Garden of Sinners E5: “Paradox Spiral” (part 2)
After getting over his shock, Carrot tells Shiki that yes, he's willing to die for her. As he puts it, he's probably going to get the death penalty anyway, as he can't hide from the law forever. Being killed to give Shiki pleasure would be more meaningful of a death than being put down by the state, so sure, why not.
Garden of Sinners E5: “Paradox Spiral” (part one)
Been a while since I last saw any Kara no Kyoukai, hasn't it? I guess it's a good thing that the queue worked out this way; we have a bunch more Fate/Zero episodes coming up soon, and I might have been at risk of forgetting that sometimes Nasu really fucking sucks.
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood S2E18: Revving at Full Throttle
What does God need with a robot army?
Kaguya-Sama: Love is War S1E1: "I Want to Make You Invite Me to A Movie"
Forty-two seconds in, and this is already one of my favorite animes.
Fullmetal Alchemist S2E17: Bite of the Ant (part 2)
I suppose just imagining Father's reaction to the news that they literally mailed his daughter to China might still make that worth it.
Fullmetal Alchemist S2E17: “Bite of the Ant”
There's humiliation, and then there's being bullied by fucking Yoki.
DieselDust: “Pilot”
So, if you'd believe it, I was actually asked by two different people to compare the RWBY pilot to the pilots of two other low-budget web originals. JelloApocalypse's Epithet Erased was one of them. The other, which I'm now getting to, is DieselDust, by Team FourStar. Unlike JA, I'm not familiar with TFS. From the look of things, they mostly do podcasts about media analysis, so this is a case of critics turning creator. Well, I am a little biased in their favor just because of that, I have to admit.~
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood S2E16: “Signs of a Counteroffensive”
Interesting title. Could refer to a hell of a lot of different things.
March Comes In Like A Lion E5: Over The Cuckoo's Nest
The fifth episode of this commission, "June Comes In Like a Cuckoo," is also the last. I'm not really expecting anything like closure or synthesis of the preceding story arcs, as this doesn't seem like a show that's about tying things together into a "main" plot. Either way, my thoughts on the series (or at least, what I've seen of it) will come at the end.
March Comes In Like a Lion E4: "May Comes In Like a Cheetah"
This episode is called "Versus," but that's a stupid name so I'm not going to use it.
March Comes In Like a Lion E3: “Beyond the Night Sky”
He apparently just has this giant wall-sized window facing east, that he sleeps under, and he has no curtains for it. You'd think he could at least move his bed further away from it, in the meantime?
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood S2E15: "The Abyss"
Along with "The Dwarf In the Flask," this episode did a lot to reassure me after my faith in the show was damaged.
March Comes In Like a Lion E2: “April Comes In Like an Ocelot”
The given title for this episode on Netflix is just "Episode Two," so I felt like I should rise to the occasion. Since originally posting this on Patreon I learned that this was just a stupid omission on Netflix's part, but I don't care.
March Comes In Like a Lion E1: “The Town Along The River”
Open on a creepy goff girl making fun of someone's name.
Fate/Zero S1E7: “Dark Forest”
I love how the wizards are having this hateful, egomaniacal battle to the death, but the Servants really just want to have a highschool romance drama.
Sins of the Father (FMAB:S2E14 analysis)
Content warning for depressing philosophical horror again.
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood S2E14: “The Dwarf In the Flask“ (part two)
Hohenheim calls out names. Nobody answers them. He looks at the broken jar beside him, and at the bodies.
Serial Experiments Lain E13: “Ego”
If there's actually more to it, you'll have to have someone smarter than Leila Hann explain it.
Serial Experiments Lain E12: “Landscape”
Battleships, but they're schoolgirls. Airplanes, but they're schoolgirls. Endangered animal species, but they're schoolgirls. The human collective unconscious, but it's a schoolgirl.
