Review: Made in Abyss season 1

I first heard about Made in Abyss several years ago when I watched a review about it from Glass Reflection. I was intrigued, but, at the time went "Nah, horror stuff is not for me." However, as time has progressed, I've become much more intrigued by dark and questionable themes. I'm also much more aware of the various forms that horror content can take. While I still wouldn't touch a random slasher film--not because I'm scared, but because I find that kinda thing boring--psychological horror is something I've come to really enjoy. It's fascinating seeing what kinds of things can lurk in the human mind. And what an author can do to both their characters, and their audience, when they choose to dive in and explore that. The other thing in my life that really sold me on checking out Made in Abyss is that a couple years ago I got into adult coloring and one of my favorite aesthetics to color is anything I consider 'creepy cute'. So when I once a...

Review: The Ancient Magus Bride season 1

There are blessings and curses to having a potentially disturbing opening. On one hand, you’re going to grab people’s attention. On the other, there is a risk of turning people off. The Ancient Magus Bride has one of those tricky openings that is bound to make some people squirm. As the story begins, our leading lady, Chise, has decided to sell herself off at a slave auction. Ah-ah! I see you there, moving the mouse up to the YouTube icon at warp speed. Stop. Wait. I know what I’m talking about because this is what I did when I tried to watch episode one of this show the first time. But I promise you, if you can put up with about six minutes of internal discomfort, you will be rewarded with the ability to watch one of the most intriguing fantasy romance stories I have ever encountered. And if you know me, you know that’s my thing. That’s the genre I love most. If there is one topic I’m confident in my knowledge of, it’s fantasy romance. So, what is The Ancient Magus Bride? W...

Discussion: Hell's Paradise episode 1

“I’ll make it back alive. For you.” Have you ever watched something that made you want to cheer and cry at the same time? That’s how I felt as this final line was spoken and the credits began to roll. To put it simply: Hell’s Paradise is off to a hell of a good start. This opening episode focused on establishing the durability and power of our leading man, Gabimaru, mostly without him needing to lift a finger. They try to execute him by beheading. His neck breaks the sword. They try to tear him apart with bulls. The bulls give up. They try to burn him at the stake but the fire does nothing to him. They try to boil him alive and it has no effect. All the while he is being questioned by our other lead, the executioner Yamada Asaemon Sagiri. What was his life like? How did he get here? And if he really wants to die, as he claims, why does he keep resisting? He thinks she’s just wasting his time. But no… She’s trying to figure out if he’s the man she needs to go on a dange...
