Gumball has become so popular that China has produced their own rip-off show. The previous clip of Gumball in anime style helped inspired fan-animators to do their own rendition of the show, including a high production hentai parody (or so I’ve been told). This one fight scene between two moms was animated by an Anime studio. Gumball also experiments with different art styles.

Take the clip above for example–where Gumball’s family have a pantomime car-chase as they argue over a check for $5000. While Gumball is not an action show, the comedy does occasionally escalate to something worthy of an action film. The characters are brutally honest about difficult aspects of life. The creators of Gumball do an amazing job of delivering jokes that are more than just funny. My opinion went into full-throttle reverse after I watched an episode called “ The Question” where the main characters try to discover the meaning of life.Īfter that episode, I became hooked on the show.

I originally avoided watching The Amazing World of Gumball because I had it pegged as another random psychedelic cartoon. I know I won’t be the first one to say that cartoons have gotten pretty weird. When I was growing up, cartoons would be about a dog who solved mysteries, or a kid with a secret laboratory, or a boy with ghost-powers. In contemporary cartoons, those three characters would be roommates living on Mars and ordering pizza from a T-Rex.
