Green Team #1

Earlier this month, I took a look at DC’s new series The Movement whose tag-line involves “the superpowered disenfranchised.” Today, I’m discussing a comic at the opposite end of the spectrum: The Green Team. This new series, based on a 1975 one-shot by Joe Simon and Jerry Grandenetti, focuses on a group of teen trillionaires who use their vast wealth to acquire superpowers and fund wild adventures. Was the issue first issue as fun as a mansion party or did it crash like a poorly driven Ferrari?

It’s always good to see a beloved team working on a new project, and if there were ever a team that needed more projects, it would be the one that pulled off one of my all time favorite musicals Repo! The Genetic Opera. So when they announced that not only did they have a new film out, but that they were going on tour with it, I was heartbroken to find I would just miss it because I would be moved out by the time it rolled into New York City. However, it has finally been added to Netflix and I could watch it as many times as I wanted, even though I’d never get to experience the tour. So how does this short film hold up?

Let’s take a look at The Devil’s Carnival.

With seven episodes into each show, it might be a little late in the season to call them previews, so let’s do some impressions. Writer Laevatein has already offered his thoughts on Gargantia but considering how many episodes have come out since his thoughts my opinion should be a bit more comprehensive. The other show I’ll be covering today is Yuyushiki, a cute little slice-of life comedy show premiering this season. With Gargantia also being a slice-of-life title, it’s somewhat surprising that these two titles have anything in common considering their vastly different first episodes, but looks can be deceiving, of course. So, without further ado, let’s dive in~

Starshine’s Setlist: Samidare Bijo ga Samidareru – Juice=Juice

Every so often, a new group makes its way into the world and tries to sell single. Or, well, at least in Japan they do. New to the stage is Hello!Project’s new egg group Juice=Juice (pronounced Juice Juice. Why that equal sign in there I will never understand.) and they are still in the indie singles phase. For those of you not in the know, some companies in Japan will have new groups release “indie” singles to test the market and see how they’ll do before making their official debut. So as their second venture out into the musical arena, how do they fair?

Let’s take a look at their new indie single, Samidare Bijo ga Samidareru.
