  1. I just saw something about this earlier. When I think back on it, seeing the ads for this movie were probably the earliest memory I have of Bionicle. From those, I somehow surmised that it must be incredibly violent and wholly inappropriate for a kid my age. Thus, it would be another couple years before I actually found myself getting into the series.

    As for the movie itself, I don't remember a whole lot about it. I didn't like that the Toa never used their elemental powers, that's one. I also wish Makuta had looked more like the Ultimate Dume set rather the 2003 version with wings, but that may be an unpopular opinion as I've realized I'm one of the few people that actually likes Ultimate Dume. All in all, I've always preferred other forms of story content to the movies.

    Love Stage!!, two cuties fall for each other after doing an ad shoot, they originally did it as kids and were requested to do it again.

    Maaaaan, I remember this thing now. My ex had us watch a few episodes of it together. My ex had watched it at a much younger age, we found it together randomly while scrolling through some streaming service. At the time, I thought it was kinda dorky, but sweet and I was interested in watching more of it together. After we broke up, I looked back with sadness that I never really got involved with the culture it represented. (At least the culture I thought it represented.) Now I look back and feel ashamed that I let my ex (not to say I'm totally guilt free either though) compare our relationship one actually between two men, even one so fictionalized, romanticized, and fetishized.

    Oh yeah, by the way that show is about a romance between two men.

  3. Really cool to get some official action on this, especially since it confirms there will be something substantial to it. I'm looking forward to it whenever it comes out.

    Of note to me was that the production company website lists the target age as 6-9. I wonder if that's just marketing mumbo jumbo. That skews a good bit younger than Bionicle if I remember correctly and I was thinking this would be skewing a little older than Bionicle from what we've heard previously.

  4. I haven't visited this section of the site in years, but I was interested by this and I said I would give it a look. There's not a whole lot to judge on so far, but the commentary of time's effect on the comic makers is spot-on and I'm looking forward to seeing more.

  5. I finished up playing AI: The Somnium Files recently. I'm a big Zero Escape fan so I was very excited by this game going in, especially after all the online marketing. While I don't think it was quite as good that series, it was still held my interest the whole time and will probably be my favorite game of the year. It also managed to subvert a lot of the expectations I had going in from the marketing and the author's previous work. My biggest complaint would be the overuse of a certain kind of dirty joke.
