    Love it

    BEST episode so far maybe im bias because i love richard but this was definitely the best episode we have had so far it was funny interesting and entertaining. Also so far the animation has been so much better and much more enjoyable to watch. Maybe the thing is the friends weve made along the way..

    Getting better!

    I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. The concept is entertaining, the animation is incredible, and the voice acting seemed to get a little bit better this time around. It still doesn't quite feel like Gumball, though. Sure, this episode could definitely pass as an original episode, but the execution is off a bit. I just can't put my finger on it.

    Also, that part with Granny JoJo was just weird. Not sure what they were trying to convey with that; it was unnecessary and gross.

    disappointed

    Feels like a worse rendition of the fuss, the episode where he forgets the anniversary. Feels like a worse rendition of the fuss Feels like a worse rendition of the fuss Feels like a worse rendition of the fuss Feels like a worse rendition of the fuss. I'm so disappointed. I'm going to bed and watching this tommorow.
