Pros:
The characters all have very interesting designs and personalities, albeit some of them could afford to have more screen time.
The fight scenes. Nuff said
The music. Also nuff said.
The world created has some very interesting ideas behind it, such as the four Kingdoms being the only safe havens against rampant monsters
A few twists that made perfect sense but I still didn't see coming.
A good sense of humor.
Cons:
The short episode length can be very frustrating.
The pacing is a little slow, tied directly into the above length problem.
The show is on a budget and at times it shows in the animation. At times I really wish that Monty had more money and people behind this project so he could go all out.
The voice acting can slip at times
Some characters feel out of focus at times, although this is most likely a problem that will be fixed with future episodes. Still it is worth mentioning until then.
This show has a lot of good and bad, but in my humble opinion the good outweighs the bad. The show admittedly did stumble a bit at first but I feel like it's found its place and is taking its story in a very interesting direction. Part of the charm this story has is the massive amount of references and inspiration from fairy tales...just about everywhere, in addition to the interesting naming process. Cardin's character makes a lot more sense when you know where he got his name
Sadly though, other reviews have clearly proved that for some the cons outweigh the pros. While I disagree with that, I respect the opinions of others, and you may find that you have more of a problem with the cons that I did, or may even not like the pros. At the very least you should give it a try (Stick to episode 8, that's where it really kicks off).
In my opinion though, this show is a gem, despite all of its flaws. I really did wish it could be better at times, but I'm happy with what we've got.
A flawed gem, but a gem nontheless
