Action packed adventures are the primary focus of this show. However, what makes even mostly filler episodes enjoyable are the surprisingly real characters, the strong family bonds, and the consistently well written dialogue and voice acting. Compared to many other cartoons, it actually covers quite a lot in less time. The huge plot twist at the end of the first season was cleverly foreshadowed and does a lot to elevate the main story, heightening the tension of all further developments. Though the last season was sadly cut short and still left me wanting for further exploration of it's intriguing concepts, it still pulled together a fairly complete feeling ending. When moments do get heavy, emotional, or serious you can expect them to be handed extremely well. Argost especially is a truly conniving and memorable villain, and deserves, along with the rest of this show, to receive greater recognition.
