The Owl House (2020)
I'm Already In Love
Even when I first saw the trailers for this show, I was already interested. It looked like the best parts of Gravity Falls and SVTFOE had been folded into one show. Now the first episode has come out, and if that was any indication of the series' quality, we're in for something amazing.

I highly recommend this cartoon.
I only took up this cartoon recently, but now that I've seen it, I honestly think Star vs. the Forces of Evil is the most underrated cartoon Disney has ever released. It has an amazing cast of characters, a great balance between lighthearted and serious moments, and the longer the plot goes on, the better it gets. Since the show changed drastically over its lifespan, I feel it appropriate to review each season.
Season 1: 8/10-When I watched the first season, I was in love almost immediately. Technically, the plot isn't that present in this season, being more episodic than having episodes build on each other, but I was so enthralled by the lovable characters the show had to offer that I didn't even care. Even then, the plot they did have-both in isolated episodes and overall-was really good. If you're looking for a fun time, this season will provide it.
Season 2: 9/10-This is when the show starts transitioning towards plot focus. For the most part, it retains its episodic format, but the connections between episodes become stronger as it goes on. It also sets the stage for many of the events in the upcoming seasons, so this season is essential to anyone who wants to tackle the whole series.
Season 3: 9.5/10-This may be a controversial decision, but to me, this was the greatest season of the show. It was here that the plot was at its most powerful. Granted, there was a bit of a lull after the Battle of Mewni, but once the plot picks up momentum, it becomes one of the most captivating parts of this show. I'll admit that I didn't like a few of the things the characters did, but those can easily be accepted as mistakes. And even with those mistakes, I still enjoyed each and every one of them. Personally, I love this season, and I recommend it even more than I recommend the other seasons.
Season 4: 7.5/10-I'd be lying if I didn't say this was the weakest season. It wasn't necessarily bad: they just didn't do as much with it as they could have, and I wasn't a big fan of its finale. But what they did give us in this season was sill mostly well done-maybe a bit slow paced at times, but the payoff is generally worth it.
Overall, I really enjoyed this show. Was it perfect? No. Is it still worth watching? Absolutely.
Star vs. the Forces of Evil: Cleaved (2019)
Of a very confusing quality
For me, this finale was of a very confusing quality. It certainly wasn't a Weirdmageddon level masterpiece, but it wasn't a VLD Season 8 level disaster either. My biggest problem was Star's decision to destroy magic and the implications that came with it. That, and that it felt completely out of character for Star. I might have expected that sort of hasty, shortsighted solution from season 1 Star, but after everything that's happened? Now, the stuff happening around that-particularly the conclusion to the Starco plot-I found enjoyable, but destroying magic was the main focus of the episode. If they had defeated Mina practically any other way, I would've enjoyed this finale so much more. Of course, that would likely require rewriting the whole episode, but I say that's worth maintaining its likability.
