Hi Centaurworld fans! My previous compilation video got forcibly auto-marked 'made for k1ds' and the appeal is rejected. I'm not currently/interested to becoming a YT partner so I'm not getting any ad revenue anyway, however it's annoying to lose comments just because of 'the algorithm', so I decided to reupload with a minimal description and take this opportunity to do version 2 with a few additions from the previous video's comments: (thanks!) * More merman magazines * Rider "Why didn't you guys just let me do the war crimes?" * Comfortable Doug's nipple flight * The Nowhere King turning his head
[The whole Waletaur Shaman/Taurnado deal] YT: You know... F0R K1DZ! I mean... Yeah, but actually no? (The show is rated TV-Y7, meaning it's 6+, basically because the more hardcore stuff is few and far between... But this video specifically focuses on the parts that are intense and condensing it in a very non-TV-Y7 way. Congrats TH-cam.)
I just wanna say. I giant sentient tornado that sings to you in a thousand voices, telling you to join them, is legitimately a fantastic monster concept
I know right! And once you get off the ground you've given up and join the chorus of thousands of souls that live up in the skies. Could be awesome metal as fuck
Taurnado's song gave me more chills than the NK lullaby. Outright. I'm not sure why, I guess the lullaby really does sound calming to me, but something about Taurnado really stuck with me
Yes, it is honestly the most frightening scene I've ever seen in animation. And I watched CTCD and Infinity Train. I think it's more of the song that creeps me out. Plus I kinda have a fear of tornadoes.
A lot of people at my school judge me because they think it’s a young kid’s show and I’m over here like “want me to explain the Nowhere King’s backstory?” *laughs in General attempting drowning Elk scene.
So, no one’s going to reference that Glendale’s burp at the end of “I don’t have a dad or mother, well maybe I did before” implies that she ATE her parents?
I think its implied that she shoved them inside her portal and theyre so far gone inside that theres no hope of escape, but anytime glendale puts anything in her portal tummy its implied that this is analogous to her eating it. So. Yeah!
its canon from a QnA with Megan Dong, the creator that she in fact, *did* tummyvore her folks. so uh edit: i misremembered, it isnt the creator herself, but it *was* another person who worked on the show! my bad
I have to say, I love how one of the main characters is a kleptomaniac. That's not something you often see in a kids show. And the fact that they KNOW the mini versions have an existential crisis upon being created, they all run off to who knows where terrified, yet they KEEP DOING IT is kinda messed up. I love it.
@@Thehouseoffail yeah, for like the final battle. And it was mostly a joke in the first season, where it doesn't feel like there was GOING to be an awnser.
I guess. Honestly, the content of the show gets really dark. It doesn't feel like a kids show most of the time. But when it does feel like a kids show, it REALLY feels like a kids show.
I remember hearing a quote that went along like "children already know the world is scary and full of things that will hurt them. What they need to learn isn't that these things aren't real, but that they have the power to fight back and triumph". It's not about all these dark, horrible things, but about how good can win the day and people can get better. Kids need hope for the future more than anything, and I think these stories work better for that than stories that avoid dark concepts to shield kids from reality.
And a lot of the time, even when most people had tried to avoid adding dark elements to kids media, they usually do it very badly or their media still has things in it that would be considered dark later on anyways (like the Smooze from the old '80s My Little Pony cartoon series), so it's better anyways to write a good story with dark elements vs trying to write without the dark elements and getting a poorly written story in the process. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@Scarshadow666 I don't know if the 80s movies of MLP is a good marker for that. Escape from Castle Midnight had some DARK ass shit in there and I'm glad we did otherwise we may have never gotten Gen 4 MLP at least the version we got.
Fairytales do not tell children dragons exist. Children already know the dragons exist. Fairytales tell children the dragons can be killed. G.K. Chesterton
It's a parody of bad kid shows. It has annoying cast, fart jokes, unesscessary songs, eyes-bleeding colour, stupid characters...all to be the smoke screen for the horror of war and tragedy. They also parody good kid shows with "The princess and The Prince get married and live happily ever after", "The hero in shinning armour that protect you from the terrifying goop monster.", "Wammawink started her journey to become a powerful shaman and is the reliable advisor of the gang", or "Horse went on a magical adventure to overcome challanges and collect the artefact that can save the world, it's not like she had lost hope and tried to commit suicide or anything."
- suicide references - suggestive themes - death - war - horror - slight gore - deer being drowned - violence - basically nudity - people suggesting murdering people - ect. HOW THE ACTUAL HELL IS THIS CONSIDERED A KIDS SHOW?!
It was so drawn out too, it made me feel really uncomfortable, which was a good thing. The juxtaposition between the colorful, bright, musical and the horrifying, violent, villain is what makes the show so good. I hope I get to one day see the look of horror on a mother's face when she watches Centaurworld with her kid and she sees all this disturbing stuff.
@@jacobcox4565 lol its cruel but I kinda do want to see how the moms face would look. Like even with a 10 year old moms are so protective with shows now
Ride the whaletaur shaman is an incredible episode. From horses heartbreaking attempted suicide to the characters of sunfish merguy and the whaletaur shaman to the comedy of the merman magazines, just fantastic.
I agree. Got to be one of the best episodes from season 1. It still brings tears to my eyes Everything about it is a work of art And the moment where Horse jumps into the Whaletaur Shaman right in front of everyone still chills me to the bone
Yeah I really wasn't expecting such a poignant depression/suicide metaphor from this show. Definitely the darkest episode IMO, almost too much for a kid's show. What really got me was the Sunfish discussing how he provides all sorts of fun activities for the people seeking the whale shaman, but like IRL depression, those activities are just joyless distractions to them, and they end up picking the whale every time. Jesus Christ Centaurworld...
Honestly it's a bit weird how many vizziepop fans I've found in the comment sections of Centaurworld videos. I think you're the 4th person I've found with a vizziepop pfp (first was an Alastor pfp, then a Stolas pfpf, then a Moxxie, and then yours)
@@drownedtrashrat3501 It makes a lot of sense, honestly. Both shows use a light tone to deal with very serious themes. The animation style and the content type aren't generally done together, so fans of one show will probably enjoy the other.
@@Goomsies that and coincidence My little sister was a fan of Centaurworld so I thought why not? And before that, I also clicked on a Helluva Boss reaction thinking it was a Hazbin Hotel reaction for some reason, so…there’s that Also they’re both musicals
The Whaletaur episode was literally a "fuck you" to the people who thought it was just kiddy kid shit... LIKE, MY DUDE, MY JAW DROPPED LIKE OHHHHH MY GOD OH MY GOD-
Yeah as she was singing, I just started thinking to myself, 'wait wtf they're referencing suicide, wait how are they doing this, they're not actually going to do it right, what the heck they're actually doing this, how is this a kids show with a blatant reference to suicide????'
I'm so so sooooo glad they killed off the Nowhere King, I feel like any other series would've just befriended him then be like "even though you've killed hundreds of thousands including mutating a literal army of creatures (to which we know that some of them retain memories) now that we're friends, its alll okay now" Also something I just caught, the princess was looking down into his eyes a for a few moments since he was looking up at her, then her gaze oh so barely moved upwards and away so she could actually go through with the kill. Beautiful.
@@rawcookiedough7518 As someone who has really shitty parents, I'm glad they DIDN'T. More forms of media need to talk about how your parents AREN'T always the good guys in your story. Really felt that one.
Horse legitimately tries to off herself TWICE. Nearly three times if you count her wanting to be left in the hole in season two. WOW that would be traumatic for me if I was a child- but instead I’m an adult and it’s just,,, painfully relatable at times-
Would you really have the maturity to understand as a kid that when horse jumped into the whaletaur it was implying suicide? There's already a lot of adult jokes in kid shows these days that kids just miss all the time.
@@rawcookiedough7518 Self-sacrifice is still suicide. While she does end up coming back, it wasn’t necessarily her actual plan. When she gets there, her song anout herself is in the past tense. It seems her plan was to freeze NWK and the army, and then they’d kill the NWK while he was frozen. Killing her with it.
