• 28 day bubblegum crisis challenge, day 7: in which I have a favorite main character …

    I know that Priss Asagiri is a fan favorite, and I get it. She’s tough, brave, quick with her anger, and rides a damn motorcycle like there’s no tomorrow. That’s not even touching the fact that she fronts a rock band, The Replicants, and wears this glorious blonde wig that can make even the most…

  • 28 day bubblegum crisis challenge, day 6: in which I decide which episode would adapt best to a movie …

    Honestly, every single episode of Bubblegum Crisis is a essentially a mini-movie, shrinkie-dinked down to an average of about 40 minutes, and several of them, with a bit of tweaking could be excellent stand-alone movies. However, out of the eight, “Revenge Road” is just a bit more perfect than the other ones; yes, even more…

  • 28 day bubblegum crisis challenge, day 5: in which the worst episode is …

    One of the things that bothers me in television is when writers basically run out of ideas and start rehashing a whole mess of storylines. For example, Buffy wanting to be a normal girl throughout the first two seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer got a little tiring after a while, and Gabrielle staying “pure”…

  • 28 day bubblegum crisis challenge, day 4: in which the best episode is …

    I had trouble deciding whether or not the best Bubblegum Crisis episode should be my answer to Day 6, but then I realized that the episode would better serve established and potential fans alike as a pilot. Even though “Tinsel City” is our introduction into the world of MegaTokyo, it just doesn’t quite have the…

  • 28 day bubblegum crisis challenge, day 3: in which I have a least favorite episode …

    This, without a doubt, is the easiest challenge day of this month, and I’m not even going to hide it behind the cut: the final episode, “Scoop Chase.” Like … it’s not necessarily bad. It just doesn’t have as strong a plot as the other episodes do, and it’s a lot of rehashing of previous…

  • 28 day bubblegum crisis challenge, day 2: in which I have a favorite episode …

    Less episodes always means this challenge day is hard, and Bubblegum Crisis is no different. Although the episodes do follow a type of continuity, you could technically watch them in any order and not really lose much, and that gives each the equal opportunity to be my favorite.

  • 28 day bubblegum crisis challenge, day 1: in which I was introduced to bgc …

    Ahhhh, this brings me back to my days as a sales associate at Sam Goody/Suncoast. When Jeff, my manager, asked me which side of the store I would rather work, I immediately told him that I wanted “to live with the movies,” an answer he found amusing. Music was fine, but it didn’t mesmerize me…

    This month continues to be intense, which I’m all for because it means that it passes by quickly, so I haven’t been curating my playlists as much as I normally do. However, Spotify has been knocking it out of the park when coming up with songs that I have actually added to my library or…

    So last week’s “on rotation…” inspired me to listen to nothing but Cibo Matto for the last seven days, and I regret nothing. Not only did get transported back to high school, but I also found out that they released an album all the way back in 2014 that I didn’t even know they’d done…

    28 day challenge

    Alrighty, it’s that time of the year again! In just a few short weeks, it’s going to be February, the shortest month of the year and the month in which I do a challenge on something that is a bit more short-form. I’ve done TV shows (Friends) and podcasts (The Adventure Zone), and, in the…
