I kinda think that Radiant does what Black Clover does but better. >_>

Except it is focused on a lot fewer characters.

EDIT - Watch the sub. The dub was poor.

Assassination Classroom is a 10/10.

The fact I am a teacher and how poignant it is in terms of my profession has nothing to do with it.

Deca-Dence is awesome and she is definitely best girl who is not a massive pyromaniac.

Watched the first episode of The Great Pretender on Netflix. Interesting premise, more interesting that they don't dub in the dub until the 10 minute mark... for some reason.

S6E9 - The Prince Who Wanted Everything : Another fanfic with Fiona, but this time created by Lumpy Space Princess. Good for a laugh and always enjoy seeing Fiona and Cake.

S6E10 : Something Big - Maja attacks the Candy Kingdom with an ancient evil that threatens all of life everywhere? Evil Darren meets his match since Finn and Jake have an ancient war machine... elephant.... creature? Also Root Beer Guy died. T_T. Fun episode, I enjoyed it.

S6E11 : Little Brother - Shelby has an accident and creates himself a little brother who he tells to go fight evil! Kent has his adventures and they are righteous!

What I might do is look through and do a general season wrap of each season and the high points and low points to start the second topic.

S6E6 : Breezy - Finn's flower is drooping and he is told to get some good vibes in his life. A bee follows his flower arm and is feeling THOSE vibes. Breezy helps him get his mack on with a lot of princesses. Eventually through the episode Finne gets his arm back as his flower blooms. That was a good episode, I enjoyed it a lot. I liked how it showed the consequences of what happened recently in his life.

S6E7 : Food Chain - ... another episode that experiments with different animation styles and such. We learn about the food chain. It is an awful episode. I did see Magic Man so there is that.

S6E8 : Furniture and Meat - Finn and Jake decide to blow all their money after the treehouse literally bursts open from being too full of treasure. Jake quickly takes it too far by paying people to do weird shit. Another weird episode that feels entirely out of place for the series...beyond BMO saving the day.

Watched the latest episode of Fire Force dub today. Beyond the fanservice that was entirely unnecessary, fantastic episode today.

I would say in comparison to something like Steven Universe, AT feels way too long and aimless for a lot of episodes. I realize as a 36 year old man a lot of the humor, especially the earlier seasons, were not meant for me. Still, when watching the whole thing all at once it becomes overwhelming.

---

https://imgur.com/GWG5c3r

I feel like I want to curate a watch list of the good and relevant episodes. I feel you could cut out at least 40 episodes that are just not good or pointless.

SERIOUS SPOILERS! SERIOUSLY SERIOUS!

S6E1-2: Wake Up and Escape the Citadel - So.... uhm.... that was something. Between Prismo being killed, Lich proclaiming he is going to grow an army and destroy all light in the universe, melting the Citadel, to Finn's "dad" being a fucking scumbag piece of shit, to Finn finally losing that arm it seems he was destined to lose, and losing the Leaf Sword... that was a lot. If that is Finn's dad, that is perhaps one of the most disappointing things I've ever seen. Oh, also the Lich is kinda now a giant baby and with Treetrunks and Mr. Pig?! What in the holy fuck just happened? The pay off for this better be fucking good or else... well... I'm this far in, so no or else, but BOOOOO

S6E3: James II - We find out not all is well with James II... and III.... and IV... and V, etc. Nevermind when ORIGINAL JAMES comes to seek his... revenge? Maybe? Interesting episode to follow the two part season opener.

S6E4: The Tower - Feeling some sorta way about losing his arm to his cowardly father, Finn starts to grow a telekinetic arm from the stump. It was similar to his Leaf Sword becoming kinda like a mega-powerful leaf arm, and Lich telling him that he had amazing power. Finn decides to build a tower into space to find his dad, rip off his dads arm, and thus complete his revenge. Jake feels this is the natural way Finn needs to figure things out, while PBG is... against it. I find it interesting that PBG was scared about the level of power Finn could create, yet she is never worried about using Finn and his abilities to help her cause. I really do think she is low-key an antagonist.

