So this is good, huh? I just flipped right past it on Netflix since it looked like a kids show to me and I didn't actually know anything about it. But I will check it out!

I'm on episode 13 right now and I'm loving it. This and Bojack are Netflix's golden gems.

Is it weird that Dreamwork's next film is Trolls and this is Trollhunters, but appears to be completely separate?

would be a lot more excited for Trollhunters if it was just Del Toro trolls hunting down those abominations

It's quite enjoyable honestly. Has a lot of potential. Bad guy voice acting is great (dude sounds a lot like Ralph Fiennes) and kelsey grammar and anton yelchin ( :( ) are fantastic as well.

Shit, I thought Blinky's voice sounded familiar. I don't think I've heard Kelsey Grammer's voice in a good 15 years.

Two episodes in now. I'm kind of hating the troll designs (they're just too typical cute CG monsters), but overall I'm enjoying the show. Not amazed, but yeah, feels like a fun CG family movie in episodic format. Will keep watching.

Binged watched the whole season and yeah its decent not Gravity Falls or Adventure Time levels of good by far but enjoyable if you got time to kill. With the main voice actor dying and animation typycally taking awhile probably won't get a season 2 for a long time.

And why would I want them?
Assuming this is the OT?

This show is pretty cool. Watching with my kids now. One of the best looking animated tv shows I've seen. Netflix is killing it right now. So much content.

I watched 3 episodes and couldn't get into it. It's not bad, just not grabbing me. Should I keep trying or do you guys think that if I'm not into it now that I shouldn't bother?

felt a little generic for the first 5 episodes but picked up heavy around episode 5-6 and escalated from there

Huh not a ton of kids series that will straight up kill people. The humor in general seems to be very Del Toro style. The whole sequence where Tobes is going to kill the gnome by putting it down the garbage disposal was darkly hilarious.

Here's my daughter upon her viewing Trollhunters: "I don't like it, it's scary. I don't like this, I want to watch Doc McStuffins, I want to watch something else, anything but this, haha did you see what that troll did? This is cool!" We burnt through the first season in just a few days.

I started watching this and wow, they really pulled out all the fat humour stops for tobes.

He's a scaredy cat, he's dumb, and his weight causes him to be the physical slap stick humour.

Season 2 Confirmed on Twitter!!

EDIT

The guy just removed the tweet from his page. Maybe he wasn't suppose to talk about it yet. I did a background check on the guy and he works on Nitrogen Studios. They did in fact work on the animations for Trollhunters Season 1 so I can safely assume his tweet was 99.9% legit. Here is Nitrogen Studios' official webpage: http://www.nitrogenstudios.com/our-work.html

EDIT 2

Wow, his twitter account just got removed. He is definitely being punished for leaking that information. I feel guilty for spreading it though. I hope nothing serious happened to him at work.

I am both extremely happy about season 2 and really sad that this guy apparently got in trouble for telling us.

I wonder who they're going to get to replace Anton Yelchin.

I'm eight episodes in and quite enjoying it. Animation is great, writing gets some good laughs, Kelsey Grammer is wonderful as Blinky, it's an all around fun show.

It's nothing amazing, but I wasn't exactly amazed by Hellboy or Pacific Rim, either, and it's similar to those in that while it's not revolutionary, it's well put together.

I watched it and I actually really liked it. Much more than I thought I would.

It had a decent amount of action and the kids killing creatures lmao.

An announcement of season 2 has me excited.

Just finished this last night then saw this thread.

Holy shoot this was a good show. Very good pacing and buildup. The 2nd villain after episode 13 was amazing. And wow this show is high quality.

I was expecting the worse but I'm pleasantly surprised.

My buddy brought this to my attention this weekend. I blew through it in 3 days.


Not Stranger Things great, but really enjoyable.


It's too bad the guy that voiced the main character is gone, but it'll be interesting hearing a different interpretation of Jim.

7.5 out of 10 for the series.

It's not like I'm particularly attached to any voice actor besides Frasier

I may have to try this.

I have been very wary of CGI TV shows since they have always been so janky, but maybe tech has gotten to a point where this is no longer the case.

I'd say the animation in this is on point, lots of well framed action imo.

I just finished the series this week. Very much looking forward to a next season. I love the art design and themes presented in the episodes.
Ended up enjoying Mr. Strickler alot and hope to see him appear later in the series. It also ended on quite a dark cliffhanger for a kids show, but damn that eclipse armor is badass.

Yeah Angor Rot was a really well done menacing villain. Even his design was pretty cool.

I marathoned this show during the christmas holidays. It reminds me a lot of Riders of Berk, another good DW series.

Confession time, I hate the lead characters design. He needs to get a badass haircut if he's going to be wearing armor. He looks like more a dork than he should be.
