Amphibia S01E18 - The Big Bugball Game; Combat Camp
>Anne must learn the value of teamwork to win the town's annual Bugball game. >Anne, Sprig and Polly are forced to stay at a day care center that turns out to be more than it seems.
>Why would she even want to play on a Gameboy if she has a phone? uhhh, because gameboys are cool? it's 2019 and i still use my old gba from time to time, emulators got nothing on the real thing
Ryan Wright
Hilda.
Joshua Phillips
Fucking loving every single episode.
I'm amazed how the first sneak peek was a bit off putting but all the characters are so likeable.
Also, even tho i don't like sports bugball was a good ep.
last week i saw a thing that looks exactly like a gameboy but emulates NES and SNES games. Such cool device i actually want for long traveling.
Ian Morgan
Gameboys are cool and she wants the authentic GBC experience. Emulation on a phone ain't nothin' compared to tapping actual buttons.
Camden Fisher
and the dwarves/Jews makes sense
Oliver Anderson
Literally the most overrated movie quote in the history of cinema I don’t get it
Leo Thompson
This show is great. So far first place this year. Carmen Sandiego is the second runner.
James Morris
Sure, you and I can appreciate the old games we grew up with, But a teen from 2019 with a Phone that plays movies? She must have 10 times more game that the entire GBC library.
Also I'm pretty sure the weapon above it is a nail from Hollow Knight
Ayden Rivera
Literally me in University. Got expulsed I love/like Anne.
Josiah Sanders
Trust me dude. Teenagers love that retro stuff. I had classmates who played Pokemon with GBA's.
Aiden Lopez
She's going fucking native is what she's doing. She already eats bugs like it's no big deal.
Jayden Watson
His name was Inigo Montoya, He was looking for the murderer of his father, and trained all his life to face him even practicing the words he was going to say.
Ryan Parker
Yep. You can even see the Hylian Shield next to the training dummies.
>Amphibians have to deal with a pygmy race of sapient bugs who can smith as well as they can Amphibia really is a spiraling death world.
Isaiah Cooper
I went on a trip last week and i just came back, so i've missed plenty of episodes. Is there a place where i can find the previous ones? Preferably in Zippy because Mega has the stupid data transfer cap.
It's nice that the Plantars' abilities are established early on and kept consistent so they don't have to pull any deus ex machina out of their asses later, I hope
Zachary Torres
Bird Anne and Furry Sprig doing the ohhh pose from Regular show.
To be fair I don’t think this particular Anne pose is a dab
Adrian Campbell
>Bloodborne reference and a Hollow Knight reference Hot damn, the animators have really good taste
Jonathan Nguyen
Anne in a wedding dress
Blake Torres
It's more of a henshin pose.
Grayson Mitchell
this low key could happen with how easy Anne is to manipulate, girl doesnt even have the basic concept of team work. we all think Sasha was manipulating Anne but I think she was just being her normal self and threw some casual compliments at Annes direction and Anne was hers forever
>At least 12 Forever and Infinty Train are coming in the next few weeks i have no interest at all in 12F (No Shane, no show). i dunno 'bout IT, it still irks me how dissonant the gourgeus backgounds look against the character design. i'll give it a chance i guess...
>At least 12 Forever and Infinty Train are coming in the next few weeks The only interest I have in 12 Forever is just drawing potential tomboy taming art.
Anne being a problem child in the real world is still going on, I'm glad it's not one of those "fake flaws" some shows have that only last for the first 2-3 episodes
Noah Hughes
You could easily edit this to make it look like Anne is getting railed.....
Easton Reed
she just free spirited, also >See me after school for special detention >Again, I still cant get the taste out of my mouth no wonder she ran
The Mayor's just big. He's also prone to get fat-tired. Also, I life that for such an antagonistic role he plays, they really are depicting him as going through the motions, as in the social status quo of the Toads in the Valley. It really hit me on a lot of his dialogue in Hop Popular.
Connor Phillips
while I agree, yours isn't even transparent
Adrian Morales
For whatever reason, it feels less charming when SCI does it
Thomas Morales
What was more based? Toadie Throw or that Anne-Hop Combo?
