After premiering on the CN Anything app, and having numerous shorts, Mighty Magiswords has premiered on Cartoon Network. The original shorts worked well, showing the origins of them gaining some magiswords and even starting their Warriors for Hire business. I found most of the minisodes good, with very few being meh. So the question is, does Mighty Magiswords work well as a series compared to the shorts? Well yes and no.
Before we get onto the story, lets take about one of the most important parts of any animated show, the animation. Magiswords has a very smooth animation. The colors are bright and colorful, and they pop on the screen. The character designs are also interesting, in a good way. Lastly, the Magiswords (from what has been seen) are creative and are an endless possibility.
Now onto the two episodes, starting with "The Mystery of Loch Mess." The episode was ok. It was weak with some of the humor and didn't carry the charm of the minisodes. It also was weak with the opposing "heroes" Witch Way. The one good thing it had was that it fleshed out the area around the kingdom. Now onto "Squirrelled Domination", the second and better of the two. This episode brought the charm and the humor seen in the minisodes. It shined by giving each of the Warriors their own stories, and their own problems to overcome. It also fetchers one on the funniest stories ever told.
Mighty Magiswords has potential. It grew from it's five minute outing to an eleven minute outing, and even though it was a bit rough, it has potential. I'm excited to see where the series can go from here and am looking forward to it.
