Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't white middle aged women make this? Therefore this is not an anime, it is an american cartoon, no? It was made in the US, which also adds to it not looking like an anime, it mostly resembles 'totally spies' or'wix club' in terms of style, not particularly in writing though just how it looks
@@bruhsleepineed929 recently there's been reconsideration about what makes an "anime". For example, The Last Airbender is commonly thought of as being an "anime" and not a "cartoon", though it's made in the US by Americans. Couldn't pinpoint why exactly, it's not a topic I'm deeply interested in tbh. Just wanted to say.
@@PointsofData So I searched up what anime was a few days ago and I think it has to do with the style of it, some onlookers will say it's an anime since the style is sort of there but it's an anime- influenced animated series. It just has to do with who you ask really, but officially It says on google it's an " American Animated Series" and we all know google doesn't lie(/hj). Like with 'Manga' it's from japan, Comic is from the US, Manhwa is from Korea, and Manhua is from China All of them translate to comic but all of them are different because of their place of origin
@@AndenMowe-hh5qk First of all, hurling insults at people whose definition of anime doesn't line up with yours won't put you in the right. Second, in Japan and Japanese, "anime" (a term derived from the English word "animation") describes all animated works, regardless of style or origin, so it wouldn't exactly be incorrect to call this an anime by technicality.

If they sold this as an american cartoon, not funded with crunchyroll money and made these two and Slime Boy the protagonists, then maybe it could have carved out a niche audience for itself.
They could have just given the money to some desperate, starving Japanese animators. Or some kind of insurrance fund for people in their profession. That would have been better.
I wonder why this cartoon isn't about purple hair and mermaid instead. Their dynamics are so good, and the only clips that entertained me so far are those where they appear!

Wow they are drawn much better in the VR videogame! The chibi style has life and oomph! The colors compliment each other! They look cute! For real they should have kept the show in chibi form. I genuinely enjoyed the two bullies interaction with one another. It feels so natural and the lines are decent. Thanks for uploading this!
They have much better eye shape too and a better colors. This is what happens when you are just draw anime style instead of trying as much as possible to do it "not exactly an anime style because Im not weeb".
Amarillis and Snapdragon in this scene almost convinced me to watch this show, and that's a good, yet bad thing. Good because the dialogue is decent in this scene, and their character dynamic flows quite well: Amarillis is used to people sucking up to her, and is a bully to the MC's because she thinks she is the most talented person in the room. Snapdragon however is more empathetic and has less of an ego (based on this clip) but he bullies Rosemary because he finds her cheeriness and naivety annoying. The bad part about this is that it means the bully side characters have more personality than the main cast.
It also helps Amaryllis and Snapdragon that they're the only characters I've seen that get retribution for their actions. Snapdragon may not deserve people thinking bad of him/her because of what she thinks of herself, but people tend to act badly against that, and it's good to see her actually struggle and come on top instead of everything being given to her. And Amaryllis acts like an abrasive, sarcastic jerk, and people call her out on it, and it's good to see that. Meanwhile, pinky can insult someone in a sarcastic way and no one will bat an eye in-story
@@taidakun_ig Yeah. The issue with self-inserts is that they are naturally difficult to right as fleshed out characters- you have to resist the urge to make them Gary Stu's / Mary Sue's.
I don’t know why, but seeing Snapdragon’s game avatar have pink hair and his skin color having a slight pink tinge heals my soul a bit. It’s probably my inner feminine side coming out
The game world has more personality than the "anime" they're trying to make. If this was about a short violent pirate kid and her femboy mermaid friend: I'd be super into this. Edit: I appreciate the 700+ likes, but any show with a femboy in it: instant 10/10 from me!
