Disney Channel adventures continue

[meganbmoore]

On Disney Channel, they're currently showing a cartoon  (modern times) about a dragon who is has a massive crush on the daughter or granddaughter or something of a dragon hunter who is obsessed with catching him, and he goes to school (High School? Junior High?) with her as a normal student and they sneak around frighting monsters and Totally Not Dating and she is all "We should not do this anymore due to that whole bit where I'm supposed to hunt you down and imprison you and no doubt use you in some arcane ritual!" and he is "But I like you and our love will be stronger than that!" and they go around angsting and fighting monsters and crushing on his part and her co-hunters saw them fighting together.

When I was 12, I would have thought this was the most awesome thing ever.  It's...err...actually enjoyable.  In its way.

I also saw That's So Raven for a couple hours earlier today.  I kind of loathe it.  I think I'm offended by how a lot of episodes seem to be Raven having a vision where she makes a mistake and there are consequences and then it's revealed that none of it happens and so she doesn't make the mistake and never actually has to suffer any consequences or learn.  There was one episode where she had visions and kept trying to stop them from happening and ended up making them happen, but it didn't really help.

Ooooh...my Rose of Versailles torrent just finished...

Is that American Dragon: Jake Long?

The only reason I wish we had cable is for the Disney channel and possibly one or two more channels. But it wouldn't be worth the price.

Yay, Rose of Versailles! How I wish the manga was translated so you could read it.

(BTW, speaking of classic shoujo, have you ever read/seen Glass Mask? IMHO I think it would be up your alley, as it has some thematic overlap (in my eyes) with Hwang Jin Yi)

Ah! So that's the plot of American Dragon! I watched one episode and was completely lost ^^;;;;

yeeeaaaaah..."That's so Raven" means "That's so anti-climactic", really.

You know the funny thing? The voice actors for those characters? Are same ones who do the voices for Zuko & Katara on Avatar.

Jake Long would be a cool show if they didn't try to insert all of the slang and things that irritate me about modern children.

Or at least, it would be a slightly better show.

Jake Long, American Dragon, maybe?

Jake Long is pretty good your right (though I find it super hilarious that the voice actor for Jake is Dante Basco and the one for his love interest is Mae Whitman--Zuko and Katara from Avatar the Last Airbender).

Disney...oh Disney...there was a time when Disney was way cooler then Nick for me. Now Nick has iCarly and I can't stand Disney's stars at all.

I think you saw a season 2 episode of American Dragon. Which is sadly vastly more well written than season 1, if you can even imagine that. :/

Thankfully they killed the show at the end of season 2.
