Adventure Time - Angel Face Review

First up, we have Angel Face storyboarded by the duo of Somvilay Xayaphone and Seo Kim. It begins with BMO making a bunch of Special Sentient Sandwiches for Jake to eat, in exchange of becoming a horse for BMO's Live-Action Role Play (or LARP) of the Robot Cowboy 'Angel Face' hunting down the outlaw 'Jackrabbit Johnson', played by Finn.

Unbeknownest to BMO and the others, an actual bounty hunter mistook Finn as the real outlaw and attempts to turn him in for the reward. BMO nonetheless continues her role play and it was revealed that the person who kidnapped Finn was none other than Me-Mow himself.

(Or was it herself? I don't think Me-Mow's gender was ever stated other than the character is voiced by Kyla Rae Kowalewski, also known as the voice of Anais in Gumball)

Thanks to BMO's quick thinking, he was able to free Finn while keeping Me-Mow distracted, allowing Finn to knock the former assassin out. Me-Mow is then imprisoned in the Candy Kingdom and vows revenge as Finn, Jake and BMO head home. But not until they encounter an armadillo who also mistook Finn as an outlaw.

The current season of Adventure Time continues its trend of returning to its roots and allowing more comedy and adventure for the dynamic duo, though in this case, the adventure part is on BMO, but it's all good. It's also nice to see a familiar face back again after a long time. In addition to Me-Mow's return, NEPTR also made an appearance explaining where he's been the last time we saw him in the show.

At first I was a bit worried that BMO may have created another personality after Football, but this one does seem as though BMO is simply role-playing the entire time. The episode also has a short song number, and while it's not written and composed by Rebecca Sugar, it's not bad at all.

I am surprised that the opening scene shows BMO making these living sandwiches that will end up being eaten by Jake. Strangely, the sandwiches kept on smiling as they get eaten alive. This isn't one of those subtle messages the staff at Adventure Time use to bypass the censors. This is completely out in the open that a living being is being eaten! I guess considering that in Gumball, Anton gets eaten a lot for comedic effect, the same applies here with the sentient sandwiches.

All-in-All, great episode and a great start for this week's "AT-bomb". Looking forward to the next one.
