The Legend of Korra: Episode Six

Howard Stark! How could you!?

Thank You

I really want to express my gratitude to everyone who’s been following the Aniblog Tourney, visiting all the different blogs, reading old posts, new posts, and random posts, compiling your thoughts and critiques, then taking it to the polls and voting. It’s a miracle Bokutachi no BLOG has made it past the second round against Nopy’s Blog and it’s all thanks to our readers. I’m grateful not just for your votes but for your dedication to this site and our little team. I know we don’t write as much as a team of six writers should, and you’ve had to put up with inconsistent posting, drunken writers, hijacked accounts, and the over usage of punctuation, but this is also why this win as well as our last means so much to me.

But it’s not just about our blog or winning but about discovering new aniblogs and improving the existing ones. So please keep visiting, reading, commenting, and voting. And if out of all the aniblogs participating, if you can’t find any one site or any one writer you like, well then start your own blog! Who knows: you may be the best thing that’s yet to happen to the aniblogsphere. … You know, the best thing after Scamp, that is.

So thank you again – sincerely, from the bottom of my stomach, which is more important than my heart.

The Legend of Korra: Episode Five

An entire episode dedicated to the romances percolating amidst the greater storyline? Cue eye roll and exasperated sigh. However, by focusing on the one thing I really didn’t like about The Legend of Korra, the show has hopefully done the one thing I was really hoping for: getting the romance out of the way. Now that Korra’s confessed her feelings, kissed Mako, broken Bolin’s heart, and made friends with Asami, we can move on.

Oh and don’t worry: They’re all still friends.

The Legend of Korra: Episode Four

Forget Korra versus Amon! It’s Korra versus Asami!

I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again: I am not a fan of Avatar romance. It’s not bad but it’s not great, and it always seems out of place. But let’s say with the introduction of Asami Sato – the daughter of wealthy tycoon Hiroshi Sato, creator of the Satomobile – I stop judging Avatar romance and just be nice while it plays out. I mean, it’s clearly not going away…

The Legend of Korra: Episode Three

For some reason, so far, when I watch The Legend of Korra, I don’t get very excited. I get excited before I watch it, in anticipation of it, but during the episodes… Meh.

Okay maybe “meh” is an unfair reaction – it’s not that bad, but when I re-watch some of the episodes from The Last Airbender, I get pretty happy. Admittedly, a lot of that comes from watching Toph Earthbend. So far I haven’t seen any bending action that compares to what Toph does in The Last Airbender, but I know there’s still lots of room for things to get better. And that’s one of the things The Legend of Korra’s got going for it: potential.

congratulations Scamp!

You’re officially too popular for your own good.

blindability’s Feature First Impression

Earlier this month I had a “Boss Moment” and assigned each one of my writers one show at random from the Spring line up to review. For myself, I would review whichever show one of the other writers suggested; Gooney spoke first and assigned me Haiyore! Nyaruko-san.

Damnation, Gooney.

Better Late Than Never First Impressions

“Better late than never” seems to be the theme of our First Impressions posts here at Bokutachi no BLOG, haha. But to be fair, sometimes you do need to see more than just the first episode of something to know whether or not you like it. Of course, there are the shows that instantly impress upon you that they’ll hold your interest all season long…

…Only to fail you by ending poorly.
