Wanna Be the Strongest! Episode 02 - Pro Debut!

So, there is a slight possibility pretty high chance I completely blanked this show out in a fit of alcohol-induced stupor since I originally watched the pilot episode.

I uh, also might have needed to refresh myself on the subject of this show.

So hi. Welcome. This is called Wanna Be the Strongest! It's the second episode. (In case you don't bother reading the titles, I mean, I sure don't anymore, they are bothersome and boring and not the point here.) This is a show about a girl. She wants to be the strongest, I guess. But really, this show is about a Japanese idol with big tits wrestling other girls with proportionally large busts. Also, lots of ass shots.

In case you were just joining us and didn't read the title or the first three paragraphs: This is an anime involving titties, ass, assgrabs, wrestling, and pile drivers. Are you onboard? Okay.

tl;dr: F**k it. Girls wrestle, the end.

Sailor Moon R Episode 13 - True Love Awakens! The Doom Tree's Secret

Life is funny sometimes. It throws us all kinds of curveballs, and things just tend to pile up without even realizing. Such as with this blog. I'm kind of getting lax in its treatment lately, but that's mostly because I have a lot more on my plate than I used to.

Fortunately, I think I've got like, what, ten people who read this regularly? So at least I'm not disappointing too many folks.

I've been considering a make up week. One post for five days straight, in order to catch up on the backlog a little bit. Sure, it might be overkill, but what am I gonna do, watch good anime?

Pffft. Not until the next episode of Kill la Kill is out at any rate. Maybe I should do little mini posts about that stuff...?

Sailor Moon R Episode 12 - The Lovers' Hearts Disagree! The Angry Doom Tree

You know, it's been awhile since I last continued Sailor Moon. Exactly two weeks, actually. So I guess that means I should probably get back on track.

There's all kinds of reasons it's fallen behind. New shows, changing things up... and the fact that, as much as I want to rail on this show, there's honestly far more deserving ones in my lineup right now. I'm not suggesting Sailor Moon is getting good, it's getting mediocre. Which might almost be worse than being bad, except that it's only bad for me, since it means there's so very little to talk about that I haven't already talked about.

This is probably one of the most boring fillers I've ever had to watch. It isn't horrifying, it isn't scarring me for life, and it certainly isn't making me want to hurt myself. Unless you count wanting to die out of sheer boredom as wanting to hurt myself, because that is something this show has in spades right now.

Maybe my problem is that I need to spice things up a bit. Turn it into a game.

... meh. We'll see about that once this stupid filler is done and over with, and the actual plot gets to retconning this entire bullshit scenario. Kind of like how the first episode retconned the events of the end of the first series...

Wanna Be the Strongest! Episode 01 - An Idol Wrestler is Born!

If you read the title... then you already know why this is here. Because that is everything wrong with everything.

I mean, heck, I did a little bit of research on this one before I decided to throw it on the pile of crap. Admittedly not a lot of research mind you, but research nonetheless. Research that was limited only to the absolute WORST promotional video I've ever seen. It is literally a full minute of the main character struggling, her face so close to the camera you can't really tell what's going on. Also, she's giving you the most lewd cries that you can possibly imagine.

To put it into perspective, here's a few of the tags from anidb: Breast Fondling, Skimpy Clothing, Nudity.

Yep. It's the exact opposite of Free!. It even has an exclamation mark in its title.

Astarotte no Omocha Episode 02 - The First Semicolon

It is entirely possible you were expecting some other post today. Sailor Moon, perhaps? But no, such is not the case. Why did I choose to revisit Lotte so soon?

Well, it's because I think I've been hornswaggled, that's why. Duped. Redirected to that damnable left (or was it right?) turn at Albuquerque. I spent so much time completely dumbstruck and distracted by the pretty animations that somehow, I entirely missed the whole point of this entire show. It's horror didn't really settle in until last night, as I lay in bed to sleep.

This is a show about teaching a ten year old girl to suck cock. Forget everything else. Forget that she is a succubus (laughable enough). Forget that she's a princess (which only serves to make this WORSE). Let's just ignore the fact that there's enough Norse mythology crammed into this show to choke the Leviathan. All of this? Unimportant. Because the sole purpose of this show, no matter what else happens, the number one plot device that drives this entire show... is to teach a little girl the importance of fellatio.

If that's not sexist as f**k then I don't know what is.

Astarotte no Omocha Episode 01 - The Exclamation of Our Meeting

Today, I decided to try a different sort of show. Something different. It was pitched to me as, well, frankly a pretty bad show. In fact, some of my friends have even attempted to dissuade me from watching it. Even after doing a quick glance over at Wikipedia, I could not be deterred. Attempts to keep me from watching it generally boiled down to something like this:

Friend: Don't watch it, you will regret it.

Me: Why?

Friend: It's bad.

Me: Is it worse than KnJ?

Friend: .... no but it's stil-

Me: THEN I CAN TAKE IT. BRING IT ON.

Nothing. Nothing is worse than f***ing Kodomo no Jikan. This show is about a 10-year old succubus who is coming of age. And it still cannot be worse than KnJ.

Such a thing is simply not possible.

Strike Witches Episode FINAL - Strike Witches

I can't really put this off any longer, I suppose. Not entirely sure why I would want to, of course. But.. it must be done. Let's just end this show and put it out of my misery.

As a note, I know that I didn't post anything Friday. I was going to, but then I wound up doing other things instead. Things that didn't involve watching this show. Also, it gave me time to prepare a couple of other shows. One of which might show up Wednesday. Or Friday. I'm undecided, really.

Finally, as a last word? They named the final episode the title of the show. As if they weren't full enough of themselves as it was? Yeah. They just had to go there.

Okay. Let's just get this over with so I can gently sob into a pillow for the rest of the night...

Sailor Moon R Episode 11 - Be Careful After School! Usagi is a Target

You know, I'm conflicted here. Because despite the fact that this show has some of the worst alien invaders this side of Plan 9 From Outer Space, or anything from MST3K for that matter, I can't help but feel that I'm enjoying myself. Just a little bit. That doesn't make this show too much better I suppose, because everyone involved is still a really, truly, terrible person. Plus the monster designs still pretty much suck. And character development? There's no such thing.

Maybe it suffers from a case of being so bad, it's actually enjoyable. I mean, it's at the point where its kind of like a game trying to figure out just how bad a thing will get before they actually go there, and finding out if you were right on the money or, god forbid, somehow nowhere close to how bad it actually turns out. It's like a demolition derby: Yeah, they call it a race but the only reason anyone shows up is because they want to see a bunch of cars get f***ing trashed to hell.

So yeah. I just compared Sailor Moon to trashed car races. What now?

Strike Witches Episode 11 - To the Sky

With this, there's only one more episode before I'm finished with a second series. I'm still at a loss for what I'll do Friday - maybe I'll just end this one there and figure the rest out as I go. Lord knows I'm going to be all too happy to put this monstrosity down for good.

I'm really not sure what else I can say, except that I am really, really glad I only have to do this stupid Pantsu counter one more time after this. I may need more gimmicks in the near future... just because.
