Off the subject I kind of hope they bring back the Season 1 credits style for the finale (you could even use the images shown within as a little epilogue if you wanted)

Oh joy, Andrias is still alive (though we’ll see how things go) Based on the final shot I hope Sasha and Marcy get to be important as well and it’s not just Anne alone who ultimately saves the day in the end (I realize Anne’s the main character but Marcy‘s spent most of the season as a meat puppet for a psychotic AI, give her at least one moment to shine damnit) But based on another scene before it I would also accept a little Spranne against the world one more time. Looks good overall though. I’m really going to miss this series and if they ultimately decide to continue things in some other form later on (comics, shorts, some kind of spinoff show, etc) then cool, but if not then hopefully it’ll get a good sendoff at least.

I didn't realize how much i'd missed hearing Marcy's Theme.  Nameless Pete posted:Anne as BOTW Link was really good, but Sasha as Queen Edelgard was just perfect. My favorite part about it is that you can read it as a deliberate reference even in-universe if you want, since the Core is drawing from Marcy's memories and we've literally seen her with a Legally Distincttm Switch. Sidenote: I can't believe this is what it took to get me from "Sure, I guess hypothetically I'd ship it" to "Actually yeah, I think I have queer headcanons now". (Edelgard is super gay. That's it, that's the context.)

I'm glad to hear there's one more episode; I thought this was it, and it was a weird Sopranos-y way to leave off. And now I want to dub the Sopranos theme over the intro credits.

Back during Leif’s initial vision I originally thought it was a big asteroid or something but nope, seems we’re going out Majora’s Mask style (complete with Anne potentially getting her own Fierce Deity mode) To elaborate, near the end of the promo we see Anne glowing like a rainbow, hear Sasha telling her to come back alive, and there’s another scene where Sprig says he needs to get to Anne. This seems to indicate to me that the group’s initial assault will probably fail and as a last ditch effort they decide to channel the power of all three gems into Anne Larryb fucked around with this message at 18:07 on May 10, 2022 |

A neat thing someone caught. When andreas drops from the castle in the episode before the hour long one to join the fray on Amphibia's front lines, as he's getting back up you hear a lot of creaking metal sounds. All In reveals that this is because he is 90% machine now, his joints were just a bit stunned from the fall.

All In reveals that this is because he is 90% machine now, his joints were just a bit stunned from the fall. Technically there was a hint way back in True Colors as well (during his fight with Anne he generates a shield to protect himself at one point) Not entirely sure how long Andrias had been a cyborg for but it was likely soon after his father joined the Core and he took the throne (he spent his whole life trying to win his father’s approval and serve the Core, in a sense you could kind of see it as a more extreme version of what Anne and Sasha’s relationship was originally) In that sense Darcy wasn’t Anne’s main enemy but rather Sasha’s, making it appropriate that each girl faced off against essentially the darkest version of the person they used to be (and in Marcy’s case her greatest enemy was arguably herself) Speaking of, a nice little detail towards the end of the final battle was Anne moving slightly to the side when she destroyed the robot (she could have easily killed Andrias right then and there if she wanted to but didn’t because despite everything Anne is still Anne).

I noticed on rewatch that Sasha’s eyes went red during the huge worm fight for Barrel’s hammer. I tried looking up if there was a list of these after setting Anne’s eyes go blue in the first episode, but came up dry. Is there any example of Marcy’s eyes going green? The next episode is the third temple, where she will get drained, so there isn’t a whole lot of time for that to happen.

Also a nice detail in retrospect is that every time one of the girls’ eyes flash they’re subconsciously tapping into the power of one of the gems during that particular situation (Anne demonstrating Heart by putting her life on the line to protect someone, Sasha putting on a display of raw Strength for the sake of accomplishing a personal goal, and Marcy using her Wit(s) to overcome a bad situation) Speaking of, as someone else mentioned we’d better get Super Saiyan Rosé Sasha and Legendary Super Saiyan Marcy before the series is done (even if it’s just for the final fight).

My only worry in that regard is a scene from the recent promo where Anne appears to be glowing with the colors of all 3 gems (and a line in the same trailer from Sasha telling her to come back alive). But I’m holding out hope we’ll get the trio together for the final battle as the show’s been hinting at (since she arrived in Newtopia Marcy has been manipulated, stabbed, and had her brain hijacked by a malevolent AI. If anyone deserves revenge here it’s her) Hell, Anne and Sasha had all the fun last week so let Marcy tear the Core apart herself Larryb fucked around with this message at 16:52 on May 11, 2022 |

Amphibia is filled with anime/video game references (hell, even the basic plot is essentially inspired by Magic Knight Rayearth) Speaking of, I’ve never actually seen the latter series to be honest. Is it any good? Larryb fucked around with this message at 17:35 on May 11, 2022 |

Both are good, but kinda go in different directions based on weird early changes in the anime. I probably prefer the manga but neither experience is bad. Never touched the OVA myself so I can't comment on it much.

I really think that the show could've done with another season even though it's managing okay. I didn't really like most of the Earth stuff, but maybe if it had a little more time it could've had more of an arc for itself. Maybe that essay stuff could've been brought in earlier. And then there'd be more time to see Wartwood developing a resistance, maybe get some farming stuff. Maybe lay the ground for some of the other little arcs of this episode. But also I don't really care much for the season 3 opening/credits themes. They're okay, but not great. Oh hey, and in the Amphibia Earth crypto is up. No wonder it was due for a robot invasion. Nerd.

It does feel like this season could have at least used a few more episodes as while the last few have been decent some aspects of them also feel a bit rushed to me (as mentioned, you could have introduced a lot of All In’s plot points much earlier in the show) For example, maybe you could have had an episode between Turning Point and Commander Anne where Sasha has to get used to life in Wartwood and see her interact with the townsfolk a bit more (also it’s still a little weird that aside from the Christmas episode implying her parents were separated we don’t really hear much about her family at all). For one thing I could see her and Miss Croaker getting along considering the latter’s past (I figure Sadie told Sasha some stories about her former occupation, the two bonded over their shared love of violence, and that’s how she wound up as a high ranking member of the resistance) Also they should have made a new opening after Anne and the Plantars got back to Amphibia (maybe a slightly darker take on it like Gravity Falls did for its last few episodes) I’m still enjoying it overall though and hope we get a decent sendoff this week Larryb fucked around with this message at 14:18 on May 12, 2022 |

The MKR OVA has the same basic premise but the story and the characters end up being wildly different from the anime and the manga, and it also kind of sucks, so I'd at least avoid it until after you've seen the anime/read the manga.

Another promo for the Amphibia finale, this one seems to basically confirm that Calamity Sasha & Marcy is indeed going to happen: https://youtube.com/watch?v=llr3DDEGLGM There’s also a line in this that says the power comes with a price so I’ll be interested to see how that goes down (though considering the last episode is called “The Hardest Thing” I have a few guesses at least) One thing I am curious about is Marcy, the whole reason she ran away is because her dad got a new job out of state and considering it’s been over 5 months since she left that would logically mean: A: Her parents eventually assumed she was dead and already moved away during that time B: Her dad had to turn down the job offer and find something else But then again if she doesn’t move then that undermines both the lesson Marcy needs to learn from this and Anne’s whole speech last week about change.
