Helluva Boss Episode 1!
Click here for the liveblog.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WELL THAT WAS FUCKED UP
Amphibia Shorts!
Click here for the liveblog.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Well! That was a cute set of shorts. I liked that. Very little substances, but fun little peeks into the lives of Anne and the Plantars. My favorite was the video game one--I thought the spritework was very cute, the chiptune rendition of the main theme was...
Kino's Journey Episode 13 Part 1!
Click here for the liveblog.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Well that was a cryptic last line! Did they stop worrying because they decided the other travelers were wrong, or because they've seen something I haven't picked up on? Do people just find themselves wanting to stay and have a hard time rejecting th...
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, Episode 5 Part 1!
Click here for the liveblog.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ugh, I'm so mad at Dave. This episode's going to make me cringe a bunch, I can tell. I'm proud of Kipo for fucking with him like that on the fly, though. Well played. The wolves should be an interesting group--I can't wait to see the battle ...
Amphibia Episode 10!
Click here for the liveblog.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~That was a fun one. Not too consequential, but Anne (hopefully) learned a good lesson and it was heartwarming to see the Planters support her. Not bad at all. I'm kind of itching for there to be Main Plot, though.That’s it for today’s liveblog, so t...
Kino's Journey Episode 12 Part 2!
Click here for the full episode.Click here for just this half.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Well! That was messed up! That was awful! Great evils being perpetrated on innocent people, and then those no-longer-innocent people perpetrating smaller evils on more innocent people. I don't like that the victims in t...
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts Episode 4 Part 2!
Click here for the full episode.Click here for just this half.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Man, this show is good. I really do prefer shows with an ongoing storyline as opposed to episodic experiences, and this is a good one. The main cast is good, the side characters are neat, the way you get swept along with Ki...
Amphibia Episode 9!
Click here for the liveblog.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I liked that one. Actual character development for Anne? A tale of derring-do? A cute snail? This was a good one. I really like that Hoppop is genuinely enthusiastic about Sprig and Anne learning to drive, that was a little unexpected. I wonder how much dri...
Kino's Journey Episode 12 Part 1!
Click here for the liveblog.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Man, I'm curious as hell about this "war". Is it a yearly skirmish that determines some political aspect of the "truce"? Is it against the other country at all? That live fire training was concerning. What sort of bloodsport are we about...
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts Episode 4 Part 1!
Click here for the liveblog.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The snakes are pretty cool! I like how many of the mutant races are musical, and I definitely appreciate the rock more than what the cats were playing. Great character designs, too. I wonder, will this just earn Kipo safe passage, or will the party now have...
Amphibia Episode 8!
Click here for the liveblog.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~That was a very fun one. I wasn't expecting a "everyone's scheming against everyone else because one person is lying and everyone else is being dumb" plot to be that enjoyable! It adds a lot to Hoppop's character that he's so into An...
Kino's Journey Episode 11 Part 2!
Click here for the full episode.Click here for just this half.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Man, that was REALLY interesting at the end there! That was messed up in a really fascinating way. I like that the indomitability of the human spirit was implied, rather than stated outright--no matter what those people did...
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts Episode 3 Part 2!
Click here for the full episode.Click here for just this part.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~That was a very fun one (except for having to watch the cats vomit everywhere). The cats are great and a detailed society, the party is feeling more and more like a cohesive group, the dynamic between everyone is great, Kip...
Amphibia Episode 7!
Click here for the liveblog.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~That was a good one. Domino 2 was really cute, Anne's emotional arc was very well done, and Domino 2 was also a really good monster design. I liked that a lot. And Hoppop loves pets! Who knew! He just completely forgave Anne because he knew what it was ...
Kino's Journey Episode 11 Part 1!
Click here for the liveblog.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~We’re getting another look at Young Kino! I’ve been hoping we’d get this for a while. It’ll be cool to see how they got to be the way they are now.Kino’s passivity I’m less a fan of. Their policy of just standing by while other people do things ...
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts Episode 3 Part 1!
Click here for the liveblog.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The fun worldbuilding continues. The cat lumberjack civilization is pretty neat, and they’re fairly fleshed out already. I like it. I feel bad for them, despite them trying to sell our protagonists to a crime lord or whatever Scarlemagne turns out to be. ...
Amphibia Episode 6!
Click here for the liveblog.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Holy shit, poor Sprig! He was completely terrified! How traumatic must that have been for him? When he was curled up crying it really hit me that he’s just a little kid. That poor kid. I hope everyone got together after this and hashed it out, because hol...

Kino's Journey Episode 10 Part 2!
Click here for the full episode.Click here for just this half.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Man, that SUCKS. Those poor robots. So overwhelmed by the prospect of being alone and “pointless” that they couldn’t handle it. And Kino barely reacted! I guess they didn’t really see the robots as people, but god d...
Amphibia Episode 5!
Click here for the liveblog.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~That was a fun one. I’m kind of sad they didn’t get to make pizza, but the bonding was nice and it was a pretty amusing one. Also, I LOVE Sprig’s creepy fiance and I hope she shows up a bunch.That’s going to be all for today! Tomorrow we’re contin...
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts Episode 2 Part 1!
Click here for the liveblog.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Benson and Dave are fun. I enjoy roguish characters that step up to help people when the chips are down, and these two have a fun dynamic. And it’s time to go to the rescue! Character development! This is going to be fun.It’ll be a long swim, though.Tha...
Kino's Journey Episode 10 Part 1!
Click here for the liveblog.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Man, this episode is just full of twists and turns! An old lady pretending to be a robot tending to a family or robots pretending to be human, a city at the bottom of a lake, food waste that should shame anyone in the world. This is an interesting one. I li...
Amphibia Episode 4!
Click here for the liveblog.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~That was fun. The core humor didn’t overstay its welcome, it had some fun character development for Anne and Sprig, and the lampreys were pretty good horror. I liked it. Remember, kids, communication is important in friendships! If you leave it off and ju...
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts Episode 1 Part 2!
Click here for the full episode.Click here for just this half.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~What an immediately intriguing show. I’m always a sucker for a cool post-apocalyptic world, the animation is great, the monster design is neat, the characters are fun, it’s got evil frog people, the works. I’m looking...
Kino's Journey Episode 9 Part 2!
Click here for the full episode.Click here for just this half.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Damn. What an episode. Setting aside the fairly simple surface-level story, this raises a ton of questions--what does it mean to be a part of the story of the world? How in control of our own lives are we? How do we square w...
Amphibia Episode 3!
Click here for the liveblog.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ARE THEY NOT GOING TO TELL HIM ABOUT THEIR ADVENTURE COME ONThat was a fun episode. Not really a standout or anything, but perfectly serviceable and with some character development for Anne. Good on her for facing the consequences of her actions.That’s go...
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, Episode 1 Part 1!
Click here for the liveblog.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This is a very fun show so far. Kipo’s likable and amusing, the worldbuilding is great, and I’m very interested in finding out what the hell happened to the world that it ended up like this.That’s going to be it for Kipo for right now--up next is goin...
Kino's Journey Episode 9 Part 1!
Click here for the liveblog.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The patron who picked this show told me before I started this episode that it was their favorite, and I can see why. I’m drawn in. I’ve got strong opinions about books and the freedom to read (as you can probably tell) and this episode is tying into tho...
Fooly Cooly Episode 6 Part 2!
Click here for the full episode.Click here for just this half.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~And that’s...Fooly Cooly.What an interesting show. I find myself wishing that it was longer; there’s so much worldbuilding that would’ve been cool to see fleshed out. On the other hand, the brevity and mystery of the ...
