I really loved this show. I loved the animation, and it was just so much fun. The show even though the animation style was kind of over done at the time, where it felt classic yet new. The story was where it really stood out for me especially that it was definitely a show meant for kids, but it played to a late teens, to mid 20's audience. This is kind of a much tamer version of Twin Peaks which is my favorite show of all time. Thank you once again for the wonderful content.
Thank you for your comment! I think a big part of what I love about the animation is all of the backgrounds and how they made the setting feel so realized that it helped it stand out from other shows too. Such a fun time to get to watch the story unfold.
They had a _general_ idea of the overall plot when they started, but most things in season 1 were established just for the funsies. However, because Alex Hirsch strongly emphasised continuity, they _kept track_ of every character and every thing they had established - and when they started writing season 2, they were able to look back at all of it and pull the elements that would perfectly fit into their plot to the foreground and imbue them with greater meaning. This makes _Gravity Falls_ perfect for re-watching, once you know the entire story. You can look at season 1 and see both the seeds being planted early and also the things that _clearly_ didn't mean yet, what they'd come to be later on.

I've seen every episode of Gravity Falls. It's one of my favorite TV shows. Great video!
Thank you! Glad you've seen the show too

Very cool to hear how much care went into making the show and that they got to run with it for some bigger ideas for season 2