S6E5: Sad Face - The worst episode of the series. What in the holy fuck is that? Instead of furthering the plot or doing anything significant, they do THAT?! Jake's tail has a mind of its own once a month and is part of a circus. Stupid shit happens and then it comes back, the end. Yuck.

Toradora looks interesting, like the art style. What it about?

It is a slice of life anime that focuses on 2 students who live next door to each other, and their efforts to help each other get into a relationship with their best friends. Not in like a sleazy way, but in a sweet "I really like them but I'm shy" sort of way.

Deca-Dence, Fruits Basket, and Toradora

---

https://imgur.com/GWG5c3r

I felt like the most recent episode of Deca-Dence saw a drop in animation quality. Now it might have done that purposefully to show how awful it was for our main man, but...

Also, I am beginning to suspect that Princess Bubblegum is REALLY messed up. Like, she could easily become an antagonist levels of messed up. Her absolute hatred for magic despite it literally doing things she cannot do even if she tries to replicate it with science is really problematic. She uses people because she has little concept of mortality. She treats Finn well enough but I am going to guess that she does that only because of how useful he and Jake are.

With Finn's father now coming into view for the series, I wonder if maybe PBG used him in a similar way. He was useful and strong so she used him to protect her interests.

I really wish Betty got the two episode treatment. I am way more invested in that story line than the Lemon Kingdom

5.44: Apple Wedding - Treetrunks is getting married! For some reason Finn is tasked with keeping Lumpy Space Princess from "Crashing the wedding" (why would she do that?), and Treetrunks wants only the KING of Ooo to do the ceremony, which PBG has huge issues with. Have we ever met the King of Ooo? I mean, it stands to reason if she is a princess, there could be a king, but.... huh? The episode just spirals into everything going wrong, with LSP trying to BE the bride, and PBG crashing the "King's" Zeppelin into the wedding. It is bizarre and weird and... pretty much what you would expect from the show. Why does she hate King of Ooo? I mean, he seems like a sheister, but...

5.45: Blade of Grass - Needing a new sword for Finn (since they broke Joshua's), the boys go to the market and buy a Grass Sword that is totally awesome. However, it appears to be cursed! I'm assuming this will likely be a story point moving forward. For some reason the audio mixing on this episode was off and the music was WAY louder than the speaking. Overall it was a really good episode though, and it's nice to see Finn get himself a new weapon.

5.46: Rattleballs - Finn has decided to rededicate himself to being PBG's Knight... in very annoyingly ways. She has to physically order him to "relax" after he spent 3 weeks milking a Mink to get the best milk ever for her. Finn eventually stumbles upon a robot named Rattleballs who has a unique tie to PBG. LOVED this episode, again a nice little window into the... I'm gonna say fucked up nature of PBG. If this robot DESIGNED to kill calls out PBG for her bloodthirst... that is messed up.

5.47: Red Throne - Flame King and "Don John" work together to overthrow Flame Princess. And yes Finn, you got "showed up" by Cinnamon Bun... BIG TIME! Why does Finn gotta be a moron when it comes to FP? Again, cool episode furthering the overarching narrative of Ooo.

5.48: Betty - I won't spoil it for anyone who is in this topic who hasn't watched it. I kinda wish it was a two part episode and had a bit more time to make it even more awesome, but still... wonderful.

5.49: Bad Timing - Lumpy Space Princess is a fucking bitch and that is why we love her. She also straight up kinda murders a good dude in this episode because she thought PBG was going to steal him away. Beautiful Johnny, we hardly knew ye!

5.50-5.51: Story of Lemonhope PT1-2 - PBG is trying to instill in Lemonhope the need to save his people, but Lemonhope just wants to actually USE the freedom given to him by Thin Lemongrab and his people to you know... veg. What follows is the exploits of Lemonhope as he decides what needs to be done as he is plagued by dreams and nightmares of his lost freedom and his lost people. The ending was really powerful, and I liked that Lemonhope kinda became his own person rather than being a tool for anyone in particular.

