Thank you for the happy birthday your so nice
Purple Jaguar Eye is dope. I love Benson and how he’s portrayed. Also this is the first time I’ve seen in a cartoon where a character outright says they’re gay
Love listening to it. And yes, I think it's the first time that's ever happened in a Western animated show!
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 Maybe the first time in an American animated children's show. But not the first western cartoon :) 6Teen (a Canadian cartoon which aired on Cartoon Network in the 2000's) was waaay ahead of its time. The long and short of it, Nikki makes a new friend and her group of buddies tell her they think her friend is into her. She beats around the bush to find out if that's true, until her new friend up and says "yes I'm gay," but she wasn't interested in Nikki.
Man. 6Teen was my childhood. Hhhhh nostalgia. Ah, here's a link to the episode ruclips.net/video/3WxeCQAHtCc/видео.html the scene is at 14:05
@@blackrosesthorn9451 I did not know this happened! Thank you for sending it to me! :)
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 That episode never made it into America, so that's probably why -_-
It happens in The Hollow too, another good Netflix cartoon btw
I think all the scenes with Jamack were my favorites, I love him.
Excellent take. He's a terrific character.
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 It would be so cool if he joined the group, hopefully we’ll see more of him this next season.
Jamack is by far my favorite character. He’s fantastic.
@@rileymclellan8953 Fuuckk he hasn't joined the group yet aaaaaa
It was so close ;-;
@Yasmim Sousa, I LOVE your pfp (Garnet from SU.) I started watching Kipo when SUF ended because I just needed a new thing to help me with the emotional hangover, y'know? I do NOT regret choosing this show! Also, Gravity Falls, Bee and Puppycat, and Adventure time are pretty awesome too! Stay safe!
Kipo’s voice actress plays Kimiko in The Boys, a character who quite literally rips peoples faces off. Also Glimmer, she voices Glimmer in She-Ra and she plays Kitana in Suicide Squad.
Quite the acting range indeed.
I knew she was in The Boys, but I did not know she does that! I guess the similarities between Kimiko and Kipo end at "their names start with Ki and end with o."
Avatar: The Last Airbender's good storytelling + Adventure Time's post apocalyptic world + Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse's soundtrack = Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts
Hope they won't screw it up like some other shows
@@magnus5747 _don't you'll jinx it_
Accurate.
@@sweetsadsiren5569thank goodness they didn’t
N.100
This show needs more attention and love
Benson: “I’m gay.”
Me: (SPIT TAKE☕️). “Wow. I appreciate your straight approach.”
It’s the first time for me that someone says those words without sugarcoating nor mincing them, nor using them as some kind of tasteless and offensive joke (like the Simpsons or Family Guy)
Gay lol
no homo btw
I KNOW right? When he just said it, I was so SHOCKED. He said it all chill-like and I legit rewinded cause I thought I heard wrong, WHEN I HEARD IT AGAIN I SORT OF KINDA CRIED-
"Straight" approach? More like- nah Im not gonna make that joke
@@isabelasemino2929 A bent approach
This show changed my life, I saw it the first day it came out, and I finish it in less than 12 hours, the world,the soundtrack, also the original songs, the characters, especially Kipo. What a character....
There's a lot to love in this series. Can't wait to see where Kipo's character goes...
Fallingwithstyle I have a lot of theories about it
@@veronicapiccinini1981 Awesome! Would love to see them!
Fallingwithstyle wanna hear my theories?
@@veronicapiccinini1981 Sure!
Why is Kipo amazing? Three words: Giant. Lumberjack. Cats.
@Sophia Shulyarenko all of them?
I like everything about the show, especially Troyson. 🥰
I love this show so much, it’s definitely worth your time.
Let’s talk about the chase scenes tho. OH MY GOD THE RUSH!!
Some of the best action I've seen in animation in a long time.
You know what really sold those chase scenes though?
That SOUNDTRACK! Seriously, this has some o the best jams I've ever seen in a series ever!
Which scene
@@geeky8693 literally all of them.
my favorite scene is when Kipo is singing to the mega monkey in ep 4, and in the second season we find out the mega monkey is Kipo's mother, and when you think back to the original scene in ep 4 it makes more sense and its more impactful because shes singing a song that is her mother's favorite.
