Absolutely loved this reaction and review on the episode. Especially love how much you picked up on all the background gags, names and writing. It genuinely brings a huge smile to my face seeing your reactions to all of the key moments in this episode, as well as your theories and interpretations of what's been shown so far. You're bang on the money with the stylistic choice - while the entire show is drawn digitally, I wanted to emulate the classic cel animation as best as I can, to make it seem like a time capsule. Even right down to the colour palette!

Thanks so much for reacting, and I can't wait to see your reaction to the next episodes that drop.

As someone who is very “protective” over the cartoons I adored as a teen, this is very well done and respectful to the original series. Kudos to everyone involved with this!

Eddy probably work's at a mom and pop restaurant, so when he gets to serve he probably gets tips.

Something I think you missed at the start, is that in one of the sticky notes Edd's parents said that they would be gone from July till September, as in they would leave their only child alone for such a long time. But then it cuts to him crossing out dates in the calendar, showing that it is October. With Eddy saying his parents aren't home, it is safe to say Double D's parents have either disappeared, or abandoned him, which would explain a lot about his demeanor.

What the dream sequence tells me, or at least reminds me, is the series finale Movie's final scene. The Kankers dragging Eddy's unconscious brother into his trailer. I feel something bad might have happened afterwards.

Also I think you got Jimmy and Johny mixed up. The one in the dream was Jimmy who we saw talking with Sarah. Not sure why he was wearing Eddy's brother's clothes.

22:52 That's not Eddy. That's his brother.

Peach Creek is something that we thought died into the ether but I'm so glad it's still alive. I really can't wait to see where this goes with the more mature and grounded themes. Still, I'm happy the Eds' conversations are still golden.

That final few minutes in May's dream/vision was incredible.

Gotta say. The voice work is 100/10 for the characters. So well done.

I have never heard of this but I am a huge Ed Edd n Eddy fan. I am behind this 150%.

7:50 That sound goes to show how empty that house is to Edd. He's accepted that his parents were never in his life, and never will be.

This made me go down nostalgia lane. All the references.

He was happy about serving people so he could get tips, but Johnny couldn't get tips since he was working the grill.

Serving customers might mean tips is my guess.

It just dawned on me that maybe Ed is almost 18 and his parents are counting down the days until they can kick him out into the world. So, to not give his parents that pleasure and save him some heartache, Ed kicked himself out. Also, maybe Edd is just withdrawing into himself more and more. It's not that he is done with Ed and Eddy, but it's just growing up is taking its toll on him. I mean, look at Edd's parents. Imagine what high hopes/demands they have of him. The Law Internship, school, etc., and Double D seems to be becoming more anti-social. That's just my thought though.

0:55 - Actually it was "Go Cobblers", the sign's supporting the school's sports team(s). "Peach Creek Cobblers"
7:35 - It's a cover of "Land of the Rising Sun"
10:20 - Not 100% sure, but I think it's supposed to be a logo for the school.
12:25 - Might depend on the job, at some places getting to actually interact with customers is a more... "prestigious" position, if you could call it that. Plus Eddy's always seemed excited to give the kids his sales pitches when the Eds were pulling off a scam, so him getting to do that and actually get paid for it kinda makes sense. Or if "serving customers" means being a waiter, then he's probably excited about the tips.

The creators of Peach Creek have stated that, in this show's canon, Double D has been diagnosed with OCD and mild depression, though he's not as neurotic as he was back in the official EEnE cartoon. His parents haven't abandoned him, but they're still almost never around and it's taking its toll on him.
Ed's a lot smarter than he used to be, but he's still innocent and has his dumb moments. However, his parents' blatant favoritism towards Sarah is finally taking its toll on the big guy...
Eddy relapsed into some of his old behaviors between the events of the movie and the events of Peach Creek, though he's not as bad as he used to be.

May maybe the new member of the crew. Fate has a hand to play with her.

Never underestimate the power of fans. 😎

Dingo doodles has uploaded a new episode and the end is so cute

yeah no one's got a good home out of the three. Double-D either got abandoned by his parents or they disappeared, Ed had shit parents as a kid so he's bailing of his entire family, and Eddy honestly only had a shit brother who I think got kicked out by his parents (maybe a little strict but honestly hardworking folks yes it's my headcanon). honestly healthiest thing Ed could do was to leave, Double-D might either go homeless or into the foster care system eventually with his parents not showing up and paying any tax's/mortgage/utilities bill on the house, and now eddy might have to deal with a real possibility of having no friends.

So I just went ahead and watched the episode again, Subtitles are Now Available!

Thanks for liking my Ed!
