    TALKBACK - Steven Universe - Episodes 147-152 *HEART OF THE CRYSTAL GEMS* [7/2-7/6]

    The week was really great. The level of character development in the show is amazing! If you compare Amethyst from What's Your Problem to how selfish she was in Maximum Capacity,you see she's really grown. Also, if you compare the shy, timid Connie from Bubble Buddies to her straight up...

    The most sympathetic and unsympathetic villains in animation?

    I've always felt like Azula (Avater: The Last Airbender) was always a sympathetic villain. When you really look at whatever she did, she was just following orders. She was loyal to her father and country. She even felt that her mother didn't like her so I can see why she would gravitate to her...

    TALKBACK - Steven Universe - "Mindful Education" - [8/25]

    Love. Love.Loved this episode. Just when I criticized the show for what happened to Jasper and Eyeball Ruby, I see that it actually impacted Steven. That's something I haven't seen in nearly any show since Avatar: The Last Airbender. The main character actually cares about what they do. The...

    TALKBACK - Steven Universe - "Episodes 100-105" - *SUMMER OF STEVEN: FINAL WEEK* - [8/8-8/12]

    The Kindergarten Kid I actually liked this episode quite a bit. The Wile E. Coyote scenes were all great and for some reason, Peridot's superiority complex is kind of becoming something I like about her. Outside of the "Too Short to Ride" episode, she's never had a lack of confidence even when...

    TALKBACK - Steven Universe - "Episodes 84-89" - *SUMMER OF STEVEN: WEEK 1* - [7/18-7/22]

    After spending all of last season wondering where Malachite was and what this cluster was and how to stop it, I'm really liking these episodes where some of the background/second-tier characters get some development. Mr. Greg I thought it was a good episode. I rarely like the music in SU, but...

    TALKBACK - Steven Universe - "Super Watermelon Island" & "Gem Drill" - [5/12]

    I have to say that in Super Watermelon Island, it bothers me that Malachite was defeated by Watermelon Stevens. We spent most of the season wondering where Malachite was and worrying about what it was going to do, but for her to be beaten so easily was disappointing. It was worse than the...

    What cartoons do you own on DVD/Blu-Ray?

    DVD The Boondocks (Season 1-3) That abomination of a fourth season will not stain my glorious collection Naruto Box Set 1-10 (No filler seasons as well) Naruto: Legend of the Stone of Gelel Robotech: The Macross Saga Hulk Vs. Spectacular Spider Man: Season One Final Fantasy: Advent Children...

    Least Favorite / Likable / Notweworthy Female Character(s) in animation...

    Katara (Avatar: The Last Airbender) - I know that there are so many people that just love her, but she's just annoying to me. She started the series as a know-it-all Mary Sue and just got worse as she got better at waterbending. I really don't see any real growth in her as a character for the...

    What do you enjoy about action cartoons?

    While the action can be very visually appealing (ex. Naruto vs. Saskue or Pain, Korra vs. Zaheer, Azula & Dai Li vs. Aan, Toph, & Sokka), I am far more interested in story. If a show has characters that I care about, then I'm into the show (ex. Green Lantern: The Animated Series). However, a...

    "If it weren't for that guy..." (Revisited)

    I would have to say both Mako and Bolin (Legend of Korra). They are both EXTREMELY annoying and unfortunately at times, they are needed in order to further the plots, but man every second that either of these two spend on the screen just grates my skin. Bolin is a likeable character, but his...

    C&C - Black Dynamite - Season Two Talkback (Spoilers)

    Possibly my favorite episode of the show yet. It's up there right along with the Richard Pryor and the Race War episodes. The writers are really pushing the limits this season and I love how the show makes an effort to capture the 1970s feel. It was great to see a Honey Bee feature story and...

    C&C - Mr. Pickles - Season One Talkback (Spoilers)

    I actually really like this show. The fast pace of it can be a bit jarring, but really enjoy it. Mr. Pickles' protective nature really makes the show interesting to me. I end up rooting for him all the time.

    Cutest cartoon couples

    Not sure if you all are interested in anime couples, but I really like Kirito and Asuna from Sword Art Online. It's rare that the guy gets the girl during the series and we see things even after they are officially a couple. It's really refreshing and adds a lot to the series in my opinion.

    C&C - Space Dandy - "Lovers Are Trendy, Baby!" [9/6]

    This show is really frustrating to me. Visually, it's always great, but it's so silly that I usually can't stand watching it. BUT, then every once in a while there will be a really awesome episode such as this one or two or three from the first season. This is what keeps me coming back.

    Tomboys and Girly Girls

    Toph and Katara (Avatar: The Last Airbender): Toph was always seen as the tomboy type that loved to fight while Katara was the girly type, who developed into one of the best fighters in the show. I kind of liked the clashing of the two personalities even though they were on the same team. They...
