Like so many other books I’ve reviewed, I’ve had this since I was a kid. It's just a top-tier experience for animation fans.Pierce, Tamora.

It seems like it's become a cliche at this point with each of Tartakovsky's helmed successes thus far, but Unicorn: Warriors Eternal somehow tops everything that has come before. It's just something you want to see over and over again.Įvery single frame of Unicorn: Warriors Eternal is just cool to watch, and each episode makes the story all the more compelling as it fleshes out a much wider saga than fans might have expected when jumping in at first.

There are close-up scenes where characters are just sitting in their emotions and speaking, and those turn into some of the most gorgeous shots of the series overall.

Harder-edged designs are usually reserved for the more terrifying, and even then, everything in Unicorn: Warriors Eternal feels bouncy in nature. The characters are all designed to be hugely expressive with big round eyes, and more rounded features overall. It never once feels detached from the reality of everything.Įven with these heavier burdens of character development, Unicorn: Warriors Eternal feels appropriate for a wide audience. You want to see an elephant? How about a monster one! Pirates? How about skeleton, ghost pirates! Everything feels weighted and real despite the fantastical setting, and there are legitimate consequences for the grander action sequences. Everything is laid out in terms of being clean and easy to follow, but features imaginative sequences.įor example, those hoping to see some of the Primal spice in here are rewarded as Unicorn: Warriors Eternal has some creatures that are grounded in our reality in terms of design, but have added bits of flare to make them a bit more fantastical. That high attention to detail is in everything from the biggest sequences (which use both the steampunk setting and the core trio's magical abilities to great effect) to the smaller character beats. With a strong heart in its characters and compelling story, Unicorn: Warriors Eternal then takes this to the next level with the detail-oriented action animation that fans have come to expect from Genndy Tartakovsky's helmed series.
