Cool Stuff I Liked in August 2026

Playing

Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time – YEEAAAHHHH FINALLLYYYY I AM PLAYING THIS WOOOO!!  Fantasy Life was my #1 favorite game on the 3DS (do you remember the feature where you could set your favorite game in your profile so it would be visible to your friends?  I used Fantasy Life for mine!).  I love its adorable and colorful and silly and optimistic world so much.  I tried the same approach I used when I played the first game and chose both a combat Life and a crafting Life (I just can’t NOT be a Tailor!), but with a huge skill tree in this game that wasn’t present before, grinding is a little overwhelming.  And there’s the new Artist Life that I want to try out too… maybe it would be much better to focus only on one Life and grind others later once it’s nice and easy to warp around and gather stuff, rather than doing ALL of the quests for ALL of your Lifes at once.

There are more layers of complication in this entry as well… in addition to the big skill tree for every Life of your own character, you also need to equip your party members with gear, which was never something you had to worry about in the first game.

And there are so many game modes, too… 😵‍💫  There’s the ‘main story’ map (“The Past” with some excursions into the Depths area in “The Present”), the town-building aspect (the non-Depths area of “The Present”), the massive open world which is a whole separate map from everything else and doesn’t seem very involved in the main story (“Ginomorsia”), a roguelike mode (“Snoozaland”, which maybe gets a pass because this was added in a free update patch as a bonus after the game released), and I just recently unlocked some kind of temporary instanced dungeon mode that grows from tree saplings?  That’s like, a lot of unrelated gameplay to manage on top of juggling the various tasks for your Life (which multiplies if you try out more than one) and the main story.

So, there’s a lot more ‘brain energy’ involved in playing this compared to the first game, which makes it a little less cozy and relaxing… but taking your time and exploring what you like at your own pace keeps the many levels of management stress at bay.  There’s not really any way to get anything wrong, just a lot of different areas to invest time in, so you can relax a little.

I’m very, very grateful that there are so many shortcuts in the menu for jumping straight to your Life Master or teleport directly to an NPC that gave you a quest, and the ability to see which material shops in which towns stock the stuff you need for crafting.  Shortcuts that make the repetitive stuff and quest management just a little bit easier make a big difference when there are so many other systems.

Mysterious Thief Emerald – Mentioned this last month in my list of Otome Jam 2026 entries I was interested in.  I LOVE IT!!!  The writing is super fun, the characters are great, and I LOVE A MAGICAL GIRL PHANTOM THIEF, I DO.  The Saint Tail DNA is there, with a magical girl “save the unsuspecting humans from the evil jewel that’s subtly stealing their life force” slant, and I am into it, especially when a second magical phantom thief shows up.  The dynamic between the three main characters is great because they rib each other but generally get along (feels like the kind of story that would be very easy to just have all the characters hate each other and make all of the dialog sarcastic, but Mysterious Thief Emerald avoids falling into that trap).

Watching the BF Play

Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages – Even with Ages being my childhood version of this duology, I’ve NEVER seen how the game changes when you play a “linked game” version carried over from Seasons, so it’s almost like new!  Hey, so it turns out Princess Zelda is in this game??  And bombchu!  AND the Biggoron’s Sword?? 🤯 The sword is so big, it shifts around the interface at the top of the screen lmao.  Never realized there’s such a significant amount of content that’s totally unique to a linked game that you’d never see if you only owned one of the two games.  Playing both from the Switch Online Game Boy collection is nice and convenient, because going back and forth between the two to input codes is very fast and easy.  If you have the Switch Online service then I highly recommend playing it that way.

Dual Hearts – The Playstation era is totally unknown to me as a Nintendo kid, and there are soooo many cool JRPGs I’ve never seen before.  This is one of them!  The character designs and environments in this are soooo nice.  And I LOVE the Alundra-like plot of diving into dreams themed around each respective character (same developers, idk how much of the specific team overlaps).  Really enjoying this one!  Tumble is so cute, he’s like a giant rideable pudding-bunny!

Special Shout-Out To…

A special shout-out goes to Big Walk, which occupied a lot of my attention this month despite that I’m not even the one playing it.  I got invested in three different youtube channels playing it (it’s fascinating how each friend group approached the puzzles & their necessary communication in different ways!), but Stumpt is the only group that continued uploading multiple parts beyond the intro and reached the ending.