@@syabilaazri7834 i've googled this and i don't see anything about lauren faust having worked on centaur world. your comment is really confusing, there is only 2 seasons of centaur world, and if you referring to mlp season 4 lauren faust stopped working on mlp after season 2.
@@syabilaazri7834 I was confused when you said that, because when I looked up who the creator and writer for Centaurworld was, I found it was Megan Nicole Dong. Who, from what I can find, had nothing to do with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The closest I found was that Meghan McCarthy is story editor. Which, even then, Meghan was only one of the main writers of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, not the creator. Who was Lauren Faust. I would suggest being more careful with your information.
@giosie giovanna yeah I was gennualy surprised they showed multible times equestria embroiled in war or total anialation. Of course being a kids show they don't really focus on that to much but still I would love it if these alternative worlds/ futures got explained more.
I talked about it in class and recently someone at my school asked why I watch a show meant for a little kids... I don’t think so... Also love how much of this is Nowhere King-related violence and horror. It’s my favorite part of the show
Just say something like "the idea of not allowing yourself to enjoy something for fear of looking childish, is childish in-it-of-itself." Maybe in a less word-sy way though, like why would you not let yourself enjoy something so you appear more "adult"? That's something that kids do Why did I feel the need to use up multiple minutes of my life to think of and write out a reply to this
According to the show's creator, the reason the tiny versions immediately have an existential crisis every time is because they have all the memories of the original right up to the moment of their creation, so from their perspective they tried to create a tiny version and became one instead. There's an entire horror game (SOMA) made on pretty much this exact premise.
This show is all over the place when it comes to tone. One moment it feels very childish and something I can see younger kids really enjoying. And the next moment it pulls out some of the darkest shit I’ve seen in a kids show. Like anything to do with the nowhere king would have terrified me as a kid.
That's one of the things about it that makes it appeal to me I enjoy media that is deep, mature, and emotional, but I also specially enjoy goofy children's shows. A little too much of either and I'm tired of it. Centaurworld has that variety in tone that keeps me invested
I loved that part of the show because it felt like it was meant to be jarring. The back and forth between silly goofy and traumatizingly serious felt like the perfect way to showcase the difference between the human world and centaur world and how you're supposed to "respect the balance from both sides" centaurs can't always be silly and niave, just like humans can't always be serious and depressed.
If I had a nickel for everytime the best friend of the main character got literally backstabbed by her authority figure turned twist villian, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
One of my favorite characters by far is Becky Apples. I love how she is so starkly contrasted with Horse, in that Horse cares about Rider more than just about anything and is a true warrior at heart, fearless in the face of the enemy and kind to her friends. Becky meanwhile is aloof, and doesn't care about Rider all that much unless it pertains to helping her accomplish the one thing Becky does better than almost anyone else in this show, and that's butchering minotaurs en masse. Because while Horse is a warrior, Becky is a killer. Who is also deeply addicted to apples.
Okay so there is - toned down violence - family dying - war - death -kidnapping -basically suicide references -murder -Glendale -slight horror -Trauma Plus many more. Jeez-
Same. Needed something to pass the time, the scene they showed as a preview on netflix was the scene with child wammawink. I was like "wtf, you can't just leave me on that??" and clicked. Never looked back.
I honestly didnt watch it at first because of the artstyle plus it saying it was for 7yr+ because I thought "oh ok its just for young kiddos" but GOD, I watched it recently and it was absolutely amazing.
People keep saying that if they saw this show as a child, they’d be traumatized. I disagree. I think this show is probably one of the best out there right now. It has a very compelling story with an amazing meaning for kids to learn. The music is amazing. It’s bright and colourful. And also honestly it tackles a lot of issues we don’t normally see in kids shows. Instead of hiding the darker side of the world from kids can cause them to grow up without the knowledge these things exist. The suicide representation is a great example of how amazing the show portrays it for kids. They explain it simply enough and without actually saying it’s suicide but imply it. Then at the end when horse is rescued, they go through the explanation that you shouldn’t give up and pain is normal. It’s beautIful. And it doesn’t glorify suicide but merely explains it. So then the kid might ask their parent questions and then it can be explained. Most villains in kids shows are never punished really for what they’ve done. Villains who aren’t punished could teach kids that their negative actions don’t have consequences or that you should forgive every single person no matter what they’ve done to you (which is not healthy). But this show instead says no and gives the Nowhere King the punishment he deserved. People have got to understands kids are more mature then we give them credit. I think the Y7 rating is perfect for this show and doesn’t need to go higher or lower whatsoever
I agree another thing alot of kids shows do is have the villian be locked away forever or, if they are actually killed off it's usually framed as an accident(which is also a bad choice in my opinion, considering how many villians in kids shows just happen to fall off cliffs). I think that centaur world handled this perfectly, with the villian being directly killed off by another character.
Kids have and will always be shown ratings that are intended for adults and be completely fine ‘cause it sails over their heads but… …this is no kid’s show. This is something that got Y-7 slapped onto it simply because it didn’t have any blatant cursing (despite “what the FLANK” but. Y’know.) which is a darn shame. Shame as in a lot of women’s works get infantilized regardless of content, and it is depressingly common for it to happen to WoC The rating *should* be higher by content and the intended themes. The fact that it’s not smells pretty rotten in the state of denmark.
@@anonymousfellow8879 I agree with you. Some female creators of shows have their work infantilized. But I also think shows like this that deals with darker but important elements in a way that is kid friendly is also important to show kids. They learn of these darker things later on anyways. And sometimes it isn’t in good circumstances. This show allows you to prepare your kids in a healthy way. And obviously I mean kids seven and up. Those kids are able to understand specific issues really well. We’ve gotten used to shows talking down to children and shielding them from darker real life issues. Of course if a child doesn’t like it or thinks it’s scary, they obviously can stop watching. But if my kid ever says they want to watch it, I won’t stop them. A movie that can be considered scary for some kids but we’ll loved by others is Coraline. Yes it has a pg rating but I had friends who were genuinely completely terrified and traumatized by that movie. However, I loved it when I was a child. Every kids is different and will want to watch different things.
No bro people are not saying they'd be scarred if they watched this as kids because of the messages behind the show. No kid is going to get scarred from the whaletaur song or from Horse jumping into her mouth. This isn't about "suicide representation" or how mature 7 year olds are. That's not what people are referring to. People are saying they'd be scarred and traumatized if they watched this as kids because we literally just watched a deer get *his skin melted off* into black goo and contort his body into a plague monster of death. We watched a colourful bird person get turned into a disturbing crocodile hybrid abomination. We watched the main villain unhinge it's jaw and eat a character on screen, as the victim's body struggled to hold on to life while being digested inside the abyss. This show lures you in with a colourful and bubbly outside, and then hits you with a visceral scene of a man trying to drown a fucking deer and only stopping because he started spouting water from all the orifices in his face and almost drowning himself. This isn't about if kids can understand "the message" or not. People are saying they'd be scarred if they watched this as kids because THIS SHOW IS FUCKING DISTURBING.
7:15 if I had a nickel for each time a character in a children’s animated show got stabbed in the chest, I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but how tf did it happen twice.
This is adult swim level content, I have never seen a single thing about this show that has made me think this show was even remotely marketed toward children
