Louder and prouder is probably the perfect sequel, It's honestly like the original never ended. Aside from the animation style of course. It keeps the wacky political story's of the original, diving into the into the modern political topics that have become more widely known since the original show.
The show, being so similar to the original, obviously has all the same great aspects of it. The story's are still really fun and wacky, and the characters are all still great. However The new characters I found to be less compelling and unfortunately, the show occasionally fumbles it's political messages.
The episode where the famous guy only dates white chicks is the only example worth noting as its a really weird one and the message is not clear at all. I believe the idea was that you shouldn't let petty arguments about a crush get between you and your friends, as thats what the B plot was all about and ultimately what penny says to bring the friend group back together. The problem is bringing race into the conversation muddled the waters and made the point very unclear. Ultimately I think it would have been best to leave that aspect out entirely.
However an occasionally bad episode doesn't really effect the series to much and it's definitely a show I recommend. I would say to original is just slightly better but that's very possibly just because of nostalgia.
Long story short, check it out.
