User Reviews

I can't summarize in one line

Delta state is an intriguing show. Some of it is downright strange. What keeps bringing me back is the animations! Some of that stuff is downright wicked. The characters facial expressions are extraordinarily realistic, which is rare to see in a cartoon. Sure, you can make "Aladdin"(TM) grimace or "Garfield"(TM) smile, but how many cartoon characters can pull off a "whaddya gonna do?" shrug? Or a realistic dumbfounded look, without the giant bug-eyes? The story is kinda interesting, though not totally original (but what is nowadays?), but the characters are interesting enough (especially Philip) to make you want to turn into future episodes to see what develops. The voice acting is above standard, even if what they say doesn't always match their lip movements. And the icing on the cake - it's Canadian! I love it!
