This week i found myself a new hyperfixation: Disney's Fireball. A 2000s japan exclusive series of shorts that aired on Disney Japan and nowhere else about a princess robot and her giant butler spider hanging out in their castle set in a post apocalyptic world
Highly HIGHLY recommend. This show is about 15 years old and yet it feels like a show that would come out today. The snappy, fast paced humor centered around the character dialogue all fit into 39 2 minute shorts. TELL me that doesn't sound like a TikTok series. Probably the best aged comedy ive ever seen and a very modern example of something being years ahead of it's time.
There are 4 seasons, each going further back in time from where we start. This results in not only great comedy, but also really interesting, be it vague, worldbuilding.
The whole thing is available for free with a quick google (except for 10 episodes of season 3, those are apparently lost media)
What pains me however is that this show is TOO obscure. Like, this is the first time im diving into an interest so niche there is nothing but CRUMBS of content. I cannot emphasize enough how quick these episodes fly by and how much they leave you wanting more of it- WHICH WE WILL PROBABLY NEVER GET CAUSE ITS SO NICHE 😭
Even looking the series up online its crazy how little discussion there is of it outside youtube and tiktok clips.
Go watch Fireball! Its awesome! I hope this show gets the attention it deserves
