Shonen Jump’s Underrated Battle Manga Just Achieved a Milestone That Even Demon Slayer Never Reached

17 Years Ago, a Cartoon Network Legend Debuted on Nickelodeon

Adventure Time originally started as a short on Nickelodeon’s Random! Cartoons back in 2008. The first episode featured familiar characters like Finn, Jake, the Ice King, and Lady Rainicorn, but the animation and voice acting were noticeably different from the show we know today. Creator Pendleton Ward tried to get Adventure Time turned into a full series on Nickelodeon, but they decided not to move forward with it – a decision many now regret! Fortunately, Cartoon Network saw potential, especially after the pilot episode became a hit on YouTube. They picked up the show in 2010, and it’s been a beloved part of animation history ever since. Even after the original series ended, the world of Adventure Time continues with the spin-off, Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake, which explores a new universe with female versions of Finn and Jake.
