Ayy I just finished Korra today. All of books 3 and 4 are freaking fantastic and the finale was beautiful.

Just started watching this on Netflix because it (along with Red Dwarf, which I plan on starting soon) is still going to be removed at the end of the month (despite some of BBC's other series getting their licenses renewed). I'm a bit underwhelmed so far (though that's because my expectations were pretty ****ing high), but it's still pretty funny and I've only watched the first episode so far. I'll stick with this for now. Just finished watching the first season of this, and I really like it so far. I was planning on starting the US series after finishing the next season of this, but I'm a bit hesitant to do so now. Last edited by Chrysalis; 01-19-2015 at 01:54 AM. |

Gundam 00 might have melodramatic characterizations, silly speachifying, and many other bad anime tropes, but damn if the action isn't dynamic. With the decent bass in my speakers, otherwise overblown giant robot battles are just kind of cool as ****. The opening scene, with less stylized mobile suits systematically annihilating a city, while a religious zealot on a loudspeaker preaches merciless intolerance, is stark and dramatic in a surprisingly mature way. Of course, after that the show becomes shiny, over-designed robots duking it out in the prescribed fashion, but the choreography or the battle scenes, and production values manage to elevate the show above its cliched excesses. The basic gist is still "War = bad; Peace = good", but at least the ideas are presented in a vaguely interesting and original way. Might have to finish it. Just stay away from the dubs. No matter how melodramatic the Japanese voice actors might be, at least they're better than the American dub actors. It's not always such a big deal, but with a show this melodramatic, there's a fine line between cheesy and just plain awful.

Still mulching through The Sopranos whenever I'm bored.

Both are pretty gross at times, I'll give you that. And I guess they both smoke weed, but it seems like every new show has stoners on it nowadays. Viva la revolution!
