Interstella 5555: “the 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem” (part one)
"Musicians are magicians, that's what I always say. I've always had this dream or hope since my childhood, and the dream itself came toward me. How should I explain this...I have all these lights in my head."

Space Strikers E1: "Best of Friends, Worst of Enemies" (continued)
I don't think I've EVER seen a story work so hard to avoid doing something interesting. However, I'm also pretty sure that it wasn't the creators' fault that things had to turn out like this.

Space Strikers E1: "Best of Friends, Worst of Enemies"
The man known as Master Phantom was born by the name of Vincent Burke, and he and Nemo were BFF's back in the earth space force academy. Here are a couple of off-model cadets walking side by side to prove it.

Kill Six Billion Demons III: “Seeker of Thrones” (part five)
Why do I imagine Oscar sounding like the Robot Devil from Futurama?


Fate/Zero S2E5: "Distant Memories"
The author isn't normally anywhere near this bad at exposition. I suspect that this is that ever-annoying adaptation decision when they take a piece of third person omniscient narration and shove it into the mouth of a random character.

Kill Six Billion Demons III: “Seeker of Thrones” (part four)
“Spare a thought for me when you take over the multiverse.”

Fate/Zero S2E4: the Eighth Contract (continued even more)
I have no idea why THIS act of lethal violence, rather than all the many, many others that the characters have performed over the show so far, is being shot like Michael Meyers murdering a suspiciously mature-looking cheerleader.

Fate/Zero S2E4: “the Eighth Contract” (continued)
For the time being, I'll just reiterate what I said before about Fate/Zero epitomizing both the best and the worst aspects of Gen Urobuchi's writing.


Katalepsis 1.5 (and now the conclusion)
That's "Mind; Correlating," the first arc of Katalepsis. A hell of a strong start!



Fate/Zero S2E3: “The End of Honor”
As much as they both enjoyed that post-battle spitroasting earlier this evening, Arturia has orders. And, really, this was going to have to happen sooner or later. As she summons her armor, she explains that the other Servants are either banished, exhausted, or off being salty right now, so this would be a perfect time for Arturia and Diarmuid to finally finish that duel they started all the way back in early season one. Diarmuid smiles, says that it's been fun, but he agrees. Not that either of them really have much of a choice.

Kill Six Billion Demons III: “Seeker of Thrones” (part three)
I'm wondering if he literally just teleports a drug into his clients' bloodstreams.


Akudama Drive S1E2: “Reservoir Dogs”
It's way more interesting than a backstory needs to be for this kind of show, honestly.

Texhnolyze S1E11: Vagrant
Content warning for incest and (at least strongly implied) child sexual abuse.

Akudama Drive S1E1: “Se7en” (continued)
So, what exactly is an "akudama," then? Still not exactly clear.
