thank you for fighting the good fight! I know I rag on the theory a little in the video, but the excitement around Apple Girlington was undeniably infectious!

reminds me of the time videogame music legend hirokazu tanaka (hip tanaka) gathered a bunch of people also named hirokazu tanaka to sing a song about how they share the same name. it's probably the best video on youtube? youtu.be/mpGVw07nOE4

these days you can maybe do a 10 episode season of a show before it gets shitcanned by a studio exec because it didn't get a billion streams on its first day. in 1995 you could make a show called "the mask: animated series" and run it for three seasons and fifty four episodes

the bee's knee @thebeeskneee.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

went down a rabbit hole earlier and learned that in 1995 CBS had two animated shows based on jim carrey movies. and they did a crossover between them where they do not adapt to the other's animation style whatsoever. what was in the water back then

shot from "The Aceman Cometh" episode of The Mask: Animated Series. Ace Ventura and The Mask are both pointing with their right hand, with the other on their hip. I guess they're dancing? I'm not going to watch the show to find out

Generally I’m not very active on Bluesky, but this was such an incredible watch I have to recommend to all… um… wait let me see… 36 of my followers! Expressed a lot of the stuff I think Deltarune does well thematically- and way smarter than I ever could!

'Is deltarune metamodern?' is a topic I've been meaning to write about for ages, so I'm glad someone has beaten me to the punch in video form

new Deltarune video! it's about metamodernism, and the way oscillation runs through the whole game. that sounds like nonsense probably, but it'll make sense when you watch it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXdn...

I wrote this a while ago and forgot to publish it. who designed the NEO body in Deltarune? I think it was Alphys, an opinion that some other Deltarune fans seem to bristle at. a nice, low stakes post for a Saturday: thebeesknee.substack.com/p/alphys-des... #deltarune

I'm really impressed, I agree perfectly with this ranking. I've been hating on tuesday for *years* and it always feels like I have to pitch to people why it's the worst day of the week. glad to know I'm not the only one. fuck tuesday.

obviously the netflix movie did not succeed at doing anything well (besides casting willem dafoe), but I don't think it was a bad idea to try to adapt it. anyway I'm always open to being pleasantly surprised re: champloo, but all signs point to this becoming a terrible stain on a series I love

000

the bee's knee @thebeeskneee.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

putting it side by side with something like the horrific netflix adaptation of death note -- the core story at the heart of death note is something that could absolutely translate to live action, and someone talented could do really neat things with a retelling of that story in that format

100

the bee's knee @thebeeskneee.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

and then of course you think about whether an american studio is the best fit for a very uniquely japanese world and story. or, like the poster before pointed out, how integral animation was to the storytelling! there is nothing about champloo that lends itself to live action

the bee's knee @thebeeskneee.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

the music was absolutely vital to the show, it could not be replaced. and unfortunately nujabes is dead. without it, without him, what are you trying to make? is a "major recording artist" what this needs?

Clements said music will be central to the process — the original anime's hip-hop-inflected score was a defining characteristic — and that the studio plans to bring in a major recording artist early to help establish the show's sound.

the bee's knee @thebeeskneee.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

I don't usually like to be a live action adaptation hater, I feel like there's often a lot of interesting possibilities to explore creatively when switching from animation to live action so having said that, believe me when I say adapting champloo is a bad idea and will inevitably suck shit

with hindsight perhaps it would've been more impactful to make dogma a bigger fight rather than just being the lead-in to beast, like wayne says. it's interesting to consider

the bee's knee @thebeeskneee.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

but that said, there are a total of four (count em, FOUR) "final boss" fights with mom in isaac - mom, mom's heart, mother, beast. and while other bosses are obv focused in on religion, it feels like dogma is finally getting closer to the root cause of that baggage that weighs the family down

the bee's knee @thebeeskneee.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

on a first playthrough, dogma into beast is a really powerful progression imo. tboi has always had this push and pull between the high concept struggles isaac faces via his relationship with religion and the more grounded issues with his parents. dogma (religion) and beast (mom). they do complement.

seconding people mentioning expedition 33. when it came out, I mostly saw people calling it clair obscur. then later this year everyone started calling it e33 instead, and it took me a while to realize they were the same thing. is it a minor, mostly unimportant point? sure. does it annoy me? yeah!!

it's a great joy when someone articulates something you've thought about but never put into words. I should not have to do legwork to figure out whether your game is a sequel to a game I've never heard of, or just a game with an unnecessarily long title!
