• cowboy bebop 30 day challenge, day 3: in which I have a least favorite episode …

    Okay, this isn’t the worst episode by far, but … you know when you can’t stand something but have difficulty explaining exactly why that is? So “Gateway Shuffle” is that for me. Is it the goofy premise – eco-terrorists turning people into monkeys for reasons – or the over-the-top voice acting, which is usually top…

  • cowboy bebop 30 day challenge, day 2: in which I have a favorite episode …

    Now, I’m fairly certain that I’ve already said something like this, but I think it’s good to revisit certain ideas from time to time: favorite does not always equal best. I mean, one of my favorite movies of all time is Surf Ninjas, and it is objectively an absolutely terrible movie. This is not to…

  • cowboy bebop 30 day challenge, day 1: in which I was introduced to cowboy bebop …

    I have Toonami to thank for so many things: The Big O, Tenchi Muyo, Reboot, Sailor Moon, Space Dandy, Gundam Wing, and … of course, Cowboy Bebop. To be completely honest, I didn’t particularly care for it at first. I mean, I didn’t hate it, but it’s not like I would stay up late to…

    30 day challenge

    Ahhh, Cowboy Bebop … I said this on the challenge’s main page, but this series basically ruined all other anime for me. My expectations are high – from a storytelling perspective to animation style to voice acting, Cowboy Bebop is essentially flawless. Naturally, I’ll be talking some shit about it a little bit later –…

    Glutton for punishment, I suppose, but yes, I’m going to try to complete NaNo again this year. The likelihood that my word count will suffer due to my schoolwork, burgeoning mental health journey, spiritual study, and various other things that my brain constantly thinks about, but hey, at least I’m trying. Also, be on the…

    Well, that was bracing. I will definitely be talking about a few of the movies from last week in more depth when I get a chance, but for now, it’s onto Week Two. Oh, and correction from last week! I realized that I had misspoken when I said I hadn’t ever seen Vampire Hunter D:…

    In a bid to keep myself accountable in my creative pursuits whilst in nursing school, I’m going to make myself some additional challenges. Naturally, school does have to come first, so I may have to fudge some things, but my plan is to watch at least one horror movie per day throughout the entire month…

  • 31 day star wars challenge, day 31: in which star wars inspires me …

    I really can’t think of any other piece of cinema or literature that has influenced me in the way that Star Wars has. It was my first love and remains a comfort for me. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve been able to look at it more critically than I did when I first saw it,…

  • 31 day star wars challenge, day 30: in which I discuss what I’d like to see next …

    I mean, I feel like this is a cheat post since there are about five million TV shows coming out soon, but hey, I’ll take a stab at this: I want to see more of the extended universe that was turned into Star Wars Legends become canon. I want me some Mara Jade, some Teneniel…

  • 31 day star wars challenge, day 29: in which I discuss prequels vs originals vs sequels …

    I am going to sum this up to avoid a tldr: I love the originals, the prequels are terrible yet enjoyable for the most part (almost in a spiteful way), and the sequels are … their own thing. Now for the longer version: It’s difficult to compare the three trilogies: they’re products of different times…