I could see it. Like ignoring any connection to this show and taking that premise at face value, I think it could be workable. Violent pirate kid falls off a ship at sea after riding stowaway then gets saved by a very effeminate merman who tries to teach her about empathy and practicality as he helps her get a new life started in a coastal town of nearby country. The plot can gradually shift from pirate girl causing havoc on land while pretty merman explores undersea ruins in search of mcguffins, valuables, or anything useful until merman manages to hunt down a landwalker relic and can accompany pirate girl on a few (mis)adventures until the plot kicks in and Cthulhu invades or something. And it also kinds works thematically. Pirate girl is an oddity in human society because she’s so gruff and violent, and effeminate merman was a washout of the warrior guild he was born into. Working together, the two can kinda fill opposite ends of the rogue trope. Merman being exceptionally perceptive, persuasive, and cunning, while Pirate knows thief skills like lock picking and really dirty trick fighting.
Ok, but compared to the early episodes, the dialogue in this compilation is actually kinda interesting and feels a bit more natural that the early episodes. The show definitely has potential but so far, they haven’t come close to unlocking it.
Episodes 6+ are actually decent. Episodes 1-5 are trash though. You NEVER want to start a show with 3+ bad episodes in a row. You want to hook the watcher, not turn them away.
@@mitchellmcivor7509 They apparently wanted to target this show towards kids, but then the purple evil girl said "bastard" once and slime boy talked about "special cookies" (weed cookies).
Actually the "femboy" you mentioned is actually a trans girl that willingly turned herself into a girl via magic, (the spell doesn't change voice, only body) just to let you know.
Three questions: -Just...just why couldn't the show had flawed purple girl as the protagonist? -Why did we get stuck with the self inserts as the main cast? -Why did they let Twitter make their own """"""""""anime""""""""""? Edit: WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!
I wish i had the hand to make this, with writers who at the very most make *well placed self inserts.* Linda wants to be a character even though she laughs at middle easterners? Make her a villian. Or fire them
@@enderwalkgang if you go on Tumblr and sreach for high guardian spice, the most popular posts are about how this show is bad and lazy for using pngs instead of actually drawing stuff... And how Slime boy is a rare highlight in the show
I like the Amaryllis and Snapdragon chemistry appreciation, but when Snapdragon said "Maybe you think I like following you around like a puppy. Uh-uh. I'm my own person," my mind short circuited. This series needs a serious rewrite of dialog. I feel like that would make the show much more appealing
@@elgatochurro This is episode 7 or 8, which is a 2 parter and is where most people who watched the entire thing say the show got a lot better. There are 12 episodes btw. Episode 6 in my mind is the first episode that isn't insufferable as things actually change and there's development and character growth in that one. First 5 episodes are trash though, and since people usually don't watch an entire series when the first few episodes are bad it's a big turn off. It's like the first 5 episodes were made by a completely different team led by the man-hating feminist while the main team was led by Raye who made an actually decent show. Though they should have just toned down the swearing and gore and released it on Cartoon Network, Netflix, or HBO Max, not release a children's cartoon that literally has to artificially force a higher rating to seem "mature" on an anime streaming service and expect people to watch it unironicly.
Like the rest, the vr game scene is almost enjoyable, if a little juvenile. To their credit though I liked the little touch where purple did the happy “saved” animation and then immediately went straight to being angry again. Like jumping for joy is a mandatory part of getting unfrozen, made me chuckle

I've got to give them some credit, having the purple hair girl stutter a bit when she takes off the goggles and realizes what's going on is a nice touch.
"I'm my own person" "Is that what you think?" While its obvious she's responding to Snapdragon saying she's bossy, it sounds like she's responding to him saying that he's his own person. It's better if Amaryllis said "Is that what you think? That I'm bossy?"
This halloween episode seems like it's probably the best of their work here. Haven't seen the show but clips from this episode are actually catching my interest. Snapdragon seems like a cool character.
2:33 I feel that purple girl. The problem is not her being mean is that the main characters are so fucking mentally fragile and entitled that is unbearable.
Those "Snap Spells" or whatever seem like they'd be a fantastic contingency item though. Like, imagine how useful it'd be to a Teleportation flavored one of those, basically just an Escape Rope from Pokemon. Or having some kind of mass heal tucked away for a desperate situation. Oh but a bad guy used one, so obviously any application of the technology is bad and wrong. My mistake.
