Great Cartoon Based On A Video Game
Cuphead is a celebrated video game, praised for being hand-drawn while said to be hard as nails. The game is so popular, we get a cartoon on Netflix called The Cuphead Show.
Basically, like the game it's based on, The Cuphead Show invokes the element of the golden age of cartoons, as after the amazing theme song, each episode opens with its own title card (designed like the old time Looney Tunes and Walt Disney ones), and the animation is basically as vintage-looking as those while still being digitally animated, as each episode shows Cuphead and his brother, Mugman, getting into various misadventures on the Inkwell Isles. Cuphead is the impatient star who decides to do stuff leading to such misadventures, despite the objections of the wise and understanding Mugman, who at the end, decides to go with it anyways, usually leading the two to danger, with villains like The Devil, boxing frogs Ribby and Croak, and King Dice, while meeting new friends like Miss Chalice.
This is actually a good cartoon. The voice acting is good, the humor is on par with the classics the game it's based on takes inspiration for. If there are a couple of things I don't like, it's the fact the final episode basically ends the season on a cliffhanger (which is basically annoying) and some of the episodes I do not like the plot of.
