  • The Scarecrow
    The perfect melding of advetising, information, and entertainment. Easilly one of the most beautiful pieces of animation I’ve seen lately. I haven’t tried out the game though.
  • Geeky Money Art
    This art project in which people paint over Queen Elizabeth’s face on coins makes me feel like we aren’t doing enough with our U.S. money!
  • Things Coming to Head for Superheroine Movies
    Every week there seems to be a new discussion or article about having more woman as the stars of superhero blockbusters, is change just around the corner? I would definitely love to see a Black Widow movie and of course a Wonder Woman one.
  • DLC Fabulous He!
    Amazing musical number about DLC set to Aladdin’s “Prince Ali.”

The original Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya was fairly short so it’s probably better that they just let the series run only 10 episodes with a minimal amount of filler rather than trying to stretch 10 episodes into 13.

It reminds me of a time when people complained about filler for filler’s sake and unnecessary stalling for ongoing series.  Anime fans were always asking for shorter seasons and breaks between them. Now that budgets have made it that series tend to be shorter and more often cut into multiple seasons with gaps in between I see more complaining about series being shorter.

I guess it just proves no matter which way you choose, you lose.
