I totally agree with u I think one of the greatest things about typically kids telivision is how it’s allowed to have Fun goofy, and or enjoyable characters, so that when something traumatic or horrible happens it feels a lot more impactful, than a typically an adult shows that are forced to always be dark and or depressing that u just get numb to it and becomes less interesting to watch And a lot of that can be said about the explosion popularity of super hero films, that used to be just for kids but is also mature enough to be enjoyed by adults

Spoilers for FMA Basically like what happened with Nina and how that episode was pretty light hearted until the end but they still sprinkled a few bread crumbs so that it’s not completely jarring

[@femoman]

Yeah, I personally disagree on the bit concerning the song numbers. yes, the Mysterious Woman's song near the end is the best song in the series just by sheer power and bombast, but there are tonnes more that I loved: Rider's lullaby is sweet and heartwarming every time you hear it, the Nowhere King's lullaby is terrifying, the Taurnado song is haunting and epic, Horse's song at the talent contest goes from a catchy dance number into a hard rock power ballad, even 'Where Does Food Come From?' is oddly soulful! And that song Horse and Rider sing when they reunite is just adorable. but hey, I'm a huge sucker for musicals and concept albums, so this show was made for me. I highly recommend it, and if you wanna give it a try, to get the full experience and really get a feel for it I insist you watch at least the first 3 episodes. It gives you everything: The overall tone, the overarching quest plotline, introduces all the characters.

I have the same opinion on Durpleton. He MIGHT get better if they give him an episode to shine- but so far he only works as the one setting the bar for stupidest to keep the others sounding competent by comparison.

[@shieldgenerator7]

i didnt realize this until my like third watch through, but Durpleton actually is a key component to the story. In episode 2, he convinces the herd to keep their promise to Horse. otherwise they wouldve turned back early to return to the dome. Then in episode 8, he stands in the bay in front of the whaletaur to keep her from leaving so that Wammawink can rescue Horse. He's not always helpful, but he does have his moments

[@battybuddy]

@@shieldgenerator7 Good point, didn't really think about that. I mean, it could have still worked without him, but I don't think any of the others are nice enough to have made that whole point.

I loved that scene and that episode in general. For me it showed the difference between high sympathy low empathy vs low sympathy high empathy. Horse has problems telling the emotional state of people around, let alone putting themselves in their shoes, this becomes clearly evident in episode 2 with how she was treating the herd and in this ep when she was pushing Wammawink when anyone could tell that something is wrong with her. However when it is explicitly shown to her what Wammawink is going through she was really compassionate and sympathetic towards her. Her anger towards the Tree Shaman was result of that compassion as she was angry on her behalf, not even caring or even forgetting that she might never get to back home. Compared to that we have Tree Shamans, who understand and know how you are feeling, they give you what you need and understand what you want. But they lacked the compassion and didn't even comfort a poor little orphan girl

How do I tell anyone it's good? How do I let people know that the candy-coated exterior is the most terrifying part? How do I explain that one of my favorite songs in the show was sung by a warhorse and a pink llamataur with separation anxiety? This show has cursed me with esoteric knowledge that I am forbidden from sharing, despite how desperately I want to let the world know what I have learned. Ancient forbidden magic removes my tongue and mind when I attempt to speak of it to the uninitiated, yet are returned to me when I cease.

Well... Adventure time alone has dark themes and undertones already. War, death, finn's depression etc.

this is one of those shows that i could rewatch infinitely as long as i have someone to drag along for the ride. and i definitely think some of the songs were bangers. quite a few of them literally gave me chills, and every time they brought back the "you're ok" song i almost cried. i really REALLY hope they do a second season. and hey be nice to durpleton, he's never done anything wrong in his life!

What a wild ride! Looking for season two because i fell in love with the characters and the insane creativity. I hate disney singing and musicals, but here it was okay somehow. 🦄❤️

[@serpentmaster1323]

If you ever figure out why you dislike disney and like this, please shot me a reply because I am dying to know how that happened! Do you have any other examples of musical shows you like/dislike/love/hate/tolerate? (Phineas and Ferb, Steven universe, MLP, Wander over yander, Hazbin hotel?) Although of all the musical shows Ive seen, this one feels the most natural (Ironically). They start singing completely unprompted by some unknown outside force. Its all raw. Every song is clearly happening for the characters, between the characters, and you feel like it would be that way weather we as the audience was there or not.

