What do you guys see in this series? is it because it has good characters, story or something? I tried watching a few episodes of this way back and i never got into it.
hm, well I see a simple cartoon. cute and bright, not intense or very action-filled (except maybe the latest two-part episode), but tame.
i've never been entirely sure what got me into it, but perhaps it tugs on some nostalgia of old cartoons i watched as a kid.
for me, it's not so boring that i sit there drooling. i can laugh at their innocent puns and jokes, and enjoy watching them go through rather typical life experiences. and it also gives off a very joyful and happy vibe in many of the episodes, and i do know that feel definitely keeps me on board.
it's not so special, i think the reason it's so big is
because it is so simple there is so much to do with it on a fans point of view.
not everyone gets into it, some don't enjoy the perky and girlish themes it contains, among other things i can't remember to list. perhaps it doesn't contain the "essential" themes you have a taste for that keeps you tuned into it. some love movies because they have action, or romance, or comedy, while others won't watch them because of those themes. just a thought there.
Plot, animation quality, voice acting, personality depth, etc.
i disagree with the animation. i don't think anyone actually gives a stuff about animation when they are watching a TV show, unless it is so obviously terrible it's noticeable. same goes for the voice acting.
