Holy shit, Reno and Elena!
What, hasn't anybody ever played Final Fantasy VII?
Back to the review: Eightsquare composed a cartoon about addiction and inner turmoil devolving into psychosis. And it's colorful.
Esther loves a good chocolate bar, but remember that cacao products contain caffeine, a stimulant and diuretic that humanity happens to utterly rely upon, being completely fucking addicted to everything nowadays. The Straight-Edge types have gone unheard long enough, because the crisis of conscience that Esther's co-worker rouses within her ought to be a wake-up call. A silly wake-up call, but a wake-up call.
Kudos to Eightsquare's hopes of launching a series with "Fuzzy Toilet Seat", a phrase with its own tongue-in-cheek imagery (although let's be frank: isn't it nice to sit on something that isn't a conductor of cold temperature every once in a while?), because the production values here don't disappoint. It's also one of the goofiest things I've seen in a while, and it put a smile on my face. It is a comic send-up of everyone's battle against an addiction, dependency, or vice. It can drive one crazy, which is why buddy system-based twelve-step programs remain popular even today. Though I could advise "progress, not perfection" to our feisty little heroine, it would appear that Esther has truly gone off the deep end.
All I can say is I'm glad to have switched to decaf years ago and stayed there. "Fuzzy Toilet Seat" is a worthy front page entry, though the voice-overs should not be so muffled. That will improve in future installments. I hope.
