Only just managed to get caught up (didn't realize Toonami would be rolling right into season 3 immediately), and, I'm just gonna call this out. I don't think the mother truly earned her redemption in the end. Sure, final act of self sacrifice is great and all. But, narratively, it lacked sufficient justification.The last we had seen of her, prior to possession, she literally had just told her kids to their faces that she wished she never had them (or whatever exact wording). And yeah, sure, we know that was largely by the influence of her lover.. but she was still full of conviction when she said it, and it tracked with her vanity/conceitedness and generally regarding him higher than her own kids. These are all pieces that fit together with what was presented. So, where's the exposition for what caused the change of heart from "I hate you" to "You're my treasure"? Where was any display of remorse for her words? Where was any acknowledgement of the harm she caused in the way she treated her daughters? I ain't saying any of it is fake.. just, writing clearly chose to gloss over all that to get straight to emotional impact. But, I think, on analysis, it leaves her looking a bit undeserving of the forgiveness.

This doesn't qualify as weird, but I needed somewhere to stash it. This is a reupload to avoid any age restriction nonsense Batman set to Dethklok. Animated in Flash. And damn does it genuinely look great. Also is just nice to take me back to the days of Metalocalypse in its prime.

From my last purchase, the important part I remembered, basically just stay away from anything "flagship." The mainline stuff, the things everybody knows because they're the only ones to get all the ad space and shit. For galaxy, that'd be the S series. The number of people that will actually ever utilize the top-of-the-line models to their fullest potential is probably triple digits or less. I personally like hitting up mid-range models, the A series. Some hardware compromises you'll probably never even notice, saves big money. Then I think there's some region specific lines you wouldn't need to worry about.

Followed up by some weird in the weird way. Seriously.. this one hurt my brain. This was a "that's enough internet" moment. I thought it was, like, a weeb parody band or something?? But, near as I can tell, they maybe actually are in Japan.. and judging by comments, clearly have a Japanese audience.. but listening to them utterly failing, and I mean not even trying to sound remotely Japanese is a mind break.

Weird in the best way, something so unique.

You guys had it in your basic package?? Last few areas I've been to, it's been in a premium package for a long while now. Big contributing factor for me just cutting loose.

This is undeniably praiseworthy. I'm watching along/ahead off of Toonami now that it's been picked up here. While I get the draw (lol, pun), initial impressions were a bad feeling that this is another one that starts off with an eye-catching premise, but the story, whatever it is, will lack a clear end goal. Feel like I'm getting burnt out on these shows that start out with potential, but end up taking too long to tell their story and it all just fizzles out.

Would the format have even worked if they dragged it out for 20 minutes? Surely you'd just end up with a soulless cash grab. But. In an era of Shorts and TikToks and so forth.. I could totally see that finding a new audience.

It's almost disappointing that a bot is able to recognize satire better than a lot of people we've seen read a VirtualSatyr story..

Stampede.. took some getting used to. Wildly different animation style. Major loss of that iconic soundtrack. But, given the chance, still tells a pretty good story.

Only recently realized how badly I dropped the ball on this one.. I'd largely written this off as out of reach without cable, since it wasn't on CR (and I'm not subbed elsewhere..). And just remembered. The [as] app does eventually offer eps to watch for free. A bit delayed. But eventually. Kinda looks like maybe some of them have already shown and are now locked, tho. Maybe get to watch the first episode at least....

And then there's this..
