Revolutionary Girl Utena S1E1: “The Rose Bride” (part two)
Revolutionary Girl Utena is a very literal narrative that doesn’t lean on metaphor or symbolism.
Revolutionary Girl Utena S1E1: “The Rose Bride” (part one)
So, the student council is an occult secret society charged with the care of an undercover goddess. Surprisingly mundane, for an anime high school.
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood S2E21: “Emissary of Darkness”
Hohenheim does still need to explain the whole "disappeared on my family for a decade and left my sons totally abandoned after their mother died" thing.
Fate/Zero S1E10: “Rin's Big Adventure”
It's a filler episode, but it's a very good filler episode.
Fate/Zero S1E9: “Master And Servant”
Well, at least SOMEbody is taking this truce seriously.
Fate/Zero S1E8: “The Mage-Slayer”
Flash forward again to a golden future, when Type Moon is actually somewhat entertaining!
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood S2E19: "The Promised Day"
Damn, Father is one emotional mess of a demigod, isn't he?
Garden of Sinners E5: “Paradox Spiral” (part 5)
Goodbye Carrot. Shiki will never forget you. Until she thinks about something else.
Garden of Sinners E5: “Paradox Spiral” (part 4)
Um, couple of problems with this plan, Micky boy.
Garden of Sinners E5: “Paradox Spiral” (part 3)
I am continually baffled by the decision to tell this out of order.
Garden of Sinners E5: “Paradox Spiral” (part 2)
After getting over his shock, Carrot tells Shiki that yes, he's willing to die for her. As he puts it, he's probably going to get the death penalty anyway, as he can't hide from the law forever. Being killed to give Shiki pleasure would be more meaningful of a death than being put down by the state, so sure, why not.
Garden of Sinners E5: “Paradox Spiral” (part one)
Been a while since I last saw any Kara no Kyoukai, hasn't it? I guess it's a good thing that the queue worked out this way; we have a bunch more Fate/Zero episodes coming up soon, and I might have been at risk of forgetting that sometimes Nasu really fucking sucks.
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood S2E18: Revving at Full Throttle
What does God need with a robot army?
Kaguya-Sama: Love is War S1E1: "I Want to Make You Invite Me to A Movie"
Forty-two seconds in, and this is already one of my favorite animes.
Fullmetal Alchemist S2E17: Bite of the Ant (part 2)
I suppose just imagining Father's reaction to the news that they literally mailed his daughter to China might still make that worth it.
Fullmetal Alchemist S2E17: “Bite of the Ant”
There's humiliation, and then there's being bullied by fucking Yoki.
DieselDust: “Pilot”
So, if you'd believe it, I was actually asked by two different people to compare the RWBY pilot to the pilots of two other low-budget web originals. JelloApocalypse's Epithet Erased was one of them. The other, which I'm now getting to, is DieselDust, by Team FourStar. Unlike JA, I'm not familiar with TFS. From the look of things, they mostly do podcasts about media analysis, so this is a case of critics turning creator. Well, I am a little biased in their favor just because of that, I have to admit.~
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood S2E16: “Signs of a Counteroffensive”
Interesting title. Could refer to a hell of a lot of different things.
March Comes In Like A Lion E5: Over The Cuckoo's Nest
The fifth episode of this commission, "June Comes In Like a Cuckoo," is also the last. I'm not really expecting anything like closure or synthesis of the preceding story arcs, as this doesn't seem like a show that's about tying things together into a "main" plot. Either way, my thoughts on the series (or at least, what I've seen of it) will come at the end.
