Hey Japan? You like Bubblegum Crisis don’t ya? Me too. Hey, wouldn’t it be cool if there was like a Knight Sabers movie or at worst maybe an adequate AD Police feature? Ooh! It could have a gritty story portrayed by well rounded protagonists as it waxes all preachy-like! Best of all it could be like a love letter to Blade Runner so the franchise could find it’s way back to its roots and be appropriately about finding the amazingly beautiful spark of humanity in… Continue reading →

So I’ve seen enough mad women in my time (through no fault of my own, mind you) that when they stab THEMSELVES in the head with a little data comb thingy you should already be running.

Oh, right, and being attacked by a high-level conspiracy… Continue reading →

My number #5… Let’s press the issue that is Excel Saga! (opening chunk of episode 1, note after Excel’s death you overhear people in the crowd say things like “I can’t believe they killed the main character in the first scene!” and “Is the story going to be okay?!”) Let’s… Continue reading →

A.D. Police – To Serve & Protect: And to SUCK horribly

Normally, I’m wacky for police dramas as they were a huge part of my evening viewing during my formative years and adding in robots gone awry normally makes everything better, but apparently that’s not always the case. I realize that I’ve been tossing up anime that I praise and since I touched on BGC I feel it’s only fair that I explore the dark side of enjoying that particular franchise and the consequences that such folly merits. Let’s start with one of its more contemporary… Continue reading →
