Yay, my weekly or so rant on this site as begun, I guess I'll talk about several animated TV shows:

MLP (So Non-Bronies, You Can Just Skip This One)

I watched every episode of Season 3 of MLP, and here's my basic rundown: Crystal Empire was epic. It had a few flaws, but in the end, I thought it was awesome.

Too Many Pinkie Pies was alright. Sure, it was funny, but it was also pretty dull as far as MLP goes. It's just a whole bunch of Pinkie's yelling, running, breaking the fourth wall, etc. It wasn't bad, but it's not amazing.

One Bad Apple was pretty good. Again, it wasn't perfect, but I did really like it's humor, it's characters (This episode got me to like Scootaloo... No. Seriously) and that song was so upbeat and catchy, I can't help not enjoying it.

The latest episode, Magical Duel, was really well made, except for the boring, cliched story. And since the story was often my favorite part of these episodes, I didn't like this one. Like I said, the characters were hilarious, apart from Fluttershy, and ending was great, but the story was just: Twilight fails, she tries something else, and wins. Maybe you like it, but for me, I've seen it before.

So, Season 3 is pretty hit-or-miss so far. Oh well.

Phineas and Ferb

I didn't put this one first because, since I live in Canada, I can't get P&F episodes as soon as they come out. With MLP at least, Reddit always has a link, but sadly, P&F doesn't have as big a fanbase on that site. I must admit though, I'm extremely excited for "For your Ice Only", which features an ACTUAL NHL SUPERSTAR,  Luc Robitaille. That's awesome. Also, Season 3 was a little disappointing to me, but at least they had the brilliant half-hour of Candace Disconnected/Magic Carpet Ride, so I'll forgive it.

Legend of Korra

SEASON 2, BLARALARGHIEVBV;VBVRUVB

The Last Airbender

I watched the unaired pilot recently, and let me say 3 things:

Aang's voice actor sucked. At least they got someone else by the time the series started.

The animation is, for the most part, awesome.

The avatar state was also terrible in that episode.

A Small After-Message

I know this is off from my "Ranty-Half Funny" self, but a good friend of my family's was taken off life support several days ago, so I ask that you have hope that her family can get through this. Also, please support  multiple sclerosis research and a cure, it would help out a lot.


 * Sigh* Alright, that was long. Well, let me just say one last thing: I love Star Wars, I love Indiana Jones, I love Rocky, Lord of the Rings, and so on. But, I discovered my new favorite movie series not long ago... James Bond. (I always end off on controversy, don't I?)
