Digging into Maddness (or I finally finished the Soul Eater Manga): my White Whale

Soul Eater, the anime series about scythe miester Maka and her scythe-human hybrid partner Soul and her band of monster hunting friends, was one of my most influential anime series. It’s haunted aesthetic, great fights, animation, and fun characters made a giant impact on my teenage years. It was a series I watched three times in a row back on YouTube when companies would post … Continue reading Digging into Maddness (or I finally finished the Soul Eater Manga): my White Whale

Basket Full of Heads will Roll (a Comic Review)

Even as specifically horror season ends it is still getting cooler and darker, still spooky. So I figure it’s fine enough reason to finally look at the first in DC Comics and Joe Hill’s Hill House series: Basket Full of Heads. Joe Hill, the son of horror legend Stephen King, has had his share of smash works that I never got to experience correctly. Locke … Continue reading Basket Full of Heads will Roll (a Comic Review)

So, Rise Against did a Song for DC’s Death Metal (a look at Broken Dreams Inc.)

Watch the video: https://youtu.be/fSure8z1lF4 DC’s Dark Nights: Metal was one of the biggest, craziest, darkest, and more beloved event books in comic history. A real metal inspired story and look that’s been escalated with all I’ve seen in this sequel series, Death Metal. It is almost perfect synergy to get a song to illustrate all the book represents and stands for and Rise Against is … Continue reading So, Rise Against did a Song for DC’s Death Metal (a look at Broken Dreams Inc.)

A Volume-by-Volume Checkin of Eden Zero: Volume 8

Eden Zero continues to be an incredibly strange series to try and cover as someone who reads not just a lot of manga, but many books, and watches a ton of shows and movies, and track progress in a creators work by how they’ve evolved, changed, or stagnated. All of this amounts to me see Eden Zero as both the pinnacle of what Hiro Mashima … Continue reading A Volume-by-Volume Checkin of Eden Zero: Volume 8

New Mutants is an Experience We’ve Been Waiting for A Long Time (a Review)

New Mutants is an experience so many of us have been waiting for, even if you don’t care about the movie, because it’s a return to the cinema. That is, on top of a movie that has been in delayed and development for years, even after being completed. That makes it all the more exciting and terrifying to see how if it lives up to … Continue reading New Mutants is an Experience We’ve Been Waiting for A Long Time (a Review)

A Look Back at my X-Men: X-Men Evolution Season 4

I would be incredibly interested in the production history of this series, and this season specifically. The season feels like the team somehow knew it would both be it’s last but were unaware of the limited episode count. The season ends climactically enough, and we’ll get to that, but also sets up ideas that it doesn’t pay off (in the season), again, we’ll get to … Continue reading A Look Back at my X-Men: X-Men Evolution Season 4

Umbrella Academy Season 2 is a Better Second Season than Most (a Review)

Umbrella Academy Season One felt like a message to the world that Netflix didn’t need Marvel or DC heroes to make a riveting, stylish, strongly character driven series. It was such a breath of fresh air that ended on a really good cliffhanger. The problem, now, is that it’s a season two and Netflix series are infamous for not having success trying to follow up … Continue reading Umbrella Academy Season 2 is a Better Second Season than Most (a Review)

A Look Back at My X-Men: X-Men Evolution Season 3

The title of this series is now automatically wrong for I have not seen the rest of the show before this viewing. I thought I did, though it’s hard to tell when you’re a kid just how much or how little you’ve seen of a show with constant reruns (for a great polar example I thought I only saw a little bit of Cowboy Bebop … Continue reading A Look Back at My X-Men: X-Men Evolution Season 3
