Gunparade March Episode 02 - Do Whatever You Like - I am Who I Am

So, just to make sure I was going to be complaining about the correct things, I did a little bit of digging about some of the content of the DVDs for this show. Turns out, the official subs really aren't a whole lot better.

Also, for some reason this disc just loves to crash when I go turn on the English subtitles. Sure, maybe it's an issue with my video player, but I like to imagine it's actually because the quality of these DVDs is utter shit.

I am beginning to suspect that perhaps it is not worth the five dollars I spent on it.

Anyways, it's time to dive into this show again, so let's hop to it!

Sailor Moon SuperS Episode 02 - Super Transformations Again! Pegasus' Power

I continue my quest down this maddening road of insanity, and take one step closer to providing something vaguely resembling catching up.

I think I was going to put something poignant here, but then it floated away. So instead, I'll just let you pretend like I said something important, and possibly relevant to your personal life. Go get that thing I sent you! You can do it, hang in there and etcetera you heroic person you!

Give it another five minutes and I'm sure I'll begin hallucinating.

Dog Days' Episode 02 - Pastillage Joins The Battle!

Why god did I ever pick this show back up again?

Oh, right. Because I was desperate and I panicked.

Now, this marks my third entry for the week. My goal is to get all caught up so everything gets posted at roughly the same time.

I'm not claiming that I'll be able to keep up this pace, but it's my hope that maybe this time I'll actually manage to get caught up so releases come out at roughly the same time.

I really need a better hobby.

Sailor Moon SuperS Episode 01 - The Night Where a Pegasus Flies

You know, it of course occurs to me that I may have made a slight error in my estimation of post counts.

For you see, while today is in fact the technical 300th post (a hefty milestone I might add), there are several of these posts which are not, in fact, content posts, but rather they are, how do we say, lapses in judgment in their non-anime-relatedness.

Which means those don't count.

Of course, this also means that Final Reviews may or may not also count, which will also conflagrate the strange, warpiness inherent in the nature of these posts and their counting. Which is just a fancy way of saying that I've seriously miscounted somewhere.

And speaking of warping things (see what I did there), it's time to begin the long trip down the road called Sailor Stars. (Nice save brah.) I get this strange feeling that this may be the beginning of a steep decline, but seeing as how the last season ended, at least I'm coming into this one with zero expectations?

Let's do this.

Gunparade March Episode 01 - The Visitor

Every now and then, I start to think that maybe, just maybe, my actual job might be trying to kill me.

Slowly, of course, and over a very long period of time.

It seems like just about every time I am about to meet my goals for this blog, I wind up having to work those dreaded 13 hour shifts, and nobody tells me until I'm three hours in.

Shit gets really old, really fast.

I can't remember what else I wanted to put in here, but let's face it. I'm here for one reason and one reason only, and that reason is to drive myself insane. With this in mind, I present to you Gunparade March. Which I may be able to describe as 'that thing Strike Witches wanted to be'.

I hope this is a clear indication of its quality, because the only reviews I could find on it were "THE BEST SHOW EVER" and "WATCH THIS AS A LAST RESORT".

For five bucks, I'm really not expecting a whole lot out of this.

Sailor Moon S: Hearts In Ice - Giving Me The Cold Shoulder

Man. If only I'd decided to push this off until next week, it would have marked the 300th post.

Which is kind of the perfect time to be writing stupidly long things like this? Hour-long specials are, y'know, special after all.

Well, no matter. Christmas is coming early this year folks, because we're going to sit down and tackle this beast, the way God intended: in one, incredibly long and arduous sitting.

Strap in folks. Get you some popcorn and stuff, because this is gonna be a long one.

Dog Days' Episode 1 - A Hero Appears!

"BUT I MADE IT. I SURVIVED YOU AND NOTHING CAN EVER MAKE ME WATCH SEASON TWO." - Me, Dec 2014

 Five months is not long enough to recover from watching this steaming pile of hot buffalo ass. Five years probably isn't enough to wash it all away. But considering I needed something to fill the interim, and it's going to take me a long time to sit through the Sailor Moon movie for season 3...

Well, it was this or... one of those other shows I dropped. *shudders*

I'll take Dog Days' over any of that garbage.

... god why do I do this to myself?

Kenzen Robo Daimidaler Episode FINAL - Showdown! Sound Robots V.S. Daimidaler

Thank god, we are finally at the end of this yellow brick road. Except instead of yellow bricks, it's a lot more like a road made of gold-plated shit.

It's seriously almost impressive how much effort was put into making something so utterly bad. The gold-plated shit analogy is perfect of the lengths which the creators went to in order to put this thing together.

I like to think there's hope that they might some day make something worth watching. Unfortunately, Daimidaler just isn't it.

Time to dive into the final episode. The chances of it redeeming itself are pretty low, but maybe we can get a couple of laughs before it's all said and done.

Kenzen Robo Daimidaler Episode 11 - Distraction! The Emperor's Sexual Harassment

Yeah. We all knew this was coming. I've got to see how this turns out in the end. It's the kind of show where the only thing keeping you watching is the fact that you're literally right at the end, and you just need to know how far gone it gets.

I'm not watching it because it's good. At this point I'm watching it because it's so unbelievably shitty, I cannot tear my eyes away from its awfulness.

Fly up, buttons down people. We're doing this. We're making it happen. Daimidaler ends THIS WEEK. THIS I DECREE.

Sailor Moon S Episode FINAL - Self-Awareness as a Soldier! Strength Lies in the Pure Heart

Oh good god. We've finally arrived at the end of this line, only to discover that we have a six-hour layover before getting on another train to reach the next station so we can catch our bus to get to the airport so we can leave the country and finally be halfway to our destination.

... that's my way of saying there's still a lot of goddamn Sailor Moon left to cover.

Here goes nothing folks, it's time to dive into the last episode of Sailor Moon S. Does the S stand for super? Sub-par? Salacious? Definitely not that last one.

Kenzen Robo Daimidaler Episode 10 - Invoke! Joseph's Symbol

What's this, you might ask? A Monday with no Sailor Moon?

Fear not, fine fellows. This is just me attempting to catch up. You'll get your Sailor Fuku Fetish Fix later. But for now? Giant pervy robots.

Man I'm not looking forward to this at all.

Kenzen Robo Daimidaler Episode 09 - Warning! The Closed Gate

Oh Daimidaler. How much I didn't miss you at all. You're not the worst show out there by any stretch of the imagination, but my god are you just all around terrible. It would almost be admirable to revel in your absolute suckitude, if you had any sort of redeeming quality whatsoever.

Fortunately, we are nearing the end of this unimaginable suckfest. Yes, I just used two sucky-type words in as many sentences. No, I really don't give a shit about it.

Let's dive into this amazing turd festival.

Sailor Moon S Episode 37 - A New Life! Time for Separation of the Destined Stars

Man, if things go according to plan, Monday we will be seeing the end of yet another series. And since we're almost finished with Daimidaler, I have to say I'm a bit concerned at the pickings being perhaps a little slim around here.

I'm sure I'll find something though. I always seem to.

One more episode after this one. However will this wrap up, I wonder? And will it somehow be an improvement from last season? Let's dive right in folks and see what's in store for us today.
