Cartoon Season

This show is weird for me. I know it's a super popular show, but it has mixed reviews. I think it had a strong start, with a fun premise, and likable characters. But then it "ends" 2/3 of the way through, and I'm wondering what the rest of the show is. Then there's a weird thing with his "sister", and a creepy thing involving Asuna. And then, they decide to go back into the game. Absolutely wild.

Tohru is too pure. She just walks through life blissful as can be. But she carries her own type of trauma, that doubles as an unintentional device to help the ones she loves. This is one of the more emotional shows I've seen recently, and it's firing on all cylinders. I hope they're able to break the curse.

I feel like this is a dream for some, and a nightmare for others. Going back to high school is quite the decision. But when you've essentially flushed your life down the toilet, there really aren't any downsides. This show has some fun characters, that all have some things to work through. Also, make sure to watch the OVAs, because they are the actual ending to the show.

So...you're telling me that everyone's a titan now? That's just the world now? Also there's this beast titan that is super intelligent, can speak, and is a general to the other titans? This just isn't fair anymore. At least in season 1 there was a little bit of hope. Now it looks like they may as well just dig their graves now.

The nostalgia hits hard with this one. I had this on VHS, and watched it all the time. Truly a Dreamworks classic. Little did they know, this would spawn several sequels, then get bought out by their major competitor Disney, then get milked dry. But we'll talk about that another day.

I'll be the first to admit I was wrong about this show. I actually first watched the 1st season like 4 years ago, and I didn't like it. I though everyone was overrating this show. After watching it again, I realize old me was delusional, because this season is spectacular. So many dope characters, and some mystery elements I didn't expect.

Honestly, the penguins steal the show for me. I love characters who just pop up every now and again, but do wacky things. Who would've thought that these little birds would basically be secret agents, capable of a mutiny? Of course, the gang of animals getting stranded on "Connecticut" is a fun ride as well. This is also a nice setup for adventures to continue as a franchise.

Shrek is love, Shrek is life. Memes aside, this movie is legitimately good. There's a reason it spawned three sequels (and possibly a fourth?). Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy are a great pair, and never stop firing off jokes. There's a lot of (not so) subtle world-building with the fairytales, that admittedly gets more fleshed out as the series goes on.

I mention it more than necessary in this episode, but I'm in awe of how much emotion the characters can portray with almost no dialogue between the two main characters. Not only that, it's pretty cool to see a dinosaur fight stuff. And then we have the surprise cliffhanger, that can really open up the world.

Light deserved this, right? I'm not sure that the ends justify the means in this scenario. I'd be terrified of even touching something called the 'Death Note'. That's bad news. I do like the dynamic between Light and L. By far the best part of this show, seeing them go blow for blow. 37 episodes is a weird choice, but it works.