5.52: Billy's Bucket List - Finn meets Canyon, Billy's Ex. Together they go to his old place and find his bucket list. Together they complete some of the tasks and Finn finds out some rather huge information to end Season 5.

5.43: Root Beer Guy - We meet RBG, who seems like a 9-5'er who is totally bored with life. In the night he saw PBG being abducted by Finn and Jake. He questions them and is threatened by Finn... who told RBG he didn't see nothing. I like episodes where it shows Finn and Jake's adventures from other characters points of view. Very much like a detective noire type episode. Loved how it was all a test.

This song is lit, and this AMV makes this version of Astro-Boy look fucking amazing. I might have to watch it.

5.40: Play Date - Ice King is still living with our boys. Jake is starting to get annoyed by it and wants him kicked out. Jake will go as far as murdering IK apparently. It is nice to see IK getting an episode after being on the backburner for awhile. They invite Abracadaniel over to annoy IK and the two become fast friends. They eventually force Finn and Jake to break a family heirloom and Jake is taken away by a demon. Ice King and Abra leave to go back to the fixed (for weeks) Ice Kingdom! That took one.... hell..... of a turn?

5.41: The Pit - The Demon has Jake, and steals his blood like Joshua stole the demon's blood. Rainicorn brings over a tape that shows Joshua creating a portal to the demon realm... as well as some... other stuff. >_> We see Joshua defeat the demon, sorta, while Finn and Rainicorn find a way into the demon realm and rescue Jake. Cool end to that two parter, showing how different Jake is from Joshua, as well as the Flame Princess callout.

5.42: James - I don't think we know a James. Episode starts with the boys in suits and crying. I think it is a funeral? A week ago James was alive. He is... an ice cream bar? He is helping PB and the boys with something to do with samples. They find "Toxic Creatures" from "Another Time", again shades of the history of the Mushroom War. James is annoying the whole time and very skeevy. It seems James is forced to sacrifice himself by PB to save the group. PB can clone James as he is candy.

This episode really hammers home the callousness of PB. I mean, I get it. She can create life from candy, and thus candy people are not as inherently important as flesh and blood people like Finn... but it's just cold.

That is fair. Sometimes I often don't have monumental thoughts on an episode beyond it giving me a few chuckles. But that is valid criticism.

5.38: Red Starved - Finn and Jake are in the Ancient City for PB with Marceline. Jake ends up causing a cave in. They are stuck, and Jake ate the "red" that they brought for Marceline. Jake has to tie her up so she does not go feral and drink his blood. Finn goes to find something red and finds a weird red light shining onto a piece of glass that turned people into sand. He finds that a giant turtle with a red third eye thing was going to overthrow his home. The other guy is long dead now though, so Finn tries to grab the red emerald. Meanwhile Jake continues to freak out as Marceline goes more feral. He is also hungry and has the idea of cooking Marceline by lava. Turns out Finn is colorblind and the Emerald is green. Right as everything is going to shit, PB shows up and Marceline sucks out her low grade red. She also called her Bonny. The Spoon of Prosperity they found for her gave her back her colour and regular size.

5.39: We Fixed A Truck - Finn found a truck to start the episode. Turns out none of the residents of the tree house knows about cars. However Bananaman does! He explains how a vehicle works... in some detail, with a song. Gotta love Weird Al. They work together through the day, and BMO decides to work on it at night. Bananaman also stays the night and fixes things, hoping they can all be best friends forever. As they drive around Bananaman finds a sexy Bananagirl. They then save PB despite concerns from BMO that she is a reptilian replica... which turns out to be true! They sacrifice the truck and the bananaman peel to kill it. Bananaman then is arrested for public indecency as he is naked.

