List of episodes

"Evergreen" is the twenty-fourth episode of the sixth season of the American animated television series Adventure Time. The episode was written and storyboarded by Tom Herpich and Steve Wolfhard, from an outline by Herpich. The episode debuted on November 10, 2014 on Cartoon Network in Latin America, but originally aired domestically on January 15, 2015. The episode guest stars Pamela Adlon as Gunther, Alan Tudyk as Chatsberry, and Keith David as Balthus.

The series follows the adventures of Finn (voiced by Jeremy Shada), a human boy, and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake (voiced by John DiMaggio), a dog with magical powers to change shape and grow and shrink at will. This episode, which takes place millions of years before the start of the series, documents the story of Gunther (voiced by Adlon), the young assistant to ice elemental Urgence Evergreen (voiced by Tom Kenny), and how he and Evergreen try to save the planet from a comet by constructing a magical crown.

Despite being co-boarded by Wolfhard, the episode was largely the vision of Herpich, and he alone wrote the outline for the episode. Wolfhard, however, voiced two different characters in the episode. The episode was watched by an estimated 1.75 million viewers. Critical reception to the episode was largely positive, with Oliver Sava of The A.V. Club complimenting the episode's story, guest voices, and color palette, among other things.