The bullies are way too good of chatacters for this show They actually have personality, outside of stereotyping Snapdragon literally having the best character arc, period. Be pretty, snapdragon... be pretty... And Amarillisis clearly insecure, using violence and an aura of self superiority to mask that she just isn't good at connecting with people. But when her best friend is vulnerable, she will drop everything to protect him, and tell him he's pretty, no romance required. It's like, someone on the team realized that this woke BS is senseless fluff, and decided to convince the crew to let them write minor antagonists, with no interference from the woke squad, then proceeded to write actual frickn characters that people can enjoy.
True, it's probably because Cheryl has more time to show off her character and her chemistry with other people, it also helps that although her main arc is about transition her character isn't solely tied to the concept of "being the trans character"
The more I see of this clips the more I think it can be saved... if they change the protagonists to the side characters. Way better voices and stories (and even knowledge after she knew what they needed)
What upsets me about this show is that it had POTENTIAL. Amaryllis and Snapdragon are legitimately enjoyable characters, they just need some fine tuning. But the show decided to focus on the milktoast main cast over the actually engaging side characters. Dammit, we couldve had good trans rep and they fuckin stole it from us, man
2:05 lmao it sounds like the noise the elixir collectors make when you tap on them when they're full in clash of clans. Knowing the production quality it wouldn't surprise me if they actually took sounds from clash of clans and slightly modified them.
It's probably a royalty free sound effect you can find online that CoC just happens to also use. Or it's part of a paid Sound Effect collection that a lot of studios have on hand. That's why you can hear identical sound effects in multiple different games/shows. Or they could just be using modified rips. Who knows!
@@krimsonkatt my man you really are white knighting this show so hard like my god , they used a stock picture as their light pole is it that unrealistic to think they just copied it
News article: High Guardian Spice is being reviewbombed by anti-LGBTQ trolls. The audiences: Femboy and purple mean girl are the only reasons we still watch this thing.
I'm still pissed at the direction they took Snapdragon in. He was just a male who liked feminine things. I think by trying to get him to transition to a woman was very disingenuous to his character. It's like saying "oh you like to paint your nails and wear dresses, you MUST want to be a girl then!" When no, you can stay a man and still enjoy feminine things. I really don't understand how a show can so badly fck up their own characters.
Amaryllis has so much more personality, she would make an interesting main character. She has her strengths and she has her flaws and I find her so much more likeable
I actually enjoyed this scene. Plus the interaction between the two is nice. I think they just cant do super nice characters that well that it just slowly went bland and unnatural, that or they actually like these characters way more than the main 4 and can come up with good scenes and good script for them
Snapdragon’s self-discovery arc is the only piece of good writing in this show. If they’d just made a show about a trans girl going to magic school and learning to accept herself, then I think it’d be a lot better, and the lgbt representation would feel a lot less insulting
3:31 Why is the blue haired girls hands going through her dress as she walks and what the absolute frick is wrong with the merman’s walk animation seriously it looks like he is limping.
4:37 “isn’t that dangerous?” Is all she had to say. I am not a master at dialogue and could maybe write a wattpad fanfic but even I can do better than that. Or maybe it’s the voice actress
I remember me and my sister did a real time dub of HGS and I got the privilege of voicing the purple haired girl. For some reason I gave her a raspy voice that just kept getting worse as we kept recording until my throat was actually demolished. Just thought you might find that tidbit interesting.
“Maybe you think I like following you around like a puppy, Uh uh. I’m my own person.” “Is that really what you think?” This is an interaction written by an actual human. It’s scary to say that.
3:10 Those 2 almost single handedly destroyed the triad characters that are just oozing self insert. I'm serious though, they really look like the people who made the show. What a tease.
it would have been glorious

Actually the "femboy" you mentioned is actually a trans girl that willingly turned herself into a girl via magic, (the spell doesn't change voice, only body) just to let you know.
Ah shit we got one
@@krimsonkatt so it's a medium trap tho 😳
Who cares
No we don’t
Three questions:
-Just...just why couldn't the show had flawed purple girl as the protagonist?
-Why did we get stuck with the self inserts as the main cast?
