Amphibia (TV series)/Awesome

 OuMysCU98dQ Ribbit, Ribbit, Amphibia...

General

 * Anne Boonchuy's Character Development. She goes from a selfish, slightly spoiled teenager to a capable young lady. You won't believe that the Anne in the pilot who insists that real friends do whatever their best friends want, no matter what, is the same one that politely declines the Cosmic Guardian's job offer by saying that she is not perfect and makes a lot of mistakes.
 * How each episode adds up to the overall narrative. Matt Braly revealed that there are no filler episodes, and he is right, excluding a random one like the Grubhog.

Arcs

 * How the town of Wartwood goes from seeing Anne as the creepy monster that showed up on their doorstep to one of their own. It gets to the point where they nominated Anne as being Frog of the Year!
 * Sasha charming her way from being Grime's prisoner to his second-in-command and eventually his best friend. He even admits that he's impressed by how wily and devious she is, sincerely saying that's what makes her a great person.

Individual Episodes

 * "Anne or Beast?"
 * Anne, from what we know, hates the outdoors. "Cane Crazy" also revealed that she spent her time in a cave with lots of bugs, which she also hates. Nevertheless, she devised traps and kept herself alive for several days in the Wartwood swamps. One of them catches Sprig.
 * When a mantis threatens a tied-up Sprig and Anne, she at first runs to leave Sprig. Then her conscience gets the better of her; she cuts down Sprig and hides with him under a mushroom. Sprig immediately declares that she's a hero.
 * When another mantis threatens the Wartwood residents, Sprig quickly unties Anne and frees her from the angry mob. He tells her to run while he deals with the mantis. Instead, they work together to tie up the beast and rescue everyone.
 * Sprig stands up for Anne against the mayor. He says that she needs help, and is not a monster. Hop Pop agrees to take charge of Anne.
 * "Best Fronds"
 * How Sprig defeats the lake serpent going after him and Anne. He dives into its mouth, which starts to smoke in a few minutes. The serpent roars and spits out Sprig, along with fire. He reveals that he pocketed Hop Pop's pain peppers, which are "so hot they'll make you wish you were dead." They take the time to swim out of the area.
 * "Cane Crazy"
 * Loggle tries to charge an arm and a leg for the map. Anne takes a photo of it. Tech-savvy teen beats old-fashioned haggling.
 * Polly attempts to fight the Doom Tree using wooden legs. She's already fairly savvy even with lacking legs.
 * Doubling as heartwarming, Hop Pop refuses to kick Anne out for breaking his heirloom cane by accident. He instead assigns her to dish duty for a month. Sure he thinks Anne is sassing him and being ungrateful, but he understands that she's adjusting.
 * "Flood, Sweat & Tears"
 * Hop Pop saved Anne's bag and stuff from the leak in the basement. He knew how important that was to her.
 * Despite the fact that they've been driving each other nuts by being roommates, Sprig and Anne quickly focus on the lampreys that try to eat them alive. They use their teamwork to get rid of the flooding in the basement, and drain out the lampreys as well. Once that's done, Anne and Sprig admit that they aren't agreeable roommates.
 * Hop Pop gets one. When Sprig and Anne wonder if they can still be friends after fighting, he says wisely that being honest for the first time in days has strengthened their bonds.
 * "Hop Luck"
 * Anne to get cheese for the pizza helps herd a bunch of cow-like worms for Mrs. Croaker.
 * When the tomato plant seems close to digesting the Plantars and Anne, Hop Pop says the book notes that tomatoes are delicious. They end up eating their way out.

Arcs

 * In hindsight, Andria's plans for the whole season. Season three confirms that he knew about the box's powers the whole time and created this mystery quest for Marcy to draw her and the Plantars into a false sense of security. It played into Marcy's desire for adventures and puzzle games. His plan ended up working like a charm, so that none of the heroes knew he was evil until he revealed it. (Sasha and Grime realized something was up, but they were still antagonists at that point.)

Arcs and General

 * Matt Braly originally asked his mother to speak a few lines as Anne's mother in season one. She gets to show off immense character range playing Anne's mother, going from a stern concerned mom and restaurant owner to a badass driver that takes on Andrias's invasion with glee.

Individual Episodes

 * "The New Normal": The way that the Plantars and Anne fend off the killer robot in the grocery store, while hiding it from the Boonchuys. When the freezer section incapacitates the Plantars, Anne quickly activates her Super Mode. Also, the robot is invisible, need we mention?

Music

 * Amphibiland, the pilot for the show, uses an instrumental version of Rather Be by Clean Bandits in half of the pitch.
 * The intro, Welcome to Amphibia, is quite the instrumental that people can ribbit, ribbit, jump on in it. There is also the vocal version sung by Celica Gray, which helps add a country flair to the music.
 * There is also the remix for Season 3 that shows changes after major plot points.
 * No Big Deal is a rock song played and sung by the Calamity Trio and culminates Anne's Character Development in Battle of the Bands.
 * Heartstomper is Sasha's rock theme that's sung by Anna Akana that showing her dominating character.
 * Game On You Stinky Space Bugs or One Last Hurrah is the climatic interpolation of No Big Deal played as the Calamity Trio in their Super Modes have one final fight with the Core.