Reading

King Arthur & The Knights of Justice – The 90s cartoon this is based on was mentioned last month, now it’s time to read the modern comic.  I ended up reading both volumes this month!  It’s like a magical boy story but idk, didn’t really grip me, it isn’t goofy like the cartoon, and the premise of “footballers in King Arthur times” is so silly that idk if it works to try to make it serious.  Now somehow I have to track down the crossover chapter where these characters meet Princess Gwenevere & the Jewel Riders because that’s the whole reason I put in this research in the first place lol.

Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages – Just like with Oracle of Seasons last month, I was able to read along with the manga while progressing through the game, which is quite a treat.  There is a bit more story and depth explored in the manga and even more great scenes with Ralph (one of my overall favorite Zelda characters btw).  Particularly notable about this volume is the addition of a totally new character that isn’t present in the game, a knight named Raven who serves Queen Ambi in the past and connects Link personally with the time period of the past.  And he’s like, rly cute. 👉👈

The Body in the Library by Agatha Christie – A great listen during some car rides.  Some investing twists and turns and over-the-top fake-outs (the girl found in the library is SO extravagant, the method of death for the other murder is SO grisly).  But no one can pull the wool over Miss Marple’s eyes. 🕵️‍♀️

In the Forests of Serre by Patricia A. McKillip – Isn’t the Kinuko Y. Craft cover art sooooo pretty? 🥰  This was my beach read over vacation this month!!  I liked it so much, I picked this book to talk about with my friends when we had a casual book club get-together (of the ‘talk about whatever you’ve read recently’ variety).  McKillip’s writing style is magical and enchanting, like reading a poem, while remaining easily-followable and manages to avoid going abstract or purple.  While reading, I feel like I’m enveloped by the spells that weave around the princess in her dismal situation in the stony cliffside castle and the prince stumbling through the mesmerizing forest in pursuit of the firebird that has bewitched him.

Romance at Droitgate Spa by P.G. Wodehouse – This is so frickin’ funny lmao.  The breakout star of this story is definitely the magician (“The Great Boloni”, sounds like “baloney” lol) that can’t seem to stop performing tricks with every motion, even mid-dialog.  I could envision this character very easily in Ace Attorney with a bunch of animations where they are shuffling cards, pulling rabbits from their sleeves, and producing coins from behind other characters’ ears.  This is a public domain short story that you can either read in one or two sessions or listen to as an audiobook on Youtube in under an hour, and I can’t recommend it enough, it’s SUCH a quick and easy read/listen and it’s guaranteed to make you smile.

Watching

Galaxy Angel – Officially available on Youtube both dubbed and subbed.  EXTREMELY silly with EXTREMELY 00’s-style anime humor.  Some of the girls’ missions to themed planets and abandoned satellite outposts are great sci-fi premises. I like when we catch glimpses of the absurdly personalized bedrooms each character has on the ship haha.

Sailor Moon Super S – HELIOS TIME AT LAST YEEAAHHH WOOOOOOOOOUUURUAAAAGHH. (One of my favorite Sailor Moon characters btw. I can’t resist a precious gentle unicorn boy 🥺)  This is the very end of what was dubbed into English for TV, so the adventure of reliving that nostalgic time has come to an end. 🥲  Of course we could watch the Viz dubbed version of Sailor Stars, and there’s aaaaall of Crystal to go through if we really want to.  But once the Super S Movie is done we might call the Sailor Moon Extravaganza quits for now and replace this time with other things to watch.  Btw, the ending theme for this arc is bumpin’.

Lucky Star – Yet another old classic which I’d never seen before I started this month… (and yet strangely I feel certain I’ve seen the full introductory dance sequence in the form of gifs… 🤔)  Sometimes I check the wiki for explanations of the references after some episodes, a practice which brings to mind my reading of Sparknotes for an extra layer of understanding when I’m reading classic books lol.  My favorite character is Miyuki because I love her pink hair and that she is sweet and very smart. 😊

This was a pretty significant month for me IRL, I don’t think I want to make a regular thing of sharing personal life stuff online but it’s enough to say that August was a very happy month for me. 🤗

