Dungeon Meshi S1E4-6 (part two)

It is during the party's encounter with a pack of vengeful ghosts that Laios and the others most sorely miss Falin, and - implicitly - wonder if any of them have it in themselves to measure up to her spiritual strength and goodness.

And then they make ghost ice cream.

Dungeon Meshi S1E4-6 (part one)

Orcs. There's no fantasy RPG mainstay that's been subject to more controversy. I have thoughts on the matter, but if I started writing them down I'd end up with a thousand+ word essay, and I don't think this review has room for that.

The Amazing Digital Circus E5: "Untitled"

Caine isn't just the demiurge. He's also the problem of hard solipsism.

Oh My Goddess! S2E2: "The Beleaguered Queen of Vengeance"

I just realized that what I'm basically trying to say is that Belldandy, uniquely within this series, is written as an actual god. The issue is, ironically, the exact opposite of what the very humanized Skuld and Urd claim it is.

Oh My Goddess! S1E21: "The One I Yearn For Is A White Winged Angel"

#aesthetic.

Oh My Goddess! S1E11: "Heatvision and Urd"

I've seen this joke in supernatural comedies before, but Marller is a really well done and amusingly animated example.

The Owl House S2E20-21: "Clouds on the Horizon" and "King's Tide"

Talk about a cliffhanger jesus fuck.

The Owl House S2E18-19: "Labyrinth Runners" and "O Titan Where Art Thou?"

Imagine a world where studio-produced art was allowed to be good, instead of having to be what some lizard-brained finance bro thinks will be profitable.

That would be a pretty cool world.

"What power does to a motherfucker: the comic."

His reasoning might have been motivated, but Jackie Magus' conclusion was right. The motives of such an alien god should have never been trusted.

Hard-Earned Wisdom (Epic final analysis)

The wisdom that Odysseus was taught when he went off to war, and the wisdom that Telemachus learned by seeing what the war did to his father, cannot coexist. One of them has to be destroyed.

Epic: the Musical: the actual end this time seriously!

In any case, the way her voice gets higher, and higher, and higher, and then even higher in her final chain of "waiiiiiitiiiiiings" is the craziest vocal feat in this whole show. Seriously, they might have just saved the best for last as far as voice talent goes.

Why is Telemachus even in this story?

Epic: the Musical: the Curated Fanimatic Series (continued the mostest)

For the most part, Epic plays its allegory for war trauma in pretty abstract forms, rather than a direct one-to-one "Odysseus doing thing X is supposed to represent real world veterans doing thing Y." Calypso is an exception. She's drugs. She's just drug addiction.
