Not calling her Minky Mothra, smh. Curiosity also got the better of me, so a quick note on: Creamy Mami ep1 While enough is borrowed from Minky Momo that it feels derivative at times, this feels like a lot of lessons have been learned. It’s better paced, there’s clear logic to the narrative...

Minky Momo ep2 - I Bless the Rains Down in Akihabara Well, that happened. The previous episode grew on me as it went on, but this one felt even more scattershot by comparison - considering that the moral of the story appears to be as simple as ‘it’s okay to wear glasses’, it feels like we got...

Minky Momo ep1 For some reason, I always get Minky Momo mixed up with Creamy Mami (what a sentence), despite never having seen either. But yeah, she’s a bit presumptive our Momo, isn’t she? Seems like she just barges into that poor couple’s home and gaslights them into believing she was there...

Oh yeah, I’d forgotten about Penelope Pitstop - she even had her own spin-off series for a little while, which apparently predated Josie and the Pussycats.

That is absolutely someone’s doujin project that I do not want to google…

Princess Tonight - ep2 Maybe my mind has adjusted to it more now, but I didn’t find camera nearly as distracting this time. Having the context of Sapphire’s apparent creation also adds something, I think - Choppy being there certainly makes more sense now, even though I was surprised that he...

Princess Knight ep1 Well, that was a trip. Despite my interest in vintage anime generally, I must admit to not having seen many of the early shows - prior to this, the oldest thing I’d seen was the first Lupin series from 71 - and the editing takes a bit of getting used to. It feels like the...

Sorairo Utility ep4 Find someone who looks at you the way Haruka looks at a new driver. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex ep1-12 (rewatch, English dub) The passage of time only makes me appreciate SAC more, I think we’ve still never seen any other sci-fi procedural top how...

Ubel Blart ep1-2 This is an odd confection, it feels like it’s torn between standard shonen fantasy tropes and trying to do something darker, often setting up a situation that looks like it’s heading somewhere gruesome, only to pull back from it at the last minute. It also feels like the whole...

I have somehow never seen an entire episode of Sailor Moon. Not intentionally so, just doesn’t seem to have come my way.

The OP hasn’t logged in for two years - no more enquiries, please.

Sorry, I missed the tag somehow - stickied now.

Zenshu ep2-3 Nah, I think I’m done with this. There’s a decent idea rattling around in there somewhere, but outside of the impressive scenes of Natsuko using her summoning power, there’s bafflingly little to it beyond the most standard fantasy tropes and a largely charmless cast of characters...

Eh, one a month sounds good to me, but maybe offer to defer any threads if folk have holidays or anything coming up. About the voting threads, I’m easy - if anyone wants to set one up themselves, feel free and I’ll stick it to the top of the forum, otherwise I could set one up whenever we’re ready.

Yeah, I can’t attest to how good or bad it ended up being, but Sonny Boy is on Crunchyroll and seems like the sort of show that would lend itself to discussion.

I’d probably bang the drum for The Woman Called Fujiko Mine again, although given that it too is on HIDIVE, the first Lupin series might also be a possibility- you get an interesting contrast between the weird episodes at the start which are faithful to the manga, then the Miyazaki run later on...

Afraid I fell off this one rather badly. Ended up with a lot of work on over the holidays and having recently purchased Elden Ring did not help either. I might try to go back and catch up, but I’ve always found Haibane Renmei a bit elusive - it’s never quite clicked for me the way I know it...

I don’t think it has, now that you mention it, although prospects are looking up - it was part of Shout’s recent acquisition deal alongside a lot of other classic HK films.

Hong Kong things again Private Life (1987) An early starring role for Joey Wang, seeing her as a winner of the prestigious Miss Hong Kong beauty paegeant whose misplaced trust in a nightclub owner leads her into a life as a high-class call girl, only for her to end up framed following the...

Dan Da Dan ep11-12 [end] On the whole, I’ve enjoyed Dan Da Dan so far, but would echo what others have been saying about ep12 being a sour note to end the cour on. I’d hoped we were past the , and yet here we are. Sorairo Utility ep1 Kind of bounced off the pilot film for Sorairo Utility...
