You actually would think the new Trigun stargaze OP is merely a crime against humanity, and then you remember how stylish and tonally perfect the original Stampede OP was (much less the OG's H.T.) and then you'll never want to stop strangling that abomination with your bare hands.

100% Completion of Silksong

Ok I'll get back to work now.

So I'm working on a new Apothecary Video, and as I'm going through I've come up with an additional 3-4 concepts for Apothecary Videos, that I either need to spin-off from the script or just accept that this video is going to be a good 2 hours long.

I would love to upload a quick video but all of the stuff I want to work on are long projects so I'm just gonna keep plugging away on 'em...

Damn he’s sick with it

Episode 7 of GQUUUUUUX is what all great episodes strive to be, a massive sea change in the middle of the series that mixes up our character dynamics right as they could’ve become stale, and raised the stakes and ambition far beyond the initial scope. Frankly the clear favorite for Episode OT Year.

Great #Lazarus criticism. These stand alone eps "don't build into the larger narrative in a meaningful way, taking away from the core motivation and momentum of the plot" & underserves its characters. Good job pointing out the flaw in its narrative structure.

Heartbreaking realization that even though Vortex (Lazarus OP track) is 1 of 1 this season, Tank! is just simply too iconic to ever be dethroned in the Watanabe ouvre.

I fear that (through 6 episodes), Lazarus is what ppl who don't like Cowboy Bebop think Bebop is.

That's my hot take for the month, catch me in June for "Eighty-Six Season 2 is actually an enlightenment-esque take on Code Geass: Akito the Exiled's aesthetics"

Breaking news: Apothecary Diaries cannot stop cooking out of its fucking mind

YouTube video by TazerLad Explaining EVERY Series Currently in Shonen Jump

My buddy Logan's video has proven to me that the average youtube commenter does not know what is and is not a Shonen Jump manga.

(www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZhO...)

New video is out!! Going over EVERY Series Currently in Shonen Jump... for at least a few more days... lol youtu.be/lZhONxCIKyc

If there's something really small that won't make sense to tackle once the season is over (when I do the long video) I'll make one (a la the recent Apoth short I made) but outside of that I am 100% planning on making a Shoshimin video.

I have a lot of thoughts about Shoshimin Season 1 (and I've been waiting for Season 2 to finish before I say anything), but Season 2's first episode has raised my expectations for the coming episodes.

YouTube video by TazerLad The NEW Titans of Shonen Jump? #shonenjump #manga

New YouTube Short Is out! Pretty much everything was done in Blender. And while I think overall it lacks cohesion, I'm still very happy with what I've thrown together and I look forward to messing around more! youtube.com/shorts/yp70E...

GKids you should reach out to @tazerlad.bsky.social and get him to do some YouTube content on Witch Watch, he's been pushing the first volume on me since 2022 and would be a great influencer for it.

He's the illest man alive chat.

I think Bluesky will have people on here way more frequently when it has the following:
- Group Chats (priority #1)
- Bookmarks
- Better video/gif quality with longer videos
- Parody accounts so we can be more snarky as a whole

Lazarus, GQUUUUUUX, Fire Force S3, Kowloon Generic Romance, Cinderella Gray, a villainess, and 2 or 3 detective/thriller series that have potential (+ Shoshimin S2).

Is it possible that Spring 2025 could be the best anime season in years?

Gundam GQUUUUUUX Beginning is fucking perfect down to the sound effects holy cow.

Very telling that if someone says their favorite anime is Code Geass, no one asks if they mean Lelouch of the Rebellion or any of the spin-offs, and I do mean that damningly despite me liking them.

I really do love how the new Apothecary Diaries OP has this visual thread of "unfolding" and "reflection" that all lead into the mysteries we've gotten this season and truly tie the piece into a cohesive whole instead of a bunch of one-shots.

Posting the new video here too cause why not! It's about Balatro youtu.be/Yq3DyHGiBKo

I fear Boichi is cooking completely out of his mind on The Marshal King and we're only 2 chapters in.

Obligatory haha funny number go brrrrrrrrrr
