Right off the bat, I regret not watching it sooner so I could catch the limited-run singalong at my theater, because that would've been awesome. This was such a breath of fresh air. The animation is gorgeous and on point and the fact that Huntrix will go from Glamorous Superstar Idols to Screaming Bug-Eyed Lunacy in like milliseconds is perfection - and I'm nowhere near being a fan of Kpop itself, but the songs are just one banger after another, I gotta get the soundtrack. If I was a kid when this movie came out, I just know my autistic ass would've driven everyone in the house CRAZY with how many times I'd replay the music alone. Is there an art book? I need an art book I need it I need an art book RIGHT NOW

Favorite parts:

The implication that snack-time being interrupted by demons is a recurring problem for Huntrix, and is also relatable as hell. NEVER INTERRUPT MY SNACK TIME IF I HAVEN'T EATEN ALL DAY.

The girls' general reactions and behavior regarding demons reminded me of playing a wacky d20 Modern/Sci-fi/Fantasy genre combo campaign with meatspace friends back in late high school/early college. It felt good to unexpectedly be brought back to that time in my life.

Bobby is so clueless about everything the girls do and I love him.

Mira and Zoey getting hyped up for lazing around on the couch doing NOTHING is such a mood, because sometimes after a long day at work you just wanna kick back, turn your brain off and watch a turtle documentary. COUCH COUCH COUCH COUCH COUCH

The reveal of Rumi's patterns changing the entire trajectory of the plot - like one is savvy enough to see the turns this movie will take, sure, but the delivery is excellent and rife with applicability considering how desperate Rumi is to hide her half-demon nature.

The public interactions between Huntrix and the Saja Boys is hysterical, especially the one guy (Mystery?) just barking like a dog out of nowhere and Zoey whacking him with her pen.

Rumi, after she's been outed as half-demon and runs away from Mira and Zoey, then confronting Celine for seeming only capable of loving her human side and just wanting the demon side to just not exist is just OOOOH. OHHHHH. APPLICABILITY AND METAPHOR AND INTERPRETATION. GRAHHHHHHHH

"Don't you get it?! This is what I am! Look at me! Why can't you look at me?! WHY COULDN'T YOU LOVE ME?!" "I do!" "ALL OF ME!"

Rumi's decision to let this Honmoon be destroyed SO A NEW HONMOON CAN BE MADE. "When darkness meets the light." GRAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

"You're just my type~! :D Oh well! >:D"

DERPY AND THE FLOWER POT. ALSO THE FACT THAT THE TIGER'S NAME IS DERPY. I LOVE HIM. I WANT A BIG PLUSHIE OF HIM AND SUSSIE.

Here are the top five songs that have most been on my mind recently!

I'll Be Good - Jaymes Young (specifically this slowed down version)

Take Me to Church but it's Epic- Reinaeiry

Birthday Party - AJR

Supermassive Nation Army

Deep Blue Sea - Missio

I wasn't quite sure if this was a spotify top 5 thing or not, but I don't have spotify, so it doesn't really matter, lol. These songs have just been hitting all the right buttons in my brain for the past week or two! Very tasty.

Oh wow, been a while! How's it going?

This is something I really, honestly haven't thought about, but looking back... I think the darkest I could've gone with Abraxas was if, during the events of Chapter 16, Vivienne actually became the mindless, violent thing Ghidorah wanted her to become. Not even a cruel and abusive sibling like Ichi and Ni were to San, because that at least would be something. The absolute worst thing I could've done after pulling off That Cursed Bit (which is on its own already the absolute worst thing I did to her) would make so that the Abraxas Vivienne we grew to know, who San adored with all his heart, didn't exist anymore... and the San we got to watch become a better being? He wouldn't be revived.

What would be left can be comparable to an Eversor Assassin from Warhammer 40K. For those not in the know, to quote their Berserker entry on TV Tropes: "Eversors are pumped so full of performance-enhancing combat drugs that their bodies explode if the drug flow stops. Because these drugs enhance lethal aggression and cannot be shut off without killing the addicted Assassin, putting them into cryo-stasis is necessary to keep them alive between deployments."

I AM ALWAYS A SLUT FOR THE TITAN DNA MACGUFFIN!

Madison would think Trapper is the coolest dude, taking such a unique field that so few people would have the bravery (or insanity) to enter with such gusto. Mark just thinks the guy's out of his mind.

Trapper: Here, we've got pictures of my last batch of patients! I tell you what, those poor apes had some dental problems that would send the hardiest dentists into therapy.

Madison, hyped: Holy crap, so you gave them all metal dentures?!

Trapper: Well, not all of 'em. Some just needed a tooth or two replaced, only one fella needed a whole new set. But the look on their faces once they figured out it didn't hurt anymore, you'd think it was Giant Monster Christmas!
