IT'S GENUINELY SO GOOD LIKE HOLY SHIT I was not expecting to get as into it as I was. Excellent television.

And to think the mass casualty event was a spur-of-the-moment addition because HBO ordered an additional 3 episodes to bring the season to 15 episodes.
Resulted in one hell of an end-season arc.

Maaaan I felt for Robby so much in this show. Insanely good acting and writing going into that performance.
Probably a career best for him.

Yeah, if you watched Cartoon Network then you absolutely knew about this movie.
But the bigger issue is that it had direct competition from Lilo & Stitch which covered the exact same demographic sector.
Families were just gonna go see the new Disney film if they had a choice between the two.

Which also sucks because, while WB themselves didn't market this (I believe this was around the same time as the live-action Scooby movie and Harry Potter, so that didn't help), CN was sure to market the heck out of this movie

98.) COMPLETE - The Powerpuff Girls Movie (rewatch)
73 minutes of just everything that makes The Powerpuff Girls fucking awesome. Hilarious, cute, and heinously, chaotically violent in the best ways.

97.) COMPLETE - The Pitt (Season One)
Didn't know what to expect going in when my friend first sat me down for it, but this is an absolutely amazing, deeply tense medical drama. Some real weighty and masterful character work, and it's astounding this takes place over the course of one day.

The dub handles this slightly better by having him bring it up like a dark joke.
"Well it's not like I told you to kill all of Japanese"

Patrick Colasour won harder than any other character in Gundam 00.

Genuinely, Ys VIII is my favorite game of all time, but this is the one part of it that doesn't click with me. I only bring it up so much because it's the singular dip in quality the game has.
It's literally nothing but pure heat from this point onward.

Instructions unclear, watched Doraemon and Heidi, Girl of the Alps.

Thankfully, Chapter 3 is like, an immediate uptake in both quality and intrigue, and introduces Dana properly while introducing us to the game's central narrative gimmick. You just gotta weed through a sorta lame-ish transitional plotline to get there.

I said this last time I played it, but the biggest issue is that it limits your exploration for too long in favor of a central whodunit mystery that is incredibly predictable and a pretty boring villain who only exists to facilitate conflict and push the plot forward.

there's ways to express not liking somebody's work without turning it into a hit piece on them as a person and it's like Sonic fans deliberately choose not to avoid this. it is incredibly frustrating.

i've complained about the fact Ian Flynn has become the central boogeyman in recent years a lot, but there's also like. Evan Stanley, Ken Pontac and Warren Graff, Gigi Dutriex ESPECIALLY, Takashi Iizuka (who used to be the big boogeyman before Ian). nobody behind Sonic gets treated with any respect.

Fist of the North Star is not a complex story, but it *is* a cathartic and emotionally-driven one. Hyperviolence is only one facet of its narrative.
It's a story that speaks to a truth in most of us: wishing to see the cruel get their comeuppance, and for kindness and compassion to thrive.
