Watching **KIPO AND THE AGE OF WONDERBEASTS** for the first time | SEASON 3 - NO I'M NOT OKAY

I THOUGHT watching Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts for the first time was a good idea.... now I just don't know.
I need to have words with the writers of this show. Season 3 really had the audacity.
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts is an animated television series created by Radford Sechrist, adapted from his 2015 webcomic Kipo. The series is produced by American company DreamWorks Animation Television and animated by South Korean studio Mir.
The young adult animated series follows a girl called Kipo Oak, who is searching for her father after being forced to flee from her burrow, and must explore the post-apocalyptic surface world ruled by mutated animals to find him. Along the way, she befriends human survivors Wolf and Benson, and the mutant animals Dave and Mandu.
The series has been critically acclaimed for its design, characterization, music, world-building, voice acting, and diversity. The series is particularly notable for its representation of LGBT and characters of color.

Just for the full circle moment: Dave: "The Earth is not flat" Stephanie: * _dies again_ *

[@thebestofstephx]

Pretty much :)

[@batzdoartz]

That was a beautiful circle 🥹

Was it a flat circle or sphere?

Kipo, She-Ra, Owl House, we live in such a great time of really good western animation shows.

@@pippidraws7710 and Steven Universe (although the first 20 episodes are a bit slow and weird)

[@manuba_]

I'd like to add The Dragon Prince to that list too if you don't mind

[@asn1445]

And I'd like to add Hilda, infinity train, ducktales 2017, clone wars and primal

[@pixiequeen7148]

Does Hilda count too?

[@ruthhernandezalmeida2490]

Season 3 is so sad but so goed at the same time

[@aj_2_clean77]

I agree

[@jordandavenport5784]

This show had real stakes and real losses. It doesn't talk down to the intended audience just because they're kids. They can take it, and that mutual respect makes a masterpiece.

[@MillyKKitty]

Fun fact! Originally it was going to be Amelia's brother pulling her down into the water instead of her just sinking. A regret, a guilt or hers.

[@victorlannister5606]

“Fun fact”

[@graave8473]

that would have been heartbreaking.....i love it i'm all for angst

[@Maan514]

**ahem** PG

[@GhostWhatcher]

dammit the yumyan scene made me cry again

[@barroslucasc]

I cried so much when yumyan got "cured". Also cried s lot on that fight where some other ones got "cured" as well

[@Rabid_Nationalist]

Yea..

[@pxgzcookie]

I 😊 swear 😢 I BALLED ⚽️ MY 🎉 EYES 👀 OUT 😭

[@chainsawboy2388]

YUMYAN OWNS YOU ALL!!!!! 😢😢😢

[@thetransfolkwitch8650]

This show came out in 2020 and ended in 2020. The creators did soooo good for being rushed. It was beautiful. It was so needed during this pandemic tbh.

[@limburgishmapping7166]

The unfortunate side-effect of that is however that it didn't build up a large fandom which means unless there is a revival there likely won't be any more Kipo content despite the willingness of its creator to make more.

[@boardtoonsguy]

Hello Stephanie! I realize you'll probably need a break from shows after this season, but still here I am suggesting more shows for you to watch. 1.) Infinity Train is a great philosophical show with complex themes and interesting lore. It's a bit heavy though and needs write mood to watch. The fourth and final (😭😭😭) season has just premiered on HBO max. 2.) Amphibia is a great show too. It doesn't shy away from the complex parts of being friends and family and is playing long game with its plot points. The first season is available at Disney+, and the second one will finish airing May 1st and (knowing Disney) will be available to stream a month after. 3.) Another great show is The Owl House. It raises the themes of acceptance in society and challenges social norms. It currently has only one season and it's available on Disney+. Thank you for your reactions Stephanie!

[@hooty3884]

YES I LOVE ALL THESE SHOWS

[@GhostWhatcher]

second this!!