@@arandomperson12345 it's a show with a lot of dichotomy. It thrives off of it. It's supposed to be childish most of the time so the serious moments hit harder. But some people have a hard time getting past things like that.
@@nerdatello I mean, I agree. But I think that, in this case, they're specifically going for that juxtaposition of extreme childishness and extreme dark humor. It might not work quite as well if you tone down all the immature jokes. Then again, maybe someone could write it all perfectly without those jokes. Idk, I ain't a wordman.
This makes me cry every time I see it. You KNOW she still loved him even after all those years but had to kill him for the Nowhere King and the General to die. Both worlds were messed up because of the Elktaur's selfish actions. I mean seriously, she SAID she would have loved him just as he was. And before he separated himself into these two entities, he was a sincere, nice, rather handsome Elktaur and the Princess/Woman liked him...but by this point so much bad had happened in both worlds, I think to Woman it felt like instead of killing her husband she was putting a pet to sleep...and the complexity of all of this still makes me sob like a baby
I watched this whole series with my little brother and when 6:30 happened we both stared at each other in absolute horror. I personally have never seen such a graphic drowning attempt in ANY cartoon before... Let alone one with such a rating!
At the beginning the warning would really be: *“Dark humor, horror, death, war, trauma, pain, suicide attempts, fear, sacrifices, emotional scenes and… ‘normal’ mermen”* XD
6:50 this scene literally made me lowkey terrified and i know kids in the future are gonna be like “so did this traumatize you as a kid or was it just me?”
@@idontneedaname318 they literally destroyed *multiple* planets that had locals and life just to expand their empire. MULTIPLE. We don’t even know how many either. Seeing as how long they’ve lived the number could be waaaaaay up there. It would be different if the characters didn’t reproduce asexually and actually fell in love and had families. Then they could have a tiny bit more slack since you can’t really control if your people start having a ton of kids. They should have at least punished White Diamond of all gems. She was the most abusive, manipulative, and purely evil one of them all.
@@_____________a_a I wonder if SU was given more seasons or time if they would have gone that route, so they rushed a “happy” ending. But I agree it was a big letdown because tbh not all bad guys in tv need redemption.
@@cherie..cherry from what I’ve heard they ended up getting cut off because of Garnet’s wedding. There’s a video called something along the lines of “Analyzing the Most Interesting Scene in Steven Universe” which goes into a lot of detail about the Diamonds designs and what happened to the finale.
in germany its for kids at the age of 6. i let my 9/10 old siblings watch it But only when i am around so i can teach them about everything they want to know so its less sad and scary for them. but lets be real here, this series i was we needed at the time and its so great
honestly glad centaurworld is keeping up the tried and true tradition of traumatizing children! I mean that honestly I think it's good for kids to be exposed to content that challenges and even spooks them a little in a safe way. I certainly loved the Goosebumps series and Twilight Zone as a child, even though I know have a lifelong fear of dolls.
Makes me think it was maybe a sort of a Coraline-esque situation. Like how Neil Gaiman tested out his new book Coraline on his editor's young kids to see if it was okay for them and it turns out after he got the OK from them, years later, he finds out the kids were terrified but they needed to see how the story ended lmao. Or younger kids now are less spooked by stuff like this, couldn't tell ya lol
I was a part of the MLP fandom, that show had dark moments throughout the 8 season run, but Becky Apples alone brings the fear and dark humour of god into your soul. Water Baby and Glendale will always be my favorites though
After everything the Nowhere King's been through, at least the Elk side, I don't blame him. But I do hold both sides accountable especially the human side
It’s such a gamble recommending this show to people, because I either realize the person will find it too silly or too dark for them halfway through explaining it to them
You forgot to mention the several times glendale's portal is called a "pregnancy hole" and that she has a cult dedicated to her, and that she steals children and people several times. xD
The Elk's ending was perfect. That's how you make a sympathetic villain without forcing a toxic "forgive everyone" message. He hurt too many people and killed countless and just because he's sorry doesn't make that go away. I'm so happy a lot of kids shows aren't falling into the same traps as SU.
There's a lot about centaurworld that could be considered not exactly kid friendly, but I don't think the whaletaur episode is one of them. It's obviously supposed to be an allegory for suicide/depression, but children can handle heavy subjects and the show did it in an age appropriate way. Unfortunately a lot of young kids have depression or have had suicidal thoughts, so the message of seeking help in times of hopeless/worthlessness is a good one imo
@@cryptid_girl2355 I struggled with depression at that age and I honestly think I might have done better if I had been informed through age appropriate shows about how to seek help instead of stumbling across different, and many times untrustworthy, sources online or from media that was inappropriate for my age. So it makes me happy to see how many new shows are covering mental health. Also, I hope you are doing well mentally!
So true. I have spoken to people 11-14 years old who had sucidal thoughts. Even as a small child I was aware of suicide Kids now more than ever need to be educated about suicide and mental health because so many of them are already thinking about it and they need guidance. The Whaletaur episode is beautiful
I'd actually argue that Centaurworld really IS for kids, in the same way that old animated films like Secret of NIMH are still very much for kids, even though they are really dark. Kids can handle some dark shit as long as you actually allow them to engage with the topics and themes presented in the media they watch, and not shield them, or tell them that it's bad.
I see it as very Don Bluth inspired, it just took inspiration from ALL of Bluth's work. Lol (Don Bluth had some silly, fart joke laden movies, in addition to his dark ones. Lol)
How is this a kids show?! The creepy version of the Nowhere King lullaby, the Nowhere King himself, to the Nowhere King’s past; surely that will leave any kid traumatized. Along with weird scenes and some adult humor.
I mean, the Nowhere King stuff isn't that bad, since it's the baddie. I'm more concerned about the emotional distress shown regularly by the main cast and *cough* you know... that whole whaletaur shaman thing.
6:38 is my absolute favorite, the nwk is such a cool character and I love his backstory (I'm genuinely not simping over the villain this time, I just think he's well written lol)
I appreciate that my first and creepiest scene on this show made it into this compilation XD also the flat Dallas nipple helicopters will forever be the crowning glory of my demo reel lol
in germany its for kids at the age of 6. i let my 9/10 old siblings watch it But only when i am around so i can teach them about everything they want to know so its less sad and scary for them
The Nowhere King is so fricking terrifying that I'm astonished people would consider this whole series to be "for kids" and no one else. Lol. That guy would've given me _so_ many nightmares as a kid.
Centaurworld: The whole human world, the Herd's emotional disturbances, Taurnado, the Whaletaur Shaman, the relationship between the General and the Nowhere King, etc... Whoever the fuck was responsible for the PG rating: 6+, but please put on a warning. I'm not sure if that was the plan or not, but I can't believe for one second that Nicole Dong expected that to be an elementary school-level show.
I’m glad that this generation of kids gets to have some wholesome, quality cartoon trauma. Genuinely. When I was little I had a much better understanding of death and horror and war than adults thought, and getting to explore those things within the tidy structure of a cartoon with comedic emotional aftercare made the world a lot less confusing. Think of the land before time series! That was good shit.
"It's just a bad dream.. When I wake up, they'll all be back.." God dammit man that made me tear up oh my god, that hit harder after not watching it for a while. Edit: _GAGS FROM THE BONE CRACKLING NOISE._
Hush now, hide, all you little ones Rush now, into the middle of nowhere Singing and laughter will die Dreamless sleep, follows the Nowhere King When his kingdom comes, darkness is nigh Quiet, crawl to the in-between Silent, secretive feeling Of fearsome hatred that reaches the skies You will bring joy to the Nowhere King When he sees the light leaving your eyes :)
The Nowhere King is one of the most unnerving and juat genuinely scary villians I've seen in a "kids cartoon" (if you could even call centaur world that.) His design and back story and lullaby just pair together so perfectly to make a really eerie and terrifying villian who only wants suffering.

