It looks like I've triggered an algorithm that has identified me as someone who consistently tries to manipulate the percentages either up or down. Oh, well.....
I try to add enlightening commentary, but let's face it:
I'm far from perfect.

|
(The) Place Promised in Our Early Days (movie) | So-so |
planetarian (ONA) | Masterpiece (dub & sub) Do robots have souls? Also, check out the ED & OST! |
planetarian: Hoshi no Hito (movie) | Masterpiece (dub & sub) Deeply affecting. ADR Director: Clifford Chapin |
Please tell me! Galko-chan (TV) | Masterpiece Each ep. is <10 min.s long -- for a total of ~90 minutes -- just watch these shorts and decide if you like them! Ep.#5 ("Is It True That You're a Big Sister?") is remarkably humorous. So is ep.#7 ("Is It True About the Boy at the Pool?")! And ep.#8 ("Is It True You Have Horrible Bed-head?"). And ep.#11 ("Is It True That Butts Are Culture?"). |
Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea (movie) | Excellent (dub & sub) |
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Cosmos the Movie | Very good Brain candy as far as the eye can see!!! From " Sailor Moon Got Me Into This Business and I'm Exhausted" by Lynzee Loveridge What, you made it to the end of this and thought you earned reprieve? Remember the start of this, where I likened Sailor Moon to a personal moralistic figure that greatly informed my identity? I guess we have to talk about that a little to put this into perspective. Long-time readers (and haters) probably know me best for writing a piece about Vic Mignogna, which was later entered into court evidence during his failed lawsuit a few years back. While that report was an arduous task, it isn't the only one I've written. I actually spent a large amount of time immediately after it looking into an alleged rape by voice actor Todd Haberkorn. |
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal (ONA 2014) | Good (dub), Very good (sub) Brain candy! |
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal (ONA 2015) | Good (dub), Very good (sub) More brain candy! |
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal: Season III (TV 2016) | Decent (dub), Good (sub) Still more brain candy! But there's an inconsistency in the internal story structure..... |
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal (movie) | Very good (dub & sub) Brain candy as far as the eye can see!!! From " Sailor Moon Got Me Into This Business and I'm Exhausted" by Lynzee Loveridge What, you made it to the end of this and thought you earned reprieve?
