Sailor Moon S Episode 10 - The Kindness of a Man! Yuichiro, Heartbroken by Rei?

My quest to survive all of Sailor Moon ever continues.

By the way have I mentioned that Sailor Moon Crystal is kind of awesome? Because it really is.

Seriously, if you haven't watched it yet and are reading this, my question is: why? Go watch it you fool. And revel in how much better it is than this mess.

Unrelated news: Seems like my blog is getting more popular in the Asian markets. So hello if you live in Korea. Or Japan. Or China. Or anywhere in Asia really. I hope that you can read this. (But let's face it, you probably can because you are Asian and therefore awesome at everything I'm not. Like drawing. Or tap dancing.)

Back on topic, Sailor Moon. I can safely say it's at least better than The Choujo (though that's really not saying much now is it?).

Rumic World - Maris The Choujo (AKA Maris the Supergal) OVA

Already I'm behind on things, but that's not a surprise, because today's entry is one that I've been wanting to sit down and do for a very, very long time: The Choujo. Or Maris the Choujo, as it is known in some circles.

A user on Reddit had this to say about this show:

"The worst anime I've seen besides Pupa is The Choujo. Its only redeeming quality is that it's not Pupa."

Those are some pretty strong words. And, because I hate myself, they were words which intrigued me. What could be so bad that its only saving grace is that it is not one of the worst things I've ever watched?

Well, back in 1986, Studio Pierrot released this little gem, based on a manga series by the same name. I'll spare you the details which you can Google yourself, but given this is the mid 80's, I feel we've already established that the quality of this piece will be laughable at best.

Friends, it is time to sink our teeth into this hot mess. Welcome to The Choujo.

Free! Eternal Summer Episode 01 - Stormy Dive-Dash!

... so remember that time I said I would never have to watch another episode of this again? Yeah, me too.

I believe I may have also prayed to more than a few pagan gods in the hopes that this would never see the light of day. (Note to self: Forsake aforementioned pagan gods.)

Yeah, I kind of regret saying those things now because here I am watching this goddamn beautiful show with some of the worst character writing in the history of anime.

SO HELP ME GOD IF SOMEONE DOESN'T SHOVE THEIR TONGUE DOWN SOMEONE ELSE'S MOUTH BY THE END OF THIS I WILL BE SORELY DISAPPOINTED.

Sailor Moon S Episode 09 - Save Friends! Moon and Uranus Join Forces

It's been a really difficult last couple of weeks for me. Lots of personal things came up, and kept me from being able to sit down and do a thing. A thing which resembles this thing you are reading now. (It's a thing.)

For that, I'm sorry. But life must come first, and not having the energy to sit down for two hours (or an hour and a half or however long it takes me) to write this just has to take a back seat. On the bright side however, I've got a pretty good backlog of stuff that I should be writing about.

Stuff that I won't tell you about yet but I can assure you will be coming soon. Perhaps tomorrow soon. Perhaps fives days a week for a few weeks soon. Crazier things have happened am I right?

Anyways, it's time for Sailor Moon Mondays. Let's kick this off right, and see what motorcycles have to do with today's episode huh?

Sailor Moon S Episode 08 - The Labyrinth of Water! Ami the Targeted

It would appear that the ending of Master of Martial Hearts about damn near killed me. I didn't feel the energy to do anything for days, and worst of all, it gave me insomnia for a few days.

At least that's the excuse I'm going with. It all started after I watched that show so clearly that must be the cause of my troubles.

Fortunately however, I've got a whole new lineup of shows to go through, so we'll see. And given that the new season of anime is finally upon us... well, maybe I will do a thing where I discuss some of those shows. But briefly. Very briefly.

Also, last related note: Sailor Moon Crystal has finally started, and it is a billion times percent better. That's a whole lotta zeroes, and a topic for some other time... But for today, you get the classic stuff! Classic-ish? Screw it roll the footage Tom!

Master of Martial Hearts Episode FINAL - Flames

I kind of dread this, you know.

It's that kind of dread because of what people keep telling you: "Just wait till the end!" or "Please survive till the end!" or "If you watch nothing else, watch the final episode!"

... yeah I'm actually kind of concerned for my safety at this point.

So, ladies and gents, I give to you... the final episode of Master of Martial Hearts.

God help me.
