Staying Sweet With Hello Kitty’s Sweet Moments

Hello, fellow kitties! And meow to you all! While a hellish groovy music video within the adults-only category of modern animation online has received acclaim for its expansion on a four-armed frenemy’s development in the afterlife [19] [33] [34], a brand new series of webisodes starring a certain iconic and youthful cat from Sanrio that has been established online to welcome her to the beginning of a new decade is remaining sure to captivate viewers with its U-rated elements [9] [10] [11]. Ever since the mid-1970s, Kitty White has cuted many consumers out with her kawaii aesthetics on many clothing items and accessories, thus being referred to as “Hello Kitty”, her stage name [12] [15]. Speaking of being cuted out, I still remember being delighted from receiving a Hello Kitty tent after crafting it in exchange for five-hundred Hello Kitty gyroidites in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp while plenty of other animal crossers’ avatars snacked on Hello Kitty fortune cookies back in mid-2019 [1] [20] [21]. As someone who cosplayed as her twin sister Mimmy during Halloween later that year [17] [29] [30] [31] [32], I am more than delighted to analyse the first three weekly sweet moments on the official YouTube channel she shares with other Sanrio characters [8] [13].

This kawaii kitty from a Japanese company is back and sweeter than ever in her sweet moments! [11]

The art style is quite refreshing, to say the least [9] [10] [11]. Even though Kitty’s head is more oval-shaped than usual, she still looks super cute as a cat that is as tall as a stack of five apples [15]. The colouring in plenty of aspects, including her eyes and bow, consist of tiny white gaps to make it resemble amateur colouring within a traditional drawing. It may be quite off-putting to some degree, but it may increase the appeal of the new web series for young viewers. However, the style of the colouring reminds me of the choppy colouring in the Deadpool’s Head app [6] [7]. The backgrounds are very plain with hardly much detail, but they at least help Kitty and aspects she interacts with stand out well and remind me of the extreme simplicity of the asdfmovie series [25] [26] [27] [28]. The animation’s smooth and steady flow enriches the freshness of the new art style as an element of exceptional quality. Even though the new art style for Sweet Moments with Hello Kitty may not be every Hello Kitty fan’s strawberry milkshake, it can still be seen as quite a fresh new look for a brand new establishment of the iconic gijinka’s life.

It is quite amusing how Kitty’s bow, her face, her whiskers and the recipe book stand out from a transparent layer that spawned from the flour being poured into the mixing bowl. Aside from that, the animation and art style give the web series its own source of individuality. [10]

The premise of the show is basically Kitty doing ordinary things, such as baking an apple pie and practising tennis with a tennis ball machine [9] [10] [11]. The plots are very simplistic, which suits Kitty’s guiltless lifestyle of being a young Bobtail cat. One rather amusing moment of irony is when the tennis ball machine shoots out a bottle of water instead of another tennis ball after Kitty exhales from exhaustion from hitting a flock of balls with her racket in “Friendly Rewards” [9]. A creatively symbolic moment is when our loveable feline makes hearts appear above her head by thinking lovingly and then gathering them to complete the apple pie she baked in “Made With Love” [10]. The plot consists of the most conflict is the one in “Sweet Solutions” as it is about Kitty trying to figure out which ice-cold sweet treat would be the safest to snack on in hot weather [11]. With such simple and innocent scenarios, it looks like the web series is not called “Sweet Moments with Hello Kitty” for nothing. Additionally, the simplistic formula at least consists of conflict, creativity or irony to be somewhat engaging for the audience and ought to stay that way for more episodes.

A tennis ball machine that shoots out a bottle of water after a session. How convenient. [9]

What about my thoughts on the audio? There is very little voice acting in the shorts, not because Kitty’s kawaii face lacks a mouth [9] [10] [11]. You can at least hear her giggle softly when she is happy and sigh when she feels bummed or exhausted. I believe that the same amount of voice acting will apply to Mimmy White or Dear Daniel if either of them ought to make an appearance in another short [14] [17]. The theme tune that plays during the title screens sounds so calming with chimes of child-like innocence, thus reminding me of some examples of music from MySims for the Nintendo Wii [5]. I also like how slightly more dramatic samples of music play when rather unfortunate events happen, such as when the scoops of Kitty’s ice cream fall onto the ground as they fit the feeling of casually encountering them [11]. I would not be surprised if a delightfully motivating superhero fanfare will play if a new episode welcomes back Ichigoman, Kitty’s superhero persona who debuted back in 2011 [16]. The elements of the audio for the first three weekly shorts in Summer 2020 have been practically and competently produced, further increasing the quality and child-like innocence of the series.

