Day 1 of Ranking a BFDI Episode Every Day Until Silksong Comes Out!
How this series will work: Each day between 5-7 pm EST, I will share my thoughts on BFDI episodes, from 1a/b all the way to the newest episode of BFDIA! At the end, I will rank them from F to SS tier in quality based on a mix of my personal views and objective reasoning. This will continue until Hollow Knight: Silksong releases. I'm pretty confident it will come out this year, but there's always something that could delay it!
BFDI 1a/b Thoughts: Episode one is a classic—truly a relic of the early 2010s. It was many people's introduction to the series, whether they stayed for it or not. It has some pretty choppy animation, voice acting, and direction, but that's to be expected from a couple of kids just wanting to make their own Total Drama Island.
However, there are a few things I've always wanted to comment on. The drama between Needle and Snowball feels forced, and it mostly serves to explain why Snowball is so angry all the time. Additionally, the constant zooming in on mouths to create tense moments gets old quickly. I understand what they were going for, and it's clear they've improved a lot since then, but it's still worth mentioning.
Overall, I'd give this episode an A-tier rating. It's the first episode and introduces the viewer to all the characters we need to know. The announcer's sudden appearance is something I actually like, as it gives the show a distinctive 2010s personality. It would be higher, but there’s just too much they were trying to achieve at this stage.
