Guide for Amphibia episodes Season 1
In this post i’m going to make a list of which episodes are important in season 1 Amphibia to help people who are just starting the series or want to rewatched it.
Keep in mind that Amphibia is a character driven series. That means that characters and their relationships is what usually matters the most in the narrative. I also highly suggest watching almost all the episodes from this season for subplots and continuity.
While Season 1 is episodic, the main plot is about Anne’s character arc and her getting to know the Plantars. The episodes that i consider most important are marked in black like this.
1) ¨Anne or Beast?/ “Best Fronds”: Both plot and character development. They establish the relationships and characters in the series.
2) “Cane Crazy”: Important character development for Anne. “Flood, Sweat and Tears” Not really that important, it develops Anne and Sprig’s friendship.
3) ¨Hop Luck¨: Town lore and subtle character development/ ¨Stakeout¨: Important character development for both Anne and Hop Pop
4) ¨The Domino Effect¨: Not essential, but it explores a bit about Anne’s life back in the human world. ¨Taking Charge¨: It has some continuity and subtle Hop Pop character development.
5) ¨Anne Theft Auto¨/ ¨Breakout Star¨: Both important for Anne’s character development
6) ¨Sprig Vs. Hop Pop¨: Good character development both for Sprig and Hop Pop and their relationship. ¨Girl Time¨: Important for Polly and Anne’s relationship.
7) ¨Dating Season¨ A bit fillerish, it is about Spring and a secondary character./ ¨Anne Vs. Wild¨: Important for Anne’s character arc and plot.
8) ¨Contagi-Anne¨: Character development for Anne. Not essential but good episode. ¨Family Shrub¨: Important Plantars’ family lore.
9) “Lily Pad Thai”: It explores Anne´s Thai culture and her life back at home./ ¨Plantar’s Last Stand¨: Hop Pop character development and plot.
10) “Toad Tax”/ “Prison Break”: Both very important for the plot and characters. Don’t skip these ones.
11) “Grubhog Day: Not that important, character development for Sprig/ “Hop Pop and Lock¨: Imporant for Hop Pop’s character arc.
12) "Civil Wart”: Fillerish, develops Polly and Sprig’s relationship/ ¨Hop-Popular¨: Important both for plot and character development. Also Amphibia lore.
