Plot
In Hell, Imps are the lowest of the low in society, but what happens when one starts an assassin business? This happens! Follow Blitzo (the 'o' is silent) as he attempts to run a start-up killing company in a very competitive market, along with his weapons specialist, Moxxie, his powerhouse, Millie, and his receptionist Hellhound, Loona. With the help of an ancient book obtained by one of the princes of Hell, Stolas, they manage to make their work possible and together they attempt to survive each other while trying to keep their business afloat.
Why You Should Call the I.M.P
- The characters are well-written and entertaining to watch.
- Blitzo, who is the owner of I.M.P, is very career-focused. He is deeply committed to the company's success and is willing to make significant personal sacrifices to ensure it.
- Moxxie is the easily annoyed, clumsy, but nice imp. He is the I.M.P.'s weapon specialist, so he knows his way around weapons and frequently brings a variety of them with him on missions. Due to the Season 2 Episode 3, Exes and Oohs, we may know why he has so much knowledge about weapons.
- Despite her occasional rudeness, Loona cares deeply about Blitzo and is nicer to him (which is saying a lot), which makes sense given that he is Loona's adoptive father.
- Millie, despite being the least developed one, can still be entertaining to watch at times, especially with her fight scenes.
- Stolas is a character who has improved from the pilot. He went from being horny 24/7 to a well-adjusted and grounded character, and Season 2 helped a lot with fixing this problem.
- The Murder Family is how you make a villainous family. Take notes, The Powerpuff Girls!
- Great episodes, including Exes and Oohs and The Circus.
- Exes and Oohs involves Moxxie meeting his abusive dad and mafia. On the way, he also meets Chaz, who is his ex (along with Millie's).
- In The Circus, we get to see more of Blitzo and Stolas' backstory and how they met. Oh yeah, and Fizzarolli is there, too.
- The character designs are nice/decent.
- The voice actors do an amazing job, like Brandon Rogers (who portrayed the characters in the Brandon Rogers Cinematic Universe and later voiced Katie Killjoy in Hazbin Hotel), Richard Horvitz (Zim from Invader Zim, and Billy from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy), Vivian Nixon, Erica Lindbeck, Alex Brightman (who later voiced Sir Pentious and Adam in Hazbin Hotel), and Bryce Pinkham.
- In the Latin Spanish dub they also do an incredible job, like Pedro Ruiz voicing Blitzo, Alan Fernando Velázquez voicing Moxxie (who also voiced the talking flowers in the Latin Spanish dub from Super Mario Bros. Wonder), Cassandra Valtier voicing Millie, Carmen Mazariegos voicing Loona (Who portrayed Millie in the unofficial FastyDubs dub), and Luis Leonardo Suárez voicing Stolas.
- Very funny quotes throughout the series.
- "Why hello, my big-dicked Blitzy..." - Stolas, Blitzo spits out his coffee after hearing this.
- Cultural references that are nice and aren't in your face.
- The plots are interesting and neat, for the most part.
- Similar to Hazbin Hotel, The animation from Toon City is great and beautiful.
Bad Qualities
- Millie is the least developed of all I.M.P. Without Moxxie, she doesn't have a character outside of that. Many fans pointed this out and wish for more centered episodes about her.
- Loona has little plot significance. She's also not sympathetic for abusing Blitzo, because her backstory does not correlate with her behavior.
- The show can seem too focused on Blitzo and Stolas sometimes, but Season 3 episode 2 fixed some of those problems.
- Mrs. Mayberry's backstory was a reference to the late actor and comedian Phil Hartman's death.
- While we did say some jokes were funny, there are some misses as well.
- Too many sexual/adult jokes, for example.
- Speaking of sexual jokes, Chaz makes a lot of sexual jokes about his dick, and his song is just annoying.
- Too much vulgarity.
- Too many sexual/adult jokes, for example.
- Season 2 is generally agreed to be weaker than season 1 due to its more indecisive writing, repeated use of the same jokes, and still a lack of worldbuilding.
- Unhappy Campers is considered one of the weakest episodes of Season 2, if not the whole series.
- C.H.E.R.U.B. was considered the weakest of season 1, due to it being unfunny and not as emotionally driven as previous episodes.
