I enjoy criticizing things. You will find me criticizing things all over the internet, but never outside of it, because I am never outside of it. I'm an aspiring critic, so my thoughts on various subjects such as anime, video games, or movies will be more notably negative than the average person's. I tend to be harsh with things that I find cliché, as it is one of the more discouraging things to face in whatever medium. The same can be said about trends, such as a particular setting, a specific character type, or the inclusion of nostalgia/"paying homage" to a previous work in a particular series. See, for example: Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Ghostbusters (2016), Jurassic World, among others. Outside of critiquing, I'm an avid storyteller, football (Americano) fanatic, gamer, and all-around artistically-minded simpleton. Easily fascinated by nature while refusing to interact with it outside of the home. That's the kind of hypocrisy one can expect from me. I am also the funniest person I've ever known. Thank you for taking time out of your day to visit my profile.

Top 10 Films I Viewed in 2020

by KapodacoLeave a Comment on Top 10 Films I Viewed in 2020

Video games boiled down to what I reviewed for my main job. Anime was, outside of December, practically nonexistent. Football remained steady, but the output of football-related content on the blog was, well, out of bounds. When all else plundered, films continued to pile up in 2020, and while reviews weren’t plentiful outside the 2020 March of the Movies, it still remained an enjoyable splurge back into the blogspace. In general, films remained a constant in a changing 2020 for me personally. 100 films (including comedy specials and shorts) were viewed by me in 2020—10 of those are bound to be good, right?

Merry Days of Anime 2020: Megalo Box

by KapodacoLeave a Comment on Merry Days of Anime 2020: Megalo Box

Many words were written about anime this season. A lot more than written over the course of the year, as my interest in the anime medium has slowly dwindled. Whether that says more about me as a person or the medium itself is debatable, but one thing’s for sure: I’m not much of an anime man anymore. More of a recommendation dispenser. I’ve seen so many that I’m able to take a quick browse through my list and give about three or four recommendations per genre. Like an old sage with a Word document. Where am I going with this?

Merry Days of Anime 2020: Given

by KapodacoLeave a Comment on Merry Days of Anime 2020: Given

The last couple posts on my 2020 Merry path have been quite long, so I’m hoping to write this one with more brevity. As nice as it is to write 1,500+ word essays every time, my schedule just cannot withstand it, lest I push posts to super late at night and I disregard all other hobbies (which would mean death).

Merry Days of Anime 2020: JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken (2012)

by Kapodaco2 Comments on Merry Days of Anime 2020: JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken (2012)

I’m proud of myself, readers. Not only did I finish a shounen series, I finished one of the most memed anime series of the current generation. While it only consisted of the debut 26 episodes, I have now familiarized myself enough with the material to understand internet culture just a little more. My lifelong goal as an internet historian/archivist is ever-so-slightly closer to being achieved.

I’m Participating in an Indie Game Speedrunning Contest

by Kapodaco2 Comments on I’m Participating in an Indie Game Speedrunning Contest

I do not enjoy speedrunning. It’s a hyper-stressful, no-holds-barred precision fest of mega-alertness that I typically don’t care to partake in. This is doubly so when the subject in question is the entirety of a game, and not just one section. It requires patience, luck, knowledge, foresight, and skill to be able to say that you can beat something quicker than anything else. I hate it. Unfortunately, Prodigal is a game I played for review recently that I fell in love with, so when developer Colorgrave announced via Twitter that they were holding a speedrunning contest—with prizes to boot—how could I say no?
