohyas Warrior are paid to go on quests(usually to retrieve something) for people who are in need of adventurers. Vambre and Prohyas collect "magiswords"(different types of swords designed to do different types of things) while going on adventures. They live with a blue dragon named Grup and have a couple of enemies as well(Witch Way and Gateau, for example).
The humor in this series is sharp as a dagger. The humor is so fast-paced and beautifully executed that I can't help but admire every writer behind these episodes. The characters speak very quickly, but the way these jokes are delivered make it a truly enjoyable watch. I know I thrashed on the animation earlier, but I do really like the designs in this show. I was interested in Kyle A. Corozza's art since he was a storyboard artist on Fish Hooks, but at this point I can't help but appreciate his work. These designs are flawless. I mean, they aren't the most beautiful things you'll ever see in your life, but there's just something smooth about these characters(it's funny how the designs are smooth but the animation isn't, huh?).
There is also a large amount of personality in these characters. I mean, Gateau, one of the villain's sidekicks, has more personality than a typical superhero. The voices really help put this into perspective, too. Each voice seems to match these character's personalities. I'm not saying other cartoons don't this as well(trust me, MANY animated series have great voice actors), but it's still refreshing to hear nonetheless. Heck, Kyle A. Corozza voices half the characters himself. He's clearly a talented guy. I also like how this show has a small budget, but that there is still innovation oozing from it. This shows that hard work is put into here, as choppy as the animation is. Not many cartoons handle a low budget quite like this one.
I truly appreciate the creativity and clever humor that comes from Mighty Magiswords, and I hope it gets renewed for another season.
