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

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…

Flowers Of Awesome: A Rebuttal

Flowers Of Awesome: A Rebuttal

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

Aku No Hana – An Autopsy

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…

Aku no Hana

Aku no Hana

Aku no Hana has the worst pacing of any anime – nay, any TV show – I’ve ever seen. It’s not a terrible series by any means, but watching it is akin to staring at the grass as it grows. I was not a fan of the characters or the rotoscoped animation (which, while occasionally extremely stupid looking, is not bad enough to be worth getting worked up over), but I found the plot interesting and was occasionally taken in…

Equestria Girls: A Cash Grab with Merit?

Equestria Girls: A Cash Grab with Merit?

I don’t think I speak just for myself when I say that a lot of people in the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fan community were a bit skeptical of Equestria Girls. Despite what haters and websites such as Cracked were spewing, there were very few of us that were absolutely ecstatic to see our favourite characters ditch their equine forms for human ones. Every single brony saw Equestria Girls as it was: a cash grab, pure and simple….

Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated

Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated

Ah, good old Scooby Doo. Is there anyone among us who isn’t at least passingly familiar with one of the shows featuring the talking mutt and those meddling kids who made up his posse? Traveling in the aptly-named mystery-machine, solving crimes involving some sort of bogeyman, which would invariably turn out to be Old Man Caruthers (or some other seemingly benevolent older man), who had chosen to disguise himself in order to propagate some villainous scheme. Truth be told, I…

Attack on Titan Musings: Eren’s Shonen Rage

Attack on Titan Musings: Eren’s Shonen Rage

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

You Can’t Spell Toonami Without Moot

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…

3 Reasons: The Weekenders

3 Reasons: The Weekenders

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….
