User blog:EliNinja/Ceasar and Chuy Review



Man, do I love watching cartoons that barely anybody knows about anymore.

Ceasar and Chuy is an obscure 2007 animated series about 2 hispanic college students (skull shirt is Ceasar, Goatee dude is Chuy) who work at a TV station and watch music videos, and sometimes interview popular people (voiced by hired actors). That was what is was basically about. Now let's crack some shit into pieces.

Ceasar and Chuy wasn't much of a popular TV show of it's time as it aired on a channel that not that many people have (I have never in my life heard of a channel named LATV), but it did grow a bit of a good following on the internet (thanks to episodes of the series surfacing on the internet). It may have limited animation and it doesn't have the best voice-acting, but it is still a good show (to me at least).

I first heard of this series on Wednesday when I was searching for some animated pilots to watch on YouTube and found the pilot episode of the series (it was called "In Control" in the pilot). When I first watched a bit of the final result of what In Control became, I didn't like it that much. But when I watched the full episode, I actually ended up liking it somehow (ain't that some shit).

The character designs for Ceasar and Chuy reminded me of some of the stuff you would see on mid-2000s Cartoon Network (kind of, but not completely). I also like some of the other characters like Ceasar and Chuy's black friend, Jerome (from an episode where they have to help him pay a rent or wutevs).

Appearantly, there was a 2-episode reboot of the series in 2013 (with the original voices of C&C), but I don't really like it from what I've seen so far (it doesn't have much of the original series' humor and the art style looks too much like Family Guy, so I'll just stick with the original for now).

I really hope that someday, the complete series gets released on DVD or Digital Video. I really want to see more of this series.

I'll give this series a 7.5/10 for now. It's animation may not be all that professional, but it's still kinda funny. If you want proof that this cartoon actually exists, go to the show's YouTube page and give it a watch. And if you want to see the original pilot first (where this white dude named Wilfred is Ceasar's friend instead of Chuy), go here. Eli out.
