Spring Anime Explosion Thread

Spring is practically upon us, hot on the heels of one of the strongest winter offerings I've ever seen. Up first is me playing catch up with write-ups for all the finished series I've been watching, and in the coming days there'll be posts on Yurikuma Arashi, Yowamushi Pedal: Grande Road, and Gundam Build Fighters Try. Pretty much immediately after that, Spring starts in earnest, giving me approximately no time to recuperate as a glut of new series descends upon me like a horde of vampire bats come to drain me of my ability to relate to the outside world.

WOOOOOO PARTY

Spoils (Re-)Watches The X-Files

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

One thread per episode under this master thread? I'm assuming a separate top-level thread for every episode might get unwieldy, especially in the weeks where there are a lot of bonus episodes.

Please keep in mind, some people are first time watchers, so anything beyond the episode being discussed must be in rot13.

This week's schedule (times TBD?), from the Google Calendar that dumblesinwinter made last week:

Monday: 1x01
Wednesday: 1x02
Friday: 1x03

And for reference, here's Mark's list of triggers in the show, though I think we can probably also warn for them in sub-threads here, before each episode.

Crafty People of Spoils!

I am on a quest, friends! A quest for cute wedding cake toppers. Some of you here might be familiar with the video game To the Moon, by Freebird Games. If you are not familiar, I highly recommend it!

In the interest of avoiding spoilers for said game, I'll just say that my fiance and I are huge fans. We are considering using some music from the game in our ceremony, but would also really like to have wedding cake toppers that look like River, Johnny, and perhaps Anya. However, no official merchandise of this sort exists.

I've gotten the approval of the game's creator to try and get custom toppers made. The only question is...where can I go? Do you guys know anywhere I could get custom cake toppers (or really just models/action figures that I could then transform into toppers by putting them on a cake?) made that look like the video game characters? For those not familiar, it's in a sort of old school, 8-bit style.

The Traveling Tale by the Mark Spoils Community (title credit to Szark)

Feel free to share ideas to help some more people participate

This project the spoils community writes a story one person at a time with the goal of having Mark read it while on tour. (If we can have him agree to be on video, even better)

The rules as follows:
1) Write one to NO LIMIT here in the replies section, it can be whatever you want. You can help the story grow, or post something outrageous to mess it up. Just please make sure the transitions are smooth.
2) Please wait at least one other author before adding another contribution
3) Please try not to include any major trigger content or spoilers, especially Mark's Triggers.

that's it, feel free to read the story in whole or just the last sentence when you contribute yours.

I have created a google doc to organize all the content as its being written, the body of the story and the credits at the end to list all of the authors who contributed, even if its only once sentence.

I had a moment of revelation today. One of those moments that could only be brought about by the internet.

Since I was a kid, I've had this weird image in my head of a lighthouse in a show about ghosts. I saw it on TV at some point. It was around the time that I was really into Goosebumps and Eerie Indiana, and for years I thought it was from the latter. Then I bought the DVDs and it was nowhere to be found (and I watched all the episodes multiple time). I asked my mom, and I asked my brother, and neither knew (my mom's only guess was Pete's Dragon, but there were no ghosts and I was pretty sure it was TV and not a movie). I'm working my way through Are You Afraid of the Dark, and I thought maybe that was it for a while (because I have definitely not seen all of them).

Well, I finally found it. For a short time (like three months maybe) in 1997 Fox Kids aired episodes of the Australian kids series Round the Twist. That was exactly what it was.

Thank you internet
