      Fin D The animation may be bad and needs work. But the story's good and it starts to grow on you Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review JonNookI A fantastic season of one of my favorite animated series of all time, Trollhunters can be funny, emotional, and has plenty of great characters, heroes and villains alike. I just don't understand why this wasn't counted as two seasons, considering episodes 1-13 is one complete story, and episodes 14-26 is also one complete story, feeling more like a sequel to the first 13 episodes than continuation of the same plot threads, as they are two completely separate arcs. Anton Yelchin really is the voice of Jim and the heart of this show, and it's very tragic that he passed away so soon. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/24 Full Review Raven M Very good cast and excellent story telling that you can get lost in . You can contact with all the characters in some way. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/13/23 Full Review Francisco J Entretenida, original, con unos personajes que cautivan, tanto los malos como los buenos, Deja con ganas de mas Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/16/23 Full Review Cody V This is so bad and i hate it Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/12/23 Full Review Breakfast with Maths & M Troll hunters is my all time favourite storyline in any fiction and up to now, my favourite adaptation of the tale, I read the book and that's good but nothing like the Netflix show and I hope they do a live action adaptation of Trollhunters Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Ben Travers indieWire While a simple story drives things along, the impressive visual flair del Toro brings prove compelling for fans of the creator, animation enthusiasts, and, of course, those valued kid viewers. Dec 27, 2016 Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times They have made their series with brio and wit, as much majesty as the budget will allow, and enough suspense and mystery to make one invest in subsequent episodes as they arrive. Dec 27, 2016 Full Review Mike Hale New York Times The cleverest thing about Trollhunters might be that the fate of the world is in the finicky hands of Frasier Crane. Dec 22, 2016 Full Review Ankita Chawla Scroll.in It is an epic adventure that features ghosts, trolls, swords, goblins, gnomes - and it is really very good. May 31, 2017 Full Review Steve Wright SciFiNow It stands as testament that even at 26 episodes long, Trollhunters never feels like it's overstaying its welcome. With a second season likely, we couldn't be more excited at the prospect. Rated: 4/5 Jan 3, 2017 Full Review Rob Thomas Capital Times (Madison, WI) The show is full of humor and action, and has a cheerful spirit that rarely lets up.
