And much more importantly, Joan Clayton. Not her first time in the witch rodeo.

Yeah, Ryoko Kui, the author and illustrator of the manga, truly put a lot of thought and care into how the world works, including the multitude of monster-filled meals (which I forgot to mention earlier serves as part of the plot).

I know anime is usually far from considered in these lists, but I’ll stump for Delicious in Dungeon. Non-anime viewers might find it easier to get into since it’s based on high fantasy, like D&D (hence the English title) and The Lord of the Rings, and mostly eschews anime-related tropes and motifs. And though the…

Nearly a decade ago, the BBC did a JS & Mr. N miniseries starring Bertie Carvel and Eddie Marsan . I haven’t seen it myself but reviews have been positive.

Whatever you’re thinking when you imagine “catgirl”, Izutsumi is treated better here, in design and character, than she would have been elsewhere.

Heads up, the pending commenter $wag Messiah is noted troll universalamander.

Just a heads up, $wag Messiah is noted troll universalamander. Best not to reply. 

Would you consider Impossible Lite just as unhealthy as the regular version? I’ve been using Lite to make weekly vegetarian chili for my weight-training meals.

Yeah it still is.

She’s referring to Ethan Slater, who played Spongebob in the Broadway musical.

You’re right about that last part.

They won some awards in the Creative Arts Primetime Emmys last weekend, including for Guest Actor and Guest Actress in a Drama Series.

Whether or not public domain slashers are sustainable, it’ll be interesting to see if anyone finds any other kind of use for Steamboat Willie. Until then, it seems we’re stuck in this dark reality.

I don’t know the daily hours the cast worked on TCP or the start and end times but Henson’s driver request brought to mind when a Riverdale actor got into a car crash late at night when he fell asleep at the wheel after a sixteen-hour day on set.

Thanks for the spoiler-free nudge, Kenneth.

Nice surprise seeing Scott Pilgrim on the list. It certainly defied my expectations of a more faithful adaptation of the comics, but for the better, resolving some lingering threads and giving more minor characters time in the spotlight.

Heartstopper’s second season didn’t hit as high as the first one, but there were…

I heard there’s a comic series continuing from where the show ended, which does have hints of Egyptology, but I don’t know if it’s any good.

When the series was announced I expected it to be more accurate to the source material than the movie, constrained by its runtime, could. But I’m glad O’Malley gets to change things up, basically like a do-over, and spend more time with characters with limited appearances. Hopefully Lisa, a…

Having finished Usher now, where would it place in both lists? I couldn’t do a ranking myself since I have yet to see Midnights Club and Mass.

Just finished the series and I liked it as well. It can get campy at times but it doesn’t overwhelm the plot, the characters, or the morose, gloomy atmosphere.

While I did read a few of Poe’s poems and short stories back in high school, I also dove into his literature, the recommended oeuvre from Flanagan, over the…
