Numberblocks

Numberblocks is a British children's CGI-animated TV series. It debuted on CBeebies on 23 January 2017. It is produced by Blue-Zoo Productions and Alphablocks, the studios that also produced Alphablocks. The show teaches children numeracy including simple arithmetic.

In 2017, the show was nominated for a BAFTA award in the "Learning" category.

Why It Can Be Counted On

 * 1) It is very educational, as it teaches kids math and basic arithmetic lessons.
 * 2) Most of the Numberblocks in the show are likeable.
 * 3) The character designs are cute, especially One's.
 * 4) Impressive and amazing 3D animation for its time, especially from Season 3 onwards.
 * 5) Very colorful and beautiful visuals.
 * 6) The show is funny, bright, and fun to watch.
 * 7) Hilarious jokes, especially coming from Three's juggling acts.
 * 8) The songs used in the series are catchy and helpful for developing children, like "Figure It Out", "Numberblocks Express" and "What's the Difference".
 * 9) The Season 6 finale More to Explore and the Season 8 finale "100 Ways to Leave the Planet" actually felt like one, unlike most educational cartoons.
 * 10) Pays homage to real-life media, such as Indiana Jones and Star Wars.
 * 11) Great and wonderful voice acting.
 * 12) The theme song is awesome and catchy.
 * 13) Several memorable lines, such as:
 * 14) "Octoblock, pose! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8! CHEEEEEEEEEEESE!!!!"
 * 15) "Like 97,104!"
 * 16) "My super-speedy, two four six eight NUUUH-- Impossible to count number of rays and away!"
 * 17) It would also inspire people to make their own Numberblock OCs, Numberblock fan shows (like NumberFanagram) and Numberblock humans, that is a similar way to how Battle for Dream Island inspires people to make their own object shows and object OCs.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The earlier episodes have a lot of visual errors.
 * 2) It may be trying way too hard to be hip and cool, such as in "Thirteen" where Thirteen says "Owo!"
 * 3) To add more salt on the wound, the aforementioned "Owo!" line mentioned by Thirteen might possibly be furry pandering.
 * 4) Some of the characters look too uncanny for a preschool show, especially Zero.
 * 5) The beginning was mediocre because of only one Numberblock.
 * 6) Three and Eighteen can be unlikable at times.
 * 7) Despite it being a niche audience show, there's some innuendos that are not appropriate for children:
 * 8) In "Blockzilla", when Three says "It wants to munch us, crunch us, and gobble us up!", it is a metaphor for vore.
 * 9) In "Land of the Giants", Forty looks like a middle finger when forming from Thirty and Ten.
 * 10) In "Thirteen", after Thirteen sings the lyrics "Jump through a hoop", you might think that he will intentionally say "And step in the poop", but he actually said "And step in the puddle".
 * 11) During some episodes with several parts containing three Sixes in a row, their Numberlings make the devil's number (666).
 * 12) Some of them, such as Thirty-Three and Thirty-Four, have yet to be figured out. Thankfully, people have been making up concepts for their designs.
 * 13) While the CGI animation is great, there are times where it can look lazy and weird in the earlier episodes, like this scene in "How to Count" for example.

Trivia

 * 1) The concept started in 2016, featuring only One and Two. The designs were changed in order not to give children potential nightmares.
