Fate/Zero S1E7: “Dark Forest”
I love how the wizards are having this hateful, egomaniacal battle to the death, but the Servants really just want to have a highschool romance drama.
Sins of the Father (FMAB:S2E14 analysis)
Content warning for depressing philosophical horror again.
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood S2E14: “The Dwarf In the Flask“ (part two)
Hohenheim calls out names. Nobody answers them. He looks at the broken jar beside him, and at the bodies.
Serial Experiments Lain E13: “Ego”
If there's actually more to it, you'll have to have someone smarter than Leila Hann explain it.
Serial Experiments Lain E12: “Landscape”
Battleships, but they're schoolgirls. Airplanes, but they're schoolgirls. Endangered animal species, but they're schoolgirls. The human collective unconscious, but it's a schoolgirl.
Serial Experiments Lain E10: “Love”
This Lain vs. Masami arc is fun in a whacky retro-cyberpunk way. It's just also a very far cry from what Serial Experiments Lain seemed to want to be in the first half or so of the series.
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood S2E13: “Daydream”
When I finished watching this episode, I strongly considered giving up on Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood S2E12: “Conflict At Baschool”
Goddamn these honorable types with their imaginary crosses to bear, just tell her it was a case of mistaken identity already!
Wakfu: “Goultard the Barbarian”
The first few times I saw its name written I thought it was a misspelling of “waifu.”
Fullmetal Alchemist S2E11: “The First Homunculus”
Pride is just being a twat for its own sake.
Owl House S1E1: “A Lying Witch and a Warden”
It’s another Disney production, which at this point is basically just another way of saying “it’s a piece of entertainment media created in or near the United States.”
Amphibia S1E1: “Anne or Beast”
Anthropomorphic cartoon animals were Walt's original jam, and a hundred years later here we still are.
Mob Psycho 100 S1E5: “OCHIMUSHA ~Psychic Powers And Me~”
I have no idea what to say about this one.
Fullmetal Alchemist S2E10: “Family Portrait”
That's, um, an interesting choice for pacing this episode.
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood S2E9: “The Shape of this Country”
It sure has been a hot minute since I did an FMA:B episode, hasn't it?
Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys S1E2: “Yes, We Still Have No Bananas”
She's going to be like this for the entire goddamned show, isn't she?
Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys S1E1: “Yes, We Have No Bananas”
Not all of the children's action/adventure cartoons of the 1990's were about anthropomorphic animals fighting crime. Some of them were about anthropomorphic animals in space.