One of the producers or something tweeted that the wolf costume that wolf wears is actually the mother wolf that took her in. You can see this by the ears being the same
You see, now Wolf gives me Cubone vibes, since Cubone is a Pokémon wearing the skull of their dead mother.
Now that gives a lot of meaning into wolf's costume. Wearing her mama and when she's luring the nerd wolves the song's lyric being i'm like my mama? Whoa..
Thanks to you I see that "Purple Jaguar Eyes" scene in a whole new way. I didn't even think it was that deep at first!
I'm so happy to hear that! I really find it to be such a transcendent sequence.
Finally!!! Somebody who covers this show!!! Definitely subscribing
It needs more attention! Thank you!!!
Me encantas
I watch it a lot!
Not enough people are talking about this show and it really bums me out
I lloobveee this show bruh nneeeddsss more attention
This show has not gotten the buzz it deserves. I'm so glad that it got a Season 2, and I hope that it will find the audience it needs to keep it going for as long as the creators need to tell their story.
I really enjoyed watching this show! I loved the way the world is built up with all these different animal clans and how they interact with the main characters. I also love the design of the world and the characters, it's all so beautiful to look at. I really liked the interaction between the characters especially how Wolf and Kipo almost takes turns in teaching each other life lessons, like how Wolf teaches Kipo how to survive on the surface and Kipo teaches Wolf that kindness can take you further than violence, they just fit so well together.
Really well-said. It's a very reciprocal relationship.
I also think they did a really good job with LGBT representation
They had a straight (heh) up coming out and it wasn't taken as this whole dramatic big thing and- e-
Amelia Preston How not dramatic it was that they dedicated a whole 20 minute episode so Benson could say he's gay. Clap for Benson everyone...
BUT NETFLIX DOES TO MUCH OF IT
@@cluelessflu4673 uh... no, they really didnt. The episode wasnt focused on that. Just because someone comes out as gay onscreen doesnt mean its the focus of the episode. I think the focus was more on Kipo and her birthday aswell as the map issue. Sure Benson was in it but him being gay really wasnt the focus
I think it was good that they didn't make such a big deal of him coming out. IMO we should normalize people coming out or like saying what they prefer.
There were honestly so many things I loved about Kipo. The music!!! So good! Purple Jaguar Eye is such a bop!! The characters were such a breath of fresh air. Usually the protagonist can be.. annoying or.. a Mary Sue. But, Kipo wasn’t either of those. She was hopeful and kind and loving. Even though Wolf continued to push her away, she still loved her as a sister. Benson lovingly rejected her and she still continued to love and care for him, a short bout of embarrassment was bound to be there, but she pushed it aside. I love the idea that she’s half mute. It’s so interesting and I’m really curious about who her mother was. It was also very touching to see Wolf, who hates mutes, realize maybe they aren’t so bad.
Gosh, I haven’t seen many people talk about this show, so it’s super cool seeing a very well thought out and beautiful video. Awesome job! If you’re looking for any other cool Netflix shows to review, The Dragon Prince is pretty awesome..!
Hey! Thank you for checking out this video too!!! This is an extremely nice comment- it really brightened my day. Yes, Kipo is such a fantastic character. I look forward to seeing them delve even further into her mute identity in the second season. All of the character development is on-point.
Completely agree. That is precisely why I made this video! Any way to get the word out on this show even a little bit more is the goal! I'm so glad you feel that I did it justice. And thank you for the recommendation!
Fallingwithstyle I’m literally so happy I made your day! It’s honestly how I feel! I’m really excited to see what else you’re going to put out, and I’m so happy I found your channel! I agree. I’m really hoping we get a season two cuz there’s honestly so many unanswered questions..
Agreed! It was super awesome seeing this video and the wonderful criticism and love you felt for it. Really cool. It’s been so nice to chat with you, to be honest! You’re an awesome RUclipsr!
@@lunaladybug Aw, thank you so much. Well hopefully this makes YOUR day- Season 2 was officially confirmed just yesterday!
You're so kind. I worked hard on it! Very nice to chat with you too! You've got some cool edits on your channel as well! Infinity Train Book 2 is one of my favorite things to come out this year for sure.
