GC13 and David discuss Head Chef from Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart. Put your hand up if you thought Mao Mao would ever have a cooking show episode, and then put it back down again because you are a liar.

But it’s always some wild episode type, isn’t it? The real surprise would be if it were a typical episode, typically done. We’ll get to the bottom of the Gary conspiracy one day…

How Steven Universe’s Endings Succeeded Against the Odds

  • November 29, 2020

Despite the freedom of animation, cartoons are limited by their medium, and the circumstances they’re created under. Some fans consider Steven Universe to have ended too early, and to be missing too many uncompleted ideas.

David remembers their experiences with cartoons that ended too early, and how Steven Universe flexed its creative muscles to create a complete story against the odds.

GC13 and David discuss the second episode of Adventure Time: Distant Lands, Obsidian.

If you’re a fan of Marceline then we’re pretty sure you enjoyed this episode. If you’re a fan of learning about characters, then we’re pretty sure you enjoyed this episode. Who knew that a setting so new to us could give us such old character lore?

Of course now we have more questions than ever before about Marceline’s mother, but at least the credits gave us a name: Elise.

What’s Your Glitch, Mitch? The Meanest Character in Glitch Techs

  • November 21, 2020

Mitch Williams has quite the arc from the start of Glitch Techs to the end of its second season: starting as a character willing to use mind wiping for just about anything, he becomes someone who seems like he might actually be willing to work with others. Hey, for Mitch, that’s a big deal.

But why, dear Glitch Techs fan, is he like this in the first place? Well, play on: the story of Mitch’s glitch isn’t a story the Glitch Techs are likely to tell you. But I’m no Glitch Tech, am I?

GC13 and David break their silence to discuss Radio Silence from Summer Camp Island.

Oscar has it tough when he’s chasing his rainbow, but it turns out that the treasure he was looking for was friendship the entire time. And a unicorn. Plus, we are inspired by visions of a Steven Universe episode that never was.

Thankfully no one on the podcast does any goofy voices. That might be too much.

Why You Forgave Lapis Lazuli After One Episode of Steven Universe

  • November 14, 2020

There’s a lot of talk about villains being redeemed in Steven Universe, but one character left off of those lists is Lapis Lazuli. It’s not hard to understand why: everyone loves Lapis! But if you sit back and watch Ocean Gem, you realize that Lapis did some bad stuff. Why was she forgiven right away?

Steven Universe doesn’t miss, so let’s look at why Lapis was forgiven before she ever offended.

GC13 and David discuss Tutorial Mode from Glitch Techs.

Yep, Glitch Techs really did manage to work its wrestling episode in as its second episode. Yes, the main antagonist of the episode looks suspiciously like Hulk Hogan, brother!

Glitch Techs is an amazing series, so if your interest was piqued by Age of Hinobi then you owe it to yourself to continue on to Tutorial Mode!

GC13 and David discuss Trading Day from Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart. Yep, who had body switch episode? You win.

Well, you win, but the characters never actually switch bodies, do they? (Humorous endings aside.) What they do prove is that they are absolutely awful at being each other (though in Mao Mao’s defense he probably would have been fine if he weren’t also a jerk).

Enid and Her Family: The Spookiest Characters in OK KO

  • October 31, 2020

There’s only one family in OK KO spooky enough for Halloween, and that’s Enid’s family. Wilhamena, Bernard, Enid, Boris, and Icky live together in the spookiest house on the block, and since they boast a vampire, a werewolf, a witch, a frankenstein monster, and a headless horseman to be, there’s no one who can take the crown from them any time soon.

So if OK KO has the spooks, let’s go get the spooks. They were only in two episodes, Parents Day and Monster Party, but they’re such a wonderful family we think OK KO was better for their inclusion.

Stevie Borbolla’s doodles of Enid’s family (including Boris and Icky) can be found here.