[@rafateixeira2097]

Yeah! I was going to suggest Amphibia. The pacing is a bit slow, but when the plot's on screen, honey... IT'S FIRE

[@lakesmistakes1513]

YES- These are all in my top 5 favorite shows so I’d love for her to watch them-

[@sampines5494]

Another show I’d recommend is Tangled the Series, if she’s seen Tangled.

[@HakumeiKira]

This show brought me joy during last year, it made everything more colorful and awesome, Kipo is one of the best cartoons I have ever seen. Period.

[@Nick-eu5lb]

The creator wanted to create a Kipo movie and many more sequels and spin-offs but Netflix didn't pick them up. Spread the word!!

[@soltheshinydrifblim7183]

I'm pretty sure that's false. From what I heard he's said this series was supposed to end here, maybe with a few minor spin offs later on, but nothing concrete.

[@trolleyfan]

"Who broke this show?" You *asked* for some "drama this season" - can't really complain they gave it to you. Along with some of the other suggestions for future reactions, may I suggest "Final Space?"

[@mothmoss118]

Season 3 final was the saddest thing I've ever watched. I couldn't even watch it a second time it was so devastating. All my fave characters are still 'gone' qnd i... I'm just going to cry in a corner.

[@Sweetingtea]

Stephanie: I’m so saaaaad! Dahlia: Why are you so sad? Lol.

[@Potato-1423]

i wasn't okay after this season either omg

[@kalebbailstorm9733]

This was honestly one of the cartoons that really surprised me with how good it was, To me, it's one of those legendary amazing shows that will always be a staple, up there with Avatar the Last Airbender. It's just so good, so emotional, and has such a great ship between Benson and Troy, some lgbt representation, so good. The laughs, the emotion, it was so good. And yeah, the other mutes being 'cured' forever is so sad, but I love that they weren't ever forgotten, and you can see them there, being taken care of. They are just as much heroes of that world as any of those other mutes who risked everything to go to P.R.O.M. Love your reaction Steph, can't wait to see what else you watch.

[@eliscoby3242]

Ever since she watched season 1, I knew she was gonna freak out about him being cured. He is an amazing character.

[@lorettabes4553]

My only gripe is that Scarlemange died. I felt like it was unneeded and it would have been a better choice to leave him alive. But I do know the writers were pretty split on the decision themselves.

[@chainsawboy2388]

I’d imagine his death was probably wanted considering how much he represented to humanity, even if he agrees to never control people again it’s still something he is capable of doing and wouldn’t breed anything other than fear.

[@user-de8zk5nw1w]

If you loved Kifo and Shi-Ra you will love Infinity Train, this is such a good series

[@Jeetaruey]

Yes! Infinity Train is so good.

[@valekstormhowl4999]

I will always stan supportive dads like troys dad and kipos dad.

[@joegallagher5956]

I was so emotionally drained binging this season from Yumyan that I wasn't as affected by Scarlemagne. Yumyan straight broke me when it happened and the following scenes had me ugly crying...

[@eclipse4161]

She answered my prayers xD

[@dndtabletopcreations4037]

I was very similar in reaction when I first watch it. When yumyan was turned “normal” it broke me because he was my favorite character as well as how Scarlamagne had a redemption. When he said “Leave my sister alone!” That solidified my love for his character and made his end even more heartbreaking. I being the emotional sack I am, spent a good 2-3 hours crying and drinking water.

[@ad4mesm3r]

This is legitimately the 1st show that made me cry for an hour or two. I love it so much.

[@chrisbertucio9779]

Another good animated show on NETFLIX to check out would be Hilda.

[@RichardKing79]

You're the only other person I've seen recommend this and I'm so glad someone else did! It's such a great show!

[@bunkymartian1652]

YUMYAN OWNS YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!! I'm crying

[@Aleksandrabezn]

Please watch Carmen Sandiego

[@iloveanime4688]

Love Carmen sandiego

[@Glaceonmon]

Infinity train please 🙏

[@pebble2054]

I highly recommend Hilda, it’s on Netflix and it’s good. Not as good as Kipo, but that’s an extremely high bar

[@beesmith5379]

I loved the show and your reactions. I too was surprised at how definitive the ending was. It brought so much realism to the series. The music was crazy, I wish I produced all of that music.

