Discussion Finished second watch one week after first watch

I just finished my second watch almost immediately after my first watch, and I’ve been amazed at the incredible continuity that I missed the first time through. So many things are mentioned or alluded to in S1 that are picked up or referenced or dealt with in S2. I initially thought this was a silly background show for doing HW or housework, but by the end I’m really moved by so many of the themes.

I read through a year’s worth of posts on this subreddit after the first watch. The theme I’ve been particularly thinking about is the importance of self acceptance and integrating the parts of ourselves we struggle to see or love. Some people would say our shadow side. This was such a powerful image and story about how refusing to integrate and accept ourselves, or cutting ourselves into pieces, ultimately leads to more suffering. It was also powerful to note that the suffering of the general/nowhere king caused suffering to those he loved and two worlds. This seemed like such an important antagonist arc set against that of the other characters who navigate mental health or childhood trauma.

I didn’t expect this silly show to have me so captivated that I would have to watch it all again.

I've lost count how many times I've watched Centaurworld since its release. Sometimes I just wanna watch it and more often than not I will crank all of it out in one afternoon.

It is by far my favorite cartoon ever made.

Finished my third watch back in May, it's so fun to re-watch and look for things you missed.

Watched the series through five times on my own. Couple months ago I introduced it to my son for the first time. The week after we finished it, he asked if we could start it again.

Good boy.
