I started watching this show just recently, direly needed a replacement for Adventure Time and Steven Universe. Regarding Star, I'm done with season 1 and now I'm waiting for season 2.

There not much to say, its pretty simple wacky and has tiny hint of romance.

Nephthys
Season 2 is out though.

But yeah theres not too much to talk about. Theres not even nearly the same amount of depth as AT or SU and it simply isn't remotely as good. Which is fine, it just means that its merely a "good cartoon" instead of "Top 5 of all time".

Adventure Time is or at least was great, last couple of seasons the quality has slipped.

Vansonbee really, and I mean really needs to find female companionship stat

The one kid in the pic looks like Ben f*cking 10. Is that even still on? Dude looks like a young Ben to me.

I enjoyed Ben 10 as a show because I figured the people behind it are on as many drugs as I am.

Nephthys
Adventure Time kind of went too far up its own ass in some places.


Like the episodes that were basically just the writer wanking off over existentialism or other oblique philosophical ramblings were pushing it too far imo.

Also that shitty episode Clown Face, an unfunny pretentious episode about how stupid people are for not liking unfunny pretentious shit.

Ben 10 is still a thing, regrettably.

I love philosophical ramblings.

I've only seen a few adventure time episodes with some friends, but they were enjoyable enough. Tom Kenny is amazing with voice acting tbh thumb up

Steven Universe on the other hand I simply could not get into. I'm just not fond of the animation style, the humor is rather cringey, and I find Steven honestly more annoying than Jar Jar.

Great show.

So do I, but Adventure Time is intentionally a vague and surreal show and when you mix that with poorly explained philosophy it gets confusing and irritating. This is supposed to be a children's cartoon.

Like I said, AT is still in the top 5 cartoons ever imo. SU is unquestionably no 1 though in my mind.

I haven't ever understood the criticism that Steven is annoying myself but for what its worth he is said to get a lot better very quickly by people I've heard that from. The animation changes drastically over the course of the show as well as their budget grows and they refine the designs.

The latest Star ep. was pretty good.
It had a call back to the first episode, and had Marco spend 16 years in another dimension. When he got back he de-aged, but mentally he's shown to have still been gone.
He sat in front of his laptop and realized he didnt recall his password. Subtle but impactful.
The series overall has some good subplots going, which i like.

vansonbee
The first two episodes are good quality stuff. What devotion Marco has, chasing a demon girl for 16 yrs. Is the guy going to build his own harem?

Star is def more fun then Steven. But all fail to compare to the greatness that is and was Gravity Falls.

^^^haha only in fan fic!
It seemed pretty obvious at the end that there was mutual attraction going on. I wonder of he goes back does he age back up?

haha, no. The amount of obvious adult humor in it makes it far and away not just for "children."
