Bee & Puppycat: Lazy in Space

Bee and Puppycat: Lazy in space or just Bee and Puppycat is an animated show featuring a cast of 20-ish-something young adults that is still IMO family friendly .

It is a chill mellow with an air of whimsy and mystery, as characters just trying to find their place in life and a bit of fishbowl space, and you also get to find clues about where they are and hints at what they are and have been.

It started out as a YouTube series funded by Frederator, and went threw a bit trouble finding a platform, it is now airing on Netflixs It has Sailor Moon, Steven Universe with a bit of Adventure time Vibes(which makes sense considering the Natasha Allegri work on Adventure Time(behind fiona and cake) and over the garden wall( co wrote on 3 episodes of otgw)) So if you like any of those shows, give it a try.

Nowadays cartoon series are waaaay to jumpy and overfeeding you with information and stimulation that you feel overwhelmed and tired after watching them.

This series however is a high quality content, that keeps you curious and exited while giving you a mental break from all the overstimulation that is happening in our world. It's like watching lofi hiphop as a series. It's also very funny and the visuals are full of eye candy. The creativity is on a very high level too so you feel like you are taking a journey into a different world. You always want to watch more because the way they built the storyline makes it seem like it's a relaxed show but the content is actually pretty deep and mysterious. So I really hope they make another season, so we can all dive more into this amazing world of mystery, fun and relaxation.

This show contains the absurd comedic chaos of adventure time with the pastel good-feel aesthetic of Steven universe. The first episode is a little weird if you haven't watched the original (free on YouTube, also highly recommend), but I hope that more people will give it a chance. I recommend this show as one that gave me a lot of joy, but also presented the difficult aspects of life in a relaxed, comforting and creative way. Each character has a background in hardship, some subtle and less explored, others undeniably heartbreaking, and the story doesn't really attempt to resolve these hardships (at least not this season) but there is an impicit attitude of acceptance in character interactions which makes the show sort of consoling. It is best to watch this show with relaxation in mind, as the plot is secondary to the atmosphere in my opinion. That's not to say the plot is uninteresting, as it is quite the opposite, and I am eager to hear the announcement of subsequent seasons to continue where it left off.

When I first watched this show, I thought it was Japanese because of the animation style and quality. In combination with the music and relaxed tone of the voice acting, the atmosphere of the show has no parallel. There are also so many cute and hilarious details that make a rewatch just as enjoyable. Overall, cannot recommend enough. This has become an absolute favourite of mine and I just can't get enough!

Having discovered the web series on Channel Frederator way back when, I was extremely excited to learn the the continuation was coming to Netflix. Though when watching it, I realized it was part continuation and part retelling. There are some clips and references to the web series but with a fresh new take and new story. Netflix is known to give their content creators full range to make the show however they want, so seeing Natasha Allegri take full reigns on the show made it all the better. The animation is beautiful at times and fun/cute at others without it coming off too bubbly. With more episodes, it gave audiences time to explore the characters, the worlds and the possibilities of the show. The show doesn't take itself too seriously and knows its audiences. That's not to say it's all style and no substance. It's action packed but the action never takes away from the story, it's weird but not nonsensical and more importantly its never boring. This show has scenes beautifully animated, good visual gags, as well as good jobs and the voice acting is spot on. If I had any complaint, it would be sometimes we spend a tad long on certain side characters, but it never turned me off from the show. This has easily become my favorite show to come out of 2022.

BEE & PUPPYCAT (2022) was a profoundly unique, lovely experience. In my opinion, it is an adorable story of a one-of-a-kind friendship between an oddball woman named Bee (old lady?) and a fiesty space creature called PuppyCat, who "looks like a cat but smells like a puppy". Season 2 adds more depth to the world (island/space) and further develops the characters. As a whole, this retro-esque chibi sci-fi series gives off high levels of quirk. Charming, quaint, poignant and kinda bizarre--this show really has a lot of heart and soul. And it's difficult to explain this show really. It is wholly original and fresh, with beautifully designed world, vividly imagined characters, pastel colored aesthetics and honestly--something extremely and extraordinarily calming about it.

While there is much emotional and nostalgic depth here, and plenty of cute everyday stories going on, it's also quite surreal and metaphysical, at times even mind-bending and nearing on the trippy, sci-fi psychedelic side. It's a great series to watch and rewatch, and the slow, peaceful vibes make it a great bedtime show as well. It might just chill you to sleep. ; ) That may sound bad, but it's not in actuallity.

I really love this series, the artwork, the world, the characters and its incredibly moving atmosphere...oh, did I mention music? The retro mellow OST is really amazing, beautiful and memorable. I hope to see more like it in the future. Definitely worth the watch and rewatches. Completely far out there and filled with such random bizarre cuteness! Such a uber sweet, perfect series. A creative work of genius. Loved it! Both seasons!!
