Crouton turned me on to this fun little animated series about a year or two ago now, and I think it's one of the freshest things I've seen on television in a long time.
I love its art style and the deceptively simplistic story telling. It looks and plays like a mere children's cartoon, but it's actually a clever mishmash of apocalyptic sugar land and bizarre scenarios driven by equally bizarre - yet somehow very human - characters. Seriously, no description does it justice. You just have to watch it to understand for yourself.
I was thinking that it would be cool to resurrect that Adventure Time thread that Crou started on another forum so that anybody who loves this show can talk about it to their heart's content. You can never have too much Adventure Time discussion!
First, feast your eyes on this.
Okay, let's open this discussion with a question. For those of us who have watched this, who's your favourite Adventure Time character, and why?

Is it even a question Eph? Could it be anyone but Marceline? Not for me.

Marceline is a great character! But you haven't explained why she's your favourite (although I do have an inkling as to what you might say here).

Because I have a super weakness for badass vampire chicks? Because I love her voice, both speaking and singing, because she is super queer for PB, and not only in the fans minds for once, but actually on the show as well. Because she survived for thousands of years and has a really depressing back story which strengthens her character. And well... I could go on.

I've only seen a few episodes so I don't know names but I like the dog dude cause he's voiced by the same guy who did Bender in Futurama

A lot of that I didn't even know, so it's going to be fun watching the episodes where that all comes to light! I've only seen a few episodes so I don't know names but I like the dog dude cause he's voiced by the same guy who did Bender in Futurama Ah, that'd be good ol' John DiMaggio who's voiced many a cartoon character in his time. He's even had a role or two in different live action dramas and movies, so he's quite a versatile chap.

He's also done a few video game voices I think.

Yeah I think so. I've never played those games.
