Now that was the kind of episode I’ve been waiting for over this last uneven string of storytelling. Sure, it was the finale so the series was able to really pull out all the stops (and definitely blew its CGI budget), but this was a series (season?) finale that managed to pull together the remaining […]
In 2023, I listed my top ten (Western) animated series and top twenty anime. Most series are new, but some are holdovers from 2023, like Oshi No Ko. The other series noted in this post, are: My Deer Friend Nokotan!, Pon No Michi, Acro Trip, Magilumiere Co. Ltd., Narenare: Cheer for You!, Mayonaka Punch!, Wonderful […]
This week’s Skeleton Crew didn’t skimp on the CGI set pieces (that escape of the ship from the jaws of the techno crab metal crushing thing was pretty cool to see), but it excelled in an area that the series has been lacking in past installments: focusing on the interpersonal character beats at the heart […]
Last year I published a list of my top ten Western animated series. I am doing the same this year. Some are holdovers from last year, like Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, My Adventures with Superman, and Hailey’s On It!. Others are new additions, such as God’s School, Static Shock, Hazbin Hotel, Avatar: The Last […]
Oh Vernestra. You’re rapidly getting in over your head and if there’s a season two of The Acolyte, it’s an easy bet to make that all of your machinations are going to start unraveling faster than you can say Darth Plagueis. But, I have to say, even though much of the episode played out in […]
Well, so the truth as to what really went down on Brendock sixteen years ago wasn’t exactly what I predicted last week. For one, Vernestra doesn’t appear to have anything to do with that particular incident (although I suspect mine – and pretty much everyone else’s – prediction that she has a connection to Qimir, […]
Something is rotten in the Jedi Order. At least that’s the major conclusion I’ve come to following “Teach/Corrupt,” a much quieter episode than past installments of The Acolyte, but one that – from its title to the conversations contained within – was designed to make sure we began to question just who might have the […]
Star Wars: The Bad Batch is an action-adventure sci-fi animated series created by Dave Filoni. He is the creator of Star Wars Resistance and Star Wars Rebels, and supervising director of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Tales. For over eight years, Filoni has headed Lucasfilm Animation, which has produced all Star Wars-related animated series […]
One of the hallmarks of a great episode of TV is that it can take you through a gamut of emotions throughout its journey to the end. And that’s precisely what “73 Yards” did, as we walked along with Ruby as she not only attempted to solve the question of just who the woman following […]
Hailey’s On It! is a comedy-adventure animated series by Devin Bunje and Nick Stanto. Both are well-known writers and producers. This is the first animated series they’ve created together. Both wrote on series such as Phineas and Ferb and The Replacements. This is the 95th animated TV show produced by Disney Television Animation, since its […]
