I really like this show, it feels new, and we dont get new very often. The animation style is bohemian, kooky and shows so much style and unique flavour. The music choices really lift what could be a very sterile subject. Voice delivery is varied and fits perfectly within the animation style. There are references to big pharma practices, drug culture and enviromental preservation that somehow don't bog down the show with seriousness thanks to the off-kilter humour that doesn't force its way in, nor outstays its welcome.
