The New Young Justice

My disdain for how things have gone down for this Young Justice cartoon has been pretty well-documented, but I've moved on because the show is happening whether I want it to or not, and Greg Weisman has a track record of making good cartoons.

I love the fact that this has brought back interest in Young Justice, plus they're having a comic book that's in continuity with the cartoon.

Anyways. There was a thirty second trailer I intended to post last night, but decided to postpone till this morning. This turned out to be a good idea, as they've released an extended trailer with basically part of the episode now. Have a look. It's pretty much the already leaked trailer from before but dialogue's been added and the quality's better.

Still makes me want a new Justice League cartoon though--16 members, just like this one.



Also I'll toss in the trailer of the G.I. Joe cartoon airing the same date as the Young Justice premiere, November 26th (my birthday!). The series will be airing on the new Hasbro network, The Hub.



Art needs work, but I like it a LOT better than that Transformers Prime trailer.

Feel free to comment on how you like these two shows in the comment section, folks. I'll be trying to be a tad more regular with the updates over the next month or so.

A Little Bit of Courage Volume 2: It's a Robot! A Goddamn Robot!

So, there's been a title change.  It's might be the most obvious title possible, but it fits far too well for me to toss it.  Anyhow, when we stopped at the end of volume one , Negima was still a fairly standard harem series.  There's lots of cute girls and the series is literally drowning in fanservice, with boob size contests and every girl getting upskirted everytime Negi sneezes.  Volume two is where Ken tries to make some slight changes to the formula, carefully introducing some fringe shonen tropes.

Mahou Sensei Negima Review Part 1: There's No Way A Ten Year Old Can Be A Teacher!

Image
Hi, guys!  Welcome to the newest column on Jumping in Headfirst, where I discuss one of my favorite manga ever: Mahou Sensei Negima!  Negima was created by mangaka Akamatsu Ken, most famously known for his work on the archetypal harem series, Love Hina .  After Love Hina's massive popularity earned him a spot as one of the most famous mangaka of his era, he followed up with Negima.  What initially looked like more a more fantastic version of Love Hina, the series gradually transitioned from a harem series into one of the best shonen manga I've ever read, complete with a massive, well developed cast, deep lore and amazing fight scenes.  (Ones where "friendship" isn't the sole reason for every victory.) Unfortunately, few people are aware of Negima's story improvements or genre change.  Once a manga gets an anime the attention shifts entirely to the adaptation.  It makes sense: the addition of voice, music, and motion create more immersive experie...

I Read A Ton Of Superman Comics And Wound Up Angry At Man of Steel

Image
  (Reposted with minor alterations from my Resetera post .) I've always had the opinion that Man of Steel is a fine movie.  Occasionally my stance is it's a great Dragon Ball Z film, and a mediocre at best Superman film.  It never really made me angry, because there ARE some good parts to it. But last night I read Superman: Birthright and Superman: Secret Origin, and the more I read of each one, the more I realize that I only think Man of Steel is "fine" when viewed in a vacuum.  When specifically compared to Mark Waid (or even Geoff Johns') comics, Man of Steel goes from "yeah, whatever" to embarrassing.  How could anyone have looked at that film and thought it could be a decent representation of Superman?    The best parts of it are the beginning where they show Kryptonian society, and the fight scenes (like I said, DBZ).   It's boring-ass muted colors and a Superman film that's trying so hard to get across a bunch of lazy metaphors a...
