Star Trek: Discovery: 4x03 Choose to Live

So many emotions! I cried more than once... I love the character growth on this show, and the writing is getting better and better every season.

Fena: Pirate Princess: 1x11 At Mission's End

I freaking love how the Goblin Knights handled Abel’s crew. They really are a tightly woven deadly team, and Yukimaru wasn’t even there!!!

Fena: Pirate Princess

I am eight episodes in, and I am up waiting every Sunday for the new episode to drop.

The story's underlying mystery, and romance, is developing and playing out so well. I am thoroughly enjoying it. Eight episodes in, I am deeply attached to every instance of Yukimaru's telltale red ears. They appear in what are now my two favourite episodes.

For a show not originally grounded in manga, it is my deep hope that they do not abandon this story after one season. As it is a Crunchyroll/Adult Swim original collaboration, I have hopes they will push on with a second season, and hopefully more people will pick it up.

Between this and Tokyo Revengers, it makes my weekend watch. I'm distressed there are only four episodes left.

I adore Yukimaru and his red ears!

Really Love

Slow paced, this screenplay was not only predictable, it was largely one dimensional in character scope, rote and almost mundane in its execution.

I fear they’re doing Siriboe dirty by refusing to give him much to stretch himself against. He feels almost typecast here, and despite him displaying a broader range of emotions that he normally does on Queen Sugar, he still didn’t feel real. He sure is pretty to watch on anything though.

The hair and make up, costume design and lighting in the film were impeccable though. I wanted to shop in the wardrobe department, cop earrings, steal shoes...

Gosh... but the way I shouted at the immaturity of the characters! Why allyuh nuh talk, nah? It presents this Black relationship in this very flat, uninspired way, and the characters their choices and motivations seemed so familiar... oh wait. lovejones wore it better and came to a better conclusion.

The final fifteen minutes felt rushed, to the point of abrupt end. That made me feel that much of what went previously should have been better condensed and structured to allow for some kind of end that didn’t leave a brassy taste in my mouth.

Skip this...

Fruits Basket

One of the best third seasons of ANY show I’ve watched ever.

The writers and producers are to be commended for such a satisfying end to such a beautiful show.

Many don’t understand why this show gets the hype it does, but honestly, you have no heart if you can watch even Season 1 without feeling ‘something’!

It was a pleasure to see Kyo find his feet, and Toru find her world.

Also, I loved so many of the artful moments, quiet and unassuming, but conveying sooooo much story in just a few frames.

Truly... this is a show worth watching and rewatching, and is destined to become a classic for the ages.

Ever Night: 2x05 Episode 5

I want to cry! My sweet, pure, beautiful Sang Sang! Episode is almost over. I may be warming up to Dylan Wang a bit. He did so well in this episode. The entire episode all I keep thinking is, “I have one sword to protect Sang Sang so she sleeps well at night.”

Fruits Basket

This is really exceptional story telling. You laugh, you cry, you pine... it’s a beautiful tale.

If you’re just starting this, the first few episodes may seem like run-of-the-mill stuff, but as the mystery deepens, so do the yarns binding the tale together beautifully.

Really 10/10

Horimiya: 1x04 Everybody Loves Somebody

This was the episode that melted me... I am now officially hooked.

The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent

This show’s cuteness can’t be denied, but it is heart warming. The animation is quite wonky, but the artwork in some scenes is stunning. The half drawn faces and slideshow scenes only detract a little from the story. It is engaging and the characters like able enough to want to keep going.

As it aired this year, it might come back with another cour, but who knows.

If you like iskei, and slice of life, this is a nice little treat.

Snow White with the Red Hair: 1x05 This Path, the Crytallization of Premonition

Oh my gosh!

“Have a seat over here.”
“Sure.”
“Close your eyes and count to sixty.”
“Huh? Is this a joke?”
“No it’s not. Close your eyes and don’t open them.”
“But what for?”
“Now! One...”
“Eyes are closed!”
“Twoooo... Threeeee...”

:heart:

Snow White with the Red Hair: 1x04 From the Small Hand, a Burgeoning Concerto Resonates

This story is simple, but very cute. The art is wonderful... just exquisite in places. The story is simple but somehow satisfying, like comfort food. This episode was the best yet. The story is definitely warming up.

Cagaster of an Insect Cage

The animation is a lil weird, but the story is quite good, and well told.

Don’t mind the folks on the Internet streets who disparage it, it wasn’t a bad show and I got sucked in quickly and my attention held until the last shot.

Illie is cute. Kidou is ‘the bad boy’. There is a villainous empire, bureaucratic foolishment, political wrangling, back biting, great big insect monsters, plot twists, romance... stop complaining about the animation. There is more than enough meat here to make a meal.

I loved many of the side characters too, especially the orphans and Miss Mario. Miss Mario was my favourite never mind the hammy voice acting, I still loved the character, her impressive jaw and lovely bows.

Yes it’s weird in places, but there is some gorgeous art in there too, and the story is solid. Well worth watching.

For All Mankind

I did not expect to like this show, and when I pulled it up and saw RDM, I blinked and said, Oh definitely.” And I wasn’t proved wrong. I’m pretty sure if RDM wants to do anything he will get the money to do it. His ability to find and pull the right people together to tell a specific story is phenomenal to me. He never disappoints. Long story short: This is great! It is very good. The season 2 closer was devastating. But of course, beautifully sets up Season 3. Do it. It’s a great watch.
