OR on Anthony Cumia and the State of Free Speech


Radio show host Anthony Cumia relaxes in his backyard.

Otaku Revolution is a mix of odd personalities. Of the four main contributors two are Opie & Anthony fans, one is a Howard Stern fan, and one non-affiliated. What we all share, perhaps to our detriment, is a propensity for speaking our mind.

This past week co-host to the Opie & Anthony radio show, Anthony Cumia, was allegedly attacked while taking photos around Times Square in New York City. Following the attack he went on a racially tinged Twitter tirade verbally attacking the person who physically assault him and the society which, in his and the mind of many, promote such physical confrontations. SiriusXM would later fire Anthony for his tweets. For more information here is an AP story about to the incident and a list of stories ran by various websites. read more

Batman Eternal #12 Review

 

Harper’s laptop ignites, Batgirl feels a slight, the city indicts, and father and son reunite in this twelfth issue of DC’s Batman weekly. We finally return to tolerable artwork, Tim meets the newest ladies in Bruce’s life, and it seems like Jason Bard has a plan brewing to halt the gang war. There are also a few pages dedicated to previewing the new Batfamily comic, Grayson, and if you think you know Nightwing, you don’t know Dick (actual DC product description), so that eats up some of the space.

What’s Your Beef?: Stop Milking Your Feud, It’s Udderly Ridiculous

So, it appears that a whole calvacade of folks come here (though it’s more likely to be the same one person posing as different people) just to fucking troll me about things that have largely been settled, because they’re pathetic and possibly have more time on their hands than even I do. So I’ve opened this entry up to comments where people can air out their greivances with me without bitching in any of the other article comments. Other articles are only about the things they cover, not your silly little feuds with me, so get it all out in the open here, get it off your chest, and then shut the fuck up and move on. read more

Dragon Ball Kai – Episode 110 Review

Episode 110,"Who is the World’s Greatest?! A Battle Royal Match to Decide!!
 

*****SPOILERS*****

Synopsis: Kaioshin is perplexed and dismayed by the behavior of the three Saiyans, who all relish the prospect of fighting strong opponents. Dabura volunteers to be the next stage opponent, and goes into a room to meditate to be at full power. However, Gohan, whose turn it is next, becomes impatient waiting for him. At the Tenkaichi Budoukai, the officials are having trouble deciding what to do now that many of the fights have dropped out. Mr. Satan, high on confidence, suggests having a Battle Royal, where all remaining fighters battle at once. However, Mr. Satan begins to lose his nerve when faced with the reality of having to take on four opponents who will likely team up on him as the champion. Killa tries to team up with Mighty Mask (Goten and Trunks), while Jewel attempts to broker a deal with 18, but Goten, Trunks, and 18 have no interest in the offers. Angry, Killa and Jewel attack their respective deniers and are immediately knocked out of the ring. Mr. Satan thinks himself lucky to only have two opponents, but that attitude fades when he sees Mighty Mask and 18 exchange blows above the ring.

Batman Eternal #11 Review

 

It must be Father’s Day in Gotham, because while Julia nurses her wounds, Alfred cleans rooms, and Steph watches her daddy fume, Barbara fights off a costumed goon in a country far south of Cancun. This is issue #11 of Batman Eternal and it guest stars little Red not so riding Hood and has bizarre imagery that’s eerily reminiscent of Grant Morrison’s Bat-run, of which I am not a big fan.

 

Yes, people talk like this, all right, in convenient exposition.

 

Let’s talk a little bit about Ian Bertram’s art. I can see why some people might enjoy the strangely stylized, distorted character designs that emphasize skin and cloth texture, but it doesn’t appeal to me whatsoever, and it ends up being about as cringeworthy as Riccardo Burchielli’s work in the previous issue. Obviously Bertram graduated from the Frank Quitely/Chris Burnham school of drawing, because most of the characters look like beaten leather bags that have been warped in the heat. It’s often very grotesque and off-putting, and not in a good way.

Gundam: Reconguista in G Trailer

I still can’t get a good grip on this yet. I might have to wait for at least the first few episodes. It’s Tomino, so t can go right or really, really wrong. Also, the G-Serufu looks like Gundam Exia by way of Victory Gundam. It’s like the TOMY version of Exia. Should I review it for my blog or what? (How do you pronounce the title, even?)

Dragon Ball Kai – Episode 109 Review

Episode 109,"Don’t Underestimate a Super Saiyan! Vegeta and Goku’s Full Throttle Power!"

*****SPOILERS*****

Synopsis: Pui Pui can’t land a blow on Vegeta due to his speed. Vegeta lands blow after blow on the hapless opponent. Babidi uses his magic so that the room is teleported to Pui Pui’s high gravity home planet. Pui Pui is confident in a win, but Vegeta is not impressed, as he trains in high gravity environments constantly. The Saiyan prince easily puts Pui Pui away. The room returns to the ship and the passage to the lower level opens. On the next stage, Goku awaits his opponent, who is a large monster named Yakon. Despite his size, Yakon proves to be swift, and manages to cut Goku’s gi. Kaioshin wants them all to team up against him, but Gohan says his father will be fine. To ensure victory, Babidi transports them to Yakon’s home planet, which is shrouded in darkness. Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan to see, but Yakon feeds on the light of his aura. At first Yakon is confident this will win him the fight, as he will continue to drain energy from Goku. However, Goku simply turns him his power to such a level that Yakon explodes. The passage to the next level of the ship opens and the Super Saiyans descend, leaving Kaioshin shocked.