It was chilling, awe-inspiring, thought provoking
Truly incredible
Taurnado's song gave me more chills than the NK lullaby. Outright. I'm not sure why, I guess the lullaby really does sound calming to me, but something about Taurnado really stuck with me
Yes, it is honestly the most frightening scene I've ever seen in animation. And I watched CTCD and Infinity Train. I think it's more of the song that creeps me out. Plus I kinda have a fear of tornadoes.

I think its implied that she shoved them inside her portal and theyre so far gone inside that theres no hope of escape, but anytime glendale puts anything in her portal tummy its implied that this is analogous to her eating it. So. Yeah!

I guess. Honestly, the content of the show gets really dark. It doesn't feel like a kids show most of the time. But when it does feel like a kids show, it REALLY feels like a kids show.
@@ngyikp Read this in his voice
No *red* blood, there is most certainly a *lot* of black Minotaur blood, who are still essentially people. Sooo, yeah.
I remember hearing a quote that went along like "children already know the world is scary and full of things that will hurt them. What they need to learn isn't that these things aren't real, but that they have the power to fight back and triumph". It's not about all these dark, horrible things, but about how good can win the day and people can get better. Kids need hope for the future more than anything, and I think these stories work better for that than stories that avoid dark concepts to shield kids from reality.
Love you for this comment. A kid could learn a lot from a show like centaurworld
And a lot of the time, even when most people had tried to avoid adding dark elements to kids media, they usually do it very badly or their media still has things in it that would be considered dark later on anyways (like the Smooze from the old '80s My Little Pony cartoon series), so it's better anyways to write a good story with dark elements vs trying to write without the dark elements and getting a poorly written story in the process. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@Scarshadow666 I don't know if the 80s movies of MLP is a good marker for that. Escape from Castle Midnight had some DARK ass shit in there and I'm glad we did otherwise we may have never gotten Gen 4 MLP at least the version we got.
Fairytales do not tell children dragons exist. Children already know the dragons exist. Fairytales tell children the dragons can be killed.

