This is the touch of death recommendation, but... it starts off slow in the first couple of episodes, but it turns out to be pretty fun, especially once they get to the distant planet, and as someone who barely watched the cartoons, I never felt like the show didn't summarize in the moment enough
I’ll definitely get to it eventually but it is just such a strange choice. Reminds me of late-stage MCU, as they’re trying to be like, “Enjoy this movie, but you have to watch three other movies and a tv show to really enjoy it,” and people broadly don’t really like that all that much.
