Anyway, outside of the choppy writing of the first few episodes, the only real problem is that the animation hasn't aged well.

That's what I like about Beast Wars and Animated, the ragtag misfits that grow into a genuine team of respect and trust.

And yeah, 90's CG is usually pretty crappy by today's standards. Still has some charm, though.

I like Rattrap. Always have, but I'm appreciating him more by having a character who doesn't have faith in his leader (The closest we've got to another like him was in Animated, and even then, it was more just them not obeying every order with no question).

Yeah, that made the casts memorable and more interesting for both series.

And I really wouldn't agree with that. While I can tolerate the choppy CG, it's really not very good in the slightest. I'm only giving it leeway because it was, what, the 2nd show to be 100% CG animated?

Oh yeah.
I love how Mikey gets annoyed whenever his coworkers do some random Anime art shift like the super-deformed "WHA?! Faces," and he tries to induce the effect befor giving up and calling them showoffs.

I found the show unwatchable for that exact reason, I guess it's just gonna have to stay fond in my memories.

Alright new episode of Beware, this really was a return to form after last weeks misstep. I loved this weeks villain and all the cool moments Alfred got. Plus having the general tone not overly kidified certainly helps as well.

However my continuous gripes are with the animation and character designs, the show is well directed and stages the action well but everyone looks so out of proportion and fights always come across more like two nets caught in a whirlwind. Ugly, ugly, ugly.

I remembered it. I like it quite a bit. I always wondered what other nationalities would look like in that show.
