    Loved it, ep 2 is great also. Feels old school and very new at the same time. Clear anime influences but just seems to be held up by really good writing. Excited to see how the first season goes

    Animation felt familiar, like watching Avatar: The Last Airbender.

    Way less mature than I expected - like the paper route kids inclusion showed the audience they are fishing for. I am not against it (as I will let my kids watch it now) but it felt like it was going to be initially marketed for Cartoon Network.

    Lastly I am confused why adult Superman is nerfed so hard. He is weak and struggles to break the robots and appears to have no knowledge of his powers. He is shown to have these powers since childhood but is still a novice? Just weird but I guess gives room to grow.

      Yea it seems like they're trying to go for some cliché anime power up thing. Like Goku going super saiyan. It also gives him a means for struggle. I'm not really a fan of it, but I enjoyed the...

      He’s still stronger than the classic Superman before power creep turned him into having godlike power.

      The original spec was to be faster than a speeding bullet and more powerful than a locomotive. He couldn’t even fly, they just thought flying was easier to animate than jumping over stuff when they made the original cartoons.

    I saw this recommended to me and was kind of taken aback by it. It just seemed like such an odd thing to see on the Adult Swim channel. Anyone wanna tell me what they liked about it?

      I personally like having more "grounded" Superman stories, like in Smallville (mostly), so this is nice for me!
