Arin: Oh hey, what's wrong?
Danny: What do you mean what's wrong?!
Arin: Nothing, we're just playing, uh...
Danny: I-I just realized we're fucking playing P.T. after I thought we were doing Sakura Spirit!

"Imagine you're a fan of the Wu-Tang Clan. You love the Wu-Tang Clan because they provide that nice Gangsta Rap that you love. Then imagine that they released a long awaited album, still under the title Wu-Tang... but instead of rap, they played Folk Music. Here's the kicker though, they're really fucking good at folk music. The people who got into Wu-Tang for the rap won't care how good their folk music is, they'll fucking hate it. But then it gives birth to a new group of fans who enjoy folk music. So now you have this huge split in your fanbase and they fucking hate each other. Then they release a new album with a mix of folk music and rap to try to please everyone, and then you end up with people being a little more satisfied but never fully happy"

...while the writing is powerfully realistic and solidly based in the real world, it’s also epic fantasy. (...)
We have the prince, the son of the king, born in a storm so powerful it shakes the world. His appearance is distinctive and can’t ever be hidden; it’s both his strength and his greatest weakness. He’s raised by the wise queen who understands the wild magic, and taught all of her secrets. He sees the destruction of his father and the fall of the kingdom, and flees into exile, until at last he’s grown into his own powers and can return to challenge the usurper.
He has a brother in arms, too, with never any jealousy between them. They grow up together and fight together and win their victories side by side. And of course he finds and wins his own queen, his favorite among the harem.
