It was... surprisingly good. I was sucked in by the casual nature of the show. Short episodes that you didn’t really need to pay attention to with some super dry, dark undercurrents. As it progressed, however, they started to weave a complex cannon and mythos that was actually super interesting.
The darkness of the Great Mushroom War (nuclear apocalypse) mixed with the apparent cheerfulness of the series... good stuff. The whole Ice King/ Simon plot was... really sad and complicated and deep. The whole Lemon Hope plot also really got to me.
The latter seasons went for big story arcs and really made an strange episodic cartoon into something... more.
The final episode was extremely well done. They pretty neatly wrapped up everything that was going on at the time, plus gave some conclusion to almost every significant one-off character. Also yeah... the same-sex kiss was extremely well handled . I also didn’t see it coming but apparently I’m like... the only one.
Overall, even as an adult it was a really good series and I’m glad I watched it.

I’m torn — early shorts were great, “darker-and-edgier” progression worked . But near the end, I thought Finn fell further into the background in both strength and importance, and looooots of time spent on PB, Marci, Simon, Betty — even if you forget the finale entirely. It was played for laughs the BMO couldn’t remember Finn’s name in the future, but it was closer to the truth than intended.

Steven Universe is better. Theres not as much of it yet, but its deep as hell while also a good casual watch.

Gotta say the Lich arc was one of my favorites.

I can see that, now that you point it out. When you think about it Finn was never really a very deep character. After they resolved the arc with his parents... not sure they had anywhere to go. He was more an agent of change around which the story and characters could evolve but he was always just Finn. And that is OK, IMO .

Hmm... Ive been watching it tonight and it is... Interesting. Li ke Dora the Explorer meets Invader Zim. Excellent sound design. The voice acting is.... Not great, especially coming from Adventure Time. I think I'll stick with it.

It gets better and more involved as you go, with a noted bump in quality over the pilot.
