The Click

December 16th - December 22nd

Good morrow to thee, fine The Click readers! I'm back for more text descriptions and joke-based content regarding the most fun one could conceivably have while staring at a screen and clicking a remote device! Disregarding Nintendo's Wii console. Which I'm having to do at the moment, despite my minty-fresh component cables just arriving to my doorstep some hours prior. All grumbling aside, I've prepared a hearty look back at the year 2006, with all of the fun ups and downs and tepid middles that permeate such nostalgia! Following that, we've got some new shows on TV! Then some old ones! Remember, though: All dates and times are tentative, all times listed are Eastern, never get caught allegedly "intimidating" a witness scheduled to testify against you on totally bogus charges involving assault and numerous counts of fraud, et cetera.

Boy, 2006. Has it been a good year? What truly defines a "good" year? How can one truly "define" an abstract concept predicated upon personal opinion? Enough digression, let's turn back the calendar a good twelve months starting at January:

QUARTER 1, JANUARY - MARCH: The Click Does Not Exist Yet?! The Lone-Wolf Writer With A New Idea!

The Click had its genesis as the realization slowly dawned upon me that most of my anime consumption had, thanks to the brilliance of TiVo, been via TV. What an interesting concept, I figured; your usual stereotype of the avid anime viewer involves gobs of legally dubious internet downloads in the form of fansubs, with anime club screenings and legit DVD purchases eking out the remainder of their anime diet. Yet, there I was, on my day off work, catching up on all the Naruto and Samurai Champloo episodes I'd missed throughout the week with the same nerdish fervor regarded to the aforementioned methods. Shortly thereafter I contacted my close friend and proud Sponsor Zac Bertschy of an idea for a column about TV broadcasts, to co-exist alongside their regular list of new manga and DVD releases. The telephone conversation, I believe, went a little like this, if memory serves:

Z: "Hello? Who's calling please?"

B: "I-It's me! Hi! Wha.... what's up!"

Z: "Uh... Brian? That you? I can barely hear you - what's all that noise in the background?"

B: "That? Nothing, no, just a... little brawl going on here but, hey! I've got this awesome idea!"

Z: "Where are you? Are you okay? I haven't heard from you in over a year. What's going on?

B: "Oh no, no, my case is fine! Air tight! But listen, I've got this great idea for a column for you website! I think you'll really, really dig it! Pass it along to your boss because I gotta..."

Z: "What 'case'? How come I'm hearing lots of profanity and glass being broken in the background? Where ARE you?"

B: "Okay, so, the column I've got in mind, it's about anime on TV! Because there's a lot of it, and most people don't have the time to really know what's on, and when! Anyway I'll e-mail you about it once I, uh, get outta here, so... bye now!" *click*

Z: "Hello?"

Flash forward a few months, after my 90-day probationary period was up, and The Click made its glorious internet debut!

QUARTER 2, APRIL - JUNE: The Click Enters the Fray?! Brian Versus Reruns!

Around mid-summer I quickly realized that the Honeymoon I was having with anime on TV during The Click's inception was winding down. The shows that kept me glued early in the year, Samurai Champloo and Fullmetal Alchemist's grand denouement, were over. The novelty of discovering ancient relics like Black Magic M-66 on random movie channels turned to bitterness thanks to an endless stream of repeated runs. Big networks, and for anime standards I'm talking specifically about Adult Swim and Cartoon Network here, were growing increasingly impatient on the diminishing ratings returns their anime properties were taking, so hours and timeslots were drastically cut and rearranged at a moment's whim. Wanted to watch that new episode of Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo? Enjoy Marvel's Avengers Versus the Cool Neat Toy You Want to Buy instead! Even the kiddie networks practically threw in the towel, most notably 4Kids' practically comatose syndicated "4KidsTV" block, who, instead of utilizing the notion of using girl-oriented properties such as the numerous "Magical Girl" shows they had acquired into an asset, utterly squandered them and dumped much of them early on, frustrated perhaps that none of their new kid-friendly properties were quite taking off in the same fashion as Pokémon or Yu-Gi-Oh!. On a syndicated block during a time wherein TV networks have all but abandoned syndicated programming aside from old sitcoms, game shows, and Judge Judy? Ridiculous!

