[Fish Sandwich]

Up to episode 28 of Gingaman now.

So wasn't Budo supposed to be the best general or something? Because, as cool as his last episode may be, he spent 90% of his time literally sitting on his butt. All the incompetence of Sanbash with none of the pizazz. And now the new monsters are using crazy black magic(!) in their weekly plans, making them way more interesting the than the guy whose greatest legacy is arguably that time he went around blowing up tomatoes.

Although that last episode DID involve him and his two remaining goons getting the attention of the heroes by randomly slaughtering some people. Or at least, I never saw them get up, and one of those guys had this happen to him:



Ouch. It's okay though. The lack of blood makes this scene totally kid-friendly. Honest!

Anyway, the show's still pretty cool. Bull Black is the man and (spoilers I'm pretty sure everyone knows but still) the way he goes out is great. I also really liked the episode following cementing Ryouma's status on the team, even if it's a little undercut by them not waiting an extra episode to make Hyuuga the new Bull Black. The rest of the gang even makes him a themed costume well before he takes up the sword, or have any reason to believe he at any point will. Still, it was an enjoyable bunch of episodes.
