DVD-A-Day 12 – Ah! My Goddess TV Season 1 disc 6 Thursday, June 4th, 2009

And there's the season done. A bit surprised that it only took the first two episodes on the disc to finish up the sudden plot, but I guess I should have seen that the actual series was only 24 episodes and the last two were DVD-only specials. Perfectly ...

DVD-A-Day 11 – Ah! My Goddess TV Season 1 disc 5 Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

Augh! Super goofy relationship-advancing horny-potioned Belldandy episode, goofy-but-sweet relationship-advancing gender-switched Keiichi episode, melancholy Urd super-character-development episode, OMG-RETARDEDLY-PLOY-HEAVY-EPISODE. While Marller's been there on and off this season, and has really brought the only bit resembling an ongoing plot to the mix, there ...

DVD-A-Day 10 – Ah! My Goddess TV Season 1 disc 4 Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Hrm, there's the robot, Banpei, guess I did catch up to where I'd read with the last disc. We have a rather meandering set of episodes here, mostly wandering around, but providing some secondary character development and, notably in the last episode on the disc, moving ...

DVD-A-Day 9 – Ah! My Goddess TV Season 1 disc 3 Monday, June 1st, 2009

And yet more A!MG this afternoon as I transition over to shorter 4-episode discs, which means easier to squeeze in, which means easier to keep up with this, woo. Serving mainly to bring our two other primary characters, the demon Mara/Marller and Belldandy's little ...

DVD-A-Day 8 – Ah! My Goddess TV Season 1 disc 2 Sunday, May 31st, 2009

Oops, fell asleep watching this one last night :\ Managed to finish it up this morning before work though, close enough! Seems its gotten its hooks into me after all, and I won't just be popping it in occasionally. Probably for the best, really, would hate to ...

DVD-A-Day 7 – George Carlin: Complaints and Greivances Saturday, May 30th, 2009

Never expected to receive this for a Christmas present, but I did, so there you go. I do love Carlin's stuff, and I've only ever listened to bits of this one, so it was quite a nice treat to watch him give the full thing. Recorded less than ...

DVD-A-Day 6 – Karas: The Revelation Friday, May 29th, 2009

Hrm, well, that meandered a bit for the first third or so in presenting us with some back story on our lead. Sure, it helped flesh things out and clarified other parts as well, but in doing so it brought the extra-insane action of the first disc to a ...

DVD-A-Day 5 – Karas: The Prophecy Friday, May 29th, 2009

Heh, figures I'd break the streak in the first week. Ah well, that just gives me opportunity to tackle a 2-parter in one shot, so in goes Karas, a 40th anniversary OVA production by Tatsunoko that popped up a couple years ago whose box art looked somewhat ...

DVD-A-Day 4 – Ah! My Goddess TV Season 1 disc 1 Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Who doesn't know the story of Ah! My Goddess? Boy has tough life. Boy accidentally dials Goddess Help Line. Boy turns Goddess into eternal companion. Hijinks ensue. One of the classics. Unlike the OVA (which barrels through the initial portion of the plot) and the movie ...

DVD-A-Day 3 – Princess Minerva Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Let's see... a D&D-style fantasy with a questionable plot, short runtime, loads of violent women wearing a minimum of clothing, the oh-ho-ho-ho laugh, nonstop 'funny' moments (with full gag soundboard), a random musical number, almost zero character development, and the occasional set of tits. Yup, this is a 90s ...