Jayden Thompson
>team work:? the fuck is that? is worse than we tought
I was referring to influence. Despite the fact that he has bad ratings, he still managed to become Mayor. He scammed his citizens and he's still Mayor.
Ms. Croaker is just strong and Sasha has both influence and raw physical strength
Connor Hernandez
Way to miss the point of Anne getting more and more comfortable in her adoptive home.
Everything that SCI does feels "less".
Evan Wilson
To be fair, it was a tiny, tiny character in the background of a very wide shot.
Asher Evans
>Desperately wants validation of others >Doesn't like to work as a team Hmmmmmm
user really missed the point where they literally stated that she's not into eating any kind of bugs before ending up in Amphibia. It's in the first episode. If only they'd give us visuals and sound for this. Too bad.
Colton Campbell
Relax, I'm just pointing something out most people wouldn't think about.
Eh, most of it isn't good but some gems here and there
Zachary Cruz
find out yourself
Kevin Ramirez
>Doesn't like team sports FTFY I know you people like to shitpost here first, and then watch the episode, but come on. You forgot about the part when she didn't like feeling outnumbered? You saucy slut.
I don't think I'm "missing the point" as I am thinking a different way to look at it. Anne strikes me as a picky eater in general, even back on Earth.
I could go into headcanon stuff, but I don't really feel like it right now.
Isaac Martinez
answer the question please :3
Ah shit that happens often, I may take a look myself. Do you rec any artists?
give me a sec
Jackson Lewis
she prefers individual based sports or as she calls it "me" sports which makes sense because if she's good at said sport she gets validation for what she does
Jaxon Sullivan
>is worse than we tought This and when she's was totally find breaking up for other people? Fucking rough. They like dropping shit like that when you forget how bad her relationships were back home.
Jayden Bell
reeee Marcy when
Daniel Collins
doh
Jeremiah Barnes
Anne loosing it is great. Any body has that part where she screams in the Moss Man episode?
Nicholas White
Mossa Sub-neamo Runningpigeon73
Kayden Evans
Anne is James Harden?
Tyler Watson
>headcanon So the "even though i'm wrong, i'm still maintaining i'm right" approach. 'k
Jayden Howard
this reinforce the theory that Anne killed for Sasha before, she lunged at that newt with no regard
It seem pretty obvious now that Anne was somehow feminine version of a dumb sport star. With Sasha being a cheerleader is pretty obvious that Anne is used to do everything in her power for her approval and private "cheer"
Brandon Jackson
Shit. It's this Thursday, and that's that for a long time, huh?
Jordan Johnson
merci
Evan Lopez
...
Adrian Hernandez
Now all we need is a scythe version and this mess can truly be over.
Robert Adams
>Even considering Cuckqueen show has a chance against Amphikino
Wasn't this already renewed for a second season though?
Kevin Powell
I literally don't know what you're even on about with whatever that is, but that other user is so dead-brain stupid, that even your shitpost is better.
>i can't see her doing another role beside that archetype I don't blame you for not being aware of any live-action show from Disney, but you're still wrong.
Matthew Rogers
>1 more episode of 2 segments + 22 minutes season finale left I'm not ready bros
Wait, so you're lamenting not being able to get in on all the "live threads" for this, but you're going back to the cesspool that is /rwbyg/?
Connor Wilson
It's more like
Newts are nobility Toads are military Frogs are commoners
Ryder Clark
>didnt take sasha long to find decent clothes im gonna need the 2int anne pic here
Angel Murphy
The lore will be the death of this show. Mark my words.
Colton Nelson
Speaking of time. How much of it would've passed up until the point of Reunion?
>Frogs are commoners
Kayden Anderson
So Anne is a kid who has trouble focusing but is really good at a couple of things she's obsessed with, has problems with conforming and authority, and is easily taken advantage of by friends who use her to get out of breakups while she mentions no relationships of her own, as well as easily pressure her to do things with regularity. She also has senses that can work blindfolded with essentially no problems.
She is super, SUPER autistic. She has literally every single symptom from social problems to obsession to sensory processing.
Jayden Harris
Marc my worse.
Aaron Sullivan
I'd say about two months.
Justin Wood
I like Froggots.
