Why It Rocks

 * 1) Spectular animation
 * 1) Spectular animation

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Some of the shorts can way too graphic for a PG-13 rated, to make matters worse, The Second Renaissance Part I and Part II has some scenes that were far too graphic, which it would've got an R-rated animated film. Thankfully, Adult Swim did at least remove nudity and gory violence to make it a lot less violent.
