Zeta Gundam 4-7
Oh crap! The titans have all the Mark-IIs in their possession and now what... oh... never mind, the AEUG have them again. But that episode was good for showing Emma Sheen's transition to the AEUG and Kamille's opinions about his father. I like the fact that Kamille isn't just one big ball of autism and angst but also is super into this whole military and Gundam thing. He's shy a lot but really shows his passion when people get in his shit. He at least knows some things about soldiers and the way there are supposed to act. He even designed the Zeta Gundam.... wait what? New Translation movies are really bad at explaining things. Man.... Kamille's dad is a dick. And he's up and stole the Rick Dias. Makes more sense for his death to be due to him escaping the AEUG ship rather then him being the one in a suit getting killed when Kamille's mom is getting killed. So that red haired lady gets sent off to Earth. Okay. Colony 30 reminded me a lot of the Texas colony arc in the original show as people were getting followed into this shitty colony. Although I don't think it takes just a few years for a body to mummify. Nice to know that blonde douche is actually getting some character development. And with the death of that Lieutenant Lady, it really affected him. This beginning arc has been okay so far story wise but this is really the time to establish characters and see them start to grow.

So I finally saw Madoka Rebellion last night, and it was not worth the wait.
Most of it was wonderful, but that last 15-20 minutes were a massive slap in the face. So the good - it's not surprising that this film was Oscar shortlisted, it was absolutely beautiful. The story was well told, seeing the girls in an idealised magical girl universe was great too. The film also propelled Sayaka to hands down my favourite character of the franchise, all of her emotional scenes were heartbreaking. Sayaka X Kyoko for life. But that ending was so goddamn unnecessary. I'm not going to argue that it went against Homura's character or anything like that because it didn't. In fact it was a bold twist to show that nothing she's ever done has really been for a noble cause. But to just pull a reverse series ending and negate the show's fantastic conclusion? Horrible. All it did was make Homura an all-powerful overly-attached girlfriend and tease that even if Godoka rises again Demon Homura will just try to take her down once more. Blah. Nagisa was also a big disappointment. Bebe was really cool, but she either needed to be in the film way more or actually have a reasonable explanation to her other than "witch gone good". Since the first part was so great I struggle to call the film bad, so "completely unnecessary" will have to do.

I finally got to enjoy some Bleach action. Last night's episode was pretty awesome, I'm glad the Reigai Arc is finally dubbed & we'll soon be done with the dub once the Fullbringer Arc has finished its airing on Toonami, I am hoping for a good show to take Bleach's place when it finishes airing, man I want them to bring Yu Yu Hakusho back, that'd be all kinds of win.

That's good to hear. They need to have the entire Buu saga done in less than 30 episodes.

Just watched the opening episode of WIXOSS. Guess it was only a matter of time before someone tries riding the Madoka bandwagon and chucks a card game in the middle. Most impressive though is just how amazingly boring the combination turns out to be.

Zeta Gundam 8 and 9
Episode 8 only just had the Lunar fights and some of the inner workings of the politics behind the AEUG. And Kamille grows as a pilot by learning how to fight on the moon. Oh and Kamille found a Haro. Meanwhile in the Amazon.... The Argama arrived at Grandia and get the Hyaku Shiki. Great! Now I don't have to stare at 3 Mark-IIs all the time now. So the Haro that Kamille found was actually Amuro's? What a coincidence. But that does imply that the crashed colony from last episode was the same colony where the White Base came from. Wow, Kamille, willingly ignoring calls to meetings is not gonna get you anywhere. So the investor guy from last episode is at the Argama and... what the fuck? Why is this random investor dude beating up some random kid he just met (Kamille) for being late? I understand this is the 80s and physical punishment of children was more the norm back then but Jesus this dude beats the shit out of Kamille. I also find it funny that this dude fist fights better then the Titan soldiers in episode 1 LOL. But as cheap as it is, its a pretty good way to have Kamille not make mistakes and develop. He seems like the kind of kid really sensitive to punishment and abuse so he's gonna do anything to avoid it now that he's been told how to not get into it. Quattro and Emma tell Kamille to grow up and Kamille saves Emma's life during the moon base mission. Last edited by Powerman293; 04-06-2014 at 12:21 PM.. |

Finished Fate/Zero and am three episodes into Fate/Stay Night.
I'm looking forward to the new Stay Night that's supposed to happen in the fall since it's supposedly going to continue the tone and feel of Zero. Because, while I understand Stay Night was produced first and probably should have been watched first, it is what I'm missing so far from it. It just doesn't feel like a real continuation yet... But that might be due to our main protagonist being completely clueless as to what's going on too. Most of all, though, I think everyone should be actually reacting a whole lot more to his last name being "Emiya" - after Kirtisugu's role in the last war - than they all are, especially Saber. But Zero ended up great. There were a lot of characters I loved to love and a few I loved to hate. Rider and Waver in particular were a great pair.