While samples of the music are often cheerful to suit the honeyed tones of each episode [9] [10] [11], the variety of foley sounds in the first three shorts are also competent, such as the sound of a tennis ball being whacked by Kitty’s racket. [9]

While Kitten Catfe is such a cute and creative toy line for toy reviewers and the youth of today [18], Sweet Moments with Hello Kitty is a sweet treat for Hello Kitty fans of all ages in the second half of 2020 [9] [10] [11]. Its adorable and overly innocent outcome is yet another way to benefit our mental health during the coronavirus pandemic [2] [3]. Moreover, it might as well receive my nomination for “The Cutest Cartoon Of 2020”, even though there are only three episodes so far. Furthermore, I shall look forward to some more animated shorts week after week throughout the rest of the year. You and I may miss a certain era of time we refer to as “the good old days”, but at least we can still look forward to discovering new additions of our favourite franchises, including forthcoming video games like Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart [23] [24]. Aside from young people today tuning in to Sweet Moments with Hello Kitty, some older audiences shall be ready to rock their rage out with the third season of Aggretsuko in August [4] [22]. Stay sweet in your sweet moments, fellow kitties!

Hello Kitty can never have too many fans [15]! [11]

Welcome back to artistic damnation, fellow sinners and admirers of animation for adults! A few days after a certain pink-wigged internet personality managed to sell “gamer girl” condoms [2] [3] [4], a brand new animated music video was uploaded on the YouTube channel ran by the talented and inspirational Vivienne Medrano [17]. Over eight months after the success of the pilot of Hazbin Hotel that roared like the fires of Hell [20], we finally get to see more of Angel Dust, arguably the pilot’s most iconic character in association with a groovy techno song produced by Silva Hound and sang by Michael Kovach and Chi-Chi named “Addict” [27] [28]. Since I have critically praised the pilots of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss [20] [21] [38] [39], I have had some high expectations for the music video before its release as I spotted its two teasers on the official Hazbin Hotel Twitter timeline [6] [7]. Surely there have been other artists drawing their own redesigns of the cast of Hazbin Hotel during its rise in popularity [1], but their canon designs are still being used in the official music video for “Addict” to honour the popularity of a special circle of Hell [17].

Who knows? There can always be fanmade versions of the music video with one of the remixes of the song and alternative designs of Angel Dust [28]. [1]

Anyway, since I have once again been dragged to Hell [24], let the analysis begin! [17]

Once again, the art style and animation are absolutely magnificent [17]. Aside from the enchantingly gorgeous pink spider web behind Angel Dust at the strip club [6] [7] [23], there are striking green flames, dazzling purple flames and convincing clouds of smoke from bombs during a certain daring dame’s destructions. The backgrounds once again have carefully selected colour palettes to suit the energetic beat of the song and emotions of the characters. Additionally, I adore how there is a mesmerising aquarium behind the two antiheroes at some point, which could be proof of the four-armed frenemy’s fondness of pacing through an aquarium [11]. The characters move smoothly and quite frantically as part of the excellent quality put into the successful pilot of Hazbin Hotel maintained in the music video [20], especially during a bird’s-eye view of Cherri Bomb that rotates during her an explosion spree on rooftops. Even though I wonder how the heck would it rain green liquid in Hell, I still thought the raining effect was pretty cool. Medrano’s talented team of artists and animators have given the music video set in her own circle of Hell a familiar lot of artistic value [20] [21], partially bringing back memories of the animated music video that starred a werewolf named JJ [19].

