Adventure Time with Finn and Jake

Adventure Time with Finn and Jake (2010) 

Yes, it is true; whoever came up with this must have been a brilliant fool with an imagination that knows no bounds. It is incredibly wacky, crazy, and insane as far as the visuals are concerned. I understand why others here often mention various narcotics and compare this TV series to a hallucinatory experience. When I look at the characters, I would have been hard-pressed to find a crazier collection of characters, and I have seen quite a lot. On the musical side of things, the opening alone, consisting of about four verses, is strange on the one hand, even though when you hear it for the third time, you cannot get it out of your head. And even if it were just that, it would be enough to rate the show as something interesting and unique. However, the moment you get into it and see all the little hints, you realize there is something more. Starting with the episode where certain tapes are revealed and the backstory of the world and individual characters gradually begin to unfold, this really good and entertaining show takes on a whole new dimension and that - to quote the author - "sweet candy on the outside, darkness on the inside" begins to take on a realistic slant. A mystery and sometimes an aftertaste emerge in the merry kingdom of sweets, adding depth to this crazy ride that we would not expect in something intended for children. Another positive aspect is that some of the main characters slowly but surely evolve (get older) and thus help develop further the plot of the story, which itself also develops slowly. Some questions are answered, although it brings up an awful lot of others and thus keeps the viewer constantly on their toes and keeps their interest growing to continue to explore this world and all the crazy and mysterious stuff there. When I first saw it, I did not get it, and the first glimpse into the realm of Ooo was one of the more embarrassing ones. However, it got under my skin very quickly, and I am probably in the addiction stage. I am curious what it will do to me and if it will leave any negative effects on me, although it is great for my imagination, so "What time is it? It is adventure time." 10/10. (2014-12-19)
