In an episode that is almost completely filler (even by BakuTen standards), the team decides to take a break by visiting the grand opening of a posh water/amusement park. While Leo shows of his manly chest/pubic hair in his speedo (er, I guess this is fanservice…), most of the girls don rather reasonable swimsuits [...]
At last, it’s finally time to learn how some of our cast met. In this flashback, Meg is still a young hoodlum with undyed hair. One of her posse of orphans finds a conked out Jo and decides that Jo must be an angel. A crazy burst angel. Unfortunately, one of [...]
The final episode in the Osaka mutant brain arc ends with a spectacular bang, and justifies the wait. After their last defeat, the good guys are forced to regroup and re-plan. Jo tells Leo to outfit Jango with some wings, and Takane has her gang of biker chicks search for the hideout of [...]
Jo and Takane have a little spat at the police department, before Sei shows up to bail Jo out. On the taxi ride back, Sei spots the logo that has become synonymous with “mutant brains” and has the taxi tail a truck. It’s a trap, but nothing that Jo can’t handle with help [...]
BakuTen makes up for the crappy episode 10 by bouncing back with the most totally awesomest episode so far! Check this out: Jo is assigned to protect the actor who plays Masked Rider, because the super fake Sentai-esque show (DDD aka Dream Danger Dynamite) generates a lot of income for Bai Lan. There [...]
Amy is infuriated when she finds out that some hackers have been putting up pictures of mecha/bugs/tanks/dragons with her head superimposed on the images. She is not about to let this slight go, but stuffy Sei won’t let Amy spend the whole budget getting phat lewts of +10 haxxoring. This means that Amy [...]
Sei drags Meg and Amy along to a tacky party that is trying extremely hard to be Chinese. As the granddaughter of the leader of Bai Lan (”White Lotus”), she’s a star in this setting. Her Grandfather has arranged a marriage between her and Jay in order to join together the White Lotus [...]
Woo, two episode story about a giant crow-robot-mutant-man. Anyway, Kyohei apparently found a secret stash of mojo, because he is much less spineless lately. In fact, he’s even got a gal pal, Kazami. Too bad the giant crow thing kidnaps her (as well as other girls) to drain her lymphatic fluid. [...]
Jo enrolls at the school in order to protect Meg. Everyone laughs at how bad Jo looks in the ugly school uniform, but then everyone laughs at how Meg is getting fat from the school food. Girls are so mean to each other sometimes. It turns out that the food is evil [...]
Ah, episode 5. I have to admit that this is the episode that finally convinced me to keep blogging about BakuTen. After I saw David’s caps, I realized that this show deserved another shot. Anyway, Meg is gathering info on a swank school for rich girls because boss Bai Lan has [...]
Meg is trapped on the train with Wong’s brother Liang, and it turns out that Wong is the subject of some mutation experiments. The train is attacked by other enemy commandos who want the test results, and Wong breaks out in his new form. There’s some brotherly misunderstanding, and Jo shows up to [...]
Meg and Jo are at it again, this time stalking some maniacal Wong fellow in an alley. At the last second, some guys from Hinode Pharmaceuticals (their jingle is kinda catchy) kidnap him and take him back to an abandoned warehouse. They also stuff him into a tube and do some weird experiments [...]
Jango finally arrives on the scene, but not before the rogue cybot runs off with Meg. Fortunately, Meg is smart enough to take pictures with her camera-phone! At first Jo suspects that Kyohei is a spy, but the team quickly decides that he is way too much of a wuss to impact the [...]
