Сериал выполнен в интересной анимации, создающей впечатление скупости и безразличности, различной для разных сцен и персонажей без политкорректности и деликатности, с элементами острой сатиры. При этом особенностью анимации является то, что её стиль меняется с каждой сценкой сериала, создавая впечатление, что каждый эпизод рисовали различные в своих предпочтениях мультипликаторы.
