This is a show where little happens. It's more like a novel than a Saturday cartoon series.

The ninja was superflouous, unfunny, and the throw-away dialogue for that whole scene made me cringe.

The whole desertwalk was so tediously pointless we almost stopped watching, but the second half turned out to be a pretty good story, lame superpowers and attack-announcing aside.temperusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323543890331313328.post-81091578255094829052010-02-10T23:06:37.770+00:002010-02-10T23:06:37.770+00:00Well, considering my comments on the previous epis...Well, considering my comments on the previous episode, I made sure that I was prepared to listen for the required time. However when that reverse talk ninja showed up, I almost got up and and left. When he was promptly taken out of the picture, I breathed a sigh of relief. Thank God! I can't suffer through that! It's worse than Yoda!<br /><br />In the "catchphrase convo", the reverse talk ninja comes up again. I was muttering how stupid he was when lo and behold! Togame too is happy he's dead because she thought writing all that reverse talking was going to be a serious pain.<br /><br />I don't know why, but that struck me as one of the funniest lines I'd ever heard. How someone writes a character in, makes him as annoying as possible and then lightly pokes fun at what a horrible character he is...<br /><br />I'm wondering if it was some sort of inside joke at the animation studio. It was a good one.JWnoreply@blogger.com
