Star Wars: The Bad Batch 111 Devil's Deal July 9, 2021 Writer: Tamara Becher-Wilkinson Story Editor: Matt Michnovetz Director: Steward Lee Score: Kevin Kiner As the seeds of rebellion foment on an outer rim world, the Empire schemes to squash it. Bad This show is supposed to be about the Bad Batch, right? This was more like Star Wars: Ryloth's Rebellion Does this mess with the origin of Hera and Chopper? It seems off to me. It kind of took me out of it -Cham Syndulla referring to "so much war" after the Clone War was ONLY 3 years. It seems a little world. It's definitely out of touch with the US Afghan War which has lasted 20 years as of this time. Was Ryloth at war before the Clone War? That's what it almost sounds like. I don't remember that. I thought the Galaxy was mostly peaceful for a long time before the outbreak of the Clone War Good -Ryloth is beautiful -Omega and Hera's interaction -The disarming of Ryloth is evil. The Twi'lek see it as evil. The show's creators see it as evil. It is. Tell the Empire to come and take it. -The Tarkin Doctrine of keeping citizens in line through fear is on full display. The Empire is shown to be malicious. -Blurrgs! -Cham's reluctance to rebel -Young Hera is cool -The Syndulla character model look FABULOUS! The Eleni Syndulla model puts the Hera Syndulla model from Star Wars Rebels to shame. The anatomy of the model looks so great. Score Star Wars: The Bad Batch 111 Devil's Deal was really good. The show looks better than ever. While this was a detour from the story of the Bad Batch, it was exciting and engaging. The evil of the Empire is on full display and I want to see the Syndullas saved from them. 4/5 #starwars #TheBadBatch #starwarsbadbatch #review ___ Talk to me on MeWe - mewe.com/i/mjmuñoz Contact- https://twitter.com/MJ_Scribe More Content- https://mjmunoz.com/ Support- https://mjmunoz.com/support/.

I will be discussing: The good and bad of #FuutoPI and unlikable characters. #KamenRider #KamenRiderW #KamenRiderDouble #tokusatsu #anime Audio + Show Notes - https://mjmunoz.com/2022/08/04/hb01/ CREDITS Fuuto PI 01 Beware of t/The Man Who Loved a Witch - August 1, 2022 Writer: Riku Sanjo (I guess, being that he wrote the manga) Director: Yousuke Kabashima, seems to be the main director, but there are a lot of credits to go around) SYNOPSIS In the windy city of Fuuto, private detective Shotaro Hidari works with his friends to protect the citizens... in more ways than one. But a chance encounter with a bewitching femme fatale might spell a whole new kind of trouble for him, and his city. HITS -Sanjo has these characters locked in live action, manga and now anime, too. It felt like I was watching Kamen Rider Double. -Shotaro hitting the streets and coming up with leads was fun -The character designs capture the cast so well -The animation is slick and fluid -Great music -Shotaro chasing Tokime was exciting, I like how his familiarity with Fuuto was shown by that -I like how Shotaro's love of Fuuto is flipped to show us how weird and threatening this other world is -Philip calling Shotaro on his BS is always a delight MISSES -Tokime's design is RIDICULOUS -Not enough Philip! SCORE Episode 1 - 8/10 This IS a continuation of Double, through and through. I still dislike Shotaro's goofy posturing, I still like Akiko taking him down a peg and Philip being the better half of the pair. The action and music are cool, the otherworldly threat and mystery are intriguing and I am genuinely curious to learn what is going on in Fuuto, how Tokime factors into it and see what new threat warrants Double becoming active again. REFLECTIONS If you haven't figured it out yet, I do not like Shoatro Hidari. I almost actively dislike him and yet I watched all of Kamen Rider Double and I enjoyed 90% of it and I enjoyed this first episode of Fuuto PI even though he is mostly in focus this episode. How does that work? It's time to talk about unlikable characters.
