Nothing that should scar kids or offend parents. One scene showed Gumball losing his clothes, and in place to cover the special spots, was that pixelated box that shifts and changes color with movement. The show is unbelievably cute at times as well as so funny that my parents have even laughed at it. Eighties-style music can be heard at the end. They sported big, colorful glasses, leg warmers, and sweaters. One episode, called The Sweaters, brought new characters in, dressed like teenagers from the eighties. There was a scene where Gumball is fighting his brother, Darwin, but they've become pixelated and are jumping into the air with robotic moves. The show ha made several references to other things as well. Dialogue helped make this show as funny as it is. But you have to listen to the dialogue, for jokes are hidden in almost every sentence, whether they be hilarious or simple tings that make you smile. The camera zoomed in on the one Gumball was calling, but as it did this, his side of the screen got bigger and bigger until Gumball was crushed on his end, morphing his face into a goofy-looking thing. As an example, Gumball was calling someone, and the screen split into two to show the ends of the line. She has a scientific explanation for everything that her "dumb" brothers can't understand. Finally, you have Anise, the youngest of the family and for some reason, the smartest. He often talks Darwin into helping him achieve his goals. Darwin is the one that usually has moral views and wants to do what's right, whereas Gumball wants the same result but reaches it in a more troublesome way. Their troubles are usually accidental and good-natured. Gumball, the protagonist, is always getting into trouble with his walking-fish-adopted-brother named Darwin(an ongoing mystery to the series: Where did Darwin come from?). Her ways of doing things for her kids is something that's not seen very often in the real world, so although she's fantastical, her views are good. Speaking of Nicole, the blue cat, she's a workaholic that will blow up on someone at any given moment. Richard, the father, is a gluttonous, pink rabbit that does nothing but sleep, unless his wife Nicole says otherwise. The family is quite cliché, however, but they manage to be cliché in a new way. The list is endless and new things are being discovered in every episode, whether they are costars or hidden in the background. Simian, the ancient, ill-tempered monkey that is a teacher a CGI tyrannosaurus rex named Tina a peanut with antlers named Penny. Small, the school counselor that's a hippy Mrs. Then you have a variety of personalities, such as Mr. As an example, the burglar is a walking fingerprint. They're inspired from everyday thing, too. Characters are created in many ways, such as traditional animation, Claymation, stop-motion, CGI, pixilation, and even puppets. It's a children's show that somehow reaches older ages as well. So far I give The Amazing World of Gumball an 8.5 I'm looking forward to seeing more of this unique style in the future. I don't really see anything that bad for younger kids like I do in shows like Regular Show and the adult humor is subtle enough for kids to not know what they're missing. This show is still pretty new and obviously has a lot more to offer, but from what I've seen it's worth watching a few episodes. I can remember as a kid actually getting into some of the fads Gumball and Darwin do. The family is pretty close to real life too. They all have individual character traits and it's really interesting to see all these animation styles really blend together. And another could be an 8-bit video game character. One character can be traditionally animated but another can be done in CGI. Each character has a different animation style. What I find really appealing about this show are the characters. Together they get into all sorts of unbelievable situations around their house, school, or city in general. And their sister Anais who is a child prodigy at four years old. Gumball and Darwin are your average pre-teen boys who have all sorts of weird interests and misconceptions on girls, adults and life in general. Nicole who is a typical workaholic mom with a short fuse but deeply loves her family. You got Richard, a lazy stay at home dad with good intentions but small intellect. The show follows the Watterson family, mainly Gumball and his adopted brother Darwin, and their misadventures. The show takes place in the fictional city of Elmore inhabited by talking animals, animate objects, tyrannosaur, talking peanuts, and other weird things you wouldn't even expect to live together. The Amazing World of Gumball is one of those shows I looked at and said, "How can anyone like that?" But like other shows on Cartoon Network it surprised me to see it was actually a well written show.
