Neo Yokio - interesting but flat?

Netflix’s Neo Yokio has the makings of a brilliant anime, but fails the execution https://t.co/Pm5JlMt4ky pic.twitter.com/yNusQcwYEX

* Helmed by Ezra Koenig it reads as parody but is completely un-ironic

I'll be watching this because of Jaden + the illustrious Bodega Boys.

Uzi Vert such an icon, got an anime bout him already. 😢😢😢

[pikapika217]

I give it a firm 'eh', especially since this isn't a self parody, but that's largely off the strength of watching it in french instead of Jaden's flat delivery.

is there a japanese dub? i've never watched an anime in english and i've definitely read jaden's performance isn't worth it

[pikapika217]

No, just french and spanish as alt. As far as delivery -

It's just very flat. I would swap the audio back to english for Desus & Mero moments - or to hear new characters english voices - but Jaden is a mess.

ethpañol of ethpaña or the cool spanish (latin-america)?
