One Shot Posts: Dragon Pilot

Anime 

     One Shot Posts time!  A segment on the blog here where we find something to talk about that might not fit into other categories and spaces or lets us be more free wheeling.

  This time we are talking about  "Dragon Pilot: Hisone and Masotan" an Anime series from 2018 (because that's how we roll) and for the first time on here a look at a series that was only on Netflix so our first Netflix series ever to be talked about this blog this is big day.  Now, there are reasons why we kind of  stay away from Netflix talking and other things but I don't want to bog down this post.
     


          The series is a quite interesting one. The main character ,a woman named Hisone Amakasu, has recently joined the Japan Air-Self Defense Force ends up going to a secret hangar and finds a dragon. The defense force is using dragons for military stuff  because, of course.  Anyway, she was made a dragon pilot (roll credits).  Since the dragon likes Amakasu she ends up becoming his pilot. (how sweet)
             
aww he likes her / Copyright Netflix I guess probably them 
                     

        There's another pilot we meet in the first episode named  Nao Kaizaki who seems to be a little aggressive.  The OTF (Organic transformed flyer) /Dragons are  disguised as fighter planes (because of course) and Hisone has to now has to teach it to how to be a fighter plane.  Oh, and the way this works is the pilot has to be inside the dragon's mouth.  She gets mad and storms off after letting out steam.  She has habit of saying  things that are on her mind.  Later on, she goes to the dragon after trying to connect with him and he ingests her.
                           
 It's that kind of show/ Netflix 

        Because of this they are flying around. With some help Amakasu seems to get some understanding of how to work with this.  The first episode was fun and pretty good and entertaining.   Now to episode two.

                Now there's a a character named Hiroki Ikushima who is tasked with making Amakasu's flight suit.  Nao doesn't like Hisone very much and her plans to mess with her doesn't work.  Hisone tries to think of a name for the OTF   and she also learns that Nao was in line to be a dragon pilot because her mother was one and follow in that line. Hisone tries to ask the dragon to take Nao as a pilot  but that doesn't work.   Nao runs off and Hisone asks if she  she go find her  but first she asks for the dragon's forgiveness after she hurt his feelings earlier too.  Nao ends up being a dragon pilot too now!  Oh the dragon has a name - Masotan.
                     
                   Copyright Netflix 


     The first two episodes are pretty fun and this series has a nice mixture of comedy, slice of life, action scenes, and drama to work out well. I really like the main character her personality is interesting since she tries to restrain herself from saying whats on her mind showing a stark contrast to how she is when she talks.

  The animation and designs are nice I like the styling of the animation and characters and Mastotan's design really nice and distinct.   From the first two episodes it was very fun to watch and if you can handle a lot of dragon barfing up people scenes (its not graphic).  I  may come back to this show on the blog in the future. So check it out on Netflix if you have it it's both subbed and dubbed.

  That's it for us now, tune in next time when we get outside of this bear, uh send help!

The Loud House : Cooked!

The Loud House Nickelodeon 


 Previously on Joshuaonline:  Lincoln Loud Quantum Leaped back home after all.  Now on Joshuaonline:


     Now it's time for me to dip into a Loud House special , this is one is not a holiday special. This episode was also the season finale of season 3 of the series but aired before they finished the season because Presidents' Day.   Let's a take  a look at Cooked!

        Lincoln tell us (yes us) that it's the grand opening of his father's new restaurant called Lynn's Table. (That's because it has one table?)  So flashback,warm nights  we are shown how the family took an old sea food place and turned it into a new restaurant.
Sadly his insurance didn't cover this because he didn't have Farmers'/ Copyright Viacom

The montage goes through the demolition and remodeling, inspection that Lisa apparently is one of those inspectors you can't bribe. (joking , we know real inspectors don't take bribes and are upstanding in their job. Psst here's your twenty) Also this show has a character named after a former voice actor of Lincoln ,Grant Palmer, who is voiced by that former voice actor. (Not inception)  After Lynn Sr. hires his friend and Grant there's more restaurant stuff to do in the montage taste the food. Now back to the current time and Leni hits Lincoln with a door by accident. (Maybe?)                    
Great, Now Lincoln is dead/ copyright Viacom 

Lynn wants them to promote the opening but there's a typo and says Gland Opening (laughs). The Loud kids decide to take the job of publicity.   Lincoln's idea is to do a TV commercial. Lisa is bottomless fries (she's not wrong), Lori says photo booth (it's not like teens have phones or something), Luan is birthdays, Lucy has something, Leni has bingo. With 11 options it's 11 way tie. (Democracy is a failure)    
                                      
Math for fries apparently/ Copyright Viacom. But she's not wrong fries work! 

        They get into a fight and and break up and Lincoln goes ahead to film his commercial. Which, consists of him going all undercover to other restaurants.   Lincoln and Clyde show Lynn the commercial. 

