I have been following disenchantment since season 1 and I have always loved it's fun story characters. And despite it's flaws I have still found it to be a really fun watch. And pretty much every time a new season has been released I have immediately watched the whole thing in about 2 days. And now I know that this is the end to that if feels a bit bittersweet. About the episode itself I feel it greatly sums up disenchanted and still has the same fun energy that it did from the start. All the characters seem to get their own fairytale ending and it is very heartwarming to see. Overall I feel that this is a good ending to a fun underrated show.

This is way, WAY better compared to the Regular Show finale!

And I'm not kidding when I say that! It's as if Disenchantment took the final episode of Regular Show, fixed the issues that it had and a little bit of their touch on their finale and it worked, brilliantly, as if it's at least 10 times better! That's not to say the Regular Show finale is bad, it is really good, but it's not perfect and there were still a few issues that it had, issues which Disenchantment managed to fix in their own finale. At the time back in 2017, I found Regular Show's finale to be the most perfect end to a cartoon that could never possibly be topped, but of course times change and A LOT has changed in the past 6 years.
One of the biggest problems I had with Regular Show's finale is that after the part returned to Earth and everyone is reuinited, they only managed to give a lot of the characters a few seconds' worth of on screen time. Sure, the relationships of the characters were made canon, but to only give them not much time for the viewer to know more about what life has been like inbetween the park returning to Earth and the reunion seems like a little bit of an insult.
This, of course is an issue that does not exist here in Disenchantment's finale, as they actually managed to give a lot of the characters at least a minute of on screen time, and what the relationships of the characters are truly like. They even showed off a few weddings of some of the characters, something that Regular Show couldn't even do (and yes, it's something I feel salty about, because I WISH I could have seen what Rigby and Eileen's wedding would have been like).
Another thing that comes to mind (which is off topic but still worth mentioning), after seeing all these relationships, that the show has hinted at throughout the whole series, become canon, actually gives me more hopes for Beef and Alyson (from The Great North) becoming canon. If The Great North ever has a finale sometime in the future, this is something that I really very much expect, and I know it seems weird that the Disenchantment finale gives me high hopes for a relationship from another show, but hey? That's something that the Regular Show finale couldn't ever dream of doing.
Anyway, all in all, this is THE perfect ending to an animated series that I've ever came across. I used to think Regular Show's finale was perfect, but times change and now, 6 years later, I can see that there are issues with their finale, issues that have been completely ironed out here. Where my standards have been set back in 2017 compared to now in 2023 are very different, and hey, I wonder how the finale of other shows will be like in the future.