Cool Stuff I Liked in July 2026

Friday, July 31st, 2026

Playing

Don’t Pick Up Strange Aliens – Very cute and cuddly and innocent.  This was one of many intriguing participants in Otome Jam 2026; a couple of others from the jam that I also bookmarked to play are Love’s Young Dream and Abracademia, but I didn’t get around to playing them. 😭  And looking at the list again, now I also want to play Starfallen Strength, Our Light Affliction, Mysterious Thief Emerald, and Ember Sands… GAH!  This is the whole reason that I’m supposed to have a “just play something, anything, just for like 20 mins a day, just do it do it do it the backlog is too long!!” habit, but I’ve clearly fallen off of it again. 😅

Watching the BF Play

Live A Live – (My representative image here is one of the countdown illustrations from Square-Enix’s twitter leading up to the HD-2D remake release – it’s cute!)  Only Oersted’s route and Final Chapter were left to do after last month.  I was very, very grateful that @wreckscalibur hadn’t been spoiled about key turning points of this game so the exciting moments came as a surprise for him.  You know a game has a good ending when you’re cheering “YEEEAAAAHHHH!!!” during the climactic moments of the final battle.

Fairune 2 – Fairune dares to ask, “What if Hydlyde was good?”  LOVE this developer; other good Skipmore games I can recommend in particular are the first Fairune (the series is bundled together on Steam), Kamiko (one of the first digital games we ever bought when we first got our Switch), and Synopsis Quest (very silly browser game).  Love to have a quick and snappy little adventure with satisfying progression – though this is larger than you’d expect.  When you first start, there’s an overworld map that you gradually fill out, as well as an ‘underground’ map where all of the caves are, and I remember assuming, “Ah, these two maps are probably the scale of the whole game.”  NAY.  There are MORE OVERWORLDS.  And even more after that!  Tons of very fun little secrets to find all around.

Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons – My childhood game was Ages and I’ve never seen Seasons in full.  I like the Subrosians, they’re silly!  Very interesting seeing the different versions of the items that upgrade in different ways between the two games (both games have a Roc’s Feather, but only Seasons gets the Roc’s Cape; and both games have Zora Flippers, but only Ages upgrades it to a mermaid tail, etc…).  It made me wanna reread the Zelda manga that I have, too, so you’ll see that in the later section!

Casual Gaming

Anthropeum – As in “anthropology.”  Try to guess where in the world an artifact (sourced from The Met Gallery’s collection) came from, and from when.  I’m okay-ish at the where but terrible at the when. 🤔  I tend to just default to 1 BCE for everything unless I know otherwise.

Huekle – A bunch of color-based puzzles??  Sometimes I can’t tell what the controls or instructions are.  But it’s so stylish to look at and there are SO MANY daily games here that one or two meh ones aren’t so bothersome.

Rebusly – A daily rebus puzzle (one of my favorite kinds of puzzles! and rare to find in daily/online format) based on a news headline of the day.  Your hints are snippets from the article.

Spellsword – It’s hard to get a screenshot of this one because there are about three different word games wrapped up in an adventurous little story.  You get a cute little intro, combine parts of words to identify the “enemy” you’ll be fighting, then you string letters together to do damage to its HP bar.  Then the enemy fights back, but you can defend if you unscramble an anagram quickly enough.  It’s not REALLY all that much like playing an RPG but just having a little bit of flavor or a theme of the day makes a basic word game more fun.  The “story” actually continues a little bit further every day.

Threezy – Similar to the card game Set (which can also be played in your browser) but the cards get replaced instead of staying on the screen.  If you don’t know of Set, it’s a little hard to explain, but you have to find sets of shapes that are all the same in some dimensions (shape, color, fill style, quantity, etc.) but different in at least one other dimension.  It’s hard to explain in words but starts to make sense once you’re looking at it and giving it a try.  I was excited to find a new online variation because sometimes a different choice of shapes or slightly different rules can be all it takes to make something new and refreshing lol.

Reading

Manga Classics: Jane Eyre – I never covered Jane Eyre during school, so this was a read purely for satisfying my curiosity.  As with other Manga Classics I’ve written about in these summaries, I enjoyed reading Sparknotes study guides after finishing the comic for deeper understanding.  I know that the Bronte sisters have a whole library of wonderful books – are there others that you’d recommend I should check out next? 🤗  (I thiiiiink I’ve already read Wuthering Heights in school, but I barely remember anything from it.)

