GC13, Soren, and David discuss the sixteenth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Cleaners and Dried With Sweet Sake. Shuro has finally reunited with his old party, and oh boy is Kabru savoring the drama. Chilchuck, we’re disappointed in you: how could you possibly think Laios was better able to handle himself in a social encounter than Senshi? But thi…

GC13, Soren, and David discuss Over the Garden Wall in honor of its tenth anniversary. Do you think the events of Over the Garden Wall “really” happened? Do you think it matters? Whether it happened or not Wirt really benefited from the journey, gaining a lot of character growth. Also somehow Jason Funderburker the frog got something in his stomach…

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the fifteenth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Dryad and Cockatrice. You know what we’ve needed? A funny episode. Well, this episode has jokes for days, and they land. Do you want to see all of the disapproving faces Marcille is capable of making? Well so do we, and this episode delivers! That’s not to say it’s all fu…

GC13 and Soren discuss the fourteenth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Sea Serpent. Now that we’ve properly raised the stakes for our brave adventurers, it’s time for us to dip back in time and follow a different group of adventurers! Kabru has a truly bizarre obsession with Falin and Laios, and quite a high skill at murdering people. And now he’s …

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the thirteenth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Red Dragon 3 and Good Medicine. And here we are: the second half of the season sees the rug pulled out from under our heroes as we’re properly introduced to the Mad Mage. As you might imagine, he’s not very popular ’round these parts. Thankfully Senshi has a reliable sme…

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the twelfth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Red Dragon 2. We didn’t get to eat in the last episode so now it’s time to cook some dragon! Just, maybe pick a better cooking spot next time Senshi. Marcille may have brought a bit of darkness, but even considering the time spent on skeleton assembly this was overall a hap…

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the eleventh episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Red Dragon 1. The dragon is down and questions abound! Why was it so active? Can Falin be revived? Who among the party was the biggest hero in that fight? It was definitely an epic struggle against a powerful foe. But now that their enemy has been felled surely this is a s…

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the tenth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Giant Frogs and Aboveground. Well we’re not even halfway through the season and they’ve already arrived where they’re going to need to do battle with a red dragon in order to save Falin’s life, things probably don’t go well for them (Chilchuck probably used up all of their lu…

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the ninth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Tentacles and Stew. This is the episode where we meet Namari (who is not Nimona!), as well as her new party. Mr. Tansu seems… Nice. Yeah… At least he’s willing to heal Marcille though, after he gets paid. And Marcille decides that if you’ve got an angry undine spawn camping y…

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the eighth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Raspberries and Grilled Meat. It may end in a loss, but Marcille gets an unbelievably epic fight against the undine, lovingly animated by Studio Trigger. A great combination of exact duplication of manga panels where appropriate, and ramping up the action when necessary. And…

GC13. Soren, and David discuss the seventh episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Kelpie, Porridge, and Broiled with Sauce. Another episode, another hard L for Kabru’s crew. At least their food didn’t go to waste, but they’d best respect Marcille’s spellcasting—for one it works, for another she can probably explode their heads off. It’s too bad … Continu…

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the sixth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Court Cuisine and Boiled in Seawater. Well, it’s back to the lengthy episode names. But no matter how you think the paintings work (can you digest them?), at least Chilchick got some major screentime while matching wits with one of his archnemeses. And … Continue reading…

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the fifth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Snacks and Sorbet. Yes, David has joined the party, and we’re five episodes deep into the (delicious in) dungeon. And it’s a good episode for him to join on, because after a rough first two episodes of the series Marcille gets to be … Continue reading…

GC13, Soren, and David discuss The Fairy Isle from Hilda. Well, if you wanted a fantastic send-off for the Hilda series you couldn’t have done much better. It’s a triple-length episode that lets us explore a whole new world and answers a question we didn’t know we had. Unless you were wondering why Hilda’s hair was … Continue reading…

GC13, Soren, and David discuss Strange Frequencies from Hilda. Hilda doesn’t need to go outside, she needs answers. Alfur is more than happy to provide, while Frida and David drag her off to deal with an upsurge in Nisse stealing from each other. We met a lot more today, who was your favorite? But most importantly: … Continue reading…

GC13 and Soren discuss the fourth episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Stewed Cabbage and Orc (they ate with the orcs, they didn’t stew them). We’ve met our first bunch of not-so-human humanoids, and they don’t seem to be great fans of adventurers. But of course they get along great with Senshi—and he’s able to charm even … Continue reading…

GC13 and Soren discuss the third episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Living Armor. So we have our party’s first discovery: the secret of the living armor, and of course how to eat it! Good on Laios for putting on his thinking cap, and the rest of the party for holding out in a tough fight. … Continue reading…

