{Spoiler}LPS Red Lights I watched over a year ago, so I don't remember it as well. The camera work, audio, and acting in this series were probably some of the best I've seen from an LPS series. There's a little awkwardness that kinda reminds me of a movie like Funny Pages or Daddy LongLegs. It is probably one of the reasons I got used to the LPS video style. In a sense, the toys are very flat and can only express one emotion, actually the toys' faces are a little lifeless. This series really does bring this to life, and I think they thought very deeply about which LPS would be which character and got the most personality out of that decision as possible. I think the pacing was pretty alright during the first half, but got a lot more rushed towards the end. I know the action flared up, but some of the editing cuts are a little odd. For some reason I did not remember Velvet being the main character. I remember being on the edge of my seat when watching it.

The Orphan I watched pretty recently. I am a little bit of a sucker for a plot like this. A group of children banding together to fight an evil force in their lives...
I feel like the beginning of the series and the end of the series were extremely different in terms of energy and tone. I thought at the beginning that the main character was being put into some kind of 1700s asylum situation or something like that. I loved the vibes of the first three episodes, and then the cannibalism was introduced. I really wish they had kept the mystery of it for a bit longer. I also could think of many evils that rich people do, but the cannibalism felt like the most out there and shocking thing to pick. Evelyn going and finding a list of body parts in the kitchen felt like a forced plot point and also didn't really make.. sense? That should have been at the restaurant rather than the orphanage. The secret room was very cool and helpful, but it also didn't really make sense given the scenario. Ms. Harrid was entirely careless enough to not know her buildings own floor plan, WITH a whole door to the outside? I enjoyed the threatening dynamic between Ms. Harrid and the Doc, but we never really learned their motivations about being in their positions. I understand that they are the antagonists, but neither of them really had a reason to be there.
I really liked the characters though, and Ashe's sister leaving messages and clues for her was very sweet. Ashe really fit the "edgy but secretly caring" type that me her my favorite. I thought it was really well paced and entertaining.
