‘amphibiland’ (‘Amphibia’ in its original version) is a series created by Matt Bralywho already has experience in the animated world having participated in series such as the aforementioned ‘Gravity Falls’, ‘Steven Universe’ or ‘The Greens in the big city’, in addition to films such as ‘Turbo’ or ‘The Mitchells against the machines ‘.
THE 10 BEST SERIES OF THE DECADE (2010-2019)
An isekai with frogs
Anne Boonchuy is a teenager whowithout eating or drinking appears in a mysterious world inhabited by talking amphibians. She soon becomes friends with Sprig Plantar, a friendly toad who, along with her sister Polly, a savvy little tadpole, and her grandfather, the doomsayer Papa Hop, welcome Anne with open arms despite her misgivings. the rest of the amphibians. But Anne didn’t get there alone: her two friends have disappeared and she will have to look for them all over Amphibiland…
Based on this premise, Braly presents us with a story that has many points in common with the isekai (anime genre where a character magically travels to a fantasy world that is not his own) that It has already aired more than 100 episodes.
The strong point of the series is its simplicity and its dynamic rhythm. Being 10 minute episodes (with some exceptions), they are easily eaten and are perfect for any time of the day. It combines an episodic structure, of self-conclusive chapters, with the background plot (the one about the search for Anne’s friends) achieving a good balance between new plots and continuous plots, which are the ones that make you not lose interest and want to know what is what will happen next.
Another remarkable aspect is his sense of humor, with which it is impossible not to smile and start more than one laugh. Is about an accessible humor for the young sector but so ingenious, with moments that sometimes border on the macabre that manages to surprise and shows that it is not necessary to be scatological or rude to reach the adult public.
The characters touch your heartwith their quirky personalities, their silliness, their blunders and their small advances, so they are not completely static but have the ability to evolve and learn new things.
‘Amphibiland’ is yet another example that there is a lot of talent working on Disney animation series, although it may not be enjoying the popularity it deserves. You can check out the first two seasons on Disney+ and catch up on season three, which is currently airing on Disney Channel.
