Dragon Half & Watching Vintage Stuff

Posted on July 22, 2008 by super rats

One of the new guys in my D&D 4E campaign brought over Dragon Half to watch while waiting for everyone else to show up. I’d never seen it before and it was fun to watch. Everything about it felt different from the stuff that comes out now, especially the character design and art style, obviously, but it’s kind of surprising how different the humor feels (and in some cases how similar). It just feels looser. It’s like there’s spaces for things, even though in Dragon Half it’s a constant stream of gags and hyper characters.

Mink is a dragon half, which sounds odd instead of saying half dragon. She’s crazy for Dick Sother, a multi-class singer/warrior, so overall pretty lame like a 3.x Bard, but is supposed to be awesome. Skip. A plot rundown just doesn’t really make much sense here. It’s a gag show, so plot doesn’t really matter as long as amusing stuff happens. It does. The end credits were kind of interesting in that it had cut scenes away from the credits. Not seen anything like that which I can remember.

My-Otome, The Beach, Denied

I’ve been so busy lately that I actually have a backlog of everything, not just anime, but my other loser activities as well. Times like these I go for funny and junky stuff like My-Otome, that admittedly, is not quite as good as taco rice (an Epic Win), which is actually healthy while still being junky, and that’s enough to rank taco rice higher than My-Otome, a show that probably isn’t healthy at all. Still, I think I’ll take My-Otome every time, no matter how much trans fat it may have.
