Sailor Moon Crystal

This... is AWSOME!!!! I absolutely LOVE Sailor Moon!! And... WOW!
This adaptation of the original Sailor Moon manga. I mean, Come ON, THIS IS SO COOL!!!!.
For those of you that don't know the story, I'll give you the skinny.
14 year old Usagi Tsukino is your everyday teenage girl in present day Japan. On her way to school, she runs into a black cat named Luna, who reveals to her she is the legendary Sailor Moon. Of course, I don't need to go too much into it, Sailor Moon, being a popular (at least famous) anime. But OH, it's so good.

Wander Over Yonder

 

I am perfectly aware this is a recent show, but I can't help liking this show. It's like if Disney did Adventure Time. Okay, that's a lame, comparison. Well, it runs on the same field of nonsense and fun.

 

Anyway, created by Craig McCracken, first airing last year, Wander Over Yonder follows a nomad optimistic hippy... thing named Wander, and his friend Sylvia, a... Zbornak (?) traveling the universe, helping whoever they can, having fun, and somehow manage to stop Lord Hater and his Watchdogs from taking over the universe. It's so fun to watch!
Unfortunatly, Disney has moved it to Disney XD. Why? I love this show!!

Marvelous Melmo (Fushigi na Melmo)

This is a series I enjoy. Fushigi Na Melmo, or Marvelous Melmo is an anime series from 1972 created by Osamu Tezuka, and it's a tad... controversial,to say the least, when it first premired.  The basic story is about ten year old Melmo Watari, an orphaned girl given "Miracle Candies", the blue candy ages her ten years, the red candy decreases her age ten years, and if she eats a red and blue candy, she turns into an egg and then into an animal of her choice.

The series starts when Melmo's mother, Hitomi, is killed in a hit-and-run accident on her way home from the grocery store. Naturally, when she wakes up in Heaven, she is freaked out, pleading with the Heavenly Counsel to be allowed back to Earth to make sure her kids are taken care of. Fortunately, one of them is playing with "The Rings of Fate" (a lot like those unbreakable rings), and ends up breaking them, resulting in the Miracle Candies. 
Melmo also takes care of two younger brothers; Toto, who's preschool aged, and is somehow(by that, I mean candies) turned into a frog for several episodes and cannot turn back for a bit, being too small to ingest them, and Tachi, a baby, who's purpose is to teach kids about caring for babies.
Another character is Professor Waragarasu, a fictitious country called Chicchaina, who opposes the totalitarian government, and Melmo is actually kidnapped by the dictator for her candy.
Near the end of the series, Melmo gets a boyfriend, Jiro, and eventually they get married and have a daughter. I'll save any spoilers for you to find out.
In general, I like this show. It's enjoyably insane. :)
This series takes place in early 70s Japan, and it gives you an insight to what life was like back then.
All 26 episodes are available on YouTube.

Power Puff Girls Dance Pantsed

This special is what TV Tropes calls a base-breaker; love it or hate it. Me? Well, I don't care for it. The only thing that got me into it, is that Ringo Starr was in this special.

Well, I happens that I am subscribed to Ringo Starr, he uploaded a video that confirmed a new special, including some concept art of his character, as well as some fotage of him in the recording booth. From the dialogue, I could get that Ringo Starr was going to play a math themed villain. I waited for eight months for this special, and... underwhelming for me, a veteran fan.

