Ending of episode 52 in Monster was great.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'm really interested to see how Tenma escapes this prison to save that huge bluh bluh.

[Fossaman]

I just watched episode 11 of Cowboy Bebop.

I'm not sure what that was, but it was awesome.

[ein]

Was that the one with the sentient blob of ancient leftovers?

[Fossaman]

Yes, yes it was.

[ein]

That one and the one with the magic mushrooms are the best.

[ToonyMan]

So started episode 207 after skipping the filler.  If only Oda knew the future and made a long cat joke.  So far, so good anyway.

Also, HD 16:9 ratio!

[Jopax]

Well the Hougyoku was explained a bit, and Orihimes and Sados powers, but it still sounds like an asspull, also Urahara comes to save the day!

[ToonyMan]

Oh lordy, these Davy Jones games are hilarious.  So far CP9 is really good.


Watched some more Davy Back games or whatever they're called.  The quality of the animation has increased greatly, to my delight.  I hope we don't fall into padding, which hasn't happened yet.

Luffy accepted another challenge thing to the split-hair guy!  Why would he do that?!  Argh.  Maybe he wants to take his flag.  Whatever.

I agree, it really seems like the writers are out of ideas.  The "make shinigami into hollows and visa versa" thing was fine the way it was.  If this was intended all along, it should have been foreshadowed a lot better, like somebody saying "uh... these humans who aren't Quincy have some strange powers, where did they come from?"  My impression was Orihime's and Sado's powers came about because Ichigo's high spiritual energy was essentially powering them up or something.

[FuzzyZergling]

Yeah, they kind of half-ass-edly ret-conned that one.

Funny you should say that, the part you're on actually is the padding. The second half of that Foxy business is filler. Foxy filler is best filler, though. Also:

He accepted because games are fun.

[ToonyMan]

Foxy filler is best filler.


That Dream Ocean arc was soooooooooooooooooooooo stupid, argh.

Welp, I've recently watched Avatar: The Last Airbender movie.

And, before I begin, I must clearly state that I am not on that bandwagon of where its popular to hate M. Night gibberish. Hes not my cup of director. Most of his films I'm apathetic toward. However, I do enjoy Unbreakable greatly.

Secondly, this post will probably contain some spoilers to A:TLA book one water/season one. So, read at yer own risk.

Spoiler: A TLA Movie Rant (click to show/hide)

*clears throat*
What the hell M. Night Gibberish! Really? Really? I mean, I was worried and reserved because he never done a story like this before. And how was he really going to compress 8hrs of story into 2hrs (Well, 90 minuets, even worse.)

Overall, I was fine with the change of tone for the live action film. I was hopefully about that. One of my minor complaints of the excellent series, is that I wish it was for an older audience. I thought M. Knight (Yes, I'll be switching back and forth between night and knight.) So yea. I was fine with the change of Soka, and I was reserved with the change to Aang. *coughs* I mean, Ung. As the show for three years apparently mispronounced the names.

M. Night murdered Aang, er Ung. Completely gutted the character. Katara was an embodied narrator. Season One, she did a lot of ass kicking things. Was any of it presented? No? Where was her character development? I don't know?

Heck, on the note of character development where was anyone character development? Not behind the fridge. I checked.

The pacing was so freaking fast. Just vomiting the plot exposition. Bleh. Just constantly spewing the plot, left and right. Constantly telling us the store instead of showing us the story.

The fighting. Bleh. Especially the background fighters. Total bleh.

And almost none of the kid actors could act. Soka couldn't act, and he in three other triple a release movies. The Nothern Watertribe princess could act though. I *think* Zuko could act.

Speaking of Zuko, what a weak sauce scar. Oh, poor Zuku and his barely noticeable scar. Whatever.

Overall D+ C- movie for me, and a D to D- for fans of the series.

I never knew this, but I saw a live action Blood: The Last Vampire movie in Wal-Mart today.

Amazon

From a Producer of Hero and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon comes Blood: The Last Vampire, based on the cult hit anime series.

Bold makes me sad.

But I'm buying it anyway because I'm a sucker for bad movies.

I think the live action Blood: The Last Vampire, is overall a better production. Better fights, and a much better story.
