Where I go on about a series of episodes on a single DVD, and possibly the quality of said disc.

Gravion, 3rd DVD Down

Posted on July 21, 2008 by Ubu Roi

I can see why Steven couldn’t figure out if this show was serious, or badly done parody. There were a couple of good multi-episode arcs here, but I thought the next to the last battle of the first series was … Continue reading →

Gravion, Sorta Twittered

Posted on July 11, 2008 by Ubu Roi

So far, I’m getting a very Godannar-ish vibe after two episodes, and that’s not good. Luna is cute, but she’s no Shizuru. Yeah, cute. NSFW Lamerosity: the speed with which a show becomes lame and predictable. And they’re — uh, … Continue reading →

Yatchan & Rushuna

Posted on December 29, 2007 by Ubu Roi

So my vacation has taken me by Dr. Heinous’ place now. I got him Grenadier for Xmas, and we’re watching it now. Veddy interesting. And silly. Definitely got more of a plot than you expect from the beginning. More later. … Continue reading →
