Adventure Time: Season 3

I've heard some people say that Adventure time jumped the shark with season three. I disagree completely. Still, season three is a slightly different beast than the first two seasons. It has evolved from relying more on surreal, at times non-sequitur humor of season one, to really developing a world and the characters. Don't get me wrong, the quirky humor is still there, but the world building that occurs over the course of the first three seasons. For a cartoon that is not above the occasional fart joke, it creates a surprisingly rich universe and compelling characters. Season three features a wide range of emotion from laugh out-loud humor, to straight faced drama, often finding a happy medium between the two. There are even episodes with few jokes which are downright unnerving, though nothing that I think most kids couldn't handle emotionally. Unlike many cartoons that are suck in one period of time, the characters do age and learn and grow as people. Just as Finn grows older, the show has changed as well. There are episodes that simply wouldn't have happened in season one or even in season two. And the show continues to evolve. There are episodes in seasons four and five that would never have worked the same in season three. Adventure Time may not be a show for everyone. Some people may find it too much of a fast-paced sensory overload, but it also takes its time. There are mysteries that may arise in one episode that may not be addressed until seasons later. This may be frustrating for some, but I find this aspect of the show one of the most enjoyable parts of it. It makes it worthwhile to rewatch previous episodes and look forward to what's to come.

I'm very glad that this DVD has been announced. First and foremost, I am excited that we don't have to wait until the summer to get this one (the last two DVDs were released in July 2012 and June 2013, respectively), and I hope that Cartoon Network will realize that they should start releasing the rest of the seasons soon! From what I can tell, this set is very similar to the second season. It will include commentaries for all the episodes, as well as a mystery featurette (the details haven't been release on that yet). From what I've heard, Pendleton Ward and co. were trying really hard when they recorded the commentary to not have any "orange juice" moments (this was their code word for comments that were either spoilery or considered inappropriate), so I'm hoping the commentaries will be a bit better than they previously have been. As for the show itself, this season is fantastic. While I don't think it's as good as the second or fourth season, this year was a big one for "Adventure Time"; the introduction of Fionna and Cake, the revelation of the Ice King's backstory, and various holiday episodes made this year one to be remembered. Stand-out episodes include the aforementioned specials like "Thank You", "From Bad to Worse", "Holly Jolly Secrets", and "Fionna and Cake", as well as the sorta-controversial "What Was Missing" (the birth of Bubbline), the dark installments like "The New Frontier" and "No One Can Hear You", and finally, the introduction of Flame Princess in the finale, "Incendium". This is a treat for all "Adventure Time" fans! Buy it, and hopefully we can get the rest soon!

I love Adventure Time. I started watching it with my children, at my 11 year old son's urging. However, it has become a show I now watch on my own, over and over. I think, the underlying relationship between the primary characters (Finn and Jake), is a bond that makes the show so special. They genuinely care about each other - in a confusing, challenging, weird and non-linear world. Nothing makes traditional sense in the world of Ooo, but, underlying this weirdness are two characters facing the world with bravery, as sense of justice and compassion - even for their arch enemy. All the weirdness is just fun too.

This is the best season of Adventure Time in the entirety of its lifespan. Season 2 follows pretty closely in its footsteps. After season 4 I probably wouldn't bother. Season 5 does have its moments but definitely marks the downfall of the franchise. Highly recommend this one. Plus the BMO arm and leg attachments make this DVD case a wonderful decoration for the house.

If you're buying this set, chances are you know what you're getting yourself into. Another solid season of a very enjoyable show. The transfer is gorgeous and colors really stand out thanks to the blu ray format. The extras supplement the show well. My only wish is for an option to automatically skip the opening and closing themes when you're opting to use the "play all" function. I know some people call heresy on that, but a few episodes in and I find myself eager to skip opening themes, regardless of the show.

There are few things in life that when they happen, the whole world is listening. This show is one of them... Nothing beats a show for adults without Adult themes. This show has a positive message for kids in an insane fantasy world. The only thing missing from this show is a sucko.. Never mind. The Show is unstoppable. Anyone who gets offended by this show should re evaluate their choice of WalMart shopping and abortion.

I've loved Adventure Time since I found out about it, but the more I watch it, the more I care about everything; the characters, their relationships, the history of the show. It's pleasant for so many age groups and is just so quirky and original, there really is nothing like it and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Adventure time is the best cartoon ever made. My Little Pony has nothing on this masterpiece of animation and whimsy.

ディスクでの再生も問題なかったので、他のシーズンもまとめて買う予定。映像も綺麗だしほんとに買って良かった。

A very funny and cute cartoon. My kids loved it and still watch it to this day. It may not always be kid friendly as some of the humor is more adult based, but the cartoon itself is well done and has lots of moments that will make your kids laugh. We especially love Bemo! Cute and always trying to help, but doesn't always work out the way she wants it too. It is a very funny cartoon and I would recommend buying this season of it. The seller was very good too as the package arrived early and in great condition.

Adventure Time is my favourite cartoon. It never gets stuck in a rut, which is incredible after seven seasons. (This is the third one, of course.) I like the art, and the characters, and it feels like it has a real "soul". It can slay me with laughter, and then later have me smiling just because the show is charming and wonderful.

新品と思って購入したのですが、紙のカバーは破れて一部は欠損しており、ディスクのプラスチックケースも破損していました。 ディスクは再生できましたが、期待していただけに残念です。
