Even though I like Gumball and someone giving it some positive attention, Enter could've really summed up this review as "Gumball is awesome because X, X, and Y, go watch it" if he didn't want to discuss this episode at length to "spoil it."

Enter was agreeable for the most part, but this was just pretty dull to watch. Yes, Gumball is nice. No, you don't need to spend 7 minutes telling us repeatedly that it is nice.

I'm a big fan of Gumball (if it wasn't already obvious, given my name and avatar), though his review didn't exactly make me want to watch that episode again. I will say that he seemed to genuinely praise the episode though, without resorting to "this show did a bad job of X, while Gumball did it right because potatoes" too much. Of course, he can't go one fucking video without mentioning how bad Spongebob is, but for the most part he at least talks about what he's supposed to be talking about. That's a step in the right direction.

AS someone who actually likes Amazing World of Gumball and could sperg on and on (just NOT here.) in an overall positive review about it (for the most part, as there are plenty of episodes I could bash for being terrible, jut for showing some balance, like a good critic should aim to, which Entard is fucking NOT.), this is just NOT what I'm looking for.

I can tell by not even watching the damn thing that no matter how much he praises this one episode, Entard has no clue what he's doing.

What's worse - he's right about one or two things, like how not every cartoon needs to tell some big story to stand out in a positive light - or how everything needs to be serious to reach out to more than just kids! COLD HARD TRUTHS that "cartoon spergs" (I refuse to call them critics anymore...) like Entard himself, still don't fucking get!

Too bad his ego, his hypocrisy, and his fantards keep me from taking any of his word as something to agree on.

Oh, and I can't wait to see him whine like everyone has for the upteenth time about how every education system in the world that isn't the US doesn't suck compared to the US... Whiner.

This is one of those videos where Mr. Enter makes good points and I generally agree with him, but his writing of the review is such shit. It's both uninteresting to listen to, and irritating. The way he slips in the jokes is annoying. It's one thing to frame it in a way of "This is a sample of the humor in this show so you can judge it yourself". But it feels more like he's just so overly excited about how much he liked the episode that he's retelling the jokes because he can't contain himself.

He's setting a theme for next month: Education. This'll be a doozy.

I thought The Shell was beautiful when I first watched it. Though the way Enter put it isn't doing the episode any favors.

So, next he's going to be reviewing pre-school shows.

I think Enter is regressing, guys.

I'm just imagining him sperging for half an hour about Dora The Explorer being racist, or something.

What if Enter is tackling shows (or episodes of shows) that are universally considered stupid even by (already low) preschool show standards. Do such shows exist?

Not that he'll do his reviews justice anyway, but still, something to think about.

Like others I'm not going to sperg about Gumball (all the styles of animation give me the biggest art boner) but just like @Shokew said it's pretty obvious by now how his Admirable Animations go. They differ from the norm, usually have beautiful animation and... Well that's about all he says so you better go listen and watch it!

If there's one thing I hate above all else is Enter, despite it all, can't even get passionate about the things he considers the best. He can't even praise something correctly. It really is like he's just glazing everything over and giving a brief summery. Could you possibly BE a more boring individual?

As for this education month, this looks like it will be a riot. He'll praise Arthur and probably a couple other of his childhood cartoons and then call Barney or other shows bad because they're targeting kids that probably just learned to spell their name. Plenty of bully stories, Autism excuses and blaming the public education system for everything wrong with himself. I'll be damned if there ISN'T at least one off topic bitching video.

My opinion on Gumball is pretty mixed. I like some of the humor, and I love the animation.
This review? He spends all the time sperging over how good the series is as a whole, instead of focusing on the episode.
I think the issue with this review that he was trying to both give a brief overview of Gumball as a whole and this episode in particular, which ended up being extremely scattered and lacking in both qualities.

Frankly, with the way Enter was trying to structure this, he should've just done an Admirable Animation covering Gumball as a series, using a montage of clips from different episodes and explaining what he likes from each one. That way, he'd have a variety of clips to showcase Gumball's wacky universe, the unique and varied animation styles, and highlight jokes in particular that he likes without spoiling the episode that they're related to.

Well the last time he did an educational show was Arthur and seeing as how that review turned out, oh god.

Also as for this review, it dull and boring like other said dose not make me wanna watch gumball (which I really like for the record). All enter dose for his admirable animation for the most part is just a lifeless Wikipedia like summary of the episode, all them are really just dull and lifeless. If enter was a good writer he could do a short review of the episode without being a whole plot summary, just giving a spoiler free quick review of the episode or better yet he could do a review of the whole show rather then just one episode at time.

But he will never do something like that.

Let me predict, his "education" month will either be him ranting about preschool shows or whining about how school sucked for him.

While I admit writing a positive review of something is less fun than a critical review, this doesn't excuse the fact that he can't write positive criticism (or any criticism at all, to be fair).

A whole rant could be written about how terrible his choices are for "admirable animation" as well.
