Top tier animation and style.

Bottom tier writing.

It fucking kills me because I wanted it to be good so badly due to the high quality art and animation, but it's written so amateurishly and immaturely, I can't get past it. The writing was dead before the ship even sank.

It's like a teen who just figured out how to cuss for the first time. Even Cannibal the Musical handled it better than this, and that was pre-South Park from the South Park numbskulls, who aren't exactly known for being "mature."

I'm CIS white dude who is rapidly approaching 40, the show is not made for me. When the pilot came out I watched it and I was rooting for the production crew; even watching some of the animatics the production crew made while podcasting.

The contents of what I've seen from watching the pilot and a little bit of the full series isn't intended for me. The struggles the characters are going through are hard for me to relate to. I'm also never a fan of Abrahamic religious framing, I find it banal. I wish the production crew the best, but I have no intention of watching more than what I've seen.

I liked it a lot, its a tier above most of the streaming services. Helluva Boss set my expectation high and they were nearly met.

I'm happy for the artist but I am also longing for more Helluva Boss as well. I hope the artist kept their IP in the deal.

It's a musical, the songs are catchy.

However I disliked how fast paced the writing was, and how even though it's called "Hazbin Hotel" and the pilot framed it as a sort of slice of life "bunch weirdos" hanging out and getting redemption, instead that weirdly became the B plot?

Somehow they took the whole story and shifted it over to the B plot and pulled this other big high stakes thing out as the A plot.

That's not really what I was wanting to watch, and it feels a bit like they hit swapped out the story on me, so I kinda got a bit turned off by that.

I don't give a shit about some high stakes angels vs demons war end game shit.

I wanted to see interpersonal relationships of weirdos learning to co-exist.

Tl;dr: I was expecting something closer to The Good Place, but instead that got side lined by some huge MCU style plot no one asked for.

I loved the pilot (ep. 0?) but was disappointed by episode 1. The change in voice actors really threw me, and the writing wasn't as clever.

Now I have my eyes on The Amazing Digital Circus.

I enjoyed it, but not a lot. It very clearly panders to former drama kids and fanfiction.net readers. Overall, I think helluva boss is better.

I'm also not super into musical numbers in general though, which is a big part of the show.

I quite liked it, don't usually like musical shows but the tunes are catchy and somewhat funny sometimes

I didn't enjoy it. It seems lime something I would have enjoyed when I was in middle school or high school.

I really quite enjoyed it, but if you have 0 stomach for musicals you won't like it

I really enjoyed watching it with some friends. I’m not usually a fan of musicals, but most of the songs were good and paced well enough I actually looked forward to them

I watched and was mildly interested until the singing kicked in, then I had to nope out.

Used to be cool, not any more

Having soundtrack on the loop :)

I'm CIS white dude who is rapidly approaching 40, I really enjoyed it overall.

I personally really don't like the art style but tried watching part of the first episode before I stopped and had to say "nope, this really isn't for me".

The way I like to think of it is being like Labyrinth if Labyrinth was set in a hotel tycoon type of setting. It's eye candy and ear candy but not food for thought. It's literally just pizzazz.

Haven't seen it either, my impression is that it's today's Homestuck - a lot of the fun is because of the distinctive characters and fandom community.

Fun setting, concept, and animation, but the overall writing quality is extremely poor. Significantly worse than the pilot, especially when it comes to the exposition.

I only saw the first two episodes or so, but I didn't really enjoy it. It reminded me of Drawn Together, same kind of "irreverent" humor, though admittedly I enjoyed Drawn Together when it was on TV as a teenager.
