This year, I sat down, I saw, and I experienced an ecchi-action-comedy series like none that I've ever seen before: Mouse.

Although not mainstream material, it has some appeal. The animation and character designs, for one, were great. Also, the English dubbing director cast just the right actors/actresses to make the roles believable. Case in point: Mouse's female "assistants". The voices make them utterly likable, to a point where guy viewers begin deciding on which one(s) they like best.

What astounded me the most was the creators ability to cram a generous amount of fan-service within each 15 minute episode. If there were a World Records title for "providing so much of one element in a TV show in such short run time," Mouse would get it hands down.

So if you like a mix of action, comedy, and sexiness, then Mouse is your ticket. But one thing though: Don't take it seriously. It's not epic japanimation like "Princess Mononoke" or "Howl's Moving Castle". It's a fun little series to watch, especially IMO on a Friday or Saturday night.

"Terrorvision" is a fun little slab of 80s cheese. With the costumes,(ranging from Yuppie to Metal Head to Cyndi Lauper) slang, set decor, music (including a 5 sec shot of Blackie Lawless from W.A.S.P. >:) ) props (including a hi-fi with the one of the first CD players.) this movie doesn't need carbon dating to show it was made in that era. I first came across this film on the Sci-Fi Channel in the summer of 1999 (the defunct Vestron Television was the ones who distributed the edited mess and judging by the edits made for broadcast, this was aired circa the late 80s when FCC restrictions were *really* tight) I kinda threw it off as a bad movie. Years later, I picked up the complete R-rated video at the local mom-and-pop video store and watched it. The 2nd time around was way better than the first. My opinion changed after seeing the full version. If you like classic B-movie material meshed with the 80s, this is your movie.
