Transformers: Cyberverse – Chapter 1 (aka my first review!)

(I have only 3000 characters to type, so I hope this will fit the limit...)

First of all, I do not consider myself a critic. I am just considering myself a normal person.

And now, my first review!

From Boulder Media LimitedAhem! , Hasbro Studios, and Allspark Animation (?), comes a Franchise/Transformers that's still CGI and still has 2D shades in it and is still aired on Cartoon Network.Hey! 

I really like this show.

First, the story. Bumblebee is stranded on Earth with no memory of his past and with his voice box damaged. Luckily, Windblade, Bumblebee's best friend, comes to his help. They must find the Ark and the Allspark by repairing Bee's memories before the Decepticons reach first. And fast! An interesting and intriguing one... which I am really interested and invested. "Megatron Is My Hero", I've heard, is the point where the show is Growing the Beard.

Second, I like how this show builds its world (via Bumblebee's memories and perspective). And also it has Velocitron! Caminus was namedropped so far, but it's great!

Third, the visual part of the show. Yeah, actually, Xentrix Studios animated the show while Boulder Media Limited produced it. But I love the visuals. Still CGI, and also with a bit of a cel-shading in it. I just love how this show looks! It's appealing to me.

Fourth, the designs. Look cool to me. Blends Evergreen designs with G1 (the original cartoon, the US and UK Marvel comics and the IDW comics), Transformers Animated and Aligned continuities.

Fifth, the voice acting. May come stiff this New York voice cast, but I like these voice actors. At least, they are working hard for this. I don't know why is this voice cast for Transformers TV shows, and I know some are not happy with this, but I am fine with this.

Sixth, the runtime and episode order. I actually feel comfortable with 11 minutes per episode and 18 episodes are not a bad number for a show with such format. Three hours total. Not bad for me.

Seventh, the theme song. I think it's another of the classic theme. I sometimes find myself humming it. It's good.

The first season, as a result, was great! As of this writing, I can't wait for Chapter 2 this year!

Don't be shy! Feel free to comment! And I'll try to answer to the replies.
