“Can you miss someone you never actually knew?” Ouch my feels!
Amphibia is such an interesting show. I personally loved it more because of the wacky hijinks and the comedy than because of the dramatic moments, but the ending of Episode 09 never fails to make me choke up. As one of the few who didn't quite feel the emotional gut-punch of S1 E20 (I'll admit it: the use of "Lean on Me" lessened the experience for me), this is the first really heartfelt, sad moment in the series, in my experience.
Hop Pop getting stuck in voice over mode is hilarious, lol.
"Hopping Mall":
If they had paid attention, Sprig would have known what the best item would have been…without having to play the forbidden note….
Even though she doesn't get the teapot, Anne's gift of the butterfly hairclip was sweet.
The ending broke me. Just Anne hugging Sprig and then his eyes welling with tears.
Ah yes, the one where Hop Pop kills a man
It hurts every time. It's realistic though… experiencing an emotional moment like that can really sneak up you.
If you think that episode hits hard, I cannot wait for you to continue
First of all, after "Little Frogtown" we can say for sure that the Plantars (especially Hop Pop aka the Wrecker) are a menace to the entire Amphibia society. No wonder they are so cool about the newt-eating monster from another world hanging out with them😀 Second, "Hopping Mall" was surprisingly heartfelt. "Amphibia" is a light-hearted comedy most of the time but when it changes its tone into more dramatic and serious – it hits right to the point. As for the question – I don't usually cry at tv shows but "Hopping Mall" came close to make me.
That ending just out of nowhere went super sad.
hopping mall never fails to give me chills "can you really miss someone you never actually knew" and the way Anne just hugs sprig and it moves to the end credits it hits me in the warm and fuzzy's.
Who else wanna give Alycia and Sprig a hug? 😢💛💗💗
The episode where Hop Pop just straight up murders a guy.
Amphibia mastered the ability to lure its fans with fun, and then break us.
Spranne against the world.
I cried
Remember when Alycia read the title of the episodes last video? "Oh, they sound like fillers." she said. Just like us… she was entirely fooled by Hopping Mall 😂😭
I cry every time that final scene comes up.
We're finally at this episode, where everyone was unexpectedly hit with the ending. I especially love how Hopping Mall, for the most part, plays out like a normal episode of Amphibia, so the ending (while not completely out-of-left-field) still comes as a surprise, and boy what a surprise we get.
This is one of those episodes that cartoon feels more than just a cartoon, it feels so human. Uhg it always breaks me but makes me appreciate what I do have
Still remember watching the first time and thinking oh what a cute episode, weird that there's a whole minute left… WTF I was NOT ready for that
Thank you for appreciating how adorable that shop keeper is, I have actually cried over him before.
Omg forgot about the hop pop noir episode so silly fun
I know a lot of people think this but I really do have one of the greatest moms ever and we have such a great relationship. It makes me feel that much more sorry for Anne and Sprig's situations since it is hard to imagine what my life would be like if I didn't have both my parents there for me so much growing up. I really do feel for them!
Also the creators said this in an interview ahead of time so I am not sure if it would count as a spoiler. But you brought it up yourself so I have to tell you. It was just a few episodes after this that the creators offically anounced:
"Amphibia is NOT on Narnia time."
This one always hits hard but I’m watching this exhausted after doing work at 2am and it definitely made me more susceptible to the emotion
I find it interesting that the episode just straight up ignores that Hop Pop literally murdered someone.
This episode didn’t seem all that relevant at first, but not only was it entertaining but also pretty plot relevent.
This episode for me is definitely top 10 to me
