Seeing Family Guy have a genuinely wholesome, no-strings-attatched episode was like a mental flashbang. Probably the last show I would expect to have a nice episode like that, lol.
Kiff is one of the most underrated shows I’ve ever seen. It offers up a lot of unique premises for episodes and manages to both subvert expectations while also teaching valuable lessons in non-cringey ways. Kiff deserves more attention.
Kiff is pretty cute honestly. While not story driven, it's got alot of charm to it and kiff herself is a delight. And can we admit how weirdly catchy its theme song is?
I heard about this show. I hear this was animated by Andrew Chesworth (he made that animation last year: The Brave Locomotive and has helped make many Disney projects
As someone who also deals with anger issues and anxiety I relate to Lagoona not just in this episode but throughout the whole series. Also in the episode A little boost right before Lagoona meets Gil she mentions that after they made the movie she continued to make romance stories as they help cope with her anger and anxiety and I thought that was really important to show younger kids that deal with anger that there are better ways to deal your feelings instead of lashing out at people.
Moon Girl works so well. Season 2 is the most hyped animated series of 2024 for me. Though the beyonder is still the best for me because he’s just such a great character.
The Carter Pewterschmidt episode is something I never expected Carter to be to be honest. He already has three grown children (yes including Patrick) and he was a terrible parent to each of them. Seeing something like this screams that a parent has another chance to be a better parent.
I think these are my favorite animated scenes of 2023 that I’ve seen 1. TMNT Mutant Mayhem: No Diggity 2. Blue Eye Samurai: Infiltrating the castle 3. Spider Verse: Miles vs The Spider Society, Miles in Earth 42 4. Ninjago Dragons Rising: Ninja vs Beatrix, Sora’s true potential/Lloyd and Wu 5. Jujitsu Kaisen: Sukuna’s arrival 6. The Owl House: The ending. (It was just beautiful) 7. Monkie Kid: MK vs Ink MK 8. Invincible: Mark vs The Viltrimites 9. The Bad Batch: Crosshair and Mayday surviving the cold 10. What If…? What If the Avengers fought Peter Quill
I couldn’t be more hyped for Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur’s second season, I’ve never found myself loving every single episode of a show so consistently! I agree with the episode pick for this list (it actually taught me a lot about gentrification), but my favorite episode is the hair one. It does such a great job with the message of not changing for someone else, especially when they’re putting you down for something that had nothing wrong with it in the first place! Afterwards, I loved my hair even more. All I want to do with it is dye it dark blue like my avatar!
This decade has shown that quality is still there and we don't have to dig for it, just happily stumble it Excellent list; I'd personally add some GLORIOUS episodes as at least honorable mentions like The Fairy Isle from Hilda, This Missive, This Machination from Invincible or Dragon from Bluey, but noice list overall, mate!
13:12 NOT Only is The Winter King the Best Episode of Fionna and Cake but the most beautifully animated episode of the whole show and thus I still do LOVE Adventure Time for it's characters
I just started watching Kiff recently, and man that show needs more recognition. It’s just such a cute and charming show that reminds me of Ghost and Molly McGee and Harvey Beaks with a little bit of Gumball as Alpha Jay said. While obviously being it’s own unique thing at the same time.
@@VigilanteLulu tbf Hilda came out at the very end of the year, bingewatching 8 half hour episodes along the ones on this list might hvae delayed this video
7:22 it's good when SpongeBob has a stand out episode in there recent season and has as sweet as flowers and having Plankton act different to the point where he didn't always wanted the serect Formula
I haven't heard of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur until now, and damn, the art style is absolutely stunning. It kinda makes me nervous that it's owned by Disney. Those guys are very trigger-happy when it comes to cancelling good animated shows.
Meanwhile the Ghost and Molly McGee just ended…right as I was getting used to the idea of it sticking around. Believe me, I am *not* used to Disney cartoons having less than 3 seasons Either way, I blame Ollie 😂
Speaking of seasons, I wish Disney would get off their arses and approve one more season of Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go! Since it was cancelled on a cliffhanger. Heck, it doesn't have to be a whole season, it can just either be a movie (a TV movie at that) or a couple of episodes. Or at least sell it to another studio such as Bandai Namco Studio (previously Sunrise) so that way it can be added to the Super Robot Taisen/Wars franchise.
