Kill Six Billion Demons IV: King of Swords (part twelve)
she really, really needs someone other than White Chain to call her on her bullshit.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shamballa (part three)
Conqueror of Shamballa is starting to shift from "weird, but good" to just "weird." Hopefully it bounces back.
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury S1E1: "The Witch and the Bride"
I'm not fond of the shonen-adjacent magic high school, at least in its most common form with its usual associated tropes. That would make this story a hard sell for me, regardless of where I found it.
Coming after a prologue that hews much closer to both what I'd expect from a new Gundam series and what I'd WANT from a new Gundam series, makes it a jarringly unpleasant surprise instead of just a hard sell.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shamballa (part two)
We're leaning much harder into the historical fiction aspect than I expected. Frankly, that just makes Edward Elric running around in the middle of the story even weirder and more surreal than it already was.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shamballa (part one)
I haven't watched the 03 series, and barely know anything about where the plot went toward the end, but like...what could have happened in it that would leave the writers in a place where THIS seemed like a good idea?
Kill Six Billion Demons IV: King of Swords (part eleven)
Even moreso than before, I feel like Killy just needs another person to call her on her bullshit. White Chain is almost uniquely unqualified to do this.
Mobile Suit Gundam: the Witch from Mercury S1E0: "Prologue"
This series really, really, really wants to be the 21st century's own UC. Does it succeed at this? I don't know.
Revolutionary Girl Utena S1E12: "Perhaps For Friendship's Sake"
The full power of the sword, with its pseudo-sexual activation method, has synergized with Touga's innate supply of rape energy to create something new and uniquely formidable.
Revolutionary Girl Utena S1E11: "Gracefully Cruel; the One Who Picks the Flower"
Utena, pull out a gun and shoot him, seriously, just Indiana Jones this bullshit.
Revolutionary Girl Utena S1E10: "Nanami's Precious One"
Why is she still on speaking terms with any of these psychos?
Ghost Song (part 3)
Not on the same playing field. Perhaps not even within multiple playing fields of each other. But still on the same continuum.
Ghost Song (part 1)
The reason *why* I've been wanting to do a pro bono review of this game for so long is because, to put it simply, Ghost Song might have the best writing of any video game I have ever played.
Revolutionary Girl Utena S1E9: "The Castle Said to Hold Eternity"
It takes a LOT to actually get kicked out of their school, but attempted murder with multiple witnesses and ample material and medical evidence is enough.