[@weebeegeenov3634]

@@serpentmaster1323 I think it’s because with Disney, things tend to get repetitive while with this show, the songs are so diverse and random but they work. You never know what kinda song you’re getting but somehow it still works.

[@serpentmaster1323]

@@weebeegeenov3634 I can see that- Not only does Disney generally stick to the same musical genera and type of emotional energy, the songs also generally hit the same story beats. In a way, there’s no variety. Thanks for your Ideas!

[@henrireiher9559]

As someone who loves cartoons in the animation community, looking back, I feel like this show has the potential to serve as a bridge for the divide on the topic of “Cal-Arts being an overused art form,” which has been going on for awhile.

[@TheCouchPotatoWatchesTV]

My favorite song/scene is probably the Taurnado, I just thought the whole scene with the song worked so perfectly and the taurnado itself was such a cool concept, this show was so amazingly creative, I loved it!

[@theanimegeneral]

I also enjoyed this, my hope is if there is a season two, we get more character growth for rest of the cast and maybe see more of that other world and what's going on over there.

[@peanut_butter_wizard1213]

I was bored last night and saw this show while browsing Netflix looking for something to watch, decided to give the first episode a shot, and then I binged the whole season. Centaurworld is like if one of the nightmares I had as a kid after secretly peeking during the Arc of the Covenant scene in Indiana Jones disguised itself as a Teen Titans Go style show animated by a studio where it's mandatory to take acid for every shift to come back and haunt me, but in the best way possible.

[@brumous9364]

"Angry diva is mad that he's back at his ex's place" Oh so I'm not the only one who thought that

[@Sootielove]

I really enjoyed this show, but I think you have to have a specific taste to enjoy it. The animation and designs are absolutely stellar. I've rarely seen such smooth and expressive animation. The characters a delightfully quirky and flawed in a way that's surprisingly not annoying and genuine. The musical aspect surprised me, but unlike other musical shows like Steven Universe, it felt more like the songs you sing to yourself when doing a task. There are some exceptions but most of the songs lack a distinct melody and it can work to sell the in-universe singing nature, but it also means that few feel like songs you'd actually sit and listen to. Overall, I'd describe the show's tone as an adult cartoon which didn't need to add anything explicit so it was rated TV-Y7. The characters, plot, and a lot of the humour feels like it's designed for an older audience, but they didn't need to add gore, swearing, or sex. It's kind of fascinating. I can see children enjoying this for sure, but the creators probably made it for themselves: adults who like cartoons

[@Daggoth65]

Loved the show, but the biggest letdown to me was when Horse started changing into one of them. I loved the Juxtaposition of Horse and the rest of the world being so different really made me fall in love with it. So I'm just worried i wont enjoy season 2 a much when it comes around. especially hurt that Horse changed into a Toon during the "Be yourself" song just seemed so Ironic like really.... She was being herself, a Strong Warhorse on a mission and bam... silly toon body now

[@nunyab-]

we’ll have to wait and see how they handle it in season two. i really loved horse’s original design and miss it dearly, but i’m digging her sideplot of learning that she can have more to her than just being a warrior. she can have parts of herself that are squishy and magical without losing her strength or the love of those around her. if they brought her og design back, it’d have to be done really carefully to not backtrack that message.

[@tonberry7744]

I love how he showed Sans for "Stronger than you" I think the I Undertale versions are more well known than Steven Universes original.

What if horse awakens a magic it that is the absolute antithesis to the nowhere king’s magic in season 2? An equally powerful but opposite force.

[@depressedteacupinc8494]

Ok i literally had to pause the video before binge watching third entire thing, AND I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED!!! Thank you for recommending this show, it’s so wacky and unique, I love it! And the musicals are a lovely touch as well

[@BlazeWolf9511]

Honestly, im in full agreement. This show is a trip and because of how specific all of the stylistic choices are. Both for the art, songs, ect. Your enjoyment is gonna depend on the individual specifically. Because this show doesn't feel like it has a specific audience in the way most other shows do.

[@YuugaoMegami]

Watching Horse's slow descent into acid trip, fever dream, musical number madness acceptance is one of my favorite things.

