Aw, man. I am pouring one out for this space tonight, even though the AV Factor will never truly die in spirit. (Shoot it down, but it won't fall. It is titanium or a similarly resiliant base metal, etc.)

This reaction genuinely surprises me - I never meant to come off as overly negative, in fact I was excited about picking up this show because watching it has always been such a purely positive experience for me and I was looking forward to a breather from all the toxicity of the rest of the reality world.

The exception, of course, being RNG, who I feel a little vindicated for praising so highly last week. (You see guys? You SEE?) I remember feeling…

I went back in 05, and it was all about Howl then. Worth it for the stuffed catbus filled with squealing Japanese babies and the life-size Laputa robot on the roof.

I try to stay away from the "URGH why don't you give this thing I personally love more credit, AV Club writer???" comments, but I just want to say that along with all the films rightly praised here, Whisper Of The Heart is a goddamn masterpiece of subtlety and yes, heart.

Just wait for the Skrillex episode! (Please, please let there be a Skrillex episode.)

I am never going to hear that song the same way again. Thank you so, so much.

I guess I was never really evaluating this show on the basis of talent. I tend to just go by how entertained I feel over the course of two hours - if the singing is great but I'm half asleep (like much of Idol this season) I'm not going to grade it well. The Voice had plenty of fun moments, and a handful of…
