This is a lot of fun. Even though it doesn't have as much meta humor as Chowder it has a lot of the manic energy I love about that show. The idea of Yogi Bear as a doctor is just inherently funny to me.
One of the reasons I find Shadow Weaver so compelling of a character when all is said and done is that she's one of the few characters I've seen in any animation that legitimately switched sides to the good guys without actually improving as a person, though her actions after switching sides do...
More than anything I'm just hoping that they stick the landing because after the back to back successes of season 5 from A Single Pale Rose onward and The Movie, this needs to be good or it may actively detract from the show's legacy, and I want Steven Universe to be remembered as the Cartoon of...
It's better that a show like Bojack Horseman end on it's own terms rather than drag on forever. It's been an amazing ride, I look forward to seeing how it ends.
It does not end on a cliffhanger. While the ending was clearly meant to leave the door open for more stories, it fairly neatly wraps up most of the arc the season was built around.
Following right now:
She-Ra
Craig of the Creek
Mao Mao
Amphibia
Ducktales
Infinity Train
Twelve Forever (don't know if this will get more episodes)
BoJack Horseman
Castlevania
Interested in, but yet to premier:
Owl House
Masters of the Universe
Glitch Techs
Seems kind of odd that they get a famous creator to take the helm and get an A-List studio to do the animation, but keep the marque name out of the title. I know that the toys have always been branded under "Masters of the Universe", but I've always had the feeling that He-Man is the much...
I know it's not quite the same, but if you want something with a similar vibe check out Craig of the Creek, but that's definitely one of the things I'm hoping is on Disney Plus.
This was fantastic. If this is the end of Zim it's a high note, and I'd argue a high water mark for the series. If we get more, well we have proof that everyone involved still has it to make great Invader Zim.
I admit I haven't seen the last few season of Adventure Time, but Gravity Fall kept having those kinds of episodes even into it's penultimate episode which is quite bluntly about the need to accept change and not escape into fantasy.
And I know it's not an episodic vs serialized issue because...
I'll be honest, I can't actually think of an early 2010s show that didn't have a lesson of the day because most episodes of Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, and even Regular Show were like that. It's basically been the norm since the 1970s.
That's not a modern issue, cartoons without some Aesop of the day tend to be the exception rather than the rule. Even serialized works like Avatar or Beast Wars tend to have a large number of lesson of the day episodes.
Overall very good, but I think both of these episodes could have benefited from being 22 minutes instead of 11 both for more set-up and more denouement, mostly in the later case that we didn't get to see Tulip's reunion with either of her parents especially since WoG is that events on the train...
My guess is that were effectively going to get an anthology series with a rotating lead, some recurring characters (like Amelia, Mirror Tulip, and One-One), and a meta plot that reveals more about the train as time goes on.
I'd say that one of the show's real strengths is how real it's willing to get. Both in that there's not magic or super-science outside of endless island (lending something akin to magical realism), but that the problems dealt with are more mundane than fantastic. Reggie and her mom's inability...
It really helps that it feels like Amphibia seems much more sure of what kind of show it wants to be. While I love the first season Finale of Star vs. it's such a shift from most of the rest of the season it almost feels like a different show. The fact that the show is so willing to go for dark...
Either that or it's a Miniseries like Over the Garden Wall. That was marketed as a "Five Night Mystery Adventure" rather than explicitly as a miniseries. Though honestly the way it was structured Over the Garden Wall could have been a full series. I mean it's basically six plot critical episodes...
It's also quite likely that Netflix only put in an initial order of 13 episodes meaning that it will take time to restart production. Generally the whole it's been renewed before the first episode premiers is because stop and start production is more time intensive and expensive so it's better...
I know they'd never go for it, but I'd kind of like to see a series where mutants have been around for a while and won hard fought battles, real and legal, in the past, but tensions are rising again.
