Sailor Moon S Episode 07 - Cold Hearted Uranus? Makoto in Trouble

Happy Monday folks. Today is Sailor Moon Day (since the new re-dubbed episode is out and all that). No, I haven't been watching it, but that shouldn't stop you from watching it! After all, I'm just a bunch of words on the Internet, what do I know about anime?

... yeah I think that's about all I've really got for today. Seems like some people think I talk too much so I'll just try to keep this shit brief or whatever. Episode time.

Sailor Moon S Episode 06 - Leave it to the Moon for Love Aid

Time sure seems to fly. My schedule has been kind of weird. I haven't been sleeping as much which is really throwing my energy levels off. Seems to be forever my curse, either I sleep too much or not enough. There's no real balance to it.

What's this got to do with anime? Believe it or not, it takes a great deal of willpower to muster the courage to watch stuff. Even Sailor Moon. Or especially Sailor Moon, I should say, given that... well, you've read about the last couple of episodes, right?

So what are we doing today? Stripping dishwashers? Stripping toy robots? Wait wait wait, I've got it: A stripping Mannequin. WAIT NO. A STRIPPING BIKINI.

I have successfully set the bar so low, this show cannot possibly hope to compete.

... right?

Master of Martial Hearts Episode 04 - Silently, Like Secrets

Episode 4. God, it feels like forever since I started watching this pile of crap, but with every passing moment, I come closer to the end of our relatively short journey. It makes me wonder what I should do next - there are so very many choices, and I've got quite the extensive list to go through.

Maybe something like Dragonaut if I can find it.

Anyways, enough pondering and shit, let's get on with the show! And what a show it will be. Or would be, if it were any good. These are the guys who gave us Wanna Be the Strongest in the World!, remember?

Sailor Moon S Episode 05 - Protect the Pure Heart! A Three-Way Battle

So, once again, I seem to be falling behind. It was a rough weekend, and things happen. No big deal. Not like I have any impending onus to ensure I do this on a regular basis besides just plain hating myself.

That having been said, man, the new series will be starting up in just a few weeks. I have to wonder how it will turn out, and if it'll be better than what we've already seen. One can hope.

I was gonna put more words but I forgot how to English so let's just get down to it today.

Master of Martial Hearts Episode 03 - Three Sisters, Sworn Enemies

Have I mentioned yet just how many awesome shows are coming up this summer? I don't think I have. Besides the Sailor Moon reboot (which looks pretty awesome), we've got a new Persona 4 series based on the Golden release, a second part to Space Dandy, more Sword Art Online (which is fun enough), and the third part of Ghost in the Shell: Arise.

Honestly, I'm fairly excited for the series coming out, because there's a lot of really good shows this season. Even glancing over the full list, there's really only one or two stinkers at best, and no matter how much I try to rail against Free!, let's just be honest with ourselves: It's still going to do really well.

So what am I going to be covering once this show is over? Well, I've certainly got no shortage of options, that's for sure. I have a list of craptacular anime half a mile long at this point. To that end, I've added a new poll asking for some suggestions. Take a click, tell me what you'd like.

That having been said, Master of Martial Hearts! Will this show get better? I seriously doubt it.

Sailor Moon R: Promise of the Rose - An Entire Hour of Madness!

You guys knew there were Sailor Moon movies, right? Right?

I f***ing miss you guys. T-T

So yeah. There were movies. Technically, I guess this takes place sometime after the Doom Tree arc, but sometime before they go back to the future. Needless to say, I've been wanting to do this movie for some time, but wasn't able to sit down and do it. Considering that this is the 200th(!!!) post, what better time to tackle this film than now?

I'd originally planned to maybe break it up into parts. But y'know what? Settle in. Because this is going to be a very, very long ride for all of us.

Sailor Moon S Episode 04 - Usagi's Idol! The Graceful Genius Michiru

Holy crap it has been a long run to get to this point. Monday will mark the 200th anime post. That's a lot of in-depth analysis of shows.