[@coryneff7048]

*Kipo Theme in the background Woooooooo

[@thebestofstephx]

Its so good!

[@crafty_creature]

So glad you enjoyed Kipo! I would recommend Tangled the Series! Has a great story, characters and songs. Starts right after the film with the pilot 'Tangled Ever After' and then consists of 3 seasons!

[@KronoManiac]

At first glance i didn’t think much of that show, then when i finished it, it’s become one of my favorite shows ever

[@bleujay6127]

If you haven't watched it I highly recommend the Netflix adaptation of Carmen Sandiego. You will not be disappointed. Btw, I freaking love your videos!

[@kyleegirl4416]

I love this show I’m so sad it’s gone😭

[@dinpinguim]

It's just so good to see your reactions! It's like I'm watching the show for the very first time. I had so much fun watching your videos. Thanks for that! :)

[@MaliahasnoOps]

I’m so glad you liked this show! I watched it three time through already.

[@coryneff7048]

I recommend Voltron Legendary Defender. I started watching it expecting it to be dumb or bad but I'm on season 2 and it's pretty amazing so far

[@yadi4649]

i wouldn't recommend it. as someone who's seen all 8 seasons it gets really bad in writing and character development.

[@seankwok2082]

Recommendation is Hilda, it's a great show exploring change of environment in so many great ways.

[@kagenoo1084]

I went into season three with no knowledge that it was the last season so it broke my heart when they basically killed yum-yin, then they had the mute massacre, then they killed hugo, then I realized that the show was over. This season was so sad, and sooooooo gooood

[@AlmostSkillfull]

It's so cool seeing how much Stephanie's changed since watching Avatar, Korra, Dragon Prince, She-Ra, and now Kipo. Like you can really see the influence they've had on her. It's so neat!

[@konoaricao]

a Netflix series that really surprised me with how good it is because on the surface it just looks like a little kids show but trust its really good especially in later seasons is Hilda ;D

[@-i_own_you_-]

You should definitely React to Steven universe After this, it's a good show, brings ALOT like Alot of viewers! And it's beautiful

[@boardtoonsguy]

I'm all here on it. It's my second favourite after She-Ra.

You should watch a series of unfortanute events or the owl house! Both are really great :) love your vids 💕

[@sedrickcarmine2021]

When I realized the song scarlamane was playing was Yumyans song, pain, all the pain

[@termitesc.aardwolf3644]

The scene at 8:41 gives me flashbacks to that Adventure Time episode where Princess Bubblegum hands a baby over to Lemongrab and he screams about how gross it is.

[@Singleton292]

The only thing I love about to this ending is that they used the catchy intro for the ending song

[@cassidygiven]

YOUVE GOTTA REACT TO INFINITY TRAIN !! the last season just dropped on HBOmax :) love your vids!

I suggest you react to shows like Owl house and Amphibia, as well as the Hobbit films (prequels to lotr)

I’m sooo excited!!!

As soon as you came on screen I saw that dramatic lipstick, Beautiful

Kipo is an amazing show, it will never grow old, just like ATLA and The Dragon Prince If you want another magnificent show, just as good as Kipo, please please watch Trollhunters *0* There is no way to describe just how good it is, and it deserves so much more attention T_T

You have really perfected that Mermista *”UUUGGGHHH!!!”*

it would be great if you react to Voltron legendary defender its a good show (for me) in my opinion love you vids

[@mochii_dxrling8605]

Steph during most of this season: YUMUANNNNNN!

[@otterem]

I literally cried when they were getting “cured” 😢😢

[@Noct31]

SIDENOTE: "Sugar" by MYBADD (the song Kipo and her Mom dance to together) is a legit banger.

