Hey all. I post opinions on subject matter most people don't really care about, and sometimes I post art, though that's once every blood moon.
Also I want to apologise for cancelling any progress on the 2025 Media Thread. I'll admit now that after 2024's thread took so long to update, I should've stopped then and there but I didn't listen to myself.

I do want to make a "Best of 2025" thread when the year ends so look forward to that.

This whole segment is to set the groundwork for how I feel about Fruits Basket as a series, not even exclusively this adaptation. So hopefully when I get to talking about the remake, it won't be anywhere near as long as this entry was.

Regardless, I had fun writing up for it.

I apologise for disappearing for a month straight, I hit another road block in my writing process that needed some time to overcome, but here's my full take on the 2001 series, positives and negatives.

Full disclaimer, there is full spoilers throughout this entry to keep that in mind.

After a shit ton of peer pressure, I finally sat down to watch Fruits Basket....the OG, not the remake. I've been meaning to give this a look for a while but since I had everything thrown at me, I never got the time to do so. Some people don't understand that but that's a story for another time.

Hey again. Sorry for not updating this for a month now, I had come down with severe writer's block. Now I'm back in the swing of things so let's get caught up before March, why don't we?

First, let me conclude this segment because I feel like elaboration is required.
(Spoilers by the way)

This next one was a part of a Screen Unseen event that my local cinema does, where they'll play a film that is out in a few days, but you don't know what it is until it starts. I wanted to wait until it was out properly before talking about it so I can give everyone a chance to watch it.

It's okay.
January 24, 2025 at 4:25 AM
Because yes, I've already talked about this film in the 2024 Media Thread, and it wasn't that long ago either. I'll be honest, I probably could add more onto it but I'm not going to trouble myself, read what I wrote before if you want my opinions on the film.

Re[watch] 13) The Menu

I got to rewatch one of the most intense films I've seen this decade with my friends in a call. My opinions haven't changed, I still love this film a lot, it was just nice getting to watch it with people who hadn't seen it before because my friends also absolutely loved it.
January 24, 2025 at 2:15 AM
Shortly after I wrapped up Arcane, I got roped into streaming The Menu, this time in a VC full of people who didn't know what it was.

I don't want to get into how that session went for reasons that'll get me in trouble, nor do I want to add any more than I already have in the 2024 thread.
January 24, 2025 at 2:15 AM
Oh hey would you look at that, I managed to get one of my contracts finished before the end of January, isn't that neat? I figured I would've gotten one of the movie contracts done first but nevermind, I guess we're starting off strong. Let's see if I can actually get all of these done before 2026.
January 24, 2025 at 2:08 AM
This is one of, if not the longest segment I've written up for any of the threads. The only entries I think come anywhere as close is FF7Rebirth, Astro Bot and maybe The Green Mile. I don't know if my write up for Season 2 will be anywhere near as long as this, so we'll see how that goes.

Oh by the way, while I have you here, I want you all to know that I'm also writing up for this section on my 1nsta account as well, and I seriously don't know how the hell I'm going to be able to get all of it on there given I've wrote TWELVE WHOLE PAGES FOR THIS ONE SEGMENT

DISCLAIMER: I'll be spoiling the first season in this segment so keep that in mind before reading. Don't make the same mistake I did, this is a show that is absolutely worth your time whether you're a League fan or not. Feel free to read until you see some red text. That's your stopping point. (1/3)
January 23, 2025 at 7:38 PM
Well this was a long time coming, wasn't it? As someone who has avoided this show for the past three years due to its connections to League of Legends, I finally caved in and gave it a fair shot and...I am so sorry for ever doubting any of you.

I GET IT! I FINALLY GET IT! ARCANE KICKS SO MUCH ASS!!

Spoilers for this film and Red Dragon
January 22, 2025 at 4:45 PM
Now I don't know if this is going to get my "movie reviewer" license revoked or something but in a world where I've already sat down to watch Red Dragon (more on that in my 2024 media thread), I find myself enjoying that more over Silence of the Lambs. It's a little complicated but let me explain.

Hopefully I don't need to dish out a whole essay for this next entry because who hasn't watched The Incredibles? I've seen it, you've seen it, your dog probably watched it, we've all watched what many would describe as one of, if not Pixar's greatest movie. It's tough competition, that's for sure.

Spoilers for this season and the seasons before it (so 300+ episodes of content)
January 20, 2025 at 4:20 PM
Had the final episode not been delayed to the start of 2025, this would've been the final entry of the previous thread.

I've been up and down with Fairy Tail for the past decade or so since I've been watching it. I hold a lot of nostalgia for it but even I'm willing to admit its got some problems.
