By: Beata Garrett | @clearsummers I didnât know Dead End: Paranormal Park existed until a few days ago, but it has perfectly filled the âspooky summerâ urge that Iâve had this entire month. Produced by Netflix and based on a series of graphic novels by Hamish Steele, this animated show is almost surprising in just how good it is. It has casual and new representation … Continue reading Dead End: Paranormal Park (Recommended Watch)
By: Beata Garrett | @clearsummers Itâs difficult to pick one episode of Revolutionary Girl Utena (1997) as my favorite because they all lend weight to the overall story and the themes. Removing one, even the silliest such as âThe Cowbell of Happiness,â feels wrong. However, I can safely say that Episode 20, titled âWakaba Flourishingâ is not only one of my favorite episodes, but one … Continue reading Why “Wakaba Flourishing” is a Masterful Episode

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! or Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na! is a series I overlooked when it first came out a little more than a year ago. Iâm not a fan of the art style, and the name didnât seem all that interesting when I did my usual scroll through MyAnimeList around the release time. I … Continue reading Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!: Worth The Watch For Fans Of Slice-of-Life And The Animation Industry
By: Beata Garrett | @clearsummers Love Death + Robots is an original show produced by Netflix that focuses on Sci-Fi stories told through animation. The different animation studios, directors, and writers at the helm of every episode make for an interesting experimentation that introduces viewers to different animation and directing styles. Season 3 may be my favorite season yet, but it doesnât have tough competition … Continue reading Love Death + Robots Season 3 (Review)

By: Beata Garrett | @clearsummers Welcome back to Part Two of my Goodbye, Eri analysis. In Part One, I touched upon some of the themes in Tatsuki Fujimotoâs excellent one-shot and focused on how film is used to remember those we love and the conundrum of who deserves to be remembered. In Part Two, Iâll expand upon these themes. Thank you for joining me on … Continue reading Goodbye, Eri Analysis (Part Two)
By: Beata Garrett | @clearsummers What is there to say about Tatsuki Fujimoto, the creator of Chainsaw Man, Fire Punch, and the devastating one-shot, Look Back? We could dive into so many aspects of his works. I love Fujimotoâs stories because he does ultraviolence in a way that cracks open the shell of humanity. Fujimotoâs work is raw, funny, and gut-punching in turns and sometimes … Continue reading Goodbye, Eri Analysis (Part One)
By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting With finals week just around the corner, Iâve been listening to a lot of ASMR playlists filled with classical music, rain sounds, and crackling fireplaces. Somewhere along the way, I ran into WUZU Clayâs channelâspecifically, the video above. Iâm not sure exactly why it suddenly came up in the autoplay on my YouTube. Itâs not something I would typically … Continue reading Recommended Watch: WUZU Clay ASMRďżź
Source: Bubble (2021) By: Beata Garrett | @clearsummers Five years ago, the world was filled with bubbles.

Tokyo was abandoned, but âorphans of the Bubble Fallâ took advantage of the ruined city to move in. One of these orphans, HIbiki, often hears singing from the tower … Continue reading Bubble (Review) – Beautiful but Shallow
