So I will be completely honest, I am not particularly a fan of this specific style of storytelling, mainly an animated show in which the tone is constantly shifting from exaggerated comedy to serious drama. It is not the same as black comedy, because the goal at the end of the day is not to make you laugh, the goal is to tell a captivating story, but the entire thing is framed as comedic. I am not saying it is a bad style, I just personally do not like it, and feel as though it is overdone. However, it doesn't mean that it is a bad style just because it's not my favorite. So when I heard that this was getting picked up to be a fully-fledged animated series with an entire team behind it, and was started by a low-budget youtuber, I was definitely intrigued.
Needless to say, I was not personally that drawn in by the pilot because as I said before, I do not like the style. But objectively, it is quite well done. The animation is incredibly interesting, especially on Alastor the Radio Demon, along with the voice acting and music. The entire thing is professionally made, which is especially impressive since it comes from a youtuber, who, while they do have a team working for them, ultimately does not have the same resources as a TV production company. So even though it is not really my taste in storytelling, I definitely think that it deserved to be picked up for a full series.
I'm going to put this at a 6/10 for now due to us only having the pilot, but the rating for the overall series could be much higher, depending on how good it ends up being.
