AV Club is super into the sexual awakening of a 14 year-old boy.

Also, I'm pretty sure they had a collective orgasm when he lost his arm.

Totally not creepy, though.

I don't know, that seems pretty weird but a live action show that has a real human child go to ground zero and accuse people of being in favor of 9/11 has its own brand of hosed up that most shows don't hit.

Yeah, but his arm-flower had an orgasm and it grew back.

adventure time is anime and like all anime is for children. it's pretty good but not really as profound as certain people (tumblr and the av club) like to think. it also has an air of hipstery pretentiousness about it, like the creators are super pleased with themselves at how deep and artsy it is

tl/dr it's good, regular show is probably funnier/more entertaining though

Irony sucks and anime owns because it tends to be incredibly unpretentious (glaring examples like Eva and Lain excluded) and when some unabashed balls-to-the-wall in your face titties-and-fighting show like Kill la Kill comes out it makes Americans uncomfortable and they have to project some sort of ironic deep layer to it because they're ashamed to admit that cartoons can and do regularly give them boners if you let them (e.g. America's long history of tijuana bibles and pulp trash pinup art)

This is the only ok argument for anime I have ever seen in any medium. Its ok, but still not great.

e: wait no I read it again and its crap. :420:

basically FLCL is what Adventure Time is trying to be. it fails at it because it's unable to drop the pretension and protective shell of irony and just be a show about a stupid kid growing up doing stupid kid poo poo

(note: i will never stop trying to sell people on FLCL. i'm not sorry. it really is that good)

I used to like adventure time being an adult who enjoys such things then people say this:

butplug accident posted:

it's not really a cartoon for kids even though they can watch it if they want i guess. it's filled with some pretty dark stuff so it's more correct to say it's a cartoon for adults akin to wonder showzen

And I stopped watching it (I really hope you're being ironic :psyduck:).

It got real loving old, real fast when people are trying to claim a kid's show for themselvezzz. Loads of kids shows had a ton of dark humour.

I love how he was most likely posing ironically in that one (fedora - check; jorts - check; sandals and socks - check) but in the end it backfired completely and everyone was simply quoting it calling him a fat goon.

I like Adventure Time, and i'd watch it more often but for some reason they wait for like two months to put the new episodes on Comcast on demand. I liked that part in the episode with the Ice King and Marceline where she climbed down from a bridge on a big piece of gum that had a face on it and you figure that's probably Princess Bubblegum. Also I like that the guy who voices Lemongrab does Morty from Rick & Morty, which is a show for grown ups.

You should read the "fat is beautiful" thread. He's apparently okay with it and rented the outfit and tee-hee aren't I silly and he's typed so many words since then that people don't even remember why they thought he was an oversensitive piece of poo poo.

i had it in a reduced resolution on my Flickr specifically for the reason for sharing it here. When people started to rehost it is when I started having issue with it. Also, it was pissing off twee as gently caress and we know what happened to him. I leave most of them up because of the photoshop thread and wanting to keep it all intact in the goldmine. I still delete duplicate instances every now and then.
