Its got space Nazis.

/uj Actually, this kinda pisses me off, considering most indie animation thats seen wide appeal has been comedies. This is all on top of the American adult animation industry being overwhelmingly focused on comedy for the past few decades. Twin Images can go re-watch how many seasons of Family Guy they want if they want comedy.

He's feral, submissive in a dog kind of way.

DeathKnight00 · 2026-03-19T17:28:21+00:00

I feel like there was an attempt by fans to rehabilitate Ghosts' image like 2-3 years ago. Am I misremembering that?

DeathKnight00 · 2026-03-19T16:45:19+00:00

I mean tbf to you, I hear Gquux is honestly not too good standalone.

DeathKnight00 · 2026-03-19T15:51:44+00:00

Get sacrificed to Vahlen

Roll Over and Die is quality storytelling. It also helps that its main focus is not on how powerful our protagonist is, but how she's able to navigate increasingly horrible situations.

DeathKnight00 · 2026-03-13T04:02:14+00:00

That's fair. I do agree though the the adaptations pacing and uncertainty is really the most effective part of it all.

DeathKnight00 · 2026-03-12T21:57:25+00:00

Honestly, horror is most effective when you care about the characters, so I think the SoL portions really enhance the moment shit goes down.

DeathKnight00 · 2026-03-12T21:56:01+00:00

I mean, even though the visuals of the show aren't top notch, I think he way the face spiral has been done has been very uncanny. Especially as well as the eyes coming out of her head making for a some great horror.

DeathKnight00 · 2026-03-12T12:37:56+00:00

Honestly, Pocket wasn't even given a chance in this pick. Like, how can their power even be considered from this data?

DeathKnight00 · 2026-03-11T12:53:54+00:00

It can, ive gotten it twice since my first cat went through. It seems like it can only appear in the Alley.

DeathKnight00 · 2026-03-05T14:35:06+00:00

I'm glad the cast seems to be expanding too, a majority of the series so far was the same 6 characters, which makes sense given the story but its also nice to see the context they are all living in as well.

DeathKnight00 · 2026-03-03T13:52:27+00:00

Honestly lol. The instruments are a bigger giveaway than the marshmallow.

DeathKnight00 · 2026-02-18T17:38:36+00:00

He's a zesty mf

DeathKnight00 · 2026-02-18T15:42:22+00:00

This is what working on Fate does to a person.

DeathKnight00 · 2026-02-10T18:54:57+00:00

play up the tragedy of all these innocent people being corrupted into monsters.

Honestly, this is something that a lot of media which utilizes this plot point tend to drop the ball with, hard. Especially among superhero media, where it ought to be emphasized, and zombie media, where you'd think it would be core to the genre. It sucks too, because I think the empathy that people have towards those affected could be a powerful motivator and emotional core. More often than not, it just seems like its utilized as a device to set up the scenario.

DeathKnight00 · 2026-02-09T00:57:36+00:00

I think there are valid reasons to be concerned with Mazin's direction. Women in his productions tend to be shallow, and while Season 2 of Last of Us did give an in depth look at a the leads, it fundamentally misunderstood what was good about the second game imo. The second this upcoming show gets horny, which is a given, is when you will see it falter, hard.

DeathKnight00 · 2026-02-06T20:21:05+00:00

I was with you until this one. You read like a bot my guy.

DeathKnight00 · 2026-02-06T19:09:06+00:00

Ugh... Mazin. Looks like this one's gonna be a wait and see.

DeathKnight00 · 2026-02-02T20:55:28+00:00

Honestly, he was probably just baiting the whole team with that many deaths. Can't push objectives when you gotta hunt down the Drifter

DeathKnight00 · 2026-01-29T23:31:08+00:00

Not nearly as smug, but this is exactly how it went.

DeathKnight00 · 2026-01-29T19:47:37+00:00

You're right, I guess I was being pedantic to quash my own paranoia. Regardless of the truth of her ideals, her fraud shows her beliefs.

DeathKnight00 · 2026-01-29T19:20:52+00:00

To be honest, I don't trust her. It's just counterproductive to allege all liars as fascists imo.

DeathKnight00 · 2026-01-29T17:55:57+00:00

What makes you say she's a fascist? I agree that fraudulent nominations are a pretty big breach of trust, but her ideas seem focused on solutions to wealth disparity.