[@cloudbear393]

I fell in love with this show immediately due to the music and beautiful, and fell even more in love once I learned that not everything in this show is sunshine and rainbows, and in fact has a very dark story behind the facade of glitter and funny creatures. And another thing, The Nowhere King's lullaby is absolutely beautifully haunting. It's been stuck in my head since I first heard it.

[@namelessnavnls8060]

I'm a big fan of animation in general, especially smooth and pretty animation, so this show catches my eye. It's a bit brighter and more of an acid trip than I'd generally go for but.. I think I'll give it a shot. I'm also.. unironically a fan of centaur creatures.. Serious ones though. I feel like all of these designs were too cartoony and exaggerated to be my taste. But the normal horse looks amazing! And how can I _not_ give a dark humored show at least one chance. That's my kind of humor.

[@shepollie]

I just binged this and its actually better than i expected.

[@ghostspore3163]

I straight up picked this up because of the cover. Noticed the artstyle difference between horse and the rest and knew it was going to be neat. Not a musical person myself but I respect the art, replayed the taurnado scene repeatedly because that thing was so gloriously animated

[@sophieb7309]

I started this show at 1am just because the harsh contrast of depressing war setting vs cute childish art style in the trailer caught my eye, but I was hooked after the first episode and binged it through the night. I can’t wait for season 2!

[@Renkencen]

Personally the shows suprised me more way than one! Like from the trailer, I was under the impression that the horse was gonna be stuck in a centuar community. While horse wanted to escape and find a way back home, Llamawink is trying to keep her in with an undertone that it's not "safe" outside the community. Nope, they all left their safe dome in episode one! Also oh man the season 1 ending with that mystery lore dump! I felt like I should of seen it coming but I was not paying attention of that creepy song that was playing (the plant and those cat centuar were singing) throughtout the season! Likewise I don't really like the cast except for Llamawink and Horse due to them having that dymanic and aswell started to cared for each other at the end but I'm all in for the lore now!

[@lunacy5772]

Wammawink and horse are definitely the most developed in the cast and watching them argue with their opposing, but both valid, views just gives spice in their relationship and adds more depth for when the two come to a compromise. They are definitely the best part of the show too imo, oh and the lore of course. (tho i oddly also care for the klepto.... idk why)

[@shieldgenerator7]

[@lunacy5772]

@@shieldgenerator7 iirc light on someones eyes depicts positive emotions, hope, joy, hapinness and the light fading is the removal of those things. One great example i could think of is that one pinkamina episode, as pinkamina sanity grew worsened, the light in her eyes, faded.

This is one of those shows, where you watch it on your phone by yourself, and instantly exit it out as soon as anyone approaches. But then continue as soon as they leave.

Idk if it's just me and my gay heart but the songs where ladies were signing to each other about how much they care for one another really pulled my heart strings. There aren't a lot, if any, deeply emotional love songs two women sing to one another.

[@sleepylionking1103]

This is the most hilarious review ever. This show is my favorite and I can’t get enough of the accurate jokes. Anyway Zulius aka Gay Zebra and Durpleton aka Himbo are my favorite character I always find myself repeating the entire soundtrack. Kimiko Glenn is the fucking BEST in this show, man. This show was genuinely a huge surprise and that’s the biggest reason why I love it.

[@cloudinthehead8054]

I liked this show! When I saw the trailer I said that, for me at least, it would have been either actually bad or surprisingly good. I'm glad I found it to be the latter. As of now it's not my favourite thing and there were things I rolled my eyes at from time to time, but overall, I actually really enjoyed it and I'll be looking forward to season 2! As of now the nowhere king reminds me of the beast from OTGW, but I do believe there's more to him and I'm curious to get to know more about his past! One thing I find to be interesting is how some people that have only seen the trailer assume the world of centaurs is just going be lame and uninteresting, while they say they want to see more of the cool, angsty world where Horse came from, which is like, the mindset Horse herself had before actually getting to know the centaurs. Idk I thought that was kind of funny.

