I've noticed both OTGW and IT have this overarching ominous spook to them. They remind me of each other in a lot of ways. Just out of curiosity, if you've seen both, which is your favorite?

My gut says "Infinity Train", although we haven't finished the season/series yet, so I guess time will tell. After these last 2 episodes, I really have just fallen in love with this show's emotional pull. 

But... it's been almost 2 years since my OTGW reaction series, so if I went back to rewatch it, maybe I would feel differently lol! It's so hard to compare the 2 beautiful works of art!

They are very very similar so this is a tough call! They both do such a good job of tone and mood through beautiful animation and soundtracks, although for me OTGW is just slightly better in that department. The emotional and character development in IT is much better however. But my vote goes to OTGW solely because of... *drumroll* The Beast. An excellently designed and fear inducing villain, he feels like the older brother of all nightmares. The almost jovial manner in which he devours the souls of children and manipulates people until the hope is sucked out of them is truly terrifying. I’m also just a total sucker for a good old fashion eldritch horror. I’m hoping IT will have a comparable villain, but the bots so far don’t compare to the subtle horror of The Beast.

I'm totally with you on all of this. The soundtrack to OTGW is absolutely phenomenal. Even Potatoes and Molasses is a BOP lol! But the emotional "pull- on- your- heartstrings" character development of Infinity Train is several steps above OTGW. If the two shows could have been combined somehow it would have been the PERFECT mini-series in my opinion! But I also feel lucky that we got both :D
