I got emotionally ruined in a way I haven't in a long time. I was literally curled up in a ball on the couch, devastated. Fuck. It hit me so goddamn hard. What an incredible show filled with incredible characters.
Aggretsuko (Season 2)
Beneath the goofs, the show depicts the struggle of maintaining adult relationships. Things aren't always easy. Things fall apart. But its necessary to put the work in. And this show is willing to have real conversations about it.
Infinity Train (Season 1?)
After Over the Garden Wall, I've been craving another dark but psychological Cartoon Network miniseries. Infinity Train easily nails that specific craving. Tulip's struggle to accept the illogical in herself and how she lashes out to feelings and discomfort is such a strong through-line of the series. The villain's motivation needed a little bit more polish but the direction they take the core premise of the show is incredible. I definitely can't wait to see what other places the show could go.
Cannon Busters
You see more and more of these kind of anime inspired shows from people who grew up in the 90s. They have a lot of ideas to throw around and it ends up kind of a mess? But its also kind of a fun mess? Its very strange. Anyway this was fine I guess. I like Sam.
