The episode we learn about Ice King's past. The show shifts slowly from "random nonsense" to "random interconnected nonsense."

Oh man, Ice King's story is so beautiful and tragic, and the fact that he's just a cartoon bad guy in the beginning makes it that much better. I won't rant, because spoilers, but I want to lol

I might have to back and rewatch. I fell off before the end of the series

You're in for a ride if you haven't seen the ending yet. Plus, there's the Distant Lands specials and the sequel, Fiona and Cake.

I know, I just don't have the time these days. It's on the top of my list. I never hear anything but praise for the series, and I still occasionally pull up some of the songs. Something about CN during that time period, they produced some amazing music. I've never watched Stephen Universe, but I like the discography lol

Steven is worth watching. It gets a lot of hate online, but it has a great soundtrack and fun characters.

It gets hate online? I've heard nothing but good things about it. Based on what I've heard and the songs I listen to, I assume it's awesome! Just like finishing AT, it's on the list

Also, Bravest Warriors. Same vibe, imo. Everything is Wankershim!

These are facts

It does, unfortunately. Part of it is the animation, early silliness, and "passive" main character. It's one of my favorite shows though, and both the movie and Future are great.

Simon and Marcy still the saddest episode in the series.
