Empower Failure/Oakey Dokey

This is a rough way to start a show. The animation largely looks stiff and lifeless, the character designs range from boring to unfinished, the dialogue often feels forced and unnatural, and the environments are generic and bland. The pacing is rushed, jumping from one place to another with little to no setup. Gretel is often very annoying, though Kevin is likable enough, if not very fleshed out in this episode.

Overall, this was a difficult watch, and while a show is allowed to have bad episodes, the premiere should definitely have gotten more polish. I'm willing to give the show a few episodes to find itself. Dan and his team have done great work with their previous two shows, and it's entirely possible that this was just a hiccup. But if this episode is indicative of the show as a whole, it's going to be a rough ride.