Fallingwithstyle ah!!! That’s literally so awesome! I’m so glad! Hopefully it doesn’t get postponed due to what’s going on rn..
I could tell! I’m so happy you feel the same. Oh my gosh, I’m so honored you looked at my channel! I’m so giddy right now. Oh totally. Book 2 was my favorite. I loved book 1 but it was so interesting seeing MT and Jesse’s friendship blossom. So sweet :,)
@@lunaladybug I think we're good since they just announced it now! Plus Netflix Animation is able to work from home. Can't wait for June 12!
Book 2 was for sure my favorite. Their friendship was amazing, and I was so invested in Lake's story. Genuinely wasn't sure if she'd be able to have a happy ending. Thank goodness it all worked out!
I think a show like this does representation really well.
None of our main characters are caucasian, two are girls, the third is gay.
They didn't make a big deal about it, they didn't make it look like its something special, they just did it and when you watch the show you just accept that's how it is.
And that's how it should be, it shouldn't be a big deal, it should be normal! We have room for everything!
You can make a big deal around it but the important thing is tbey actually wrote an great story around them.
I loved how they handled Benson's coming out to Kipo. It felt so realistic, and that's what made it great.
I didn’t know the same dude who worked on spiderverse soundtrack did kipos but it makes so much sense
They just announced season 2, it will come out on June 12th!
Edit: wow! So many likes! Thank you so much
Imagine not having to wait a year for a new season..
@@thejestor9378 lol yes
Source? Don't wanna get my hopes up over nothing here
@@CulturedDegenerate Look ON Netflix it says it when you hover over the show.
Too Much Hentai new trailer and netflix itself.
"Currently only season" Me watching this one June 12th: You are very very wrong.
Never been so happy to be wrong!!!
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 Well of course! Its an amazing show! I get to binge it this today instead of being social as a birthday celebration.
@@callum2585 Can't wait to finish watching all of it. And happy birthday!!!
@@Fallingwithstyle1995 Awww, thanks!
the music selection is what makes it so epic
8:25 - Yes. Yes she has.
Yep, yep, just checking
I thought I was the only one!
Kage Sama ofc
Literally, we all know Wolf has a crush on Kipo, and they better do something with it, or my heart won't be able to take it anymore after Voltron had the Shiro debacle.
I thought I was the only one that thought that
Finally someone acknowledged how wolf totally has a crush on kipo????
The dream alone makes a clear case.
Kipo and the age of wonderbeasts needs a movie comic book which takes all the episodes and makes it into a 3 book comic series.
That would be fitting, seeing as a comic is how it all started!
Cartoons are undrrated, but cartoons like THIS, is CRIMINALLY underated.
PS, love the soundtrack. My family doesn't so I get to jam to it by myself ;)
I just finished the season and DIDN'T REALIZE THAT SHES LITERALLY A PURPLE JAGUAR I'M SO STUPID
I was like "Oh yes, a metaphor, purple jaguar makes sense"
"'when you hear the lyrics 'there's no turning back' it's just as frightening as it is freeing" oh my god you're so right
I loved that scene so much
Kipo was so cool, I hope next season holds up :'0
I really want this show to have a second season. It’s my favorite netflix series so far
Jair Artis you’ll get your wish
Thoughts on season 2?
Binky Bonky
“holy shit I feel bad for scarlamane” also “called the mega monkey”
Binky Bonky One word: EPIC!
I want Season 3 right now! 😩
Why didn't I find out about this sooner? The art style looks so unique and the plot is so interesting for me. I will check it out soon as I can!
Glad I could help you find it!
Kipo and Wolf,(Jolene), MUST be protected
Kipo and the age of wonderbeasts is just perfect i do not want it to end after season 2.
Whoever clicked the dislike they were watching it upside down or they thought it said “ dis I like”
8:26 Wolf most definitely has a crush on Kipo but probably doesn’t understand what her feelings are.
They are children
Thanks to your review, I decided to give Kipo a try. I finished watching it yesterday and completely fell in love with the show. Thank you for recommending
I'm so happy to hear! That is exactly what I was hoping would happen with this video! You are very welcome- thank you for letting me know!
Can we take a minute to appreciate the BOMB soundtrack.