-Why did they let Twitter make their own """"""""""anime""""""""""?
Edit: WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!
And also the art style
Its remind me of Okā-san wa Suki Desuka
It should haved stay with that art style
They actually let Tumblr make their own anime.
I wish i had the hand to make this, with writers who at the very most make *well placed self inserts.* Linda wants to be a character even though she laughs at middle easterners? Make her a villian. Or fire them
@@enderwalkgang if you go on Tumblr and sreach for high guardian spice, the most popular posts are about how this show is bad and lazy for using pngs instead of actually drawing stuff... And how Slime boy is a rare highlight in the show
@@lelnel6242 Let me clarify: the series is based on a comic FROM Tumblr.
I like the Amaryllis and Snapdragon chemistry appreciation, but when Snapdragon said "Maybe you think I like following you around like a puppy. Uh-uh. I'm my own person," my mind short circuited. This series needs a serious rewrite of dialog. I feel like that would make the show much more appealing
“I can’t always do things _your_ way, ‘Rill. I want to be heard too sometimes.”
I think something like this would be slightly better.
The developers fucked up. Pirate girl and mermaid man should be the stars. Not whiny bubble gum girl 🤦♀️
LMAO pirate girl and mermaid man
@@sereneillusions5812 that honestly sounds like something you’d hear in a Saturday morning superhero cartoon lol
This episode and the following we're where the show really started coming together, some stuff still hamfisted and weird but definitely a lot better
Nothing about the episode number here
@@elgatochurro I think it's episode 7?
@@elgatochurro This is episode 7 or 8, which is a 2 parter and is where most people who watched the entire thing say the show got a lot better. There are 12 episodes btw. Episode 6 in my mind is the first episode that isn't insufferable as things actually change and there's development and character growth in that one. First 5 episodes are trash though, and since people usually don't watch an entire series when the first few episodes are bad it's a big turn off. It's like the first 5 episodes were made by a completely different team led by the man-hating feminist while the main team was led by Raye who made an actually decent show. Though they should have just toned down the swearing and gore and released it on Cartoon Network, Netflix, or HBO Max, not release a children's cartoon that literally has to artificially force a higher rating to seem "mature" on an anime streaming service and expect people to watch it unironicly.
Slimeboy would wear the glasses and see no difference with anything he sees everyday.
"Stop waving that thing around"
*speeeen*
Purple girl is the best.
For the “bully” characters they are way more interesting
Like the rest, the vr game scene is almost enjoyable, if a little juvenile.
To their credit though I liked the little touch where purple did the happy “saved” animation and then immediately went straight to being angry again. Like jumping for joy is a mandatory part of getting unfrozen, made me chuckle
It was a really nice touch tbh
The purple haired girl actually seems really cool! She actually has emotion. It actually made some parts of this show bare able to watch!
She kinda gives me Raquel vibes from Barbie life in a dream house lol
T a ke t h e i r lu n c h m on e y
0:55 When "Art Fixers" see "bad art"
I'm starting to adore this duo, it's a good mix of a madman and an angel
Sorry, it's just I'm at seeing slightly better animation on this show.

@@1CT1 why tho just why.
3:31 BRUH THE GINGERS WALK CYCLE
HELPP
3:47 "So you've always been unique~" maybe the romance writers still need to workshop this a little bit
I've got to give them some credit, having the purple hair girl stutter a bit when she takes off the goggles and realizes what's going on is a nice touch.
I can't get over the fact that @ 2:05 the pickaxe blatantly turns into a scythe
Literally no one:
All the background characters: Completely Stoned.
Ax Girl and Femboy caught my attention. They talk naturally.
femboy is actually a transgirl
Not always but most of the time
"everyone is stoned"
5:19 poor bird, but at least she's a likeable character, unlike the protagonists
Spoiler:
It was not decorative.
One of the only jokes from this series that I found funny. Jokes that play off of previously mentioned pieces of information are something I enjoy
This show needs a fan edit where they take out the slow annoying character scenes and include only streamlined plot scenes.
Or a YTP that focuses entirely on the more interesting side characters.
"I'm my own person"
"Is that what you think?"
