Anime Spotlight #8: I'm Standing On A Million Lives

Image
 Happy AniMonday! And no, I'm not. I'm not  standing anywhere near a million lives. I have barely been able to inch this blog to the brink of sixty thousand pageviews. That's not sixty-thousand per day or even sixty-thousand per post; that's sixty thousand total , for this entire blog, since I began writing it...one moment please... NINE YEARS AGO!!!  And quite a few of those pageviews are just me, feeling nostalgic and bingeing as much of myself as I can before I fall asleep. So, please, before you read any further, leave a like and a comment and share this post with as many people as you know because high numbers are good numbers--unless we're talking about debt, then it's bad (just ask our last President!). Sorry, I guess I haven't reached the point yet where making fun of Donald Trump has lost its magic. Perhaps a distraction with otherworldly matters will help?

In fact, it's as far from any kind of rating as it can get because it is Un rated. After beating her pushover brother at Crazyball (a game with the kind of convoluted, bullshit rule set that only a child could come up with or understand) by punching him in the solarplexus and stealing all of his points, a sociopathic little bitch-girl forces him to dig his own grave in their backyard, where he unearths Rita Repulsa's space dumpster. Apparently, thousands of years ago, while being enslaved by fanatical alien robot angels, the titular character (wh

 AniMonday is here again, and it's gonna be big! That's because, as I told you last Monday, this week's two Anime  in the Spotlight  are about giant monsters and giant robots, respectively. And like last week's first two selections, one is great, and one could have been, but wasn't. The great anime is DECA~DENCE , a series about a girl named Natsume who, by virtue of a near-fatal accident she suffered as a child, becomes an unregistered citizen of the titular mobile fortress-city, and her underdog hero's journey to become a warrior and fight giant, abstract-looking monsters called Gadoll, which were responsible for her father's death and the loss of her arm. But because of the natural order, the beginning of Captain America: The First Avenger , and the first few episodes of Attack On Titan , she is judged to be unfit and assigned to work under Kaburagi, a former Gadoll fighter turned "armor detailer" (scraping monster gore off of the outside walls
