True Detective, an enigmatic creative roller coaster, from both a quality standpoint and a content standpoint. Having had a day to digest episode 7 (I spent my Sunday night watching the Oscars and still haven’t seen the last 10 minutes of Dynamo Daryl Dixon’s Dirty Dance of Death) and had a glance around the Internet,…
Welcome to animation quick look where I review of a few episodes of an animated show be it from foreign lands or home grown. In The Devil is a Part-Timer! (yes the exclamation point is part of the actual title) tells the tale of a demon king named Satan. He attempts to take over the…
Welcome to animation quick look, where I watch several episodes of anything from popular Cartoon Network shows to obscure Japanese animation and tell you if it’s worth checking out. Adventure Time is a goddamn phenomenon. It’s on Hot Topic T-Shirts and has several video games to it’s name. It has fans of all ages. Not…
So when it comes to true crime TV drama, I’m obviously tough to please. At this point, I’ve seen all of The Wire, and I’ve seen all of The Shield. So if something new is coming at me in the same vein, I’m instinctively looking at them by comparing them to the best of what…
After digesting the fifth installment of True Detective, I finally felt the satisfied sense of contentment that I get after I’ve watched compelling TV. I still feel that the first three episodes, with clunky ridiculous dialogue and tired late 30s white male detective with issues tropes, were a long, long way away from being even…
Welcome to animation quick look, where I watch several episodes of something animated and tell you if it’s worth your time. I’ve seen some of the anime that crossed over and became a hit in the US, but Samurai Champloo evaded me, most likely because it was on at odd hours as part of adult…
I was all set to rip the shit out of True Detective this week. I’d given it a reprieve two weeks ago, probably against my better judgement. There was no episode on Super Bowl Sunday, allowing all of my problems with the show to fester and ferment into a cross-pollinated fireball of alcohol-fueled bacterial malaise…
Welcome to animation quick look, where I watch a few episodes of something animated and tell you if it’s worth investing your time in. After trying something western and something my wife really enjoys I wanted to try a show more in my comfort zone. I think everyone has a formula they really enjoy even…
Welcome to animation quick look, where I watch a few episodes of something animated be it anime, Saturday morning cartoon or something more along the lines of Archer or Family guy and tell you if it’s worth your time. Ouran High School Host Club is honestly what would probably happen if someone from Japan watched…
Welcome to Animation Quick Look, where in short I watch a few episodes of something animated and tell you if it’s worth a damn. While just because of the breadth of content this column will mostly feature Japanese anime. I will definitely be reviewing stuff from other countries if possible, even surprisingly stuff from Northern…
