OHKAY. I made it through six minutes of nothing happening. There's a little bit of John K left in the girls faces, but the rest must have been blanded away. Four stars for pain.
I dunno, a lot of the characters and movements look a lot like John K's earlier stuff, back when he was working for other people, before he turned into a self-proclaimed messiah of low-budget animation.
There's a lot of evidence that this theme song is supposed to be completely diagetic. I like to think that hearing the theme song on the space amoeba's radio was how they found out about their situation. "Pack your shit and get in the cab. This unfinished Egyptian Lover demo will explain everything."
The writing is shit. The animation is shit. Yet still I love it. It's combination of nostalgia and 2 things:
1) The background music is engaging and fun.
2) The voice acting is, for the most part, better than most non-voice acting is these days. Emotive despite being actuated through the soulless maws of poorly-animated jap puppet-creatures.
A quick search says background music by Eagles vet and voices done by professional voice actors who went somewhere. Go figure, good parts done by good people.
