The Amazing World of Gumball

It's like a year old!

Someone subbed the first two episodes (I'm not sure how many there are). Here's the second, but I can't find the first anymore.

Closer to half a year: the first posts on English-using sites were in January.

Anyone catch tonight's new ep? Billy's mom is a total bitch. That ending though was cake.

"We be we baby!"

Like I said earlier, it's the best of the last four season three episodes. The part where they were ramming in slow motion is just glorious.

Y'know, despite everyone still giving him crap for being a loser, a lot of the recent episodes show Gumball's pretty damn good at being a protagonist (or in other words a leader, I guess). Especially The Egg, even though it's not really about him.

"The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy, paraphrasing Mark Twain.

I like how "The Return" showed most of Gumball classmates care about him and Darwin, sort of, unlike what most of the rest of the town seems to think of the Wattersons.

On a different note, episodes that can be watched on-demand and on the Cartoon Network website seem like they're going to be a week ahead for Gumball. So this Thursday's episode ("The Crew", which is about Darwin and Gumball trying to join the gang of senior citizens that hang out on that lawn) is already up.

Made some Nicole + Chun-Ni fan art just because.

"We be we baby!"

"The Others" is available on Cartoon Network On Demand, though not on the website yet.

Despite the description, it's not really about Anais. It has a rather interesting revelation about Gumball and Darwin. I look forward to finding out what else they have "missed".

Unfortunately, some of Gumball's behavior was more annoying than funny (sort of like "The Society", though not quite as bad) and it feels like Darwin might as well not be there for most of the episode. It's still a very good episode regardless. It's almost like "The Fan" in reverse.

On a different note, the Gumball comic ended at eight issues, but we're still getting a graphic novel in a few months.

Just saw the episode as well. Holy shit, the creators really took the Esoteric Happy Ending Up To Eleven with this episode.

The Super Saiyen bit was funny (could of been darkly funny if Gumball gets the idea of having Darwin die in front of him since that's one quick way to become a SS).

I don't get why people would always use Detroit as a reference for shit hole cities. Sure violent crime rates are high, and recently we filed for bankruptcy, and there is a high unemployment rate, and a lot of the drivers in and out of the city are assholes, and we are commonly portrayed as the worse city in the US in media . . . at least we gave the world Jumanji and Evil Dead. You're welcome.

Look, Jumanji and Evil Dead ARE GOOD movies and all, but seriously , Fuck Detroit. Let's agree to disagree. Detroit deserves the hate it gets... Even if just in my own opinion, too.

Alright - sorry for the derailing; let's move forward.

New Web Browser, same old Shokew.

. . . Probably should of learn how to hyperlink my text to signify I was in a joke mode.

Probably I should also assume your comment is a joke too.

Anyway, The Other is a pretty funny episode.

Yeah, pretty much.

I was surprised they could get away with the Saiyan joke.

Also, Claire's story would be a very Growing the Beard moment for the show, if Gumball didnt have to be involved, but then again, without him, there is no world.

"We be we baby!"

I'm wondering if all these new characters are going to be a permanent addition or if they're just a one-off thing for this episode. Hope it's the former because this show doesn't look like a 'one and done' kinda thing.

So I just watched The Others, and I loved it. Yeah, Gumball and Darwin were getting a little too annoying in some moments, but this episode is the biggest reason why I like Gumball: the writers parodying and deconstructing some of the biggest tropes in media. In this case, Gumball and Darwin shoving themselves into a plotline similar to My So Called Life or Degrassi is a pretty genius idea. I'd give it an 8/10, if only because the moments of Gumball being too annoying weighed it down slightly (also, Gumball seems a bit dumber than usual).

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

I don't necessarily want another episode about them anytime soon, but hope they'll still be around as Recurring Extras.

Also, I didn't notice the freaking Zardoz reference the first time I saw it. (Amusingly enough, Zed, like Gumball, has worn a wedding dress)

The Gum is good...the Zac is evil

The episode was great. ^^ At least Gumball trying to help ended up becoming genuine because Clare was being cynical in a world that is anything but.

I just saw The Signature and it is a doozy!

I was expecting "the balls are evil".

Boy, is it! Does Jojo just have a thing for rodents? I kind of like the trend of most people's parents in Elmore being different species, rather than earlier episodes where it seemed most were the same; it makes more sense really, given the demographics.

Also, it seems they retconned Richard's age to be nine years younger, so he's in his late thirties or early forties. The new number makes more sense, really.

Yeah has anyone alerted Funimation that Gumball referenced DBZ for a good 30 seconds?? :D

Clare's father has a job in Ellmore now, but he didn't really look happy with the news. I hope Gumball didn't mess up Clare's life instead of improve it.

He was uncomfortable because he was confused.

Some people (I'm not really sure if this is staff or fans) made a bunch of Gumball-themed dishes; Bocquelet posted a bunch of picture on his Twitter account.

x2 The universe literally revolves around Gumball and his family, as shown when reality started distorting and disappearing when they won't sell out or Richard getting a job causes reality to collapse.

Not to mention Gumball realized the world is a place where anything really can happen. Clare was just being melodramatic.

Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.

Watched my first episode last night - "The Fridge." I really liked it. Nicole is hilarious, and the family is so dysfunctional in the right way.

And then I binge watched a lot more. It's a great show! I've been avoiding it for a while because I was a lot younger when it first aired and the animation freaked the crud out of me. Sussie still does. In the long run, though, now the art style(s) is something I really admire.

I'm probably not going to go out of my way to see every episode in order - that has to go on the list behind Adventure Time, Death Note, Avatar, and who knows what else. But I'll definitely watch it whenever it's on. And I've seen a review of "The Shell" and I want to find it on YT or something.

Current favorite episode: "The Mirror"!

Currently writing something. Currently procrastinating.

For a long time, Penny and Gumball's relationship was closest thing the show had to a developing plotline, so it's best to watch the earlier episodes about them before "The Shell": "The Pressure", "The Gi", "The Party", "The Date", "The Knights". Season two didn't have many episodes about it, but had a lot of moments that showed they'd gotten past the point where they couldn't even talk to each other.

At the very least, watch "The Date" and/or "The Knights", because Penny's dad is a pretty important character in "The Shell", but isn't in many other episodes.

I saw "The Knights," then later went on to "The Mirror" and noted that Penny seemed to be permanently out of her shell - I only knew about that because of the review I saw. Also, they're dating. That's enough continuity for now! :P Yup, looks like I skipped most of the "plot"heavy episodes. Oh well. I can always go back.
