Before I even had the chance to, Sam immediately points out the problem with the scenes in this episode... both of them.The second problem Sam mentioned was elaborated on in the previous episode's post. In the scene with Terra and Braig, Sam talked about how this game seems to need to explain every...

This episode contains the second-most annoying scene in Kingdom Hearts.I spoke earlier about how Birth By Sleep has an almost pathological obsession with "explaining" away all the plot conveniences in the first game. The problem is that in doing so is that not only did we not need those...

Terra is an idiot. You will accept this is move on.As I said in the episode, a lot of the problems I have with these Disney world stories aren't really the fault of Nomura or of Kingdom Hearts. They are a by-product of some combination of the following:The original Grimm Brothers' source...

Now what were those magic words to get this episode out? Hmmm....Oh yes, "Sam, please post the video!"If there's one thing that Birth By Sleep does a lot better than other games is link the storylines of the individual Disney worlds back into the main plot thread.Even if something as small as Ven,...

Sam and Brandon are finally at the grand finale of 358 Days / 2. Roxas and Xion face existential crises while completing more missions.Days provides some interesting insight into the mindset of Roxas and those most directly connected to him. That said, in terms of the overall plotline, not much of...

Brandon and Sam get to finally talk about the plot important details. Roxas completes more missions.While it is irritating how often the same lines are repeated over and over in these scenes almost verbatim, this is by far some of the most depth we get our of the characters in Kingdom Hearts. I...

Sam and Brandon get close to the end of the 358 Days / 2 portion of the Kingdom Hearts Primer. Meanwhile, Roxas, Axel, and Xion completed more missions.We're getting there. Just one more episode left before we can move on the next game in the Primers.Something I noticed as I re-watched these...

While Axel, Roxas, and Xion stood at the clock tower for the fifty-thousandth time, Sam and Brandon continued the Kingdom Hearts Primer.While I will continue to complain about the nonsense that occurs in Days's main plot, there is something to be said for how strong the character interactions...
