Worst/Best Captain Ever?: The Irresponsible Captain Tylor

-
Greetings, fellow citizens of the Internet!  Valentine’s Day may be around the corner, but that won’t stop me from doing part two of Flashback February.  I couldn’t give enough love to this show-you’ll get what I mean a little later-, but I did what I could to give it one heck of a review!  So enough of the chit-chat and let’s get on with this week’s review on The Irresponsible Captain Tylor!
In this sci-fi action/comedy, twenty year-old Justy Ueki Tylor (or simply referred to as Tylor) has no idea what to do with his life.  He goes to the United Planets Space Force to find work.  But after getting involved in a hostage situation with a high ranking officer, he gets lucky-ish and obtains command of a destroyer called the Soyokaze.  What makes it lucky-ish is that the Soyokaze is considered to be the dumping ground of the United Planets Space Force in terms of crew members.  But it doesn’t take long for the rag-tag crew to get involved with the Raalgan Empire and the ensuing war between the Empire and the UPSF.  Still, given Tylor’s laid back and naïve nature-not to mention luck-, there’s no doubt the crew of the Soyokaze can manage.
Ok, so, I really wasn’t able to get much further from where I left off the last time I watched this show.  To no fault of my own, I was swamped with a major homework assignment and was having some Internet problems at my place.  So yeah, I got out numbered.  Still, going back and watching this show, I was reminded why I liked it so much.  That being said, I give The Irresponsible Captain Tylor a seven out of ten.  The biggest selling of this series was definitely the comedy aspects of the show.  Mostly Tylor’s comedic aspects are the highlight.  Watching him treat some pretty dire situations as no big deal and then these same situations working themselves out in the end is just hilarious!  Plus, I have to admit that I love the charm of the 90’s animation.  Granted, I’ve caught myself calling the mid to late 90’s to about the mid 2000’s the golden age of anime.  Still, don’t take me up on that phrase.
As far as downsides go…well…I don’t really have any.  And again, that’s mostly because I didn’t get any further in watching the series.  While it was really no major fault of my own, I still think I should receive part of the blame.  But all things considered, I thought that this was a hilarious show that’s worth watching!
So while I dropped the ball this week, I do promise that you will not be disappointed with this series!  Watching the show online has been a struggle, but Nozomi Entertainment-the company that owns the title- has the series uploaded on YouTube.  All of the show in Japanese sub is available and two episodes of the dub are available as well.  If you’re more interested in watching the dub or just prefer dubbed shows anyway, Right Stuf has some copies available for purchase. And so that concludes this week’s post!  Tune in next week when I do my first ever live reaction of WatchMojo.com’s Top Ten Sci-Fi Anime Shows in the third part of Flashback February!

Devilman (1972) vs. Devilman Crybaby: Which Is Better?

Greetings, fabulous peoples!   Welcome to part three of my Devilman- themed Flashback February!   For this week’s post, I’m doing something that I hadn’t done in a pretty long time: a Vs. post!   As many of you may know, with these posts, I take two series, characters, and even manga series and see which one was better.   In this latest Vs. post, I’m taking the two Devilman shows I reviewed for Flashback February and seeing which one was a devil of a show.   And for those who’ve seen Crybaby , I know what you’re thinking, but keep quiet for now.   With that said, let’s duel it out with the original Devilman series and Devilman Crybaby ! First Up: Devilman (1972)   First up on the chopping block is the original 1972 series.   If you read my review on it earlier in the month, the premises of the show is pretty much a kaiju series.   The series ran from 1972 to 1973 for about forty episodes.   And I will admit, I did not watch the entire series due to time restraints,

Character of the Month of April: Shoya Ishida and Shoko Nishimiya

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I think you saw this one coming.   I’m back this beautiful Sunday with this month’s Character- or Characters of the Month!   And yeah, if you read the title, I think it’s pretty obvious who was going to take it.   Cause let’s face it The End of Evangelion’s Shinji wasn’t going to take it anytime soon, especially not after the hospital scene.   But still, all kidding aside, I think this month’s picks really are worthy of the title, not just in their actions, but what they represent.   That being said, let’s talk about this month’s Characters of the Month of April, Shoya Ishida and Shoko Nishimiya from A Silent Voice . To keep things brief and less long-winded, A Silent Voice follows Shoya Ishida and Shoko Nishimiya as the two form a close friendship with each other despite the fact that the two shared a rough past.   With Nishimiya being deaf, this made her a target for bullying by Ishida as a child.   But when his bullying goes too far and Nishimiya

Akira the Movie vs. Akira the Manga: Which is Better?

Greetings, everyone!  Welcome to Part 1 of Akira Month!  To kick this two part, all about Akira, discussion post event off, I’ll be taking the manga that inspired the groundbreaking film, and the groundbreaking film that later inspired the world and seeing which one really makes fans explode-OK, that came out a little weird.  So now, without further delay, let’s get started on my discussion post battle of Akira  the Manga versus Akira the Movie! First Up: Akira the Movie So let’s begin with the Akira that most people are familiar with, the 1988 film. In a nutshell, Akira the film is about a teenage biker gang member named Tetsuo who suddenly develops psychic powers that eventually cause him to lose his mind.  This decent into  madness also sparks a rivalry between him and his best friend Kaneda, who has unwillingly become involved with a terrorist group trying to expose a secret government organization that studies individuals with psychic abilities much similar to
