…just don’t have much to say.

Let’s see…

Animator Mike Inel did an incredible fan animation about the series “The Amazing World of Gumball.” He rendered the entire thing anime style, below:

It looks ten times better than the actual series. There’s a comparison between the two that will show up in recommended videos, and it’s like night and day. The commercial break especially is hilarious. I find myself singing “The anni-hi-latOR!”at random times. He also does more snippets from it, as well as from Gravity Falls.

I’m also watching anime again. The Asterisk War is catching my eye. It’s essentially standard harem anime done right. Not reinventing the wheel, but smart about it and mildly challenging some tropes. It has a particularly amazing ending song called “Waiting for the Rain,” by Maaya Sakamoto. I haven’t tried much else this season, but am slowly catching up on series I’ve missed.

One anime that deserves a second look is Cat Planet Cuties. I got around to re-watching it, and wow, there’s Christian symbolism in spades in it. I’ll probably do a post on it, because it’s so unexpected. The series wound up being a lot different and a lot more intelligent than I thought.

Little Hero Academia just released a manga in the States, and it looks to be in the vein of Assasination Classroom. Very feel-good and uplifting. A young boy longs to be a hero in a world of superheroes, but he possesses no power-no quirk. Until he meets up with one of the world’s top heroes, who lets on that his quirk can actually be passed on. And now the young boy is chosen to receive that power, but all the training…

The only downside is the exaggerated art style. It’s a good series though, with strong potential. Lot of times you need a positive story to keep you going.

The Chicago Film Archive has a lot of old films, but is especially wonderful because it has a ton of classic, black and white wrestling matches. Superstars like Verne Gagne, Killer Kowaski, and Antonio Rocca are present. You can waste a lot of time reliving the past there. Days where wrestling matches took longer than five minutes, and Jim McMahon was nowhere to be found.

Jason Wert on loneliness as a single, middle-aged Christian. It’s all true. All of it. The invisibility thing is real.

Steve Taylor has a Kickstarter, apparently.

Other than that, I keep going on.
