Thoughts on the Netflix animated series "Hilda"
 

Well noticing how there is a lot of threads discussing some of Netflix's kid animated programs so I want to make a thread about what I consider the best of the category "Hilda"

While Hilda doesn't have isn't an action show like Dragon Prince, Voltron, Flex Armstrong, or the upcoming She Ra, I do consider it my favorite Netflix Original Children animated series(favorite animated series is a tie between Bojack and Devilman Crybaby).

Hilda could be best described as Scandinavia Mythology meets Hayao Miyazaki meets Gravity Falls/Over the Garden Wall.

Its mostly episodic so if you are looking for something deep you aren't going to enjoy it and while the characters are good and have decent chemistry I doubt they are going to end up as anyone's favorite animated characters

But what sells this series for me personally is how beautiful it looks. Everything is very well animated(Kudos to Mercury Filmworks) and almost every shot has beautiful atmosphere and composition.

I've thought about reading the comics it's based on first, but I'm not sure yet.


Even when that description is right up my alley. I love all that stuff.

I at least check out one episode, its pretty good also the animated series is more of an adaption than a continuation.

Tried to watch it the other day. Looked weird enough to be entertaining, but I didn't make it overly far into the first episode and got bored of it. Are other episodes better?

At least try episode 2, if you don't like it then you might as well drop the series.

I've been watching this series with my brother. Very delightful and charming.

I wonder if it will even have a season two. Apparently, the first season adapts all but one of the books and a one-shot comic book.