And of course, there is satanic imagery, such as the pentagram behind the antiheroic allies since the intellectual property is set in Hell [20]. Furthermore, how can there be an aquarium in the depths of Hell? Apparently, fish can be sinners on Earth as well unless the fish were borrowed from Heaven. There are brighter and more striking colour palettes for when Angel Dust and Cherri Bomb are feeling empowered. [17]

And there are duller and more depressing colour palettes during the moments when Angel Dust is looking tormented. The animation is excellent, even though the flow of the dollars being earned by Angel Dust for his strutting is slightly choppy. [17]

It turns out that the character who consists of the vocals of Chi-Chi in the music video is Cherri Bomb instead of Molly [17] [38] [39]. At least Chi-Chi’s amazing singing suits Cherri very well as she was voiced by Krystal LaPorte in the pilot [13]. It is quite a relief that she managed to flick one of her bombs away before it exploded out of sight after the solo verse began. Before that, the rebellious nemesis of Sir Pentious is seen launching her bombs on rooftops during her comrade’s performance at the strip club. I love how the one-eyed antiheroine sings along with Angel Dust dresses up with him as a loyal friend of his. I do not doubt that plenty of Hazbeans enjoyed watching their synchronised dance routine at another strip club. I can say that the masterpiece of a music video expands on the alliance and loyalty between Angel Dust and Cherri Bomb [20]. Hell would usually be an intimidating place for terrible people to pay the price, but its Vivziepop circle is sometimes a place for two best friends to get their grooves on [17].

It looks like Cherri Bomb can also throw bottle-shaped bombs in the name of female empowerment in Pentagram City. [17]

But seriously, does she always have to blow something up? Even places where no threat is being aimed at her? [17]

I can tell from the beginning that the music video takes place at some point before the comic that takes place before Charlie Magne, the princess of Hell tells Hell’s population about her dream of helping sinners redeem themselves [8] [9] [10] [20]. Valentino, the pimp accompanied by two female characters as he watches Angel’s performance blows a red breeze of tobacco smoke as a symbol of his lust towards him, especially when the tip of it forms a hand to swiftly stroke his chin [17]. The proactive and promiscuous antihero has been considered physically attractive to many folks in Hell. Hell, he receives disturbing letters from fans to prove that [20]. That still does not justify Valentino’s controlling actions and the terrible impact they have on Angel Dust [8] [9] [10] [14]. Furthermore, I would love to see his reputation get ruined at some point in a line of new episodes of Hazbin Hotel throughout the 2020s [14]. The end of the music video that features an exclusive and far more melodramatic verse of the song takes place at some point after the events of the pilot and seems likely to be featured in the next episode as it shows Angel Dust rejecting Charlie’s attempt at kindness at the hotel [17] [20].

Ah. The music video definitely takes place before the pilot as we see the same fella who engaged in sexual activity with Angel Dust [20]. [17]

A panel of the comic that is a prequel to the pilot showing Valentino being controlling towards Angel Dust [14]. [9]

There is a less powerful side of Angel Dust shown in a few scenes of the music video [17]. The way he has a meltdown was quite unnerving to watch. Nonetheless, it was touching to see Cherri Bomb attempt to comfort him during some short transitions to a bleaker side during the first chorus, which shows a more humane side of her. The red scent from Valentino’s smoking is also briefly seen coiling his target’s neck and wrists to symbolise his desires to dominate him solely because of his physical attractiveness [8] [9] [10] [14]. The moments when Angel seemed to feel weaker than he would normally seem to feel point to a theory that he is a victim of sexual abuse, especially during the moment he has to kiss Valentino against his own will, which adds more to how he was created at the time Medrano was in a toxic relationship [11] [38] [39]. Even though I was once non-canonically treated to the four-armed sex symbol re-enacting quotes from Bayonetta [30], I am quite saddened by how he ended up being taken advantage of by someone he works for [8] [9] [10] [14], leading to a canonical decline of his mental well-being as shown towards the end of the music video [17].

