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….
Issue #8 or “The End of Equinox!” The Equinox arc is one of the most memorable in the series, starting in an earlier cold open when Batman saved the Question and Gorilla Grodd from being killed by the diabolical villain who was obsessed with equality. This episode is his first full appearance and is one of the most memorable episodes in the series for it. In this issue you will see a knock down drag out war on evil…
Time to hold your breath and count to ten, I guess. At the time of this writing, Nick had recently released four episodes in one day. Ignoring the whole “Does Nickelodeon have any issue with Korra” controversy that’s been making the rounds, this proves to make the blog more challenging to write than usual. One episode allows a central topic to form. Four at once means that it’s hard to write something cohesive without rambling in the middle. In fact,…
Or maybe it’s not even a pun at all – just some basic wordplay. I dunno. Screw it, commence the blog entry! Contrary to the implications of last week’s preview, this episode is actually not about Gamagoori taking driving lessons. In fact, it seems probable that he acquired a license immediately prior to the beginning of this installment. But I think the major thing to focus on with him this week is that he powers up due to the sexual…
Last time, Sunrise recycled itself for the umpteenth time. This week… EXPLOSIONS! We begin with a replay of last week’s cliffhanger featuring L-Elf and Lieselotte where Michael finally confesses his love to his lost amour (well this isn’t going to end well now is it?). The two attempt to flee the palace but are stopped by Q-Vier who challenges L-Elf to a knife fight… or more precisely a “Q-Vier attacks L-Elf with a knife”-fight. Meanwhile, after releasing all the hostages…
Issue #7 or “Bad Storm Rising!” Red Tornado’s arc is a bit of a sub-plot throughout the first season. We first get a taste for his personality in the Christmas episode where he wants to find “Christmas Spirit” like he sees in the movies and ends finding some semblance of inner warmth by episode’s end. It is a cute episode that’s a lot of fun, but is pretty self-explanatory and not that uncommon of a tale. Next we had…
This is easily my favorite episode to date. That’s high praise. You know how almost every American cartoon comedy has that one episode where the characters randomly get rich out of nowhere and it turns them into complete assholes? That’s this week’s Kill la Kill. And it pulls off that concept really well. Not only is this installment funny as hell, it also has a lot of heart, and contains what is quite possibly the finest JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure reference…
Author’s note: Sorry about the wait on this one folks. The episode had not yet been made available when I had time to watch it due to apparent system errors over Daisuki. What’s worse, apparently this weekend’s Magi is getting delayed as well. =( When last we left our heroes, they had discovered a large battleship was being sent to destroy New JIOR once and for all… however that’s not important right now. This week its all about Haruto and…
Nacho Libre was suiting up for his next cage match. It was a dark and stormy cage match. Nacho Libre has nothing to do with this story though, so fuck that guy. Right in his asshole. * * * * * * It was a dark and stormy 30 tatami room. Kirito lay upon one of said 30 tatami, naked, his cock exposed to the webcam upon which he was displaying his body for all the world to see. Over…
Issue #6 or “That Episode with the Elf-thing!” Okay, this is going to be harder issue to tackle, fellow bat-fans. What we have here is a 5th dimension midget elf with the powers to manipulate reality and the demeanor of small spoiled child trying to buddy up with Batman. It is no exaggeration to say that his might be Batman’s biggest challenge yet, as he has never really dealt with a foe he could not hit before now nor…
