Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake

Having been a huge fan of Adventure Time since I was 12, this one is pretty nostalgic to me. I remember watching an episode of Adventure Time back then on our family television (I think it was "Trouble In Lumpy Space") that lured me and the whole family into the series. It's got everything a child could ever dream of: adventure, princesses, and all things mathematical!

Other than that, Adventure Time had always been so great at telling their stories, with character arcs that just make sense and are so raw that gives the antagonists of the story their own character development which makes you love them more. Each and every character are unique in their own little way.

Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake tells the story of the two titular characters who gets stuck in the multiverse that is told so perfectly and alters infinite realities massively. The creators are never afraid to test our their abilities to further expand the stories and how literally anything could happen. So far, "The Winter King" and "The Star" are my favorite episodes of the season -- and I am craving for more. I already love Gary and Marshall Lee's storyline, as well as Simon and Fionna's dynamic.

Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake completely blew me away! I never expected Adventure Time to get an adult-targeted spin-off, but I'm so glad it did - and even more glad that it didn't disappoint.

Right from the very first scene, Fionna's dream sequence had amazing animation that set the tone for the rest of the show. And that quality stayed consistent through every episode - rich colors, smooth motion, and striking visuals that bring the multiverse to life in a whole new way.

What I really loved was how Fionna and Cake aren't just fictional characters written by the Ice King anymore - they're actually traveling across the multiverse and heading to Ooo! That shift made their journey feel more real, more emotional, and much more engaging.

Seeing Finn as an adult caught me off guard, but I adjusted quickly and loved how he was handled. The show gives us just enough of the original characters - like PB and Marceline (their tattoo scene was the perfect reintroduction!) - while still focusing on new stories and personal growth.

And I caught a clever detail: when the human version of Lumpy Space Prince appeared, his name was Ellis P. - a neat nod to the acronym LSP. Loved that!

The bus scene was also a huge highlight, packed with so many fun references to Adventure Time - I even spotted what looked like a human female version of Fern! These small touches made the show feel like a love letter to longtime fans, while still being fresh and bold.

Also, I liked how Prince Gumball's real name is Gary - it fits the character in a funny, grounded way.

This series perfectly balances nostalgia, humor, emotion, and mature storytelling. It expands the Adventure Time world in a way that feels meaningful and respectful, not forced. It's one of the best spin-offs I've ever seen.

I'm loving it, I remember watching some episodes of adventure time lot of time ago and recently got invested into it again, and woah, the whole show is a ride from start to finish, you can really see how much love was put into it, about this new spin-off, it's different, but in a good way. The first 2 episodes that came out are a total banger and they differ a bit from the adventure time episode formula, but still keeps it amazing.

From now on, there'll be some spoilers, so you'd better go watch the show before reading the rest of this review.

The show is rated TV-14, there aren't lots of swear words (there's some gore in the 2nd episode) but what makes it more "adult" are the themes in the show I think.

Its so cool that theres more adventure time! This is really good so far. First episode reminds me of Bee And Puppycat a lot. If you've ever seen that show same vibes but way better, plus you get to look for and identify all of the normal-universe versions of the Fionna and Cake characters. Its kinda confusing at first what universe we are in and how they connect but i'm sure that will be explained over the course of the show. I was worried at first that this show would state that all of the original adventure time was just a dream but i think its gonna end up being more complex than that. Grown up Finn is so cool and funny! I love him. Its cool to me that the story arcs have gotten longer overall from standalone 10 min episodes to 8 episodes arcs to an almost hour long finale and distant land episodes. Now this series builds on all of them and looks to be a continuing arc with 25 min episodes. So excited to see where it goes!

I remember watching the pilot for adventure time back when I was just seven years old in 2010. I remember seeing the first episode for this amazing show. It's crazy to believe how much backstory and lore there is about this show. Every episode was important because it either gave us more information about a character or it introduced a new character. What I liked about adventure time was that no matter what happened there was always an adventure going on and this show has so many References that its amazing how much I know about this show & the new series is really good I mean I understand it's only 2 episodes but its Amazing. I honestly feel like Im 7 Years old again witnessing a new show for the first time. But the show grew up with all of us like its crazy that we get to finally hear the characters curse. Its honestly something that I should cherish. I'm happy that I get to watch a sequel to this show. I'm currently 20 years old and I am Happy that its still relevant. So I give it an 11/10. Thanks Pendleton Ward for making this show what it is today.
