An actually good cartoon? Is there really a God!?
22 April 2013 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I was kinda anxious to review this title. I mean just say the title out loud. THE AMAZING WORLD OF GUMBALL. Does it sound like its going to be good? When I first saw its add I thought it would be an even bigger flop than the last to Cartoon Network "masterpieces" (term being used loosely) Johhny Test and the Problem Solverz. Now keep in mind I'm around the age when it isn't socially accepted to still watch cartoons. So one day, when I was alone, i flipped on the the TV and went to see what it was all about. And in all honesty this is one of those shows that deserves its title... Despite how ridiculous it sounds. I've taken the time break it down and analyze it piece by piece

Animation- gorgeous, never seen anything like it... Except jimmy neutron, back at the barnyard, planet sheen, etc. when you first hear a 3-D animated show you think, "now where's a rope that I can use to hang myself with." But actually it really works. The character designs are really unique, fun and imaginative. A nice mix of cgi and traditional cartoon animation. The animation flows really smoothly and transitions are almost if not near perfect.

Characters- all right you know the drill Roll Call! Hi I'm Gumball and I'm the mischievous son stereotype, I'm Darwin and I'm the naive friend stereotype, I'm Anias and I'm the smart one that no one listens to stereotype, and so on and so forth. The thing is this, they aren't necessarily bad characters, quite the opposite they are all actually a ton of fun, the problem is that WE HAVE SEEN THEM BEFORE! The Simpsons, family guy, South Park, American dad, bobs burgers, king of the hill, do I really need to go on? OK maybe I'm a bit to harsh. there are some really fun designs with the characters, like making the bully a T-Rex, the Nerd a Robot, the hillbilly a Potato. Well with that being said lets move on to humor

Humor- listen kid I got one word for yah, one word: plastics, Uh I mean Smart. The show is actually really clever with its jokes. This goes back to the shows animation. They use all the characters to their advantage. I mean theirs this one robot kid that does sort of a HAL 9000 meets Face Off kinda thing and its actually kinda funny. There's the fact that the mom is a suburban ninja, a teacher who's been living for thousands of years and asks her deceased skeletal father for help, and even a calling out a shameless Pixar and Dreamwork's knock off (Brinequedo). The only problem is that the humor can fall a bit flat. Not that any of the jokes are bad, because there is definitely some good material in the show, but its just that all the jokes don't have the same effect as others do.

Stories- really fun and unique. I think I've used these words a bit to much, but the stories really are something special. They aren't boring and are all completely original. Well almost all original. You have your typical episodes here and their, but even when the stories aren't new or something we have seen before they change it up a tiny bit. That's a sign of good writing, the fact that you can turn simple stories we have seen before and turn them on their heads and make them enjoyable again. They all have some charm and cuteness, with mix of hilarity, creates a recipe for success. Shows like Gravity falls, TAWOG, MLP are using this combo to their advantage and as you can see its meeting critical acclaim. The only problem I have is the moral they almost always hammer in: Family watches out for each other. But it's not necessarily a bad lesson and it doesn't feel as forced or contrived as certain shows make it "Cough, Cough, MLP, Cough" so it's not really that bad and can leave the episode of in really good note

Conclusion- obviously there is still much more I can delve into such as its art style and writing, in which the show would pass in all categories. I mentioned this before I really overused the words unique and fun, and that's exactly what this show is. They took seemingly unoriginal concepts and make them into a good story. Despite the humor falling a bit flat here and there, it still has a bunch of charm and charisma. And dare I say it, It honestly might be one of the best cartoons ever made. And i know its kind of cheesy to end a review like this but if you are really willing to watch this show, All this fun and more can only be found in THE AMAZING WORLD OF GUMBALL Final Score 8.5/10
