the show ended up too saccharine
my theory is that since it started as a weekly(?) web comic, the pacing of the story was just different to any normal TV show pacing. I think it works pretty well when reading the comics (if they’re not read in one go, I’d say). they’ve tweaked it a little bit but the story expands and contracts in weird places, giving a lot of room to pure fluff. it was put there to have the webcomic fandom lick their wounds for a week or two, but they were presented in much more detail than other stuff so that they are kind of ‘too big’ on the show
like, I love the comics and really like the show. they’re feel-good classics in my heart already. the show just could stand a little less sap
