  • Amazing, Original, groundbreaking

    I absolutely love Adventure Time. I know a lot of people who hate it and make fun of me because of my soft spot for it, but most people are usually too thinly imaginative to understand the meaning of the show. The animation is very creative, and while I guess you could say it falls short just a little at times, I never notice it and the animators have real talent. You have to really be invested in the show to like it and get it. Some people hate the characters because they are this is a good thing. Adventure Time has a flawless story line every episode, and is so original, nothing can come close to it. Some of the adult themes in the show however, are kind of like drawbacks for the children demographics, since most of them just wont get it, but the show makes up for this with its vivid world and enrapturing story.moreless

    As an animator and a fan of rpgs, everyone I knew told me this was the show for me.



    Well, you know what? I like corn, and I like peanuts, but just because both of them are present in that pile of brown stuff, it doesn't mean it's not shit.



    The art and animation appear lazy and amateurish. That's not necessarily a deal breaker, since good writing, great humor, and sympathetic characters can more than make up for this (Dick Figures). But Adventure Time has none of these. So, strike one on the supposed "animation" appeal.



    I also don't understand the setting at all. This is from an avid gamer who has played every Zelda and Blizzard game between 1989-2010, with an occasional Final Fantasy thrown in there to boot. I get that it's supposed to be some kind of fantasy/adventure/rpg game world, but if that's the case, why is he wearing street clothes? And don't get me started on the fucking bunny ears. Where's the gear? Where's the upgrades? If there won't be any of these, then at least make him look like he's part of that world. And if he isn't, the bunny ears?? Look, there's an Ice King, a Lich King, a Fire Princess, a Princess Princess, I'm with ya! But Finn, and his uber-fanboy-sex-fantasy-female counterpart, just look so out of place, it's a non-trivial distraction in every scene they're in, and they're in 90% of them. That's strike 2 for shitting on my rpg nostalgia.



    On the other hand, I've never gotten stoned out of my freakin' skull before watching it, so if that's what it takes to make this show enjoyable, then I have some sad news: Being stoned out of your skull makes pretty much ANYTHING enjoyable. So if this is the case, then it ain't the show that deserves your high rating, people. For the rest of us, alarmed at the degeneration of animated TV into various incarnations of this level of stupid writing and lazy art (China, IL, Superjail) it's just bullshit. And Strike 3.moreless

    A lot of my friends watch this show and we're in high school. Since it got a lot of attention and praise, I wanted to see what all the hoopla was about. I watched a couple of episodes; Adventure Time consists of the most random episodes, great characters, and laughable jokes. Not the best show, but it's pretty consistent.

    I've seen four or five episodes and think it is literally the worst show on television... The animation is terrible, the characters don't make sense, and its not even close to funny...
  • Algebriac!

    9.0
    One of the funniest shows I've seen of all time. You get a gold star, Pendleton Ward.
  • AND THE WINNERS MIGHT BE...

    The Americans and Breaking Bad Lead the TCA Awards Nominations

    FX leads the pack with seven nominations; Orphan Black, Louie, Game of Thrones feel the love, too.

  • AND THE WINNER COULD BE...

    The Critics' Choice Awards Nominations Choose Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad

    The anti-Emmys have rolled out their ballot and there are plenty of dark horses but also some expected snubs.
