Fate/Zero S1E6: “Night of Schemes”
That's pretty much every night, if you live in Fateworld. The days are pretty scheme-y, too. And don't even get me started on the mornings and evenings.
Fate/Zero S1E5: “A Wicked Beast’s Roar”
Evocative title. Let's see what it's referring to!
Fate/Zero S1E4: “Spearhead”
I guess dealing with the Lancer and his elusive master will be making up a significant part of this episode, going by the name. And sure enough, this picks up right where we left off, with the Lancer and Arturia starting their duel while Iri keeps an eye out for the master.
Fate/Zero S1E3: “Fuyuki City”
Back to Fate/Zero! Let the schadenfreude begin as we watch assholes do terrible things to other assholes!
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood S2E1: “Interlude Party”
As the episode does not start where either of the season one finale cliffhangers left off, it is definitely an interlude. The visuals confirm that there also is, in fact, a party. So, truth in advertising if nothing else!
Street Sharks S3E7: “A Shark Among Us”
I was going to call it a fever dream, but fever dreams tend to have better visuals.
Street Sharks S3E4: “First Shark”
Jumping ahead all the way into Street Sharks' third and final season. It's Street Sharks, so it shouldn't be any harder to understand what's going on than it would be if I'd watched it all the way through.
Marvel Mangaverse #2: “Eternity Twilight” (conclusion)
Cut away from Baron Von Memelord's victory speech, and to a...thing...driving across the water.
Marvel Mangaverse #2: “Eternity Twilight” (part one)
Just from the cover art alone I'm already dreading this:
Marvel Mangaverse #1: “New Dawn” (continued)
Continuing into the confusing and poorly drawn world of Marvel Mangaverse.
Marvel Mangaverse #1: “New Dawn” (part one)
For the past ten years, Marvel Comics has been one of the big movers and shakers of American pop culture, and a massive money-making machine for the sinister rodent overlords who acquired it at the start of the decade. In the ten years preceding the MCU + Disney era, though, Marvel's successes were much more mixed.
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood S1E26: “Reunion”
Here we are. The season one finale, and what a finale it has the potential to be! So many unions to be restored: Mustang and his team, Edward and Alphonse, Yao and Ninjette, and of course the brothers and Father. If they've actually met him before, of course; otherwise that last one isn't exactly a reunion. But anyway, midpoint of the series, and a major change of the status quo pretty much unavoidable.
Garden of Sinners 4: “The Hollow Shrine”
It's time for the last Kara no Kyoukai/Garden of Sinners movie currently in queue. I don't have many expectations, either positive or negative, at this point. "Overlooking View" was fun. "A Study In Murder I" was so-so. "Remaining Sense of Pain" was awful. So, this could really be anywhere in terms of quality, and most of these films seem to be episodic enough to stand on their own.
Serial Experiments Lain E4: “Religion”
We open on Lain, still crouching over her open Navi and leafing through a computer science textbook as she works. Jury-rigging in the Psyche chip looks like a more difficult process than the imp-kid-thing at Cyberia made it sound.
Serial Experiments Lain E3: “Psyche”
Last time on Serial Experiments Lane, our heroine or something acting through her diffused a situation with a mad shooter by making him turn the weapon on himself. This episode starts with the police arriving in force at Club Cyberia, where the event took place. Lain's friend helps her out of the club; Lain herself still has a zombie-like expression, and sees like she'd just be standing in place and staring at the wall if she wasn't being walked.
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood S1E25: “Doorway of Darkness”
Edward sloshes through the dark, cluttered world of Gluttony's extradimensional stomach, wondering where he is, how he got here, and if "that dumb prince" also got sent here. He calls out for Yao, and eventually the two find each other.
Astro City: “The Nearness of You”
This will be my first comic book liveblog. I was requested to go into Astro City as blind as possible, which should be easy since I'd never heard of it. In fact, I only just learned that it's a superhero story anthology and that it was published through DC comics in the last ten minutes.
Street Sharks S1E1: “Shark Bait”
Perhaps you think that the modern videogame and ebook industries have issues with imitators and copycats running unchecked. If so then you must have been born after the early 1990's, because they have nothing on the toy-driven children's cartoons of the eighties and nineties.
Fullmetal Alchemist S1E24: “Inside the Belly”
Suggestive title, given the cliffhanger ending. has Gluttony sucked everyone into a pocket dimension hidden inside his stomach-mouth-eyeball? I had a friend back in high school who could do that. Let's see!
Garden of Sinners 3: “A Remaining Sense of Pain” (part two)
So yeah, this conversation was a mess.