@@devinnielsen6967 thanks, I've been passively looking for that for the past year or so.
I've come to realize that. Centaurworld isn't a kids show... It has Kids aesthetics. but really it's just a cartoon in it's Purest rawest form
That's very astute.
Hmmm I wouldn't say kids can't watch it though.
It's a parody of bad kid shows. It has annoying cast, fart jokes, unesscessary songs, eyes-bleeding colour, stupid characters...all to be the smoke screen for the horror of war and tragedy. They also parody good kid shows with "The princess and The Prince get married and live happily ever after", "The hero in shinning armour that protect you from the terrifying goop monster.", "Wammawink started her journey to become a powerful shaman and is the reliable advisor of the gang", or "Horse went on a magical adventure to overcome challanges and collect the artefact that can save the world, it's not like she had lost hope and tried to commit suicide or anything."
THIS
Well said. Thank you for recognizing this.
- suicide references
- suggestive themes
- death
- war
- horror
- slight gore
- deer being drowned

HOW THE ACTUAL HELL IS THIS CONSIDERED A KIDS SHOW?!
bcus fun, brightly colored, musical animation = for kids, in Netflix's eyes 🙄
It doesn't have sex.
Because the blood isn't red!
Nippplessss
Haha bright colors go beeeeeerrrrrr
6:35 The most horrifying moment in that scene was about 2 seconds later, as the water starts pouring out of *his* mouth too.
It was so drawn out too, it made me feel really uncomfortable, which was a good thing. The juxtaposition between the colorful, bright, musical and the horrifying, violent, villain is what makes the show so good. I hope I get to one day see the look of horror on a mother's face when she watches Centaurworld with her kid and she sees all this disturbing stuff.
@@jacobcox4565 lol its

Ride the whaletaur shaman is an incredible episode. From horses heartbreaking attempted suicide to the characters of sunfish merguy and the whaletaur shaman to the comedy of the merman magazines, just fantastic.
The whaletaur song is my favorite from the show, it has so much meaning and I frikking love the VA voice.
I agree. Got to be one of the best episodes from season 1. It still brings tears to my eyes
Everything about it is a work of art
And the moment where Horse jumps into the Whaletaur Shaman right in front of everyone still chills me to the bone
Yeah I really wasn't expecting such a poignant depression/suicide metaphor from this show. Definitely the darkest episode IMO, almost too much for a kid's show.
What really got me was the Sunfish discussing how he provides all sorts of fun activities for the people seeking the whale shaman, but like IRL depression, those activities are just joyless distractions to them, and they end up picking the whale every time.
Jesus Christ Centaurworld...
The seaweed wrapped around the whaletaur shaman's arms resembles bandages - for people who attempted suicide by cutting their wrists.

@@drownedtrashrat3501 It makes a lot of sense, honestly. Both shows use a light tone to deal with very serious themes. The animation style and the content type aren't generally done together, so fans of one show will probably enjoy the other.

My little sister was a fan of Centaurworld so I thought why not?
And before that, I also clicked on a Helluva Boss reaction thinking it was a Hazbin Hotel reaction for some reason, so…there’s that

The Whaletaur episode was literally a "fuck you" to the people who thought it was just kiddy kid shit... LIKE, MY DUDE, MY JAW DROPPED LIKE OHHHHH MY GOD OH MY GOD-
Same. I was like what the fuck, horse just committed suicide? What the fuck
Yeah as she was singing, I just started thinking to myself, 'wait wtf they're referencing suicide, wait how are they doing this, they're not actually going to do it right, what the heck they're actually doing this, how is this a kids show with a blatant reference to suicide????'
"The world of the day is Euthanasia, can you say it?"
All aboard the vore-whale ig
That episode had me an emotional wreck
I'm so so sooooo glad they killed off the Nowhere King, I feel like any other series would've just befriended him then be like "even though you've killed hundreds of thousands including mutating a literal army of creatures (to which we know that some of them retain memories) now that we're friends, its alll okay now"
Also something I just caught, the princess was looking down into his eyes a for a few moments since he was looking up at her, then her gaze oh so barely moved upwards and away so she could actually go through with the kill. Beautiful.
Her name is Mysterious Woman or The Princess, like how Rider is only Rider and Horse is Horse.
If you listen to the lyrics, you understand why she killed him instead of giving him another chance. They're chilling.
let's not forget the nowhere king also converts civilians of any age into his creations. which explains stabby.

For some reason I don't think this show was truly meant for kids. Like the Brave Little Toaster.
@@generalzeta7000 just shows that reviewers/rating boards only watch the first 2-5 episodes before rating a show.
Holy shit *I'm* traumatized from that
It’s like a 2D animated version of that damn bear from “Annihilation”
Horse legitimately tries to off herself TWICE. Nearly three times if you count her wanting to be left in the hole in season two. WOW that would be traumatic for me if I was a child- but instead I’m an adult and it’s just,,, painfully relatable at times-
Wait what was the other time (not including the whale one)
@@rawcookiedough7518 have you seen the finale)
@@cucckles I don't think what was suicide more like self sacrifice. And she wasn't really dead
Would you really have the maturity to understand as a kid that when horse jumped into the whaletaur it was implying suicide? There's already a lot of adult jokes in kid shows these days that kids just miss all the time.
@@rawcookiedough7518 Self-sacrifice is still suicide. While she does end up coming back, it wasn’t necessarily her actual plan. When she gets there, her song anout herself is in the past tense.
It seems her plan was to freeze NWK and the army, and then they’d kill the NWK while he was frozen. Killing her with it.
I love how this show has the same rating as mlp.
This show is made by the same person who make My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. She even wrote the epic season 4 finale
@@syabilaazri7834 i've googled this and i don't see anything about lauren faust having worked on centaur world. your comment is really confusing, there is only 2 seasons of centaur world, and if you referring to mlp season 4 lauren faust stopped working on mlp after season 2.
@@CrazyGreenFluff sorry, wrong writing. Megan is just one of the show writer
@@syabilaazri7834 I was confused when you said that, because when I looked up who the creator and writer for Centaurworld was, I found it was Megan Nicole Dong. Who, from what I can find, had nothing to do with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The closest I found was that Meghan McCarthy is story editor. Which, even then, Meghan was only one of the main writers of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, not the creator. Who was Lauren Faust. I would suggest being more careful with your information.
@giosie giovanna yeah I was gennualy surprised they showed multible times equestria embroiled in war or total anialation. Of course being a kids show they don't really focus on that to much but still I would love it if these alternative worlds/ futures got explained more.
I talked about it in class and recently someone at my school asked why I watch a show meant for a little kids...
I don’t think so...
Also love how much of this is Nowhere King-related violence and horror. It’s my favorite part of the show
Kids can handle this subjects, it's not even explicit. Just like learning about wars in school
I love the absurd and mildly disturbing so this fits my criteria well