[@gilianegameryt]

i on brazil AND THE SEASON 3 IS NOT HERE YET I WANT IT I REALLY REALLY WANT IT NOWWWWW

[@MFJAKERS]

Youve been doing alot more movie reactions lately, and if you are interested/haven't seen it, Good Will Hunting is an amazing movie worth reacting to. It is heartbreaking, heartwarming, and just overall one of the best coming of age/feel good movies ever. Love the videos and keep up the good work!

[@thevoid6596]

Okay but like. A show with you as the main character would be incredible, especially a cartoon, with the way you react to things. I'd watch the crap out of a show with you as the main character

[@surroundedbyidiots1023]

I think you should watch Infinity train next!

[@spadeas49]

If I had any shows to suggest, apart from the classic Owl House or Amphibia as often suggested here, I would say: 1: Ducktales: Finished in three seasons and which brings back many memories to those who knew the Dysney series of the time (Ducktales, Darkwing Duck, Chip and Dale ect ect). 2: Trollhunters: Saga almost finished (just a movie to be released), it's CGI like How to train a Dragon and based on an idea by Guillermo del Toro. 3: Rise of the TMNT: A series primarily based on "fun", but which has great times, great action scenes and which revisits the lore of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles like no other series has done. Only two seasons and one movie to come. But hey, before that, rest and I wish you a good continuation from France ^^.

[@masudkhanartist8009]

ashes to ashes from episode six is geniunely such a banger

[@poadstudios6000]

Love kipo wish they make some type of continuation ❤️

[@AmanZingh]

City of ghost is a great show you should try it, it’s an animated mockumentry, it’s not a horror show it’s a kid friendly show with amazing visuals and very cute cast, it’s episodic and each episode is focused on cultures we know little to nothing about.

[@ElRemochas]

After this, watch the owl house. It's really good.

[@jadamiller7485]

There was a Buick invasion ad, and I thought I saw blood spatter.

[@hannyc06]

You should really react to the show infinity train if you can, it just got cancelled recently so the more attention the series gets the more chance for a possible future renewal! :)) *But it's very dark so trigger warning for themes such as divorce, death and guilt

[@16moons]

Another great show to try checking out would be Infinty Train, on HBO MAX. It's fairly short but so worth the time.

[@Jaydendpool]

i loved this kipo stuff :D

[@Merc4ya]

I don’t know if you watched it yet but if not, You should start watching Hilda! It’s a very good and beautifully animated show with its visuals and stories!

[@mockingjayrising6428]

song and lio is basically angella and micah if it had a happy ending

[@phoenixamaro7677]

If you have not watched infinity train please react to it. This is such a wonderful show with great characters and great story’s. Its anthology so very season is different with new characters. The forth and final season has just dropped and if more people talk about it and watch it we can save it. I love this show and I know a lot of others do to and we would love to hear your thoughts on it.

[@Kip810]

Well we animals and we are animals right? So why can’t mutes eat mutes?

have you reacted to final space? its super good

Hey Stephanie you should watch the show Trollhunter on Netflix and it has two spinoff shows 3below and wizards

[@EnderKL]

On Netflix a show called “The Umbrella Academy” is amazing, however it is live action and more directed to late teens, compared to ATLA, Kipo, Etc But it’s really good, LGBT, Fiction and really cool

OMG YES! I also recommend Lucifer!!

Can you watch Tangled: The Series?? It's soo much better than you would think

What about Carmen Sandiego?

[@ok_plenty5749]

You should probably watch Infinity Train. It's amazing in almost every way possible. There are 4 books out currently, so you would have something to keep you entertained for a while. It may not continue due to Cartoon Network and HBO being dumb, but as long it gets great publicity it will likely continue. #Renewinfinitytrain.

I hope you react to Infinity Train some day! There are four books, each one has 10 episodes and they're approx 11 minutes long. :)

[@Fuzunga]

Honestly, it was weird to me that they didn't fix the cure because we know from Hugo that they already figured out how to mutate animals. Could be that the information was destroyed with the notebook, and it did take like 3,000 attempts, but they had five years and some knowledge already of how to do it. Seems like they didn't even try...