The only TV anime to thrive in this environment was Naruto, which is quite the testament to its prowess and prompted me to favorably compare its performance to that of Dragon Ball Z in years prior.

QUARTER 3, JULY - SEPTEMBER: New Shows Arrive?! The New Season Begins, Class Is In Session!

Toonami, in its heyday, would elicit internet fanboy gasps of both joy and sorrow practically ever moment. Remember when they announced their plan to air the first two episodes of Evangelion and other Giant Robot anime for an entire week of mech-themed programming? The Internet, particularly the ol' rec.arts.anime.misc, practically exploded. Four years later, ADV and Adult Swim announce that Evangelion will be airing, uncut and in its entirety, late Thursday nights. "What? Why? Who cares," said the Internet.

Gone is the excitement of prognosticating which anime series will wind up on TV, how edited it will be, and other such trivial minutiae. Perhaps because, unlike four years ago, it doesn't seem like any of these shows have the chance to really break out and become major hits; Outlaw Star had been a show that'd lived a mediocre life in Japan and sold mildly in the US, until Cartoon Network said they liked it, painted over the blood and nipples, and aired it to millions households across the United States at a comfy late-afternoon early-evening timeslot. People still bug the Cartoon Network to run repeats of Outlaw Star, despite their broadcast contract expiring nearly three years ago.

Thus, when a big, potential hit like Bleach arrives on the Japanese airwaves, and gaggles of IRC-dwelling fansub kids try to one-up each other by translating each episode worse and making the bouncy, utterly asinine "karaoke" song subtitles more obnoxious than the competitions', people automatically assume, and with good reason, that that series is utterly destined to arrive on TV. A given. Natch.

QUARTER 4, OCTOBER - DECEMBER: The Time That Is Now?! Oh Dear Sweet Hopping Lord I Think There's a Spider On Me!

And we arrive presently at the present. The new shows are few, and rather mild, but at least they exist.

Speaking of presents, here's what's brand-new and on your idiot box this week:

PREMIERES:

.hack//Roots
(Cartoon Network)
Saturday December 16 5:00am - Episode 6 "Conflict"

A rather nasty game glitch threatens the natural, digital order of things. Missing from the episode: footage of the MMORPG players angrily calling and threatening the tech support people.

Basilisk
(Razer)
Thursday December 21 5:30pm - Episode 25 "Destiny" (Repeats Fri Dec 22 12:30am)

Yikes, Razer's can't-beat-it trifecta of anime goodness is wrapping up! Too bad they only have Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo, two of the best anime shows ever, to take their places. Alas and alack!

Anyway, dark ninja action concludes with the fate of the two secret scrolls being decided and other fun, violent things.

Bleach
(Cartoon Network)
Sunday December 17 12:00am - Episode 15 (Repeats Sun Dec 17 3:00am)

This episode's subtitle: "National Lampoon Presents Bleach: Kon and His Hunt for (crude sex euphemism)!" Yes, as the show takes a quick one-episode detour en route to the next season-spanning "Soul Society" story arc, we get to see Kon attempt to get his groove on.

(YTV)
Friday December 22 10:30pm - Episode 16

Oh, the "Soul Society" arc? That starts here - Rukia becomes the target of some seemingly unsavory characters sent on a mission to retrieve her, with lots of action and drama ensuing of course.

Daigunder
(Toon Disney)
Monday December 18 3:00am - Episode 28 "Maybe the Grass Ain't Greener"

Super Robot ACTION-TIME START! Watch it or die! Can you do any less?