While its obvious she's responding to Snapdragon saying she's bossy, it sounds like she's responding to him saying that he's his own person.
It's better if Amaryllis said "Is that what you think? That I'm bossy?"
They look cute as game avatars
I alo like the art style it looks like a actual anime then Steven universe Rip off
This halloween episode seems like it's probably the best of their work here. Haven't seen the show but clips from this episode are actually catching my interest. Snapdragon seems like a cool character.
I would rather watch the subplots of Snad and the purple-haired girl than watch the actual plot of the series.
2:33 I feel that purple girl. The problem is not her being mean is that the main characters are so fucking mentally fragile and entitled that is unbearable.
Those "Snap Spells" or whatever seem like they'd be a fantastic contingency item though. Like, imagine how useful it'd be to a Teleportation flavored one of those, basically just an Escape Rope from Pokemon. Or having some kind of mass heal tucked away for a desperate situation.
Oh but a bad guy used one, so obviously any application of the technology is bad and wrong. My mistake.
The bullies are way too good of chatacters for this show
They actually have personality, outside of stereotyping
Snapdragon literally having the best character arc, period. Be pretty, snapdragon... be pretty...
And Amarillisis clearly insecure, using violence and an aura of self superiority to mask that she just isn't good at connecting with people. But when her best friend is vulnerable, she will drop everything to protect him, and tell him he's pretty, no romance required.
It's like, someone on the team realized that this woke BS is senseless fluff, and decided to convince the crew to let them write minor antagonists, with no interference from the woke squad, then proceeded to write actual frickn characters that people can enjoy.
The random sound effects when they move make my soul slowly disintegrate
I can't stop laughing at the "Generic 8-bit game music" playing in the background
Amaryllis and Snapdragon my beloved
Snap dragon kind of reminds me of the cheryl from ‘I want to be a anime girl’ except cheryl is better written
True, it's probably because Cheryl has more time to show off her character and her chemistry with other people, it also helps that although her main arc is about transition her character isn't solely tied to the concept of "being the trans character"
This only makes me wish for a crossover game where either Godzilla, Crypto (destroy all humans) or the Rampage monsters show up to destroy them all.
I mean they already used Godzilla’s exact roar from the movies for the ice monster.
3:19 This is honestly unbelievable. They kept it in and even animated the stuttering!
The fact that the _bully characters_ end up being more likeable than any of the protagonists speak volumes about this series
The more I see of this clips the more I think it can be saved... if they change the protagonists to the side characters.
Way better voices and stories (and even knowledge after she knew what they needed)
What upsets me about this show is that it had POTENTIAL. Amaryllis and Snapdragon are legitimately enjoyable characters, they just need some fine tuning. But the show decided to focus on the milktoast main cast over the actually engaging side characters. Dammit, we couldve had good trans rep and they fuckin stole it from us, man
Bruh they literally used Godzilla's roar
ikr
Meh its just a little reference to big g
Nothing else
1:40 They really put the Godzilla noise lmao
2:05 lmao it sounds like the noise the elixir collectors make when you tap on them when they're full in clash of clans.
Knowing the production quality it wouldn't surprise me if they actually took sounds from clash of clans and slightly modified them.
Well the ice bunny's roar is literally the roar of Godzilla from the 1998 movie
It's probably a royalty free sound effect you can find online that CoC just happens to also use. Or it's part of a paid Sound Effect collection that a lot of studios have on hand. That's why you can hear identical sound effects in multiple different games/shows. Or they could just be using modified rips. Who knows!
@@darrylferguson3622 Found it at 1:40. lmao you're right. It's short but you can clearly hear the Godzilla roar in there.
@@krimsonkatt i hope that is the case
@@krimsonkatt my man you really are white knighting this show so hard like my god , they used a stock picture as their light pole is it that unrealistic to think they just copied it
I don't feel any connection to these characters expect for purple girl.
Connection?
@@facundomontivero2299 None
@@ArtseyHayton06 No, I meant what do you mean by connection?
@@facundomontivero2299 A relatable connection or something to keep me invested in them.
