The Observation Deck: Aggretsuko Season 5
Today, a look at the fifth and likely final season of #Aggretsuko, a series which, to many, has fallen from grace. #anime #writing #blog #TheJCO
Welcome, weebs, to Animated Observations
Season four of Aggretsuko ended up being one of the more disappointing elements of last year’s anime releases, so much so that I honestly forgot it only came out a year ago. The second half turned into a soap opera style drama that did not match the vibe of any of the previous episodes, essentially abandoning what made the show so unique in the first…

The Observation Deck: Kaguya-Sama Love is War - The First Kiss That Never Ends
Today, a look at the #kaguyasamaloveiswar movie, #thefirstkissthatneverends which is the latest entry in the series. #anime #writing #blog #TheJCO
Welcome, weebs, to Animated Observations
(Minor spoilers ahead)
I have talked a lot about Love is War over the past couple of years, and for good reason. The show has only gotten better with time and additional seasons, further developing its characters into some of the most compelling in all of the medium. Additionally, it does so while basing its entire premise around the conceit of not…

Attack on Titan Final Season Episodes 80-87 and What's to Come
Today, Jack finishes their journey through #AttackonTitan's final season, and talks about what might come next. #anime #writing #blog #TheJCO
Welcome, weebs, to Animated Observations
The journey through Attack on Titan has been, if nothing else, exciting. It started with a re-ignited spark of interest in the series and has turned into a strong change in opinion about its quality. Whereas my original opinion of AOT was positive but not all that passionate, it has now become one of my favorite series, if not top 10, then at worst top…

Summer 2022 Episode Reviews: Week Four
Today, we're talking last weeks seasonal offerings, and why Jack is dropping one show in particular from their line-up. #anime #writing #blog #TheJCO
Welcome, weebs, to Animated Observations
Last week was solid, and so is this one. However, there is one show that I simply have no desire to continue, as you will find out in a bit.
RWBY: Ice Queendom Ep. 4
One thing I have realized about this series is that it kind of suggests that the person watching should have already seen the original. Which, I guess makes sense. The anime never really…

Spy x Family's First Half is Done, and I Have Some Thoughts
Today, we're looking at arguably #spring2022's most popular series, #spyxfamily and how well it has done thus far. #anime #manga #blog #TheJCO
Welcome, weebs, to Animated Observations
The spring 2022 anime season is, by the time this gets released, likely finished with most of its major shows. However, Spy x Family, the break-out star of the season, is only done with its first half. Presumably, this is to give the staff a bit of a break before they continue this coming October. Still, since it is the end of the season, I figure now…

Short Story - Alone at a Dead End
Short story snippet from last year, haven't done much else with it but I like it so far. #writing #shortstory #blog
Hello everyone!
So, I still haven’t written much this month. Most of my attention has been split between three or four different games on top of grinding away at smash. On top of that, there’s been a kind of paralysis for me when it comes to actually starting on something. Not necessarily writer’s block or anything, but more so just a friction that has kept me from actually writing. With that…

A New Friend? Old Lovers? Welcome Back, Alice Vol. 4
Today, a look at #WelcomeBackAlice volume four, where Yohei meets someone new and tries once again to resolves his complicated feelings. #manga #writing #blog #TheJCO
Welcome, weebs, to Animated Observations
Forget rollercoasters, Welcome Back, Alice is turning into the whole damn amusement park, but not necessarily in a bad way. Every other page is a new layer of drama and internal debate that is seemingly driving these characters insane…ok, maybe it is not that hyperbolic, but it is definitely getting interesting.
Volume four sees the continued aftermath…

Poem - Star Bomb
A magical realist poem I did last year based on a stupid twitter prompt lol. enjoy :))
Heya
Welcome back friends, this is another poem I worked on last year, its fairly short, but it was also written based off of a prompt from the magical realism bot on Twitter, so…eh? Hope you enjoy!
A star is smoking cigarettes in a hospital,
Unafraid of the consequences,
The doctors and nurses blind to a solution.
The name on her medical records
A series of spatial indicators,
Coordinates that…

The Observation Deck: Cowboy Bebop
Today, Jack takes a look at one of anime's classic series, #CowboyBebop and sees if it really is that good. #writing #blog #anime #TheJCO
Welcome, weebs, to Animated Observations
This is honestly a long time coming, by which I mean literally three years since I started the series with my dad back before the pandemic. Unfortunately, we never finished it together, but it was easy to tell even back then that this was indeed a special series, and one that, for the most part, deserved continued praise after all these years.
Luckily,…

Feeding the Flames
Today, a few more hot takes because why not. #writing #blog #anime #videogames #TheJCO
Welcome, weebs, to Animated Observations
Welcome back, everyone, to Feeding the Flames. For those unfamiliar, this is my totally original series where I share some nonsense takes of mine and see how people react. If you feel strongly about any of these takes, feel free to debate them with me in the comments. Anyway, here are my garbage opinions.
Most of the Fate/ franchise is mid

February Writing Update
A quick update on my writing plans going into the month.
Welcome back, everyone.
It feels weird that a whole month of this year has already gone by already, like the whole month was pretty uneventful. Granted, that likely has to do with how much of the month was just spent looking for a job, and how much of that time was spent in my house, and how much of that time was spent playing video games…is it obvious I don’t get out of the house much?
Well,…

Welcome, weebs, to Animated Observations
“huh, I never thought I’d get this far” -Plankton
Well, it has been less than a month, and I have already covered or started covering most of the stuff I wanted to since coming back. On top of that, being four-plus weeks late on seasonal stuff means now is as good a time as any to go through some of the stuff I wasn’t able to talk about in 2022. With…

Initial Results: Naoki Urasawa's Monster
Today, a look at the opening episodes of Naoki Urasawa's #Monster, and its impressive showing. #writing #anime #blog #TheJCO
Welcome, weebs, to Animated Observations
(Spoilers for the first for episodes, so if you want to go in blind feel free to click off).
Going into a series with a lot of critical acclaim can sometimes be nerve-wracking, not because I care about having the “wrong” opinion or whatever, but more because it feels like I might be missing something that would significantly affect my enjoyment of the…

Decisions and Thrills: Welcome Back, Alice Vol. 2
Today, Jack continues with #WelcomeBackAlice, venturing into the series' second volume. #manga #shuzooshimi #blog #TheJCO
Welcome, weebs, to Animated Observations
First off, I want to say it was a good idea to let this series grow a bit more before writing it off entirely. Whereas the opening chapters are a bit more based on the shock value and spectacle of Kei’s character, the chapters in volume two get much more into the meat and potatoes of the overall story.
Volume two focuses largely on the aftermath of Yohei…
