frayadjacentMr. Adjacent and I recently watched the Cartoon Network miniseries Over the Garden Wall. It is lovely and sweet and cute in a good way, and at times surprisingly dark. It's fairly complex in its themes, though it's not as deep as Steven Universe. The animation is gorgeous.
If you're interested, here's a song from one of the episodes. There are no spoilers and it showcases how endearing one of the characters is. Though there's a lot more to the show than that.
I'd give Over the Garden Wall 8/10, which in my mind is a good score; I don't practice television grade inflation. It loses points by not having enough female characters and by using a couple of overused tropes, though it puts a fun twist on one of those in the end.
Also it's comprised of ten 11-minute episodes. Which is so manageable!
I'm thinking this will be a Festivids nomination for sure.
