From "Marceline's Closet" all the way back in Season 3. Might be relevant to the upcoming episode "Ketchup".
Hm, no I don't believe so. That one was always envisioned to be a multi-episode self-contained arc. Originally, plans for an AT movie coalesced during the end of production of Season 4. In the end however, the storyboarders involved admitted it was "too all over the place" and took story concepts from it to create certain episodes of Season 5.2 (probably why Season 5 in general has the most episodes contained within than any other season). Later Pendleton Ward himself decided to take a stab at writing up a story treatment for a movie. The thing has been in limbo ever since.
Woah, hell of a callback.

ABSTRACT:
As Jake goes through some personal changes, he's haunted by a sinister dream encounter with his brother Jermaine.
BMO and Marceline swap stories about their recent adventures.
An unexpected critic shows up at Ice King's latest Fionna and Cake book reading.

Finn's not taking the new Jake well, looks like.
There's an article about the show coming back at The Nerdist.
It includes another preview clip, this time from "Ketchup".
It also suggests that the episodes (or maybe just Abstract) will be available early on the CN app (and possibly On-Demand services?) on July 14th.
EDIT: confirmed by the King Of Ooo blog that all episodes will be available online on Friday

It is with great pleasure we can humbly share the release date for the second episode we got to work on for Adventure Time, entitled ”Ketchup"! We had an amazing time animating and directing three sequences this time, each of which has a different tasty, tasty flavor I think you guys will enjoy.
Mega-hyper-hugelarge props and thanks to the incredible Matt Cummings (Whom you can follow here, here, and here), who was a dream to direct on the BGs, and art-jammed with us on the above promo image!
Thank you so much to the whole AT team and especially Adam Muto for giving us such a great opportunity once again and making it such a special event.
Please watch the Adventure Time episode, ”Ketchup", starring Marcy and Beemo Tuesday July 18th!
Thank you so much!
Love,
Lindsay and Alex

The episode Islands Pt. 4 - Imaginary Resources got an emmy nom today for Outstanding Short-form Animation!
Up against some stiff competition (and Teen Titans Go) so I wonder how they will fare.

Ouch. Lol. I've started to enjoy that show more but I guess I'd have to agree...depending on which episode it is. TTG is about to have a special next month in an animation style of a previous episode that I loved.
Also, that is awesome for Adventure Time. Good for them

I feel OTs should keep track of other relevant threads for future rereading.
So here is Why(and when) did Adventure Time drop off in popularity?

Final title card released:
Hoo boy, these last five episodes. I don't have the time right now to go over them but it certainly seems like they're trying to tie up all the loose ends from earlier seasons.

Wait what, this is the last season?
Oh boy, I need to catch up!

So, in regards to the Fionna episode
What's the thought behind that one? Was Fionna and Cake a TV show from pre-mushroom war that's somehow still being beamed from old satellites and Ice King picks up through his warped mind? Pretty meta, because that means Fionna and Cake is the actual Adventure Time show of the Adventure Time universe
Technically season 8 just ended with these five episodes. Season 9 starts whenever and has 16 episodes.
No, these are season 9 I'm pretty sure. Islands is the finale of season 8.
Yeah, for awhile. You missed a whole other miniseries between the episodes airing now and that.
Goddamn I need an alarm for this shit.
I went back and slightly redid the OPs of this thread and the season 7 OT thread to reflect the new changes CN has made to the episode lineup in a bid to make sense of it. I prefer the original production order myself but what can you do? Season 7 now ends at The Thin Yellow Line and S8 begins and ends with Broke His Crown and the Islands mini-series. Season 9 "officially" begins with Orb and will ultimately end with the AT finale when it airs.
It was nice to see all the episodes up on Sling this morning. Good set of episodes, but it seems that
Ketchup was real heart-warming. Also Three Buckets
the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Finn went to a place he thought he'd never go by killing Fern, even if he is evil and has been since Grass Sword.
Yeah, three buckets is definitely the most interesting of the new batch of episodes. I really didn't see it going there.

I want to think it is being beamed from another dimension but your theory is also very possible, I hope they have at least one more to wrap it up, maybe a team up

Such a good cameo.
Another good episode. I wonder why Marceline didn't just tell B-MO that was her mom.

Fern stuff was cool though but I don't have any faith that they'll
Pretty disappointed
knowing that this will soon be the end,
seeing how they handle stuff like the Lich sucks. That's it? After seasons of teasing and what not they just, have Sweet Pea kill him off? Really? The Lich?

follow up the cliff hanger in any meaningful way.
I mean, did
you really want another Lich retread? We've been down that road like four times in various ways.
I feel like it was something that they felt they had to address at some point since the Lich was such a big character, but I'm glad they didn't make it another multi-part arc or anything again

Honestly? Yes, he's my favorite character by far and I feel that
for all they built him up and his grandeur in the series, he deserved far far better
That was genuinely the shittiest way they could've wrapped his story up. Oh well
at least he got a few more badass lines before getting fucked over.
The Lich got more extended time than literally any other villain in the series by far, and was the main antagonizing force through three separate season finales.
I don't really know how he deserved more than that, unless you just wanted every season to have an extended Lich saga lol. Which, fair enough if you did, but I'm glad they didn't go that route

I know that. But the creators meant for these episodes to end season 8 so fuck what CN says lol

For all that build up and for what a terrifying force the Lich was don't you think he deserved to go out better than being killed by a massive toddler in an instant?
I'm content with the way they handled the Lich. Seems appropriate to have sweet p win out over him. Plus, I almost see this more as an epilogue to the Lich stuff - his true defeat was in that other dimension when they introduce Finn's dad.
It's funny, the Lich has appeared lots now and he always gets defeated super easy. I do wish they had done more with him in later seasons cause he's so awesome and always has ace dialogue.
Lol@how blue Jake amounted to nothing.

Wait a minute Fionna & Cake was TV show that was beamed into the Ice Kings head this whole time? MIND BLOWN
Love it.
That's the way I understood that, possibly a pre-war cartoon that is somehow still being broadcast on a loop?
Well, I mean, all that was left of him was his hand and all
So I've been pretty lost on Adventure Time. I came across a set of episodes last week where something happened and the four elements went crazy on the planet and FP and Bubblegum et al went all primal but then Lumpy Space Princess saved the day and Jake went full Alien at the end. Otherwise, think the last episodes I had seen that I remember well were when the King of Ooo took over Bubblegum's kingdom. I think I've seen some random episodes n other spots but not within any part of the narrative I remember well. The King of Ooo storyline was the start of which season? Was the "bomb" I described part of this season? Is this the last season? I'm pretty lost to be honest.
Season 6 ended w/ King of Ooo winning the princess election in a landslide victory (among other things that happened during, y'know things like a comet coming to smash into the planet). Afterwards a series of shorts were released wherein one short lightly touched on P-bub's "banishment" and then the plot thread picks up again w/ Season 7 until the end of the Stakes! mini-series. Check out my S7 OT here, I compiled a list of episodes and I've got links to the shorts online if you want to watch them. You'll have to find the episodes on your own (should be available on VOD services).
The "bomb" you saw was part of the mini-series "Elements" which aired first not too long ago. According to CN it's now the Season 8 finale. Check the first post in this thread for the episode list (maybe watch Season 7 first though, gonna be mild spoilers in the OT).
And yes, technically we are now in the final stretch of the last season.
