Hazbin Hotel is very queer, raunchy, and fun. The animated comedy is filled with memorable songs, exciting character arcs, and a thrilling story. The episodes will have you on the edge of your seat, while filling your heart with equal parts joy and angst. Even if it doesn’t sound like it’s fit for you, get it a try.
Hazbin Hotel outperformed every expectation I had for the series. It builds wonderfully on the groundwork of the pilot and Helluva Boss, driving a truly unique story about redemption while laying out interwoven mysteries. The cast shines, bringing to life creator Vivienne Medrano’s world in something so special.
It's an all round fun watch. The voice acting and animation style feels really fluid, and the characters have interesting and compelling designs. The show is colourful, and can be quite funny. The characters are interesting, and the plot, although condensed, is enthralling. The pacing of the show is a bit off, since the show moves really fast. Besides the pacing though, Hazbin Hotel is a really good show.
It's genuinely good, some people of religion definetly won't like this because of how heaven and hell is portrayed here. But the story overall and the songs are greatly composed and written. The animation is great quality too! Just sad that the 2 season is not out yet.
Its lovably layered characters, grouped with its absurdly catchy songs and focused world-building, may very well catapult this series to success. It's still finding itself, but it's having a ball doing so. And so far, we are too.
Besides the mixed joke quality, the frustrating, disorienting camera can sometimes undercut punchlines from landing or diminish dramatic impact. With all its intricate setup early on, you can feel Medrano's ambitious wings get trimmed by corporate streaming demands that are crucial for the show's story pacing. .... Overall, “Hazbin Hotel” checks in with stellar tunes, a skillful voice cast, and balanced charm to round out its hellish setting. It's a sweet, raunchy time many adults, especially musical theater nuts, will proudly enjoy.
The ambition and inventiveness Medrano brings to the series is commendable. Perhaps in the already greenlit second season, Hazbin will slow down and find its groove—that is, if viewers aren’t too put off by the firehose exposition of the first few episodes.
While there’s some fun to be had with its song-and-dance mode, it’s impossible to ignore how closely Hazbin’s concepts of mature themes and comedy match up with those of a 15-year-old boy.
While “Hazbin Hotel” has the aesthetic accomplishment one would expect of a longtime animator given the chance to realize her vision, it’s less successful in translating the pilot’s big, abstract ideas into a legible world with a cogent tone.
Hazbin Hotel's art style is a top notch blend of Disney and 30s animation, with a touch of genndy tartakovsky - a true joy to watch, with some of the strongest character design I've seen recently as well. The overall mix made me think of a Nightmare before Christmas in some sort of hellish Moulin Rouge setting, very peculiar. The voice acting is also brilliant, dialogues are well written and some of the themes hinted at are actually mature.
It's a shame that the narrative itself isn't particularly mature, every character is hyper pretty much all the time and they swear constantly, making the show feel like a restless adolescent. If Hazbin Hotel took its time to explore more deeply its main theme - I'd say power play, since most characters here struck a deal with one devil or another - it would have been a true gem. Also the main idea of the screenplay isn't really developed (minor spoilers ahead): Charlie runs a hotel where damned souls can redeem themselves and avoid heavenly exterminations, but she just fails, and they end up fighting the legions of heaven in a good ol' final battle, making the show premise a bit pointless.
Anyway. Amazing animation style (and Alastor is exactly as charismatic as it's meant to be) and some great music numbers (could maybe tone that down to one per episode). Curious about season 2!
I would have loved this in 8th grade but nowww it's okay. Pretty fun with cool character designs and the storyline is interesting but the jokes just aren't landing and it just doesn't feel actually "adult" it's more for middle school queen kids and that's totally fine. The songs are also a hit or miss but the ones that hit really do HIT
This series is horrendous, only the production of the film is good because the rest is garbage, the story and the meaning of the film is null. That's all
Hazbin Hotel is the simple definition of a unnecessary creation of a stupid creation of a show.
Hazbin Hotel descends into chaos, earning its rock-bottom medal as the "Most Unnecessary Show Created". Excessively crude humor drowns out any potential plot with a barrage of profanity and vulgarity with no fun aspects. While the adult animation style might seem edgy, it quickly overwhelms with its relentless potty-mouthed jokes.
The limited storyline adds to the frustration. With just a pilot and a few episodes, the core plot feels underdeveloped, leaving viewers with more questions than answers. The uneven tone is another turn-off. Hazbin Hotel swings wildly between dark themes of addiction and violence to childish slapstick humor, creating a jarring experience. Technical hiccups, especially on some early releases, exacerbate the problems.
Including the fact of changing the biblical perspectives and justifying the idea that Lucifer is simply a "Misunderstood Free Thinker" and that he is simply a "Victim" of god's will.
