Lunar Sea Spire

GC13 and David discuss Children of the Spore and Anne of the Year from Amphibia. It's official, Anne is definitely accepted as a citizen of Wartwood (even if she, Polly, and Sprig are awful kids to have around). She may not have had anything to do with saving the town (and Amphibia) from Apothecary Gary, but at … Continue reading

GC13 and David discuss The Big Bugball Game and Combat Camp from Amphibia. Ah, finally the Lunar Sea Spire has returned to Frog Show! Even though we know Amphibia is a wonderful place where nothing bad ever happens, it felt good to return to a couple of lighthearted adventures. Still, it's nice to see Anne learning … Continue reading

GC13 and David discuss the tenth episode of Invincible Fight Girl, The Missing Piece. Well, here's that four on one we were promised. Andy is able to find her missing piece though, dig deep, and send the Perm Gang blasting off for the first time. Hopefully we get to see a second season. We may … Continue reading

GC13 and David discuss the ninth episode of Invincible Fight Girl, Formation! The Perm Gang Strikes Back. Now that the Perm Gang has appeared Andy can have herself a real match. Unfortunately for her they have a very sad backstory, and Immaculate isn't a challenge for her after the training she's done. Well, if one … Continue reading

GC13 and David discuss The Rusty Rumble from Invincible Fight Girl. So we've begun a three-parter to finish off the season, and that means that stuff is about to go down. It starts off nice and calm, but nice and calm does include finally meeting Keith David the Scouter, the narrator. Dude is pure sinister… … Continue reading

GC13 and David discuss the seventh episode of Invincible Fight Girl, Bertie Unbound. Put a fork in Rumbleweed, it's done. Bertie, you may blame Andy for this right now, but we hope that with time to reflect you will not declare Andy to be to blame and name yourself her rival. Ruff and Tumble, definitely … Continue reading

GC13 and David discuss Behind the Wall: The Finger and the Toe from Invincible Fight Girl. We never thought we'd hear ourselves say this, but why didn't Andy listen to Craig? Sure, helping people is nice, but as Andy finds out there are some people out there who are beyond help. Still, at least we … Continue reading

GC13 and David discuss The Perfect Strike from Invincible Fight Girl. Quesa Poblana has set down a challenge for Andy: perform ten Perfect Strikes in a week and she'll train her. The only problem is that the Perfect Strike is magic and Andy doesn't know the secret. Enter Craig and Mikey. Separately they can't help, … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the third episode of Invincible Fight Girl, The Way of the World. Andy vs Mbrandon, fight! It's our second wrestling match of the show, and it's a much tougher fight than Immaculate was. But then, Immaculate is a jobber, so the fact that he loses isn't a surprise. Thankfully the … Continue reading

GC13 and David discuss the third episode of Invincible Fight Girl, Friends. It's an episode about friends, and we know one guy who isn't going to be one of the eponymous friends. (It's okay Craig, you've just got some growing to do yet.) Thankfully Mikey is plenty friendly, and Andy is willing to fight for his right … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the second episode of Invincible Fight Girl, Dreamers and Busters. Now the hooks are well and truly into us. Depending on how you feel about magic there may not be much “wrestling” in this episode, but it sets Andy out into the world of wrestling and by golly, she gets Surfs … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the first episode of Invincible Fight Girl, I Am. In a world where wrestling is everything, one girl born on Accountant Isle dreams of becoming a wrestler. She's trained in secret, and when the time comes she doesn't back down from a fight. Sound exciting? Wait until you see the fights … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, David, and Ken discuss the twenty-fourth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Dumplings 2 and Bacon and Eggs. Ken joins us to finish off the first season! We'll be assembled as four when we finally get a second season to chew on. But season one left us with plenty of chewing to do. The … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the twenty-third episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Griffin Soup and Dumplings 1. And now we know the truth. Thankfully though, so does Senshi. Laois, you solved another mystery with your crazy monster obsession, congratulations! The changelings made it hard for them though, especially when it changed their own bodies as … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the twenty-second episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Griffin and Familiars. You can always trust Laios to know exactly how to kill a monster, especially after Marcille did such a good job bringing it to the ground. Ah, another day is saved: the monster is dead, Senshi is safe, and Chilchuck … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the twenty-first episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Egg and the Golden Country. Who had prophecy on their dungeon crawling Bingo card? Now Laios has been named as the one true savior of the Golden Country so now it's time for him to start thinking really hard about what he'd do … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the twentieth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Ice Golem and Barometz. Chilchuck and Izutsumi don't get off to the best start, but at least Chilchuck is able to point our bad but agile kitty at the ice golem's weak point—now no one will ever know that Senshi's irresponsibility is what … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the nineteenth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Hag and Nightmare. Never has Delicious in Dungeon felt more like two episodes stuck together into one, but we suppose starting your second half in a dream and going full Inception will do that sort of thing to you. Izutsumi may not have … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the eighteenth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Shapeshifter. All of the pain and bloodletting is done for the moment, so let's just have a fun episode about shapeshifters trying to infiltrate and eat the party. Doesn't it feel great to relax? But now that Izutsumi is with the party it … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the seventeenth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Harpy and Chimera. Well, we definitely felt that big fight. First harpies then adventurers dying left and right though, and all anyone can talk about are Falin's huge– Ahem. At least this world has healing magic. And at least Laios was able to … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the sixteenth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Cleaners and Dried With Sweet Sake. Shuro has finally reunited with his old party, and oh boy is Kabru savoring the drama. Chilchuck, we're disappointed in you: how could you possibly think Laios was better able to handle himself in a social encounter … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss Over the Garden Wall in honor of its tenth anniversary. Do you think the events of Over the Garden Wall “really” happened? Do you think it matters? Whether it happened or not Wirt really benefited from the journey, gaining a lot of character growth. Also somehow Jason Funderburker the frog … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the fifteenth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Dryad and Cockatrice. You know what we've needed? A funny episode. Well, this episode has jokes for days, and they land. Do you want to see all of the disapproving faces Marcille is capable of making? Well so do we, and this episode … Continue reading