I love that this show is slowly getting more and more attention because its great.
My friend recommended this show to me and I am hooked. Binged season 1 & 2 and I can't wait for season 3. This was a great video. Happy I found someone who makes good quality videos that cover this show.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed.
This was pretty good review funny enough just got down watching the entire season
Oh no way! What fortuitous timing!
I saw this in my recommendations one day and thought "Woah, amazing? That's pretty high praise! Maybe I'll give it a shot." So I didn't watch the video and just binged S1 and S2 and I've never been so happy. The soundtrack is insane, the world building is delightful and the character relationship dynamic is so good that I can't help but rewatch the whole thing again. I just had to come back to this video (because I can now watch without fear of spoilers) and know how loved this show is. I hope you get more people to watch it! This show is amazing!
I’m absolutely delighted to hear that. Shows with this level of attention to detail don’t come along too often, so I really wanted to spread the word and talk about what made it so special. I’m so happy that my video helped you find something that you enjoy so much! Thank you for letting me know!
The LGBT representation, the black main characters, the strong female roles, the critique on rassism and the portraied mutes as stereotypes (often connected to patriarchy) and how they break when it comes to Kipo, her strenght in believing in the good in everybody/ seeing the hurt in everybody and the music connecting all of them. This is a wonderfull series I really enjoyed =)
Yes , this whole show is freaking amazing. The soundtracks are sublime. What a hidden gem this show is, found it when I was randomly scrolling through Netflix
I'm kinda convinced that this show is an Adventure Time prequel.
I see where you’re coming from
It kinda reminded me of the same, but I like kipo more 🙂
@@mylillilu 100
@@mylillilu fin can be annoying
Bruh this is my favorite Netflix original thing and almost my favorite animation
And so glad he abandoned boss baby
This series really resonated with me in a special way because of the similarities with me having to accept that I'm trans and embracing that.
That's awesome!!!
This is the best show I’ve ever watched 10 out of 10 I really hope they make like five more seasons PLEASE
I am a big fan of Kipo and I've been working on my theories about "who will redeem and who will not" on this show!
From the reviews I've seen/read and my personal preference, I can safely say that "Purple Jaguar Eye" has become the most beloved scene/song in season 1.😎🤙🏼💜
i'm four years late here, but i've been watching kipo since a little bit before season 2 released and i've always been a little confused about what was going on with purple jaguar eye. this video perfectly puts it into perspective and now i can enjoy the show even more than i already do (which is a lot). great video!
I’m so happy that season two is coming
I knew I loved Purple Jaguar Eyes, but you made me appreciate the depth of it so much more.
Cuz kipo is amazing. My eight year old found it and it's like avatar and im in love. All hail the mega jaguar.
The appreciation you have for the shows you review shows 100%. Your reviews are certainly top tier and provide a treat after the fact. Looking forward to your season 3 review if and when it comes out!
That’s very kind of you to say. Thank you so much!
THE NEXT SEASON IS COMING OUT IN A WEEK AND I AM SO EXCITED
My favorite part was definitely the song and colors of episode 2 during the intro with benson
Such a great way to introduce a new character. Very memorable.
Watching this from 2-3 years in the future, I agree with all the points and it's like DreamWorks saw this video and said "HERE ARE THE ANSWERS YOU SEEK CHILD!" for the 2nd season! It's awesome!
Always happy to see more people talking about this gem. It deserves it
Ah yes I'm here from the plot..
The plot: Karen Fukuhara
I am such a fan of kipo and I have watched the entire thing like 10 times.This video made it WAY better!
That means a lot! Thank you!
wow, Netflix and Dreamworks have been pumping out a bunch of iconic new shows that I know will be in my heart for the rest of my life
What a beautiful way to put it.
9:40 OH THAT SCENE. I feel sad for her. Imagine being accepted as a member of the pack and, in the end, the Alpha She-wolf says: 'Bitch... Xue Hua Piao Piao Bei Feng Shiou Shiou' :'(
Uh imma assume that roughly translates to “Bitch you thought”
i had heard about this show a lot but never watched it then i got an urge to watch it and man do i not regret it i finished all three seasons in less than a week and everything about it is amazing the world the characters the music (and i agree the purple jaguar eye scene and song are so good and i love them) it's such a beautiful show and i wish it had more seasons but ay least it had enough to satisfy
what's up with dreamworks and releasing so many amazing animated shows
Honestly I kinda think they're better than Disney 😂. Like Disney produced so many great shows and all, but man DreamWorks always remained in my heart most. As well as studio ghibli
I just binged Season 2, only gets better 🤟
Season 2 was even more lit
Dreamworks animated shows have been fire lately.