And this was how I learned Molly McGee ended... I was really expecting it to last longer, it seemed like their most popular show after Owl House ended. I wonder what happened behind the scenes?
It's impressive how stylistically different each of these shows are- in looks, direction, tone, etc. That's what I love about Animation. That's what I wish some shows, like the Clone High revival, leant into further. (I'd put Watching and Dreaming or For The Future on my list, as both cover the connectedness of community- although it seems the Moon Girl episode takes it to the next level.)
If I had a nickel for every time a good 2023 show staring Bella Ramsey fighting hostile fungus monsters, I'll have 2 nickels. I know it isn't much but it's strange that it happen twice. My favorite episodes of 2023 are from those shows so I'll rank them because they’re basically my best episodes of 2023 list. The first show ranking: 9. Kin 8. When You’re Lost in the Darkness 7. Infected 6. Please Hold to My Hand 5. Look for the Light 4. Endure and Survive 3. When We Are in Need 2. Long, Long Time 1. Left Behind The second show ranking: 8. Strange Frequencies 7. The Laughing Merman 6. The Fairy Mound 5. The Job 4. The Giantslayer 3. The Train to Tofoten 2. The Fairy Isle 1. The Forgotten Lake
I have tremendously high hopes for Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur! I’m holding out that it breaks Disney Channel’s four season max and last six seasons (and perhaps a movie!) There is so much potential in this show have it deserves to use it all in every possible way!
Surprised you didn't at least have an honorable mention for the The Owl House's finale for at least an action oriented beat down of Belos in his Kaiju form when Luz gets her own Titan form to fight him.
Here are some honorable mentions that I’ve found on Netflix that weren’t from 2023 but are still pretty underrated. Romantic Killer - I’m surprised that no one knows about this anime, because it’s one of the few animes that I absolutely adore. It’s characters are relatable and the anime basically explains how finding childhood relationships can affect your life, even if a magical fairy Bee & Puppy-Cat - Holy cow was this show good. Although the show is rated TV-14, it’s still a comedic yet slightly wholesome show. My favorite character Cas is a transgender character but that doesn’t change how absolutely underrated and hyped this show was to premiere on Netflix in 2022 Sonic Prime - This show was like a jump back in time for me, literally. The idea of Sonic time traveling to different eras was creative yet it’s been a little overused in the past. I used to play Sonic Run when I was little and I’m happy to see that Sonic Prime is a lot better than Sonic Boom, which was a show with mixed ratings. I agree with all of your opinions as well, 2023 was a great year for underrated shows!
14:27 well Kiff may not be as the Spiritual Successor to The Amazing World of Gumball but it still is funny charming Wholesome and cute and with what Kiff is Granted is it as Great as Amphibia and or The Owl House or The Ghost and Molly McGee? again NOT Really but it's still a fun Disney Cartoon to watch
"If you get the reference" which one? Believe it or not Harambe was not the first time a child fell into the gorilla pen. However, the one with Harambe was unfortunate since the people unlike the other one were agitating Harambe by throwing things among other things. Sadly, the zoo keepers had to act because if something happens to people even if it's their own fault, the zoo can get into a lot of trouble including lawsuits. Casual Geographic had talked about zoos getting into trouble because stupid people got hurt or died in some of his videos.
17:56 and thus a Shining Star has razing above the Rest and thus Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur is the Best Cartoon from Disney of all things and thus it gives hope for a New Disney Cartoon has arrived shortly after The Owl House has ended and thus I LOVED Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur is for it being action packed and quite hilarious and maybe the Best Superhero Cartoon that came from Marvel and Disney of all things thus it will give me hope that one Action Superhero Cartoons will make a comeback and I look forward to when Season 2 will premiere in February
good to know it will gave something better to watch on Netflix other then Big Mouth which we can all agree the show has gone wayyy Down hill in it's recent seasons @@TheAlphaJayShow
and thus it Makes Moon Girl Girl and Devil Dinosaur more action packed stylized from it's soundtrack and quite hilarious and makes it a much better Superhero Cartoon from Disney and a lot better then Big Hero 6 the Series at least the Baymax series is better then Big Hero 6 the Series but we can all Agree that Moon Girl and Dino Dinosaur is the Best Superhero Cartoon in recent years Can't wait for Season 2
Hi alpha jay I know it’s not about 2023 but may you please make a review on S3 episode dragon on Bluey if you can respond or do it that would help really nice.
