School Daze - Part 1

This is the first episode to be aired since the 2017 movie and boy does it show! They actually have very nice allusions to that movie. Even though I myself wasn't a big fan of it, the fact that they make continuity so important shows how dedicated they are to the mythology. The most notable bits are the hippogriffs. It's weird how this works so much better as a TV show. Here we see a young yak, pony, hippogriff, dragon, changeling, and griffin meeting each other. What's great is how the lesson works.

It starts off by showing the lesson of how it's boring to do everything by the rules. The best part is probably how it seems ambiguous on its true message. At first, it seems to say that these kids don't like being together. It's then revealed they do, but they're still not that well off. I love how it tricks the audience into thinking there's a bigger conflict at the end. I recognized the Brain's voice as Chancellor Neighsay. ****
