Writeups range from a paragraph to multiple paragraphs. Nothing too short, but not like novels or anything.

Also, way to go on sticking with this and finishing the project!!

Thank you! :D That's kind of you to say. It was slow going most of the time, I was just too busy with other things. But I always intended to finish!

Ranking topic is up!

Hi!

A few months ago I collected nominations of various series, to be ranked by their visual design. Nominators supplied me with pictures and videos, and I set about my task of ranking everything with writeups. I tried to only rank based on the supplied material.

A total of 74 series were nominated. Most of these were video games, pieces of animation, and comics, though the nom pool also includes card games, board games, short films, concept art, manual art, fan animations, promotional art, Muppets, commercials and ad bumpers, and whatever Cat Activity is supposed to be. There was a lot of varied stuff! I am grateful for every nomination, even the ones I didn't like.

So, I want to pose a question: all of these writeups are done. I could theoretically post all of them today! Obviously I won't do that though; the gradual reveal is part of what makes these topics fun. My question is: how gradual a reveal should this be? If I post three a day, that's 25 days, three and a half weeks. Four a day gives us 18 days. If we want to rush, five a day is 15. What do you think? I'm flexible.

As always, thank you for tuning in and listening to my (sometimes hot) takes. I tried to give every nomination a fair chance. I hope you won't take it personally if I rank your noms low, though I will say that there were only a small handful I can say I actually disliked. This was a great crop!

First writeup(s) coming later, once I get feedback on the number folks want.

Enjoy! :D

I told myself I wasn't going to say anything about my progress until I got to a certain point, but now I have!

I am 59/74 of the way done, roughly 80% of the way there!

I can't give any estimates on time, but hopefully soon! Thank you for your patience. :)

No Children might be my favorite song lyrically. It's just so bleak and uncompromising. I love it. Glad it resonated with you.

yo

Almost forgot to bump!

These are my remaining songs:

2Pac - Changes
Aimee Mann - Wise Up
The Mountain Goats - No Children
The Supremes - Baby Love

I suspect No Children will be your favorite of the four, given your taste in lyrics, but I could them dropping in basically any order.

Close...r! I don't want to give exact numbers since that puts some pressure on me, so I'll just say I'm more than halfway done.

Made some good progress over the past few days!

heeeeeey

Atrocious Raid

Corridors of Time
Labyrinth VI - The Vengeful God in the Dark Ocean Abyss

It's more time consuming than difficult. I'm trying to give decently detailed writeups for everything, which takes time, plus I'm busier than I was when I opened nominations. The actual results topic will go by very fast because I'll have everything typed up already. Rest assured that I am gradually getting it done! :)

Paul McCartney - Long Tailed Winter Bird
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnG_eCu4yBk

Mostly instrumental track, the first off his latest album.

As someone who only participates sparingly in this topic, would it be possible for me to sign up for a week of album nominations? If not, that's completely fine.

Follow-up question: if I can submit album nominations, can they be albums I haven't listened to but would welcome the opportunity to do so?

1. Wanna Be Startin Somethin
2. Thriller
3. P. Y. T. (Pretty Young Thing)
4. Billie Jean
5. Beat It
6. Human Nature
7. The Girl Is Mine
