Just the Ticket

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Mini Animeister. Christmas came early this year [insert blasphemous sex joke here], Ticketholders! Not only is this my 700th post on Blogger, but after weeks of disappointment (because following up the story and combat masterpiece that was the "Tamagami" episode is like my cynical ass trying to appear - or feel - consistently happy, useful, and productive at a job where I'm outranked and outperformed by people half my age: rare to impossible), subjectively inconsistent comedy, lore with diminishing returns, and repetitive plotting, Dragon Ball DAIMA finally nails the runback with something...legendary. And do you know what else would be legendary, Ticketholders? If you would please  give me your energy and grant my wish by  clicking the Follow button to Become A Ticketholder for real, commenting at the bottom of this post, helping out my ad revenue as you read so I can afford to be buried deeper than a foot underground, and follow...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Ticketmaster Christmas is almost here, Ticketholders! And despite my efforts to be SMART about my plans as 2024 rushes to an end, my denial persists in expecting time to go slower for the sake of my future so I can figure out what the hell it's going to be.  Financially speaking, said future continues to be bright for now. I still have terrible sleep habits, low energy and motivation on the days I don't work, and anxiety about the future, but my work hours have improved, so I'm feeling...better? More essential, maybe? I'm slowly but surely retooling my resumés (one for the service industry and one for copywriting because I can’t catch a break with the resumé I have now, and it feels like I have to lower my expectations because the job I want doesn't want me), so all I can really do now is push through No Hours Winter and hope my financial hardship relief will get me through until my hours get back to normal or I find supplementa...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Ticketmaster So far in these Dream Eater and Myths & Legends reviews, I have included reprints of content relevant to each issue’s focus property (like I did with The Piper One-Shot and Britney's M&L Volume ). But if the reprint content is dense enough ( Samantha already got her own character-focused post , plus some appearances in Myths & Legends , and Baba Yaga has had her introductory issue , a Halloween appearance , a Tales From Wonderland appearance , appearances throughout Volume Eight , and the entire Sinbad Crossover trilogy, not to mention Myths & Legends and her focus in this very event series ), I will simply include a link if you wish to catch up. Such is the case with Wonderland , which gets the One-Shot treatment here, after a trilogy of miniseries, another trilogy of Tales Volumes , and three years of Annuals because threes coming in threes is so three that it deserves to have won one. Don't at me for...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Mini Animeister. Friday's episode of Dragon Ball DAIMA , despite being the projected halfway point of the series (we're at the tenth episode out of the announced twenty), was both surprisingly fun and as disappointing as I expected, kind of like I was being trolled. Before I get into what I mean by that, I must ask as always that you please  give me your energy and grant my wish by  clicking the Follow button to  Become A Ticketholder  if you haven't already, commenting at the bottom of this post, helping out my ad revenue as you read so I can expand my Universe, and following me on  Tumblr ,  Reddit ,  Facebook ,  YouTube , and  LinkedIn  to like what you see and receive the latest news on my content. Part of what made "Ocean" feel like a special episode was, as I mentioned in my "Tamagami" post, the episode beginning with the pre-OP intro. Also, this opening establishing shot of Gomah's castl...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Ticketmaster December continues, Ticketholders! And despite the ongoing state of the world and my winter finances, things are slightly looking up. I still have terrible sleep habits, low energy and motivation on the days I don't work, and anxiety about the future, but my hours are improving slightly and I no longer have to worry about a major source of stress at home (that being a long-standing plumbing issue that caused many sleepless nights and much distraction this past year), so I'm feeling...better? I'm slowly but surely retooling my resumés (one for the service industry and one for copywriting because I can’t catch a break with the resumé I have now, and it feels like I have to lower my expectations because the job I want doesn't want me), so all I can really do now is push through No Hours Winter and hope my financial hardship relief will get me through until my hours get back to normal or I find supplemental income.

Article by Sean Wilkinson a.k.a. the Ticketmaster Last week, my research for The Dream Eater Saga #2 ( The Piper One-Shot) led to me getting a Final Jeopardy!  response right. There's none of that this week, and I've already aired my grievances about my winter financial situation in the Time Drops  post on Saturday, so all I have left is to ask that you please  Become A Ticketholder  if you haven't already, leave a legendary comment at the bottom of this post, help out my ad revenue as you read so I don't have to resort to monetizing viral videos where a witch and a florist beat up an old man, and follow me on  Tumblr ,  Reddit ,  Facebook , and  LinkedIn  to like what you see and receive the latest  Grimm  news on my mythical content. Before I begin this week's Grimm Fairy Tales  Retrospective  in earnest, you can check out my thoughts on the above character biographies (and others) in my review of The Dream Ea...
