Hey, they gave it an A! Also, shit, no more Adventure Time reviews. That sucks.
Oops, you're right. I looked at the wrong score.

But back to your point about the review, I think this right here is a big reason I enjoyed it, though, like you, it might not have registered at the time:Oops, you're right. I looked at the wrong score.
AV Club said:The Battle Of The Bands is intended to make Finn forget his sorrows, and while it does bring him joy, none of those tunes are as enchanting as the faint song he hears from Music Hole’s cavernous mouth. When he finds her, she tells him that her voice can only be heard by two kinds of people: those that view the world with pure childlike wonder, and those that have a deep of loss in their hearts. Finn doesn’t think he fits the childlike wonder criteria, and it’s a telling line regarding how Finn views himself. He recognizes that he’s not a child anymore, and one of the main indicators of growing up is this sense of loss that he’s feeling more and more often. There’s the loss of his father, the loss of his arm, the loss of the Finn Sword, and the compounding pain of all these events weighs on Finn and gives him a new, more adult perspective of the world.
Princess Bubblegum and Jake want to wipe away Finn’s bad feelings, but they don’t understand that the only way for Finn to move forward is by fully processing these feelings and working through the deeper issues that are feeding them. Music Hole helps him do that with art, and through their shared sorrow they are brought together to give each other comfort, which they feel when they join their voices together in song. It’s a really beautiful message from writers/storyboard artists Polly Guo and Andres Saraff, and Eli Moore’s song for Finn and Music Hole captures all those rich emotions in a short but meaningful tune. This episode hits hard by the end, and committing to that undercurrent of melancholy elevates the story, which would still be really good if it was just Adventure Time characters singing and having fun.

Not only was this my first time boarding with a partner other than Tom, but it was my first time boarding with Adam Muto which I was very excited for. I can’t believe that I didn’t do those two little portraits of him and me on this promo drawing like Rebecca used to do.
I haven't seen this series since Jake lost his arm, should I just watch everything or is there anything I ought to skip over?
I pitched these drawings and a rough outline to Adam early 2014. A lot of the stuff stayed and a lot of the stuff changed for the absolute better, (although I still want to use that exchange between Moniker and Charlie one day.)
In the pitched outline things start out as you saw in the episode but by the end things were nuts, ending with a giant holographic pig flooping the whole island. “Pig floops you” I wrote.

Yeah I wish I saw this post sooner. I just watched the Chips and Icecream episode.get a summary of S6. Watch from Stakes onwards. S6 was....kind of awful.

That episode is amazing.
An Emmy Nomination for Adventure Time
Congratulations to cast & crew for their fresh Emmy nomination—their seventh consecutive—in the category of Outstanding Short-form Animated Program. The nod goes to the episode “Hall of Egress.” Kent Osborne, Jack Pendarvis, Tom Herpich, and Ashly Burch came up with the story, and Tom wrote and boarded it. Andres Salaff was the director. The stiff competition is made up of Robot Chicken, SpongeBob SquarePants, Steven Universe, and The Powerpuff Girls. Cheer for the team when the trophies are handed out in L.A. on September 18.
Season 9 confirmed?
I'm really worried about this show being cancelled tbh. But if Season 9 is confirmed, than thank god for another 2 years.

The theory is August 6th although the chances of that seem slimmer and slimmer

Yeah, I don't know why they do this, it's incredibly irritating.Yeah I'm confused too. They went from airing new episodes very consistently, to a more Gravity Falls like approach of "whenever."

Well, at least it's not ending in the next two years so I have that to look forward to :/They do this because, sadly, AT is no longer a top priority show for CN. That, and this type of scheduling is pretty common for children television networks.
Are the ratings for the show that bad?Yup. You can tell AT has fallen out of favor with the network.
I don't think it's just about the ratings. It's also the fact that CN moved onto other shows like Steven Universe & Teen Titans GO!Are the ratings for the show that bad?
Completely out of left field, Cartoon Network Africa's Youtube channel uploads the final Frog Seasons short:

It's a shame they release new episodes so sporadically. I gave up a long time ago because I couldn't bother. Is it the creators' fault or CN?
Anyway, season six on Blu-ray is a sure buy from me.
Okay, what the hell is going on with this show right now?
Last two episodes still don't have an air date, and its been over two months since the last episode.
Ugh just air the finale already!
