Update #32 - Transylvania Twist
4 years ago
General
Howdy folks, it's been a minute!
The whole of April is going to be fairly busy, so these won't be too long. I do have news on the media front - I am watching multiple things and enriching my brain with quality. To keep it brief, here they are:
Dracula [Audiobook]: Much more memorable than I was expecting! Tim Curry plays Van Hellsing, while a competent cast stages the performance. I was engrossed pretty quickly, and generally enjoyed the subtle buildup. Mina Harker is bae. Van Hellsing is the only competent man (next to Quincy, RIP, the American-by-way-of-stereotypes). Seward is a fuckboy.
Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War: Excellent little laugh out loud comedy. The English dub is a different beast in entirely, but just as good.
Wotakoi: My squish and I are watching this and oh my god, these 20-something nerds looking for love with one another is affirming and intimate and the OP makes me meeeeeeeeelt-
So What if I'm a Spider: Spider is great. Her survival arc and internal comedy is actually really engaging for an isekai. The rest of the show is... pretty dull and clumsy.
Falcon and the Winter Soldier: I never expected Marvel to go so hard on real world themes, but they actually did take the false Cap storyline from the Captain America comics and turn it into a substantive critique in the modern day. Also surprised the studio willingly engaged the legacy of black experimentation in the United States and how that shaped African American views on the American government and its principles. It's choppy in places, due to being a mini-series with the mandate to cover stage 4 Marvel's setting as well as its own plot, but I'm engaged, and actively rooting for the Falcon to become the first black cap. It's not a completely scathing critique, but it's got the neurons firing in my brain. RIP Lamarr, you died for John Walker's sins.
But enough about me. Commissions? Heck yeah.

This Friday's post will be a three parter!! I will be posting Telomerase Delta Nu, All of My Favorite Waifus and Ideal GF, an April Ditty!
Cheers, folks. April's unforgiving!

Kaguya sama is wonderful-especially as the actual plot develops and it handles actual drama and heartwarming moments just as well as it does the comedy. And as an added bonus it’s one of the few anime adaptations I’ve seen that actually add onto the manga with fun little gags and jokes that work instead of being just bland filler. I really hope the anime is able to follow the manga to the end.

OP
Likewise! I'm not all the way through season 1, so I'll look forward to the filler!
You're in for a treat! Second season is even better and I hope it continues the trend moving forward. And I'll have to give that Tim Curry audiobook a try-I'm a sucker for his stuff and classic horror stories.

OP
Bear in mind that Tim Curry is the headlining actor in a full cast recording. The cast is good, though, they make the dry text more palatable. It's available on Audible as an exclusive.
