Adventure Time Thread

[TV-kun]

Ok, just want to know, anyone else out there likes this show? I think its the best thing on air in Cartoon Network right now, although I am downloading the episodes.

To me Adventure time is in my top animations list ever, number 1 alongside Furi Kuri.

Besides animation that is very fluid and fun, what catches my attention is the phylosofy and story behind all episodes, no episode here is wasted, each one of then "tells" something, for bad or for good. (One of the episode's morals is: don't give food to jerks), I have never seen friendship so well represented, Finn acts like a real human boy would in a fantasy world, not your stereotypezed hero. (Not to mentions tons of RPG references, the creator HAS to be RPG player)

 If you like originality and crazy stuff, this is your show!

I watch the show and its pretty good as far as new age American animation goes. The competition its up against though really isn't much by comparison. Its not better than any of the Total Drama survival series and its only better than the Regular Show due to the fact the show itself has no real viewer content. Cartoon Network is transitioning to more reality based shows like Destroy Build Destroy, Tower Prep which is actually good, and Dude What Would Happen which is like Jackass for little kids with actual reasons for doing stupid shit. The animation lineups are also changing in part to two reasons 1) The current head of the network is not really into cartoons and that goes for anime even more so and 2) The viewer age has actually went up across the board so there is a push to gear more cartoon towards the aging viewers. You won't see very many shows that actually are geared towards children, but more for pre-teens and teens to young adults. Children's stuff is actually the reality stuff. Foster's is gone, Powerpuff Girls and many other more child oriented shows as well.

So having Adventure Time with Finn and Jake is pretty kid, the jokes are young adult level, but the overall point of the show is childlike so kids can watch it.

And this douche is the head of Cartoon Network?

It's really like my childhood is being torn apart before my very eyes these days.

Danm you Kulanator, you made me +1 you, I though I would never do that xD

Yeah... I understand why some people wouldnt like Adventure time or Flapjack, the cartoon itself creats a paradox: Adult jokes + Childish storyline. But it magically works somehow, some people is just way to serious.

As for me its is fine, as long as the cartoon is inteligent and don't think the kid is stupid, danm, Foster is awesome! I saw many episodes, and even though the last episodes weren't the same quality the show was still top notch.

Kula is Tower Prep some kind... of Lost/Gantz/Heroes for kids? Interesting, just hope it isn't way too cheesy (imagining Hanna Montanna acting with super powers)

Love it!

I hate flapjack, but I will save my rage on that show for later. As for Tower Prep its a like a live action X-men academy for tweens and teens. The show itself is a mystery series revolving around the school of Tower Prep which is a special school that tracks down and educates kids with special mutant abilities, but at the same time the school itself has a lot of history and that means a lot of things to be discovered by the main character Ian who is trying to find out exactly what Tower Prep's motive are. He has some friends and everyone has some sort of power. Ian has some sort of danger sense that alerts him right before it happens if the danger is near him, Tsuki can create perfect copies of just about anything and is pretty handy with technology, I dunno what the other girl does besides be the attractive popular girl, and Gabe has a power they call Hypersuasion which is basically a form of verbal mind control or Jedi Mind Trick just without the hand waving.

About the current head of cartoon network, he was the most qualified in the company to be placed in the job position after the sudden passing of the former head. So the position was thrust upon him with little choice.