And femboy mermaid and slime boy
News article: High Guardian Spice is being reviewbombed by anti-LGBTQ trolls.
The audiences: Femboy and purple mean girl are the only reasons we still watch this thing.
The fact that they almost killed a lot of people while playing the game
I'm still pissed at the direction they took Snapdragon in. He was just a male who liked feminine things. I think by trying to get him to transition to a woman was very disingenuous to his character.
It's like saying "oh you like to paint your nails and wear dresses, you MUST want to be a girl then!" When no, you can stay a man and still enjoy feminine things.
I really don't understand how a show can so badly fck up their own characters.
I like Ammarillys, because SHE actually explains magic, about how Terrace-Sphere is necessary for magic
Amaryllis has so much more personality, she would make an interesting main character. She has her strengths and she has her flaws and I find her so much more likeable
the purple haired girl kinda gives off glimmer vibes, from she-ra
This show is the literal meaning for "theres no bad marketing"
I actually like these 2 characters. Chibi femboy is cutie.
Also i like the art style
@@Justsomeaverage Indeed. If anything, I'll watch this show for those 2 characters, because they are funny and interesting. And cute too
that femboy is a transwoman
@@kosbuns IS Snapdragon really trans woman?
@@Yukeena ..yeah
"I'm my own person"
followed by "Is that really what you think?"
I know that's not how it's meant but ouch
"I'll take secondary characters that act better than the main characters for $500"
Purple hair girl and Snapdragon, they're better characters then the actual main characters.
I actually enjoyed this scene. Plus the interaction between the two is nice. I think they just cant do super nice characters that well that it just slowly went bland and unnatural, that or they actually like these characters way more than the main 4 and can come up with good scenes and good script for them
Snapdragon is just so constantly DONE with everything, love her. ❤❤
Snapdragon’s self-discovery arc is the only piece of good writing in this show. If they’d just made a show about a trans girl going to magic school and learning to accept herself, then I think it’d be a lot better, and the lgbt representation would feel a lot less insulting
Honestly I actually like the antagonists here, they have more personality and their interactions are a little fun to watch.
The girl with purple hairs my favorite character
4:10 this sounds oddly similar to green hill zone.
There are two (2) characters in this show I like, and it’s purple murder girl and red/pink haired mermaid
This is the only episode I enjoyed. The lines actually make sense and the relationships feel real. Why couldn’t the whole show be like this?
I'm loving purple girl and her femboy bf I need more of them ❤
the "femboy" is actually a trans woman
femboy is a transphobic term
Snap Dragon and Purple hair are so much better than the main characters (except Parsley. She's cool. The other 3 suck).
Purple hair and Slime boy pretty much carry the show. Somebody needs to take them and put them in an actually good show
These 2 are carrying the show on their backs
Wow this is the first ever “anime” where the antagonist is more enjoyable than the protagonist
The antagonists should have been the protagonists and the protagonists should have been the antagonists
3:31 Why is the blue haired girls hands going through her dress as she walks and what the absolute frick is wrong with the merman’s walk animation seriously it looks like he is limping.
4:37 “isn’t that dangerous?” Is all she had to say. I am not a master at dialogue and could maybe write a wattpad fanfic but even I can do better than that. Or maybe it’s the voice actress
I remember me and my sister did a real time dub of HGS and I got the privilege of voicing the purple haired girl. For some reason I gave her a raspy voice that just kept getting worse as we kept recording until my throat was actually demolished.
Just thought you might find that tidbit interesting.
“Maybe you think I like following you around like a puppy, Uh uh. I’m my own person.”
“Is that really what you think?”
This is an interaction written by an actual human. It’s scary to say that.
Snapdragon is my favorite character lmao
2:06 Amaryllis makes me laugh so hard XD
If they made one spin off just showing this two and slime boy, it would be a lot better than the original show
Wtf was 3:19? Her animation did not reflect her dialogue
@•○AvaWashere○• why did she repeat it so many times 😭
The background music in certain parts sounds like it was straight out of the monster high movies 💀💀
Even the colour palette looks really appealing in this style
