Amphibia

Amphibia is an animated series created by Matt Braly for Disney. It premiered on June 17, 2019 and ended on May 14, 2022, lasting three seasons. It is my favorite animated series. 
== Plot ==
The series primarily focuses on Anne Boonchuy, a Thai-American girl who ends up stealing a magical music box that leads her and her friends to Amphibia, a different dimension populated by anthropomorphic talking amphibians. She ends up in the frog town of Wartwood and ends up befriending and staying with the Plantars, consisting of Hop Pop and his grandchildren, Sprig and Polly, the former of which Anne becomes best friends with. Meanwhile, Anne's two best friends from the human world, Sasha Waybright and Marcy Wu, end up in different locations, being Toad Tower (populated by ruthless toads) and Newtopia (populated by newts) respectively. 
== Other media ==
The most notable piece of side media to be released based on the series is the book Marcy's Journal: A Guide to Amphibia (which I own!) which is a physical release of Marcy's journal seen throughout the series. It contains other stories, mainly focusing on Marcy, that place throughout the series. 
Alongside that, a large amount of short films have also been released based on the series and two entries in Disney's Theme Song Takeover series, where Sasha and Marcy break the fourth wall and give more insight on their doings during Season 1. 
Characters from the series also appear in Disney's Chibi Tiny Tales and Chibiverse series.
The series also has a canon crossover with fellow series The Owl House, in the form of a panel hosted online at San Diego Comic-Con in 2021, making the two shows coexist in the same multiverse (likely alongside Gravity Falls as well) 
== In relation to me ==
Shortly after its announcement, I preordered Marcy's Journal before even seeing the full series because I already was planning on watching and didn't want to miss out on a potentially limited time book. I also bought a Team Marcy shirt before watching the series. 
I began watching the full series during the first week of February of this year and finished before the end of the month. I absolutely loved the series and it quickly became my new favorite animated (non-anime) series, a title that was previously held by The Owl House. 
After watching the series I also purchased a physical of Anne's shirt she wore during the first half of Season 3 and a fan made plushie of Marcy. I also bought a poster based on the series finale. 
== Trivia ==
* Matt Braly has revealed that the series will come back in the form of more books, which will seemingly continue from the series finale in some way.
* This was the second Disney animated series I watched in its entirety after Gravity Falls. I also watched all of The Owl House prior to it but its own series finale didn't come out until April of this year.
