What?! A blog about Gravity Falls? How dare I! No, but seriously, Gravity Falls is airing its final episode and I NEED to talk about it's amazingness. The show has brilliant characters, a brilliant soundtrack, a diverse cast of fun personalities and a compelling and endearing story! Now, I could rant and rave about how purely brilliant the series.

But, why not you?

This blog needs discussion, c'mon. Comment. What was your favourite moment? And yes you reading the blog, comment now. What were the weaknesses of the show? Are you a viewer of this who hates Gravity Falls? Gasp, comment below why!

Basically comment below, anything about the series. #RememberTheFalls

PPG 2016 Reboot

Well, the PPG reboot is coming out in April! Way sooner than I expected, buut, there's no way I am gonna be able to review the PPG series. :( Well, the original...I might review the second one, you see, originally I was gonna review PPG and SJ until there reboot series came along, and thus forth PPG's original series will not be reviewed, unless PPG 2.0 is postponed or on hiatus at sometime. Now, I am going through everything I have seen so far:

Promotional Material

 Obviously, the logo is the first thing. I mean, I think the logo is good, it has an essence of the previous incarnation, but puts it own spin on it. It looks more like the original PPG logo (back when it
was a mere Oh Yeah! Cartoons short). Feel free to disagree however.

This is a very nice promotional picture, it shows the girls, the logo, and a nice Townsville design. It would've been a bit nicer to see more, but you know, it's only promotional material, not a promo of the actual show, so this is pretty decent promo material and these are putting a clear amount of effort in PPG 2.0.

Now, you may think that this is all the promotional material, and I am pretty sure I have covered all of it, if I haven't drop down a comment and inform what I have missed!

You never know, I may have missed one thing.

Show Clips

Watch them here!
  • Two new promos you may not have seen, starring Him! Mojo Jojo! Princess! Loads of new villains!
These promos are both good, I like the girls flying out of the window still, and many things have been kept. Quite a lot of new things, like uhm, that giant blue teddy thing? I feel like they aren't a bad thing because, as seen in "Don't Call Me Princess!" (The episode clip), they do still fight with there fists and they NAIL the villains still, I do not feel like those things will be permanent and they may sparsely use gadgets.

The design looks good, the new VAs have won me over in these promos, I like a lot of the elements, however what was Buttercup throwing at Princess? Was it just me or did it look like a gem? I hope that the reason they adding in the new element isn't because they wanna cash in on Steven Universe because they are different shows.

I really like the fight scenes at night, compared to day because I feel they animate it a bit better, like it's not as in your face. 


Now, I like this clip, yes it seems very, "FEMINISM!" but no. That's an out of context clip and considering the villain, it's like this. I was worried at first, but Equal Fights was an episode of the old series AND, of course this episode will have some ounces of feminism in.

Now, this clip had animation, duh. I didn't like the villain, it rubbed me the wrong way due to the design in the first place, anyway, it does seem Clarency, but I do not care about that, it was the throw, it wasn't fast paced enough, like, yes cringe comparison to the original, the original was fluid and it amped up the throwing, and there were more frames drawn?

I don't really know, but it looked better back in 1997, but this is different, so obviously this will do better in some aspects that the original show failed at.

Show Pics

These pictures are separate from the promotional material.

Well, I cannot really judge a picture can I. So here's the synopsis for the episode!

Bubbles convinces the Professor to test his new transmogrifying ray on her new friend, Donny the Pony in an effort to help him become the unicorn he's always wanted to be, but when it turns Donny into a monster instead, she must stop him before he destroys Townsville!

They each have phones, I think the hotline phone might still be in use? But this is for on the go things. Modernised, and still creepy, not just me, right?

Creepy.
