Season 1 Review: It is at once a giddy genre exercise and something that your kids would happily watch. For the most part, that is. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The Cuphead Show! has created something more than the sum of its parts. It continues Netflix’s trend of superb video game adaptations by creating an animated world so intricate and alive that it will make any animation fan swoon while remaining fun and relatable for any age. Just put on an episode and try not to smile. Read full review

Season 1 Review: There’s an abundance of talent and passion involved in the creation of The Cuphead Show, but ultimately it doesn’t innovate on its inspirations. Instead, it ends up being a homage where the sole novelty comes from seeing these videogame characters recreated in 1930s-era shorts. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The rubber hose animation of the ‘30s is a striking and novel skin to stretch over a traditional run-and-gun video game, but as a series of bite-sized stories, The Cuphead Show can’t help but come up short. Read full review

The series is great, it had me caught of guard with some of the jokes and doesn't ever feel like it is purely a kids show.

The animation is gorgeous and I love the use of classic animation techniques like live action backgrounds so a spinning camera could work and the film grain makes it really feel like a classic cartoon. I absolutely love it… Expand

I feel like people are looking at this the wrong way, this is a new age Saturday morning cartoon. The animation style is amazing, and I can't wait for season 2!

The Cuphead Show is a very good cartoon in my opinion but what I don't understand is why important characters like Ribby and Croaks, The Root Pack and King Dice only got one episode and any supporting characters like Stickler and also this phone guy got 2 or more episodes gotten from ElderThe Cuphead Show is a very good cartoon in my opinion but what I don't understand is why important characters like Ribby and Croaks, The Root Pack and King Dice only got one episode and any supporting characters like Stickler and also this phone guy got 2 or more episodes gotten from Elder Kettle I still understand that even though he only appears once in the game at the beginning and at the end of world 1.
Everything else related to this series like the jokes or the story of the episodes is perfectly fine, my problem is just why secondary characters are pushed so hard into the foreground and the important characters that appear in the story in the game are left out me I hope that changes a bit in season 2.
Otherwise the series is recommended… Expand

Si has jugado el juego sobras que la serie no tiene casi nada que ver con la serie, muy poco desarrollo de jefes y personajes del juego, una animación que no se parece a la de el juego.