@@Oddity-Odyssey lmao
Just say something like "the idea of not allowing yourself to enjoy something for fear of looking childish, is childish in-it-of-itself." Maybe in a less word-sy way though, like why would you not let yourself enjoy something so you appear more "adult"? That's something that kids do
Why did I feel the need to use up multiple minutes of my life to think of and write out a reply to this
According to the show's creator, the reason the tiny versions immediately have an existential crisis every time is because they have all the memories of the original right up to the moment of their creation, so from their perspective they tried to create a tiny version and became one instead.
There's an entire horror game (SOMA) made on pretty much this exact premise.
This show is all over the place when it comes to tone. One moment it feels very childish and something I can see younger kids really enjoying. And the next moment it pulls out some of the darkest shit I’ve seen in a kids show. Like anything to do with the nowhere king would have terrified me as a kid.
it's like the beast from over the garden wall but so much worse, and including crimes against humanity
Yeah, i almost couldn't sleep last night just at the thought of the Nowhere King's story
That's one of the things about it that makes it appeal to me
I enjoy media that is deep, mature, and emotional, but I also specially enjoy goofy children's shows. A little too much of either and I'm tired of it. Centaurworld has that variety in tone that keeps me invested
I loved that part of the show because it felt like it was meant to be jarring. The back and forth between silly goofy and traumatizingly serious felt like the perfect way to showcase the difference between the human world and centaur world and how you're supposed to "respect the balance from both sides" centaurs can't always be silly and niave, just like humans can't always be serious and depressed.
@@plumbleebeewhen I was a kid and watched it that show fucked me up I’m scared for life
One my favorite things about this show is how most of the characters make a casual reference to murder
“Is someone being murdered?”

@@dirkdoogenstein idk that’s what i was thinking too
And they ended up still alive somehow
When I saw Rider get stabbed I literally said out loud "she got Marcied!”
@@A._.MurderOfCrows i laughed
One of my favorite characters by far is Becky Apples. I love how she is so starkly contrasted with Horse, in that Horse cares about Rider more than just about anything and is a true warrior at heart, fearless in the face of the enemy and kind to her friends. Becky meanwhile is aloof, and doesn't care about Rider all that much unless it pertains to helping her accomplish the one thing Becky does better than almost anyone else in this show, and that's butchering minotaurs en masse. Because while Horse is a warrior, Becky is a killer. Who is also deeply addicted to apples.
Okay so there is

This show snuck up on me. When season 1 came out I just watched it for the heck of it and I couldn't stop
Same. Needed something to pass the time, the scene they showed as a preview on netflix was the scene with child wammawink. I was like "wtf, you can't just leave me on that??" and clicked. Never looked back.
I saw the internet talking about it and I got bored one day.
No regrets. This show is amazing.
I honestly didnt watch it at first because of the artstyle plus it saying it was for 7yr+ because I thought "oh ok its just for young kiddos" but GOD, I watched it recently and it was absolutely amazing.
Okay but those bird/egg messages are terrifying

@@ngyikp we love you Alex
People keep saying that if they saw this show as a child, they’d be traumatized. I disagree. I think this show is probably one of the best out there right now. It has a very compelling story with an amazing meaning for kids to learn. The music is amazing. It’s bright and colourful. And also honestly it tackles a lot of issues we don’t normally see in kids shows. Instead of hiding the darker side of the world from kids can cause them to grow up without the knowledge these things exist. The suicide representation is a great example of how amazing the show portrays it for kids. They explain it simply enough and without actually saying it’s suicide but imply it. Then at the end when horse is rescued, they go through the explanation that you shouldn’t give up and pain is normal. It’s beautIful. And it doesn’t glorify suicide but merely explains it. So then the kid might ask their parent questions and then it can be explained.
Most villains in kids shows are never punished really for what they’ve done. Villains who aren’t punished could teach kids that their negative actions don’t have consequences or that you should forgive every single person no matter what they’ve done to you (which is not healthy). But this show instead says no and gives the Nowhere King the punishment he deserved.
People have got to understands kids are more mature then we give them credit. I think the Y7 rating is perfect for this show and doesn’t need to go higher or lower whatsoever
I agree another thing alot of kids shows do is have the villian be locked away forever or, if they are actually killed off it's usually framed as an accident(which is also a bad choice in my opinion, considering how many villians in kids shows just happen to fall off cliffs). I think that centaur world handled this perfectly, with the villian being directly killed off by another character.
bro this aint for kids ☠️
Kids have and will always be shown ratings that are intended for adults and be completely fine ‘cause it sails over their heads but…
…this is no kid’s show.
This is something that got Y-7 slapped onto it simply because it didn’t have any blatant cursing (despite “what the FLANK” but. Y’know.) which is a darn shame. Shame as in a lot of women’s works get infantilized regardless of content, and it is depressingly common for it to happen to WoC
The rating *should* be higher by content and the intended themes. The fact that it’s not smells pretty rotten in the state of denmark.
@@anonymousfellow8879 I agree with you. Some female creators of shows have their work infantilized. But I also think shows like this that deals with darker but important elements in a way that is kid friendly is also important to show kids. They learn of these darker things later on anyways. And sometimes it isn’t in good circumstances. This show allows you to prepare your kids in a healthy way. And obviously I mean kids seven and up. Those kids are able to understand specific issues really well. We’ve gotten used to shows talking down to children and shielding them from darker real life issues. Of course if a child doesn’t like it or thinks it’s scary, they obviously can stop watching. But if my kid ever says they want to watch it, I won’t stop them.
A movie that can be considered scary for some kids but we’ll loved by others is Coraline. Yes it has a pg rating but I had friends who were genuinely completely terrified and traumatized by that movie. However, I loved it when I was a child. Every kids is different and will want to watch different things.
No bro people are not saying they'd be scarred if they watched this as kids because of the messages behind the show. No kid is going to get scarred from the whaletaur song or from Horse jumping into her mouth. This isn't about "suicide representation" or how mature 7 year olds are. That's not what people are referring to.
People are saying they'd be scarred and traumatized if they watched this as kids because we literally just watched a deer get *his skin melted off* into black goo and contort his body into a plague monster of death. We watched a colourful bird person get turned into a disturbing crocodile hybrid abomination. We watched the main villain unhinge it's jaw and eat a character on screen, as the victim's body struggled to hold on to life while being digested inside the abyss. This show lures you in with a colourful and bubbly outside, and then hits you with a visceral scene of a man trying to drown a fucking deer and only stopping because he started spouting water from all the orifices in his face and almost drowning himself.
This isn't about if kids can understand "the message" or not. People are saying they'd be scarred if they watched this as kids because THIS SHOW IS FUCKING DISTURBING.