Even though Angel Dust spouted plenty of sexual humour in the pilot of Hazbin Hotel [20], the abuse he gets haunts him, which explains why he threw some wine glasses across the room in an unstable manner. [17]

I may have been a bit peeved at Angel Dust giving Charlie the finger at the hotel, but I can still that he is still feeling anxious about being confronted by Valentino, even when he is holding the cigarette that spawns a similar red fume to the controlling pimp exhaled at the strip club. The way it was curved into the shape of a heart after he tosses it onto an ashtray could be a sign of him possibly having Stockholm syndrome, but I digress as that is more likely to apply to Vincent Brooks from Catherine [40] [41]. [17]

Let us look into some other characters. At some point during Cherri Bomb’s Michael Bay inspired antics [32], she shortly reflects on another character who briefly resembles Arackniss, the older brother of Angel Dust who is usually tough towards him [12] [17]. Speaking of Arackniss, it was mentioned by Medrano that he would be given a redesign in the show [17], compared to his appearance in Daddy Issues, an animatic created in 2015 during Hazbin Hotel’s development [18]. The female demon who is accompanied by Valentino looks a lot like Millie from Helluva Boss [21]. Since she seems to be a lesbian instead of a male co-worker’s wife [17], could she be Millie’s sister? The reason for Fat Nuggets, the adorable pet pig of Angel Dust being present in Hell might be a reference to how consuming meat from pigs is prohibited in Islam [35]. Nevertheless, he sure brings a more humane side of his owner as somewhat predicted in my analysis of the French dub of the pilot [36] [37]. Aside from how the cast of radically designed characters appears to have slightly increased, let us hope that more episodes of Hazbin Hotel will lead to the antihero’s freedom from Valentino’s sexual manipulation [14].

Arackniss [12]? Is that you? I guess Cherri Bomb does not like you very much. [17]

A Millie look-alike snogging a red-haired cat-like lady. [17]

Despite how I believe that YouTube and its service have gotten worse and worse as the years went on [5] [31] [34], there will always be something new from a content creator to be bewitched by. Plenty of Hazbeans are still curious about what will happen next after the events of the pilot [20], but at least a hellishly stunning music video taking place before the events is one hell of a treat for them in the second half of 2020 [17]. Am I addicted to the feeling and getting higher than the ceiling [27] [28]? Well, I shall hope that the four-armed frenemy will find a way to overcome the sexual abuse he received, along with those being abused in real life finding a way out as well [15] [26] [29] [33]. His development has come a long way since the moment an earlier interpretation of him looked deranged and murderous when unfitting music played back in 2013 [22]. While plenty of old school Nintendo nerds who also declare to be LEGO lovers are sensing a sweet breeze of nostalgia with the LEGO NES set [16], our fellow Hazbeans are addicted to the madness as Hazbin Hotel is their Atlantis [17] [20] [27] [28].

If you do not want the feeling to end, just give in to your inner demons again [27] [28]. [17]

Dining On Another Slice Of Pony Life

It has been over a week since I briefly reviewed the cartoon based on My Little Pony we know today [56] [57]. Although I had some concerns about overall character development and pointed out some flaws of the backgrounds when the trailer came out on Hasbro’s YouTube channel [55], I remained fairly optimistic about the show’s outcome once I began to review it [56] [57]. Speaking of fairly optimistic, plenty of those beyond my blogs have approved of Pony Life’s redeeming qualities [6] [7], despite how some others are not afraid to point out what could have improved…or simply nitpick in a snarky and witty manner for fun [45] [46] [47]. While those who remember watching the first and second seasons of 12. Oz Mouse on Adult Swim in the second half of the 2000s are waiting to tune into its third season later this month [1] [2] [52], plenty of bronies and pegasisters are still settling down to witness the fast-paced slice of life elements of My Little Pony: Pony Life. As someone who partially rebuilt Ponyville and Canterlot in the mobile application based on Friendship Is Magic as a college student [8] [19], I shall take a sip of the right potion and further express my views on Pony Life.

The secondary logo of My Little Pony: Pony Life. [34]

Since it has been declared that Pinkie Pie is the prime protagonist of Pony Life, there is a theory that the show is simply Pinkie Pie’s point of view [10]. This theory would potentially make sense if the show is quick-paced with a ton of humourous moments and Pinkie has been known for her hyperactivity and wittiness ever since the first seasons of Friendship Is Magic [14]. Since she knows her friends very well, they are pretty much in character in the show. Even though there are signs of Pony Life being non-canon, such as Rarity being a magician and the emotional meaning of Applejack always wearing her hat being completely absent [16] [26], it would make sense for it to take place before the finale of Friendship Is Magic, but only in Pinkie Pie’s point of view. Whether any brony and pegasister would believe in the theory of Pony Life being set in the pink party pony’s point of view or not, there are more important things to be aware of, such as faithful portrayals of iconic characters and what valuable morals can be established for the target audience: very young girls, along with some very young boys.