Eureka 7

Sunday December 17 12:30am - Episode 34 "Inner Flight" (Repeats Sun Dec 17 3:30am)

With practically the entirety of the Gekkōstate intact, in spite of Holland's grand gesture in the prior episode, the 'state sets off once again to establish peace between the human race and the Corallian.

(YTV)
Friday December 22 9:30pm - Episode 15 "Human Behavior"

Renton and the Gekkōstate arrive in a small, sleepy villa known as Controrado, to which Renton once called his humble abode. And just when he's trying to show his gal, Eureka, around the digs, the United Federation Fuzz shows up and totally blitzes his mojo!

Fullmetal Alchemist
(YTV)
Friday December 22 10:00pm - Episode 42 "His Name Is Unknown" (Repeats Sat Dec 23 1:00am)

It's the final season of FMA, Canada! Along with the final confrontation between Ed and Scar, you finally get to see the totally bitchin' opening song and animation set to the totally kickin' Asian Kung Fu Generation. Rad!

-Monday December 18 8:30pm - Episode 5 "And Then the Rain Will Fall"
-Tuesday December 19 8:30pm - Episode 6 "The Five Masks"

Week Two of Gad Guard on G4TechTV's much more sane and viewable Canadian equivalent continues! This week: a rash of GADs are heisted from various museums, causing all kinds of chaos and such! Egad!

Idaten Jump
(Cartoon Network)
-Thursday December 21 6:00am - Episode 5 "Reveal"
-Friday December 22 6:00am - Episode 6 "Hidden"

It's a show about bike-racing. Let me guess: the kid with the fiery red hair has dreams of being the best bike racer ever, while the kid with the glasses and the fanny pack is a nerdy tech-savvy kid with dreams of being the best bike mechanic when his friend eventually becomes the best bike racer ever, and other such spoilers.

Naruto
(Cartoon Network)
Saturday December 16 9:00pm - Episode 66 "Bushy Brow's Jutsu: Sasuke Style"

Sasuke finally arrives on the scene, to much applause and kudos, and proceeds to assault the evil Gaara with moves lifted from Gaara's former opponent; the crippled Rock Lee. Meanwhile, questions arise as to the kind of training the cheery Kakashi took upon the lone "revenger."

Samurai 7
(Razer)
Thursday December 21 5:00pm - Episode 25 "The Last Battle" (Repeats Fri Dec 22 12:00am)

The traitorous Ukyo has an army numbering in the thousands and a fleet capable of leveling entire towns - yet, the brave and noble Samurai still remain, faithful to the Kanna village to the bitter end. Man, what great guys.

Trinity Blood
(Cartoon Network)
Saturday December 16 11:30pm - Episode 15 "The Night Lords I: Return of the Envoy" (Repeats Sun Dec 17 2:30am)

So called "Return of the Envoy," I suppose, because of the role Sister Esther and Father Abel occupy in returning an imperial envoy, Ion, to Byzantium. Y'know, I was raised a Mormon, but I still have no idea where the hell they get these crazy biblical names. Well, except for Abel. Byzantium? Must've slept in that Sunday.

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX
(Cartoon Network)
Saturday December 16 7:30pm - Episode 84 "Generation neXt"

Execrable advertising slogan, or the title of this week's new Yu-Gi-Oh! episode? Considering Yu-Gi-Oh!'s role in blurring the line between outright marketing and entertainment, perhaps it can be both! This week: a Chancellor initiates the Duel World Cup, causing probably card dueling to occur!

Zatch Bell
(Cartoon Network)
-Saturday December 16 9:30pm - Episode 74 "Pamoon, the Celestial Warrior"
-Saturday December 16 10:00pm - Episode 75 "Free Yourself From a Thousand Years of Pain"

Zatch and his human and totally platonic traveling companion Kiyo befriend Pamoon, a kindly mamodo with a real jerk for a master, whom the titular character convinces to dump and move on with his life.
