What the hell!? What cheap shit was that? Picked this up from where I left of who knows how many months ago and watched eps 21-24. The baddie practically had all seven stones he was looking for, this super strong dude pulled the stone guardian out of whatever dimension he was in and took the [...]

  When did M Night Shyamalan start writing for A-1? Impressions: I really wonder if A-1 has a single editor that looks over these scripts. "Ha ha! I can attack you because I destroyed your book!" "Ha ha! That book was a fake!" "Ha ha! I can attack you anyway!" My favorite bad writing of the episode was when Mikaze [...]

UK satellite channel Pop Girl (Sky channel 626 / Freesat channel 604) will begin airing the English dub version of Pretty Cure on Monday 6th September. Daily showing will be at 7:00am, 5:30pm and 8:30pm (with the channel's +1 variant screening them one hour later, as you'd expect). My love for the Japanese original means I'll probably only watch out of a morbid sense of curiosity as to how bad the adaptation can be (memories of Tokyo Mew Mew's hackjob still pain me), but at least one channel is giving anime a decent outing...

Otaku! Return to the Darkness from whenst you came! In early-ish 2009, Pretty Cure All Stars DX hit the movie theaters in Japan. Sometime later, it finally made it’s way to a more western audience (which is like, everybody. Since Japan is to the FAR east). I got the movie, watched it, and then I [...]

All the Cures and two not-Cures. That's a lot of Cures. The one for cancer has got to be in there somewhere.

This was a pretty random pick-up for me. I mean, my prior experience with the whole Pretty Cure franchise comes down to having seen about half of the original series prior to all the legal streaming sites blocking it from UK access – and by half the original series, I mean half of the original [...]

I like Toei… or at least some parts of it. They can come up with quite original premises and well executed series. But whenever they market the living heck out of their series I just tune out. Six Digimon series, seven Precure series and god knows how many more movies. Heartcatch Precure really was one [...]

EPIC, thy name is Pretty Cure All Star DX. Yeah, so I saw and I’m rewatching and rewatching the Pretty Cure All Star Deluxe movie, and I’mma gonna do a review for it for Mecha Guignol, but first, a short, sharp lesson! The ways I figure it, you don’t need to be a huge fan of PreCure [...]

Ia Ia Pu-ri-kyu-a! The 7th entry to the Pretty Cure franchise, I know this because the main girl, Tsubomi wore a shirt with a “7″ on the back. And we all know the only reason why anybody would wear a number on their shirt in anime (unless it’s a pun on their own or the series [...]

I also wanted to name this post “DTO at Crunchyroll” and “A better Sailor Moon”. It sure was a fun whirlwind of pleasurable corniness. First of all, the DTO. I was pleasantly surprised to find it and immediately downloaded a 400 MB file… Which turned out to be a 480-tall XviD ripped from a VHS tape, [...]
