Holy shit. I'm SO MAD! Those monsters! They murdered their children! And forced Kino to suffer the knowledge of their fates and the burden they placed on them! God damn.
Mind you, I'm pi...

Well! That was a cute set of shorts. I liked that. Very little substances, but fun little peeks into the lives of Anne and the Plantars. My favorite was the video game one--I thought the spritework was very cute, the chiptune rendition of the main theme was great, and I'd definitely play a Scott Pilgr...

Well that was a cryptic last line! Did they stop worrying because they decided the other travelers were wrong, or because they've seen something I haven't picked up on? Do people just find themselves wanting to stay and have a hard time rejecting that so they dislike the place? I wonder. I'm waiting f...

Ugh, I'm so mad at Dave. This episode's going to make me cringe a bunch, I can tell. I'm proud of Kipo for fucking with him like that on the fly, though. Well played. The wolves should be an interesting group--I can't wait to see the battle of the nerds! But other than that I don't have a lot to ...

That was a fun one. Not too consequential, but Anne (hopefully) learned a good lesson and it was heartwarming to see the Planters support her. Not bad at all. I'm kind of itching for there to be Main Plot, though.
That’s it for today’s liveblog, so tomorrow we’re going to be starting episode...

I liked that one. Actual character development for Anne? A tale of derring-do? A cute snail? This was a good one. I really like that Hoppop is genuinely enthusiastic about Sprig and Anne learning to drive, that was a little unexpected. I wonder how much driving Anne's going to do in fut...

Man, I'm curious as hell about this "war". Is it a yearly skirmish that determines some political aspect of the "truce"? Is it against the other country at all? That live fire training was concerning. What sort of bloodsport are we about to see?
We won't be seeing right away, though. That'...

The snakes are pretty cool! I like how many of the mutant races are musical, and I definitely appreciate the rock more than what the cats were playing. Great character designs, too. I wonder, will this just earn Kipo safe passage, or will the party now have a second set of allies?
Also, Kipo is obvious...

That was a very fun one. I wasn't expecting a "everyone's scheming against everyone else because one person is lying and everyone else is being dumb" plot to be that enjoyable! It adds a lot to Hoppop's character that he's so into Anne's show, something for them to bond over. I hope it gets referenced in...

That was a good one. Domino 2 was really cute, Anne's emotional arc was very well done, and Domino 2 was also a really good monster design. I liked that a lot. And Hoppop loves pets! Who knew! He just completely forgave Anne because he knew what it was like to miss a pet you loved. &...

We’re getting another look at Young Kino! I’ve been hoping we’d get this for a while. It’ll be cool to see how they got to be the way they are now.
Kino’s passivity I’m less a fan of. Their policy of just standing by while other people do things good or bad grates a little. I get it,...

The fun worldbuilding continues. The cat lumberjack civilization is pretty neat, and they’re fairly fleshed out already. I like it. I feel bad for them, despite them trying to sell our protagonists to a crime lord or whatever Scarlemagne turns out to be. I’m looking forward to the rest of the episo...

Holy shit, poor Sprig! He was completely terrified! How traumatic must that have been for him? When he was curled up crying it really hit me that he’s just a little kid. That poor kid. I hope everyone got together after this and hashed it out, because holy shit.
Overall a good episode...

That was a fun one. I’m kind of sad they didn’t get to make pizza, but the bonding was nice and it was a pretty amusing one. Also, I LOVE Sprig’s creepy fiance and I hope she shows up a bunch.

Benson and Dave are fun. I enjoy roguish characters that step up to help people when the chips are down, and these two have a fun dynamic. And it’s time to go to the rescue! Character development! This is going to be fun.
It’ll be a long swim, though.
That’s going to be all for today!...

Man, this episode is just full of twists and turns! An old lady pretending to be a robot tending to a family or robots pretending to be human, a city at the bottom of a lake, food waste that should shame anyone in the world. This is an interesting one. I like it.

That was fun. The core humor didn’t overstay its welcome, it had some fun character development for Anne and Sprig, and the lampreys were pretty good horror. I liked it. Remember, kids, communication is important in friendships! If you leave it off and just butt heads forever, it’ll damage your...

ARE THEY NOT GOING TO TELL HIM ABOUT THEIR ADVENTURE COME ON
That was a fun episode. Not really a standout or anything, but perfectly serviceable and with some character development for Anne. Good on her for facing the consequences of her actions.
That’s going to be it for Amphibia for right now....

This is a very fun show so far. Kipo’s likable and amusing, the worldbuilding is great, and I’m very interested in finding out what the hell happened to the world that it ended up like this.

The patron who picked this show told me before I started this episode that it was their favorite, and I can see why. I’m drawn in. I’ve got strong opinions about books and the freedom to read (as you can probably tell) and this episode is tying into those nicely. It’s also kind of appropriate to do thi...
