Yawara! Ep12-14
Shin Cutey Honey OVA3-4
Generally, I appreciate the monster of the week format for Cutey Honey (Re: really felt like they were packing far too much into the suitcase), but Saline/Silene the singer seems like she might have had a bit more mileage in her as a character. Nice nod back to Bubblegum Crisis with the look of the concert though.
Spriggan ep1-2
Despite initial impressions being a bit iffy (the first half hour is very expository), this has actually grown on me. It feels a bit like having Hideo Kojima explain the plot of a Dan Brown novel to you after a particularly hard night on the wine gums, but there’s something rather quaintly charming in its very 1989 hardback thriller view of world politics, married to typical shonen adventure silliness. I’d also be very curious to see the 1998 film now, I believe the second episode covers the same storyline it did.
