I'm not sure what to think of TF Animated..

I watched the first ep on Youtube tonight.

Hmmm....


I like the Toys, and the Art Style.

The fight scenes seem pretty cool, but the way they portray the Formers as almost human, moving a large screen tv....

I'm really not sure what I think of it, I want to like it.

Anyone actually a fan? Is it any good from your perspective?

Season 1 is a bit slow, gets better towards the end. Season 2 is better and season 3 is better still.

Like Tober said. Plenty of G1 nostalgia catchphrases and stuff shown here and there like easter eggs on some scenes are scattered in various episodes. Season one was more of a hit and miss, prolly Hasbro still feeling and figuring out what direction they wanted the animation to go to. Also I read somewhere that Animated is a filler line (as was Classic) should the Movie franchise bomb out they tried to thread slowly to feel the market/fans response to it I figure. Then that blasted movie somehow got blockbuster hits which got the Animated (which a better IMO) line cancelled altogether so they can concentrate on marketing the fuglyformers of that line. To this day everyone is still waiting if Hasbro will break their tradition of NOT ISSUING a G1 esque Arcee that is in the show. As far as the episodes go. I'tll definitely get better as the season progresses....

Yes there are a lot of people who are "actually fans".

There are reviews of nearly every episode of Animated in the reviews area.

I dont mean it in an offensive way.

I just saw Bumblebee playing video games, and it kind of threw me off.

I am. LOVE it.

Animated is like candies.

Bumblebee playing video games later becomes a comedic plot device during a Season 3 episode.

If you don't know what to think, then try thinking it's one of the best Transformers shows ever, only rivalled by Beast Wars, Beast Machines and Masterforce. You'll then be thinking along the right lines.

Keep watching, you'll love it
The three things you mentioned you liked are the most common gripes people have with animated.

The human-ness element (and the more involved role of human characters) may take a while to get used to but keep in mind its a cartoon for little kids and all in good fun

i thought it was great

The first season for me is the worse and very off putting. Its got a couple of shining episodes but they get drowned by a lot of crap which can be a strugle to watch. However as has been said already, the series significantly improves during Season 2 which still has is fair share of crappy episodes but these are balanced better by good above average episodes and Season 3 is generally good overall but short.

There are still Animated 'eccentricities' that one has to tolerate if you are not into that sort of thing but it becomes much easier to get used to them as the series improves.

In my opinion Animated is a very 'bipolar' series in the sense that it has some of the best episodes we have seen since Beast Wars that really stand out on their own but at the same time it has some of the worse we have ever seen, particularly in Season 1 with many episodes being 'Sari and her robot friends' with the key fixing everything and high emphasis on lame human villains.
