Fuck me. This news, and that video of him announcing it, hits me right in the feels. Final Space had easily become one of my favorite shows of all time. It struggled a bit in Season One, so I can see why some people didn't make it through, but the entire show was WAY more deep than it had any right to be. I can't count the number of times I talked about an episode with a friend who watches and we both were amazed at how fucking heart-wrenching shit could get. This was pretty much a tragedy disguised in pretty colors and cartoons. This show was unlike anything else I can think of. Occasionally another animated show would get as deep, say the Rick & Morty episode where Rick tried to kill himself at the end with the Chaos Chaos song playing over it, but this show did that like a dozen times...without it being overplayed. It all made sense, and fit the narrative, and still had cool and funny stuff around it.
It also had a bunch of iconic characters that I'll remember for a long time: Mooncake, Tribor, and Kevin just to name my three favorites.
I knew it would end someday, but I certainly wasn't ready for it yet. Fucking bummer, man.
Chokity.
