Damn, I love Chowder so much. Everything about it bursts with style and grace. And when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING! I don't think I've felt this way about a cartoon since Foster's. I've almost bought all the episodes from the Playstation Network. Christ I'm addicted.
The writing, animation, designs, voices, every damn THING! Sheesh I'm a fanboy now. Sall' good!
P.S.
So I decided to Wiki Chowder and came across some bad mouthing review. It was saying how the show was unoriginal in style and writing. Well you could guess I was pretty pissed off. I doubt Robert Rich, the writer of the review, is an artist so he wouldn't understand how much it takes to put into a design or character creation.
Anyway, I posted a pretty hot headed comment to his review which is the following:
"Chowder is nothing short of amazing. That last comment about the show was silly and unnecessary. The art direction by Dan Krall is stunning. The main characters have more style than a lot of cartoons out today. I'm an artist and I know how hard it is to make an original piece of art among a sea of artists. So for the creators of Chowder, I would give them a pat on the back for a job well done. I'm not saying the show is perfect. The writing is a little off at times, but that's it.
"But according to the show, his insatiable appetite is a good thing, as it's that hankering for food that saves the day in the first episode." No, you're wrong. If you had actually paid attention to the first episode, the ice cream man wheels out a girl version of the ice cream monster, which saves the day. Also, if you're talking about the second half of the show, then you would know that Mung, Schnitzel and Chowder made their home insanely huge to appease Truffles.
So no, his appetite did not save the day. Get your facts right."
My biggest gripe was that he trashed the show without getting his facts straight. Honestly, if you're gonna report on something at least know what the hell you're talking about. (rant over)