Ive watched this show 3 times over and it is my 2nd or 1st show, it is so wholesome and just overall amazing, i cannot get it out of my mind
I have watched the whole show twice and I just keep going back and watching Purple Jaguar Eye
Me!
First the creator works on the best movie of 2017, but then bro LITERALLY makes one of the greatest animated shows ever?!
I just watched season 2, and it is AMAZING TOO! It doesn’t have any awesome songs, but it explains everything really well
Yes! I covered season 2 in full here- ruclips.net/video/fBLGoi7IUzI/видео.html
I didn’t think I would like this series but I warmed up to it and I’m working on my third binge marathon.
I am a 21 year old man and i aspire to be like Kipo, Somone who sees the best in people and looks at life as an opportunity to make as Many friends as possible from all Paths of life. This show made me wanna LIVE and not just exist, thankyou for reading this and have an amazing life, you deserve it, take the first step and live.
Words to live by!
A bit of spoilers for season 2 I guess? Idk it’s mainly just a rant on why I love the show.
I love Kipo because of the representation and that even though Kipo is a bit of a doormat heroine she is able to throw some hands whenever required or when appropriate and how simple and sometimes complex yet not dumb-downed for a cartoon the plot is. It really does remind me of Avatar, representation, the ability to disassociate from the main plot with a bit of filler that actually gives us insight into the characters and subtly actually becomes a bit more important than what it seems to be at when introduced. The characters aren’t just surface level and can be analysed deeper and are more humanised than most shows I’ve seen, my favourite example: scarlamagne he isn’t just ‘hates or wants something from the main character for like no reason other than power and we need a villain that’ll reveal an even worse villain.’ *cough*svtfoe*cough* he’s actually got a good reason to despise, dislike or resent Kipo.
Loved everything about kipo, the world building, music, art style and cast of characters, thanks for doing such a great video about it :)
Thank you for such a nice compliment :) so excited that Season 2 just got confirmed!
I love this show its so fresh i wish there were 20 seasons
I rly hope someone who appreciates this show as much as me irl.
3 seasons in one year it's magic

Thank you so much! Working on it right now!
Just watched season 1. Show is absolutely amazing!
They probably could've done it a bit more interesting with animal varietys, which are all basically bigger and have some quirk along with an extra pair of legs or something.
Music in the show is an absolute blast, especially in the chasing scenes, but when i got to the Purple Jaguar Eye I fucking lost it!
It's so good i just can't stop watching it over and over
Holy shit!! I knew it was the same music feels from spiderverse!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!!
The music in the show is RAD. 10th of the next month (payday) Imma buy the album.
I literally listen to Purple Jaguar Eye on loop sometimes it’s so good
It RULES
I ain't gonna lie nore can i stress this enough you literally said everything about the show that i was thinking i fucking loved the show so much csnt wait for season 2 on June 12th. Thanks for an amazing overview I subbed just for that bud.
Glad to hear it. Thanks for subscribing, and I’m so excited for Season 2.

Thanks for talking about my favorite show
I also share the same passion for this show and only wish that it doesn't end anytime soon with season 2.
Here's hoping! It rules.
I guess that's why this reminded me so much of spider verse
I binged the second season last night. Man, this show is awesome
I'm so glad this was recommended to me. I love this show and I'm curious what you think of season 2.
Thank you. I'm happy I could help spread discourse on this great show. Working on my season 2 video now!
Can't say how much I love Kipo. Its a fuckin masterpiece.
Couldn't agree more.
8:26 I most definetly agree! I thought it was too obvious but no one I know seem to notice it.
Season 2 Came out yesterday June 12 :D Season 3 comes out in December 2020
I’m happy because kipo season 2 comes out 1 day after my birthday June 11
Happy birthday in advance!
