Keiichiro Watanabe: Jujutsu Kaisen #02

October 10, 2020October 10, 2020 ~ PurpleGeth ~ Leave a comment

Most of the time I do this kind of analysis on twitter because aside from reaching a larger audience much faster, I also feel less of a need to adhere to things like grammar and paragraph structure.

We’re back in 2020 and evidently chose a good week to return. @HiMyNameisChair joins me to discuss the blobby goodness of Eizouken, a grotesque morphing scene in In/Spectre, and the latest on My Hero Academia. Meanwhile Haikyuu!! S4 aired and I’ve been dying to talk about it!

December 11, 2019 ~ PurpleGeth ~ Leave a comment

Some fancy footwork in SAO:A, the short but sweet return of franchise ace Hiroyuki Yamashita on Boruto, and a guest appearance in Psycho Pass from a bonafide legend all highlight the last week in animation, so lets discuss!

Sakuga Week in Review #7: Nov. 25, 2019 – Dec. 01, 2019

December 7, 2019December 7, 2019 ~ PurpleGeth ~ Leave a comment

Don’t blink or else you’ll miss it! Yutaka Nakamura’s latest contributions to the MHA franchise might be stylistically familiar to fans, but few were expecting the legend himself to lead off the episode without even an opening segment to allow us time to reach our seats.

Since there are only eight of them, lets go cut by cut breaking the whole scene down.
