1.) RIP Jack's beard.

Spoiler: "SamJ" (click to show/hide)

2.) I would be angry about Jashi, but honestly, it was very emotionally satisfying.

3.) Watched one episode of Adventure Time and thought, "wtf?"

[WillowLuman]

Wait were those in response to me?

Binging at least three seasons of AT is equivalent to a dose of LSD. Binging five and more - to an LSD overdose.

LSP overdose.

DANG IT JACK you don't suck out poison EVER!

Thankfully it seemed to be a... exterior poison?

[Max™]

I think it was a love potion?

Adventure Time
I'm surprised it took me until this most recent episode to realize, Jake's origins totally explain his ability to link dreams with people, and why he's always so obsessed with going out and exploring the universe and other planes of reality.

So Scaramouch is back and trying to convey the message to Aku that samurai lost his sword.
20 dickbuttbucks says either Aku will know that all along or samurai will find the sword before the message is delivered.

Called it.

Also, way to set up a finale, Genndy.

[Max™]

...well fuck.

[Neonivek]

Well they really pulled it off since it seemed like they were doing everything in their power to make the audience hate Ashi... like intensely...

[Max™]

Thought they were trying to make us care about her as a character to make what they just did more poignant?

Yeah, that is definitely what they were attempting. They just did it in about the worst way possible, poorly executed romance will come off as forced importance to many audiences.

In my opinion the romance aspect itself wasn't that bad for a budding relationship. The whole "Charmingly Befuddled / Gradeschool romance" phase went on waaay too long and got far too much screen time, but I watch anime so I am used to it (Though seriously, I don't need to spend a few minutes on them discussing clothes.). The biggest issue miiight be that they force the level of the relationship.

The relationship shown is like a 1/5, maybe 2/5... It is being treated like a 4/5 maybe 5/5.

I think they wanted a lot more time on this season then they got. It honestly feels like there was supposed to be 1 or 2 more episodes intended.

Edit: DO NOT get me wrong. You can do a quick romance. What they were doing was not a quick romance, at least to me, and needed more time to develop.

And this isn't even getting into the fact that this season is... So far... About Ashi.

At least she feels like the main character, she is the one who had to grow and had to actually go down a road of recovery. Jack did too but it took a single bit of meditation.

Mind you these aren't criticisms these are just observations that makes Ashi a particularly good target for a hatedom. New annoying character swings down, hogs all the screen time, and then becomes the One True Love of our protagonist in spite of their tepid relationship and long line of pairings?

Things to be raw about:

• Beard
• Scotsman
• Scotsman's Sword
• Guardian
• Beard

Things that seem like nitpicking to be raw over:

• Jack and Ashi not having a chance to date properly

Her ending up like this is an interesting twist since the last time Jack had a warrior woman companion she turned out to be Aku, so the whole thing was just a big troll for Aku. Here we have a very similar situation except Aku looks like even more of a dick since Ashi wasn't in on the joke.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

A somewhat underwhelming finale upon first viewing. :/

[Sergarr]

Ashi had a surprisingly quick grasp on using Aku's most ultimate power for someone who's just realized that they can do that.
