Gravity Falls is a series that started in 2012 and it focuses on the Pines twins named Dipper and Mabel and their adventures and experiences in living in a strange town called Gravity Falls for the summer.
The subtle theme around Gravity Falls is about the journey of the self and maturity. Both of the Pines twins are twelve years old and their birthday is the final day of summer meaning that by the end of their summer they both would be teenagers and lose their childhood innocence.
The journey of the self and maturity is woven into the episodes such as the journey of maturity during Dippers pursuit of science and logic while Mabel matures mentally from her personality and experiences. However its not just Dipper and Mabel who are the targets of these themes such as the repairman Soos, The grandparent Stan, the teenage troublemaker Wendy, the goth Robbie, the child psychic Gideon and finally the popular girl Pacifica.
These characters mature in some way during an episode that is focused on the individual character as they find their purpose in their later life such as dippers choice to find the author, Mabel accepting that she can't always focus on her own goals, Wendy accepting that she can't mock everyone, Robbie and Soos accepting that they can't always be focused on the past or focus their lives on one person while Pacifica learns that wealth can't always bring happiness and the value of others.
Dipper and Mabel's summer home seems to reflect on the theme of maturity by having their house contain false creatures despite being in a town that features genuine strange creatures. It reflects sheltering a child from reality by imagination while having reality just as strange as the imagination.
Gravity Falls has always been about the journey of the self and maturity by having these characters accept their faults and change. The series has these characters give up on their immaturity and grow into better adults or people and finding their purpose in life during their journey of the self.
Its a great series and should be watched from the beginning in order to fully delve in the madness and mystery of Gravity Falls.