[I think the inspiration for making Pinkie Pie the protagonist of Pony Life was inspired by the success of Hello Pinkie Pie, a 3D spin-off of Friendship Is Magic exclusively for Hasbro’s YouTube channel [22] [23]. [24]

Theories about Pony Life aside, I am beginning to wish that the design of Applejack’s hat would have at least been respectfully declared to be once worn by Bright Mac, her father instead of seen solely as a whole new trend by Rarity and the other ponies and then suddenly tossed away like an outdated one [16]. Nonetheless, the absence of the meaning of Applejack’s hat can be brushed off as a sign of Pony Life being non-canon. [23]

Let us look into more portrayal of some of the other main ponies. “Why is Twilight Sparkle suddenly competitive towards Rainbow Dash?” I asked myself [28]. As concerning it is to see the risk of competitiveness being taken to a potentially dangerous level [25], I can at least say Twilight’s determination after a moment she procrastinated could be another sign of none of the promotional images being misleading [34], which is far more in character than her competitiveness towards Rainbow Dash. At least Twily and Dashie seem to have learned not to get too carried away when it comes to a competition [27]. Applejack is still the fourth-wall breaker of Pony Life [28], which is at least refreshing to me, but possibly not some purists of the first three seasons of Friendship Is Magic [4] [17] [49]. As surreal, adorable and relatable it is for Fluttershy to shrink in size when she is embarrassed, the sound of a cash register that plays when dolphins appear in her eyes might be an expansion of her “dark side” [27]. Even though some new traits of iconic characters can seem confusing, I can at least see how they can at least try to keep the franchise fresh with a whole new interpretation.

I personally think Twilight’s competitive nature towards is quite out of character in this scene, similar to how Double D was rather out of character in a certain episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy [9]. Nonetheless, I suppose this leads to some depth of unexplored character development. [28]

When Fluttershy has dolphins in her eyes, let us hope she can still remain wise. [27]

Any more portrayal of Rarity and Rainbow Dash? I like how Rarity is seen wearing red lipstick in a black and white scene at some point [39]. Other than that, I can still see how vain she can be, just like her Friendship Is Magic counterpart [26]. I sincerely describe the pink lake to be “breath-taking” while she describes her reflection in it in the same way. What? I like pink water, quite like the water of a blossom bath ran by Princess Liana Rose [44] [58]. As for the speedy pegasus with a multicoloured mane, there is also a moment of her bunged up with a cold, even though she declared to be fine as another sign of her determination to remain as a confident speedster [25]. Nonetheless, it sure is cute when she falls asleep on a cloud after taking a spoonful of soup made by Pinkie Pie. There is another sign of some development in Rainbow Dash, which I will explain after I make a list of some familiar critters. Aside from their traits being spot on, I am more than happy that the main ponies are still willing to learn life lessons for the young children of today.

Darlings, Rarity looks fabulous during this moment! [38]

Another sign of Rainbow Dash being portrayed faithfully in Pony Life is when she prepares to confront "a strange being" and telling her friends to tell citizens her story if she does not succeed, despite Applejack telling her not to. [25]

It is interesting to see the ponies once again own pets in Pony Life [20], similar to how the Disney princesses began to own pets known as “Palace Pets” at some point in the mid-2010s [5] [51]. The pets that are seen competing in a kart race as a brief rehash of the song “Derby Racers” from Friendship Is Magic include [13]:

•        Angel, Fluttershy’s bunny [27]
•        Owlowisicious, Twilight Sparkle’s owl [27] [36]
•        Winona, Applejack’s doggy [27]
•        Opalescence, Rarity’s kitty [27] [35]
•        Gummy, Pinkie Pie’s alligator [27] [32]
•        Tank, Rainbow Dash’s turtle [27]

Strangely enough, Tank can communicate through a speaker attached to the bottom of his shell as he wears a fake beard next to a hologram of Pinkie Pie that partially reminds me of Twilight Sparkle’s future self from that episode of the second season of Friendship Is Magic [27] [50]. Nonetheless, I admire how he aims to teach Rainbow Dash that some problems can be solved with stillness and focus at a slow and steady pace. It sure is nice to witness a bigger variety of species in Ponyville aside from Discord, Spike and Bubbles as another sign of Pony Life potentially honouring the legacy of Friendship Is Magic, despite several notable differences between the two cartoons.

