In my opinion, I'm not too happy with it. The animation was just horrible. The backgrounds were at times nice, but the characters hardly had any detail to them and looked like they were drawn up at the last minute. I'm reminded of one episode where the characters find Cera relaxing in a mudbath. There's a closeup of Ducky that looks like she was drawn by a six year old with crayons. Also what is with the characters' cheeks? Why do they look like they had plastic surgery?
I can see why people like Ruby but I just don't. The way she talks is annoying and it just makes her look unintelligent. Why not just give Ruby her own personality instead of making her the girl version of Petrie? Also, backstory please? Some explanation of how she and Chomper met would be nice. Otherwise, she's just going to remain a plot device in my eyes.
Red Claw is no better off. We know nothing about him, why he's terrorizing the Mysterious Beyond, what Ruby and Chomper's connection is to him and why the Gang are apparently the only ones who can defeat him. Seriously? Wouldn't it make more sense to just get the adults in the Valley to help stop him? I'd like to think that they would stand a better chance against Red Claw as oppose to seven little kids fighting him. Oh yeah, and what we have seen of ol' Red Claw just makes him look pathetic. Need I bring up his being scared by echoes again?
I like Ptyra's idea of having Pterano come back. Heck, he could actually help the gang fight Red Claw if they ever get to that. It would be an intresting way for Pterano to redeem himself.
If we ever get a season 2, I suggest that they focus on who Red Claw is and why he's terrorizing the Mysterious Beyond. Explain how Ruby met Chomper and explain what happened to Chomper's parents(do we even see them in the series? I don't remember). Also, please drop the songs. Save them for the movies. There's just no room for them in a 22 minute episode.
