Now for an anime review. Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Please don't get me wrong. I really like this anime.

Its got epic battles,

 an interesting story line,

and some fan service, but not enough to distract from everything else.




 




All that aside, it isn't the BEST anime out there. I know I might piss a few people off saying this, but I think that it could be a lot better.

Now before you all start lining up to throw rocks at my house, let me clarify.

Its not that its a bad anime. I just think that there are a few tweaks. It gets really preachy, has episodes that go no where, and an antagonist that needs to either grow some balls, or shut the hell up.

Seriously. Any time Shinji (The main character) starts to whine about.... well, fucking ANYTHING, I go straight to the liquor cabinet. Odds are, by the time Ive finished my third shot, he will finally be done bitching.

When I first saw NGE I thought Oh cool! A giant mech anime that isn't Gundam! and even in the first episode, I got to see a giant monster thing wrecking Japans shit. AWESOME...

Then I got, what, three episodes of exposition? I remember thinking that the next fight better be awesome, or I'm gong to lose it. The next fight came, and it was... just okay...

To be perfectly honest, at that time I stopped watching. It wasn't until a few years later, that I went back and finished watching the series.

I'm all for an artistic anime, with a message, but I think NGE just took it too far. Its not a bad anime, mind, but its not the greatest. Ive heard that they rebooted, and I haven't had a chance to watch the new stuff, so maybe they fixed a lot. Ill let you know what I think when I see it, but to be honest, I'm not that amped to go sit through it. The first series sapped that out of me.

Ok, there's my 2 cents. You may now start spamming me with hate mail. I will still love you.

Here's to anime

F

So last night I had a great time with the combination of Bacardi 151 and a lighter. Which brings me to my topic of the letter F.

                                                            FIRE BREATHING!

It may be immature, and dangerous but I had a blast acting as a dragon. Dragons are cool, and don't you forget it. ^_^

 As soon as I can, I will upload some funny videos to my YouTube page (http://www.youtube.com/user/JadeKitsune1?feature=mhee) But until then I shall leave you with this.

I AM ADAM THE DRAGON, AND I BREATH FIRE!!! MWAHAHAHA

Here's to AWESOME!

B

So for the letter B today, I'm going to talk about something that starts with B... Anime.

To be more specific, Bleach.

Now, don't get me wrong, I really like Bleach. The idea of people fight evil ghosts with big ass swords, and flying around beating the shit out of each other? FUCKING AWESOME!

Seriously, sign me up. I would die right now if I could be a sword wielding, ghost busting, super spirit.

My problem is... What does the name Bleach have to do with anything? The good guys aren't named Bleach. The bad guys aren't evil stains in white clothing. The main character isn't even a Bleach blond. He has red hair.

So that's my main problem with it. (that and its a lot like Yu Yu Hakasho, which in turn is a lot like Dragon Ball Z, but I'm not nit picking.) Its a fun and entertaining show, just with a confusing title.






Here's to wondering.

Rant Time

Ok. Time for another rant.
I have no problem with the advertisements being placed in web videos now. In fact, I like that YouTube even allows us to skip the longer ads. This is not what my rant is about.
My rant is about the ads they put. I was just watching the new Nostalgia Critic (www.thatguywiththeglasses.com) and they cut to commercials in the middle. Again, I am ok with this. But the damn commercials are so fucking dumb.
The first was a yogurt commercial and the first thing that happens is a mother telling her daughter "Why don't you go get us some Yoplett. FIRST OF ALL: Who the FUCK actually uses the brand names. Realistically the mother would say, "Hey, go get some yogurt." If you use the brand name, please don't reproduce... You have clearly been brainwashed by advertising.
SECONDLY (oh yes, I have more points) The kid takes forever and the mom just looks around and says "I have no idea where she could be."

... THIS. MOTHER. IS. HORRIBLE!

If your kid went missing in the store, the cops would be called even before you looked around. I know that its a horrible realization that our first opinion is that our kid has been abducted, but that's the age we live in. Hell, I worked in retail long enough to know that parents barley look for their kids before they come crying to the management about "Oh my kids gone missing." So, no. I do not believe that this mother would be, like, "Huh, where or where did my per-teen daughter, who I wont even let use Facebook by herself yet, wander off to in this giant store?"

NO SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF HERE ADVERTISER.

Now on to my last point, which, to be fair is just me nit picking, but, When did the Green Giant become no longer jolly?
When I was a kid it was the Jolly Green Giant. Now its just the Green Giant. Why is he not jolly anymore? What happened? Is it something we did? Is it because kids don't like vegetables, so now that Jolly Green Giant is sad?


I for one and sorry Mr. Giant, and would like to know how to make you happy once more.


That's it from me. Ill see y'all next time.
