clock king? OLOL moer liek cock king! m i rite?

Justice League Unlimited - Episode 17: "Task Force X"
Great to see JLU back. It was cool to see that the opponent of the League were pretty close to regular humans this time. I expected Captain Boomerang and Plastique to be on Task Force X, but Clock King was a huge surprise. It was cool seeing a villain like him back again. Action was good, not quite up to Teen Titans level though. This Cadmus plot continues to get more and more interesting.
Rating: B+

Power Rangers SPD - Episode 16: "Boom"
Yay, filler. Boom's fantasy at the beginning was amusing as was the arrival of his parents. I liked how Boom got to be an actual ranger for a brief time, helping out with the capture of the device. It is his specialty after all. I was hoping they'd give him a real morpher for the mission though. I'm very interested in this Morgana character, though I have a feeling the accent's going to get on my nerves.

W.I.T.C.H. - Episode 16: "Ghosts of Elyon"
Worth the two-week wait. Will's side-story with the mother was pretty typical stuff. The story is a staple of any series involving teenagers. The main plot was much more interesting. The Guardians used some creative ways to figure out which of the Elyons was the real one. The storming of Phobos's castle was also very cool. The second attempt in the bunker was also fun to watch. Caleb was cool in this episode and they continue to throw Cornelia and Caleb's relationship in our faces. I'm looking forward to what Elyon will do in the next couple of episodes.
Rating: B+

Samurai Champloo - Episode 2: "Redeye Reprisal"
Not quite as good as the previous episode. Mugen and Jin going on their own plots was a nice way to showcase their individual skills. Nice samurai action as in the first one. Dub continues to be nice, as far as I can tell. I was a bit dissapointed by the lack of all the rap scratches from the first episode. Why did Mugen just kill the deformed guy when he stopped?
Rating: B

Gundam SEED Destiny 30, Trinity Blood 2+3 and Gunslinger Girl 1-5 to come later.
