Salad Fingers Review

     Ahhh shit! Swag!

     This is a review. A review of Salad Fingers. Biotch! It's a mothafuckin' series of short animations between 2 and 10 minutes long about... Well... It's about Salad Fingers. There's not really a whole lot I can explain there. It's created in 2004 by David Firth, a British cartoonist, filmmaker, and musician, using the baller life software known across the land as Adobe Flash. It's available to view on youtube, and it goes ham.

     I enjoy this series because it separates itself greatly from the heap of shitty web animations intended to be creepy. How does it do this? BY ACTUALLY BEING A FUCKING GOOD AND INTERESTING SERIES WITH SOME GAHD DAYUM SUBSTANCE AND MEANING TO IT OTHER THAN BLOOD AND GUTS AND HYPERREALISTIC EYES! AHHHHHHHHH!!! SOOO SPOOOOOOOOOKY!!!!!!!!! It features a combination of dark humor, disturbing imagery, and themes based around mental illness, isolation, and depression. When you watch this, you'll actually take something out of it instead of just feeling uncomfortable for a few minutes.

     If you don't mind a bit of weird and gross shit here and there, then watch this. It's far more worth your time than most videos on the internet. Go ham!

Note: I recommend watching the series from the beginning, but I chose to put the newest one on this post 

because it has top shelf animation, and more wackier going-ons.

Chaos;Head Review

     Oh shit sun. This one goes hard. Chaos;Head is an anime based on a visual novel about a schizophrenic dawg who witnesses a murder and does other neat shit that I can't really explain without spoiling things. Anyways, I'm finna get to the point I'm trying to make now.
     As I watched this show, throughout most of the series I thought its plot would remain for the most part on the surface and that I wouldn't find too much deeper meaning in it, that was until the moment. The moment in the series where the true meaning of it hit me right in the face. It was in either episode 10 or 11 (the show has 12 episodes). I can't really give you any context, because it would spoil everything, but basically, this thug ass shit is all about the concept of existence, and the acception and denial of it. Again, I can't say much about the plot since this part is so late in the series, but what goes down is the protagonist realizes that because he is concious, he exists, even though he was under the impression that he was not a real person and that everything he experienced was fabricated. It's some crazy shit dawg.
     Aight. So I done did gone and told 'em all how it be. This was a really great show, and I encourage the fine folks who read this blog (all 2 of them) to watch this crazy shit. Skee!

Korgoth of Barbaria Review

     It is some real pussy shit when a homie puts a lot of time into a pilot episode for a show, and then the show never gets made. This sort of pussy-shittery is exemplified by Korgoth of Barabaria, a pilot for a show that came to be. Adult Swim aired the pilot and announced in June 2006 that they picked it up as a series, but nothing beyond the pilot was ever created. Pussy-shittery indeed. The episode is about Korgoth, a barbarian in a post-apocalyptic world who is swindled into stealing a fancy statue for some wacky dude. It's some thug island shit.
     Aside from expressing my dissatisfaction with the fact that there will most likely never be another episode of this shit, all I really have to say is this show is funny as fuck. This is one of the rare instances in recent times where dumb, over-the-top humor has made me laugh my shaft off. It's just so wacky. It is absolutely beautiful! There's one scene in particular that comes to mind. It is from 5:51 to 6:44 in the video below. I replayed that part about 3 times when I watched this. It's diggity dank!
     Aight mane so I hope y'all like this little video 'n' shit because it is hard going. Enjoy!

Akira Review

     Aight homeboiiiz. Finna get reviewin' again. This time this shit be about Akira, a movie that I watched and liked and what not. It's a feature length anime film that was released in 1988, written by Katsuhiro Otomo and Izo Hashimoto, based on Otomo's manga of the same name. The movie is about a gang of young bikers from Tokyo in the year 2019 who get wrapped up in some wacky shit involving psychic powers and government conspiracies. This shit definitely swerves.
     The first thing I have to say about this straight up trill shit is that it has a really fucking dank soundtrack. It was composed by Shoji Yamashiro, who is also a really smart guy who taught at several universities and has a Doctorate of Agriculture and did a bunch of other really cool shit. The songs in the film are very percussive, and have a lot of instrument sounds like bells, woodblocks, xylophones, and plucked strings. It's very contrasting to the futuristic look of the movie, which makes it even more fitting.
     Even if you hate this movie and think everything about it is complete shit, it is undeniable how big of an impact it has made on Japanese animation, as well as animation in general across the globe. It is considered by many to be one of the greatest animated films of all time, with its art and writing being influential to countless creators in the TV and movie industry. The film spawned a new wave of anime fandom outside of Japan in the 1990's. This shit is just top shelf, and y'all bustas can't deny.
     Can't fuck wit it!

VVV Here's the entire movie right there VVV

Turbo Review

     Yo yo yo so this is my first review of a movie ya heard? Dis shit be dope! Hit it up! Turbo is about a snail who swallows liquid nitrous oxide and it transforms his body into a snail-car hybrid. What what what??? There's a taco truck too. This movie gets torqued.
     The dopity dopest thing about this dank ass shit is this swaggie song that's in it. I'll put it down there dawg. It drops so hard, and is certainly a certified hood classic. It has a really ill flow, and some sick wubz. I could go ham all night to it. I think everyone should bump this on their way to work everyday.
     This movie is so darn flippin' thug. I recommend y'all done be watching it, nah mean? Have a swoopin' day.

The Boondocks Review

     Right here we gots us a show that is truly dank as fuck. The Boondocks is a cartoon sitcom about the Freemans, and African-American family who moves from South Side Chicago to the fictional, primarily white suburb, Woodcrest. It is a satirical comedy, with humor revolving around race, social class, cultural blending. So far, I have watched the 1st season, but I definitely need to watch the other 2 because this is already becoming 1 of my favorite shows.
     This show airs on Adult Swim, however, it bears little resemblance to the referential ridiculousness of Robot Chicken or the brain melting terror humor of Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! Instead, it offers clever insight into American culture, as well as well developed characters and great dialogue. This is exemplified by the contrast between the Freeman brothers, Huey, 10, and Riley, 8. Huey is an intellectual and very adult-like kid who admires revolutionary leaders and social justice activists. Riley loves gangsta rap and saying "nigga" a lot. The dynamic between the 2 is great and very real, and it adds to the show's social commentary.
     A neato fact about this show is that the episode "Return of the King" won a Peabody Award in 2006. A Peabody Award is a recognition of meritorious public service by TV and radio stations. The episode was about Huey's dream of Martin Luther King's return.
      Mr. Elkin if you're reading this right now holy shit seriously dawg fo realz you should watch this show, it's really fucking good. It's right there! Watch it!

Trigun Review

     Trigun is an anime for straight ballers only! For real! Can't fuck with it! It is about a hood rat named Vash the Stampede, a lone gunman with a $$60,000,000,000 (pronounced: double dollars) bounty on his head. He mobs around with his homies Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson, employees of Bernardelli Insurance Society, and a priest dawg named Nicholas Wolfwood, through the vast lands of Gunsmoke, a planet that resembles the old west.
     Before I say anything else, I have to say that I appreciate  that this show's soundtrack had some drum 'n' bass in it. It wasn't even that good, but it was there, and I like that. I don't hear shit like that on TV very much.
     What stood out about this show most to me was the style of the animation. It was much different than any other show I've watched. I don't really know how to describe it, but most anime these days have a fairly similar drawing style, with only slight variations. This one is very different, and pretty darn dank.
     This a dope ass show homeboiii, so I suggest you check it out. Here is a link to the first episode. Swoop swoop. SwOoP sWoOp
