My Adventures with Superman

The first two episodes of My Adventures With Superman captures the essence of the iconic superhero with familiar but fresh takes on supporting characters like Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen.

Although we've seen Kal El's origin numerous times (most of which have been amazing) My Adventures With Superman manages to reveal bits and pieces of the origin story throughout the first two episodes in a way that leaves the door open for future exploration of Krypton. Instead of dreading another retelling of how he came to Earth I'm looking forward to finding out more because of the "mystery" behind what Jor-El left him.

Seeing Clark, Lois, and Jimmy Olsen at start of their Daily Planet career has been fun to watch thanks to incredible cast and writing. The humor is witty and I love the relationship the three of them share. It's much better than drama that usually rifts the three apart in other iterations.

Lastly, I appreciate what has been setup narratively. New antagonists have been introduced but classic DC villains are bound to show up.

There's a lot of potential to explore the more hopeful, bright, and optimistic sides of the Last Son of Krypton that fans haven't seen in awhile. Hopefully My Adventures with Superman can continue to deliver!

It seems that the show may be challenging for individuals who are not familiar with watching anime. However, for those who are well-versed in the genre, there are numerous reasons to appreciate it. The series incorporates all the signature anime elements and conventions, which are often cherished by fans. In terms of content, the first two episodes serve as a strong introduction, and it is highly likely that subsequent episodes will only improve upon this foundation. I found the voice acting to be very pleasing, and the character design is also noteworthy. Overall, the show has the potential to captivate and engage viewers, especially those who are already fans of anime and Superman, this new representation really is a breath of fresh air for the character.

Although I can't say that I'm blown away by this series, but I most definitely disagree with the negative reviews. This show is just a pretty simple and fun entertainment. Perhaps it's a bit too childish for my grown-up tastes, but people tend to forget that not every superhero story needs to appeal to a "mature" audience. Most superheroes were made for kids, not grumpy adults! Plus, the show is not TOO childish, so even the adults (parents or grown-up Superman fans) may still find it to their liking.

It's been a long time since we had such a lighthearted story about Superman, since most of his recent movies/shows/videogames are pretty grim and turn him (or characters heavily inspired by him) into an antihero or even a villain. So I'm pleased to see the trend of "good guy Superman" making a return.

My Adventures with Superman does an excellent job of inventing the Man of Steel for a new audience. The anime inspirations make it visually unique and give it the opportunity to design epic battles in an already detailed world. The redesigns of some popular villains were all fresh and creative, while still maintaining an air of familiarity. Given the short runtime and episode count, there isn't much time to breath or build on specific scenes, but with the time it has, the team behind it do a fantastic job at building on the relationships around Clark. The voice actors come together in a way that feels like they are in the room with you and their louder than life expressions and attitude blend perfectly with the dramatic anime styling. Between Superman & Lois, My Adventures with Superman, and the anticipation of Superman: Legacy, being a Superman fan has never been better!!

There's only three episodes as of my writing this. But I am so excited to see Superman at his beginning!

Clark starting at The Planet at the same time as Lois and Jimmy is a perfect setup. They all get to grow together. Each of our main trio is unique and I'm looking forward to watching their character arcs as the show continues. I especially like the dynamic they've set up between Lois and Clark. It's perfect!

On another note, I absolutely love the animation style! It's different from what we've had before with other DC animated projects. The anime influence is obvious, but it's a fun change for the superhero.
