While we wait for my worst to best, I finished rewatching season 1. I used to find it closer to a meh season that didn't have too many perfect episodes. Did my opinion stay the same or is it as good as the other pre-movie seasons? Let's find out. My rating scale can be found on my userpage.

|-|Review=

Honestly, after rewatching, I really underrated this season. There are lots and lots of episodes that are among the best of the show, and almost every episode made me laugh. The animation was pretty good too, I like the cel style. This season’s plots were nice too, I like the simplicity of a lot of them.

My mean and median ratings were Supreme (16/19) and Astounding (18/19) respectively. A good choice would be to make the rating in between, as Stupendous (17/19), but that would make the season better than season 2, a season I love a lot and is easily the best of pre-movie. However, this season is spectacular, so I'll still give it the mean rating of Supreme (16/19). This is subject to change as I rewatch episodes.

Also, if you're still reading this, you can see about 30 individual reviews of season 1 episodes by clicking here. I was reviewing the episodes as I rewatched the season but since I eventually just wanted to finish the season already I stopped working on it. Yeah, uhh...bye.
