Don’t Knock It Until You’ve Tried It, Princess. (Fury)

Don’t Knock It Until You’ve Tried It, Princess. (Fury)

A long wait for a horrible episodes, dears. After dealing with monkeys and Greek mythology, Justice League now believes that feminism can be handled correctly. Of course, the show has been able to deal with female characters without demonizing them. And after all, Superman’s been more of a punching bag on the show than Wonder Woman or Hawkgirl ever are. So the episode can’t be that bad, right? With a male production staff, and a female writer not to been…

First Impressions Are Key: Batman: The Animated Series- “On Leather Wings”

First Impressions Are Key: Batman: The Animated Series- “On Leather Wings”

This is the first in a new series of articles that I’m planning on tackling. How I’ll handle other pilots/premiere episodes will likely vary as I move on from series to series, but as for now, I hope you enjoy this look back on the B:TAS debut. Let’s talk about Batman: TAS. According to us, it’s the second greatest animated series of all time, and if you like to be technical and not consider something theatrical like the Looney Tunes…

Young Justice: Irritation

Young Justice: Irritation

So I’ve been watching Young Justice ever since its premiere, mostly due to my love of DC and Greg Weisman. However, the start of the recent season has found me complaining more than appreciating the series. Let’s see why. I. The New Batch – Because of five years passing by between seasons, it was natural that the cast would be affected. However, it was much more than expected by the series unleashing more than half a dozen new main characters…

Haganai 04 – Underclassmen Don’t Give Head

Haganai 04 – Underclassmen Don’t Give Head

A girl with a pair of glasses sneaks into a science room while greeting jellyfish. Um, yeah.  Onto a completely different scene, Kodaka walks by, catching the fear of one-dimensional school girls. I can understand bad first impressions, but it gets ridiculous after the first few times. Maybe their houses got burned down by blonde people or something, I don’t know. He enters the club room to find a miniature nun, which Yozora photographs to make him look like a…

Hit Me With Your Best Shot: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Hit Me With Your Best Shot: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Still wishing that we could do more posts for The Film Experience‘s Hit Me With Your Best Shot series, I have to take whatever chance I can to tackle an animated work as it arrives to be analyzed. After doing Beauty and the Beast last year, once I saw that they were doing Disney’s landmark Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, I knew I had to do it as well. What can you say about a film that you’ve seen…

So grab your popcorn and your Bible, ‘cuz it’s time to get downright sacrilegious in this motherfucker! Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.

A Twist In Fate: The Greatest Story Ever Told

A Twist In Fate: The Greatest Story Ever Told

As a budding writer, I’d say I’m a man who knows his craft. Or, at least, I thought I knew. That all changed a few hours ago. What you are about to witness is the single most amazing piece of literary fiction ever conceived. Okay, not really; it’s a My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfiction. For those of you who’ve been living under a rock for the past year, MLP: FiM is a cartoon comedy about candy-colored ponies singing…

Haganai 3 There Is No Felching at the Swimming Pool

Haganai 3 There Is No Felching at the Swimming Pool

Kodaka and Yozora find Sena still obsessed with visual novels, with her addiction devolving to eroges. FUNImation has also taken its time to subtitle it, so the hearing-impaired are allowed to read about a girl coming inside her womb. Yeah, that’ll satisfy everyone not named Jack Shaftoe. They get into another bitch fight over about the sense in playing an H-game at a Catholic School instead of trying to accomplish their mission from two episodes. Yozora proceeds to use several…

Haganai 02 There’s No God In The Anime World

Haganai 02 There’s No God In The Anime World

Kodaka walks in to find Sena waiting on the table like a stalker in heat. She then talks about how calling her by her last name would conflict with classist issues or some shit. But then, Yozora pops in and starts the club by suggesting that the y find friends by playing video games. Yeah, gaming is obviously the prevailing key to an active social life. Yozora pulls out a non-copyright-infringed PSP and uses the almighty might of the MMORPG…

Ludovico Trials – Ren & Stimpy: End Of The Road (Final)

Ludovico Trials – Ren & Stimpy: End Of The Road (Final)

So here we reach the end of our journey.   I apologize for the length of time between this installment and the last but you see, if you have never seen this program you wouldn’t understand. As you can see I am no longer Desensitized, but merely the Spark Of Spirit- you may call me Spark, Sparky, SOS, or ‘kind Spirit’ (Yes, Dickens-esque!) for short). I am no longer the person you once knew. I have since cleansed my soul…
