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.

Revalkyrie (chapter two)

There's a highlight from early on, when Minamoto is musing on his own ghostly nature and whether or not he should find a priest to exorcise him, that will stick with me in a good way. Other than that, this chapter is all pretty forgettable at best.

Monster S1E6-12 (continued more)

This is a monster story about monster stories.

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.

One Piece, volume 1: “Romance Dawn” (continued)

I really want to know what the hell the mother looked like. Berserk + ??? = ONE.

One Piece, volume 1: "Romance Dawn"

All the pirate energy that was concentrated in Roger's operation has been released to create a global upwelling of piracy.

Pale 16.4: "Left In the Dust" bonus content ("100 Years Lost, Excerpts") (continued)

I think this is some of the best Wildbow material I've read, if not outright the best.

Starship Velociraptor

They're from the future. They're immortal. Their drummer is a fucking alien, and their guitarist is a robot. They don't follow the rules. They're good and everyone else is bad.

Pale 16.4: "Left In the Dust" bonus content ("100 Years Lost, Excerpts")

Straight from Stephen King to Lewis Caroll!

Usagi Yojimbo: the Dragon Bellow Conspiracy (part 3 of 3)

Here's the thing: Gennosuke has been a better person than Usagi for this entire time.

Usagi Yojimbo: the Dragon Bellow Conspiracy (part 2 of 3)

I wish "Dragon Bellow" concentrated more on this central piece of character development. Much of the rest of it is pretty scattershot, with the story's lack of focus being by far its greatest flaw.

Usagi Yojimbo: “the Dragon Bellow Conspiracy” (part 1 of 3)

As a much bigger story, "Dragon Bellow" is also much longer than any of the previous Usagi Yojimbo titles, clocking in at a full 150 pages. Basically a graphic novel unto itself.
