Ever since the end of 2020, I've been watching less cartoons and more anime. But in early 2021 I decided to change that and start watching an equal amount of anime and cartoons. I kinda failed at that, since I watch like 700+ animes and 200+ cartoons, but still, I managed to watch cartoons again. I had a bit of a nostalgic road trip so I watched some cartoons that I watched but didn't get to finish. One of these cartoons is Summer Camp Island.
I watched the first 3 episodes on Cartoon Network back in Summer of 2018. I enjoyed it. Now, I completed the entire series, and it's my new favorite comfort cartoon.
Before I get to my points, I just wanted to say that Summer Camp Island isn't my favorite comfort animated series. My real favorite comfort animated series is Hetalia : Axis Powers. But, Hetalia is an anime, not a cartoon, so it obviously can't be my favorite comfort cartoon. I consider cartoons as animated forms of media that are not from Japan. Meanwhile, I consider anime as animated forms of media that are from Japan. Hetalia is from Japan, so that's why it doesn't count.
Anyways, on to my points :
1. Story Good Story Traits - This is basically American Iyashikei. Iyashikei is a type of anime that features the characters living peaceful lives. This really reminds me of Amaama To Inazuma and Yuru Camp. The story is so pleasant and satisfying that I can't believe some people hate this series. The characters are all charming and I really want to live in the Summer Camp Island the series takes place in.
Bad Story Traits - Honestly, there's nothing bad about the story. It's all amazing and charming.
2. Animation Good Animation Traits - While most people don't like the artstyle because it's 'too cartoony' or 'too simple', I adore the artstyle. It's so cute and so simple.
Bad Animation Traits - Honestly, there's nothing bad about the animation either.
Overall, this series is a masterpiece. It's so wholesome and charming and I love it. I am going to be waiting in my room for season 6. I really want more series like this. This series is literally the American version of Yuru Camp. Keep on greenlighting wholesome cartoons like this, Cartoon Network!
