It feels like this episode was written for live action, but given the pandemic and the young age of some of the actors, animation was a good way to still put out the episode and keep the cast and crew safe. I enjoyed how Anna and Maya were animated to look how they felt about their appearances rather than how they actually looked, but outside of that the animation wasn't utilized for anything special. A missed opportunity. Overall watchable, relatively enjoyable, but hopefully not a theme for future episodes.

Watch even if you are thrown off by the animation

I put this on realizing I had missed a single episode of the series hike waiting for the next batch but I was immediately turned off by the animation which is clunky and slightly abstract, almost like a storyboard which essentially is what it is - a rough sketch of the episode with voiceovers. However it turns out to be a creative and appropriate way to tell the story which involves body image issues and typical Maya and Anna hijinks. I'd approach it as if you would one of those shows on MTV "Liquid Television" ...it's just as awkward as the real deal and is and is a good compromise during the wait for more live-action.
Not the best episode

I can see what they were trying to do here...I liked the creative aspect of showing their insecurities in a very real way but honestly the animation takes away the subtleties and facial reactions that really make the show hilarious and cringe. I just struggled to really get into it.
Why the Animation?
