I Am A Nerd -- Go, Go Samurai & Polaris

Due to popular (one comment left by Bryan) demand, I will be doing another nerd segment.

And come on guys! I know you read this. I see the numbers. I average about 25 views on each post. Not amazing, but it would be nice to hear from people other than Bryan. By the way Bryan, I appreciate your feedback. (Bryan's main blog can be found HERE)

"Rangers together, Samurai forever!"

The premiere episode of Power Rangers Samurai aired on Monday. It started off with an AWESOME remix of the original theme song.

The episode opened up in what I think many would consider a weird spot. We are just thrown into the characters, without an introduction. The series is supposed to correspond almost directly to its sentai counter-part. Oddly, this episode corresponded to episode 3 of Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, not episode 1. As an episode, it was average Power Ranger fare. The rangers had a bit of internal conflict, a monster showed up, and somehow that monster's appearance helped them resolve their problem. As an introduction to the series, it was terrible. Everything had to be inferred. I am not one for being force-fed information, but this is a show for KIDS. At least explain how their powers work.

If you missed the episode, it re-airs on February 11th, on Nick, at 8 pm Eastern.

Onto the next thing, eh? I've been watching a new (new to me but quite old) show. There is a hint in the title of this post. If you can't get it from this, here is another:

Yep. I have been watching Fist of the North Star. Being the massive pile of testosterone that I am AND a huge anime fan, it is amazing that I am just now watching this classic.

For those who don't know, Fist of the North Star is about a man named Kenshiro who is a wanderer in the post-apocalyptic world. He has a fuzzy but violent back story, and he is a man of honor, saving a littler girl's life in the first episode. What makes him so formidable? Simple, he is a master of Hokuto Shinken (北斗神拳 - Divine Fist of the North Star). In short... he makes heads explode. It is a great show, and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes a good story and doesn't mind some violence. You can find it HERE, on Hulu.

Also, it has an AMAZING theme song!

This has been a rather music-intense post, with all the theme songs, huh? Well, I have one more for you. Time now for this post's end song.

This song is called 'Second & Sebring'. It is preformed by my all-time favorite band, Of Mice & Men. This isn't my favorite song by them (that is for another post), but it is probably their most widely appealing.

I am excited to get feedback on the song and the post as a whole.

Until next time!
