Grime is definitely the kind of character I could imagine having a field day designing on day one, then come out happy with it. Sprig, being a major character right away, would probably go through a lot of design changes.

I remember Matt Braly has mentioned one thing he's sad about is how he wasn't able to keep the same grimy, dark fantasy aesthetic to Amphibia as a world. Disney demanded it be more whimsical and inviting but this pilot always made me think that a more "low to the ground" and lived-in world would've been really fun.

@@MrsStarrySky The thing here is that it's really hard to support these shows internationaly. Is cannot afford a VPN nor Disney + for different reasons, but still, watching these shows internationaly is really hard. For example, I really, really love Infinity Train, it is my second favorite show of all time, but I cant watch it legally. I have to watch these cartoons in English, sometimes without subtitles, so, basically, only me and one of my friends watches Amphibia, at the least the new episodes. Btw, the dubs are really terrible. Gravity Falls is okay, Gumball and Adventure Time too, but The Owl House is horrendous! Another curiosity, we only got to see the first 8 episodes on February of this year, and only 6 new episodes were dropped last week. Good Luck, we need it a lot!