Anyway, here's how the Power Puff Girls Wiki describes the special;
Mojo Jojo kidnaps an opera singer, a flamboyant mathematician, and a somehow famous badger. After being humiliated yet again by the Powerpuff Girls, he devises a new plan, by creating a game similar to a different game which Bubbles seemed to enjoy. He sends it to Bubbles by pretending that it the successor to 'Dance Pantsed Revolution', which is called 'Dance Pantsed REVILution 2' which turns out to be a trap turning Bubbles into a dancing robotic version of herself. The other Powerpuff Girls eventually follow, and are forced to capture the hostages Mojo Jojo previously captured, which Professor Utonium presumes that he is using them to get Chemical X. This forces the Professor to challenge the girls to a dance-off with help from The Mayor and Miss Bellum, but in the end failed to do so. However after help from Professor's love the Powerpuff Girls, they break free from Mojo's control and defeat him again. After fight, he claims that his plan was not to get Chemical X, but rule Townsville by becoming a celebrity by starting a successful softball team including the girls. Eventually, Professor Utonium, the Mayor, Ms. Bellum, and the Powerpuff Girls agree to be part of the softball team, just so they can win trophies. Unfortunately, they tricked Mojo and he is eventually taken to jail at the end. 
Uh... okay?
Why does Bubbles have ice breath?
Why did the Professor's backstory include dancing?
Why are the girls throwing tantrums in the store?
Why couldn't they just give the Mayor his pickle jar?
Why did I watch this... INSULT TO ONE OF THE GREATEST CARTOONS OF THE 90S AND MY CHILDHOOD?!?!?

And why the softball. that was just... so out of nowhere... Why? How?!?
My point being, I wouldn't be so mad if either the creators of this special watched the show (Teen Titans Go!, anyone) or if it was based on a different franchise all together. I give Ringo credit working with what he's given, the rest of the cast as well, and for little kids, it's not so bad, but for fans of the original show, yeah, it's not worth a watch, except maybe if you're a die-hard Ringo fan or want to keep the kids busy.

 

There's also this. Yeah... 

Where's Huddles Review

Ok, so I'm reviewing the show Where's Huddles, a summer of 1970 show that was a summer replacement for the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour, which is kinda like the Flinstones... only set in modern times and the lead characters are football players. This series was only ten episodes long (makes sense if new episodes were once a week in summer)...

The show's main characters are a professional football quarterback named Ed Huddles (voiced by Cliff Norton) and his neighbor, the team's center Bubba McCoy (voiced by Mel Blanc), who play for a team called The Rhinos, Ed's wife Marge (voiced by Jean Vander Pyl, also the voice of Wilma Flintstone (hmm...)), their daughter Pom-Pom, their kinda prissy neighbor Claude Pertwee (voiced by Paul Lynde), Claude Pertwee's cat Beverly their teammate Freight Train (voiced by Herb Jeffries), and Bubba's wife Penny McCoy (voiced by Marie Wilson, a comedienne in her final role before her death in 1972). Other characters include a sportscaster voiced by Dick Enberg, who at the time was the voice of the Los Angeles Rams, the coach Mad Dog Malone, voiced by Alan Reed. The Huddles had a dog named Fumbles, voiced by Don Messick, who also voiced Mutley.
Well... it's about football players.  The episode I watched is "One Man's Family". Bubba has a accident on the field and has to in for a check up. Ed decides to check what the doctor's doing, and somehow Bubba is pregnant. What? Meanwhile, Claude is trying to sell the story to the tabloids and even making Bubba sign to Claude the exclusivity of his story because... money... Anyway it ends with the doctor admitting he mixed up Bubba and Penny's x-ray results. Um... I thought you weren't supposed to get x-rays when you were pregnant... Maybe this was before radiation was revealed to be an issue. Oh, well. It ends with Claude taking a group picture of them. Eh... too bad it was the final episode.

 I give this show a 3/5. In general, it's not a bad show. I mean, it appeals to football fans, which my dad is one. Having Uncle Arthur on your show is a plus, and Paul Lynde is actually credited in this role, due to embarrassment about working in cartoons. Could they make new episodes with this? Um... yeah. I mean, they could play it before or after football games. It could work. Personally, I prefer when they're of the field, which can get a bit weird, especially having Paul Lynde as a neighbor. If this show was done now, I think it would of gotten better (or worse, if you notice what Fox/ writers have done to Family Guy). I would of watched it.

On Friday I'll review Josie and the Pussy-Cats or The 2014 Power Puff Girls Special.

Hi! This is my first post! I hope to do kind of a review of retro media (not like that hasn't been done before (Nostalgia Critic, anyone?)), but like things I like. Maybe I could do requests if you wanted it. Hopefully my first review will come soon. I'll probably review Where's Huddles, a 1970 placeholder show.:)
