    How to Play: Join up the names! Taking the last syllable/sound of the previous name, suggest another name (of an anime/manga character or seiyuu) with that sound in any part of the name EXCEPT the last syllable. Please post the new name (and the anime/manga it's from) in my shoutbox. (Just above this.) No consecutive entries, please -- you cannot play this one alone. XD
    When I get tired of reviewing, I'll pick one character from this list to feature in a post, regardless of whether I previously know him/her or not! :) That page will eventually be linked on this list.
    E.g....Hirano Aya (Seiyuu)--> (next one should have 'ya' in the name, NOT in the end) Okuyama Masumi (Nodame Cantabile) --> Misato Kaoru (Moyashimon).......

Star Wars: The Clone Wars 3 - Anakin Emotes

Published by jennkei at 10:16 pm under First Impressions, misc ranting Edit This


Okay, so my bed is still in a mess, my hard drive is to one side of it (somewhat under winter blankets I’m gonna put away), so what you get today is….dumdumdum, Star Wars: The Clone Wars (animated) episode 3! Technically it’s kinda anime (well, animated, at least!) — and it’ll be aired in Japan next season, i.e. Spring 2009. :P

Now, short recap — episode 1 of the series was awesome, with lots of funny droid action (not the man on man akshun kind >.>); episode 2 was a bit more serious and not really as fun. Ep 3? Read on to find out. ;) (Or visit the screenshot gallery..) “I believe a scout of farmers can outmaneuver their ion weapon..”?! He meant bombers, but I don’t know. XD While episode 2 involved a rescue, ep 3 involves a counterattack — Anakin launches a fleet to eliminate Captain Grievous in his beeg ship. Meanwhile, Grievous gets his kicks attacking a defenseless medical ship.

Droid 1: Boy! This is a lot more fun when they aren’t shooting back!
Droid 2: I still can’t seem to hit anything! -gets punched by Grievous-

I don’t really like how Anakin is portrayed…he seems like a know-it-all who doesn’t listen to Asoka. Not to mention he made some weird proposition-sounding comments to Asoka. :S However, one good thing is that the good dialogue is back!

Asoka: R2! The scanners are useless!
Anakin:
This is old-fashioned flying. You have to feel your way through to stay on course.
Other Jedi (not sure about his name): Skywalker is right, Asoka. Clear your mind, young one, and you will see the path.
Asoka: W’right now, I can’t see anything at all.
Skywalker: -grimace-
Broadside: I always know where I’m going.
Other Clone: Yeah? Where is that, Broadside?
Broadside:
I’m gonna blow up that battleship!

Not as good as ep 1, but not bad, nonetheless. :) Skywalker wins, Grievous gets blasted, yay!

    @xJAYMANx: Haha, yeah, I saw it on eztv while looking for another series…can’t remember what, now. ._. Later I saw on Moonphase it’s gonna be aired in spring in Japan, which was pretty funny, heh.

    Will look forward to rest of eps, then! :D

    @Jay: Comments feed? ._. Heh I should find out more about this feed thing..but ever since they were upgrading this new template here, it seems I’ve lost the rss widget. :(

    Oh, not Tsukiyomi Moon Phase, if that’s what you’re thinking about. (Really?! Five stars? ._.) I mean the site keeping track of anime news — http://www.moonphase.cc/Html/anime.html — aka the anime program guide. :)

    And groan, nekomimi Yoda…too much to imagine..XD

    @jay: Hey Jay! Haha, sorry, I’ve been meaning to reply but didn’t notice your comment was actually in the moderation queue. I’ll work it out when I get back from work, but yes, they got through — just that my comment options are set to ‘Only allow previously-commented/Put anything with >3 links in moderation queue’.

    I did see it, I’m just delayed, my bad. :) I tried having a reader (Live Bookmarks in Firefox XD) but then…like you said, too many. XD So every now and then I look and am amazed by the new posts and stuffs, haha.

    Moda Yoda sounds funny even before I’ve seen it. XD Will have a look after work~

    @Jay: Oh, so -that’s- the opening to Tsukiyomi Moon Phase…hrm, a bit too…loli-sounding for me. XD But catchy nonetheless.

    So I tried looking for a picture of Yoda with Nekomimi….didn’t really find one. I did find a picture of an actual cat with four ears called Yoda! XD
