MasqueradeOverture

FMA 8-12 I have a weird nostalgia for the Barry The Butcher episode (it was the 1st episode of FMA I randomly came upon on AS in the mid-00's). Also don't hate the Justin Cook fake-Elrics 2-parter as much as a lot of people do. General observations: Are the backgrounds traditional matte paintings? Wouldn't be surprised if in '03 studios were doing parts of production the old-fashioned way while digitally painting the characters in front of that. Also noticing a decent amount of tape hiss whenever a child actor speaks (as if they were recorded with a different [possibly analog] set up outside of Funi's studio or something due to child labor laws). EDIT: OH BOY. Found a tragic flaw in my approach to use Brotherhood's 1st episode as a pilot to my endeavors here and it's FUCKING HUGHES [In Brotherhood, the Elrics meet him right before Leore, whereas they've known each other for at least 3 years at that point in FMA 03]. This is gonna eat at me but whatever. Not splicing in any other Brotherhood episodes until I bounce off of FMA.

FMA 4-7 Hard to believe Mustang has the same VA in Brotherhood and the OG because here he sounds very... "light" I guess is the word. Also what I can gather from bouncing off of B's pilot to this is that it works! BUT I did notice that the dialogue for that one Brotherhood episode felt very shonen-y and, dare I say, "kiddy" compared to that of these episodes in the OG. It's almost like comparing Marvel fare to Ingmar Bergman. That and you're forced get to hear the introductory "HE'S THE FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST" twice.

I haven't seen either FMA or FMA:B since the latter was premiering on [AS] like 13 years ago... so guess what I'm doing? FMA:B 1 / FMA 1-3 MACHETE ORDER BABY.

I really hate the trend of adapting arcs/sagas into movies instead of television. Not that I care for the Demon Slayer news since I'm not a fan, but more-so with Chainsaw Man and Made In Abyss.

So how about that football?

I know of a perfect show: It starts with the letter R and it's about something else that starts with R

Ok this looks fire.

We have a winner folks pack it up

Dr. Stone S2 E4 - S3 E3 I didn't "drop" it, but fell off I think because of the dead singer recording stuff (FUNI/CR, please, stop dubbing songs. It's cringy as fuck and it never works). Picked it back up and powering through.

Ah... an Elaine situation, huh?

Oppenheimer In IMAX 70mm 1000/10

Nah I don't got financial room to start collecting something else.

Other than the fact that we never got a chapter 16.5 OVA?

I gotta rewatch Space Dandy one of these days (that shit was so ahead of its time).

2013 - 2016 was the revival block's peak.

My müstaché is tickling my brain

Oshii is a special man, isn't he? They should play Funky Forest. Raw. No subs. Visual context only.

Got a free $250 Visa card from Optimum and I'm thinking of blowing it on an ultra rare record someone stop me This was me after 1.5 weeks in LA. I'm kinda over NYC/NJ
