Dark Shadows Episode #106: The schendenfreude I'm experiencing right now is...delicious.

One Piece Episode #11: There was some weird animation in the first half, but it's all ok because a goat-man shot Usopp in the arm.

Ultraman (1966) Episode #17: And so, Ultraman defeated the reality-warping monster with the power of spinning. Yaaaaaayy!

Reboot "The Edge of Beyond": Nice touch where the Web residents speak like old dial-up internet.

Gargoyles "Awakening Part 5": Is there going to be a romance between a human and a gargoyle? Because it sure feels like it's going that way.

Dark Shadows Episode #105: Thank goodness, the Sheriff and Burke are way smarter than I gave them credit for. And so, the season ends with Rodger finally seeing the consequences of his own actions.

One Piece Episode #10: The plan got discovered way earlier here than in the live-action. Also, Kurahodul is way meaner.

Kamen Rider Blade Episode #5: Hajime is starting to leak weird green goop. That can't be good. Best part:

Kenzaki: You should come with us.

Hajime: no

Kenzaki: Alright fine! You don't have to shout at me!

Dark Shadows Episode #103: The cat and mouse game has ramped up in tension between Rodger and Vicki. Maggie continues to be the sanest and smartest character in the show.

Ultraman (1966) Episode #16:

Writer 1: Quick! Ultraman is stuck on a distant moon. How does he return to Earth?

Writer 2: Teleportation!

Writer 1: Genius!

One Piece Episode #9: So we missed out on 1) Usopp's father 2) Usopp's friends and 3) moonwalking rock star pirate in the live action? No fair!

Dark Shadows Episode #102: We're slowly untangling this ghost seaweed of a mess, but I think the obvious solution is not the right one.

Pretty Cure Episode #5: Huh, the protagonists just killed someone and, though brief, acknowledge it.

Dekaranger Episode #5: So, there's a giant anthromorphic dog that commands a robot dog, which can transform into a bazooka. This show is awesome.

Dark Shadows Episode #101: Super tense episode. A cat-and-mouse game between Vicki and Rodger, Carolyn's either naive or in super denial, and now Maggie's been dragged into this mess.

Corrector Yui Episode #18: A pretty solid episode with a great twist. Not sure about the 'older man asks a teenager on a date' trope, even if it didn't go anywhere.

Space Sheriff Gavan Episode #16: Ah, young love. Portrayed very well in this episode.

One Piece Episode #8: We are at the end of episode 2 of the live-action. I've always enjoyed a story where past events are just ad interesting as the present, and this is no exception. I hope we see the Shanks and Buggy flashback in season 2.

Transformers Beast Wars "The Low Road": This one was a bit too comedic for my tastes, but it still had some enjoyable moments.

Digimon Tamers Episode #7: Several reveals this episode: Mysterious Lighter Man is named Yamaki, the Internet has birthed a new plane of existence, and the government is spying on everyone.

Dark Shadows Episode #100: 100th episode WHOOO! And, after what feels like forever, we finally have smart decisions. Vicki went to Burke about her fears regarding Rodger, David told on Carolyn, and Rodger might kill Vicki.

Ultraman (1966) Episode #15: Man, I thought I was supposed to cheer for Ultraman. Why am I getting sad over the monster? Again? At least this one got to live because it was cute and adorable.

Dark Shadows Episode #99: Oh boy, Vicki's starting to put the pieces together. I just hope she doesn't tell Rodger.

Corrector Yui Episode #17: I didn't expect such an emotional episode involving the gray area of Yui's goal and the antagonists' troubles. Good job.

Transformers Beast Wars "Possession": This was a nice love letter to the original series. A lot of nods and winks.

Reboot "The Return Of The Crimson Binome": So a female character used sex appeal to seduce some guards. For kids!!

One Piece Episode #7: I wish the Zoro fight made it into the live action. He didn't get that many fights in that version.

Dark Shadows Episode #98: Poor Mrs. Johnson. Dropped right into the mess and creepiness that is the Collins family.

Ultraman 1966 Episode #14: I'm not sure if this episode was sexist or not. The main female character is really fired up about fighting the monster, but only because it eats pearls and she really likes pearls.

One Piece Episode #6: This is One Piece, why am I getting emotional?

Dark Shadows Episode #97: Ooooh, the gaslighting didn't work this time, did it Elizabeth?

Ultraman Nexus Episode #4: I don't trust Illustrator. He seems like the kind of guy who'd want to destroy Ultraman.

One Piece Episode #5: Nami is way more manipulative here than in the live-action.

Abaranger Episode #2: Man, I want to live on the parallel Earth where there's robot dinosaurs.

Digimon Tamers Episode #6: Ah, yes, finally getting into the creepy vibes with all of the digital monsters reaching for a young girl in her room. Voice actor did a great job sounding terrified.

Dark Shadows Episode #96: I hope Vicki was picking up on the red flags Rodger was waving this entire episode.

Pretty Cure Episode #4: New fun fact: apparently students organize and lead field trips in Japan.

Dekaranger Episode #4: Best exchange:

Ban: Stop feeling sorry for yourself! *flying kick*

Hoji: Don't tell me what to do! *punches Ban*

Kamen Rider Blade Episode #4: So the unconscious guy who is the only one who knows all the answers randomly bursts into flames. Huh.

One Piece Episode #4: It's only been two episodes, and the main group already got separated.

Reboot "The Episode With No Name": On-screen death. FOR KIDS!

Gargoyles "Awakening Part 4": Xanatos is starting to show why there's a TV Trope named after him.

Dark Shadows Episode #95: Oh, boy, it's misunderstanding time. And I like Frank. He seems cool.

Ultraman (1966) Episode #13: First episode where 1) Ultraman didn't have to beat the monster all by himself and 2) one of the main characters makes a mistake that leads to massive collateral damages.

Corrector Yui Episode #16: We need more shows where the villians show up in casual wear to do evil.

Space Sheriff Gavan Episode #15: Why is the soundtrack so good!?! However, I pretty sure the showrunners were on cocaine for this episode. I'm still not sure what happened 90% of the time.

One Piece Episode #3: They definitely turned down the comedy in the live action version. Zoro, for example, has more comedy moments here.

Abaranger Episode #1: You know a show is going to be good when the main characters are powered by rage.

Digimon Tamers Episode #5: There were a lot of jokes only adults would get. I love it.

Transformers Beast Wars "Dark Voyage": Primitive animation or not, that giant snake was still terrifying.

Dark Shadows Episode #94: Oh, good. I got worried there for a second, but Joe has enough pride to see through Carolyn's manipulations.

Ultraman Nexus Episode #3: I feel bad for Ultraman and his host. They're trying to help humanity, but humanity keeps trying to shoot them.

Dark Shadows Episode #93: No, Joe! Don't go back to Carolyn! I know she's pretty, but she's bipolar! Also, child abuse!

Pretty Cure Episode #3: Oooooh, female teacher flirting with the male teacher. How progressive.

Dekaranger Episode #3: The future: where the death penalty can be given and executed in 10 seconds.

Kamen Rider Blade Episode #3: This show really likes sick characters. One is currently dying, one is going to die, and the other gets a lot of migranes.

One Piece Episode #2: We are now at the halfway point in the 1st live action episode. I can say doe certain that the live action actors did a really good job capturing the characters.

Gargoyles "Awakening Part 3": Never thought I'd get a philosophical discussion about how names are a social construct in a kids show.
