Samurai Jack (2001–2017)

Something cartoon creators should look up for.

[10/10 · 26 August 2010]

I've been watching Samurai Jack as soon as it appeared (for more than seven years now). And I must proudly say, that not a lot of cartoon series have surpassed this Genndy Tartakovsky's masterpiece. This cartoon has everything!

First of all, the tone of the cartoon if just right. The-samurai-on-a-mission-type feeling blends perfectly with the futuristic surroundings. Much props to cartoonist and the composer.

But the thing that stands out the most is definitely the creativity. Every episode has something new to show. The plot devises are often outstanding!

Every time Samurai Jack appears on TV, I'm always up for it!

Gossip Girl (2007–2012)

A dirty pleasure of mine, if you will

[8/10 · 26 August 2010]

Usually, I'm not a huge fan of something like Gossip Girl, but it seems that it has become a trend for me to enjoy shows like these. First, The Hills and now this.

At first, I watched GG just to make fun of it. The drama that these young and spoiled (but i must say handsome and beautiful) people have to deal with seemed so distant from my own life experience. But, the more I watched the show, the more I got hooked, to the point that Gossip Girl became my addiction (I know, that sounds sad, especially considering the fact that I'm a guy!). Though, I have to say that the reasons for this are pretty logical or at least I hope they are.

First of all, I like the setting. Glamorous-New-York-type surrounding are something that attracts me. I've never been in New York, or in USA for that matter, but that is exactly why I like Gossip Girl.

And second, I like the middle class characters in this show - Dan, Vanessa, Rufus Humphrey and so on. Especially Dan with his adventurous, almost Peter Parker type lifestyle and, of course, his huge... emmm... bookshelf.

Currently I'm trying to get rid of my addiction. We'll see what comes out of it.
