Monkey Magic · review
Wow. This might have been the greatest anime I have ever seen. I liked the part with the monkeys that were doing magic, and then when the monkey squad came in it got even better. BabyTron’s spitfire punchlines showcase his wit, his apathetic delivery highlights his ability to pierce through even the most suffocating of beats, and his matchless voice magnifies his recognizability on the mic. When you hear that drawl, you know it’s BabyTron. With bars ranging from shouts to Mario characters (“Amiri sneaks with the skeleton, I look like Dry Bones”) to the litter of Harry Potter drops in “Half-Blood Prince” (my favoritebeing “Riding ’round with a Draco, Malfoy”), BabyTron reps his generation and the culture of us who only know the 21st century.
