Anyone else watch it?

Overall, I think it's pretty good. The characters are interesting, and the world looks like it has alot of potential.

Yeah, the animation is pretty janky in the first season, but it gets better. Given the streamlined nature of the show (9 episodes a season), they don't do alot of worldbuilding, so you will have to read some of the supplemental materials (official website, various books, the "Tales of Xadia" tabletop RPG, etc) if you want to get a clear understanding of everything.

Although, the best part, after they did seasons 1-3, they got Netflix to sign the renewal for the remaining 4 seasons. We're getting all 7 seasons that the creators wanted to make (season 5 coming later this year).

Edit: the creators are also She-Ra fans.

@costume-n00b Wow bro. There must be a real solid audience for this show. Netflix is notorious for canceling most shows after three seasons. That is what made She-Ra so special.

@He-Dad

Ain't that the truth. Anyways, first video clip of season 5 

Cannot wait for this. Slight spoilers, but the villain is definitely a big draw for this show.

Netflix prepaid for 52 episodes of She-Ra, so there were no renewals for it.  I think this show has had one renewal.  Most cartoons tend to be made in batches to save money, so "seasons" are kind of arbitrary.  

I have yet to check this show out.  It doesn't really look like my cup of tea, but perhaps one day.  I don't really get Netflix for extended stays anymore, though.  I'll get for stuff like Revolution, Cobra Kai, and Stranger Things seasons, binge what I need to for the month, and then take an extended break.

Woah they prepaid all 52 episodes? And I thought prepaying for 26 episodes for the He-Man cgi show was a lot.

So does that mean that 2018 She-Ra show might of not been a success?

Well, given all the talk about it online, fanart, cosplays, etc, I'd say it was definitely a success.

It is hard to say.  The Netflix Top 10 was introduced before the last season or two of the show and it failed to get into that unlike Revelation, so you could at least say it wasn't a runaway hit.  It didn't get renewed or get a sequel series like some of the more popular Netflix DreamWorks shows like Dragons, Kung Fu Panda, Boss Baby, Trollhunters, or King Julian.  Its merchandise got clearanced out fairly fast at retail stores.  It had a cult following, but so do a lot of shows, both success and not successful.

So it's a who knows. I do miss the old days where we could check the Neilson ratings.

I don't care what anyone says about it, The Dragon Prince is a damn good show.

 

I fell in love with it when it debuted, and I have been glued to each new season since.

 

There is a fantastic Art Book published by Wonderstorm / Dark Horse... and some great books as well.

 

Plus... I have been patiently waiting for my Callum, Ezran, and Rayla statues to ship from Dark Horse Direct!! (An almost 3-year wait now...)
