I’m sad to see Captain Earth come to an end, but on the plus side at least we won’t have to hear the nonstop bitching and complaining every week. Well, for a series that was more BONES than BONES in ways both good and bad, it seems only fitting that […] Read more
Puck you! You had to know this was coming sooner or later, and as we’re running out of “later” that only left one option. While all the monkeys were running around trying to execute their plans to foil each other, Puck was Captain Earth’s giant ace-in-the-hole – compared to the […] Read more
Yup, that was as BONES as it gets. Welcome to the “Eureka Seven episode” of Captain Earth. It’s tempting to label the director and writer of CE as the “Star Driver guys” but there’s a hell of a lot more in their resumes, both at BONES and outside. I think […] Read more
If next week was the final episode, this one’s ending would have me worried. As is, not so much. The engaging if somewhat scattershot Captain Earth continues to steamroll towards the end, with the big players all showing their hands except for one, who’s keeping them very close to the […] Read more
For a show who’s strength is its characters, Captain Earth is starting to prove mighty deft with plot. Captain Earth certainly isn’t going to stake out a place in the top echelon of BONES sci-fi shows, because that’s an extremely elite group. But damned if it hasn’t turned out to […] Read more

If you didn’t look too closely you might be forgiven for mistaking this for a breather episode, especially in the A-Part, but there was an awful lot happening up there on the Tenkaidou. Captain Earth continues to scream headlong towards a mighty […] Read more
Here’s the lesson, Puck – now that you have pants, keep it in them. I suppose one would be entitled to a certain amount of surprise that Captain Earth ended up having as much structural integrity as it did, given the inconsistencies in the first half and the writers involved. […] Read more
More than ever, I’m glad I stuck around. I know the complaints about Captain Earth are never going to stop, and Lord knows it’s not a perfect series (though I would question why someone would want to stay with a series for 18 weeks just so they can repetitively bitch […] Read more
Many an old friend made a welcome return appearance this week. I’ve missed you Salty Dog, with your arrogant incompetence and your ridiculous coffee-cup communications system. Captain Earth has turned out to be quite good fun after all, which I always felt it had the potential to do but it’s […] Read more
Douse yourself in water, and repent – heso forte is back! Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon: Crystal – 02 So the new Sailor Moon turns out to be a bi-weekly series, interestingly enough. And the second ep turns out to be somewhat better than the first one, though I pretty much […] Read more
