Anime Blogging, Cartoon Discussion, And The Need For Approachability

I want to take the Animation Revelation blog in a new direction. Every day I grow a little older, and every day I get a little more tired of the whole “angry, negative reviewer” shtick that infests the internet like chlamydia. Ever since the Angry Nintendo Nerd first talked about taking a shit on a video game cartridge (and probably before, as well), people using rage and hatred for comedy effect have become a dime a dozen, with a new…

Crowds-Sourcing V: Load Runner

Crowds-Sourcing V: Load Runner

HEY KIDS! Its time once again for Crowds-Sourcing, where Gatchaman Crowds does everything in its power to spit on its own legacy! Last time, the cast spent the entire episode moping around and getting their asses kicked. This week… more moping!…yay? We start at the Gatchaman Dorm where Hajime has finally reached the point where none of this Gatchaman stuff is making sense to her anymore. She wants to actually save people in real life but Paiman’s all “Screw you…

3 Reasons – Bodacious Space Pirates

“Work for? I don’t work for anyone, I’m just having fun!” – The Doctor, Nightmare of Eden (1979) Well, hello there. I’m The Eclectic Dude, a guy from the AR forums and have been an anime blogger for the past 2 years, well 2 years ago this month. I have taken a look at various anime, be it OVA, movie or full TV series, both good, bad and just plain bizarre-what-is-this-I-don’t-even. In celebration of 2 years of being in the…

Crowds-Sourcing IV: Shit Gets Real

Crowds-Sourcing IV: Shit Gets Real

Gatchaman Crowds ends its first four episode chunk with actual plot and a surprisingly large amount of nihilism. After nothing happened last week, a shit-ton happened this time. The Crowds successfully rescue the skytram but since Rui activated their amnesia effect, everybody thinks Galax and emergency personal did it. Meanwhile, Jo gets his ass royally handed to him by Berg Katze who has his own NOTE and the ability to vanish into thin-air. The news that Katze is back in…

Crowds-Sourcing III: Bad Milk Rising

Welcome back to Crowds-Sourcing, where Gatchaman Crowds tries everything in its power to rape my childhood harder than George Lucas! Last time, nothing happened… then they caught a MESS cube. Then some girl with pink hair turned out to be Recon from Fairy Dance… wait what? Well surprise, surprise! Hajime’s MESS idea actually worked!…much to the annoyance of Pai-zano who’d rather blow up Rubics Cube monsters instead of getting all touchy feely with them. With the main threat defeated…sorta, and…

An Episode-By-Episode Look At… Tron: Uprising, Part 2

An Episode-By-Episode Look At… Tron: Uprising, Part 2

“Blackout” In a spin-off series of any kind, you usually have a rich bit of source material from the original series, movie, book, or whatever the show is based from to work with. With something like Tron, though, there are only 2 films to go on. In some cases that could be enough to already have a well-established Universe and set of characters to work with. Without actually meaning to insult either of the Tron films, though (especially considering that…

Crowds-Sourcing: Gatchaman Vs. Dalek Lord

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…

Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox – The Best Animated Comedy In Years

Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox – The Best Animated Comedy In Years

OBLIGATORY SPOILER WARNING (MAJOR SPOILERS INCOMING (JUST SAYIN’)) Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is a spot-on parody of everything stupid about the DC Universe. From the Liefeld-esque character design of Aquaman to the scene in which Batman’s mom becomes The Joker, this movie is truly a hoot ‘n hollerin’ laugh-a-minute extravaganza. Not since Kick-Ass has a superhero film been so uproariously funny. Our story begins with the Justice League ripping explosive devices off of people because a bad guy named…

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

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…
