Adventure Time: Season 4
Q**N
The Best Season of "Adventure Time"
Sometimes, a show will start out one way, and then begin to change for the better. An excellent example of this is "Adventure Time". The show began as a quirky story about a boy and his dog living in a magical post-apocalyptic wasteland. As the series progressed, the focus shifted from non-sequitor humor to character development. No where is this more on display than this season. Without a shadow of a doubt, the fourth season of "Adventure Time" is my favorite year of this series.The season begins where the third left off: the introduction of Flame Princess. From there, the first half is your standard AT fare (we get the introduction of the Graybles, but other than that, these next few episodes are mostly OK). Then, starting with the Nightosphere two-parter and then really clicking into gear with "Gotcha", the season starts to examine the lives of B-list characters, like Lumpy Space Princess ("Gotcha!"), Magic Man ("Sons of Mars"), BMO ("BMO Noire"), and Lemongrab ("You Made Me!")In the last 12 or so episodes, some of the all-time best episodes were made. In "Sons of Mars", Finn journeys to Mars to meet Abraham Lincoln and stop Magic Man's nefarious plot. "Gotcha!" is arguably the single greatest Lumpy Space Princess episode ever made, wherein she becomes Finn and Jake's adventure secretary. Ricardio returns in "Lady & Peebles" and we get to see PB be a total badass. Gunter goes bananas in "Reign of Gunters, and finally, Lemongrab returns for "You Made Me!" and we get to see why he ticks. The last one in particular is sad-but-happy episode that I feel encapsulates the very essence of the series.And then there's "I Remember You", the season's penultimate episode. When I first started watching the series, I NEVER knew it would have been able to hit the emotional notes that this episode manages. I shan't spoil the plot (those of you who have seen it know what goes on, and those of you who haven't are in for a treat), but I will say that it is probably the show's finest episode, and a testament to Rebecca Sugar and Cole Sanchez's storyboarding abilities.And then there's "The Lich", featuring the return of the titular villain. It's a fantastic way to end a fantastic season, bleeding right into the magnificent season 5.I assume the extras will included DVD commentary on all the episodes, as Jesse Moynihan (a storyboard artist for the show) seemed to confirm this on his Twitter awhile back. As for the rest, I guess we'll just have to wait and see!All-in-all, this season is amazing. If you are an "Adventure Time" fan, I urge you to pick up this DVD and support the brand. And since Amazon can be kinda bad about posting what episodes are contained on this disc, here's the 'track listing' (anything marked with an asterisk is just a personal favorite of mine. Be warned, as about half the season could be counted among my personal favorites!):1. "Hot to the Touch"2. "Five Short Graybles"3. "Web Weirdos"4. "Dream of Love"5. "Return to the Nightosphere"*6. "Daddy's Little Monster"*7. "In Your Footsteps"8. "Hug Wolf"9. "Princess Monster Wife"*10. "Goliad"*11. "Beyond This Earthly Realm"*12. "Gotcha!"*13. "Princess Cookie"*14. "Card Wars"*15. "Sons of Mars"*16. "Burning Low"17. "BMO Noire"*18. "King Worm"*19. "Lady & Peebles"*20. "You Made Me!"*21. "Who Would Win"22. "Ignition Point"23. "The Hard Easy"24. "Reign of Gunters"*25.

Damaged Blu Ray case
Blu Ray arrived damaged and made it difficult to close the case completely. Had to use a replacement case. Thankfully, the disc itself and the inserts were unharmed.

What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for? No wait,WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?Once in a long while or two, something comes along that's a piece of life’s puzzle. That piece exponentially helps you find the next. Adventure Time is it.I can't tell you how many times I watched it for a minute or two only to switch to something more comfortable “Regular Time, Murdoch Mysteries, etc”. I finally looked it up on Wikipedia, I was dumbfounded that a fairly intelligent (needs clarified) person as myself missed this gem for so long!Adventure Time is like a child growing up. Everyday something is learned, lost, amended and cherished until that one moment that it all comes together, that “voilà” moment! It might take you 15 episodes or 3 or whatever, but it will come.I could go on for hours (people my age, 62 tend to do that) about Adventure Time but alas, you are busy and I need to place my Season 4 Blu Ray (don't ever settle for DVD in cartoons if BR is available) in my player, select my 60” Plasma and 5.1 sound and go to a place of magic!What are you waiting for?

A Must Have For ANY Adventure Time fan.
I am a big "Adventure Time" fan (thanks to my son for getting me hooked) and was glad when this came out for purchase. It's great that Cartoon Network is almost caught up with the recent release of season 5 by the way! It's a great way to binge watch AT because it seems that Cartoon Network only cares about Uncle Grandpa and Teen Titans Go these days. I feel like they don't care about Adventure Time anymore, which is a shame because it's light and funny enough for younger kids to watch but has enough deep, dark things that older kids and adults can pick up so they can enjoy it as well. I recently viewed a You Tube video counting down the best recent cartoons and Adventure Time was number one! So as for this DVD set, I don't really care if it has bonus content or not. I just care about the episodes and now that I own them to watch any time I want to, I will do just that.

Dissapointed. Bummer.
Love this series. Disappointed with Amazon. I paid full price for a new dvd and received a obviously used dvd. The disc is fine. The sleeve and case are damaged and worn. Trying to get credit for the difference (new vs used) has been painfully impossible. Only return/refund/hassle available. (via automated customer service robots). Other ordered dvd in series was shrink wrapped. This dvd was not. Signs of wear on edges of cardboard sleeve. Large scratch on sleeve that goes through to plastic case. Totally bummed.

I'm in love with this cartoon series and one thing I love ...
I'm in love with this cartoon series and one thing I love is that every season seems to be crazier than the last. I can't make up my mind if I'd recommend watching it with kids or not. I mean for me I'd be fine with it but I could see where some parents wouldn't be okay with that. I love the adult humor in this show but at the same time it takes me back to being a kid and watching cartoons on a Saturday morning. I love the colors, the characters and just the world that they live in. It's just overall a really fun show to watch and this season has me laughing constantly.

Things are getting serious
One of my favorite seasons of Adventure Time I am very glad they released it in full. I am tired of having to get like 3 volumes before getting the actual season, so I suggest waiting for DVD's like this to come out at least if you can wait because it takes a while for these to come out. A lot of interesting and fun adventure happen in this season. The worst part of this season is that it ends in a cliff hanger and now you have to wait for the 5th season to come out or get the Finn the Human DVD volume that contains the 3 part episode.

No lo recibí por un problema de mi tarjeta
La temporada se identifica por el noviazgo de Finn y la Princesa Flama.Pues tenía muchas ganas de adquirirlo pero lo cancele porque lo iba a pagar con otra cosa y no se acreditó el pago completo. La idea era reordenarlo junto, pero tristemente subió de precio.

marceline the vampire queen
the case is a bit worn out and ragged on the corners but the disc's themselves are perfect. I was absolutely thrilled to have found season 4 as it's hard to find and the ones out there are stupid expensive. season 4 is my absolute favorite, "remember me" is on the second disk.Marceline, is it just you and me in the wreckage of the world?That must be so confusing for a little girl.And I know you're going to need me here with you.But I'm losing myself, and I'm afraid you're gonna lose me too.
