How One Episode Changed Amphibia Forever…

[@olleselin]

Since Spring was sharing about his mother's passing with Anne, i know what it's like to loose a parent. I lost my dad exactly 2 years ago. I miss him so much.... 😢😢😢

[@RockinAllDay]

Sorry to hear. Lost my grandpa a while back. Wishing you the best. 🙏

[@hybridvenom9]

Same bro

[@saphiriathebluedragonknight375]

I lost mine too. Sure I have my step-dad, but it's not the same.

[@wesleyingraham1368]

I'm sorry to hear I know how hard it is to lose someone

[@Duckmodiusyt]

I also know I lost my mom when I was 6

[@upumpkin]

For those who missed it, Anne gives her mom the butterfly at the end credits of the christmas special.

[@Medjic3]

@@upumpkin I was rewatching that episode yesterday and noticed it

[@alysssabear]

Time to go rewatch Amphibia again for the hundredth time

[@KAT-jn7uw]

@@alysssabear OMG SAMEEEEEEEEEE

[@savy7555]

I never skip this episode and love how we actually see her give the butterfly to her mom in the Christmas episode . I still cry at this line "can you miss someone you never actually knew?"

[@abareamphibia6812]

“Hopping mall” was an amazing episode, it also shows how amazing amphibia is it can have an episode with a silly story, but has an ending that can touch your heartstrings so much, seriously the fact they don’t play the normal credits music at the end shows how much the ending hits

[@seigel2289]

This episode was the first piece of animated media that made me cry as hard as I could. I cry every single time I rewatch it. It's incredible

[@AlyxZeigler]

When I first watched Amphibia, I almost dropped it after the first 10 episodes, but I decided to finish the first season because I wanted to see if the show would go anywhere. The season finale really gripped me and made me decide to give the second season a chance. Hopping mall felt like a big turning point in Amphibia and it made me realize that I hadn’t payed attention to my family in a while. After the epsisode ended (and my eyes full of tears) I dropped everything I was doing at the moment and gave both my parents a hug. It probably weirded them out, but I didn’t care. Amphibia is now my favorite animated series of all time because of its characters and themes, and this video really captures that. Thanks for the video and I’d love to see more about the silly frog show!

[@Plushimator]

The last minute is pretty genius in writing, using the last line of a hardest thing and Leif's letter. I personally learned nothing, but that's gonna hit hard for someone else eventually. Bravo dude. *Oh no I killed Sprig*

[@misfits9294]

My Amphibia perfect episode is Toad Tax, because it really kicked off and embodied the main themes of the show and Anne's character. But also my two Amphibia hot takes are: I always loved the filler episodes and think s1 is severely underrated, and I think Reunion is better than True Colors.

[@ai_izi]

Well, in Reunion we got Sasha trying to unalive herself, and in True Colors we got pain, a lot of pain

[@avch1209]

What would it have been like if, like with Marco, when Anne arrived on Earth, her mother was pregnant? Anne: Is it a boy or a girl? Mrs Boonchuy: I think girl Anne: I will have a sister! (later in the epilogue Anne and her little sister train just like Gohan and Goten)

More amphibia vids, please this was so good, and the show it's self is amazing

[@FearlessGamer27]

Honestly, I think Amphibia perfectly exemplifies the impact of the journey over the destination. We often look over the journey as just a “in-between” point that doesn’t matter, but often times crazily important things in our lives happen in just small little moments. You may not see it in that moment, but you often realize it when looking back on your life, the impact those small moments had on the entire trajectory of your life.

[@DavidRamirez-ne3jw]

Dang, i was not expecting the video about the silly frog show with occasional deep and philosophical messages to end on such a deep and philosophical message

[@FriendShapedPlant]

I definitely agree with this being a Very Impactful and Perfect episode. My maternal grandparents died when *my mom* was still a young kid. I often forget its "normal" to have two sets of grandparents. I think about what I know about them sometimes, and my mom is big on ancestry, but this episode, Sprigs line "I've always wondered if you could miss someone you never even knew," fuckin. Oh man. I don't cry over shows often but this got me. It's a highlight in a show about relationships of all kinds, connecting and severing them, growing with and past them, how complex they are. Grief is love with no where to go, after all.

[@mrgreenskypiano]

Love with nowhere to go, and the knowledge that you and they will never feel that love again. … Both before and after I started to believe in an afterlife, I kind of struggled to figure out what the big deal with grief is, until now. Thank you, stranger :)

[@socks456]

Amphibia community might be smaller but its impact is alive and well🤎

[@JustAguy006]

In terms of Amphibia episode that’s self contained and really embodies the show as whole, I’d say Wally & Anne. This is a character driven episode and focuses on a pointless side character before this episode, giving Wally some depth and Anne some development as well as establishing her relationship with Wally. Yeah it would help seeing the other episodes that included Wally to see what makes this episode good but I think it’s good without prior context. It hits all of Amphibia’s best qualities (Good characterization, solid humor, nuance messages, good character dynamic, & emotional moments). Anne can relate to Wally being an outcast and their journey to discovering that, but also the common ground that being different was okay, is what makes it my perfect episode that isn’t plot driven or important.

