What Are You Watching?

Tenchi had comedy, romance, action, drama, and a very unique idea (for the time), which the genre it spawned, and recent sequels, frequently do not.

I finished watching the "Keep an Eye on the Beauty Contest" and then Detective Garmand or whatever the hell his name was. The latter episode had one of the funniest endings.

Watched some Captain Tylor with a friend. Still hilarious after all these years.

I'm 8 episodes into Maison Ikkoku so far, and I like it. It definitely reminds me of the humor from Inuyasha and the little bit of Ranma that I saw, but easily less obnoxious than the former. I'm pretty happy to go along with this.

Caught the Catch the Phony Lupin episode today. This marks the very first time Lupin worked alone for an entire episode. Which I'm pretty sure also means the first episode with no Jigen.

Caught the 21st and 22nd episode of Lupin The Third today. Just one more episode to go, if I remember correctly.

After this, I'll like start on daredevil Season 1 in preparation for Season 2's release this Friday. I haven't watched the show since the first time I've seen it and it should be great to keep a fresh memory of it going into the new episodes.

I watched The Boy and the Beast back when it opened for a wide theatrical release. I initially didn't post about it because I was saving my thoughts on it for a blog entry looking at a retrospective of Mamoru Hosoda's work, leading up to my review of this film. Since it doesn't look like that'll pan out for quite some time, I'll just say for now that I pretty much got what I expected, and I loved the movie. It contains many of Hosoda's ususal themes of family and love, albeit specifically focusing on the father-son-like relationship between Kumatetsu and Kyuuta. The animation was also gorgeous, as expected, and just like Wolf Children this movie really does give you the feels by the end.

Overall, is it Hosoda's best film? Personally, I say that honor still goes to Summer Wars, but it's definitely on the same level of quality as that film, Wolf Children, and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.

Extremely disappointed it has nothing to do with Kuro-kun.

Don't worry. It's the same plot except without the graphic rape scenes.

I just finished lupin the third part 1.  A lot of average episodes but I love Lupin and I still got to like all of the characters more than I usually do. My favorite episodes are Farewell My Beloved Witch, One Chance To Breakout, The Coming of Goemon the Thirteenth, A Wolf Calls a Wolf, A Killer Sings The Blues, Rainy Afternoons are Bad, Beware The Time Machine, Let's Catch Lupin and Go to Europe and Rescue the Tomboy.

Other notes, I hate Fujiko's haircut midway through the series. She looks so stupid. I love this shows soundtrack. I hope its on youtube so I can favorite a lot of it. Oh and I like how Zenigata referenced the two times he caught Lupin and how he cried

Spoiler

when he thought Lupin had blown himself up in the finale

I started on Lupin The Third Part 2 with the first episode today. I haven't seen this one in a long time and never dubbed so it was a treat. Also, it was Scorpion from the very first episode. I was wondering since Part 1. He apparently died the way way Lupin hurt him in his first appearance. lol Also, 5 years?Damn,forgot about that part.
