No one ever talks about how this show is a folk series on CN.
There are multiple versions of it.
>First half of Season 1 of Grim & Evil (2001): Art style is H-B/UPA-esque. Billy and Mandy seem younger, Billy is less stupid, Mandy is less evil. It's dark, a horror-comedy series. Guy Moon is the composer. The trio seem to be growing to like each other.
>Second half of Season 1 of Grim & Evil (2002): There is a slight art style change, though still cut from the same H-B/UPA cloth. The trio seem to mostly have a genuine friendship.
>First season as its own show in the USA and Season 2 of Grim & Evil in other countries (2003): Art style change again, but still H-B/UPA-esque. Billy, Mandy, and Grim are given redesigns, and Billy and Mandy seem somewhat older. Billy is somewhat dumber, and Mandy is somewhat tougher. Gregory Hinde and Drew Neumann are the composers. The show becomes somewhat darker, but at the same time... it still also feels like a normal kids' cartoon, just with a dark edge. Plots are simple. As before, the trio have a functional friendship.
>Season after that and first season fully as its own show around the world: The trio start to hate each other, and Billy and Mandy have been flanderized: Billy into a nose-picking, farting retard, and Mandy into a sociopath. The trio are constantly in conflict with each other. The H-B aesthetic remains.
>Season 4 onward: the show pretty much syops being horror and becomes purely a comedy, but doesn't lose black comedy. Lots of slapstick and gross-out humor, and the humor becomes REALLY surreal. And the art style for new characters takes a new direction, becoming crude and ugly, used in tandem with the H-B style. Also, supernatural stuff starts to come in almost every episode.
