Whether interest for the series will exist outside of those who share that same innate institutional knowledge remains to be seen. But as a visual playground and an assembly of colorful compatriots, Neo Yokio carries its own singular delights. No robot butler required, but it’s the kind of show that’ll make you wish you had one.
There’s a fair bit of international pop-cultural cross-pollination taking place in the show, and there’s pleasure in picking out the references. It will be a limited pleasure for many (if they feel it at all), but for the fan of this sort of thing, it will be sufficient.

It seems like this show is a hit or miss for many people, but I personally really enjoyed the show. It's super easy to binge watch if that's what you are up for because the episodes are 20 minutes each. I really liked all of the characters and the feel of the show. Something about it was really enjoyable for me.

SEASON 1
While simultaneously showing warmth to the genre, but ends up not being as weird and loopy as one might hope for.
Without enough character development, Neo Yokio is luxuriating in its own capitalist satire by repeatedly focusing on the lavish excess afforded to Kaz and his peers.
Neo Yokio is a brilliant, unexpected gem - mostly relying on its very subtle sense of humour and exquisitely weird combination of elements (exorcism?fashion?toblerone?communism?). Loved it because it felt genuinely surreal and over the top without the need to rub it in the viewer's face. Definitely a grower, not a shower. Highly reccommended!

SEASON 1
All jokes aside the shows dog **** the animations passionate but needs work, the story is horrid, the characters are unlikable **** and I had a migraine after three episodes, I wanted to like this, I went in with an open mind never hearing anything about this show but this show single handed-ly makes me question if I should go into shows blind anymore. Oh and the dialogue, **** me, the dialogue. With all that said this show does have a charm and I do hope that if they make a season 2 it succeeds where season one fails because I want a show like this to succeed, it’s unique, the side characters like his best friends and the butler are more interesting than kaz himself, the main ****ing character... actually I wouldn’t mind if they just killed him off and made his best friends and butler the main characters. With all that said, it seems like on episode 5 they finally got their act together and made a good anime, kaz was still an absolute idiot but he was actually starting to try to not be a ****, but Helena is the most annoying character I have ever seen honestly and the ending took me back to migraine town, i really want this show to be good, it has potential, so I’m praying season 2 will be more like episode 5 and 6 and less like *shudders* 1-3

SEASON 1
This show was not as bad as I thought it would be, but it’s still bad. The animation is terrible, it can sometimes be funny, but not because the jokes are clever, and it tries to do too many things at once exorcism, mechs, socioeconomic issues? No character in the show has any depth, I hardly know the backstory of any of the characters and worst of all its cringy to watch.
And the fact that Jaiden Smith of all people made this show… the irony

SEASON 1
It is a pointless show about arrogant pretentious aristocrats and their superficial adventures. There is nothing of substance here. The show fails to be anything. This show tries to be a drama, satire, or comedy, but fails to succeeds at being any of those categories .

SEASON 1
Neo Yokio suffers severely from Netflix's usual inattention to its animated series. The animation is of unreasonably poor quality and a ridiculously low framerate. The voice acting is terrible and flat. And the cherry on top of it all? The main character is an insufferable, petty, upperclass sadboy who's unsatisfied with his life because he's only the second most eligible bachelor in Neo Yokio (as indicated by the Bachelor Ranking Board in the middle of the city) and his girlfriend left him to go live somewhere else. You'd be better off watching One Piece fan animations because it would take a miracle to fix this pile of ****
