The quality of the animation was superb. The art style of the original comics translated super well into an animated format, with great character designs and animation all throughout. Especially during the action scenes, shit looked tight. Speaking of which, they did not disappoint with all of the goofy action and characters shining through a myriad of clever fights. It manages to be different from both the film and the comic, with a new take on this series with the same characters and setup as the original. At the same time, it didn't take any cheap shots at the original show, it was tastefully written with respect.
So what went right?
It seems as though the team behind the show got the movie or the comic mansplained to them sometime during development and they made a conscientious decision to not appeal to that lowest common denominator. All of this is to say that there is no way some dork could go "that's literally me" and then try to date a 17 year old. Since that was my only problem with the source material, that makes this adaptation a swag show.
Also, props to being the only show I know to reference the best version of Dr. Robotnik (Long John Baldry from AOSTH, of course), even if tangentially.
