...The plan is simple: I will watch a different anime every day for one year....

#25: He-Man and the Masters of the Universe


Oh. My. God.

I am not an OMG kind of girl. I find that rather annoying really.

But I can't help it. This show kind of deserves the annoying OMG treatment.

Because seriously - SERIOUSLY - the voices are ATROCIOUS.

Cringer has to have one of the top ten most irritating voices in all of animation. Every time he goes to open his mouth I want to poke something sharp into my ears just to put myself out of my misery.

I'm not joking. It is really that bad.

And He-Man's voice is way way WAY too high pitched. He is supposed to be this big brutish barbarian (haha, alliteration makes me laugh) and his voice sounds like some jackass d-bag from the white collar modern world. I don't buy it, I don't believe it, and I don't like it.

At all.

No sir, I don't like it (thank you Mr. Horse from Ren and Stimpy, that quote comes in so handy so often).

I can't believe I ever watched and liked this show, even if I was a little kid when I did. But to be honest I'm not sure I ever really DID watch He-Man. I think I might have been a She-Ra only kind of girl. And even She-Ra pissed me off, cause they did that lame thing where she was He-Man's sister so they couldn't hook up (though I've read fanfic where that whole being twins thing didn't cause any hinderance in the hooking up department, and there was even this one where Swiftwind and BattleCat....but I digress). The stories are silly and the animation is so old skool and the characters are hokey and the bad guy just doesn't scare me.

But this was a part of my childhood (I think sort of) and its fun to watch it again and re-experience it and discuss the toys and other merchandise with The Boyfriend. He had the Grayskull playset. I want the Grayskull playset right now. I could act out the cartoon, with ALOT better voices.

Its Been Forever...


I haven't blogged in forever but I HAVE been watching anime.

I'm at least a good girl 50% of the time. Not that it matters in the world of blogging. But I'm making a point of it anyways because it makes me feel better.

Anyways, the point is that I haven't forgotten my (self-given) mission. I'm still determined to watch a year's worth of anime - within a year. I just have to get back in the habit of blogging after I've watched stuff. And of course get caught up on blogging all of the stuff I've already watched that I haven't blogged about yet.

Which includes lots of anime.

But also includes lots of cartoons from my childhood that have suddenly become available on Netflix. Like He-Man and Brave Starr and Voltron. They may not really be ANIME and I may have seen them before when I was little (waaaaay too young to remember) but I'm watching and blogging about them anyways.

Cause I can. Its my blog and I'll write/watch what I want too.

So there.
