Let's clarify something - it's a positive review. I'm not saying that the show doesn't have flaws, and I'll mention them later, but mostly, I'll be praising things.
So, let's get this started!
The first thing I got something to say is the animation. The action is really enjoyable, movements are very clear, and character designs are cool for the most part. The style reminds me of DCAU movie "Justice League: Doom". I even bet, they both were animated by same team!
The most important thing in the show is the writing. And it's perfect! On every single episode at start I was thinking "What happened? Explain!", and at the end it was "All right, what a ride! What's gonna happen next?". But I have to warn you - if you didn't spoil yourself (which you should totally don't have to do) the show will catch you off guard. Multiple times. Weisman & Co. know how to manipulate you. You always have a feeling that villains are step ahead of Team, but they satisfy you with good fight or new clue. That keeps you 'till the very end. The character development of core team is fun to watch, and I think they succeed at making this many chars unique and likeable, even if for some (Rocket, La'gann) it took longer then it should.
Now for annoyances - first, designs and VO's of Joker and Riddler are terrible. Thankfully, they appear not for long. Second - the time-skip of second season. When I first saw what happened I hated it and dropped the show. Too much time have passed, too many questions unanswered, too many plot-holes created. I was able to overcome it after recent YJ spree (and BTW, I'm really satisfied with answering and plot-hole fixing thing!) but the cut is too deep. I just don't understand this decision.
And last, but not least - Why the hell did CN cancelled the show?!. Second season ended on a freaking cliffhanger, a lot more questions appeared, and they cancel it? Really? Just when things started to get real intense, when YJ got a huge loyal fanbase and the show itself is a river of money they cancel it?! It's just too abrupt to end it here... I blame it on Weisman's salary.
It hooks you until the very end
