In my absence, I didn't do much, quite frankly but I'd like to share what I've been doing and that is... watching The Amazing World Of Gumball. Or Gumball, in short. So, why this and not Spongebob? As of late, the new episodes of Spongebob looks like his on crack. The jokes are fast but rarely hilarious and the grossness factor has been taken up a notch (Not good in my books).
Why do I favour Gumball then? The 2D & 3D styles are mixed very well in the show and it completely fits the weird and wacky town of Elmore where residents from all walks of life, well... reside. From the T-Rex known as Tina to Gumball's eccentric classmate Banana Joe, the characters never cease to entertain.

The episodes are pretty well done, backed up by some terrific voice acting from the cast that further flesh out the Gumball's world. Some episodes even feature subtle references to other pop culture works of art (Episodes such as The Helmet and The Colossus).
From the wide roster of characters in Gumball, my absolute favourites are:
 |
| #1: Anais, Gumball's four-year-old genius sister |
 |
| Because she's adorable and often advises Gumball what not to do (obviously, he doesn't listen) |
 |
| #2: Darwin, the family pet fish that sprouted arms & legs and joined the Wattersons |
 |
| Because he's innocent, loyal and very naive |
 |
| #3: Bobert, just 'cause |
As far as cartoons go, this is the only show I'm watching and it's my favourite right now.
