Now I finally have a use for that 1977 almanac I have lying around.

I'll be sad if they don't capitalize on their older audience by having someone call her "Sabrina the Teenage Bitch"

Just watched the first episode and got a kick out of it. It took the wealthy uppercrust vapidness of Clueless and mashed it up with some pre-teen anime fan's Newgrounds creation. It has as much to do with anime as Totally Spies, but much like that show, it revels in how absurd its creative decisions are such as its love affair with the bourgeois NY high fashion scene and classical music. Hiring Jaden was icing on the cake with his love of self-important monologues about the emotional state of humanity, but spoken through the indifferent, spotty delivery of an amateur VA with a Voice Acting Alliance account. It revels in its pretentious cast and dialogue, but with the script, animation, story, and acting of a Deviantart creator's passion project. This is not a good show by all accounts. There are a few people who are really eating up their roles like Jason Schwartzman. The other characters are, for the most part, voicing as if they're playing themselves. The only times it stood out in a good way were those random Richard Ayoade appearances where he plays along with the terrible script by cheerfully delivering every line as a salesclerk. Whoever voices Helena stands out particularly as just as bad if not worse than Jaden. However, I got many laughs from the "so bad it's good" vibe the show gave me, like where Kaz is interrupted from sleeping in his own custom made grave to lecture an old man about spraying his late wife with her favorite perfume because it is out-of-fashion, Kaz trying to calm down the possessed Helena by taking in her designer jacket, the field hockey game, or the catty rivalry between Kaz and Archangelo. Jaden's monologues about his crumbling emotional state were great too, especially undercut with the dry responses from "one of our finest actors," Jude Law. I'd be convinced that this could've been made as a cheap live-action show or with more Westernized art, and nothing would've changed. The anime aesthetics are present to look as hip and trendy as the show's personality, but because Totally Spies went out of fashion more than a decade ago, the whole show feels like it was made as a joke. Where it was made less for entertainment and more as something to air muted on an LCD screen in a high fashion designer store as if it's artwork by Takashi Murakami or Sebastian Masuda to act as visual candy while they spent their fortune on the newest couture. For further reference on what I'm talking about, see FFXIII's Lightning modeling for Louis Vuitton, the Gucci campaign with Jolyne Kujou of JJBA, Kanye West and Gwen Stefani's 2006-2009 love affair with Japanese artists, and other things. Its anime/manga/JRPG influence have no bearing on anything other than the colorful, stylized aesthetic fitting well with the vision of lively high fashion. However, the TS similarities make it less like Harajuku Girls and more like Derelicte from Zoolander. In the process, I feel like I ended up sounded pretentious writing this, but it's what first came to mind once I finished the first episode. The TL;DR version is that this is a terrible show that I had alot of fun laughing at/with. I'm looking forward to seeing if it gets any better or worse, but in comparison to other really terrible shit that's shown up on Netflix lately, I had the most fun with this shit.

The whole solar system orbits around her, and she still feels like she isn't the center of attention?

Deku? DEKU!?

So how long did you spend trying to find Zeni?

It looks like the white dog is into the roleplaying, but the brown dog is having a hard time committing to the role. Something along the lines of: "Oh baby, you like this thiccness!?" "Yeah, sure. I guess."

I'm a big fan of tea and coffee.

I guess he got happier once he put some clothes on

I still don't have wifi because AT&T, but it's good I have something to look forward to once they stop milking people hit by Irma of our data. I guess there's also YOLOing it by watching the show in public with Starbucks wifi. That might be more fun.

What a twist!

Was the dream of the 90's still alive there?

If they did their own version of Change the WorLd with Lakeith Stanfield L, it might actually be a good movie. If it's another Light Turner adventure, it'll be another "so bad it's funny" film. I'm glad at the very least it was more funny-bad than boring-bad. I think the movie gets funnier if you imagine the characters from the manga doing what their movie counterparts thought were good ideas.

All that bullshit is for the birds, throw some bread out
