Steins;Gate 0 Ep 11 – Anti-Thesis
At some point, excitement hits a point of diminishing returns. Any good narrative needs to know when to take a little break and give the audience a chance to breathe. Or else, little by little, consequences start to loose their impact and you risk making viewers Jared and too exhausted to care.
Finish Line – Uma Musume Pretty Derby Ep 13 (with Cactus Matt)
Cactus Matt and I wrap up our joint watch of Uma Musume Pretty Derby. Apparently he’s sti talking to me…I’m as amazed as you guys are! Also this week TWIST: I’m in bold! Keeping you guys on your toes.
MEGALOBOX Ep 11 – Second Wind
Genre : Cyberpunk, Sports!, action, cool Studio: TMS Entertainment Last episode ended on possibly the best cliffhanger we’ve seen from Megalo box (I’ve been hanging off cliffs all season…) and I was genuinely curious to see what Joe would do. He’s still essentially a brick, by that I mean a narrative foundation with no significant…
A Record of Grancrest War Ep 23 – David and Goliath
Genre : Fantasy, Adventure, action, political Studio: A-1 Pictures I had to actually look up how many episodes A Record of Grancrest War is slotted for because I cannot see how they are going to just wrap things up next week. Admittedly it wouldn’t be out of character for this series to just stop mid…
Steins;Gate 0 Ep 10 – Space Time Oddity
I think I may finally have gotten that filler episode I’ve been clamoring for. Steins;Gate 0 took a deep breath this week and just sort of chilled. We didn’t get any major revelations or action sequences, instead the show took a little time to indulge in some silliness, some light-hearted humour and some dubious fan…
MEGALOBOX Ep 10 – Once a Scoundrel
Genre : Cyberpunk, Sports!, action, cool Studio: TMS Entertainment The last few episodes of Megalobox really renewed my interest in the series. I was truly looking forward to this week and the resolution of that cliffhanger ending with the mob guy that looks like he could be a decent boxer too. I wasn’t too sure…
A Record of Grancrest War Ep 22 – Concern
Genre : Fantasy, Adventure, action, political Studio: A-1 Pictures I don’t know guys, the last few episodes have highlighted the frustrating inconsistency and disregard for plot integrity that have plagued A Record of Grancrest War throughout the season. And this one is no better. Although it did have it’s moments it did seem like a…
Steins;Gate 0 Ep 9 – The Comfort of a Familiar Ache
At this point in my life, I’ve made my peace with the fact that I’m John Snow… I know nothing. I’ve read a few reviews for Steins;Gate 0 that accuse it of being very poorly written drivel relying entirely on nostalgia. That may be true, after all, what do I know? All I can say…
Don’t call it a comeback – Uma Musume Pretty Derby Ep 11 (with Cactus Matt)
Cactus Matt and I are continuing our joint watch of Uma Musume Pretty Derby. I’m beginning to think we are going to make it to the end of the season! As usual Matt is in Bold!
MEGALOBOX Ep 9 – American Dreams
Genre : Cyberpunk, Sports!, action, cool Studio: TMS Entertainment Now that’s more like it. I’m not sure whether I should credit Mikio for Megalo Box’ recent return to form or the fact that these match centric episodes mostly cut out the kid, but this was another thoroughly enjoyable episode. I’m looking forward to seeing how…
A Record of Grancrest War Ep 21 – Rage of Mages
Genre : Fantasy, Adventure, action, political Studio: A-1 Pictures It’s finally summer here in Montreal. Has been for a whole 2 days! Next week is suppose to be jacket whether again but right now it’s down right simmering. I just looked it up, it’s 79F. The one upside to Quebec’s ridiculous heatwave is that we…
Steins;Gate 0 Ep 8 – Okabe And The Real Girl
I decided to just stop assuming things in Steins;Gate. What’s the point? I mean sure, episode 7’s ending brought up so many questions, memories, feelings! This time surely, they’ve overplayed their hand. If it gets resolved in the first scene as it usually does, that’s going to be just as cheap and hollow as the…
MEGALOBOX Ep 8 – Stranger Bedfellows
Genre : Cyberpunk, Sports!, action, cool Studio: TMS Entertainment Another week, another good episode of Megalobox. I’m not going to lie, I was getting rather disenchanted by this series for a while there but these last few weeks have revived my enthusiasm for this show. I still think it’s occasionally overhyped and has a tendency…
A Record of Grancrest War Ep 20 – Hold the Line
Genre : Fantasy, Adventure, action, political Studio: A-1 Pictures So who else has played Mass Effect? Did you think of that speech instantly? You know, Captain Kirrahe’s stirring address to the Salarian troops just before their attack on Saren’s lab. It was such an unlikely character for this type of scene but it worked so…
