A Critical Review :

This is a review of the episode ITESLF, and not with episode 10 making it better.

This episode feels empty compared to the other episodes. I can see why however, as the orignal plot was split into 2 episodes. Hopefully, we can see that episode 10 will help stitch together the missing story. On its own however, it's just, empty.

First their is a major imbalance in the focus of the characters. Recently we have only seen the grand slam charaters develop, with the alliance, ballon, and mic being the main culprits. Don't get me wrong, I like these charaters, but I want to see more of the Bright lights have a little more interaction. I think that episode 10 will focus on the bright lights more judging on the screenshots and previews.

Next is the plot itself, once again. This is a review on the EPISODE ITESLF. And It's incredibly disorganised. The elimiation doesn't show up until almost HALF WAY through the episode. Now, I understand that this episode was split into 2 parts, and that this would still be in the first act if both stories were put together. But it really feels like it's being rushed with no real closure. The ending felt really sudden, with no real ending. I get its a cliffhanger, but most cliffhangers still make sure the certain plot it's trying to tell is completed well. This doesn't. I liked tacos appearance here, she has a really good voice actor and is charming and funny.

In fact, One thing that's really good with the writing is the charaters are spot on. While It lacks on other characters (bright lights) the ones they do is REALLY charming and complex. Ballons moment with OJ was beautiful, charming and really well written. This show has a lot of great morals here. In fact, there's kinda too many. But that's really a nick-pick.

The animation was also incredible. The simple design of the charaters are really pushed here. We get new mouths, expressions and emotions you don't usually see in a object show. These guys know what their doing in the animation department.

There are a lot of good things about the episode, great charaters, good animation, but the writing was off. It felt really disorganised and empty, with no real satisfying ending. It's a good episode, but it's a lot weaker Without its other part.

STORY: 4/10 ANIMATION: 9/10 CHARATERS: 9/10 OVERALL: 7/10
