  The first look for The Boys - Diabolical has been released and it looks like it could be funny. Seemingly made in a style akin to an old Loony Tunes cartoon but upping the anti on the violence. I’m not sure if we’ll see any characters from the tv show or whether this is an introduction to new characters.

  Hopefully, they properly lean into the adult side of things. The more blood and gore, the better.

  I love The Boys TV show and comic, so I can't wait to watch this. The animation style is perfect for going ultra violent, because casual viewers that might channel surf will think it's a classic Warner Brother or Hanna Barbara cartoon, right up until something super gory or extremely sexual happens. Little Tarquin and little Tabitha's parents are going to keep them far away from this, or they'll be mentally scarred for life LOL.

  I thought it'd have one singular animation style for the series, or they might even change it each episode, because it's an anthology written by various people. But the approach of having varying styles within one episode looks interesting. The cast they've assembled to do the voices is incredible. I haven't finished reading all the comics, so I didn't recognise all the characters in the trailer.

  Episode one
  It's classic Hanna-Barbara style with no dialogue and just a score was really cool. The over the top violence was worked really well, given that is was set in the Boys universe, and that classic cartoons were violently comical too.

  Episode two
  The plot being centred around a group of teenage supes with useless powers was funny. They then find out that their parents injected them with Compound V, so they then go on a roaring rampage of revenge. The animation style is reminiscent of Rick and Morty.

  Episode three
  This episode was written by the creator of the comics Garth Ennis, and is the first one in this anthology that features characters from the TV show. The story revolves around Billy and Hughie. Hughie is voiced by Simon Pegg and drawn to look like him too, due to the comic book version being based on him. Billy plans to blackmail the dealer that all the supes buy their drugs from, and it leads to one of them overdosing during a public event with horrendous consequences. This is my favourite style of animation that they've used so far, it looks like a DC animated film.

  Episode four
  This is a great episode. Vought have designed a cream that changes a person's physical appearance into what they wished they looked like. So we follow the story of Boyd, who's an ordinary bloke, that uses it because he wants to date his neighbour. I recognised Kumail Najiani's voice immediately. This story is a bit of a psychological thriller, but still with the classic Boys satirical edge.

  Episode five
  The animation style in this episode is very anime, like Pokemon-ish. A girl accidently buys compound V and ends up with the worst powers ever, but she makes the best of a bad situation. Awkwafina's voice as the lead character is easily recognisable. The Deep makes an appearance in this episode.