I've thought long and hard about what I want to do and... well, I've got something special all right. Not how I intended to use it, but I think you'll find it interesting. I hope you will, at any rate. I'll be putting a lot of work into it.

That having been said, wow, it's time for more Sailor Moon! Who could have predicted that.

Master of Martial Hearts Episode 02 - A Reason to Fight

Hello there again Internet. I haven't forgotten you. I know that I still have catching up to do. It's a thing that I'm working on. After all, there's a lot of stuff coming up, and I'd like to be ready for the new season starting up next month. Where I might pick up a show or two.

That said, I've got some Master of Martial Hearts here to watch. But before I get to that, I'd like to take a moment and say, if you read this blog on a regular basis: Thank you. I do keep an eye on stats and such, and I see that, well, of the ninety-some hits my blog gets a day, I'm sure that maybe two or even three of you are legitimate human beings. Or cats. I've got nothing against cats. Or dogs. On the Internet, nobody can tell. Or care. So who am I to judge your species of choice?

Of course, I'd still like this thing to reach other people. But to do that, I'd probably need some kind of incentive or something. Maybe some kind of a bonus entry or some such? Perhaps I'd even be willing to go against some things I've said about other certain shows and finish them to completion?

... no, there's no way I could hate myself that much, right?

Well, just some random thoughts I suppose. It's high time we dove into this show again, so let's hop to it, shall we?

Sailor Moon R - AKA Sailor Moon RELOADED

Seeing as how it's been a couple of weeks since R ended, I figured it was time to revisit it, and finally give it my final thoughts.

So I guess there's really no time better than the present to get this over with, eh?

Sailor Moon S Episode 03 - A Wonderful, Beautiful Boy? The Secret of Haruka Tenoh

There is a lot of anime coming out this summer that I actually want to watch.

Between Sailor Moon Crystal (obligatory since I write this), Space Dandy, Persona 4 Golden the TV, and now Sword Art Online too (yeah it's not that great but whatever I liked it), I have to say there's a lot to look forward to for the first time in what seems like forever.

With that having been said, I'll admit that I am really surprised with Sailor Moon S thus far. It's... improved. Greatly so. The first two episodes are pretty much better than everything that's come before it. It still relies on the old formulas but they work so much better.

I may have to rethink the 'bad anime' tag in relation to this show. It may have finally gotten good.

Hopefully I don't regret these words by the end of this episode though.

Sailor Moon S Episode 02 - The Rod of Love is Born! Usagi's New Transformation

So, I saw the trailer for the new Sailor Moon Crystal. And... well, I won't lie, it's definitely... interesting.

Initial thoughts? Character design seems to suffer from severe CLAMP-syndrome with limbs that are miles long, but I have to admit that the animation looks sick as hell. I'm gonna watch it. I might even blog about it.

... I'm not fooling anyone of course I'm going to. So on that note, why not some more classic Sailor Moon?

The Master of Martial Hearts Episode 01 - Destiny Sprints Into Motion

This is clearly a decision which I shall regret very quickly.

I have been informed that this series is only five episodes long. Which means that it can only get so painful before it is finally over. I have also been informed that, if I do not make it to the final episode, I am Not A Man.

Alright bitches. Challenge. Accepted.

Sailor Moon S Episode 01 - Premonition of World's End? Mysterious New Warriors!

Hello there Internet. Welcome back.

For some reason, I decided to kick off Sailor Moon S immediately. Why wait? I'm going to have to spend a good long time to sit down with the first Sailor Moon movie (which, admittedly, I saw a really long time ago, but it's been so long that it'll be like the first time all over again, so we can ignore that for now). I've also been thinking about what else I should be watching around these parts.

While I have another show in mind, it is really short, and I'm not sure I want to sit through any more of Qwasar... at least, not yet. Still though, this leaves me with quite the dilemma. I'm going to need something else to watch.

Which leads me to wonder if I am, in all seriousness, considering picking up the second season of Free!

... what have I become?
