I went in pretty skeptical, but I have to say, it's good enough for me to feel comfortable saying it's actually more Futurama. There's a small hump to get over with the voice actors having aged, but unless you're an existing hardcore fan who's listening for it, I think Hermes is the only that sounds noticeably different, but I can get used to it.

I also feel like it's strangely anachronistic in referencing modern day trends and technology. Futurama began in a time before streaming and all of that existed, so hearing it reference these things sticks out like a sore thumb, but it's not like Futurama didn't already reference real life subjects outside of Sci Fi, it's just something I'll get used to as the novelty wears off and it settles in with the rest of the show in my mind.

Overall, not earth shatteringly good, but I enjoyed it, and I'll absolutely be on the hook to keep going as more episodes are released.

Fry definitely sounds different, Hermes I didn't notice.

Honestly though, it's not something that matters or bothers me especially with the actual context of the episode. The same timejoke for Benders beer being flat is why Fry's voice aged, for reasons! lol

I kind of took it like time progressed during the pause in the final episode, so even though Professor reset it there was still some advancement based on the atomic calendar.
