The most recent episode of Ducktales finally reveals the fate of the triplet's mother, and other interesting answers. This season has had a lot of good episodes, full of cameos and subtle references and hidden secrets; but I think this episode is my favorite so far.

Milo Murphy's Law season 2 premiere is finally here, wrapping up the cliffhanger from the first season. I wasn't particularly enthusiastic about the postulation that Milo and Phineas/Ferb are opposites, but otherwise is was a reasonably satisfying crossover and conclusion to the story arc. Sadly, I'm hearing that the rest of Season 2 will not come until next year.

Disenchantment is here. The latest series from creator of Simpsons and Futurama, Disenchantment is a medieval fantasy romp starring Princess Tiabeanie, her friend Elfo and a demon named Luci.

I just finished watching the first season, and it's mostly weak jokes and uninteresting filler stories, but with good music and a charming art style. A solid finale offers some redemption however, and barely makes the series recommendable.
Bean is basically a mashup of Leela and Amy, who sometimes acts as the responsible and competent one, and sometimes is just a reckless party girl. Elfo is Fry, the cheerful idiot with a hopeless crush on Bean. And Luci is Bender, the soulless anarchist who gives the plot an extra poke when things start to get boring. So fans of Futurama should feel right at home.

I dun know. I found it enjoyable. They play with Elfo attraction to Beanie nicely. With the News Guy or Scribe doing a job, 'And so commences, the 'will they or wont they'. I do think a lot of the one off jokes to be hit or miss. I think its not as strong, as Futurama was, is that it doesnt have the same relationship with the genre. This isnt having as nearly as much fun with Fantasy genre, as Futurama had with the Sci Fi genre.
This feels a lot more like Matt Grienging, but its Fantasy instead of a contemporary setting. I do see some David Cohen in there still. My favorite joke, was near the end of the season, and they are at the hidden elf village. And a party was trying to capture elves for their magic blood. They couldnt make the village vanish because their front gate was broken. And they remarked that they couldnt make the village disappear with the gate down, as that break the laws of physics. That was a good gag.
Overall, I had a good time with it. It ended strong. I wish they had given more for the dad to do, especially in relation to the end.

Did you catch the Futurama cameo in the last episode? It was roughly 21 minutes in, and only lasted for an instant.

I did not.

I just finished the first season of Animals.
It's a series of mostly unrelated short stories about talking animals. The stories range from light humor to deeply moving, and go everywhere in between. Some stories are much better than others, but most are at least somewhat interesting. The style is dank, and the animation is basically slideshow quality, but really it's all about the dialogue. This show won't be for everyone, but I'm certainly enjoying it.

Oh, Yea, I watched a bit ago. I didnt know it had more seasons. In the first season, it tells a continious story involving the mayor. A sorta passive story introduction. Like in the second? pigeon episode where Phil thinks hes a mom. The white man white ball, was shot by the Mayor. Yea. I was enjoyable, and sometime grating. Not grating, kinda intense. The flies stories really stuck with me. I loved how they used the wrist watch to show how time was progressing in reality relative to the flies.

On the crystal ball thing?

Disenchantment was kinda disappointing though I guess I was expecting too much considering it's from Simpsons/Futurama creators. Good enough to put on in the background I guess, though it seemed like nothing interesting happened until the last few episodes.

Paradise PD came out on Netflix recently.

This is an unabashed clone of Brickleberry. The characters look slightly different, and are in a different setting, but have the exact same personalities and voice actors. The general mood of the show is also exactly the same.

The show has received more than a little bit of criticism for it's often excessively crude humor, and lack of originality. I'm only a couple of episodes in, but from what I've seen so far, these criticisms are entirely fair.  However, I was able to accept these elements and enjoy Brickleberry for what it was, and I expect this will be no different.

RIP Adventure Time, 2010--Right Now.

Pretty good, interesting, sad, happy, bittersweet end to the show.

I've been shipping Marceline and Bonnibel since 'Sky Witch'. So glad they finally got together at The End. Sweet vindication~

[Xantalos]

Man, that ending. I kinda knew it was going to be that kind of open-ended conclusion where the world just kinda goes on, but damn if it doesn’t get me right in the weird yearning every time a thing like it is successfully pulled off.

[Enemy post]

Took me a couple days to get an opportunity to watch the ending. The final two and a half minutes were exactly what I was hoping for.

Come along with me... *not sobbing*

*totally not, swear*

*dammit fuck you, you're crying I'm not crying*

Still haven't seen the end of AT, since I've been trying to watch through the last season with family.

I liked Disenchantment. I wouldn't compare Bean with a futurama character though: the comparison that sprang foremost to my mind was Katia from Prequel. Not as good as Futurama but there was at least one moment each episode that made me laugh pretty hard.

So, new season of Bojack Horseman dropping any day now! Any predictions?
