I’ve heard some mixed reviews, I personally think the concept is interesting but I haven’t actually seen anything besides like, 10 minutes of episode 4. I’m not expecting anything exceptionally deep or even that great, I was just wondering if it was even fun to watch.

    I’m CIS white dude who is rapidly approaching 40, the show is not made for me. When the pilot came out I watched it and I was rooting for the production crew; even watching some of the animatics the production crew made while podcasting.

    The contents of what I’ve seen from watching the pilot and a little bit of the full series isn’t intended for me. The struggles the characters are going through are hard for me to relate to. I’m also never a fan of Abrahamic religious framing, I find it banal. I wish the production crew the best, but I have no intention of watching more than what I’ve seen.

      Same IRL situation.

      I thought I’d hate it. Especially with the singing, I’m really not into musicals. Ended up absolutely loving it though, partially because of those songs. Poison and You’re A Loser are fantastic, as is Happy Day In Hell.

      It’s just annoying to me. You know when the creator of Ren and Stimpy was able to make an uncensored version of the show and it wasn’t funny because he didn’t need to write around the restrictions? Vizziepop is like that for Invader Zim. A PG version of the show would almost certainly be funnier because it would force the writer to change up the punchlines. Right now, she uses swearing to punctuate her sentences.

      I was never a Hottopic or tumblr type, so the show was definitely not made for me. That being said, all the fans I know irl are cis, white, and at least 50. I also have had to become “a hater” because they can’t take the hint that I don’t want to watch the show with them otherwise.
