>>103157356It's been awhile since I saw the original TLA, but I'd say it's about on par with that writing-wise. Both for good and ill. People have complained about it being too jokey when it should've been serious, but I've found it very rarely stuck out to me. And some of the jokes I felt were pretty good. The one that comes to mind involved a pun, someone else messing up another pun and laughing at it, then a final punchline about the second person's shitty pun. Since having to explain a joke, especially one layered like this, never works, someone else who's finished the current crop of episodes can mention what they thought about that joke. It's one that felt pretty well written to me. There's other amusing gags jokes, but they're pretty typical.
I think in comparison, the writing has set up and hinted at more stuff than TLA did by now, but hasn't had an episode on the level of The Storm yet. Nothing as bad as The Great Divide or other terrible TLA season 1 episodes either, though.
Artwise, the backgrounds are 2D and often look gorgeous, and the CGI models don't look too bad. But the framerate is really bad. It stopped sticking out about 3-4 episodes in, but if you pay attention, it's always a problem. Supposedly it was to deal with typical 3D animation floatiness, but they went too far. Some action scenes still look pretty good, though. The general rule is fast actions seem fine, anything close in and slow looks pretty terrible. Aesthetics can be a bit generic western fantasy, but they're also not really bad.
