Arcane: Season 2 (part two (the second))
So, Victor has sculpted a little section of the Zaun outskirts into a psychedelic pseudo-organic landscape, where his cult of former shimmer-addicts are becoming a cyborg hive mind.
Arcane: Season 2 (part two)
This was an idea that someone had. They then proceed to include this idea in the story.
Arcane: Season 2 (part one (part two (parenthesis)))
So I guess Victor was right, but like...not for the reasons that he said?
Arcane: Season 2 (part one)
For the most part, the first act of Arcane's second season is exactly what you'd expect. This is an intentionally double-edged description.
Oh My Goddess (2005) S1E1-4
There's a great story in here about luck, fortune, and agency. It being bound at the hip to "submissive magic girlfriend, wut do?" in this particular way is deeply unfortunate.
Oh My Goddess! E4-5: "Evergreen Holy Night" and "For the Love of Goddess"
I literally cannot make sense of this resolution.
Oh My Goddess! E3: "Burning Hearts on the Road"
You know, if it turns out that Belldandy just has an extreme submissive fetish that her sisters are weirded out by, and the only reason she's going through with all of this because it makes her wet, that would actually redeem this.
The Amazing Digital Circus E3: "The Mystery of Mildenhall Manor"
The makeup of a body and mind, or the lack thereof.
The Owl House S1E15-16: "Understanding Willow" and "Enchanting Grom Fright"
Luz being sent to a parody of gay conversion camps hits a lot different with her being actually gay.
The Owl House S1E7 and S1E12: "Lost in Language" and "Adventures in the Elements"
Episode seven, "Lost in Language," is where most of the positive is concentrated. Episode twelve, "Adventures in the Elements," is where most of the negative can be found. Not all, but most.
The Owl House S1E4-5: "The Intruder" and "Covention"
Luz can learn from Eda, but just as much by taking her as an instructive bad example as by imitation. Eda gets by, but life is harder than it needs to be for her and the people she ostensibly cares about.
Undone S1E1-2
The ambiguity is a big part of the show's allure, and that allure is very strong.
Shadows House S1E7: "An Incomplete Map"
The most dangerous kind of person for any oppressive regime. Clever, unpredictable, and cares more about doing what's right than keeping herself alive.
Pepper Ann S3E6: "A Kosher Christmas"
Have any of you ever actually met someone who celebrates Kwanzaa? I swear to god, white children's TV writers in the 90's and 2000's were the largest demographic of that holiday's celebrants.
Shadow's House S1E6: "The Garden Labyrinth"
It seems like he's being watched. And like a senior Shadows his judging his judgements. Which calls the entire point of him into question. Hmm.
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (S1E8-10)
My enjoyment of this series is probably going to fluctuate in exact inverse correlation with its demon focus.
The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh ("Find Her Keep Her" and "The Piglet Who Would Be King")
"Find Her Keep Her" doesn't feel very Winnie the Pooh, but it honestly feels like something better than that.
"The Piglet Who Would Be King," meanwhile, was simply written on crack.
"Oh My Goddess!" E1 vis a vis "Verthandi in the Middle" Ch1
I'm going to be reviewing the first episode of the 1993 OVA, alongside the first chapter of a kinda-sorta fanfic written by ArlequineLunaire.
Pepper Ann ("Dances with Ignorance," "Girl Power," and "Miss Moose")
Heh, I forgot what a textbook ADHD case Pepper Ann was.
