I’m glad this show offered something different. While painful, Izel had to realize he couldn’t save certain people if he needed to save the world.Ĭertain heroic narratives weighing the lives of a few against all of humanity and making things worse doesn’t make sense to me. I liked how Onyx Equinox showcased how high the stakes were during the battle between humans and the underworld. Yes, we would like our heroes to save everyone. Another thing I enjoyed about this show is how it made our heroes make tough decisions. Even Izel’s weapon activates after getting a blood offering. So, keep that in mind if you decide to watch it. There’s a lot of gore and violence in Onyx Equinox. They can’t directly interfere, but we all know such powerful beings have their ways of making things play out the way they want, humanity be damned. While Izel and his crew are trying to close the gates, the Gods have their own plans. Everyone trying to tolerate one another felt more real compared to how certain quest-centric stories are known to make strangers become fast friends as soon as they meet on the road. These young people have been forced into a high-stress situation and they don’t know each other. I liked how everyone argued with each other. Basically, everyone has issues that lead to a lot of tension while trying to operate as a team. Izel’s team includes a grumpy guardian Yaotal (Alejandro Vargas-Lugo), the twins Yun (Patrick Pedraza) and K’in (Juan Arturo Maldonado) who find themselves in possession of a magical ball, the ferocious Zyanya (Carolina Ravassa) who wants Izel’s help to protect her city, and Xanastaku (Kimberly Woods), a healer who harbors a dark secret. Of course, as expected of such shows, Izel meets a bunch of young people that join him in his race against time. The 12 episodes follow Izel being forced into a quest he didn’t want while still grieving the death of his older sister. Caught in a bet made between the two Gods Quetzalcoatl (Zeus Mendoza) and Tezcatlipoca (Arin Hanson), Izel’s tasked with a quest to close the five gates to the underworld before time runs out. The incident, piling on Izel’s already tough life, makes him lose interest in humanity. I need to know what will happen to Izel and his crew as they try to survive the shenanigans of the Gods.Ĭreated by Sofia Alexander, the premise deals with the young Aztec boy Izel (Olivia Brown), whose entire life changes when his older sister decides to take his place as a sacrifice to the Gods. I have my fingers crossed it gets renewed for a second offering. So, it was time for me to binge-watch and I ended up enjoying the entire fast-paced season. However, Crunchyroll released the remaining 7 episodes on December 26, 2020, instead of making fans wait until February of 2021 to enjoy the entire story when following the weekly release model.

While I had this series on my “to watch” list, I decided to wait until all of the episodes were available so I could binge them. I’m all for more diversity in animated content. I appreciated the streaming service giving a platform to a Mexican-American show. I recently talked about Onyx Equinox debuting on Crunchyroll on November 21, 2020. This review of Onyx Equinox Season 1 contains minor spoilers. There’s gore, violence, queers, and tough decisions. It gave me the type of mythological quest I’m interested in. Of course, the gang decides to make the girl's wish come true, and her brother nearly catches the Crystal Onyx before deciding it'd be best to leave the creature home.Onyx Equinox (Image: PR) With all 12 episodes in Onyx Equinox season 1 currently available to stream on Crunchyroll, I decided to binge-watch the latest Mexican-American animated series. A young girl named Marissa says she wants her brother to see the Pokemon for himself as it would inspire his art.
Lava's Lost Pokemon January 30, 2020Īs the story goes, Ash and his friends stumbled upon the Crystal Onyx after they found a note in the ocean detailing the monster. Crystal Onix remains confined to episode 87. Fans have long begged for him to appear in a game, or at least for Shiny Onix to be changed from yellow to blue. This special material gives Onyx a whole new slew of stats, making it resistant to Water attacks but vulnerable to Fire.Ĭrystal Onix made his one and only appearance in a 1999 anime episode. The pocket monster is the only one to appear on Pokemon, and the Onyx has a body made out of crystalline glass. The Crystal Onyx is more rare than any Shiny could be, and that is because there is only one.