Swordheart by T. Kingfisher – I have other T. Kingfisher books in my Want To Read list that I’m still willing to try, but I didn’t jive with the humor in this one.  If the witty exchanges were more like just one (1) quirky observation from the heroine and one (1) clever response from the male lead as the action moves them along, it would be bearable, but it’s the fact that every conversation is 3-5x longer than it needs to be because each participant must make a witty remark about the witty remark that the other one just said.  I don’t mind “quippy” protagonists; I like Murderbot, and I like Saturday morning cartoons from the 80s.  If it were simply that the characters said their funny line and then the momentum moved forward, I’d love it, but nothing ruins a good joke like dragging it out.  I certainly might be in the minority here because this book has tens of thousands of positive reviews that all praise its humor.  Like I said, I’m going to go ahead and try other books from this author because overall I like the D&D campaign-like adventure.

Honeysuckle Cottage by P.G. Wodehouse – Listened to this as an audiobook (free on youtube because most P.G. Wodehouse books are in the public domain!) while doing crafts outdoors.  Very silly and charming and only an hour of time investment.  You may worry about the protagonist’s behavior and attitude toward women, but don’t worry, it has a good ending, which is that the woman doesn’t end up married to this miserable guy lol.

Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons – Gee, Oracle of Seasons, how come Mom lets you have two categories?  Well, because both the game and the manga are really good, that’s why lol.  Why not read along? 😄  Every time I reread one of the Zelda manga volumes, it just reminds me that one of these days I have GOT to check out the massive Twilight Princess series sometime.  And because I own this physically, it’s another comic I could enjoy outdoors in the sunshine. ☀️  There are some fun new dynamics present in this adaptation that aren’t in the game, such as some familial background for Link, the fact that Link joins and travels with the dancing troupe for a while, and eventually you get a whole little adventuring party with Ricky and Maple on the quest alongside him.

The Sequel by Jean Hanff Korelitz – The protagonist of the first book (which I read last year) was a Miserable Man, now the POV has shifted to a Miserable Woman, and it’s remarkable how similar the two of them are considering how much she despised him.  There’s some morbid satisfaction in watching a Massive Jerk build what they think is an impenetrable fortress around them, but the weak foundation crumbles and we get to watch all of the consequences of their actions come crashing down and bury them.  I guess observing that sort of glorious train wreck again was what made me want to check out this second book, although interestingly things don’t turn out as terribly for the female protagonist as they did for the guy, somehow, other than all the murders I guess??  These aren’t protagonists to cheer for, so this is very much a “What if this happened, wouldn’t that be messed up” kind of story.

Watching

Pretty Boy Detective Club – I… thiiink I enjoyed this?  What a strange story, with a strange mood.  It’s a bit less of a detective mystery than you’d expect, more like just a bunch of weird things that happen involving their school… odd that most of the dialog of each episode is delivered through monologues (either the heroine’s inner thoughts, or very very long and roundabout deductions from the other Detective Club members that somehow always point toward government conspiracy).  I liked the Artistic Genius guy (wearing the oversized lab coat) because the rare times when he spoke were always very impactful.

An Observation Log of My Fiancée Who Calls Herself a Villainess – This is SO STINKIN’ cute and funny, then, as most things do, makes a serious swerve in the last third.  Emotions get a little high, but it’s a comedy so it keeps making gags to keep things light.  I loved all the pretty clothes!  And if you’ve read/watched any otome isekai villainess anything, you already know how this kind of story goes, but it was interesting for the main POV to be from the male lead this time around, and that the heroine was genre-savvy as well!  (The heroine’s name is ‘Heronia’ btw, which made me laugh.)

Casablanca – I’ve seen this before (many years ago, and I didn’t remember much from it) but it was a new watch for Wreckscalibur.  Watching Casablanca is one of the most constant ‘Ohhh, that’s where that reference comes from’ experiences you can have, haha.  And afterward, it’s required viewing to check out some classic parodies, like Looney Tunes’s Carrotblanca, and who could ever forget all of the magnificently-adapted Casablanca scenes in the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode, Overdrawn at the Memory Bank?  (that’s a link to an entire movie btw. enjoy.)

The Great Mouse Detective – This is like the inverse of Casablanca in that it’s something Wreckscalibur watched as a kid, but this was my first viewing of it.  It’s great, love it!  Had no idea about Vincent Price as the villain, who naturally had some great songs as most Disney Villains do.  The surprise guest appearance of Basil Rathbone’s (posthumous) voice as the human Sherlock Holmes speaking off-screen was also a great cameo.

