Yes. Season 2 of Gravity Falls is proving to be one of the highlights of this year to me.
But I suggest you go online and watch Season 1. I just feel that you will get more of an appreciation for the mysteries that they built up and be even happier when they start answering them......kinda......sorta.....

Whatever. I still like it. So much better than Bronies.
^Not a part of that fandom btw.
Well I'm part of that fandom. Not really offended though. It's okay if ya don't like the show that much. Differences in opinions I guess.

No it's just that I find most of that fandom very annoying. Just have a look at the Derpy fiasco. All of that over a BACKGROUND CHARACTER.
I'm not disrespecting you, I don't know about the show (haven't watched it) but I know that some people in that fandom are AxCrazy (Some people sent death threats to Yamino over a BACKGROUND CHARACTER!)
I'm a faller!!!

First Impresions
While I heard quite a bit about Gravity Falls, I thought it was worth watching for the night. Lots of people like it, so, I thought, why not?
Anyways, the episode I watched was "Into The Bunker". After watching the episode, anyone can tell me this was a bad one to start out with, considering it ends with... well. Watch it for yourself.
One thing I thought was notable about it was it confidence about going into mature subjects. The concept of death, while not explicitly stated, was prevalent through the entire episode. I was honestly shocked at the commercials for the Cartoon. It paints it as a cute friendly slice of life story, similar to Phineas and Ferb. What I got instead was a 24 minute long tale about a, to be honest, terrifying creature.
The Sub-Plot is not obnoxious, something few Disney shows seem to work well nowadays. The sections where they expand the plot and sub-plot are so connected, I was honestly surprised when the Wendy that Dipper confessed to was actually the fake one. I was so used to cartoons taking time out of the main plot to talk about the sub-plot, I did not see it coming.
However, the most important thing about the series, is that I feel with the characters. When I watched the Suite Life on Deck, I did not care about the characters, and thus the plot. In this series, however, despite me watching less than one episode, I actually felt scared when they saw the Shapeshifter, and it tore at my heart when Wendy declined Dipper.
All in all, it is a great series, and I hope future cartoons take cue from this.
