Rogue One is neither dark nor a tragedy. Dying a heroic death to deal a massive blow to the Empire is bittersweet but not tragic. I think that the problem with R1's tragedy is that it feels very Old Testament. Like cruel merciless God sends people to die 'cause they have to, sins of fathers so grea...

I just saw the last two episodes of Hannibal. Absolutely magnificent. It's impressing how they managed to turn the 'Red Dragon' arc into a kind of meta-narrative on author\audience relations and fanfiction. The finale itself work as as both the faithful closer and a pretty clever joke o...

Hannibal, S3E03 Can't grasp all of the sudden hate for the new season: at this point in time the show can afford itself to be slow (they have fucking snails in every third scene, for God's sake), brooding and focusing on its metaphors and atmosphere. It seems that we've just hit...

Me neither.

Hope they'll either find a new network for the show or that season 3 is gonna end up good enough to close Will \ Hannibal ark well.

I always assumed that the Giants were to Lords as Hollows were to Humans. (Gwyn's "hollow" state isn't caused by a lack of Humanity, but by sacrificing his soul, anyway.) I always assumed the Giants in DS1 and DS2 being very different creatures. Don't know if I'm j...

While being a masterpiece, Bloodborne left an impression on me that it was sort of "left to its own devices" in the last year of development or so. Like Miyazaki and others worked very hard and tight on basics (core mechanics, storyline, art-design) nailing down 90% of things, yet ...

Guess I've got confused by all the rumors around.

Miyazaki being more involved hyped my expectations (especially after Bloodborne, which was a top notch addition to his line of work), but I can't say I'm happy seeing DS2 stuff like Giants return in such a straightforward, almost casual fashion. Their presence never really struck me ...

Up until the ending sequence I thought I'd finally seen a good feminist movie for once, with all parts balanced and archetypal story treated with needed respect, but I fail to see why so much feminist-driven stories end up with all supporting male cast * either dead by self-sacrifice or stepping...

Never thought I'd say so, but the direction they're heading to with sequels (which is for the most part "Extreme Dinosaurs" spiritual successor with an AAA-budget cargo on board) is surprisingly more promising in terms of sheer fun factor than milking the "theme park&q...

Nichijou detested those unable to pronounce Father Guacamole's name right years before it became mainstream:

Definitely didn't expect new Hannibal season to feature music so akin to Suicide's first album , but it fits like a glove. Reitzell's vision throughout the series is absolutely astonishing at times. And the episode itself is very nice, I'm still amazed how they manage to change so mu...

Nope, Kanno Mitsuaki, director of "Avantgardion" a.k.a. "Ava", released 1995 (I just can't stop quoting that one) is voiced by someone named Shōto Kashii.

Shirobako EP 12

Pretty sure it's been posted here already, but DAMN that was hilarious. While the show had no shortage of allusions to industry so far, this one just goes full throttle:

So, they're basically pulling a Superman Returns and canon blasting the disappointing third and fourth entries in the franchise with a sequel that picks up from the events of the second film? That may still be doubtful + mind that instagram pic of Ripley in alien\jockey-esque helm: In 2014, Sig...

Capra Demon has his dogs. My bad. I'm not sure how you felt about the bosses in DS2 since it is a subjective experience Most of them sort of flashed before my eyes in 1-3 attempts as a slide show of big guys in differently colored armor sets. To be perfectly honest, I actually think DS1 had a g...

^Demon's souls and DS1 have a lot of fanservice and references to king's field and other games, nobody gets mad, but as soon as DS2 does something like this, some people are like: "N-no, you can't do this!" That's the difference between the similar sound played quietly and...

-I agree that DS2 should have less enemies. Though, DS1 also should have less *Nito boss fight* Apart from those two humble archers in Taurus Demon fight, Nito boss fight is the only event in DS where the regular enemies accompany the boss, and it matches pretty well with previously established &qu...

That is a long post to go through and it may take me a while to finalize a response but i will be addressing your rampant hatred of ds2 soon, please look forward to it. It's not that much of a hatred, really. I'm just sort of confused with examples of such a positive response to DS2 in gene...
