Jem

"Okay, it is a bit much, but it can be fun. I will admit, the only reason I managed to get past the first few episodes was because they continuously ended on cliffhangers. Which did in fact anger me, stopping me from continuing it but I eventually powered through, & had to know what would happen next. The songs are catchy for sure but even after rewatching it twice I still can't get myself to download a single one. They're good enough for their time & a kids show, but nothing that's gonna be outstanding to always listen to. Disclaimer: I watched the movie before this. Saw it as a kid, but remembered nothing. The two are very different & I see why so many were angry with the changes. They are a bit jarring. Yet I still think for each version the changes work. Theres way more action in the show that way you stay invested. The movie plays up the origin of the band and this one is more of their adventures as a hologram band. This is more magical, action packed, & showboaty(not in a bad way but it has flair) while the movie is more realistic, heartfelt, & emotional. This Jerrica can be really separated from her Jem half the time too, especially after early episodes. Which led to some confusion. Legit I would forget they're supposed to be the same person a lot. It helped for the final season when the Gold ones joined since I prefer Jem with him rather than Rio. But that's also due to the fact Rio is thrown in as a love interest instead of grown like in the movie. Now for the story. It truly is captivating & unique. Honestly, I was impressed. Jerrica is a fortune 500 company owners Saint of a daughter, but she's somewhat compelling. Even if I prefer Jem. Granted, I wonder how they continously end up in need of money. A foster home does get grants and funding after all. I also see why so many hold it dear to their hearts since it was very inclusive as well as accepting. I truly love some episodes which don't progress the real story but are fun. The president one is my fave."

"I was introduced to this show by my older cousin and been so obsessed!! It’s such a great 80s animation series. "

"I remember watching this show when i was younger (not that long ago) And it’s just full of nostalgia and definitely has a special place in my heart. I was always jealous of the fashion and the opening theme is so catchy :)"

"80s nostalgia and fashion, each episode features an "Animated Music Video". "

"i grew up watching this because my mom older and i love it so much ❤️"
