Anyone watch it?
I heard about it in passing during a Spill.com podcast, and I just checked it out because I really love Regular Show and Adventure Time.
I fell in love after the first episode. For those of you who don't know, The show is about these two 12 year old twins who go and stay with their shady con-man theif uncle Stan in Gravity Falls, Oragon. When they get there, they quickly realize **** ain't what it seems, and a lot of weird things happen.
The animation is so crisp, and fluid, the character motions are hilarious, and very natural. The humor is the same way, it's never forced, and it's never Family Guy style random.
It reminds me of Invader Zim. The jokes get really edgy, and out there, and has a few references to a **** ton of stuff kids won't get. But they use them well.
All the main characters are memorable and funny. There's not one character that isn't likable. The character of Mabel should be a character I hate. She's goofy, she yells, she's almost oblivious to things around her....yet she's incredibly charming and hilarious.
Dipper is a nicer, more down to earth Dib. I caught it subconsciously. Then he made a reference to his head.
And Grunkle Stan is the worst role model for kids. They make constant references to him pulling off heists, and he has no consequences for it.
, Dipper pretty much states that revenge is underrated and awesome. That's great.
The show also has this really semi creepy vibe under the surface. There's a ton of secrets located within the show, and at the end of every episode there is a coded sentence you could figure out. There's a grander conspiracy going on....it's really intriguing.
So yeah, tl;dr It's a great show, and you should watch it.
And the last episode is ****ing awesome beyond all belief.
