Gargoyles S1E1-5: "Awakening" (continued)
Now, you might be asking: "how the hell did someone like this end up in the NYPD?" The answer is that 90's cartoon cops are a mythological creature that bears only coincidental resemblance to anything in real life. They are much like the gargoyles themselves in this way.
Gargoyles S1E1-5: "Awakening"
Yeah don't ask me how those thin little support struts are supposed to hold up half a castle's worth of weight. Or how the tower is supposed to hold them up in turn. There was another wizard involved in building this office building I guess.
Sonny Boy E1-3
"Sonny Boy" is an experimental original anime that came out in 2021, and that dared to ask the question "what if a bunch of high schoolers got randomly teleported into a series of sociology thought experiments?"
Did asking this question actually require very much daring? On second thoughts, no, not really. Still a decent premise though.
Arcane (part 2: episodes 4-6)
I did not expect this show to go 1/10th as deep as it has. Kinda floored.
Arcane (part 1: episodes 1-3)
His two hobbies are human experimentation and child murder. And...he might actually be on the right side of history.
Monster S1E6-12 (continued)
Episode 9, "The Girl and the Seasoned Soldier," has our hero seeking out a master to train him in the arts of the warrior so that he may go out and confront the villain.
I never expected to type that sequence of words when describing Monster of all damned things, but this series is nothing if not surprising.
Monster S1E6-12
Johan is probably the smarter one, then. He may or may not turn out to be physically stronger as well (the way things are going, I suspect that he will). And he's a psychopathic megalomaniac.
Partial augments don't necessarily have the superior ambition problem.
Ghost in the Shell: Stand-Alone Complex (S1E4-6) (continued)
Either there's some incredibly subtle next-gen meme virus taking people over, or the Laughing Man is just an unbelievably effective stochastic terrorism apparatus
Ghost in the Shell: Stand-Alone Complex (S1E4-6)
Either incredibly prescient, or a remarkable case of life imitating art.
"Birds Anonymous" and "Three Little Bops"
A look at where American cartoons were at in the mid-to-late 1950's. "Johnny Quest" and its imitators would come a few short years after this, albeit from different studios.
Haibane Renmei E2-7 (continued)
Maybe the existence of an afterlife really just means you keep dying forever?
Sgt. Savage and his Screaming Eagles
When I say that he's Captain America, what I mean is that he's an elite special forces squad leader from World War 2 who got frozen, was declared MIA, and then discovered and thawed out decades later to serve his country again when it is menaced by the same nazi-aligned supervillain who he fought back in the forties. What I don't mean when I say he's Captain America, on the other hand, is that he has any of the pathos, charm, or idiosyncrasy that various depictions of Cap have been imbued with by their authors.
Shadows House (S1E1-5) (continued more)
This story is definitely going to keep getting darker before it gets finished, of that I'm certain.
Shadows House (S1E1-5) (continued)
I'm getting the impression that the soot itself is some type of malevolent, parasitic life form.
Shadows House (S1E1-5)
Did they both used to be the same person, before being *split* in some way?
Jonny Quest E1: "The Mystery of the Lizard Men"
I wouldn't say it's aged well, but there's plenty of stuff to enjoy alongside the lumps, and it absolutely does have the effort and vision behind it that was missing from the later sixties H-B adventure shows.