King Arthur & The Knights of Justice – Ok so you know how I read the recent Princess Gwenevere & The Jewel Riders comics in the past months?  The publisher of those ALSO did a similar comic series for THIS OTHER Saturday morning cartoon, and THERE’S A BONUS CROSSOVER CHAPTER BETWEEN THEM.  So the two cartoons themselves, despite being about King Arthur and Gwenevere, aren’t actually related, but the modern comic adaptations are.  So now I’ve got to watch this nonsense (affectionate), just to learn & understand a little of what the comic is going to be and so I can ultimately read the crossover.  It’s good nonsense!!  We only watched two episodes but that was all it took to download all of them and put it in our shuffled nostalgic cartoon playlist on our TV (btw I highly recommend this practice, it’s great when you don’t know what to watch, just hit shuffle on the folder).  It’s about a football team that gets isekai’d into King Arthur times and they all get dumb (affectionate) superpowers.  They hype themselves up with the chant “Knights! Knights! Knights!” in the same way you’d say “Lads! Lads! Lads!” and Merlin has the same voice actor as Doctor Light from the Ruby Spears Mega Man series.  Everyone should watch this.

Cool Stuff I Liked in May 2026

Sunday, May 31st, 2026

Hey there, long time no update!

I’ve been making these “Stuff I Liked” posts on Tumblr and thought I should revive my personal blog with them too. I’m also hoping to make some regular art updates again, and these diary-like monthly summary posts are a good way to keep things personal, too!

Playing

Café Enchanté – Ohhh this is sooooo lovely!  My previous Switch otome game was Cupid Parasite and WOW the difference in color palette, even with the same illustrator/character designer for both games… (it’s hard to come back down to reality after the fluorescent neon fever dream that is Cupid Parasite).  I love the super sweet angel boy soooo much!  He’s such a nerd and the other characters baby him because he has an aura of endearing helplessness. 😆  And he’s sooo pwetty. 🥺  I can’t wait for the chapter where the heroine visits his heavenly home world, and ultimately to see what his personal route is like~

Reading

Miriya & Marie – Yeah, that’s Marie from The Aristocats haha.  This comic is sooooo cute!  It’s in full color and every page is sooooo piiiiink!! 🌸🩷🎀🍨  And the illustrations themselves are super pretty, with many beautiful fashions and accessories that the heroine wears. 🎀  I actually love that the whole story is contained in one volume.  It’s nice to read a full arc and be finished, sometimes!

Free Comic Book Day (thumbnail shows only a few, in actuality I brought home many more than just these 😄) – This was quite early in the month (on the 2nd) and I’m always super lucky that our friendly local comic book shop stocks plenty of freebies!  Apparently there was some hubbub around free comic book day this year, because the main publisher that runs it went out of business last year, but more publishers such as Penguin Random House (which owns Dark Horse, Tokyopop, Webtoon Unscrolled etc.) have stepped up to fill in the gaps.  I didn’t know about that at all when I went by our store, I only learned it after the fact when I saw that some of what I’d brought home had a different logo (“Comics Giveaway Day” instead of “Free Comic Book Day”) and did some searching on the subject after coming home.  I hope it keeps running for a long time, because I always love the excuse to drop by the store and buy a physical book or two, just in time for it to be getting warmer so I have something screen-free to read outdoors!

Out of the freebies I picked up, the Jem & the Holograms + My Little Pony combo is almost like it was tailored for me specifically LOL.  This Jem is only okay to me – I’ve actually already read this comic series before but I don’t physically own any of it so this is kind of just like a bonus goodie for me.  I like the 80s cartoon much more than this reboot, the truly truly truly outrageous fashion and hairstyles just don’t quite hit right.

Dungeon Crawler Carl is a book that’s been sitting in my library holds for months, so I figured checking out the first chapter in graphic novel form would be like getting a preview, but I’m not sure that I like it. 🤔  I’ll still wait until I actually read the book before forming an opinion.

Sonic – I’m fairly familiar with the Archie Sonic series but these IDW ones are new to me.  More than the main comic content itself, a bunch of the ads in the back successfully hooked me lol.  Now I’ve got a few more IDW Sonic side-stories on my ComicsPlus shelf (the app my library uses). I don’t know who “Tangle & Whisper” are but I’m about to find out!

