Happy!

Happy! is a unique blend of dark comedy, gritty action, and crime thriller. Audience emotional responses are heavily driven by the show's surreal and violent humor, stemming from the juxtaposition of a cynical hitman and a relentlessly optimistic imaginary flying horse. This creates a high degree of Humor and Excitement during its chaotic action sequences. The underlying crime plot involving a child in danger generates significant Anxiety and Anticipation, while the show's often grotesque and brutal elements evoke a strong sense of being Disturbing. Despite the dark themes, moments of Joy and Happiness arise from the sheer absurdity and the bond between the main characters, punctuated by frequent Surprise due to its unpredictable nature.
