Brief Hazbin Hotel review
Feb. 4th, 2024 01:19 am Recently watched the entirety of Hazbin Hotel, and I have a few thoughts on it.
I found it fun, but very lacking. It really felt like it was intended to have 20 episodes but instead condensed all that information into 8 episodes, and it really suffers from it because you either get very little development or we do get development but it isn't earned. The pacing is extremely weird.
I loved the animation, the characters and am a big fan of the aesthetic but I do wish there was more outfit variety.
I found the music mostly forgettable, but some of the songs were really fucking good.
I am not a fan of the humor or the overuse of cursing in the dialogue, it felt really juvenile and cheap.
Surprisingly they actually handled the topic of Angel's trauma with so much care and maturity. I really appreciated that.
I found the relationships between the characters really forced because there just wasn't enough time to develop any of them or flesh out their dynamics. Again, an issue with the pacing and the amount of episodes
The premise has a lot of potential but limiting it to only 8 episode really killed it. Hopefully the second season is better. It was fairly enjoyable but flawed in very glaring ways. I mostly find it sad that as I kept watching I kept thinking about how much better the show could be.
