Bleeding Cool: How does Exploding Kittens stand out in the wave of adult animation series?

Exploding Kittens is just as fun as Hit-Monkey. You can really let your hair down, whereas Hit-Monkey is gory and sarcastic. Exploding Kittens is wild and fun and you get totally into it. I’m so excited to see what people do with this show because I’m a huge fan of the game. I would play it religiously on my phone all the time. Being part of this universe is a dream: “My favorite game?! What’s going on?!” It’s so cool!