[@pisgremlin7846]

@@JustAguy006 yess 100% it’s probably my favourite episode

[@Myclops21]

The only time I ever busted a tear is when I watched the hardest thing that was the only time all other heart touching stuff. I just took it like a champ, and watch it with a straight face

[@Ago2007]

i don't know why but this feeling it's incredible, i felt like this when i have seen the ending of the season 3 with an old friend and now it's strange. i'm happy and sad at the same time, i don't know what to say other than thank you to give me this feeling. I really want a hug now.

[@Nobody-hj4pr]

Similar to this, my favourite owl house episode is reaching out, lumity,, goofy eda, king and blight twins shenanigans, and the biggest gut punch any piece of media has ever given me, incredible.

[@ai_izi]

yeahh, King's Tide and Agony of a Witch are awesome but they aren't too good, but Reaching Out is fu----- perfection, it is the magnum opus of the show

[@The-Coven-Head]

This videos ending though... I'm not crying your crying! 😭

For once someone agrees with me hopping mall is goated

[@giasca]

Ngl, this video is making me want to rewatch Amphibia more than before. I don't know why I didn't do it yet

[@ratz.theguy]

Amphibia is the type of series to make you feel like watching the most brainrot or emotion you can depending on the episode.

[@burningsock4768]

it absolutely is, and i am 100% on board with that. sometimes we need to watch something that makes you question what you are watching, like how many Season 1 episodes are.

[@user-of2lb7ek7b]

11 days after his bday and mines was just today ... not exactly what I expected but this video was for sure a gift

[@dotMPN]

Incredible video, you turned in words the exact feeling I got watching this episode for the first time. It is very special to me. That way the episode send you the real thing is instantly shifting all your feelings, it make you understand life in a certain way, the importance of connections and bonds. It is so deep and it is the episode who made me fall in love with Amphibia and the way it was written. Thanks for this. Hope to see more content about it !

Thank you so much for making this video and for reminding us about how important our relationships and the love we share with each other is in our lives. Time may cause us to lose those that we love now but finding new people to share our love means that no matter what happens we are not alone and always have someone who cares about us. I’m am glad to be a subscriber to your growing community of 50.9k. Keep up with the great work and hope to hear from you soon with another great video.

[@Y.Binmad]

20:30 got me off guard

[@fabrizziod.porras8001]

I knew it. I wasn't insane. Excelent video, my friend. The series was already very good from the beginning, but it gave a tremendous turn with the confrontation of Anne and Sasha and the development of their relationship being one of the most important points, besides the musical section, animation and photography that is sublime, hehe. But where it ended up conquering me completely was Hopping Mall, a chapter that seems episodic and helps to contribute to advance the story, but ends up being a chapter with emotional tones and levels, external and internal, how Anne feels around this world and those who inhabit it and their relationships, especially with Sprig. But it makes us remember that she wants to go home and contrary to series of this type (when the main character goes to another world to have a better life and blah,blah) she improves to achieve that goal. But the heavy stuff comes when she remembers her mother at home singing and she starts crying and hugs Sprig, who is upset that he can't remember hers, and finally breaks down. That hit hard.

[@HopeGeorge-wi2kj]

"how could you miss someone you never knew?" I STARTED TO CRY

[@Ag3nt-MC]

1:53 that spider sprig statement is so unbelievably accurate

[@lauraholmes2402]

Sprigs line hit like a punch in the gut. His mother hadn’t been mentioned up until that point and suddenly she was dead, it was such whiplash

[@lightbringer_lol5876]

I will preach this to the moon and back. There is no such thing as filler in shows like Amphibia. Filler is a term designed for Anime, designated to episodes that were added in to slow the rate of production of the show so they would stay behind the manga. It is impossible for Amphibia to have an episode like this. All episodes people deem to be "filler" develop characters, build relationships, or just generally develop our knowledge of the world. I say this as someone who much prefers plot-based shows over episodic shows, and to an extent, character-driver shows, this so called "filler" is some of the most important parts of Amphibia.

[@TENshu-beyond]

Great video And i agree And also I love the bit with you talking about the subscribing and danm the ending just danm both ending’s also I would like more of amphibia

[@Facinliar]

This moment with Sprig may be the most relatable moment for me out of all fiction. I know what it's like to lose your parent at the very young age - i lost my mum, just like Sprig, when i was 8 years old. Like Sprig, i also wondered can you miss someone you never actually knew, but of course you can.

No offense to those who seen the episode hopping mall, but I don’t get why people cry to that end scene. Yes, it is sad but it’s not that sad. Like I said before the only other time I ever cried to the series to an episode specifically is the hardest thing every other episode that has a sad scene. I just watched it with a straight face.

I believe, especially as a first time viewer, skipping "filler" episodes makes the whole show less impactfull. The ending but also hopping mall hits so hard BECAUSE we see Anne and Sprig grow closer together through "meaningless" adventures and strenghthening their bond. If I would only watch the plot episodes the whole crew wouldnt mean that much to me and the ending wouldnt be as bittersweet as it is
