It's a nice touch the human witch is in the same style as the Centaurs artistically, or at least clashes with Ryder's design. So Centaurification affects humans too. It's a little touch that I like.

I don't think that's right. It would make perfect sense since she can use magic, but she looks pretty normal to me. If there's a difference in her artstyle it's a lot more subtle than it was for Horse.

Also yeah, Centaurworld has no right being as good as it was.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

Unfortunately, you can't screenshot Netflix. But 10:03 remaining on the last episode you can see she's shaded differently. Ryder has heavier colors whereas the witch is flat. She also has pupils, her details are slightly more angular and her lines are softer. She's clearly effected by Centaurworld's effect.

On the Cataur episode of Centaurworld: Does anyone else think that the stage transforming during "Who is She?" was Horse tapping into her centaurworld magic in a big way? The cats would have had no way of knowing to prepare that kind of thing in advance given SHE didn't even know what was going to happen. Or at least maybe the mechanisms already existed for prior acts and she just made them activate.

One thing that I thought Centaurworld did well was balancing the stupid jokes with actual interesting ideas, like in episode 2 there a some bathroom humour that starts out poorly with Glendale stepping in poop for no reason (but the magic bathroom bush was an amusing idea that took it a step further) but the episode is overall saved by the other moments like Horse's fear of forgetting Rider's face and the cool setpiece of the Taurnado

Similarly, Turpleton's talking farts would not have been funny if they weren't translated after episode 3. THAT elevated the joke.

I'm enjoying it thus far, especially Auggie Doggy and Doggie Daddy. I also appreciate the dynamic they have going with Yogi, Cindy and Boo Boo; particularly the way they avoid the cliché "The guys are the goofy, wacky ones who get into all the funny hijinx, while the lady is the competent mom who rolls her eyes at the wackiness and is boring". Cindy's definitely the leader of the trio, but she's just as deranged and likely to cause mayhem as Yogi.

Yogi is basically Doctor Homer Simpson while Cindy is pretty close to early Princess Bubblegum.

If there's one criticism that I have right now for the current released batch of episodes, it's either that there's not quite enough Yogi, Cindy and Boo Boo or that there's disproportionately too much of Auggie Doggy and Doggie Daddy.

Only two episodes in and I think I have to agree regarding Doggie Daddy, they're leaning a bit too hard on how over protective he is of his daughter when it's not really all that funny, the bits where he's instead overly proud of his daughter like in the first episode regarding her terrible earworm of a song works much better

Doggie Daddy's overprotective dad schtick works for me mostly because if Augie's reaction to it, or rather her lack thereof. Other shows would probably have Augie be either combative towards her overbearing father or be sheltered to the point of dysfunction, but the show itself goes in a different direction by having her really love and care for her dad but also be completely amenable to being independent as well. She just happily seems to go with the flow.

So it's an interesting dynamic to me that DD is hyper-protective of Augie while at the same time being a completely and total wreck who falls to pieces when she's not around, while she pretty much just casually adapts to whatever situation she's thrust into.

Jellystone is Chowder as hell and I love it. The Top Cat episodes were the best. Really dig the new takes on the characters Cindy and Top Cat's gang are the obvious one, but Jabberjaw and Loopy are real great too.

Hope season 2 has a Johnny and Haji focused episode. Also it's been long enough it's time for Scrappy Doo's redemption.

I honestly have no idea if they'd ever bring in the Scooby gang. Especially as it'd potentially coincide with the Velma series that's being produced. Otoh, Birdman is free and I'd hope they pull a low-key reference to Attorney At Law. The well is deep for obscure HB properties to riff on or through without even having to pull on the other well known bits that they haven't done already. Heck, there's still one other mystery solving team with a dog that they haven't referenced yet that isn't Scooby-Doo. (yes, there are three HB mystery solving teams with a dog)

Honestly Top Cat and his gang could probably support their own show again, they have the charisma for it.

I always love clusterfuck humour, like the whole mess of fixing the houseboat and getting jammed together after panicking about glue - "Now *we're* the Friend-ship!" It's just that kind of chaos that I enjoy. Also in the third to last episode, Wamawink's merman porn collection and bodypillow that she made Glendale draw for her was hilarious.

Wammawink is a delight and the show's great. At first it seems like it's gonna squander the cool, weird premise on fart jokes, but after two or three episodes it quickly escalates to doing the cool, weird premise justice along with fart jokes.
