Well last Friday a new animated series dropped on Netflix titled 3Below: Tales of Arcadia, kind of a spinoff / contiunation of Trollhunters: Tales Of Arcadia.
The plot is about these royal siblings of a palent that gets attack, they barely make it out alive, and hiding out on Earth disguised as human teenagers along with their bodyguard. Sounds familar. You all might remember a 2010 Cartoon Network series called Sym Bionic Titan which is a cult classic. It does sound a lot like that, though are a differences.
For example Krel and Aja are really siblings, they are not pretending like Lance and Ilana were. So there is not going to be no romantic tension there.
Anyway this is not a which is better question, but let's break the two shows down, what sets them apart, what does one does better than the other, etc.
Well boths shows are not scared to tackle racism, 3Below there is dad of one of the students, who is blandly raciest, it is obvous who he voted for in the last Election, while on SBT we all remember Lance's rival Baron.
Obvious 3Below has better animation, it was made 8 years later, though SBT did have its charm. I do feel the 3Below supporting casts have more of personality and depth to them, though most of them were establish on Trollhunters. While the the SBT supporting cast except for Kimmy and maybe one or two more characters, were one note. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Romance, I am very bias here, maybe I am blinded by my bias, Aja and Steve they are cool, I like Steve's development from bully to likable enough person, but Octus and Kimmy were my jam, they were the character relationship I cared most about on that show, and the show ending with them broken up and Kimmy not yet finding out the truth about our trio, was such an injustice.
Lastly the action, it is even, I love mech and giant robots fighting, so I guess SBT gets the edge.
