Okay. Did two episodes today. That's all we could take.



Magician Academy 5

It was a dark and stormy night. Purple stuff was added to blue stuff and electrocuted. Mad science occurred.

Sqrl: "Is this the extended remix of the theme or something?" Woof: "No, it's always this long." Sqrl: "Aw god, this is gonna hurt." I am in a bad mood tonight, you see.

Giant hideous swan head! Giant hideous swan head on a robot!

There is rocket punch. (Mazinger Z homage! Wait, this was last episode.)

Oh no. They broke a sealing charm. Now evil is unleashed. Maybe it will kill them all. *hopeful*

Stone derpyhead goes derp derp derp.

Zombie outbreak! A biohazard! Quick, get a rocket launcher! (Okay, that joke was actually IN THE SHOW. I kinda smiled a bit.)

Everyone wear cat ear headbands to protect yourselves from the zombies! ..what the flying bejesus.

Gendo Ikari pooooose. Because it's an Evangelion homage! Keep stealing material! ...er, parodying! Material.

A long time ago there was a big dickweed as a teacher. They sealed him away. This will pretend to be our plot for this episode.

...Huh. She has the Alteisen as a mecha. Okay, this could be awesome...

No, if the attack makes so much smoke you can't see anything, it's failed. Well known fact.

JESUS CHRIST, NIPPLES.

If the greatest threat the school has even known turns out to be Hard Gay... yeah, it is.

I fucking HATE this show SO MUCH, you guys.

Specifically, it's a giant gay overmuscled man with a "Cupid" emblem halo, purple lipstick and enormous wings.

Who is speaking french.

The furry-obsessive teacher is doing the King Of Hearts pose from G Gundam and screaming something about moe.

...He turned into Jon Talbain? Okay, I can... no, this isn't going to work either.

Everyone at the command center looks how I feel. One guy is actually clutching his face and swaying back and forth while gurgling.

That is not what 'philantrophist' means.

They're -talking- about Hard Gay now. And how sex between little boys is okay but not between huge muscled men. This is like Cho Aniki without the quaint gentle humor value.

"We're going to start with physical attacks, then use some items, and finally I'll use my Limit Break."

Inu-yasha costume. Etna costume. Have we actually dipped into cosplay now?

Russian folk dancing attack.

JUST AS KEIKAKU. Apparently.

No, if the SMOKE obscures the enemy, it didn't WORK... uh-huh.

Yeah, a twenty year break will get you fired.

...so that was how it ends, huh.

I FUCKING HATE THIS SHOW SO MUCH, YOU GUYS. This is the worst stereotypes of... EVERYTHING, poor comedy, poor writing, poor dialogue, excess for the sake of excess, forced straining of a joke...

Just stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Just stop. End, show. End. END. FUCKING END. NO, DON'T DO A GENDER SWAP TRAILER FOR THE NEXT EPISODE. END. STOP. GO AWAY. STOP. STOP TALKING.
STOP TALKING RIGHT NOW.
FUCK YOU.
FUCK YOU ALL.
STOP. END. END. GOD DAMN IT, END. END. END. END NOW. oh jesus christ more pointless tits. END ALREADY.

Is this a whole second episode or something? END YOU GODFORSAKEN SON OF A WORTHLESS

... there.

Thank you.

You're Under Arrest 19

...sigh... okay, this is at least sane. Oh man, it feels good to have art with an animation budget going by.

Ooh. More time with Kenny's Dad and Mom.

Miyuki/Motorcycle OTP.

"Whoa. A hot babe works here." "I'll call my husband!" "Husband?" "HEY Y'ALL." *customer screams forever* Woof: "Hey, it's the sound YOU were making through that last episode!"

Mmmmm. Pizza and BBQ ribs and ....octopus skewers. ... Eh, I'd eat it!

Natsumi has stumbled upon the darkest pits of motorcycle repair shop hell.

...she found the mechanic from Patlabor!

"You don't deserve to ride this bike." *leave with* ... what the heeeeell.

Hey, fanservice that doesn't feel forced. It's like a trickle of pure spring water through a haze of flaming sewage.

So I -get- that he's doing all this to teach her a little bit about motorcycle repair and a little bit about the human spirit, but he... like, took her bike hostage to do it. It's kind of a dick move.

And Miyuki's all like... "This carborator repair skill. I know this talent. This skill... surpasses my own. I must meet the man who can do this!" It's like any given shonen anime.

"DON'T TOUCH IT! IT'S EVIL! You can't tame this bike!" "I shall tame this bike." *bold stance*

Of course. Kenny's Dad was trained TEN YEARS AGO by this man! Seriously, if she has to tune up the bike he never finished to make herself the best, this will be like Dragon Bike Z in here.

And Kenny's Dad pushed too hard on the bike he tuned, and fell and went into the hospital, and this mechanic dude's HAT FLEW OFF FROM THE STRESS and he retired FOREVER because ANGST.

Natsumi spouts Generic Insperational Phrases! Her Young Bold Nature shines through! It's SUPER EFFECTIVE.

This is. It's Miyuki's Bizarre Adventure. It's Yu Yu Motorcyclo. It's Yu-Gi-Oh with motorcy... okay, maybe not that one.

We even get a special inset song. And a big bright BLAZING STAR on Natsumi's helmet.

DRAMATIC. SLOW. MOTION.

Aaand episode end. Well. That was Speed Racerrific.

Next episode: Traffic Combat Team OB3 fights EVIL MONSTERS in bright primary colors! Okay yeah I can dig it.

Just this once, I am forced to agree wholeheartedly about Macademi Wasshoi. Episode five was .. I want to go bleach my brain in an attempt to unsee that episode. You know I'm all about shameless, pointless fanservice, but that was just taking something that isn't really sexy at all and raping the audience with it. Not for a cheap gag, which I would probably have gone 'meh' and looked past, hoping the rest of the episode would redeem it somehow, but ON AND ON. If it's in a show like this, it should be (a) sexy (b) funny or at the very least (c) referencing something that IS a or b, and mercifully short.

I feel ill.

I don't think anyone would say you haven't given the series a chance. Go ahead and let the series drop.

...I say, as I torrent it to attempt taking my own go at it. I feel the need to catalog some extreme terribleness. I am probably out of my mind.

We're Tor-menting Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~!

Toooooooooorment! XD

I think the problem here is that I find stereotypes hilarious and for some reason you don't. ^.^;;

I thought that Gordy would like it, and I was wrong. I think you'll hate it! ... I hope I'm wrong again. <3

Actually I don't think I can think of any anime I'd reccomend to you that you haven't already seen, so bravo on that front. ^.^

It might be because they're offensive, puerile, and immature.

I find offensive, puerile and immature things hilarious, yes. ^.^;;

It's like a court fool. You'd have anyone else killed for saying such things but you just laugh at the fool.

Oh dear, you sound offended. :/

Please don't worry about it hon. You obviously hate it with a burning passion that would intimidate a thousand Domon Kasshu's, all for the sake of pure friendship. I wouldn't be a very good friend if I made you keep watching it.

But I don't think you hate everything I enjoy. I enjoy you! *hug?*

Indeed. That stuff may be good for a special or two, but as the basis for an entire series? Even South Park's learned better than that...
