Fun, Heartfelt, and Well-Crafted

This is one of the high points of the series, in my opinion and many others'. We learn the beginnings of our favorite sentient fish while also being completely engrossed in the hysterical shenanigans within the Watterson household.

One of the many things that I really like about the episode is the attention to detail by the animators in every frame. They really brought the essence of the past to life down to the tiniest details.

This episode does not lack in comedy at all. It brings some of the funniest scenes in the entire series. And although the story is obviously silly, it still has an emotional impact, illustrating the indestructible bond between Gumball and his best bro.

The only thing holding me back from giving this episode a 10/10 is that it shouldn't have been split into two parts. This show never had a 30-minute special episode, and this was their opportunity. Other than that, bravo.