[@ninaarandomhunterofartemis962]

Did anyone else think that this show was gonna be some silly 12 forever thing, and then ended up crying, laughing, screaming and falling in love with it? It might just be a me thing (I own a horse who I love more than anything else in the world but who I can never jump again because she has ring bone, so horse and rider's bond hit me right in the heart)

[@Mossy_Forest2]

Something I enjoy so much about the music of this show (and forgive me because I don't really know the terminology) is the reprises and use of musical themes. especially "fragile things" and "riders lullaby". they're set up as songs in the first episodes and the melodies and lyrics are repeated so many times in emotional scenes that when Wammawink sang "fragile things (reprise)" in episode 8 it completely broke me. and I didn't cry when horse sang riders lullaby when her and rider met at the end but it did have an impact. also "who is she? (reprise)" is such a beautifully composed mix of throwbacks to other songs and themes with new ones too. can u tell im hyperfixated on this show.

I thought this was going to be an Adventure Time knockoff but I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed this show. And the animation is spectacular.

[@lalas181]

One of the best points of comparison for this show imo is the Jim Henson movie Labyrinth, weirdly enough. It's glittery, has a determined female protagonist dealing with a magical world to try and reach some sort of family member, has catchy songs, is weird amounts of dark compared to what you initially expected, and contains both "grown-up" humor and basic kids' show/movie humor like fart jokes. Reading through the cast list for the first time for both Labyrinth and Centaurworld also give the same "wait what is THIS PERSON doing in this thing??? What???? That's wild!" reaction. The funny magic hippotaur is voiced by the OBC actress for Angelica in Hamilton, and I was one week ago old when I found that out. Over-all, I think a good demographic to recommend this to is "people who enjoyed Labyrinth". Whether it's a five-year-old Labyrinth fan or one who saw Labyrinth back when it was originally in theaters, there's a good chance they'll be down for watching all of season one.

[@mishal2401]

I thought I was going to hate Glendale before I watched the show, the same way I hate Big Nose from Owlhouse despite loving that show, but honestly I loved Glendale's presence, it surprisingly worked and wasn't annoying. Durpleton on the other hand... Yeah, fuck Durpleton, he is one hell of a weak link in such an otherwise strong lineup of main characters. If I had to figure out a way to retool Durpleton I'd suggest on focusing on his kindness. The one time I distinctly remember the character working for me was when he was worried about Horse not getting enough breakfast. He sounded very genuine and I think it his character was about such simple, authentic acts of kindness he'd work really well. And drop the talking farts altogether, it's trying too hard and the exact opposite of funny. (in an otherwise hilarious show)

[@SapphireRavenmoon]

This show is crazy but I knew from the first trailer that I would love the hell out of it and I was right xD I love how ridiculous it is, how you never know what to expect with each episode, and I loved the music though I like some songs more than others, I want to say everyone should go watch it but it won't be everyone's cup of tea just cos of how ridiculous it is

[@cookievampiress]

The nowhere king is personally my favorite. I did not expect a villain that scary out of a show with rainbows and fart jokes

[@mmmghool]

This show is great. I went in blind and after loving the first episode watched an episode a day. There's a lot going every episode and each one tells a great contained story while still moving the overall plot forward so it felt better than binging. Loved all the songs too. I hope it gets more seasons.

[@AngryNerdBird]

[@susansoltau7710]

I gave this series a chance. First impressions were that the centaur characters were just too strange to my liking. I loved the war torn world and story concept on that side of things. The character designs and art style is pleasing to the eyes. I love the rider's desing especially. Centaurworld itself took a lot of getting used to, but it grew on me enough to watch the rest of season 1. Still find many aspects of it a bit too weird/cringe to handle at times, but I did fall in love with the war hourse character and the randomness of the giraffe-taur just became my favorite though I kind of fallen in love with Zulius's personality the most. The story definitely peaked me interest a bunch at the introduction of the Nowheree King. I love his eerie theme and Wendigo like appearance. I look forward to seeing more of him personally.

[@elianamears1260]

I definitely agree with all of your points about the characters. Zulius is amazing, Wammawink and Horse are good leads, and Durpleton is the character I'd cut out if I had to choose. I also really like Glendale, but that Might be my love of weird klepto characters.

[@check2765]

What caught me off guard with this show was how good the soundtrack is. I like creepy music and they made sure to limit it until it was needed. It had more of an impactful when something eerie was playing. The Nowhere King lullaby is the most terrifying song I've heard in a show for young audiences since the nowhere king is pretty much the grim reaper.
