Return of the Anime.
OKAY.
We are BACK. We're doing this. We're doing this LIVE. Let's go with hot-blooded anime! We've digitally inserted Dogtanian, an early kid's-show animation about fencing dogs starring MOTHERFUCKING CAM CLARKE my mortal archnemesis, in our mysteriously empty slot.
Ha ha ha! Based on Alexandre Dumas! I will kill you Cam Clarke. I will forge a sword with my own blood used only to duel you.
Let's get started on Happy Returning Anime 5,000! We're runnin' this, let's go.
Legend of Galactic Heroes 42
A brief pause while we re-read the summaries... which make reference to re-reading the summaries. A-hah. A-hahaha. Ahem.
We begin! ... Julian is asleep! His biological clock is ticking! Wait.
Awww. He's still fussing over Yang even while several hundred thousand miles away.
"If you're defeated while you're asleep, future historians will laugh at you." "Wake me up when they're born, I'll talk with them." Yaaaaaang.
Julian slowly approaches Phezzan, soliloquizing all the way.
Louis has a GREAT pumpkin-colored sweater. ...and... Julian is attracting squealing fangirls.
...did Julian just use clothing-shopping as an excuse to explore the economic past and future of the planet? Gwah.
"I'm sure they're getting information from hidden informants. Like that guy, across the street."
Phezzan is an OCEAN OF PEACE! *wave arms* ....my ass. Although I am amused that this guy is all "HAHAHA... Uh, guys? Laugh with me!"
J-Julian... attention. You are the center of it.
Spy dude: *sigh* *go outside* *get on phone* "Yeah, boss? Yang worked everything out. Again. Yeah. All of it."
...Hooooly crap that is the most drugged out holy man I've ever seen.
Big sweeping promises connected to big sweeping plans.
Oh meanwhile there were space battles and training. *handwave* Huge military operations just FADE into the background of this show.
W-WHOA. Oberstein complaining to REINHARD that his measures may be TOO MACHIVELLIAN. That is EPIC pot/kettle.
"What we're going to do is wave our hands around over HERE and then kick them in the nuts over HERE while they're looking at us funny."
Cao Cao's "I have so many fuckin' generals, dude" strategy. Reinhard knows it.
"...And defense will be handled by Admiral Mecklinger and his porn mustache."
Alliance: "It's not like anyone has ever CAPTURED Iserlohn oh WAIT we're MORONS."
"Sir, I'm worried that this is a ruse." "What do you mean?" "I'm worried that WE'RE FACING FUCKING REINHARD. He'll stab us from eight directions at once and there will be TEN KNIVES SOMEHOW."
Theory theory theory.. "ARE YOU SAYING COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE TAKING BRIBES FROM PHEZZAN!" "Actually I said no such thing but I'm curious where YOU got that."
Yang, meanwhile, plans to hide a fleet in open space and ambush them somehow. 'Cause Yang.
"So I hear the captain lost to Yang at cards!" "I hear he lost to one of the generals." "I hear he's gay for Julian." "I HEAR SIX BILLION INCOMING ENEMY SHIPS HOLY CRAP." "...you win."
"Let's stop sending out the Ulysses on patrol. They keep bringing back enemy ships." "Actually, when we send out the Ulysses, I'll just upgrade our alert level by one. It never fails."
And so Operation Ragnarok starts. Everyone's boned. Sigh.
Next episode: Yang drinks a lot of tea and sits on his computer console.
Gun X Sword 9
Okay... so last time Joshua joined the party to come look for Ray and to add tech analysis and PERKY PERKY to the party. Also they defeated the Midgar Zolom without a Gameshark. HAX. GRINDING.
aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAA HORNS FLUTE INTRO. Josh takes his slot in the intro. He's a real character now.
Episode 9 is about... Carmen99. And her FLYING CAR. Woo.
It takes talent to hitch a ride from a flying car.
"Ugh. Hey Van. Hey Wendy." "HELLO! MY NAME IS JOSHUA!" "Oh fucking god there's more of them."
"Josh? Get out of the car." "We're hundreds of feet up!" "I know. Get out of the car." "VAN, STOP TRYING TO KILL OUR COMIC RELIEF."
Well. This looks like a nice little town. "Trinolia". It's like a Magnolia except it has three flowers instead of one. (I am not making this up.)
Wow. The entire town luvs Carmen99. Or "Carul", as she claims not to be.
"Hiiii~~~".
And Van adds -all- the cream and sugar to his coffee. Oh, Van.
There's plot points happening, I think, something about the flowers, but Van keeps distracting me.
Uncle Findley! You're old! And tiny! Analyze this for me.
