The show also came under fire for claiming to be the "first animated series with a transgender voice actor in a starring role." This claim was disputed by fans of series such as the anime adaptation of Pokemon, which featured the late Maddie Blaustein, a tranwoman, as the voice of the popular character Meowth. Promotional material was also heavily criticized for putting a heavy focus on the show's transgender character Shona, leading to accusations that the series wouldn't even be anything special had said character not been present at all. Criticisms of the show include aspects such as the animation and character designs, derided for looking like a "generic" flash animated cartoon done by people new to the medium.
