Lunar Sea Spire

GC13 and David discuss The Hardest Thing from Amphibia. Well, it’s official: the Core is awful. But then we all knew that, didn’t we? The Guardian isn’t all that great either, but we can’t forgive it for wanting a new job after tens of thousands of years (who hasn’t been there, really?). While we got a big anime fight as a treat for the eyes to start things off, the e...

GC13 and David discuss All In from Amphibia. Well, the invasion has finally come to Earth, and thankfully the castle is equipped with an everything-proof shield (with a big enough gap to allow some infiltrators in). And they didn’t even need to allow the team in if they wanted a duel, Andrias knows all you need to do is go out and ask for one! The military may not have come across great in t...

GC13 and David discuss The Three Armies and The Beginning of the End from Amphibia. Well, Anne may have experience working as a mediator, but unfortunately she just can’t fix hundreds of years of racism over a one-day teambuilding retreat. Well, she can, but she has to cheat to do it. King Andrias is, however, proving how cool he can be. Not a very good liar though, but the rebels probably h...

GC13 and David discuss Newts in Tights and Fight or Fight from Amphibia. Oh yeah, we got Tritonio back! He’s now a rebel, following on the rules of the street (at least until he’s reminded that he hates rules). And he’s good at strategies, don’t you worry! Plus, Domino 2 is back, and not only is she the mother of some adorable baby kill-a-pillars, she’s also the alpha...

GC13 and David discuss The Root of Evil and The Core and the King from Amphibia. Apothecary Gary, you’ve come back to us! And you are an awesome farmer! We’re glad that you’ve found people you can form a happy community with, and will be glad to see you back in the finale! But then there’s a history lesson about the fall of the Newt empire, how the loss of the music box mea...

GC13 and David discuss Mother of Olms and Grime’s Pupil from Amphibia. Well that wasn’t a very prophetic prophecy. Or maybe we were just already ahead of the curve. At least now we know Sasha will get her cool anime powers back though! And after a spectacular, if predictable, performance by Sprig, the toads are on the team. Best you believe they’ll be back in time for the finale...

GC13 and David discuss the pilot of Gameoverse. We love Glitch Techs too much to stay away from another cartoon with video gaming in its soul, but this one has a switch: if the hero wins their world is destroyed, so the good guys want to help each game world’s villain out! So join traumatized hero Kit, surly sidekick Kaboodle, and GC13’s favorite Gobbles in their missions on behalf of...

GC13 and David discuss Sasha’s Angels and Ulm Town Road from Amphibia. Two episode titles, two references—it was a good day. The spotlight gets to shine in new places, with Sasha’s eponymous Angels getting one episode and the Ulms in another, showcasing their beautiful (and stupid) home city. Unfortunately as beautiful as Proteus is, there might not have been enough episode to show it...

GC13 and David discuss Commander Anne and Sprivy from Amphibia. Now that we’re back in Amphibia, it’s time to get down to the hard work of overthrowing King Andrias—so who’s going to be the commander? (Sasha? Can Sasha please be the commander? Please?) Now if only Sprig and Ivy could avoid treacherizing their leader long enough to complete their mission we’d have smoother m...

GC13 and David discuss Escape to Amphibia from Amphibia (duh). Uh-oh, another two-parter where they skipped the intro? It’s time for the big deal stuff. Mr. X is in full antagonist mode (he’s still glorious though), and Anne is happily willing to show the FBI how they wage wars in the stars. Now they’re back in Amphibia, and the scenery is looking a lot less pretty than we rememb...

GC13 and David discuss Froggy Little Christmas from Amphibia. Well it’s here, the Rebecca Sugar song! Oh, yes, this was also a Christmas episode too, but we just can’t help ourselves. It definitely has meaning to us. So many wonderful presents! We got Rebecca Sugar, Anne’s mother got a float, and King Andrias even got a drone—he has such wonderful lackeys! Oh boy, here’s to...

GC13 and David discuss Hollywood Hop-Pop and If You Give a Frog a Cookie from Amphibia. Hop-Pop has a catchphrase now? Say WHAT?!? (Sorry, they wouldn’t do it in the episode.) Hop-Pop proves his credentials as an excellent actor, becoming an overnight sensation based off of a single audition. Thankfully he’s also a real good guy, so instead of capturing a frog Mr. X (probably) just get...