@@arandomperson12345 adult shows do it too, but this show would have thrived if it was rated for teens and higher.
Let's take a moment to understand the gorish implication of Woman using a blunt instrument to kill the Elktaur. It's not gonna be pretty.
This makes me cry every time I see it. You KNOW she still loved him even after all those years but had to kill him for the Nowhere King and the General to die. Both worlds were messed up because of the Elktaur's selfish actions. I mean seriously, she SAID she would have loved him just as he was. And before he separated himself into these two entities, he was a sincere, nice, rather handsome Elktaur and the Princess/Woman liked him...but by this point so much bad had happened in both worlds, I think to Woman it felt like instead of killing her husband she was putting a pet to sleep...and the complexity of all of this still makes me sob like a baby
I watched this whole series with my little brother and when 6:30 happened we both stared at each other in absolute horror. I personally have never seen such a graphic drowning attempt in ANY cartoon before... Let alone one with such a rating!
I didn't realize that "Why didn't you guys just let me do the war crimes?" Was a line omfg
At the beginning the warning would really be:
*“Dark humor, horror, death, war, trauma, pain, suicide attempts, fear, sacrifices, emotional scenes and… ‘normal’ mermen”* XD
Ep 8 may as well be titled ‘Kinkshaming and Whale-Assisted Suicide’
Yeah
6:50 this scene literally made me lowkey terrified and i know kids in the future are gonna be like “so did this traumatize you as a kid or was it just me?”
So being a war criminal DOESN'T get forgiven just cause you have a sad backstory.... or a change of heart

Well, it happened to me on the 1st version of this video :( hence why the title of this 2nd version is awkwardly named
in germany its for kids at the age of 6. i let my 9/10 old siblings watch it But only when i am around so i can teach them about everything they want to know so its less sad and scary for them.
but lets be real here, this series i was we needed at the time and its so great
honestly glad centaurworld is keeping up the tried and true tradition of traumatizing children! I mean that honestly I think it's good for kids to be exposed to content that challenges and even spooks them a little in a safe way. I certainly loved the Goosebumps series and Twilight Zone as a child, even though I know have a lifelong fear of dolls.
I like how at 0:43 her face is like "oh suurrre~ you were" to when she sees her being told not to talk about that and realize, ok wow it's true.
The sound editing on Horse’s reaction, gold
When I saw they added “su*cide references” my hand hit my mouth so hard it hurt
Makes me think it was maybe a sort of a Coraline-esque situation. Like how Neil Gaiman tested out his new book Coraline on his editor's young kids to see if it was okay for them and it turns out after he got the OK from them, years later, he finds out the kids were terrified but they needed to see how the story ended lmao.
Or younger kids now are less spooked by stuff like this, couldn't tell ya lol
i love how the show actually had the balls to kill off its main villiain instead of trying to redeem him
I was a part of the MLP fandom, that show had dark moments throughout the 8 season run, but Becky Apples alone brings the fear and dark humour of god into your soul. Water Baby and Glendale will always be my favorites though
After everything the Nowhere King's been through, at least the Elk side, I don't blame him. But I do hold both sides accountable especially the human side
you know they're just 1 and the same....
It’s such a gamble recommending this show to people, because I either realize the person will find it too silly or too dark for them halfway through explaining it to them
My friends’ reactions are always ones of absolute confusion while I try to explain the show (granted trying to explain it is a quite the struggle)
i just like to point out glendale singing in the taurnado that she accepted her fate to go live in the sky was hilarious.
You forgot to mention the several times glendale's portal is called a "pregnancy hole" and that she has a cult dedicated to her, and that she steals children and people several times. xD
Oh. Oh, dear.
The Elk's ending was perfect. That's how you make a sympathetic villain without forcing a toxic "forgive everyone" message. He hurt too many people and killed countless and just because he's sorry doesn't make that go away.
I'm so happy a lot of kids shows aren't falling into the same traps as SU.
The diamonds aren't redeemed, Steven still hates them.
There's a lot about centaurworld that could be considered not exactly kid friendly, but I don't think the whaletaur episode is one of them. It's obviously supposed to be an allegory for suicide/depression, but children can handle heavy subjects and the show did it in an age appropriate way. Unfortunately a lot of young kids have depression or have had suicidal thoughts, so the message of seeking help in times of hopeless/worthlessness is a good one imo
apparently not according to most adults who have children dealing with those subjects.
@@cryptid_girl2355 I struggled with depression at that age and I honestly think I might have done better if I had been informed through age appropriate shows about how to seek help instead of stumbling across different, and many times untrustworthy, sources online or from media that was inappropriate for my age. So it makes me happy to see how many new shows are covering mental health.
Also, I hope you are doing well mentally!
So true. I have spoken to people 11-14 years old who had sucidal thoughts. Even as a small child I was aware of suicide
Kids now more than ever need to be educated about suicide and mental health because so many of them are already thinking about it and they need guidance.
The Whaletaur episode is beautiful
I really want a video where I can see all of the great, uncomfortable Comfortable Doug scenes.
I'd actually argue that Centaurworld really IS for kids, in the same way that old animated films like Secret of NIMH are still very much for kids, even though they are really dark. Kids can handle some dark shit as long as you actually allow them to engage with the topics and themes presented in the media they watch, and not shield them, or tell them that it's bad.
Agreed
Wise words.
I see it as very Don Bluth inspired, it just took inspiration from ALL of Bluth's work. Lol
(Don Bluth had some silly, fart joke laden movies, in addition to his dark ones. Lol)
How is this a kids show?! The creepy version of the Nowhere King lullaby, the Nowhere King himself, to the Nowhere King’s past; surely that will leave any kid traumatized. Along with weird scenes and some adult humor.
Don't forget body horror
And Glendale
@@rosykindbunny1313 is that a reference to another comment here?
I mean, the Nowhere King stuff isn't that bad, since it's the baddie. I'm more concerned about the emotional distress shown regularly by the main cast and *cough* you know... that whole whaletaur shaman thing.
i love that it's for kids lol. A lot of the shows we used to watch were just as cursed, we just didn't realize until we got older
Remember the episode where Glendale confronts a bunch of people about their fear of a tyrant by stating all the things that make her insane anxious.
4:15
There is no way Rider wasn't traumatized by that.
Her face was "wtf am I witnessing"
I will admit when the nowhere king was revealed I got stage 4 whiplash
6:38 is my absolute favorite, the nwk is such a cool character and I love his backstory (I'm genuinely not simping over the villain this time, I just think he's well written lol)
I finally get it. ITS A HORSE ISSEKAI
I mean, you're not wrong but I'm still mad about it!
wow, that last scene felt profound like, “see the light leaving your eyes” but she closes her as she dulls out the killing blow 😵💫
kindergarten is actually the perfect age to watch an on-screen suicide attempt /s

