  1. So I just finished Girls und Panzer. It is basically like Patlabor: Good action parts under layers of boring characters and plot with the setting the only real think going for it substance wise. I will give the series credit for not being too fan servicy and trying to be smart with the battles it had. Well, ignoring the lack of combat gear and safety precautions anyway.

  2. Yesterday I started watching the Tatsunoko classic Hurricane Polymar since Anime Sols picked up the series and it is nice and campy, the titular hero reminds me of Bruce Lee. I also watched the first three eps of Girls Und Panzer. Normally I'd rip into this, but I have nothing on this. It is just bland nothing, nothing bad or good (I'll give them credit for not having horrendous music). I swear the hair styles are ripped off from other anime characters. Lack of male characters raises an eyebrow. I will give the creators credit for giving technical aspects. Finally I officially have a new pet peeve in anime: Anime that don't have the opening theme in the beginning of the first episode and use the opening as the ending theme for that episode. Where the hell did this trend start? I really want to know.

  3. I just watched the first episode of Devil Hunter Yohko or as I like to call it typical girly junk as magic girl junk filled with sex junk aka every other magical girl anime ever. Just when you think you understand anime fans they change the rules with their WTF-ness. I say this because apparently this was the first magical girl anime to get a US release; I WOULD have watched this dubbed but NOOOOOOO the only dub vids I could fine just went "Oh we're gonna be out of sync because we can HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" GAH! It is like when Ryujin calls me retarded despite the fact I am not (what I wouldn't give to prove that skunk otherwise). So I had to watch it subbed and it was almost as irritating as I imagined. Too little action, they needed to cut a ton of fan service out and make the main character less of a titanic ditz; I am also ignoring the fact her grandmother sometimes sounds like a 30 year old man. Probably my biggest issue was how cheap it looked, was this made on a budget? I could see a TV series at the time looking like this, but for an OVA it is lackluster and I only expect it to remain the same from here- Oh wait, ep 4 is gonna be one of those awful music video specials. *shrivels* Holy frick how did US folks that watched this back in the day not have a high aversion to magical girls after this? My only guess is that later episodes are at least better than this junk. One thing I will give this is that the pacing is somewhat good and the ending theme is kind of okay.