Giddy up, racing critters! Giddy up, racing critters! Giddy up, racing critters! Go, go, go [13]! [27]

Nice beard, Tank. And nice eye patch, Hologram of Pinkie Pie. [27]

I can still say that some of the supporting characters are well-portrayed in the show. Discord makes a grand return in Pony Life as one of those...potentially difficult customers who just will not answer Spike’s question [27]. I may be quite puzzled at how Princess Celestia’s tail does not flow majestically with her mane and how slightly unnerving it is to see her be more like a stern judge than a graceful ruler [24] [46], but I still would love to see her softer and more mother-like traits from Friendship Is Magic in another moment of Pony Life soon. Spike may have two different voice actresses for Pony Life [56] [57], similar to how Betina from Rayman: The Animated Series had three different voice actresses throughout that show’s short four-episode run [43], but I am aware that the little purple dragon’s traits are faithful to how he would usually be in Friendship Is Magic as he has provided two humourous moments of stubbing a toe after strutting whilst wearing sunglasses [27]. Yeah, our bronies and pegasisters know what he is like. For any unsatisfactory portrayals of supporting characters, we can always go back on how they were in Friendship Is Magic. 

Princess Celestia’s portrayal in Pony Life may be quite off-putting in Pony Life so far [24], but who knows? Perhaps Princess Luna will soon make an appearance in an episode of Pony Life and she can do the motherly honours for her older sister [37]? [24]

YEEEEAAAAAAH!! [27]

Are there any more new Pony Life exclusive characters? Well, there is a young male filly named “Smallfry” [40]. He sure is adorable and I guess it is nice to see that Rainbow Dash has another fan besides Scootaloo. Oh my Celestia! We finally get to see Potion Nova in Pony Life [28]! Her appearance and voice in the show are absolutely adorable, making her adaption from her toy in the Pony Life line worth it. It would make sense for making potions to be her game since “Potion Nova” is her name. Oh, and let us not forget about a gang of “alternative” ponies who meet Applejack with stern facial expressions and briefly remind me of the goth kids from South Park to a degree due to their dull colour schemes mane styles [30] [45] [48]. Who knows? Perhaps Cha Cha, the unicorn-horned llama might make an appearance in a possible second season before Generation 5 is established [29]. On the other hoof, it is probably best to not cram in so many new and familiar characters in one animated television series that is only meant to be based on filler between two generations of an iconic toy franchise.

[Potion Nova’s occupation must be very important in the Pony Life version of Equestria. It is no wonder Twily seemed so nervous and shattered into pieces. [27]]

As for the three “cool” ponies, do any of you think they are cool? If so, I guess that is cool. I am cool with that because tolerance is cool. [44]

I appreciate Pony Life’s signs of teaching young children of today important life lessons, along with its vibrant art style and exceptional humour. I can understand that the pace of the show might be a bit too swift for some of us [6] [7], but I am still fascinated with how it also consists of character designs that remind me of Generation 3.5 and the slice of life premise of My Little Pony Tales [15] [41]. Would any of you bronies and pegasisters describe My Little Pony: Pony Life as cute, sweet, magic, posh, fast and fun [33]? Could there be another season of Pony Life that consists of an episode featuring some aspects of the Equestria Girls franchise before the official establishment of Generation 5 [3] [18]? If not, there can be a second airing of the whole season that consists of fixed animation errors, similar to how some young characters wore bicycle helmets while riding their bikes in the edited version of the episode “Bicycles” from the first season of Peppa Pig [42]. While that might be quite unnecessary, I would still recommend Pony Life as proof of how Teen Titans GO should have been like a few years ago [53] [54]. Until then, everypony.

“Selfie!” [31]
