Plot
The series is about Vambre and Prohyas, a cute and clumsy sibling team of "Warriors for Hire", who go on hilarious adventures and crazy quests around the world to find and collect magical swords known as "Magiswords".
Why It's Mighty
- Awesome theme song.
- Vambre and Prohyas are a very likable pair of siblings that work off each other well.
- Great voice acting, with several voice talents such as Grey Griffin, Eric Bauza, Phil LaMarr, Jim Cummings, Candi Milo, etc.
- Vambre Warrior and Grup the Dragon are so cute.
- Decent character designs that are easy on the eyes.
- The swords that Vambre and Prohyas summon are varied, cool, and very creative.
- The show gets a whole lot better by the second half of season 1, as it has character development, slower pacing (there are actually pauses in between sentences), and even a story arc.
- The show has its own app called MagiMobile, which allows use to collect swords while watching the show. How cool is that?
- Some cutest heartwarming moments, such as Vambre singing "Hey There, Little Warrior".
- Pays homage to pop culture.
Bad Qualities
- The Flash animation while decent, can be mediocre and error-prone.
- In the first half of season 1, the series was too fast-paced and not very funny, which alienated a lot of viewers.
- There is some toilet humour present in the series.
- The creator, Kyle A. Carrozza can't take criticism at all, whether it's good or bad.
- Some scenes can mildly be disturbing, such as realistic looking close ups and on screen deaths.
- "Let's Team Up Because We Aren't Bad Friends" was a very lackluster series finale.
