Soul Mates! - The Art and Design of Gacha Game Characters!

S2E9B P.A.G., S.A.V., H.M.S.

In this episode, the finale of I.S.Y.S.W.A.S.F.H.S.S. (I scream, you scream, we all scream for Hell Screen summer) we zoom in on the second half of Ryoshu's art, allowing our concepts to be fully incinerated in an endless tragic dance of blur filters and blue and pink light (H.P.) by B.O.T.H.O.S.R. (Blade of the House of Spiders Ryoshu) and adopt the following question: Which Ryoshu, in the end, is the most mommy? Which one is the coveted T.F.M.?

S2E9A I.S.Y.S.W.A.S.F.H.S.

In this episode, the midpoint of our titular I.S.Y.S.W.A.S.F.H.S.S. (I scream, you scream, we all scream for Hell Screen summer) we zoom in on the expressionist of excrutiation, the modernist of mauling, the romantacist of reaping, the, uhm, art deco-ist of agony, so on and so forth, Ryoshu (or at least, look at the first half of her art, with the rest coming next episode) who, while she might not always look it, is truly a M.A.H. (mommy at heart) prompting us to ask a childish question: Take a 5 minute break? You mean the break that makes you old?

BONUS 12 Akutagawa's Hell Screen Incandescent Reading To Study/Paint To

Ryūnosuke Akutagawa (1892-1927), from the age of 22 to his death at 35, wrote over 150 short stories. He is today widely considered the "father of the Japanese short story," and many of his works focus on historical and mythological tales presented through a modern psychological lens. His stories enjoy popularity even now, over a century after they were written, as some of the greatest works of Japanese literature: stories like Rashōmon, The Spider's Thread, In A Bamboo Grove, and Hell Screen. Soul Mates! is proud to present a reading of Hell Screen, one of Akutagawa's early masterpieces. Based on a tale from the Uji Shūi Monogatari, Hell Screen follows a painter tasked to create a painting of the Buddhist hells, who finds himself unable to paint the perfect image until he sees the flames for himself.

S1E35 ...2!

In this episode, featuring serious lesbian art analysis (and something else, too!) we zoom in on the slitheringly sensual short-sighted sapphic seductive serpent goddessss Li Yang, who really does need to zoom in because she really, really needs glasses, and ask a question of former United States of America president Barack Obama: Hello sir, could you help me figure out which parts of the woman we should talk about? Like, you know, the outfit, and the posing, and facial expression, and the snake, and...?

S1E34 Wholesome For Cube

In this episode, with ash returning fresh out of hell, we zoom in on the blood-coughing bird-loving braniac Sora Ichinose (whose name I mispronounce every time because you live in my world) who keeps accquaintance with some of the best drippy ghosts you've ever met, and ask a gemoetric question: Wait, how do you solve this dang puzzle cube again? You make the white cross, then you pair the edges - no, then you do the first layer, then how do you...
