There is a town full of skeletons donning pumpkin costumes, and a tavern where patrons sing about their designated character tropes. In this world, a disgruntled woodsman chops Edelwood trees for oil to keep the lantern lit where the soul of his daughter’s spirit resides. Sometime after that, they woke up and found themselves in a world similar to the one they knew, but turned inside out and pushed back about a hundred years or so. Revealed in the second to last episode, titled “Into the Unknown,” Wirt and Greg (and Greg’s ever-name-changing frog) became lost in the Unknown after (needlessly) fleeing from police on Halloween night, tumbling down a hill, narrowly escaping being hit by a train.
It allows the show to be both a sweet pill for its core audience to swallow as well as a genuinely fascinating piece of art, one that interrogates human existence underneath… jokes about frogs and a kid named Jason Funderburker? Each episode sets itself up as another interpersonal struggle cloaked underneath both absurdity and humor and utter darkness death and life, innocence intermingling with the uncanny. One could consider the Unknown symbolic of the specific, fraught relationship between Wirrt and Greg, but also partly representative of the overarching nature of life itself. Lauded by critics as a children’s show that all should watch, not just the demographic it’s aimed at, perhaps what ends up resonating even more than the series’ exquisite embrace of possibly the most adored time of the year is its lighthearted dabbling in the existential nightmare that is being alive. The brothers’ earthly troubles bind them to an endless maze of cornfields and pumpkins of their own making. But delving deeper into the woods only heightens the tensions between them and pushes them farther off the beaten path, allowing them to become more susceptible to the Beast’s persuasions. The “Unknown” becomes a tangible place as well as an abstract concept, a reflection of Wirt and Greg’s own real-life anxieties with each absurd circumstance they find themselves in, as they become what they believe is closer to their escape.
Misplaced in this endless, labyrinthine wilderness that seeks to hold them hostage there for good, the two brothers must journey out of the woods before an operatic creature known only as “the Beast” takes them prisoner and forces them to become one with the trees.īut along the way, we learn of our heroes’ far more grounded fears of the Unknown as they attempt to free themselves from this never-ending autumnal prison. The Unknown is where, five years ago this November, the two young leads of Cartoon Network’s 2014 Emmy-winning miniseries, half-brothers Wirt (voiced by Elijah Wood) and Greg ( Collin Dean), found themselves far away from home. What is the Unknown? The mysterious woodland world lost in time, blanketed in swathes of crackling, golden leaves, grey skies and a permeating, crisp chill, Over the Garden Wall’s foremost setting drapes itself in the comforts of the most sought-after autumn staples. I’m not a true fan of mystery, but I’m like that too! There is no better place in web for anime than KissAnime so I added full anime Over the Garden Wall here :), and now everybody can see this anime online for free.“Somewhere lost in the clouded annals of history lies a place that few have seen-a mysterious place called the Unknown, where long-forgotten stories are revealed to those who travel through the wood.” The story is really solid, the pacing is great, and all of the actors give great performances.
This is a anime you can watch online with any crowd of people, and everyone will enjoy it at least a little. I don’t watch many anime online in mystery category, but this one was amazing.
This anime is one of my favorite mystery TV shows last time. Join them as they encounter surprises and obstacles on their journey through the wood. With the help of a wise old Woodsman and a foul-tempered bluebird named Beatrice, Wirt and Greg must travel across this strange land, in hope of finding their way home. Two brothers, Wirt and Greg, find themselves lost in the Unknown a strange forest adrift in time.
