Uhoh. Centaurworld carries more magic than expected. (not actually spoilers)
In the second episode, Horse sings about being afraid that by time she makes it home, she'll be unrecognizable to her Rider. That hit me hard, right in the feels, probably again because of Millimax. I nearly cried, and it's only episode two! I feel like this show is calculatedly finding my weak points.
I remember catching glimpses, sometimes whole episodes, of the treacley crap that passed for cartoons aimed at the lucrative and impressionable young "girl" demographic... and actually liking some of them, then later in life growing super jaded about them. Centaurworld really feels like some folks in the same boat decided to go back and express all that jadedness (it's a word, okay?) while digging through for the worthwhile bits and bringing them to the surface where they can be earnest, and that's cutting right through my defenses and I'm glad for it.
