Mars of Destruction - The World's Worst Anime (Literally)

You know how with most anime, you can generally find them somewhere on the Internet? Unless it is super old or obscure, you can probably find somewhere on the Internet that has it available for viewing, legally or otherwise.

So imagine my utter befuddlement when I attempted to find myself this show. In a viewable quality, mind you. Just finding it anywhere was a difficult task to begin with.

The show only came out in mid-2005. So why does it seem like I can't find this show anywhere? It's only a 20-minute OVA, how bad could it possibly get in that short amount of time?

Remember that I've been saying for awhile that I wanted to do something like this. Something just so utterly horrible that I had a difficult time finding it even on the Internet. I mean you can find anything there these days. By my reckoning, I'm at almost 200 posts about the animoos (this marks #192, woo!), and after seeing my blog having hit over 12k views (that's a lotta views by the way), I figure it's time to get this sucker out in the open, for all the world to behold.

My friends, I give you... Mars of Destruction. Let's. Do. This.

Diabolik Lovers Episode FINAL - Insert Title Here

With the completion of Sailor Moon R, I just had to wrap this one up as well. Because so long as I'm finishing things, I may as well finish them right off.

Plus it'll give me the opportunity to write up my final thoughts on this show as a lovely little bonus at some point. I've got a lot of material to try and cover, and unfortunately I don't have a whole lot of material sitting around, so things will likely just be Sailor Moon all day every day, until I find something else horrible enough to fill in the gaps.

(This is where you get to suggest things, hint hint, and if it's bad enough I'll do it.)

So, let's end this show, eh?

Sailor Moon R Episode FINAL - Usagi and the Girls' Resolve! Prelude to a New Battle

Well, we're finally here - the actual end of Sailor Moon R. As baffling as this is, however. I mean, they wrapped up everything last episode, right? What more could they hope to add? Wiseman is dead, pretty much everyone from Nemesis that wasn't a Phantom Sister is dead, and Chibi-usa went back home.

So what more could possibly be done? Everything was literally wrapped up nice and neat last episode. Why did there need to be one more? They didn't even set up for anything else!

I guess it's time for us to find out.

Also, sincerest apologies for the lack of that other post. I'm still having some issues with it. We'll see if I can get that taken care of... it's just. It's really, really painful, that's all.

But today on Sailor Moon...

Diabolik Lovers Episode 11 - World of Darkness You Ain't

Things just have a way of getting in my way lately. Having finally overcome the illness that plagued me, I'm trying to get back into the normal swing of things - which is pretty hard when I've gotten so accustomed to not sitting down to watch things I utterly despise.

I think that you will agree that it is not an entirely bad thing to not sit and watch things which make you wish to strangle the nearest human being. But since this is the Internet and we do things that make little sense...

I bring to you once again, and almost for the last time... Diabolik Lovers.

Sailor Moon R Episode 42 - The Final Battle Between Light and Darkness! Love Sworn to the Future

Today, I am breaking all kinds of rules, but for good reason. I'm skipping Diabolik Lovers, and going straight for Sailor Moon again, and here's the reason why:

Viz Animation, the current holders of the US license of Sailor Moon, announced that they are re-releasing all original 200 episodes plus movies on Blu-Ray, fully uncut, and with a brand new English dub! This is pretty freaking awesome, but it's not even the best news, because you see the best news is that, starting today, and every Monday from now, they will be simulcasting this new dub over the internet through places such as Hulu!

Now, I won't lie. This is pretty amazing news, but it gets better, because come July 5th, Sailor Moon Crystal will begin airing. And this is pretty important because, from what I understand, this is supposed to be a reboot. A re-envisioning of the series, and a take of how it was supposed to be, as opposed to what we actually got.

So the bar is set pretty high for that one, and my interests are incredibly relevant, since I hope it will fix all of the issues I have ever had with this show. Like ever. So we'll see.

In the interests of honoring this thing, every Monday is now Sailor Moon Day for me, as opposed to Wednesdays. So that people can read this thing, and watch the brand new episodes and tell me just how horribly wrong I am about everything. Or totally spot on, I'm no visionary.

Anyways, I've rambled on long enough. Onto the show!

Sailor Moon R Episode 41 - Believe in Love and the Future! Usagi's Determination

So. I kind of slipped up again. By which I mean to say, I basically slept through like three entire days and feel as though I barely slept.

Yeah, it's kind of hard for me to keep up with the regular updates right now. Not gonna let that get in the way though, I'll persevere. I'm already queuing up the next batch of horridness. Some shorter things to help cushion the blow between working on the first Sailor Moon movie, and still recovering from Qwasar.

Just thinking about Qwasar makes me feel ill. Ugh.

So today on Sailor Moon... let's find out!
