  • Star Wars Rebels (Season 2)

    —

    ,

    I know the show is currently in the midst of season 3, but I just recently watched the last few episodes of season 2, and enjoyed them quite a lot. I continue to think that adult Ahsoka is the coolest Star Wars character, and so it’s a joy to have her play an important role…

  • Pacific Heat

    ,

    This popped up on Netflix last week, an Archer-like from Australia. I watched the first 2 episodes, and gotta say it’s pretty damn funny – at first I felt a bit uneasy about the mocking Asian accents, but you eventually get that they’re making fun of that stereotype. I still haven’t gotten around to watching…

  • The Grand Tour

    —

    ,

    There was a time when I really liked watching Top Gear. And then, as the seasons went on, I started getting pretty tired of Clarkson’s nationalist and sexist remarks – meant as jokes, but not funny – and then after he did the thing that got him fired, I was pretty much over this ass.…

  • 11.22.63

    ,

    This came out earlier this year, but it’s just been added to Hulu Japan, and so we watched the first episode today (which is the only episode available, as they’ll be releasing them weekly). Based on that first episode alone, it’s hard to tell if this is going to good or not (I’ve avoided reading…

  • Dallos

    ,

    Next up in my 80s anime stroll — I’m not necessarily following the exact order given in the primer, and instead watching stuff when I’m in the mood for it — is Dallos, which has the distinction of being the very first OVA (“original video animation,” or direct-to-video, if you will) ever released. It’s also…

  • Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories

    —

    ,

    I’ve been meaning to mention this series for a while now, that I’ve really enjoyed on Netflix. Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories is a wonderful series that sees a rotating cast of characters (with a few regulars, and fun cameos by Jo Odagiri) as they pop up at a bar/diner that only opens from midnight to…

  • Lupin the Third (2015)

    —

    ,

    As I mentioned in my post about re-watching The Castle of Cagliostro, it got my in a Lupin mood, and so after watching a bit from the early shows I’ve now settled on watching a series that aired last year. Simply called Lupin the Third, it’s considered the fifth Lupin series, and is set in…

  • The Super Dimension Fortress Macross

    —

    ,

    I recently noticed that the Robotech series from the 80s was added to Netflix (in Canada), and so I thought I’d start watching it. I have memories of really liking the series back when I was kid, but also that I had barely watched any of it, probably because it was only available on cable,…
