Yesterday, MOGTV has its first anime special, to those who have missed it; here is a quick run on the show. The show kicks of with our duo, Diane and Sam imitating a team that uses a starry background and evil music background music. At first, I don’t get what they are doing, saying their own speech and that… until Diane revealed that it would be realistic if they wear a Team Rocket costume. Sam replied that they can’t because the show has NO BUDGET!
Opening credits starts to roll.
Note: I will only cover the anime related parts.
They kicked off with the news in which involves the sequel of Trauma Center, Trauma Team then news about the release of Pokemon Gold and Silver remake, HeartGold and SoulSilver.
The first segment was Interact in which they interview a group or an individual who made an impact related to the show, in this episode, the group was Mecha Pinoy, a group of Gundam aficionados which is now expanding to cover more mecha related franchises. Diane narrates their humble beginnings and what are they doing.
When I saw their Gundam collection, it made me drool. Seriously, it’s too many! The only Gundam figure I had is not the assemble ones, but a model one in which it has a stand and all you need to do is to combine the torso and the body in a click. It’s fixed. The model that I have by the way is Destiny Gundam from Gundam SEED Destiny. Because of the collection, it made me feel that I am not worthy to be called a Gundam fan. :(
Next, they featured their top 5 list. This week, top 5 anime villains. Here is the list!
5. Orochimaru from Naruto & Naruto Shippuden
4. Giant/Damulag from Doraemon
3. Prince Zardos of Voltes V & Prince Ulrich of Daimos
2. Majin Buu from DragonBall Z
1. Taguro from Yu Yu Hakusho/Ghost Fighter
Seeing the list… I. Was. Surprised. Damulag on the list, What the?! Because of the list, this made me conclude that the writers are only watching anime in their childhood years or they are certified 80’s to 90’s kids.
On their Wacky World Wide Web, they featured a funny Naruto Flash Animation which uses the opening theme from Season 5. Here it is.
On the Guru Reviews, when the Sam, using an Indian accent, he said, they will feature games that successfully crossed over to the anime world. At first, since they featured a retro villain list, maybe they will feature Ragnarok the Animation or Final Fantasy Unlimited, but lo, I was surprised, they featured Halo Legends! After learning that Bones, Production IG and other well known animation studios did it, I wish I had a DVD to watch it… and its 8 episodes!
Lastly, on their Tip and Trix, a segment which is about tips… and tricks, this week, they give tips on cosplaying.
That’s the quick rundown on MOGTV Anime Special. To be honest, this special was kinda lacking. It needs more anime juice! If it is an anime special on a gaming TV show, hope they featured anime games like FMA or Lost Colors. But overall, it’s a great episode. Oh, this episode is the finale of Season 2. See you on Season 3!
