YOU'RE JUST A MAD ROBOT
So I watched the first four episodes OF ANDROID KIKAIDER today, and while it is a little boring (JUST A LITTLE) I kind of like it. Sure the fights are weak and so far not much has happened, but the dub is nice and I like the characters. Considering I'm basically 1/4th through the series + the OVAs I figure I might be able to knock this one out during the weekend.
On the other side of the enjoyment spectrum is the first really really boring episode Ideon. So boring that I can't imagine watching 38 more episodes. I'm thinking I might have to just go with the movies instead of the whole series. Maybe I'll give it another episode or too.
ALSO, A SUPER ROBOT WARS W UPDATE. The further along into GaoGaiGar I get, the more I enjoy this game and become attached to certain units. Also Kaiser Blade is the shit. This game's probably been bumped from a D- in my book, to a C+ or maybe even a B. Definitely worth playing if you like the GaoGaiGar or the Mazinger series (lol wing too >_> BUT JUST THE MECHS). I don't know much about most of the other robots though (save Shin-Getter and Voltron).
And uh... my Cap omnibus arrived today. It's really awesome holding this epic tome of greatness. I just can't express the feeling I get knowing this humongous book contains the "death" of the Red Skull, the return of Bucky, and the death of Captain America ALL IN ONE COMPLETE SET. Granted I already owned 17 of the 25 issues, but it's still badass.
AND WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECTS OF COMICS, let me mention that I "read" the sequel to JMS' most-hated Spider-Man story "Sins Past." Now I was a fan of the original. I wasn't nearly as enraged by the way everything played out as most people were and I thought the writing and art were pretty darn good. This is not the case with Sins Remembered. At all. I should have written down the name of the writer and artist so I could avoid anything else they ever do, cause this was a piece of shit. All the potential that was flushed down the toilet when everybody hated the original story is summoned back up, teased at, and then obliterated by this horrible train wreck of a story. Probably the worst thing about the story was the writing for Mary Jane. Could she be any more of a pathetic pushover? I'm not even going to go into the details of the story; all I can say is that unlike at the end of Sins Past, after this story hope I never see the Stacy twins ever again.
That's it! I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING ELSE. CIAO.
