I don’t know if this is a hot take but I always prefer the TV version of Happy Tree Friends over its web show counterpart, simply because it is a better version of HTF. Whether if you like the show or not, you can tell the transition from web show to TV show was a huge upgrade for the franchise. Episodes became longer, the animation and art style became more smooth and the deaths became more graphic. It’s also home to some of my favorite episodes like Mime to five, Who’s to Flame, A to Zoo, Dunces Upon a Time and others. My only issue to the TV show is I wish got another season or two. That’s not to say the post and pre TV eras are bad, Buns of Steal and See you later elevator are pretty good while Class Act and Happy Trails are some of the better early HTF episodes.
