Crowds-Sourcing: Gatchaman Vs. Dalek Lord

July 20, 2013 Lord Dalek

Yeah I’m still watching this dreck. Want my thoughts on Episode 1? Go read the Clusterfuck. So Hajime’s first battle goes kinda weird as she ends up sparing the MESS-Bus. This royally pisses off Sugane (as if he wasn’t annoyed by her enough already). However there’s no time for that now, we’ve gotta move into the Gatchaman dorm! Hajime’s bizarre antics continue to wear down on Sugane and fellow roommate Paiman as its becoming clear she’s more interested in using…

An Episode-By-Episode Look At… Tron: Uprising

July 5, 2013 Dr. Ensatsu-ken

Read the first article here! “The Renegade, Part 1” So, we continue our adventures with Beck in the official beginning of the series, which is an appropriately-sized two-parter. This first-part of the episode sets up two plot-points. One involves Beck getting “accidentally” captured along with a group of prisoners, and he is forced to participate in games within the coliseum that was foreshadowed in the previous episode. The other plot involves Zed, one of the supporting cast, trying to work…

Flowers Of Awesome: A Rebuttal

June 30, 2013 Timothy Bourbon Belmonte III, Esq.

Clearly these poseurs like Plasmatic Vasquez who’ve already complained about the wonderful Japanimation series that bares the name of the most beautiful poem known to man are insane cock-knockers who clearly are only into generic pablum like Fate/Zorro and Maduka Maguca. It is therefore up to moi to settle this matter in an appropriate manner. Flowers of Evil is the greatest Japanimation since Momotoro’s Divine Sea Warriors, and only I can share with you how never has there been a…

Aku No Hana – An Autopsy

June 30, 2013 Marquis

Always the Demon fidgets here beside me — Destruction. Roy Campbell, Poems of Baudelaire (New York: Pantheon Books, 1952) Aku No Hana—adapted from Shūzō Oshimi’s manga by Hiroshi Nagahama of Mushishi fame—proved to be ambitious, to say the least. Beyond all the controversies over questionable designs throughout the show, the series can be peeled back to reveal a story about a boy forced into a pact with the devil and not knowing what else to do. The mentality of a…

Attack on Titan Musings: Eren’s Shonen Rage

June 15, 2013 DaemonCorps

Ten episodes and a shocking revelation later, I think it’s about time we do some Attack on Titan dissecting. Anime protagonists in general come off as being constantly set at an intensity of 11, but Eren Jaeger takes the cake when it comes to such. Without having even seen a Titan before the attack on his hometown (at least to our knowledge), a young Eren is already roaming the streets telling off army officials about how they better not take…

You Can’t Spell Toonami Without Moot

June 11, 2013 Lord Dalek

Before I begin, let me allow this one matter to be perfectly clear… Yes, I am a hater. I spit on your holy territory. I dance the dance of Jazz singers on your loved ones’ graves. You may now proceed to ignore the rest of this article and post some petty, misspelled, improperly punctuated drivel in the comments if you wish under the tl;dr clause. However, for the benefit of those who agree with me about the current mess of…

Pursuit of Meaningful Drama

June 8, 2013 Marquis

As today’s market of dystopic fantasies and misunderstood loners can tell you, gritty storytelling sells. Darkness has been selling since before Nietzsche could count to ten. You’d be struggling to find a story without a bad case of dead moms, totalitarian government, murder, or something about rape in modern drama. But instead of adding realism, too many attempts at proving a tale to be mature only elicit disbelief and scorn towards the work. Make something too dark, and the whole…

3 Reasons: The Weekenders

June 4, 2013 Avaitor

Hey guys! Remember when I used to update on a more frequent basis? Well, it’s not that I don’t care (I don’t), but hey, that’s life! Here’s an attempt to try a new series out- plagiarizing taking inspiration from Criterion’s great Three Reasons series of videos and articles, in which they pick 3 particular reasons that you need to check out their most recent releases or rereleases, we’re going to try to do the same for some of our favorite animated works….

SheZow: Liberal Smut

June 1, 2013 ThePompousPorpoise

As of a few weeks ago, my traditional household has encountered the radical views of Shezow. After watching a few episodes with a Jesus statue in my tight, Caucasian hands, I was absolutely offended. How could this cartoon promote such a disturbing lifestyle to children? Our faithful Congress has done such strident actions to keep the filth away from television, only to allow this pile of Obama-sanctioned excrement to air? There’s nothing more disgusting—or more offensive to Christian viewpoints—than discovering…

The Avengers: Some Assembly Required

May 21, 2013 Foggle

Last year, Marvel fans were greeted with the worst April Fools’ Day joke of all time: the abysmal Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon, which – despite involvement from writer Brian Michael Bendis – has absolutely nothing to do with the excellent comic book series of the same name. While many fans of the previous (and much better) series, Spectacular Spider-Man, were sore about Ultimate‘s mere existence, the truth is that SSM actually ended because of licensing issues between Marvel and Sony –…
