Really liked the quirkiness and haunting quality of the music. There have been plenty of catchy theme tunes/songs in Cartoon Network history, and 'The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy' doesn't disappoint there accompanying the very clever titles sequence. A great job is done immersing one into the world. 'Cow and Chicken', 'I Am Weasel') but with a strong emphasis on darker colours and shades and suitably macabre, Gothic touches not seen before to this extent on Cartoon Network. The animation is great, and reminded me of the visual styles of many other Cartoon Network shows airing at the same time in character designs (i.e. It is hard knowing where to begin with the praise when everything is so great. For me, it was one of the last truly great Cartoon Network, which just isn't the same now, shows. Despite ending sixteen years ago, 'The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy' still is wonderful and has held up incredibly well. As a child, it was still absolutely great, especially for the characters and writing. The idea of the show was very interesting, though was worried as to how mixing funny and dark themes would work and end up being in good taste. While not as big a childhood favourite as the aforementioned shows, 'The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy' still stood out. Those days were long gone after they gradually aired less frequently and then stopped being aired, and when scheduling was in recent years dominated by abominations like 'Johnny Test', 'Uncle Grandpa' and the reboots.
With so much pleasure gotten out of watching gems such as 'Dexter's Laboratory', 'Courage the Cowardly Dog', 'Ed, Edd and Eddy', 'The Powerpuff Girls' as well as the Scooby Doo franchise until it aired instead on Boomerang.
This reviewer remembers very fondly the times where Cartoon Network was one of her most watched channels as a child, along with Boomerang, like it was only yesterday.
