Adventure Time is an awesome show about Finn and his friend Jake as they adventure in the post-apocalyptic world of Ooo. The planet is missing a large chunk, Finn is the last human, and Jake is a magical shape-shifting dog.
There is also a teenage vampire with a sexy, sexy voice who's male equivalent, shown in a kind of alternate timeline that has a good laugh at fanfics, can seduce both men and women with a whisper alone he is THAT sexy. The whole show is intermittently somewhat scary or fucked-up. But also quite awesome.
It is quite obvious that Pendleton Ward, the show's creator, is a big nerd. He clearly took many, many pages from RPGs, specifically D&D. The show is notable for referencing cubes, bear lore, the eight schools of magic, and an endless cavalcade of fucking memes. This is probably why some fa/tg/uy chose to add this page here.
Adventure Time started out as a simple "random is funny" cartoon but to its credit is basically invented modern "random is funny" for cartoons anyway. Add a grim and dark background to a colorful and funny show and you attract the kiddies and adults alike! The thing most people don't see though is as other shows have mimicked is formula with mixed success, Adventure Time has actually moved away a little from the pure random and now big episodes seem to be mostly split into two groups. The artistic (or batshit insane depending on your point of view) or the extremely serious and dark. For example fin in the most recent episode as of time of written struggles with depression. Yes, the main character of a kids cartoon has to struggle with depression after losing his girlfriend, having daddy issues and becoming mutilated. So grimdark. Shockingly enough they actually do the best job of representing this stuff then any other media, not overblowing it to shock or make you have feels, but gets to the core emotion and feelings that others just ignore.
Overall if you like the silly but also awesome you'll like Adventure Time. If you want something new, edgy and takes dark risks, you'll like new Adventure Time.
Plus, the Demon Cat of Approximate Knowledge would be an awesome creature to fight.
To sum up Adventure Time nicely, imagine what would happen if Spongebob Squarepants and Hunter S. Thompson played a game of Dungeon World.
