Trying something new #dorohedoro Image
I've been told this show is an "ultraviolent horror/slice of life show," and I'm beginning to understand how. At the intersection of slice of life and horror, you often find surreal, slapstick violence ImageImage
I think I'm going to like this world's magic. Messy, fantastical, and weird - not the kind of magic that can be tamed or understood #dorohedoro ImageImageImageImage
The CG isn't great, but it's nice to see them using it to enable more active camerawork like this #dorohedoro ImageImageImageImage
These backgrounds are absurdly beautiful. Look at this perfectly decrepit city #dorohedoro ImageImageImage
This world's sorcerers are like, one part Grimms' Fairy Tales, one part Killer Klowns from Outer Space #dorohedoro ImageImageImageImage
I love this world design. Such a neat mix of surreal fantasy and gritty, industrial utility #dorohedoro ImageImage
These backgrounds are stunning. Art director Shinji Kimura is a legend - he's worked on classics ranging from Akira to Beautiful Dreamer, and was (unsurprisingly) also the AD for Blood Blockade Battlefront #dorohedoro ImageImageImageImage
After a certain threshold, ultraviolence just loops around to goofiness and slapstick. Dorohedoro asks, "what if we built a charming quasi-sitcom at the far end of that process?" #dorohedoro ImageImageImageImage
More visions of the city. These backgrounds are so rich in detail - I love the story conveyed by the last one, with the two fallen letters and the "L" appended to the end #dorohedoro ImageImageImageImage

Bully Chris More ImageImageImageImage
Symphogear's half action, half slice of life DNA makes for some interesting segues. Here, Chris tells Kirika she's being too easygoing about planning a birthday party, and Kirika remembers a time she was too easygoing and FIVE MEN DIED ImageImageImageImage
THESE TWO #symphogear ImageImageImageImage

Well, I didn't schedule half an hour of listening to Steven Universe songs and sobbing today, but I think I can make the time
Just thinkin' about Independent Together again, and how it reflects on Pearl's relationship with Rose, and how much it means that both Greg and Steven are singing it to her, and losing my shit again
This show reflects critically and thoughtfully on so many different kinds of relationships, so many different kinds of love. Nothing is ever solved by one song or one episode - but over time, the ways they hurt, care for, and learn to believe in each other are clear to see

I've powered on through the end of Steven Universe, also caught the movie, and am now a few episodes into Future. I don't know how it's possible, but it feels like this show is still getting better all the time
The movie was phenomenal. A terrific set of songs, beautiful art design, and an incredibly satisfying celebration of how far all these characters have come
Plus, how am I not supposed to love a retro rubber hose-limbed antagonist, who's so depressed that her running mascara has actually become part of her design?

Team Rocket can't even finish their intro before getting torched by Litten, and then Ash ignores them entirely. No respect ImageImageImageImage
I love this. As Ash receives Stoutland's diagnosis, the door slides shut, meaning we can't hear what they're saying - a trick that emotionally aligns us with Litten, who must also try to read their faces to understand what's happening ImageImageImageImage