Darn sensationalist lying media /Copyright Viacom 

     The commercial is very entertaining it's better than have those bland forced commercials we really get on TV. It feels like a true quirky local business ad that we need more of on TV. (ppst what are you doing? You need to stay on track on our topic at hand). Yeah whatever, anyway it seems that the other Louds  have also done their own promos , what could go wrong?  More after the break. 

         Introducing the Wifi couch there's no point to have a wifi couch it's really stupid idea but you know , oh wait got distracted by the commercial break. 
WWE Smackdown coming to FOX this FALL /Copyright Viacom 

     Lynn Sr. waits for the g(l)(r)and opening of his restaurant. It seems Lincoln and Clyde's commercial worked.  People have begun pouring in like beer at a (insert sport here later and make it look like we forgot to add the sport in when we publish it). Lisa comes offering her promo and tells her father that bottomless fries is her idea and people have poured in because Lisa isn't wrong I'd go to a restaurant for bottomless fries.   Now what could go wrong? Hello Luan let me guess you have a promotion too, uh oh.  Her idea is birthday fun and her plan works too.  That's 3 kids ,so what about 4th?  Hey Lori, nice photo booth. More teens did show up because of course.  Lana's idea was bring your pet. Some has a pet Eagle (I'm the calling the police)  Lynn Jr's promo was free food if it's not done in 15 minutes and it's been 8 minutes. (Good work) 

Luna's plan was to traumatize small children/Copyright Viacom


                      Leni does bingo. (Hey Bingo and Fries , this my kind of place)   Lynn tries to stop the craziness and then Leni kills him. Now he's knocked out cold and the Louds fell bad that he's having a bad opening day (and also dead now).  They decide to work together run it while he's out.  First Lincoln stops all promos but people decide to stay. Also 95 Lynn food name puns.
That's it I'm calling the police and the health inspector, this place is going down/ Copyright Viacom 

          Lucy ,who has been barley in this episode, shows up not knowing what happened and says she got the local news lady, Kathrine Mulligan to come and do an interview.  So, they do what normal people do, they "Weekend at Bernie's" this interview.

This works. She's not a very good reporter/ Copyright Viacom
      Lynn Sr. watches his interview on TV and is impressed and the special ends with the Louds doing name pun foods.

       I really really enjoyed this special , where as when it first premiered  they were doing this airing with it every 2 hours like 4  times and I watched each showing. I think it's my favorite non-holiday special for the show so far. The comedy was high tier and so was it's heart. The promotions fit the Loud characters very well and were creative. It was really nice to a culminating of events go so well with a happy ending. The pacing of the special was nothing dragged out to long to be annoying like the fight or the promotions.  It's really fun special that if you haven't seen you should see.  

 We will return to Loud House specials and other episodes in the future. (There's going to be a fifth season so, I  better hurry up on writing about seasons 1-3 then get to four at some point) 

 Tune in Next time when have to bribe inspectors to be happy with us after saying inspectors like bribes. We are are really making this worse for ourselves.

But First These Messages: C.A.R.S (CARS Automobiles Road-masters Sudans?)

But First These Messages 

       "I'm Sorry, Mrs. Patrick but your husband is now  a, a , Clown!"
       
         More "Days of My Children's Light" will be back after these messages.


             Probaly the  prevalent product sold through television is the automobile.  There are car commercials during the news, during sports, during soaps, during re runs of King of the Hill, during cartoons, during that show where people talk about people murdering people, and so on and so forth.  So, it's our time to take a look at these machines and how they are hawked to us.

 But First These Messages..

       First off, I  decided to have rock drive way but what kind of car should I get to park on it?

   

      They said I was crazy for having a driveway that looks like a rock slide hit it but, it's more secure than their stupid gates are.

             
Pfft yeah that's good if you want your to get easily stolen.

Yeah there's only Jeep and I'm so rich I bought it! 

        I'm so rich I have recently acquired a time machine and have gone back to the 1960's (I'm also so rich I have the internet in the 1960's to write this blog post on) anyway, I need a car for my 1960's family that I also somehow acquired.  
     
  
            
             A yes a station wagon prefect for me and my 1960's family of 60's wife and 60's daughters and 60's son.

                     
 We packed too much! Can't close trunk! 

It also doubles a bed? Nice! 

           You know what ? If want a car to have a bed then I should get a truck! 

   Yep that's more my style! I take a green one please!

                 
 Great for those tight fit roads! 

                *Whispers* am I still playing the rich guy? I don't even remember anymore Time to look at the average American family and their average American car. 
                        
      
       Well dang 1990 animation was amazing those two cars look almost real, it's amazing, modern animation can't even do that!  Look at that wonderful drawing work it's great!
 
                 
           He got a Corolla wagon, you can't beat the pinnacle of cars 


 Lisa doesn't want to be there at all
