Now tagless for your comfort.

First episode kicked ass.

She might enjoy Jujutsu Kaisen. The anime is extremely good. It’s got a cinnamon bun protagonist. And the manga circulation went up 235% after the anime premiered!

I’m looking forward to Season 2 of Beastars but it’s only streaming in Japan. We won’t get it until July.

Oooh, Craig McCraken has a new cartoon on Netflix, Kid Cosmic. Looks gorgeous.

And the upcoming City of Ghosts by Elizabeth Ito is also looking good.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Those both look cool in very different ways.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I was less than wowed by Masters of the Universe: Revelation. It wasn't terrible, but it mixes the cheesiness of the old cartoon with modern storytelling sensibilities in a way that ends up feeling awkward. Sometimes a hero comes out of nowhere to save the day and other times characters just die and it ends up feeling very inconsistent.
