Time for another retro revisit. Never intended to make this into a series but might as well, has a nice ring to it. Tonight I just finished rewatching an anime called “Birdy the Mighty: Decode” which upon revising still holds up fantastically. The show was aired from 2008-2009 but I watched it for the first time 7 years ago. Back then, I was still discovering my identity and this show was extremely important to that. Personal bias aside, the animation is great and holds up fairly well. The action scene choreography is stunning, however, the age of the show certainly shows. It is by no means a turn off, but just a heads up for those only interested in visuals. Outside of action scenes, the plot is not out of this world but still extremely good. The main hook of the show is the MCs are living a double life after one accidentally kills the other. They end up sharing a body, one going to school, the other fighting intergalactic crime. The first season focuses on the stress of adapting to this new lifestyle while developing the male MC. The second season delves into the aliens’ culture and develops the female MC. Episodes are light hearted yet deep, dripping with content all in a 20 minute package. The air of mystery kept throughout the series makes you want to find out just as much as the MC’s do. One unexpected I found upon my revisit was just how good season 2 was. When I initially watched the show, I had a hard time grasping the plot. (partly due to watching it late at night.) This time however, I was able to follow along and it kept me hooked the whole time. Granted the twists could be seen from a mile away but it was still and interesting build up toward them that left me satisfied. Another thing that shocked me about season 2 was just how gorey it got. If a character got hurt majorly, they showed it, no dancing around the subject. I really felt a connection between the characters and they were all really well developed other than one or two outliers. I suppose that’s all my brain can manage to gush about for now. If you have any interest, please give this forgotten gem a watch. I promise you won’t regret it.

Howdy newbies and welcome to Tumblr, it takes a bit of setup to get this site running well so here’s what works for me. One of the neat things about this site is that its a different experience for everyone, so tailor these settings towards what you want from this site.

Retro Revisit: Bowser's Inside Story

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Insider Story is a game that I hold very close to my heart. It was one of my favorite DS games when I was growing up and I still remember beating it for the first time. Recently, due to a long sustained depression, I wanted to revisit my childhood and play a comforting game. Not only did I beat it, I went above and beyond to 100% it. Every collectable, top rank, every mini-game, and even the boss rush with a secret at the end; I beat it all. Never once did I not have fun revisiting this game even if it is challenging at times. I'm unsure if an emulator is a good way to play it due to a few sections of the game. However, if you have a DS or 3DS collecting some dust on a shelf or in the back of your closet, I recommend brushing it off and giving this game, or any one of your childhood games a retry.

I don’t intend to check tumblr often, as I still mainly use twitter for the time being. However, I think it would be nice to start a blog of some kind where I can just post stuff on my mind. I usually keep that stuff to myself, but whenever I write it down on the off chance I do, it’s nice.

Looked up “Chuggaaconroy” on a whim to see people posting about “I wonder what he’s been up to?” I never left! 13 years I have been watching this man. One of the cornerstones of my sense of humor and my life. It you have never hear of him, I highly recommend his content. It is goofy and wholesome and really well made.

Preemptive Measures

Reserving this Tumblr tag in the off chance Twitter gets any worse and I can't stand it there anymore. Also my friends are moving here.
