Infinity Train: Book Two (DVD)

Recomendable

Now that HBO has removed this title, the only way to watch it is to own it! Now that I do, I am so glad! My only wish is that the other seasons were available on dvd.

Centralizing my thoughts on Infinity Train to specifically Book Two would do it a massive disservice. Everything about this show works so perfectly and its cancellation just further proves how little the industry cares for quality product. It's not hyperbole when I say that this was a masterpiece in the making, and if it were truly finished, it would've gone down as one of the best animated works of the 21st century, and possibly even one of the best TV shows in general. The characters are all so distinct and relatable, the endless train allows each episode to have its own flair of creativity with no limitations, and the anthology format allows for each story to have its own beginning, middle, and end in the span of 10-episodes, with little to no filler. The lore of the series is dense, but the characters remain the focus, driving the plot and asserting themselves in the story with an iron fist. With both a mix of family-friendly humor and dark themes and subject matter, the show is a treat for all ages, but teens and young adults may be the ones to get the most mileage out of it. Infinity Train fundamentally changed how I view animated media, and if it doesn't get renewed, I doubt we'll ever see something like it again for a very long time.

Despite ostensibly being a show aimed at children, the first three seasons of Infinity Train are impressive meditations on core elements of the human condition, and are great for people of any age.This second season centers on MT (Mirror Tulip) and her painful journey of self-emancipation. It digs down deep on subjects of personhood, identity, and free will. MT begins the series as prisoner of a mirrored universe reflecting our own "prime" world - her existence is contingent, defined entirely by another. By her own perseverance and by the love of friends who value her and support her on the journey, she discovers a way to escape her past (and the enemies who would re-imprison her in it) and to break through impossible barriers to find lasting freedom and her true self.An incredible story, well told, highly recommended.

Great show and good quality dvds. I could only find seasons 1 and 2 available on Amazon, but the cover quality was really great. It's a basic dvd, not much more to say about that. This show aired on Cartoon Network and was surprisingly very deep and really good. It sucked us in and would sometimes make me cry. I highly recommend this show!

Find seasons 3 and 4, if you can.

I haven't tried playing it yet. The only blemish on the DVD is around the middle, shown in the close up. The rest looks clean. Will update once I see if it plays.

Infinity Train is such a good show. It's a shame that it has gone a bit unnoticed by people due to the fact that it became an online-only series after a bit. That said, it is worth the watch! And the music is so well done too!
