Mindwave (demo)

I feel like it's the beginning of an interesting story, but the demo shows too little for me to be sure.

Chainsaw Man #39-43 (part three)

There's some really mystical imagery going on here. Which is, again, made tragically ironic by how insincere Reze's performance actually is.

Chainsaw Man #39-43 (part two)

Will this end up being a test of the heart that Denji is so proud of himself for having? Or a test of the brain that neither he nor the reader has any reason to put faith in? Possibly both.

Chainsaw Man #39-43 (part one)

Uh...huh.

Tokyo Ghoul #10-14 (part two)

Mado really is weird-looking.

Tokyo Ghoul #10-14 (part one)

Another aspect of ghoul culture that we get into in the following chapter, "Masks," is their traditional, well, masks.

Jonah: a Veggietales Movie

Jonah is a hard story to adapt, Veggietales did better than most.

It's just a pity that the production of it basically ruined the company.

The Owl House S2E10: "Yesterday's Lie" (continued more)

I don't know what the thesis statement is yet, or even if it has one. So far, the show's left room for a lot of nuance, showing us weirdo outsiders who are unjustly persecuted, weirdo outsiders who are justly persecuted, the social insider counterparts to both, and how organizations twist themselves into pretzels around all of the above.

The Owl House S2E10: "Yesterday's Lie" (continued)

She appears to her mother and comes completely clean.

The Owl House S2E10: "Yesterday's Lie"

Is this sterile perfection what Luz's mother Camila had been hoping for? If so, then it's fair to ask if she ever actually loved her daughter at all.

The Owl House S2E9: Eclipse Lake

I like that the show is able to use Hunter as a pretty effective antagonist even after starting his face turn back in the palisman episode.

The Owl House S2E8: Knock Knock Knockin' on Hooty's Door

Very "Katalepsis," heh.

Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids: the Chipper Chums Go Scrumping

At the end, you laugh at every single joke that wasn't funny up until then.

Mob Psycho S2E8 "Even Then ~Continue Forward~"

I'm really interested to see what happens. It's either going to be a fascinating transition for the series, or it's going to be fucking terrible. I don't see a third possibility.
