Hi, in my last Amphibia review, I said the next one will be on August. But there were too many life problems. Anyways I'm sorry this review has to come out 5 months later. The second last 48 minute Amphibia episode. It's about Anne, her allies either from Amphibia or Earth having to stop King Andrias and Darcy from conquering Earth. Time to tell why "All In" is an awesome special. Spoilers definitely ahead.
Animation: It was amazing, from the battles with many of them being intense and even violent. The backgrounds, whether in Andrias' castle or Los Angeles, were impressive. The character's emotions whether happy, sad, angry were powerful to see.
Plot and Writing: Even more awesome, the flashback at the beginning. To when Anne and her allies plan and prepare to fight against Andrias and Darcy. The Planters overcoming trauma from the herons. Marcy in a fantasy world. Anne vs Andrias. Sasha and Grime vs Darcy. Andria's and Darcy's defeat with Marcy being free. Anne, Sasha and Marcy being reunited, them and the amphibians going back to Amphibia. It's all impressively written and plotted well.
Tone and Music: "All In" is excellent showing how serious and intense the situation is. The emotions as well, like the Planters trauma with the herons, Andrias' feelings and realizations. It was so heartwarming seeing Anne, Sasha and Marcy reunited. The music like K-Pop and the background music were nice treats.
Characters: All great characters. Anne being a great heroine. Sprig wondering if his friendship with Anne will last and the one who convinces Andrias. Sasha completing her character arc. Their allies being a great support to them. Darcy a dark and terrifying villain who is a good fighter. Marcy getting character development by rejecting the fantasy world that the Core put her through and wanting her real friends back. King Andrias, despite being evil, a genuinely tragic villain with a great redemption. Cares and misses Marcy, influenced and abused by the Core and his father to be evil, his fight with Anne and when Sprig reads him Leif's (an old friend) letter, realizes, feels remorse over his evil and lets himself be defeated by Anne.
Conclusion: "All In" is a fantastic 2nd finale that has awesome animation scenes. Great plot where Anne and her allies save Earth. Great serious tone and cool music. Amazing characters with awesome character development for Sasha, Marcy and even Andrias. Overall an epic, action filled, intense, emotional, character growthing and heartwarming episode. It gets a 10/10.
