There are still so many unknowns when it comes to character motivations that I'm not sure how to analyze a lot of them.

Star Trek Lower Decks S2E9: "Wej Duj"
Lighthearted return to form, or cringey meme-milking machine?
Honestly, it's both.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes - Die Neue These S1E11: "The Verge of Death (part one)"
That was one of the weirdest scenes I have ever seen in anything.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes - Die Neue These S1E9: "Each Person's Star"
I really hope that episode 11 gets us back to Reinhard and Co. At this point I don't think the Alliance stuff is ever going to interest me.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes - Die Neue These S1E10: "Interlude"
I accidentally skipped an episode, apparently. I thought this was episode 9 when I started watching it, and didn't realize my mistake until I was most of the way through. I guess the actual episode 9 must have been fairly uneventful, since this one seems like it picks up right where I left off last time, but still, I do need to go back and watch it.

King Arthur and the Knights of Justice S1E3: "The Unbeliever"
Just the processed tears of frustrated artists, congealed and shrinkwrapped through the most low-effort and low-cost assembly line imaginable, and then marketed to a child audience who the executives hold in utter contempt.

King Arthur and the Knights of Justice S1E2: "A Knight's Quest"
There was some genuine thought and skill that went into some parts of this episode. Just, not enough to change the fundamentally thoughtless and unskilled nature of the work overall.



Mob Psycho S2E1: "Ripped Apart ~Someone is Watching~" (continued)
...is it just me, or have half the things I've been reviewing lately been really Nietzschean?


Monster S1E5: "The Girl From Heidelburg"
This show really walks a fine line between gritty realism and nightmare psychedelia.

Monster S1E4: "The Night of Execution"
I swear to god if he starts shooting people in the mouth with a poisoned candy launcher it would make "Monster" the best piece of media ever created by any person. No joke. Unironically.


Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shamballa (part eleven)
...how many of these things did they build?

Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shamballa (part ten)
One of this movie's most consistent elements is that every version of Alphonse Elric in every parallel dimension is a raging douchebag.


Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shamballa (part eight)
The problem with uneven writing is that you can never tell if a mystery is being raised intentionally, or if it's just an author fuckup.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shamballa (part seven)
Maybe realities like the world of the movie he's working on, in which there's magic instead of science, where dragons are as common as horses. Maybe instead of a director, that world's Fritz Lang is a criminal. Or a king. Or a woman.
Edward keeps his mouth shut, unwilling to confess that the truth is actually far, far stupider than that.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shamballa (part six)
If you were to imagine a live action version of King Bradley, would it look even remotely like this man?
