AND THERE WE HAVE IT!

Episode 1 complete. Damn,that was a pretty good set up.

We know that his boss hates Zim (and somehow fear him?). Zim has a lovable but annoying and hyper robot Gir who doubles as a dog. He is pretending to be a human child to get information at skool where he meets his arch nemasis: Dib the Anime Matrix Boy.

There is so much lowkey absurd humor to this. The constant insults, the sense of dread and drama in everything. The exaggerated faces and voice acting, but then we get some nice small expressions like Zim’s smile. Man, this pilot went all out to tell us what exactly Invader Zim is about!

On my Fibonacci Scale of 1 to 21: This show is an obvious 21. It has all the dark, zany, absurdist humor that I loved as a child and loved even now. How I didn’t watch this show I will never know. But I do know it is something I WILL continue to watch.