"We're gonna dress Josh like a maid and make him work his ass off. Everyone cool with that?" "Yep."
...and then they FOLD VAN UP and pack him in a wheelbarrow to carry on the back of a bike. AWWW.
I'm hoping Carul's old friend "Hayetah" doesn't have a SYMBOLIC NAME or anything.
"Let's call him 'Spic and Span Josh'!" "...what no. Please." "Whatever you say, S&S Josh!"
"Hey Hayetah, let's go back to our secret place from when we were young!" "Uh no let's not. All the plants are dead. In spite of everything else in town thriving. ... Yeah."
Mmmhmm. And Hayetah is working for THE CLAAAAW.
*van wakes up* *turtle* "AAAAAAAAUGH."
...And yeah, Wendy sniffs the flowers, gets sick, passes out... uh-huh. Inevitably. The flowers are probably ..yup, poisonous.
Carmen's job: DESTROY ALL FLOWERS. Like the ones in the SECRET GARDEN. Yeah.
"Van, what do we do?! She's having weird psychotropic reactions!" "...derp?"
"Hayetah. I want to draw attention briefly to my GREAT ASS. And now I'm gonna lecture you for a while." "Thanks, Carul."
CHOOOODENJI YO-YO!
"Yeah, Hayetah, your dad's pretty much killing himself because you were a selfish jackass."
At least he took off the copy protection on this circuit board first. You had to flip the little tab.
And now all the townspeople hate her. Woooo.
This is one of those shows where the character development is just to make it hurt more, isn't it.
Still... Hayetah seems to feel better about things. That's probably good.
Next time on Gun X Sword... uh, Van meets a French sailor in a bathroom stall. ... ... ... moving on.
Kamen Rider Den-O 41
Right! This was the start of the episodes where I don't understand shit! But there's a particle cannon!
...holy wow. EPIC SLAPSTICK ATTACK. Yuuto WINS FOREVER. Ryoutarou didn't even get hit in the nuts by anything.
D-did Deneb just crap a load of candy at being told Yuuto was written out of history? Wow.
"It was just a what-if episode, Deneb. Don't get so upset."
Everyone steals candy now! ...but Deneb is emo.
CLI-MAX JUMP! I've MISSED you, awesome rocking theme song!
T-they have replaced the title sequence with ... awesome moments from the show cut with the cast cocking about at a theme park. this is awesome.
Oh, wait, this is a theme park episode. Okay.
Aaah. Yuuto reappeared because his memories are tied to the timeline, not himself... or something. He just needed an anchor. Yay Ryoutarou.
Sakurai, though... no one seems to know what HE'S doing. Nor Kai.
...okay, Yuuto and Ryoutarou in the world's slowest go-kart race is ADORABLE. ... so is them earnestly discussing the defense of the timeline while riding the merry-go-round as Yuuto clutches a plush pikachu. Japanese theme parks are WEIRD and COOL.
I think this was the best five minute sequence in the show.
Deneb is of course now overprotective of Yuuto.
...he shows this by taking over his body and sending Yuuto's body out to distribute candy in his sleep. So everyone will remember him, no doubt. Sigh.
"It's dangerous to go alone. Take this." *candy* *coat*
Extended bowing sequences. The backbone of Japanese comedy.
In the meantime, Ryoutarou totally fails to learn the sword-catching technique. (Ryuutaros: "HEAD!" *whack*)
Owner is still better than everyone here. ...wait, did that really just give a *waaah waaah waaaaaah* trumpetmute?
...this poor girl is gonna bump into Yuuto during the day and completely disillusion.
Why do Yuuto and Deneb live in some apartment, now? *blink* Did I miss something?
"Hey! Yuuto! Let's go to the park." "No. You're plotting something." "I'm not plotting ANYTHING." "...why are people following me asking for more Deneb candy?" "THERE IS NO REASON." "DENEEEEEEEB!"
Whoops Imagin appears.
This episode: Yuuto gets tentacle raped.
Battle: Imagin Squid, GO.
Oops. This battle is Momotaros VS his own motorcycle. *facepalm*
MOMO DOUBLE HEADBUTT.
....awwww! His bike hit an exploding barrel! Bastards are always leaving those laying around.
"It seems the contract holder's wish is to be brought Yuuto." "Yay! Someone knows you!" *glared at*
Next episode: A desperate attempt to make Yuuto rememebered so he can't vanish when he uses up all his cards. Sigh.
We are BACK. We're doing this. We're doing this LIVE. Let's go with hot-blooded anime! We've digitally inserted Dogtanian, an early kid's-show animation about fencing dogs starring MOTHERFUCKING CAM CLARKE my mortal archnemesis, in our mysteriously empty slot.
