Dog Days Episode 12 - The Four Conditions

Full disclosure: Before today, I've never watched the Lego Movie.

I know, I know. I'm a horrible human being, but look on the bright side! I have seen it now. And my god was it f***ing glorious. As soon as the credits rolled, I wanted to start watching it again. Because it made me feel so very, very good.

Then someone called me halfway through the credits and inadvertently reminded me that I have this blog thing I do from time to time. Whoops!

So yeah. It's time to see if Dog Days is so terrible, it can even ruin the high I have from watching the Lego Movie. Or if everything is simply too freaking awesome. Because I'm living the dream.

(Everything is awesome.)

Free! Eternal Summer Episode 12 - A Swim-Off in a Foreign Land!

I am super excited to be watching this show.

Not even a joke. I am legitimately, one-hundred percent on board with this show now. You do not even know.

YOU DO NOT EVEN KNOW.

Of course, you probably do now because I just described how very on-board I am with this show. But for the sake of the narrative. YOU DO NOT EVEN KNOW.

LET US COMMENCE WITH THE FREE GAY SWIM GUYS. GAYS. STUFF. LETS DO THIS HARU.

Sailor Moon S Episode 25 - Crazy for Celebrities! Mimet in Doubt

I can't quite recall if I mentioned or not that I used to live in Florida.

Well, in case I didn't mention it, I used to live in Florida.

I'm not a very big fan of Florida. I mean yes, it does have some nice things going for it. But the one thing that gets me the most? No snow. I love me some snow. Snow is like, one of the best goddamn things ever. I. Love. Snow.

So now, here I am, two years later, at the end of November, living in the literal heart of f***ing America, and what do I get?

Sixty degree temps and rain blowing sideways at two in the god damned morning.

I LEFT FLORIDA FOR THIS?! I MAY AS WELL HAVE STAYED. WHAT THE HELL.

I guess that's a perfect terrible segue for Sailor Moon. OR IS IT?

Dog Days Episode 11 - Flying Flower in the Night

The Holiday season is finally upon us. The snow has begun to fall, frigid temperatures have gripped our nation, and talking heads still fail to understand basic scientific principles.

Give it another week and they'll begin talking about the "war on Christmas". Sheesh.

It's honestly my favorite time of the year, and being able to experience the cold and snow again really just makes me feel all nice inside. Dog Days does not.

... I regret ever picking up this show. I really, really do.

Free! Eternal Summer Episode 11 - The Open Turn of Destiny!

Once again it's time to delve into the realm of anime that totally just doesn't want to admit what it really is.

... damn, I thought I had something way more witty to write when I sat down, but after fifteen minutes of cat pictures later, it's totally gone. DAMN YOU INTERNET! DAMN YOU AND YOUR INFINITE CAT WORKS.

... I will be so happy if that actually trends as a thing.

Sailor Moon S Episode 24 - A House Full of Evil Presence! The Secret of the Beautiful Girl, Hotaru

I woke up this morning and suddenly there was two inches of snow on the ground.

Why do I mention this? Because it's my blog and snow makes me happy, that's why. I like snow, okay? Friggin' love it. It brings me comfort and puts me into my happy place. Sailor Moon S, however, is likely to take me out of it, so let me enjoy what few precious moments of comfort remain.

Unless the show suddenly gets better. I'd be cool with that. Though, given our main villain is now basically Aleister Crowley, one has to wonder what the chances of that happening are.

... yeah I'm not holding out much hope.

Dog Days Episode 10 - The Hero, The Princess, and a Ray of Hope

I'll be honest here. Yeah, I know, I'm behind again, blah blah blame the weather making me feel like dying and all that. But I was not planning on writing this up yet.

I was expecting to push it off until tomorrow given how quickly I passed out after work, but then after two hours my brain was all "HEY. YOU HAVE SLEPT ENOUGH AFTER OPERATING FOR TWENTY HOURS STRAIGHT. HIIIIIIIIIIII. CAN WE HAS FUN TIMES NAO?"

F**k you brain. I really needed that sleep.

Perhaps torturing myself with this will make it think twice before it does this to me again. DO YOU SEE WHAT I AM DOING HERE BRAIN? YOU DON'T LET ME SLEEP AND I GIVE TO YOU THE HORRIBLE BURNING. THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!

Free! Eternal Summer Episode 10 - The Six-Beat Kick of Tears!

There are lots of reasons to do something that is clearly not good for you. Some people do it because it's 'fun'. Some people do it because of an addiction. Others do it for fame and fortune and everything that goes with it.

I think in my case, I'm continuing to watch this show because quite frankly I am one incredibly stubborn bastard. There's a lot of great things to say about Free! as a whole. It's... admittedly not such a horrible show after all. But that doesn't mean I can't continue to sit here and mock it in all of its stupid glory.

Also, for f***'s sake somebody MAKE OUT IN THIS THING ALREADY GOD!

Sailor Moon S Episode 23 - Who is the True Messiah? Chaos of Light and Darkness

Looking back, it's kind of hard to believe I've done so many of these things now. Seriously, blows my damned mind. This is a lot of time in my life that I'll never get back. And yet I'm still just barely halfway through the original series.

Man. The next few years are really going to suck aren't they?

Anyways, after last week's disappointing and anticlimactic turnaround, let's see how things turn out today shall we?

Dog Days Episode 09 - Grana Fortress' Defense Strategy

Oh Dog Days, I bet you thought I forgot about you this week, didn't you? It's cute that you'd think so. I'd like to forget you. I'm pretty sure a lot of people probably did forget you. But me?

Oh no, I'm not allowed to forget you. I'm not ever allowed to forget you.

After all, I'm talking about you on the Internet, and we all know how shit gets immortalized there.

So let's go ahead and dive into Dog Days... soon, it will all be over. And then I can watch something better. Like a show about robots with giant penises.

... on second thought is it too late to keep this show going...?

Free! Eternal Summer Episode 09 - The Forming of a Slump!

Occasionally I do a thing where I talk to other people.

Shocking, I know. Even weirder? Sometimes they even talk back to me.

In this case, the topic of conversation came back to everyone's show about gay swimbros, and how I am practically about to straight up f***ing murder someone if SOMEBODY DOES NOT KISS ANOTHER MAN AT SOME POINT BEFORE THIS SHIT IS OVER WITH.

Seems that this is not an uncommon sentiment. Not even among other straight men such as myself.

Also, it seems that mostly guys are watching this show that is clearly aimed at the womenfolk? What the hell is up with that? I'm calling shenanigans.

But seriously someone better f***ing make out or something soon before I find something flammable.

Sailor Moon S Episode 22 - The Grail's Divine Power! Moon's Double Transformation

Oh Sailor Moon. With every passing episode of Crystal, I am reminded of just how much potential was lost in the original series. How much promise it showed, and how little actually came through.

With last week's episode, despite the suddenly helicopter (seriously where the hell did that even come from??), things took a relatively dark turn. Given that we are now two-thirds through the series, I suppose it might be time for the show to begin actually taking itself seriously for a change?

It's a lot to hope for, but hey, I am, if nothing else, an optimistic fella. Let's do this.