David Allen
I like to write shitty smut
Hudson White
We're already seem to be beyond the 2 month mark, unless they drop some more hints we can't be too sure.
I kind of want to get confirmation of this really probable animation error, but I don't want to be rude.
Jaxon Foster
Do it!
Tyler Hernandez
>anne trusts hop poppy that trust is about to be shattered
Lincoln Smith
Fuck you, and yours.
Michael James
We better see some battletoads in the season finale
Logan Sanders
this is not autism
Leo Rogers
It's most definitely just an error, we've seen other flashbacks where Anne doesn't have the leaf or stick. If you want to explain it in-universe you could just say that Anne just remembers that moment with herself from the present, if that makes sense somehow.
Connor Harris
Not the point of your posts, but I love how in HP is about Anne just being another one of his kids. They could've just said it in one episode and left it at that, but they kept on dropping these really sweet moments like that through out multiple episodes.
gearbest.com/game-accessories/pp_009776167905.html?wid=1433363 A Gocomma is $13.99 plus a dollar or two for shipping and holds 400 games before hacking. A cell phone, which Anne does have, can cost anywhere from $100 to $400 bucks. Less if it's pawn shop or just stolen.
Lucas Young
Where do I go to catch up with this show? Is there a MEGA folder or a vimeo channel with all the episodes?
Chase Williams
kisscartoon?
Connor Howard
See
Jace Powell
lmao youre like the fourth person to ask that in this thread
Samuel Gomez
Not any more or less than dipper
Ryan Lee
love you drawanon, gonna treasure that maddie.
Carter Perez
More like 8 a week. Nothing ever goes right for HP.
Let's try and predict the finale >The banquet is actually a ruse that was designed by Sasha to lure out Anne >When we get to see Sasha again, she'll be decked out in armor >Montage of Sasha and Annie being friends as the latter explains to Sprig who the former is >Incoming conflict of interest between Anne and Sasha >Frogs get continuously mistreated by the Toads throughout the episode but Anne gets special treatment >Ending has either Anne rejecting Sasha's proposal to join her which leads to Sasha sperging out which in turn leads to the burning of Wartwood and the enslavement of it's inhabitants >Or Anne joining Sasha after learning HP purposefully sabotaged her only way home which still leads to the burning of Wartwood and enslavement of its inhabitants >Marcy teaser at the end or as a post credit scene
Or the burning down of Wartwood is at least prevented but the situation is still bad.
Lucas Adams
What's with the Blood Moon?
Gavin Garcia
s-source?
Jordan Thomas
This was my prediction from a couple days back that I'll just condense and edit a bit. >Anne, Plantars and Wartwood citizens attend the banquet hosted by toads (Sasha is put in charge of hosting) >lots of tension between frogs and toads >at the banquet, Anne reunites with Sasha, big happy moment, the two catch up, etc. >Sasha invites Anne to join her, says she can be treated with respect and live comfortably until they devise a way to get home >Anne isnt sure, Sasha starts manipulating and guilt tripping Anne into joining her >Anne reaches her boiling point and explodes on Sasha for being a shitty friend in front of everyone >tension between frogs and toads overflows; fighting and chaos ensues >Anne reaches out to Sasha but Sasha ditches her and escapes >episode ends with a heartbroken Anne comforted by the Plantars, relations between the frogs and toad as messy as ever >Marcy teaser at the end I get the feeling we might not come back to the music box for the rest of the season. We don't know a whole lot about what this banquet entails but the writing is on the wall for how Anne and Sasha's reunion will turn out and it doesn't look like it'll be pretty.
Just part of the decor, for now. On other nights the moon looks relatively normal. Would be interesting to see them bring it into the plot somehow, though.
>Your friend blindfolded you? >Oh, yeah. But it was all in good fun, you know? I mean, we had been fooling around every time we slept over, but Sasha said she wanted to "spice things up a bit" >Gosh Anne, it sounds like your pals were taking advantage of you! >What, no! If anything, it was a big step up! Usually Marcy would always get carried away, and I'd have a bit of trouble walking around at the diner the next day, but Sasha convinced her to take it easy. Said the blindfold made things more "stimulating", whatever that means.
There's just something fucking magical about their little wide openfrog mouth shapes. It's instant kino. It almost feels like cheating but I don't even care. Gimme more.