Mabel Mulligan – This is REALLY GOOD and I’m looking forward to when the full story releases in October!  Loooove the soft art style and coloring.  Easily my favorite of everything I picked up.

Also read some others like Street Fighter, Mega Man, and Archie.  Didn’t realize that recent Archie has a cast of modern new characters (there’s a nerdy girl that plays TTRPGs!) since I’ve only been reading vintage ones (I like the Betty & Veronica-specific books and have been sorting by oldest when I search them on ComicsPlus).  I’ll definitely sprinkle some of the more recent books into my reading now.

Princess Gwenevere & The Jewel Riders, Vol. 1 – Vol. 2 of this was my physical book purchase of choice when I stopped by the store for Free Comic Book Day.  I just needed to give vol. 1 a reread to remember what was going on here, which is fine by me because it just gives me more reading material for my time outside. 🏞️  I loooove the color palette of these books.  Every turn of the page is just delightful to the eyes.  The Jewel Rider outfits have very cool redesigns (Gwen’s in the original cartoon is a little goofy, this version looks much better), although, I wish they could have been given sparkly transformation sequences.  Exploring the backstory behind the Queen (Gwen’s mom) and Lady Kale (the main villain) is a worthwhile storyline!  Now, I can move on to the new purchase (vol 2) next month!

Everyone in this Bank is a Thief – The fourth in the Ernest Cunningham series which I like quite a lot – every book in the series has been very exciting, and that can’t be said of a lot of other series.  (I’ve posted about previous books a couple of times!)  Btw, read them in order and don’t skip ahead.  Personally, I love the cheeky foreshadowing on just about every page; the writing style is very ‘Did you notice the important thing that I just mentioned, reader? 😏’, which negative reviews always highlight as being grating, and I totally understand that, but idk something about it in these particular mysteries is very enthralling to me.  I’m always like “What do you mean we already learned the laptop password, where was it? 😲” and I go scan the previous passage that listed all of the details in the office to try to catch where it might have been hinted. I always speed through these in just a few days because they really hit the ground running and keep you captivated all the way through, with cliffhangers that make it hard to put down between chapters, and again, all of that delicious foreshadowing.  They are great books for trying to puzzle out the secrets and mysteries on your own before it’s officially revealed, and the whole point of the hint-wink-nudgey writing style is to encourage you to do so.  I can highly recommend this series for Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie fans – they’re filled with direct references to both – BUT just know that the violence is much more grisly and gory than any of the old golden age detective stories ever depicted it; these are not “clean” murders, and poor Ernest gets mangled in some horrific new way in each entry so far.

Watching

Tokyo Mew Mew – YO THIS RUUUUUUULES!!!!  Would you believe that I call myself a magical girl fan, despite that I’ve NEVER watched this before?  Remedying these gaps is exactly the point of this habit…  Up until I actually started watching, I thought that all of the girls were cats.  What do you mean they have mutated genes from endangered animals?!?  Now, I know that there is a pretty recent ‘Tokyo Mew Mew New’ that I could have watched instead, but I deliberately wanted to go back in time and see the old English dub by 4Kids, where its title is actually “Mew Mew Power”.  Sure, the modern version or an authentic subbed version without all of 4Kids’ editing and cuts would be “better”… but I’m not here for “better”. 😄  I frickin’ love the catchy “Mew Mew power IN YOUR FACE!” slogan with the super-obviously edited-in-post hip hop-style backup jingle.  Absolutely nothing is “better” than that. lmao. Alas, this is in the same situation as Corrector Yui and Saint Tail, where only about half of the episodes were dubbed into English and if I want to see the conclusion, I have to carve out time to watch the subs (can’t multitask when you gotta read 😔).  But at least once I move onto the back half, I’ll be able to hear the unedited music and see what the full transformations look like! 👍

Sailor Moon Super S – Things are Fully Weird in this season, which I’ve always heard is because Kunihiko Ikuhara had a lot of creative control at this point in production (can anyone confirm?).  Like yeah the monster-of-the-week designs have always been Out There, but now they are REALLY, REALLY Out There.  Even so, this is another season that I like a lot, because the shenanigans that the Amazon Trio get up to while in civilian disguises are super fun and it reminds me of Jedeite & Co. from the first season.  But more than anything else………… the pretty unicorn boy is one of my all-time favorite characters!!! 🦄  I know it’ll be a while before we see him in pretty boy form but I can wait!!!
