Well, that was an ordeal. And not an entirely pleasant one.
Fifty-one episodes of TV-Y7 dub edits, corny dialogue, bad jokes, pointless flasrabroadacks, and villians the likes of Lance, the Pudding HeaRAB, the Big Butt Bandits, and that one guy who kept talking about his high school French class.
Granted some of the character designs were pretty good (*coughReinacough*) and the female characters were pretty cute (*coughReinaagaincough*) but in all honesty this show was pretty mediocre, and that was on good weeks. Subpar animation, needless stretching of pointless stories (re: the movie star idiot from "Sound of Thunder") and finally, an ending that isn't with multiple subplots unresolved.
Most of these problems are intensified by the English dub which is THE WORST THING EVER COMMITTED TO AN ANIME ADAPTATION!!!
I mean, what was Bob Buchholz thinking?! You can't just insert random lines into an anime and expect the viewers to think it's funny!! I mean, sure it worked with Bobobo, but that was because IT WAS A COMEDY!!! THIS IS ACTION!! THE JOKES DON'T WORK!!!
The lack of an ending is a problem for me in itself. I wanted that subplot with Reina and the Silver thingie to go somewhere.
Crap.
Oh well. Thanks to Don_East, Gatomon41, zoorabie, GWOtaku, NelStone, warnerbroman, Mad Mod 40 and anyone else I might have forgotten to mention for enduring the pain with me.
I think I'll take Ani-Monday off next week to begin the healing process.
Oh yeah, gotta squeeze one more in here for the road...
