"Little Runmo" and "The Amazing Digital Circus"
A vibe that I’ve come to call “Nintendo Gnostic.”
All Night Laundry (chapters 1-2)
And that's just the guy's dirty laundry. The man himself is even more dangerous. And his employer, meanwhile, well.
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.
New Statesmen #7-8
You want to know what disappointed me about #7-8? No fish-murder kid. Where is fish-murder kid?
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)
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.
