Fire/Normal Lion Pokemon.

I swear to God if they fuck up its evolution(s?) I'm going to buy the games angrily.

I think the Malshina fanservice in the first six episodes would have been enough to cover all twelve if they'd've spread it out.  As it stands now, I was actually relieved when they shortened her henshin recently.  I should never be relieved to not see a sexy naked woman.

Anyway aside from the overkill fanservice and complete lack of any hints or explanation as to the actual plot up until now*, it's been pretty much just as good as the last season.

*In fairness, the previous season did as well - it was in retrospect, after the reveal that they were characters in a show, that all the things that were wrong became clear.

Finally catching up on shows.  Specifically Garo.  I'm still a little upset at the limited suit action (half why I watch toku) and the lack of decent monsters up to Ep 8 is particularly irritating.  That said, I'm kinda of liking the slightly more character-driven style this new season has taken.  It's lost a little of that novel artsy feel you get from the other two seasons in favor of a more standard style (right down to the trope-tastic trio of heroes + girl sidekick and elder mentor), but I don't feel like it's sacrificed any real integrity to do so.  I'm still having a blast watching it.

I haven't watched the raw for Ep 9 (waiting on translation) but the comments on it over at O-T suggest it fixes the hell out of the lack of suit action thing.

Wizard is fucking dull and disappointing anyways.

God.  I want to like it, I really do.  But the plot doesn't feel like it's moving, none of the obvious questions have even been hinted at being answered, Beast feels completely tacked-on for the sake of yet another toy, and it's all just so by-the-numbers in general that I just can't get into it.

Not that I'm complaining about topless chicks.  I <3 tits.

But aside from arousing people... what exactly is the point?  A worthless show of parity in a completely ineffectual and borderline degrading manner?

I still gotta catch up on Garo a bit - behind three episodes - but yeah so far it's been kinda meh.  Visually it's pretty awesome but its's got none of the gravity the earlier series had.  I refer back to my fears about the show after the whole bride thing in Ep. 1.

Ah well.  At least Akibaranger is being more awesome than I could have possibly hoped.  And here I thought after the 2meta4u Season 1, they'd never be able to both entertain and engross me again.  Oh how silly of me to think that.

Iron Man 3

A otherwise solid movie that choked on its own special effects, completely dropped an interesting plot point, and screwed up the hero's iconic villain in a valiant but ultimately stupid effort.  It entertains, and very well, but is noticeably flawed.

7/10

I'm iffy on the goofy-looking electro-dog thingy.

But the bird is nice, the panda could be nifty, and oh my god I want one of those goats.

Character designs are solid, too.  I get the distinct feeling the female PC is going to get 34'd to hell and back, though.

It's really hard to find an oldschool exploitation movie that isn't "so bad it's good".  If you can get away with a lot of nudity, then Death Race 2000 is absolutely worth a look.  As previosly mentioned, virtually any early Troma movie is also viable.  I suggest Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD and the more modern Poultrygeist.

Also, I will kill the next motherfucker who says The Warriors is a bad movie.  >:C

It's entirely possible I'm missing something about her.  I've never touched the books, just the show.  I disliked her in the first season.  I found her to be an easily manipulated weakling with misplaced affection and loyalties - she just got lucky that Drogo was benevolent and legitimately cared for her.

She didn't get tolerable until after Drogo died.  She'd fooled herself so much into loving Drogo that his death hardened her up (she was young, impressionable, and pregnant - there's no way she was really in love with Drogo, it was all puppy love and hormones).  At that point all that mattered was the fact she had power (if only a little), and independence, and damnit, she was going to use that power to protect people and, most importantly of all, to go back to a home she barely remembers for no real reason beyond it's what her brother had driven into her head.

Now she thinks she's freed a bunch of brainwashed slaves who don't know the meaning of freedom.  I don't think she understands what they went through at all if she really thinks they'd up and join her at the words "You're free now, now will you follow me?"  Of course they'll follow you, they're loyal to you, you bought them you idiot.  They're doing exactly what you were told they'd do - follow your every order to the letter.

I mean, what she did was great and all, and I'm interested in seeing where she goes from here, but I'm not a big fan of her specifically.  Rather, I want to know what role she plays in the overall story.

Again, I'm probably missing a lot from not reading the books.  This is the impression given to me, my interpretation, from the show.

I'm about 95% certain the Accel movie is post-W in its entirety.  Speaking of, it's the only one I haven't watched.  I need to find a working torrent or something because I really want to watch it.

Fang sees pretty limited use.  It'll pop up a few times, generally well-utilized, but in the end it felt kind of superfluous.

What interests me more is if Fang is compatible with the Lost Driver.  I'd freaking love to see even a one-off Kamen Rider Fang instance.

I'll give it a chance, if only because I enjoyed the first couple of games.

Is there anyone who watches this who does NOT absolutely freaking love Daenerys?

*raises hand*

I find her to be an annoying child.  Slaves this, throne that, set on a path where her ultimate goal is to retake a throne for no other reason than "I used to live there".

I don't have her, though.  Other than being partially blinded by her pointless quest, she's an okay kid.  I just don't like her either.

well, personaly if i had the money i would order the green ranger and wizard
I might go that route.  I can always try and snag Red later down the line.  I just really want a companion for Megazord.

also, i jelly at ur megazord *pout*
I highly recommend it.  The die cast metal gives it an amazingly satisfying amount of chunkyness.  I like to pick it up about an inch and let it fall to its feet every once in a while just to feel the weight and hear that satisfying sound when it lands.  If you ever find yourself sitting on a fair bit of disposable income and/or no other toku figures are really speaking to you, it's a worthy piece to add to your collection.

@GARO
Okay so.

Am I the only one who feels like they've decided to drop the mature tone of the previous series/movies in this one?  The last seasons were both brutal and visually stunning.  This one is every bit as visually amazing (1080p over at Over-Time is worth every byte), but has lost that more grown-up edge I enjoyed.

I also kind of miss the traditional "episode one breasts", but that's a rather small quibble.  <_<

Anyway.  This is of course only episode one, the next 23 may completely dash my fears.  Those are just my thoughts thus far.

I am incontinent with indignant fan-rage.

I will show them my dissatisfaction at this choice by scowling while I shell out for copies of both X and Y on release day.  Furthermore I shall give my rival a bad name.  Not even funny, just bad.  That'll show'em.
