Valvreck The Fornicator Chapter 22 – “Lets save the world you jerk!”

Valvreck The Fornicator Chapter 22 – “Lets save the world you jerk!”

Last week’s episode of Valvrave was the Valvrave for people who hate Valvrave as hundreds of vapid teens were mowed down by underpaid government bureaucrats armed with submachine guns. It was disgusting, it was insipid, it was the most entertaining 24 minutes this morose lumbering trainwreck has yet produced. For my part, I can say that me and my colleagues in the Thaumatroop were quite entertained by the bloodbath, however judging from some random tweet I got after this week’s…

En el Kill la Kill, Capítulo 11: Sciss Privilege

En el Kill la Kill, Capítulo 11: Sciss Privilege

We are almost a few episodes away before mid-series, and there’s already a huge reveal involving the parasol girl, Harime. Harime looks like she comes out of a completely different show, which amplifies how disturbing her entrance is. She just appears out of nowhere, makes an ass out of Sanageyama, and reveals herself to be the real instigator to Ryuko’s quest. Normally, that would be horribly stupid and something only a hack writer could do. But here, it establishes that…

Story Arc Online – “Hunter X Hunter” York New City Part III: Phantom Rogue’s Gallery

Story Arc Online – “Hunter X Hunter” York New City Part III: Phantom Rogue’s Gallery

So, what role do the villains have to play in all of this? Villains, as you will find out, is a rather broad and vague term in the world of Hunter X Hunter. In this case, though, the arc chooses to focus on the Phantom Troupe as the primary antagonists. These are the so-called ruthless bastards that have been behind seemingly hundreds of crimes, including the massacre of the Kurata clan and the theft of their scarlet eyes. They are…

Story Arc Online – “Hunter X Hunter” York New City Part II: Kurapika and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

So on one side of the coin, we have Kurapika, who is basically the main character of this particular story arc. In that case, what exactly is his character arc? Well, at the start of the series we learned that he was a man out for blood on those who had wronged him. Aside from that, he was a pretty calm-natured dude. He was thoroughly stubborn in his viewpoints and rather naïve at times (not as much as Gon, of…

Story Arc Online – “Hunter X Hunter” York New City Part I: Introduction

Story Arc Online – “Hunter X Hunter” York New City Part I: Introduction

For those of you just tuning in… The most peculiar thing about Hunter X Hunter is that it’s a series that is consistently….inconsistent, in regard to its tone and narrative. While I like the idea of having varying different styles of story-telling coming into play to keep things fresh, it is not without it’s flaws. However, what it does allow for is to give Togashi a bit of a clean-slate to work with-in each new story-arc, so by the time…

Valvreck The Fornciator Chapter 21 – Tosukite Asuka

Valvreck The Fornciator Chapter 21 – Tosukite Asuka

There were two Valvraves previously. One the batshit stupid waste of time that baffled and infuriated me last spring. The other was the borderline ok, mostly mediocre show the series had turned into in season 2 this fall. When things stood out they were either decent or downright horrifying. Nothing so far has made me go “WOW SHIT FANTASTIC!” Nothing… until episode 21. HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOY! So yeah that douchenozzle ARUS president? Well now that he’s got footage of Saki getting…

En el Kill la Kill, Capítulo 10: Clickety-Clack

En el Kill la Kill, Capítulo 10: Clickety-Clack

So this episode gives us two fights, with Ryuko going at it against Inumuta and Jakuzure. Inumuta, in particular, was a character we knew the least about. The rest of the Elite Four have their personalities established right off the bat, but Inumuta remained an enigma. He still is after this episode; with the only sure thing we know is that he has a damning interest for information. He reminds of Colress from Pokemon, due to how he only allies…

Valvreck The Fornicator Chapter 20 – Videodrone

Sorry about the delay on this week’s writeup. There was this little thing called “Thanksgiving” getting in the way. That said, there was hardly anything to talk about this week, which is a surprise since we’re entering the final stretch. After successfully disabling the pink space sub from three weeks ago, the kids are finally back home from their little adventure on Earth! …albeit minus Marie, who died ya know (can’t stop abusing that MST3k joke, I’m sorry), and Saki……

End el En el Kill la Kill

End el En el Kill la Kill

I’ve spent many hours this week trying to figure out what to write about episode 9, but all I can think to do is regurgitate the same heavy praise and mild criticism you’ve seen me spout before all over again. At this point, I’ve said my piece on Kill la Kill, and unless it turns into a completely different show at some point (entirely possible knowing Trigger), my blogs are only going to get even more redundant, mundane, and boring….
