The entire main cast bar Kipo is African-American with Kipo being pink/purple (although technically she is mixed race since her father is African-American and the depiction of her mother is Caucasian). The younger character, Wolf, suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder which is shown later in the first season and another of the characters, Benson, came out as gay. I very much appreciated the direct way they revealed this, as most shows dance around the subject and never actually say anything that can be taken as canon, but Benson literally just said 'I'm gay' which is about as direct as one can get.
The art style of the show has a lovely sharp and colourful edge to it. Many cartoons have a rounder, chunky style (some call it the 'CalArts style') but this one has a unique look to it that make it more visually pleasing to watch. In addition the music is amazing. Lovely guitar songs with relaxing lyrics as well as very fast, upbeat music for fight or action scenes. I regularly listen to the music outside of watching the show.