GC13 and Soren discuss the fourteenth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Sea Serpent. Now that we've properly raised the stakes for our brave adventurers, it's time for us to dip back in time and follow a different group of adventurers! Kabru has a truly bizarre obsession with Falin and Laios, and quite a high skill at … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the thirteenth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Red Dragon 3 and Good Medicine. And here we are: the second half of the season sees the rug pulled out from under our heroes as we're properly introduced to the Mad Mage. As you might imagine, he's not very popular 'round these … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the twelfth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Red Dragon 2. We didn't get to eat in the last episode so now it's time to cook some dragon! Just, maybe pick a better cooking spot next time Senshi. Marcille may have brought a bit of darkness, but even considering the time … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the eleventh episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Red Dragon 1. The dragon is down and questions abound! Why was it so active? Can Falin be revived? Who among the party was the biggest hero in that fight? It was definitely an epic struggle against a powerful foe. But now that … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the tenth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Giant Frogs and Aboveground. Well we're not even halfway through the season and they've already arrived where they're going to need to do battle with a red dragon in order to save Falin's life, things probably don't go well for them (Chilchuck probably … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the ninth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Tentacles and Stew. This is the episode where we meet Namari (who is not Nimona!), as well as her new party. Mr. Tansu seems… Nice. Yeah… At least he's willing to heal Marcille though, after he gets paid. And Marcille decides that if … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the eighth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Raspberries and Grilled Meat. It may end in a loss, but Marcille gets an unbelievably epic fight against the undine, lovingly animated by Studio Trigger. A great combination of exact duplication of manga panels where appropriate, and ramping up the action when necessary. … Continue reading

GC13. Soren, and David discuss the seventh episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Kelpie, Porridge, and Broiled with Sauce. Another episode, another hard L for Kabru's crew. At least their food didn't go to waste, but they'd best respect Marcille's spellcasting—for one it works, for another she can probably explode their heads off. It's too bad … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the sixth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Court Cuisine and Boiled in Seawater. Well, it's back to the lengthy episode names. But no matter how you think the paintings work (can you digest them?), at least Chilchick got some major screentime while matching wits with one of his archnemeses. And … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the fifth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Snacks and Sorbet. Yes, David has joined the party, and we're five episodes deep into the (delicious in) dungeon. And it's a good episode for him to join on, because after a rough first two episodes of the series Marcille gets to be … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss The Fairy Isle from Hilda. Well, if you wanted a fantastic send-off for the Hilda series you couldn't have done much better. It's a triple-length episode that lets us explore a whole new world and answers a question we didn't know we had. Unless you were wondering why Hilda's hair was … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss Strange Frequencies from Hilda. Hilda doesn't need to go outside, she needs answers. Alfur is more than happy to provide, while Frida and David drag her off to deal with an upsurge in Nisse stealing from each other. We met a lot more today, who was your favorite? But most importantly: … Continue reading

