Minky Momo 2 - A few more episodes watched. Some fun bits. There's a video game themed episode. Mama's addicted to a RPG! The hero disappears from every cartridge! oh no! Momo decides to fix it. Between the 1982 show and 1991, what happened? Basically most of the Famicom, Epoch's 2nd console, Sega's home consoles, and a few others. There's fun details here, go look it up!
Bad Girl - Finished. Had more fun with it. I would wish it was a higher production adaptation, but honestly this is one where the voices and faces were funny enough for me to stick with it and want to look at the comic. I hope we get more in the future.
Abaranger - Started this because it was what I had on hand when the power went out. I think this is when the CGI started to get a little cheesy for me. I like cheese. I may end up being fine with it. Actually kinda looking forward to more episodes so it didn't put me off. Was disappointed that the grandpa and the glasses girl didn't henshin. Wish Toei would do a BD with mixed resolution stuff for super sentai. Tho, wasn't paying attention enough to check if it was 480i video fps cgi shots and film framerate mixed content. raaaaarely seen that done well on home video.

PKMN Legends ZA: Power may have went out, but also I dove into Z-A. Just had to go to the RPG that works for me right now. Still don't know if I can rec to anyone not already in a certain mood for it. Gotta like pokemon. Gotta be down with the games being jank. Those character desings have to be something you like. THere's less NPCs that feel out of place than SV to my memory, but they're still there. I don't even like all the messy gameplay i'm running into but it's holding me more than arceus. I'm willing to blame mood because this was a "I feel like crap so I'm going to play a new game no matter what" impulse buy. praise be discounted giftcards at costco. Good reminder that the switch has a "free" battery backup but that it's held down by inefficient Nvidia. (it's probably known normal for that kind of hardware and graphics but it still feels bad that I got 2ish hours from 80% something battery. Especially when the 3DS was already pushing my personal preference for dedicated device battery life.)