GC13 and Soren discuss the second episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Roast Basilisk, Omelette, and Kakiage. Laios may be giving his party plenty of time to shine in this episode, but he and Senshi can’t pass up the opportunity to demonstrate proper basilisk battling technique. But Marcille and Chilchuck really grow a lot in this … Continue reading…

GC13 and Soren discuss the first episode of Delicious in Dungeon, Hot Pot and Tart. It’s a show about slaying monsters in a dungeon then cooking and eating them. Thank goodness Senshi showed up to share his vast experience preparing the various monsters of the dungeon—it wouldn’t have been nearly as delicious in the dungeon … Continue reading…

GC13, Soren, and David discuss The Forgotten Lake from Hilda. Johanna better have been nominated for some mother of the year awards after this episode. She may be a touch overprotective for Hilda’s liking, but you can’t deny that she’s quite good at protecting Hilda. But the mystery deepens. Johanna’s parents imprisoned that spider frog to … Contin…

GC13, Soren, and David discuss The Job from Hilda. It took the final season of the series, but we finally got to meet Hilda’s father: Anders! He’s sadly no bellkeeper, but he’s a wandering adventurer with a pathological aversion to commitment—and it hasn’t been doing good things to his daughter’s family life. And this clearly won’t … Continue readi…

GC13 and David discuss The Laughing Merman from Hilda. It’s the one and only episode featuring the one and only Eugene. Are you sad that we don’t have a fourth season? Knowing that this is all of the Eugene we’ll ever have is just a sad way to think about a great episode. And the Freaky … Continue reading…

GC13 and David discuss The Giantslayer from Hilda. He may not be tall, and he may not be strong, but the Giantslayer has a mission: annoy all the giants until they feel bad and leave. Hilda’s sad to see them go of course, but Halvor is very keen on it. Do you wish the giants had … Continue reading저자 The Lunar Sea Spire

GC13, Soren, and David discuss The Fairy Mound from Hilda. Can you imagine any episode where Hilda learns what fairy mounds are and her not going to get stuck in one? Because while this may not be Astrid’s finest moment, she also really wants a visit. Oh well, now we’re headed back to Trolberg. But … Continue reading…

GC13, Soren, and David discuss The Train to Tofoten from Hilda. With the movie over it’s time for another season, sadly the final season of the show. But we have eight great episodes to look forward to! We’re having a wonderful vacation to Tofoten! It’s great to have met Hilda’s great-aunt Astrid, and her neighbor the … Continue reading…

GC13, Soren, and David discuss the movie Hilda and the Mountain King. As far as cliffhangers go, Hilda being turned into a troll at the end of the second season rated quite highly. Now that we’re discussing the movie, it’s finally time to discuss how that turned out. We find ourselves living in a world where … Continue reading…

GC13 and David discuss It Takes Time, the series finale of Summer Camp Island. How many tropes did you spot in this episode? Because we found quite a few without really even looking. But if having a beautiful song to montage over is wrong, we don’t want our cartoons to be right. All of the action … Continue reading…

GC13 and David discuss Weather Your Weather from Summer Camp Island. Does anyone think there’s a lot of magic happening for a world where the source of all magic has been destroyed? Last episode it was just a tornado and a ghost, but now we have a pool and a hatch to add to the list, … Continue reading…

GC13 and David discuss Swellington Boots from Summer Camp Island. Susie has finally arrived. She’s been the de facto main character of the series for a while, but now that she’s experiencing a story arc she has officially joined the main character club. Sue and Doug take control of the situation and teach Susie a valuable … Continue reading…

GC13 and David discuss Meeting of the Mounds from Summer Camp Island. Another series, another baseball episode filled with wacky hijinks—apparently nine innings worth, which is enough to drive anyone to exhaustion. Susie, you are forgiven—especially because at least you used your magic for a better reason than those other knuckleheads. Thankfully O…

GC13 and David discuss Retrace Our Hooves from Summer Camp Island. It’s okay Mildred, there’s no rush—we’re sure Susie has time to finish her epic death speech and make it out of the Metaphysical Reserve alive. And thank goodness that she does! Susie escapes from a not at all sinister place that had incredibly sinister designs on her. … Continue re…

GC13 and David discuss Croissant Moon from Summer Camp Island. With the help of Jimjams it’s time to send Mildred into her dreams to find the Thin Place and break through it into the Metaphysical Reserve. Do you think she would have even had a chance of making it without Pepper’s help? Perhaps as such a … Continue reading…

GC13 and David discuss Bear With Me from Summer Camp Island. The Jar Guard has arrived on Summer Camp Island, and the Rascals have come out to finally feast on jelly at her expense. Thankfully they’re not very observant, and fall prey to the old couch-is-actually-two-bears trick! It’s not easy to convince the Jar Guard that … Continue reading…

