[@KZFathom]

this show is an animator's heaven, honestly, james baxter taught them how to do smooth horse animation, the main character is animated with a different lineart signaling their separation from reality, it's never less than 24 fps probably (though that usually doesn't matter, it's just wonderful here) and so much attention is paid to the art i love it.

[@hazardouscereal9817]

Oh yeah, one of the studios animating this is MercuryFilmWorks who did Hilda and tangled and they always have great character animations

[@artmoryoo]

I didn't know James Baxter was involved but it makes sense because the animation was lovely !!

[@BingQilin]

JAAAAAAAAMES BAXTER!!!

[@genericname2747]

We stan James Baxter

[@Hey-Its-Dingo]

James Baxter wasn't involved to my knowledge. I think OP was just saying their love of James Baxter gave them a keen eye for animation fluidity. (If James Baxter was involved, hell yeah, but I don't recall seeing his name in any of the credits)

[@birdbird8364]

"That's a little terrifying for a land of rainbows and centaurs!" Yep that's pretty much it!

This show is a masterclass in tonal dissonance.

[@Saphira3441]

that was basicly my reaction, it went from this being goofy to WTF IS THAT

[@liathcat]

As someone who has had the creepy Nowhere King song stuck in their brain since they first watched the show, he has all my understanding.

Same! That song got me to watch the show, so glad I did

[@Lordylen]

@@YBPaladin That character is the only reason ım interested in the show xD

[@RPGLover87]

I loved the irony in Taurnado - as Horse is singing about how people need to take care of themselves and how she can make them stronger, it's WAMMAWINK who is silently leading them out of the Taurnado safely. SHE is making them stronger, while Horse is blindly losing everything that matters to her being an idiot. It also makes clear that in centaurworld everything is a centaur. EVERYTHING. Friend, foe and natural disaster. They all have a mind.

[@Meraxes6]

Yes! I also thought Horse came off like an adrenaline junkie, like she’s so brainwashed and damaged from war that she needs danger to feel normal. I’m interested in seeing how she deals with this in season 2, if we get one. Maybe now that she considers the safety of others she might not feel the same way about danger..

[@GlitterF-CK]

​@@Meraxes6there is only a chance that you get a notification for this. But, two years later, how do you feel about season 2?

[@allisongriffin1939]

[@katrinaketel7978]

I cried a bunch of times too.. I texted my partner while watching it like “This stupid kids show about centaurs is making me cry.” lol

They shoot tiny versions of themselves from their hooves! Where do they go? We never know. LOL I found that part hilarious who ever thought of that deserves a raise

[@SaucyKitty11]

Watch season 2

[@BBoy4040]

I'm glad we tied up THAT story arc!

[@sardonicus1739]

I never found the fact that they shoot tiny versions of themselves out of their hooves nearly as funny as the fact that the tiny versions of themselves then proceed to go into existential terror about their own existence and run away screaming. Something about that made me lose it.

[@1tiptip187]

@@sardonicus1739 ROFL Glad someone else put it that way. I was told to stop being "overly dark" when I was describing the show and described the shooting tiny versions of themselves from them hooves and described them as being created "already suffering from an existential crisis."

As soon as we watched this show the immediate feeling was 'Oh, it's gonna be cute then wind up as a horror show, gotcha'. I really hope you watch this one, it's goofy and cute and creepy and very very odd.

[@SnakeBytez_]

Yes yes! You should definitely record you watching the show! If you want a warning beforehand, because you aren't gonna be given one watching through on it's own, episode 8 "Ride The Whaletaur Shamen!" goes quite a bit into mental health, and can hit hard. I wasn't expecting it at all- Of course the show has it's subtle darker side, but that REALLY caught me off guard because WOW- They really did that in a kid's cartoon- Hopefully that warning helps anyone who comes across this comment. Centaurworld is a great show, and the songs are up on KZbin and Spotify. I dunno where else since I only use those two for music, but I'm guessing iTunes as well at least. I definitely recommend watching it! I'm gonna stop myself from rambling here now though, so yeah-

[@tomsparrow1823]

"Okay, Horse! Haven't gotten your name yet." No, you got it

This is one the best series for Bill to do, like it's cute, wholesome, and is a musical with Broadway talent like cmon

[@syabilaazri7834]

The fact that this show is made by the same woman who wrote season 4 finale of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic really show that she still got the touch of My Little Pony... also, our main Horse has the voice as Izzy from the G5 My Little Pony

Haha I was surprised after a lot of more-dramatic songs that this ended off with Comfortable Doug, but of course that one's a blast and it was lovely hearing you talk about it. Would love to see you watch and/or talk more Centaurworld, I think you'll have a blast with it. It's the bee's knees :)

[@BethJoyD]

This is how I got into this show, I watched a few of the songs, and then kept watching more until I said ok now I gotta watch this show!

[@iemherrera1263]

This show through me for a LOOP. The most I can compare it too is adventure time. It looks like rainbows on the outside but it has it's dark moments. But the comedy in this is just soooo good. Like Jeffrey (tree with legs) is the best. But this show is SOOO UNDERRATED and it makes me upset because...is this what we are coming to, where remakes get top priority and commercials while these gems just get buried. Like 12 forever that dove into the themes of growing up and change seemed like it was getting deeper in it's theme and character development Only for it to get x out. Now Netflix is more focus on ruining Winx club and trying to make TikTok dancers actors while ruining a classic romcom. I just hope this show survives, I PRAY for it too🙏.

[@chiptid]

ABSOLUTELY you should watch Centaurworld. The absolute tonal whiplash can be a lot to deal with sometimes but it's totally worth it for the amazing animation and story combined. I'm not usually a musical guy but this one was a real experience :]

[@somejellykid]

Comfortable Doug is my DUDE. His first line, i was like "hold up. Flula?" One google search later, yes Flula.

[@Flemmli1]

I honestly think the Taurnado is a nod to the Wild Hunt, a folkloric motive surprisingly common across many different cultures which basically explains the howling wind as an army/hunting party of ghosts you're adviced to stay away from, lock all your doors and windows and never to attract its attention or you might become part of it.

[@valekstormhowl4999]

Yoo I'm so glad more people are slowly checking out centaurworld. It's such a wonderful show made by people who clearly had no restrictions on what topics they wanted to cover and show absolutely benefited from it. From depression, loss, selfishness, arrogance, recklessness, learning to care about others, embracing change and being scared of it initially but learning to accept it, and more. It's so beautifully animated the music is excellent, and the voice acting is perfection. Zulius is my favorite by far.

At 1st I didn’t know what it was bc the horse wasn’t talking like in the clip and then Rider started singing. When it got silly I got nervous but it’s perfect. Loved it.

It's a great show - if nearly impossible to classify. I've been describing it as "what if Adventure Time was a Broadway musical" - which isn't a perfect analogy, but it's the best I've come up with.

Listening to these as just audio eithout the actually scenes would've been better tbh.
