Katalepsis IV: “the Other Side of Nowhere” (part 2)
This isn't just an encrustation of living material. It's descending passed the epidermis and into the living skin tissue of another planet-creature.
Dr. Who: "Rose"
When I put it in writing "zany impish guy is now a traumatized veteran" sounds like an edgy juvenile deconstruction. It isn't, though. It really, really isn't.
Katalepsis IV: the Other Side of Nowhere (part 1)
No way in hell did New Sun create all of this, Lozzie or no Lozzie.
New Statesmen: finale
If there was meant to be a lot more New Statesmen that the authors never got to put to page, then...well, I guess that's sad for them, but I also can't bring myself to say that it's any kind of loss to the world.
Katalepsis III: "Conditions of Absolute Reality" (part five)
What we're looking at is the product of an ongoing war between wizards and behaviour-modifying parasites.
Katalepsis III: "Conditions of Absolute Reality" (part four)
This episode led me back into a question I've asked a few times previously: why does magic make you a monster, in this setting? Why are magicians all so insistent on competing, when it seems like cooperating gives them much more to gain?
Katalepsis III: "Conditions of Absolute Reality" (part three)
I hope this is it. That would be perfect.
Katalepsis III (part two)
Confirmation that Lozzie is a prisoner, perhaps even a prisoner in her own body. And also, more distressingly, that Evelyn and her pile of occult treasures are no longer the main target after Heather's display of dimension-warping power at the end of arc 2. Heather herself is the greater prize now.
Katalepsis III: "Conditions of Absolute Reality" (part one)
Now in the company of some conveniently attractive local occultists, Heather is on a mission to rescue her long lost sister from the lair of a reality-warping god monster, using that monster's own power and hoping it doesn't damn her. Also she's fighting local baddies, making friends with From Beyond fauna, and being a queer harem protagonist, just to keep things from getting too dark.
Poorly Drawn Lines S1E5: "Exercise Day"
If any of you have seen the animated "Peanuts" or "Garfield" cartoons, it kind of has that sort of vibe.
Bee and Puppycat (pilot)
In which we take a depressing "cringefail girl" sitcom and suddenly invade it with a weird mixture of Adventure Time, Revolutionary Girl Utena, and maybe a little bit of Captain Harlock.
OK K.O. S1E32: "No More Pow Cards"
I don't think I'm ever going to grow to like this show's visual style.
"Double King"
I don't know what - if anything - "Double King" is saying. But I don't know that it needs to say anything to succeed at being itself.
Hilda S1E3: "The Bird Parade"
Family-friendly entertainment media is hardly a new concept of course, but something about the way that Hilda does it feels like the medium making itself part of the message.
Hilda S1E1-3
I've seen cartoons with better visuals than "Hilda," but I'm not sure if I've seen any that do as much with as little as "Hilda."
The Promised Neverland #2-3: "The Way Out" and "A Declaration of War"
I'm honestly not sure if her being human makes her slightly less of a monster, or slightly more of one.
The Promised Neverland #1: "Grace Field House"
All their beliefs, all their security, and the only adult who they ever had - the only parent figure in their frame of reference - all gone in the blink of an eye.
Mob Psycho 100 S2E3-5 (continued)
It might not be literal, but it is true. It is an accurate artistic representation.