Autism is associated with an inability to read social cues, sensory overloads, and obsessive tendencies. Obviously it's a spectrum but these generally occur frequently.
Levi Martinez
>"... Anne, did your parents ever talk to you about Stranger danger?" >"Silly Hop-Pop. Sasha and Marcy were not strangers, they were my friends." >"Good Frog, I think we need to teach you what true friendship is all about. Polly, get me those "my small equine" storybooks Sprig is too ashamed of admiting to read."
Jonathan Scott
That smug fuckin' smile on Sasha is just perfect.
John Powell
Not only feels but heals. Is anyone else slowly feeling their heart unbreaking after the Star Vs. fucknale? Healing just a little? Almost ready to love again?
Love our frogs and our autistic little Thai brat?
David Moore
This show basically gave me trust in cartoons again after the dumpster fire that was season 4 of Star vs
Leo Mitchell
>Star: user, do you hate me? >user: Nahh. I don't hate you. I was just very disappointed in your ending.
Benjamin Hernandez
thinking about the sprig siren from snow day always gets me
I just realized, Anne turning into a bird would have actually been nightmare fuel over the long time. There are birds that eat frogs. So who knows what would have happened if the curse went on and her mind had become even more birdlike
Is this show going to heal the wounds Star Vs left? It feels like it.
Jackson Long
Was Star Vs really that bad? I didn't like Pilot enough to follow, so I have no idea.
Robert Richardson
based
Aaron Nelson
yes, Star starts "mediocre with potential", but then burn out said potential in mid run and after that the writers didn't really know where to go, many plotlines were started then cut nearly immediately, or forgotten/retconned by a finale made out of 90% exposition/twist/deus ex. You can't even pretend some part of it where "good" like Korra and the animation/secondary characters plots. Star just crashes and burns
Jason Gutierrez
Anne being the dumb as rocks straight girl in the group of horny lesbians is fucking hilarious. I like the idea that she's so straight and dumb that Sasha and Marcy were unsure whether the other is gay or just as straight and dumb as Anne at first. Then as soon as they found out they both started taking their sexual frustrations out on her. They probably make it into a game, the first one to wet Anne's sexual spaghetti gets to wear the strap. They are probably waiting on Anne to have a sexual awakening so they can all go down the yuri rabbit hole together. Anne probably gets all hot for boy bands and shit, and the others just nod along as they eagerly awaiting the day she starts talking about girl groups in the same way. This shit writes itself.
Election process in Amphibia is fucked. For some reason the entire island gets a vote on who gets to be mayor instead of just the citizens of the actual village.
>anne and sprig kiss >sprig turns human like the frog prince >worlds merge >anne no longer has leaves in her hair >human sprig and anne rush to the chest >chest explodes >all hope is lost until they see each other and say hi to each other Holy shit!!!!
>"drama" It doesn't have much focus and only Ivy seems like an option at least.
Julian Gray
But it does not weigh hugely to the major part of story. Ivy and Maddie are more like Sprig's normal friends rather than involving them into romance drama.
Dylan Wilson
Matt seems to be a Nintendo nerd. He used the reference of blue shell from Mario Kart before.
Leo Wood
Yeah, both Star Vs and Gravity Falls constantly had this fucking tired 'main character pines after another character' will-they-won't-they bullshit that was never resolved satisfactorily and usually distracted from the other actually good aspects of those shows. Amphibia has done an excellent job of sidestepping that entirely.
Gavin Morgan
That's a pretty based approach so far. Why even indulge the shippers, they can work just fine with whatever scraps of chemistry they find. And if you hardly develop the relationships in the show they won't complain about their otps being ruined.
>Anne gets the Master Sword and keeps it at the end Wow, that Rayearth user was actually right in a way.
Also since were close to the next to last episode, decided to post this dumb idea I drew earlier this month on here before these threads go into a deep hibernation.
>inB4 somebody questions me on how this would even work I figured Pure Heart Valley would be in the same universe as Amphibia, just very far away.
Just confirmation the team did intend to have one episode a week.
