Gravity Falls tells the story of Dipper and Mabel Pines and their adventures within the town Gravity Falls, they soon learn that the town has secrets and mysteries that are beyond the twins minds and they set off on their adventures to solve the mysteries of the town.
The main mystery of Gravity Falls is a mysterious author and the appearance of strange creatures in the town however by the final four episodes Gravity Falls became a coming of age story due to the twins becoming thirteen by the end of summer.
Personally I loved the series but for the sake of this review I am going to see it without the fandom goggles. The mystery of Gravity Falls isn't mentioned as much as you'd think because episodes about the mystery only show once or twice every two or three episodes but in season two the mystery was over by the eleventh episode and the series became a coming of age story (while fighting the most famous villain in the series).
Coming of age stories aren't rare for the Disney company as it is the main theme of a majority of Disney films but Gravity Falls depicts the theme as both realistically and anxiously because in the final few episodes Mabel becomes terrified of growing up until Dipper reassures her that he will stand by her all the way. The creator of Gravity Falls Alex Hirsch has a great understanding of children because when he was confronted by the shippers, he stood his ground and said how twelve year olds shouldn't go into relationships and that they should focus on having fun and enjoying themselves.
Gravity Falls has a running joke of making fun of teenagers which can become repetitive and the finale can be a let down for a few fans because it abandons and replaces a mystery that is foreshadowed since the first episode. The finale also appears more of a sequel or reboot build than a finale because of the villains reverse message and the note in the final scene before the credits. The twins attempts at romance were too stereotypical for Dipper and too repetitive for Mabel but to Alex Hirsch's credit he does end these two sub-plots in season two but the Wendy and Dipper sub-plot was still mentioned now and again.
Despite these flaws, Gravity Falls is one of my favourite cartoons (if that wasn't obvious) and I would recommend watching it if you're into mysteries, imaginative creatures and dark moments ( just check the nightmare fuel page for this part and you'll see what I mean).
