Batman: (I Bet He’s Compensating For Something) Under The Red Hood [Dr. Insomniac]

Batman: (I Bet He’s Compensating For Something) Under The Red Hood [Dr. Insomniac]

First of all, I haven’t read the comic and have absolutely no plans to do so whatsoever. I couldn’t give two shits about Jason Todd. And frankly, I haven’t particularly liked a DC Animated Movie since The New Frontier. So even before I start the film, my expectations for this are pretty much six feet under. A mysterious vigilante by the name of Red Hood goes into the streets of Gotham to stick a middle finger up the ass of…

K-On! or “Lucky Star with a new hat!” [Desensitized]

K-On! or “Lucky Star with a new hat!” [Desensitized]

Oh boy, this is going to take a while. I’m going to keep this family friendly, because I’m told by several sources that this is a family friendly show, and being that this is a family friendly site (right, Foggle?), I feel it’s only right to review it from that angle. K-On! is a show about the “Light” Music Club at some high school in Japan. The four members sit around and eat snacks while talking about nothing (while also…

Something Godawful This Way Comes: A Review Of Ookami Kakushi [Foggle]

Something Godawful This Way Comes: A Review Of Ookami Kakushi [Foggle]

Yes, this series was finished months ago. Yes, no one heard about it or cared enough to watch it. Yes, I’m going to post a review for it. Have you ever been having sex and as you were nearing orgasm an obese hobo thrust himself into the room and ejaculated all over your face? No? Well, neither have I. But that theoretical semen… that semen would be Ookami Kakushi. This series not only proves that Ryukishi07 can rehash Higurashi, it…

Disney Afternoon: 20 Years of the Mouse’s Finest: The End [Avaitor]

Disney Afternoon: 20 Years of the Mouse’s Finest: The End [Avaitor]

So what have we learned, kids? Disney is awesome and have made some great stuff in the 80 + years of the studio’s existence, and their old syndication block is up there with some of their best moments. I can watch a show like DuckTales again and still catch bits to laugh at, as well as subtlety’s I haven’t even considered. I can put on Darkwing Duck and think that there aren’t that many cartoons with jokes as varied as…

Disney Afternoon: 20 Years of the Mouse’s Finest: Quack Pack [Avaitor]

Ho boy. As great as the Disney Afternoon was when the block was started, things went south in the span of a few years for Disney‘s television animation department. Gone were the days of Gummi Bears, and on went mediocre shows like the Mighty Ducks, a tude-filled action show featuring a team full of hockey-playing ducks who fight crime, that aired on ABC’s One Saturday Morning block as well on the block(which I personally won’t be going through), and Quack…

Disney Afternoon: 20 Years of the Mouse’s Finest: Tim & Pumbaa [Avaitor]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dumGj-qDlIs Or if you’d rather Oh, this song. It is hard to ignore the popularity of this song, especially during the mid-90’s when Lion King mania was huge. “Hakuna Matata” is one of the most popular songs of the past twenty years just as The Lion King is one of the most popular movie in the past 20 years, so continuing to market the film for years after it‘s arrival seemed like a no brainer. As much as audiences gravitated…

Disney Afternoon: 20 Years of the Mouse’s Finest: Aladdin [Avaitor]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljeP0jrpF-w I mentioned this on the blog once, but Aladdin is one of my very favorite Disney movies. The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast are fine movies, I liked them as a kid too, but I’m not a girl, so there wasn’t as much to attract me to their bandwagons, not to mention that the former came out about a year before I was born and I was barely over a year old when the latter came out….

Disney Afternoon: 20 Years of the Mouse’s Finest: Gargoyles [Avaitor]

Has there ever been something that you enjoy so very much but can’t necessarily put into words why you like it so much? Even if many agree with you, there’s just something about it that you can’t touch yourself. Gargoyles is that for me. I’ve seen most of the original 65 episodes multiple times and never tire of it, but for some reason, I just can’t put into my own words how much this series means to me. As you…

Disney Afternoon: 20 Years of the Mouse’s Finest: Bonkers [Avaitor]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbqFGapihP0 Contrary to popular belief, Bonkers was not originally planned as a TV series for Roger Rabbit that was changed at the last minute due to complications. Rather, Bonkers was developed as a fully original cop drama spoof set in Toontown, based on the success of noir-esq Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Taking Chip ‘N Dale Rescue Rangers off of the block, Bonkers premiered on September 3, 1993, during it’s third season, and lasted on the block until it’s sixth season…

Disney Afternoon: 20 Years of the Mouse’s Finest: Goof Troop [Avaitor]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqE74c54Nfc I think it’s safe to assume that DuckTales was the king of the Disney Afternoon block. Having 100 episodes and being Disney’s first big syndicated hit, it’s not hard to understand why it would be. When the show’s time on the block was coming to an end in 1992, it wouldn’t be surprising that the heads at Disney figured that they needed a big show to follow up on it(it’s also worth noting that DuckTales would return to the…
