Podcast was super effective! Okay, that was the dumbest joke in the book, but this wouldn't be Chic Pixel if I didn't throw in some bad puns or blatant video game references, right? Besides, I've always wanted to type "a wild husband appears!" But I'm not just typing it - he really did! That's right, I finagled my benevolent husband Shaun to podcast with me this week (well, nearly two weeks ago now, but who's keeping track)!
Shaun and I dressed up in garb inspired by our favorite 'mons, Psyduck and Swadloon!

Hunter x Hunter: Phantom Rouge
You expected the Phantom Troupe in a Phantom Troupe movie? Hah! Too bad!
Well, now this was underwhelming. Not that I had any high hopes for this in the first place after the countless bad Yahoo.jp reviews but still. I expected little, I got nothing. Heck, I didn't even get what they had promised. Kurapika? The spiders? The first one was spending most of the runtime in bed and among the latter, only two of them made an appearance at the forty minutes mark, one of them for about 5 minutes, the other one for a single minute. Six of them also showed up at the last minute to save the day and then left. Providing some fanservice for the crowds who thought this was a movie heavily featuring them, eh?

Hunter X Hunter Status Report
"Vegeta, what does the scouter say about his power level?"
Okay, so I just caught up to Hunter X Hunter, episode 91. Overall at this point when I'm behind on so many series, it just isn't practical to do monthly summaries anymore. That would be way too confusing and I'll only do them again when I'm reasonably up to date with everything. However, I do have an opinion of this series that I want to voice, because this show still continues to work my patience. This frustration was at its highest at episode 90, and thankfully episode 91 made it a bit less.

Summer 2013 Episode Rankings
FREE! didn't air last week, but as I did with Kitakubu a couple of posts ago, I'll just pretend there wasn't a gap and throw ep 5 in with the others. I was a week behind on it anyway, and it's one of the few series I haven't commented on since the start of the season - something I'll put right in this post!
No complaints about lack of action in this week's Shingeki no Kyojin!1 -

TRIGUN ANIME REVIEW: OLD, IMPRESSIVE...
I have to say i am surprised by how much i loved this series. I was skeptical at first because of how OLD Trigun is. I was drawn to it because it is the first anime i have ever seen take place in an old western setting. Plus i rarely watch anime about action heroes that use guns to execute impressive feats.
I was surprised by the quality of this show, certainly i can see why many that watched in its time rate it so highly. Someone should reanimate this show.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes, episodes 3 and 4. Next, Dragon Ball Z
Also known as Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu
After watching 4 episodes of Legend of the Galactic Heroes I think I can see why people like it a little more clearly.

Summer Season 2013 Mid-Impressions
Deconstructing this very website: In an attempt to pander to my female audience (hah!) for once, I decided not to resort to a barely clothed anime girl for this article's cover image or whatever people like to call that stuff.
Also, I'd like to have a slice of life anime with these guys. And Morishige as Kizami's little brother. FUN!
