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.
March Comes In Like a Lion E4: "May Comes In Like a Cheetah"
This episode is called "Versus," but that's a stupid name so I'm not going to use it.
March Comes In Like a Lion E3: “Beyond the Night Sky”
He apparently just has this giant wall-sized window facing east, that he sleeps under, and he has no curtains for it. You'd think he could at least move his bed further away from it, in the meantime?
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood S2E15: "The Abyss"
Along with "The Dwarf In the Flask," this episode did a lot to reassure me after my faith in the show was damaged.
WH40K: “Kal Jerico, Sinner’s Bounty” (part six)
That chapter was...something, alright. I don't know if it's something good, per se, but something certainly.
March Comes In Like a Lion E2: “April Comes In Like an Ocelot”
The given title for this episode on Netflix is just "Episode Two," so I felt like I should rise to the occasion. Since originally posting this on Patreon I learned that this was just a stupid omission on Netflix's part, but I don't care.
WH40K: Kal Jerico: Sinner's Bounty (part five)
It occurs to me that naming a planet "Necromunda" is basically just asking the necrons to land there and start hanging up new curtains and wallpaper. Maybe that's actually a ploy; trick the necrons into conquering this shithole of a planet, and then point and laugh as they try to run it.
March Comes In Like a Lion E1: “The Town Along The River”
Open on a creepy goff girl making fun of someone's name.
WH40K: “Kal Jerico: Sinner’s Bounty” (part 4)
It's been long enough. Let's start another little streak of Khal Drogo and the Fugitive of Necromunda!
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.
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood S2E14: “The Dwarf In the Flask“
“Well, I really don’t want to ask for too much, but…”
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.