GC13 and Soren discuss the fourth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Stewed Cabbage and Orc (they ate with the orcs, they didn't stew them). We've met our first bunch of not-so-human humanoids, and they don't seem to be great fans of adventurers. But of course they get along great with Senshi—and he's able to charm even … Continue reading

GC13 and Soren discuss the second episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Living Armor. So we have our party's first discovery: the secret of the living armor, and of course how to eat it! Good on Laios for putting on his thinking cap, and the rest of the party for holding out in a tough fight. … Continue reading

GC13 and Soren discuss the second episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Roast Basilisk, Omelette, and Kakiage. Laios may be giving his party plenty of time to shine in this episode, but he and Senshi can't pass up the opportunity to demonstrate proper basilisk battling technique. But Marcille and Chilchick really grow a lot in this … Continue reading

GC13 and Soren discuss the first episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Hot Pot and Tart. It's a show about slaying monsters in a dungeon then cooking and eating them. Thank goodness Senshi showed up to share his vast experience preparing the various monsters of the dungeon—it wouldn't have been nearly as delicious in the dungeon … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss The Forgotten Lake from Hilda. Johanna better have been nominated for some mother of the year awards after this episode. She may be a touch overprotective for Hilda's liking, but you can't deny that she's quite good at protecting Hilda. But the mystery deepens. Johanna's parents imprisoned that spider frog to … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss The Job from Hilda. It took the final season of the series, but we finally got to meet Hilda's father: Anders! He's sadly no bellkeeper, but he's a wandering adventurer with a pathological aversion to commitment—and it hasn't been doing good things to his daughter's family life. And this clearly won't … Continue reading

GC13 and David discuss The Laughing Merman from Hilda. It's the one and only episode featuring the one and only Eugene. Are you sad that we don't have a fourth season? Knowing that this is all of the Eugene we'll ever have is just a sad way to think about a great episode. And the Freaky … Continue reading

GC13 and David discuss The Giantslayer from Hilda. He may not be tall, and he may not be strong, but the Giantslayer has a mission: annoy all the giants until they feel bad and leave. Hilda's sad to see them go of course, but Halvor is very keen on it. Do you wish the giants had … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss The Fairy Mound from Hilda. Can you imagine any episode where Hilda learns what fairy mounds are and her not going to get stuck in one? Because while this may not be Astrid's finest moment, she also really wants a visit. Oh well, now we're headed back to Trolberg. But … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss The Train to Tofoten from Hilda. With the movie over it's time for another season, sadly the final season of the show. But we have eight great episodes to look forward to! We're having a wonderful vacation to Tofoten! It's great to have met Hilda's great-aunt Astrid, and her neighbor the … Continue reading

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the movie Hilda and the Mountain King. As far as cliffhangers go, Hilda being turned into a troll at the end of the second season rated quite highly. Now that we're discussing the movie, it's finally time to discuss how that turned out. We find ourselves living in a world where … Continue reading

GC13 and David discuss It Takes Time, the series finale of Summer Camp Island. How many tropes did you spot in this episode? Because we found quite a few without really even looking. But if having a beautiful song to montage over is wrong, we don't want our cartoons to be right. All of the action … Continue reading

GC13 and David discuss Weather Your Weather from Summer Camp Island. Does anyone think there's a lot of magic happening for a world where the source of all magic has been destroyed? Last episode it was just a tornado and a ghost, but now we have a pool and a hatch to add to the list, … Continue reading

GC13 and David discuss Swellington Boots from Summer Camp Island. Susie has finally arrived. She's been the de facto main character of the series for a while, but now that she's experiencing a story arc she has officially joined the main character club. Sue and Doug take control of the situation and teach Susie a valuable … Continue reading

GC13 and David discuss Meeting of the Mounds from Summer Camp Island. Another series, another baseball episode filled with wacky hijinks—apparently nine innings worth, which is enough to drive anyone to exhaustion. Susie, you are forgiven—especially because at least you used your magic for a better reason than those other knuckleheads. Thankfully Oscar's parents aren't the … Continue reading

GC13 and David discuss Retrace Our Hooves from Summer Camp Island. It's okay Mildred, there's no rush—we're sure Susie has time to finish her epic death speech and make it out of the Metaphysical Reserve alive. And thank goodness that she does! Susie escapes from a not at all sinister place that had incredibly sinister designs on her. … Continue reading