GC13 and David discuss Spider-Sprig and Olivia and Yunan from Amphibia. The episode was about Sprig’s adventure as Frog Man but was named Spider-Sprig for some reason, who can guess why? Well, it’s a fun superhero adventure, though Sprig missed his chance to be the Immortal Iron Tongue. Thank goodness Spider-Sprig brought the levity though, because Olivia and Yunan brings us to a dark,...

GC13 and David discuss Mr. X and Sprig’s Birthday from Amphibia. Well, we met Mr. X. He needs to be on Mysterious Mysteries of Strange Mystery, because this guy? Definitely crazy. But he loves his job, he’s definitely out there living his best life. And Sprig is eleven years old now, and Anne finally knows his birthday. Hopefully she won’t pull out all of the stops for his twelft...

GC13 and David discuss Fixing Frobo and Anne-sterminator from Amphibia. In one episode Polly fixes up one frog robot, and in the next the Boonchuy family breaks another. Thankfully the IT Gals weren’t around to see the killing of the Frobot, they might not be so happy to see an ensouled being meet such a fate. Andreas probably would have enjoyed watching it though. No Cathy Coven #2? Kaboom...

GC13 and David discuss Fight at the Museum and Temple Frogs from Amphibia. Sleep deprived and making very bad decisions in how to proceed with her research, Anne decides that the best thing to do when she finds a vase depicting the music box is break into the museum and steal it. Well, at least Dr. Jan is a new friend for the team! The Plantars are just likeable sorts, they fit right in to the com...

GC13 and David discuss Thai Feud and Adventures in Catsitting from Amphibia. You know, Ned would probably get along pretty well with Ronaldo. Maybe they already know each other, they definitely shop at the same store! Just… Someone try to get those brakes fixed, okay? That’s definitely unsafe. It’s just too bad that Domino wasn’t able to get her paws on Cousin Stanley. Ther...

GC13 and David discuss Hop ‘Til You Drop and Turning Point from Amphibia. We get to start off with a very funny episode in Hop ‘Til You Drop , with Anne sending the Plantars to the jungle the mall for a trial by fire, in the tradition of Earth teens. Things don’t go so well, but it’s a very funny disaster. Then we get Turning Point and Sasha cements her face turn. Now she a...

GC13 and David discuss The New Normal from Amphibia. So, Anne has spent two full seasons away from home, now she and the Plantars are on Earth and hanging out at the Boonchuy home. Unfortunately King Andreas is chilling out back on Amphibia with a portal that he can use to throw all of the terminators he wants at them. There’s no way they’re going to keep Cathy Coven out of his hands i...

GC13 and David discuss The Bear and the Rose from the second season of Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake. Now that’s how you tease a followup season. We have a whole new world presumably formed from several previously separate worlds, and it looks like Hunter and Fennel have joined the main cast. And Finn is even okay (thanks to Huntress Wizard and her mastery of green magic). Now he has an ax...

GC13 and David discuss The Worm and His Orchard from the second season of Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake. When you have a song by Rebecca Sugar you know you’re in for a good time. Cake certainly likes what she sees, and even Fionna finds herself with the pep talk she needs. And the gods? Well if they want the Cosmic Owl, they’re going to have to catch him first. Huntress Wizard though...

GC13 and David discuss The Insect That Sang from the second season of Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake. Well it finally happened, Fionna lived up to the destruction she was wreaking against her friends in her dream in the first episode of the season. This Fionna, this is what we didn’t want to see. Your friends were trying to get money, Fionna, money to fund their dreams because living dreams...

GC13 and David discuss The Wolves Who Wandered from the second season of Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake. If men are from Mars, then Fionna and Fennel need to travel to Venus to rescue the ultimate source of love: DJ Flame. But not really. Thanks for that, Huntress. The broken tool has sought the flame though. Unfortunately she seeks the flame a little too hard, to the point where she really hurts...

GC13 and David discuss The Bird in the Clock from the second season of Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake. Finn’s theater of the mind is a very grim place: there are lots of things that want to kill him, and they’re quite good at it! Far better than Fionna is at stopping them, anyway. But in the real world the quest to save the Sweet Spot continues! Ms. Abadeer is even willing to help (an...

GC13 and David discuss The Butterfly and the River from the second season of Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake. Fionna may not be doing too much on protagonist duty in this episode, but she’s a fantastic supporting character in the series B plot. And maybe if we kill the right butterflies we won’t have to worry about her being further demoted to villain’s henchman. Huntress Wizard...
