It was one of the first shows we watched all the way through. (Without him watching ahead.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"943\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bba7cf0b5d2a604112b21cc5cea639b97a8a0a25r1-943-500v2_hq.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19906\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bba7cf0b5d2a604112b21cc5cea639b97a8a0a25r1-943-500v2_hq.jpg 943w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bba7cf0b5d2a604112b21cc5cea639b97a8a0a25r1-943-500v2_hq-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bba7cf0b5d2a604112b21cc5cea639b97a8a0a25r1-943-500v2_hq-768x407.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At first, the show put me off. The interesting yet disturbing animation, the use of 3d models as well as 2d.&nbsp; the pace and ideas for episodes. It all nudged me in the wrong direction. But it quickly became one of my favorite shows the more I watched. I really like the dynamic between Charlie and Pim. And the conversation\/dialogue between all the characters feels real and genuine.&nbsp;<br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bgf8f8f8-flat750x075f-pad750x1000f8f8f8.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19908\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bgf8f8f8-flat750x075f-pad750x1000f8f8f8.jpg 750w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bgf8f8f8-flat750x075f-pad750x1000f8f8f8-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I really like Charlie, I love his melancholic attitude toward everything. I like how he&#8217;s the most cool-headed of the group, and that he&#8217;s kind of just&#8230;. there. I also really like his character style. I also think he&#8217;s the funniest character personally. His voice is really funny.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"410\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/R.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19909\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/R.jpg 730w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/R-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I find Pim&#8217;s character really interesting as well. The colors really mix together and his attitude is really up beat and exciting.&nbsp; I always love the 100 vs 0 personality tropes. Pim always trying to keep things bright, while Charlie is more of a realist.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"439\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/OIP-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19910\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/OIP-7.jpg 474w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/OIP-7-300x278.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 85vw, 474px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>He kind of just really freaks me out. At first, when my roommate was showing me this show, I thought it was a meatcanyon video, by the way this character acted and talked.&nbsp; Yeah, I&#8217;d rather keep talking about him a little short.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/b5f87760b85982d0bfbcf4e543765a34.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19911\" width=\"346\" height=\"389\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than Charlie, Allan Red is my other favorite character. I really like the way he acts and goes about his job. I&#8217;m glad he finally got some more screen time in season 2 of the show.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"498\" height=\"498\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/glep-smiling-friends.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19912\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Little green guy. He&#8217;s so small and awesome. I like that he speaks gibberish too and that everyone else can understand him. And I forgot to mention, but there was a scene in season 2 where they showed all his information and it basically proved that the show was set in the year like, 300.&nbsp;<br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"266\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/OIP-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19913\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/OIP-8.jpg 474w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/OIP-8-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 85vw, 474px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, that&#8217;s all.
