Star vs. is kinda reminding me of Invader Zim

[mochi]

just with a cutesy glittery Disney princess aesthetic rather than a bleak angsty emo teen aesthetic

 

they have a similar dark humor about them

Never really got that tone. If anything I think they are more opposite. Zim had a lot of focus on body horror and human ignorance. Star has some dark jokes, and humans who are more meh over someone having magic. I was actually releaved that they didn't try to go the route of keeping her magic a secret, and everyone playing events off as if there was a normal explanation, it was done to death in the 90s.

I got more of a Rocko vibe.  The mundane and the fantastic mixed together.
