i think it shows promise. i dont mind them changing some stuff up- if they tried to keep everything exactly the same as the comic thered be no point in remaking it, and most of the things that were changed (like how pesterchum works, john not needing to steal his dads pda and just having a phone already, a lot of the longer/less consequential conversations getting cut) i can get behind. the people making it are all clearly very talented- the animation was very appealing and expressive, and the va's managed to do their characters justice pretty well (or at least in my opinion.) the one problem i have is with the pacing. im aware theres a lot they had to fit into a short timeframe, and homestuck is a notoriously long-winded property, but it seems like they sort of overcorrected in condensing it. i think if itd had more time to breathe id be rating it a 10/10, but where it is now is around a high 8 to a mid-9. still not too shabby at all.
