Toon Zone Talkback - "Sgt. Frog" The Invasion Has Begun!

Yeah, I don't quite know how I'll feel ten years from now...


I seriously can't devote money to three hundred episodes of this, either.


Good thing FUNimation gave this to me for free...
 
Just got and started part two, and right at the start of 14, we get this little gem:

"I told you, I'm not you're mommy; you're just mine until we get the ransom."

Lovely.
 
"We promise this episode is better than X-Men 3" makes up for it. As does the Exo-Squad references, which I'll be talking about in my Part 2 review coming sometime next week.
 
The Exo-squad reference made me call up my friend and tell him to get the set just for that reason.
 
Exo-Squad huh? Guess that was one of those 326 references that flew over my head. :P

Granted, I usually enjoy Funi's added comedy, but the supposed kidnapper and Stockholm syndrome-afflicted girl left a needlessly sour taste in my mouth. Not just because it's kinda heavy, but because of how it really come out of nowhere. Most of the added jokes work with the images on-screen or the subject matter, like Gundams and all that. The most annoying jokes are the ones that don't mesh with anything happening, especially when they're standing around smiling and talking about some abnormal thing. That's why I liked Bobobo with it's wacky images and ad-lib corabined, but hated Duel Masters for the opposite reason: jokes with straight faces.
