“The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals” (part four)
It's good. It could be really, really good with better production values, a bigger cast, and maybe a liiiittle bit of trimming and moving things around here and there. It might come close to greatness, but there are too many really fundamental flaws (the mostly so-so music being the biggest) for it to get all the way there in my opinion.

“The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals” (part three)
His name is Bill, not Tim. Wonder how I could have misheard that?

“The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals” (part two)
Once again, the faux-horror movie dialogue scenes here are gold, and it isn't just thanks to the script.

“The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals” (part one)
Musical-hating guy is going to have to fight musical mind control aliens.


Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc V S1E7: “Imperial Wrath of Treason”
Last episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc V in queue, at least. So that's one good thing I suppose.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc V S1E6: “Death-Toy Scissor Bear”
You can tell me that this is just a kids' show and isn't meant to be scrutinized like this. I'll reply that if you want your kids to take the short bus to school for the next five years, you can feel free to let them watch it.

Fullmetal Alchemist S2E29: “The Adults' Way of Life”
Thank you, FMA:B, for being there when I need you.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V S1E5: “Aspiring Apprentice”
Two episodes to go. Two episodes to go. Two episodes to go. Two episodes to go. Two episodes to go.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V S1E4: “The Only Hope”
The answer to my question is apparently "the duel never had any stakes or consequences and was a complete waste of time."

Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V S1E3: “Dark Village Pendulum Summon Stolen”
I'm trying to think if there was any age I could have watched this at without seeing at least some of these problems. Maybe at age 4-6? 7, on a bad day?

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood S2E28: “Beyond the Inferno”
Beyond the inferno. Mustang either finding light at the end of the tunnel, or dying. One or the other. Maybe both.

Astro City II #10: “Show 'Em All”
He kinda reminds me of Vermin Supreme, just a little bit.

Of Want and Will (K6BD book 2 analysis)
This volume has a lot going on in it, both in terms of worldbuilding and story progression, and in themes and subtext. With the intricacy of the story and cast both sharply increasing after the end of book one, it's also tricky to organize into a single thesis.
Which, honestly, may be part of the point, because Kill Six Billion Demons is a postmodernist work in both the literary and the political sense.


Kill Six Billion Demons II: “Wielder of Names” (part six)
Zoss knew what he was doing when he chose his heir.

“Ex Machina” #2
The NYPD threatening the democratically elected mayor into not "stepping on their toes." What a far-out, fantastical premise.

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood S2E27: “Flame of Vengeance”
That's a Mustang vs. Envy title if I ever heard one. I'm sure once they talk it over and see each other's sides of the story they'll be able to resolve this amicably.

Kill Six Billion Demons: Tales of Ys-Aesma
Ys-Aesma; the chaotic goddess of want, struggle, and aspiration, and the creator of humanity.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes S1E2: “The Battle of Astarte”
I wish I could say that it’s hard to pick a favorite and that both adaptations have their own merits, but I’m not in the business of lying to y’all.
