Give the flowers a break, lady. Impressions: And ironically, here we have the opposite from the previous show, both in being more dramatic and in reversing the genders. And yet, still winds up being almost exactly the same. People still appearing in explosions of pastels, the entire thing being internally narrated by the girl, and …
Polar Opposites #01 — Girl Makes Faces
Certainly will be obnoxiously screen-cap spammed. Impressions: At least it’s expressive, but the issue with its premise is that this is already the cliche standard going back probably forty years.

Weird society, but sure. Impressions: Unfortunately, I think I’d also put this on the south side of mediocre, and even with this kind of show going out of style, I am much more familiar with its ilk and when it’s done well, such as Black Bullet or Release the Spice’s intros. That’s about one part …
