Oh MY GOD!
This is a plateful of disappointment, this is a crappy imitation of Cowboy Bebop, this is probably what an episodic Thelma and Louise would look like – and I didn’t have to have seen that movie (I’m a guy, dammit!) to know that both suck. Well, other than the fact it’s two girls driving…SOUTH, right?
Why am I not posting pictures? Why bother? It was boring, boring, boring, bang (the music went bang, that is), and super bland and pointless. No plot development anywhere to be found – even if you were trying to find it using a binocular, not much of character development – wait, there were some? Where? AND NO ACTION! One! ONE! ONE DEAD BODY! And Nadi didn’t fire one shot before she was put out by that kid – with (gasp! SPOILERrRRRR!) pass out mace spray! And neither Nadi nor Elise killed the dead guy – he just got shot by somebody! Count it, ONE body! AHHHHH!!! And not a shot was fired the whole episode, except before and after commercial break, when they show these still pics that tells you they’re going into commercial and coming back from it!
More great music which tries to make the whole thing move and be active, but watch without the music and you’ll fall asleep within seconds – I know music helps a lot, but come on! Action music goes with ACTION! Or real conflict! What conflict?????
Woe is me, for El Cazador truly does suck big, smelly sombreros and Tequilla bottles.
Oh, and the Western Style music in the beginning actually has nothing to do with Mexico.
My score for this show so far up to eps 3: Absolute Zero save for the music.

My thought: HAVEN’T THE CLAYMORE FAN SUB COME OUT YET???

“No plot development anywhere to be found – even if you were trying to find it using a binocular”
Actually, thanks to this episode we now know more about LA. Shouldn’t that classify as plot development? In any case, it’s a bit of character-development – something you also didn’t seem to notice.
“AND NO ACTION! One! ONE! ONE DEAD BODY! And Nadi didn’t fire one shot before she was put out by that kid – with (gasp! SPOILERrRRRR!) pass out mace spray!”
Well, if you’re an action-junk, you probably don’t want to watch El Cazador, which is more about its characters, and how they deal with their pasts. If you want mindless action, go with Gurren Lagann.
“Action music goes with ACTION! Or real conflict! What conflict?????”
Actually, I found that moment pretty interesting. It makes things less predictable, doesn’t it? 😉
“HAVEN’T THE CLAYMORE FAN SUB COME OUT YET???”
Actually, they have. Didn’t you notice? (hint: Mahou)
Heh heh, I meant, hasn’t Claymore eps. 3 came out yet?
Haha…I watch Cazador because it’s in the line of action oriented shows. It hasn’t labeled itself as character oriented shows.
I rather prefer Black Lagoon anyway. 😛
And I’m no fangirl, I dislike bishounon. 😀
