do you know what?
I miss long seasons.
I miss seasons that had 20 episodes and half of them could be cut and nothing would be lost to the story.
I miss the episodes where nothing fucking happens but you get to see the main cast goofing around with one another. You get to see their interactions, their relationships develop, their day-to-day lives and how they all fit together in them.
You get the Christmas/halloween/valentine's special -is it needed? certainly not. but is it good? is it entertaining? does it give the show and characters life? do we, the viewers, enjoy it? YES!
give me long stories!! give me little quarrelling spats between characters that can be resolved in one episode with no need to have an impact on the greater story! make these stories real!
let me enjoy them before they end!!!
I absolutely love Hazbin Hotel and the little world that's been created, but I can't help but feel disappointed we're only getting two seasons of 8 episodes.
back in the early 2000's 16 episodes would have been ONE season, never mind the entire thing.
show my angel dust and husk and nifty and sir penthouse living their daily lives in the hotel! show me Charlie brainstorming ways to redeem sinners! give me Charlie forcing the hotel staff to do cringe-y exercises! give me an entire episode of Vox trying to follow alastor through security cameras! Give me husks typical day! Give me a special through the eyes of nifty on a mission to irradiate the hotel of bugs! Give me sir penthouse and the egg boys up to no good!
give me something other than the bare necessities to make the story flow
6 months have nearly gone by in the hotel, and it feels like 1 month.

Idk if anyone's mentioned this yet. But there's something unintentionally funny about the song that they picked for the Minecraft movie trailer being the title track to the Beatle's Magical Mystery Tour; a song for a film of the same name that, even after 60 years worth of re-evaluation, is regarded as one of the Beatle's biggest failures.
A sign of good things to come I'm sure.

thinking about red vs blue is crazy because it's like:
this is a story about how you can't keep chasing ghosts forever. there's alien/human mpreg.
holding onto the past is holding you back - you have to learn to let go and say goodbye. ed robertson from the barenaked ladies plays a guy who (jokingly?) tells his soldiers that if he weren't their CO he'd make them call him daddy.
family isn't always defined by appearances and you may find it in those you least expect. the aliens speak entirely in blargs and honks.
everything we do is driven by love - love for your current companions and loves that have been lost along the way. it has one of the most intense and longest running queer-baits i've ever personally witnessed.
veterans aren't given the proper support to be able to return to a civilian life, and this systemic issue causes problems for everyone in all levels of society. there's a homophobic bomb.
you can't change what's happened to you and the ones you love; you just have to find a way to keep moving forward. one of the main characters only speaks in poorly translated spanish.
everyone has the capacity to change and be better. it has two (completely unrelated) insanely complicated time travel plots, and they’re both only dubiously canon.
it's an incredible piece of media and proof that you can create something magical with the limited tools available to you. there are chunks of it that are borderline unwatchable.
it's changed the way I approach storytelling forever. i can't easily recommend it to pretty much anyone.

Looking through the upcoming Comiket publications to see what is worthwhile, and guys:
"A Story of How I Kept Legally Beating Ministry of Finance Bureaucrats for Two Years Until They Spilled the Conditions for Legal Uncensored Content, Which I Then Turned into a Doujinshi"
The riveting 94 page doujinshi covers:
I filed a review request and spent two years legally disputing with the Ministry of Finance, ultimately succeeding in having the criteria for sexual expression import regulations and statistics of crackdowns since 2003 disclosed.
Since the disclosed documents included the conditions for legal uncensored content, this book publishes the full text of the disclosed contents.
Based on this content, the book examines:
-What exactly was disclosed?
-How can the disclosed content be specifically utilized?
-Can the newly disclosed Ministry of Finance's criteria also apply to Penal Code Article 175, which the police enforce?
This is a critical review book (for all ages) that challenges the enforcement of sexual expression regulations in Japan, including Penal Code Article 175.
I love you comiket so much.
(Also TIL that the black censorship bars used to redact info in confidential documents is called "nori-ben"/のり弁 aka seaweed bento, which is a very cute visual - it is like seaweed draped over the words!)