Michael Brown
>Ah, who am I kidding, I’ll eat it Great delivery on that line, and Anne enjoying eating bugs more and more is one of the funniest running gags
Lincoln Hernandez
why is always showing off his chest he doesnt have a shirt on just an unbuttoned jacket
Leo Harris
You forgot Rise!Leo. He was always hittin em with the dab.
Parker Baker
Finding out that Anne is athletic gives more context to her personality and why she has some tomboy mannerisms and wears boxers and a sports bra but is still plenty girly in a lot of other ways. Was pretty typical of basketball-playing girls I knew, at least the ones who weren’t full-on lesbians.
Ryan Hill

RATINGS: Disney Channel's AMPHIBIA Scores Strongest Week Yet
>In its 4th week (week of 7/8/19), Disney Channel's "Amphibia" grew for the 2nd straight week among Kids 6-11 (+1% - 137,000/0.57 rating vs. 135,000/0.57 rating) and for the 3rd consecutive week with Tweens 9-14 (+15% - 99,000/0.41 rating vs. 86,000/0.36 rating) to its strongest week of the series.
>Thursday's telecast of "Amphibia" capped off the week with series highs among Kids 6-11 (160,000/0.67 rating) and Tweens 9-14 (114,000/0.47 rating), ranking as the No. 1 program in its 10:00 a.m. time slot.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves chief. Better to let things end on a high note than force plots where they don't belong, like a few certain other shows
Better a two season wonder than a Star Vs. Bad Writting.
Brody Butler
>Anne and Sasha reunite amid the tension between the toads and frogs >barely an hour passes before they come into conflict over their new social dynamics >Sasha is having none of Anne's willfulness, has her taken to the dungeon (or analogue) while the amphibians start to have it out >Anne asks why Sasha is doing this, why she doesn't value her real self >Her pleas go unanswered as Sasha begins to tease her, first verbally, then physically >She taunts that Anne was so willing to follow her lead before, and that no matter how much she's "learned" from these animals, she's still got plenty to teach her
Gavin Reed
>Steve Wolfhard left after season 1 feelsbadman
Jackson Long
It looks like the ratings are consistently better than those of e.g. Big Hero 6 but not as good as Big City Greens. The question is, how important cable ratings are these days since they keep dropping every year.
Ethan Reyes
Did the plot start yet? Should I even care?
Jordan Harris
I think you're better off watching something else.
Ryder Smith
>Did the plot start yet? Man, there have been plot in the entire show, it's subtle, not in your face. If you want a heavy focused plot cartoon, you're looking in the wrong place, Amphibia does has plot yet it's prefer to give the audience something actually funny and entretaining to watch.
It isn't Netflix format per se tho, as the season was gradually broadcasted in 5 weeks. Netflix format is dropping an entire season in literally one day.
Nathan Perez
Fair enough. I still just assumed that the season was aired so fast that it would go over everyone's heads because it was a new series and wouldn't have the time to establish a following before immediate hiatus. Nice that it did alright though.
Blake Johnson
i kinda like this format Disney used in Amphibia, it's fast enough to get consistent material to talk about with no getting tedious, yet slow enough to don't get into Netflix levels and killing any possible discussion in no time.
Jason Evans
Yeah, that's often referred to as the bomb format. Apparently if worked pretty well for CN with SU so it's no wonder that other networks want to experiment with that gimmick themselves. It looks like modern viewers have no patience, loyalty or time management skills to keep track of new episodes weekly like we used to. Series with even a little bit of continuity might end up airing exclusively like this.
Grayson Davis
>Before Amphibia Ravioli, ravioli, we want to lewd the owl house loli.
>After Amphibia Happy, happy joy joy, turn Anne into Sasha's sex toy. noe one
Anthony Turner
Steven Universe fucking bombed with its schedule. Oh sure, ratigngs were still in, but thanks to overinflation. If anything the bomb format just showed the peole how shit the show was cause people had for months to wait for plot resolutions and then those would suck monkey dick.
David Hill
The SU bomb format is broken as fuck, as it doesn't drop an entire season but just a relevant section of it. So the entire show ends feeling disjointed, fundamentally broken.
Andrew Wright
Is Anne part bird now?
Christopher Allen
That sounds like ADHD, which Anne seems to have.
Nathaniel Morgan
The bird is her fursona.
