Analysis
Made to be a brief example of what the show would be about, this episode, with its black and white animation and crude drawings, has an unfinished feel to it. However, through this episode each of the characters and the locations used in the subsequent episodes were developed and would evolve from their rough drawings in this episode to the characters presented in "Esteemsters" and "The Invitation".
