Okay, it’s my turn to take a whack at one of these, and for my first one, I chose to do one of my favorite childhood cartoons, Tiny Toon Adventures. Rather than doing an episode that is regularly regarded as great by fans, like Animaniacs! or Sepulveda Boulevard, I decided to do the rarely spoken of specials that aired after the series had ended it’s normal run; Tiny Toon Adventures Spring Break Special and Night Ghoulery. First off, both of…
If you know me, you know that I love the Looney Tunes. And why not? The cartoons from the late 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s, as well as some early 60’s ones, were constantly hilarious and have a lot of replay value., which has helped them survive the test of time for generations. My grandparents liked them, my parents liked them, and while my sister wasn’t as big of a fan, I definitely grew to like them while watching these old…
And no, I don’t mean this: Goddamn I love Excel Saga. I mean this: Goddamn I hate Soulja Boy. That’s right, Soulja Boy is back up in it (OH!), and this time he’s released not one, but two singles that rival his collaboration with Justin Bieber as worst song of the 21st century. And they’ve got to be pretty fucking bad to do that. Both of these songs just happen to be about anime. Now, before I begin my tirade,…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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….
