Well first off...Think MTV's old show downtown (which was also great) meets "The Matrix". This is based on the little known comic of the same name and it does something cartoons haven't made a casual viewer do since the late 80's..Think! I would say that this show definitely isn't built for the kiddies because the plot may or may not go over their heads and some might not even grasp it exactly. You really have to see everything in this as well. If you miss a couple of seconds, you just might be lost throughout the whole story and/or episode. But the bottom line is that the style and writing is great, the animation is definitely different and fluid (also looks like Aeon Flux as well), and it's an overall CHANGE from the anime, blocky faced, toilet humor characters that you normally see these days. Very refreshing.

Delta State has all the makings of a cult classic. Visually, Delta State has no peers on television. The animators make clever use of computer-aided rotoscoping, creating characters and backgrounds that have both a fluid, analog feel, and the punctuation of modern effects. Unusual camera angles retain Delta State's comic-book roots, and add an almost cinematic feel to the show. Thematically, Delta State mixes the melodrama of it's 20-something protagonists with lurking psycho-mystical threats that are well suited to the unique animation. Although some early episodes threatened to repeat the same plot every week, the show quickly revealed an escalating enemy plan and relationships between the protagonists that will require many episodes to explore. And even at it's worst, the 'heroes settle their interpersonal crises when their paranormal powers are called upon' stock episodes are still very watchable thanks to the snappy dialog, good voice acting, and of course, sheer visual novelty.

"Delta State" was a very interesting animated series. The animation remind me somewhat "Waking Life" though the character designs were quite different. I guess that the animation style wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but I found it to be very attractive. Also, the plot and the characters were very interesting. The combination of mystery and science fiction was incredibly goo, reminding me other excellent shows as "Broken Saints" "Aeon Flux" and "The Maxx". If you think that all the Canadian animation are boring and disgusting comedies as "Total Drama Island", "Delta State" will proof you that is not true.

9/10

Delta State is one of my favorite cartoons ever. While actors played the scenes, rendering it as cartoon-like animations made it possible to add many effects that would have been impossible (or too costly) to create in a real TV-show.

Although the storyline is deep, it is good, and easy to understand. You get the perfect blend of suspense, paranormal and logic.

I suggest anyone interested in watching The Delta State to start from the first episode or nothing will make sense. First time I watched episode 13 and although it was still interesting I wasn't as much in the storyline as when I watched it from the beginning.

There are 26 episodes so it isn't hard to catch up. Although you may think 26 episodes is short let me tell you that, as I said previously, the storyline is deep and very well done.

I watched this show on teletoon for the first time a couple of nights ago, because there was very little to do otherwise. I immediately regretted it, the animation was the worst that I have ever seen, the characters looked like their noses had been cut off, and that one guy with the green and yellow striped shirt... that hurt my eyes, the lines never moved along with the shirt, so it looked like the lines were shifting around constantly. The story made absolutely no sense at all, 4 kids have sleeping problems, so all of a sudden they can travel through space and time, and change peoples lives from "drifters" that possess their bodies. Don't get me wrong, I like fantasy, but this is one hell of a stretch even for me. There is no way this show should ever have been aired.