5.35 : Love Games - Finn and Jake are having a podcast about his Finn's recent love woahs. Finn says he is done trying to date princesses. Slug Princess needs Finn to marry her though, to save her kingdom. Turns out her younger sister married some dude and if she doesn't get married soon, she loses the kingdom to her EVIL YOUNGER SISTER AND BROTHER-IN-LAW! Finn goes along with it for now. They get married sorta. Trials of Glarb are called between the sisters! The couple most in love will rule the kingdom. The first trial is a song of love! He sings a song about not being able to get over Flame Princess. Meanwhile, the brother-in-law has a sore throat and cannot sing. Finn wins the song. The second is about who spoons better, which Finn doesn't wanna do at all... so Guillermo wins the second one. I assume Guullermo isn't actually real at this point. Finn goes to talk to him, and yeah it is fake. She is disqualified for the trials.

5.36 : Dungeon Train - Jake thinks Finn is sad. Jake tells him not to take it so seriously. They run into what looks like an.... Infinity Train? (love that show), and it blocks their path. The train goes around in a circle. They jump on and some dude attacks them. Finn beats him up and they take him stuff. Each car on the train his different monsters they fight, and they keep going. Jake starts to get bored, but Finn loves it. They keep going... and Jake grows to hate it. Jake eventually spots a future orb which shows Finn as an old man still on the train. After a nap and Finn becoming a boss character, Jake tries to take him on. Interesting, he is saying he is 10 times stronger than Finn, before Finn uses a spider web gun to gum up his stuff. Finn looks in the future glass and sees that Jake stays with him forever, and he understands this is bunk. He says he will stay on and play for another week or so, which Jake says is just him being crazy. Finn reassures him and tosses him the orb, which shows them together in the tree house again.

5.37 : Box Prince - A box shows up outside the tree house that has a face on it. Turns out a kitten is inside. Finn follows it to a box kingdom where kittens are in boxes. Turns out our kitten is the Cat Prince and got switched out for an imposter. Finn moves in to help. Jake and BMO argue about why he isn't helping at all, while Finn finds the true prince's crown! The residents won't believe them, and a joust challenge is called! Meanwhile, Jake let's us all know that floss is for losers! The joust turns into a whole wide battle across the kingdom. Finn cannot tell the two potential prices apart, and then questions if it was a kingdom at all as the cats all play with him.

5.33 : Time Sandwich - Jake is doing something with cooking. Looks like it will be delicious. He literally put in his own tears and Lobster-Soul. MAGIC MAN!!!! Fuck you Magic Man. He stole the sandwich! He left with a riddle for Jake to solve to yet his sammitch back. Magic Man puts himself into a time slowed bubble. BMO says they will help, but seems to be making a skateboard video. Which is exactly what he did. Lousy liar! PB comes to check it out and fails. She then calls Marceline, while Jake is sad. Marceline tries to plunge into the field and it does nothing. Jake wanders into it as a sad boy, and that is the answer to the riddle! He must be sad to move through the time field. The sandwich was delicious!

5.34: The Vault - Finn is sleepwalking. In his dream some gal keeps grabbing him. He doesn't remember it cause he puts it in the vault, so he doesn't remember. Jake tricks Finn into playing a game that regresses his mind. He thinks back to his past lives, including the girl from the dream... who was a thief of some kind? Interestingly she is missing an arm, just like Finn lost in the alternate timeline. Anyways, she was alive during the early days of the Candy Kingdom, but PB was still in charge. Interestingly, the Candy Kingdom was built on a radioactive river they filled with candy. They become fast friends and Shoko helps PB create the Gumball Guardians. PB makes her an arm for her help. Shoko has second thoughts about stealing from her, but feels she has to. She steals the amulet but is knocked into the radioactive waste, where nobody can save her. Turns out she got mutated and left the river, and died in the spot of the tree house. Finn wakes up and calls PB over, and he smashed floorboards in the kitchen and finds the amulet and gives it back to PB.

Woah. That episode was all kinds of important.I