It's PG in the UK, but TV-Y7 in USA
in germany its for kids at the age of 6. i let my 9/10 old siblings watch it But only when i am around so i can teach them about everything they want to know so its less sad and scary for them
@@ngyikp It should be rated 12. And therefore, It should be TV-PG and TV-14 in the US.
@@ngyikp Also Teen Titans Go is TV-PG. Wouldn’t TV-Y7 be fine for Teen Titans Go.
@@homeguestunton Little Witch Academia had the s word HOW IS THAT TV-Y7!!!!?????
0:44 There is no war in ba sing se.
The Nowhere King is so fricking terrifying that I'm astonished people would consider this whole series to be "for kids" and no one else. Lol.
That guy would've given me _so_ many nightmares as a kid.
This show can be genuinely terrifying sometimes
I honestly was so surprised that they had an episode that symbolized suicide.
I’ve seen some scary things in life, but the nowhere kings is probably the most terrifying thing I have ever witnessed
It's good to know the kids are getting scared by cartoons again. Continuing on tradition.
As one of the kids that enjoy this "cartoon": We don't fear this. We feed off of this :)
@@drownedtrashrat3501 I'm Impossibly glad to hear this. That's even better
@@dinofeino1811 tbh I don't fear _for_ my generation anymore, I just fear my generation lol
5:48 "Kids show"
Yes. Teaching the children to hide the bodys
Nah this is like 10+ or something
I never watched this show, but the humor is so chaotic and I love it.
i just noticed the reference to Lovecraft
Like, this show is not trying to hide the fact that it’s dark at all
"why didn't you guys just let me do the war crimes" NAH
There was also a scene that just had a bunch of dead bodies
Centaurworld: The whole human world, the Herd's emotional disturbances, Taurnado, the Whaletaur Shaman, the relationship between the General and the Nowhere King, etc...
Whoever the fuck was responsible for the PG rating: 6+, but please put on a warning.
I'm not sure if that was the plan or not, but I can't believe for one second that Nicole Dong expected that to be an elementary school-level show.
The taurnado song in itself is a horror story...
"It's all just a bad dream. When I wake up, they'll all be back."
This always hits me.
I might be alone in saying this, but truly only one thing haunts me in my sleep from this show... 06:17
“For every orphaned child that’s abandoned, we find new family units to land in!”
I’m glad that this generation of kids gets to have some wholesome, quality cartoon trauma. Genuinely. When I was little I had a much better understanding of death and horror and war than adults thought, and getting to explore those things within the tidy structure of a cartoon with comedic emotional aftercare made the world a lot less confusing. Think of the land before time series! That was good shit.
Why this is one of the most amazing shows in ages I will never understand how it got a tv-y7 rating
Episode 8 in season one has seriously so many questions about the y7 rating lol
This is what tv execs need to see along with the Concerned Moms. Kids can.be surprisingly dark on their own without outside influence.
"It's just a bad dream.. When I wake up, they'll all be back.."
God dammit man that made me tear up oh my god, that hit harder after not watching it for a while.
Edit: _GAGS FROM THE BONE CRACKLING NOISE._
"And you made me draw a man on it, a *mer-man* on it-!"
The tone of cold, hard judgement she put into the pronounciation fo that one word... XD
It's crazy how this entire video skips the most messed up parts of every scene it includes
“We make burnt offerings to Trebbor” is probably my favorite line
I love the relationship of Durpleton and Baby Stabby. ❤
This is the show that kids ten years from now will be like "do you remember this? it traumatized me as a kid lmao"
Hush now, hide, all you little ones
Rush now, into the middle of nowhere
Singing and laughter will die
Dreamless sleep, follows the Nowhere King
When his kingdom comes, darkness is nigh
Quiet, crawl to the in-between
Silent, secretive feeling
Of fearsome hatred that reaches the skies
You will bring joy to the Nowhere King
When he sees the light leaving your eyes
:)
Damn.
The Nowhere King is one of the most unnerving and juat genuinely scary villians I've seen in a "kids cartoon" (if you could even call centaur world that.) His design and back story and lullaby just pair together so perfectly to make a really eerie and terrifying villian who only wants suffering.
1:50 yep. That’s supposed to be a human transmutation circle
I’m totally stealing “sometimes you get weird powers, because of ancient rites and hormones”