GC13 and David discuss Jar Guard from Summer Camp Island. And now we see what was happening a bit deeper into the Frozen North just as Susie was planning to unleash her newly minted swear words on her sister. The word “tragedy” feels quite appropriate. We may never truly understand the Pale Dog, but we can … Continue reading…

GC13 and David discuss Night’s Pockets from Summer Camp Island. So out finally comes Jimjams’ true backstory: once a god, he was turned into a lowly purple pair of pajamas for his transgression against Time. At least he took his punishment like a champ. But unfortunately Time is still upset with him, so upset not even … Continue reading…

GC13 and David discuss The Metaphysical Reserve from Summer Camp Island. The metaphysical reserve is a very mysterious place, but there’s no mystery to Susie: she wants love and adoration, and as long as she’s in the metaphysical reserve she’ll get it. It’s really too bad about the whole fossilization thing… But reality keeps intruding on … Continu…

GC13 and David discuss The Last Witch from Summer Camp Island. Susie has a very complicated spell that just came to her (as if in a dream), but unfortunately it’s going to require the witches to go into a trance one by one to keep it going. Except for Hedgehog, of course, who’s responsible for Susie’s … Continue reading…

GC13 and David discuss Storybook Susie from Summer Camp Island. It’s finally time that Susie’s coven knows the full story: not only did Mildred turn hands into feet, she also drank Susie’s immortality potion. Because she’s her sister! But this isn’t an anniversary, because Susie has decided it’s time to try to reach Mildred: in the … Continue readi…

GC13 and David discuss Go Get Our Girls from Summer Camp Island. It’s one of the greatest mysteries since the introduction of the coven: where did the coven go? We knew they were on the island immediately before the campers appeared, then they vanished. Well they didn’t go off to a summer camp of their own, … Continue reading…

GC13 and David discuss The Three Grrs from Summer Camp Island. It’s an episode about a bunch of jesters doing fun bits with banana peels for the king, what could possibly be depressing about that? Leave it to Oscar, he’ll surely find a way. But thankfully the king isn’t an “off with his head!” kind of … Continue reading…

GC13 and David discuss Miracle Rabbit from Summer Camp Island. Each week adds even more fuel to the plot train.

GC13 and David discuss The Hits from Summer Camp Island. After a tornado sweeps through the island, Barb and the King have a bad feeling and so inspect “the hits”: the Rascals, the Spotted Bears, the ferns, and the magic diamond. Unfortunately Oscar’s been on a bit of a barber binge, and he’s not too happy … Continue reading…

GC13 and David discuss Pepper’s Funeral from Summer Camp Island. Oh Pepper, we hardly knew you. Wait, what? He’s just officiating the funeral? That’s a relief. Thank goodness these episode titles didn’t leak—that really would have send the fandom into a tizzy, wouldn’t it have? Were you waiting for the story to kick in? Because Pepper’s Funeral … C…

GC13 and David discuss See Bees? Gee! Bees! from Summer Camp Island. Oscar has a lot of dedication to his pursuit of enlightenment to spend three weeks walking a garden path 9,999 times. But he has even more dedication to his friend Hedgehog to turn down enlightenment (and probably a very cushy monastery job) to be … Continue reading…

GC13 and David discuss If I Only Had a Wand from Summer Camp Island. If any time spent with Hedgehog’s mother is depressing, then what does it say about this episode that has by far the most screen time for her? But as mean as she is to Hedgehog, she’s doing it all for a reason. … Continue reading저자 The Lunar Sea Spire

GC13 and David discuss The Legs from Summer Camp Island. Summer Camp Island, here we are! It’s time to discuss the sixth and final season, and we’re starting up on a story arc. This episode gets us started with the story slowly, but there’s a lot of friendship Oscar and Hedgehog have—enough to get them a … Continue reading…

GC13 and David discuss Cheers from Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake. And now we’ve seen the big showdown. Thank goodness Simon is on a first-name basis with a deity, or that could have got real ugly. Even as it was things didn’t so great and it was up to Prismo to send in the cavalry—just don’t … Continue reading…

GC13 and David discuss Casper and Nova from Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake. It’s all coming together. Simon and Betty, Scarab and our heroes… Thankfully Ellis didn’t lose his spaghetti to his squirrel friends; that would be enough to turn a dream into a nightmare. While this episode was named after Casper and Nova, we won’t … Continue reading…

GC13 and David discuss Jerry from Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake. The adventuring party comes to a new world somehow even more suited for Halloween than the episode we discussed in our Halloween episode, though of course it was perfect that we discussed it on Halloween. It’s BMO’s time to shine. With no one else around, … Continue reading…

GC13 and David discuss The Star from Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake. Marceline is such a good girl. Bad actually, a punk. But she has a good heart. Now ask yourself how dangerous she’d be with absolutely no conscience whatsoever? Why, something strong enough to do that could probably turn Martin into a good person again… And … Continue reading…