I haven't finished the video but bro put a Fionna and Cake episode in his worst ranking but so far his best rankings are from Family Guy, new Total Drama Island, and the fucking Monster High reboot?? 💀 I know everything's subjective but mmm... yikes
Ok I can't really say my opinion has changed cuz I haven't seen most the episodes on this list but I can't also can't really judge. But still what were those first 3 picks lmao
Seeing Family Guy have a genuinely wholesome, no-strings-attatched episode was like a mental flashbang. Probably the last show I would expect to have a nice episode like that, lol.
Absolutely
So that's why I felt a chill
Same... And this time by the looks of it... No Twisted Undertones unlike other who try to be "Wholesome"
Perhaps, there may be hope for Family Guy after all
@@bw-leftturnracing7779 It's more likely just a lucky fluke. But hey. Not complaining.
Kiff is one of the most underrated shows I’ve ever seen. It offers up a lot of unique premises for episodes and manages to both subvert expectations while also teaching valuable lessons in non-cringey ways.
Kiff deserves more attention.
Agreed wholeheartedly
Kiff is pretty cute honestly. While not story driven, it's got alot of charm to it and kiff herself is a delight. And can we admit how weirdly catchy its theme song is?
@@TheAlphaJayShow the flower pot is a better version of the new leaf episode.
I may be a little late to this comment, but I wanted to say I watched Kiff since it came out and yes Kiff deserves MORE
“My Dad the Bounty Hunter” was the best thing Netflix ever did. Here’s hoping we get a third season.
I heard about this show. I hear this was animated by Andrew Chesworth (he made that animation last year: The Brave Locomotive and has helped make many Disney projects

YAY KIFF AND MOON GIRL MENTION!!
Surprised there wasnt a mention of Scott Pilgrim or Bluey here
...or Hilda. Leaving out one of the best animated shows of the 2010/20's should be a crime.
Moon Girl is epic though and really deserves the mention!
@@VigilanteLulu tbf Hilda came out at the very end of the year, bingewatching 8 half hour episodes along the ones on this list might hvae delayed this video
I hope the future of animation is actually a lot brighter than what it appears right now.
That way we can get more best episodes videos like this!
7:22 it's good when SpongeBob has a stand out episode in there recent season and has as sweet as flowers and having Plankton act different to the point where he didn't always wanted the serect Formula
Definitely!
Have you watched Hilda yet? Season 3 (the final season) popped up literally last month and the finale (The Fairy Isle) hits you HARD in the feels.
I haven't heard of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur until now, and damn, the art style is absolutely stunning. It kinda makes me nervous that it's owned by Disney. Those guys are very trigger-happy when it comes to cancelling good animated shows.
The animation was done by Flying Bark, who also did Glitch Techs, Rise of the TMNT, and Lego Monkie Kid. All of their modern shows look stunning!
Meanwhile the Ghost and Molly McGee just ended…right as I was getting used to the idea of it sticking around. Believe me, I am *not* used to Disney cartoons having less than 3 seasons
Either way, I blame Ollie 😂
LOL yes
Speaking of seasons, I wish Disney would get off their arses and approve one more season of Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go! Since it was cancelled on a cliffhanger.

Ollie aside, molly mcgee did end on a great note all things considered. Beautifully bittersweet
And this was how I learned Molly McGee ended... I was really expecting it to last longer, it seemed like their most popular show after Owl House ended.
I wonder what happened behind the scenes?
Blame Ollie? Damm you people are pathetic and miserable 😂
Yes, Another upload from Alpha Jay is here! Best day ever thank you very much for this Jay!!!
I'm glad you like it!

It’s good to see another fellow Kiff enjoyer on my feed.
