Unboxing: Loot Anime – September 2016

Got it on the last day! Still, counts right? First off, had a minor mess up in the middle of the video. Sorry, probably won't do it this way again because as you'll see, I didn't have the camera aimed where I fucking thought I did for about half the video. I will say, this is probably the best Loot Crate/Loot Anime I've gotten. If my brother wasn't a Bleach fan, I would have kept everything, but otherwise, I'm happy with what I got. I hope there's more like it in the future. Also, here's a picture of the watch since I didn't want to fuck with it while recording. 20160930_114107

Unboxing: Loot Anime – August 2016

Get back to school with this edition of Loot Anime, still an awkward name. Just embrace the "Crate" aspect of your business already Loot Business. See, "Crate Business" sounds much better. Anyway, the theme is school. High school. And if you can afford to get this, you're not in school. To be open, it's mostly crap this month. Like... really bad crap. If you skip watching, we won't blame you.

Unboxing: Loot Anime - July 2016

Just in the nick of time right! Well sit back as we unbox Anime Crate's goodies from July. The theme this month is "SQUADRON" and that means things like GATE, GUNDAM, ANTI-MAGIC ACADEMY and more!

Overall it was just an okay box. The shirt is thankfully not their usual heavy ass cotton, but the rest is just... meh. I mean who the hell wants a thick ass scarp in July? I hope the next one is better, but much like I did with Geek Fuel, I'm looking into other anime boxes to check out because this one is going for super mainstream items, but delivering the bottom of the barrel from those properties.

Unboxing: Loot Crate Lvl Up - July 2016

Whooo! Thought we weren't going to get this one which would have been a damn shame! This month's Loot Crate was great, but as always the Lvl Up add-on is just way better. There's more stuff from RICK AND MORTY, VOLTRON, FUTURAMA and more! Thank you for watching and hopefully these are just boring messes of vidoes... though I am still figuring out which setting work best on my new phone.

Unboxing: Loot Anime x Crunchyroll - June 2016

We have another Loot Anime unboxing from Loot Crate. This is the June box in which they teamed up with Crunchyroll to curate the box if you will. Now that you've watched the video I'll give you my honest thoughts... it's an okay box. The thing is, I'm not into either anime that was featured so it's kind of meh. That and I don't need any more Nintendo items thank you very much Loot Crate. I get that Nintendo is easy to work with and they merchandise like crazy, but I've gotten something Nintendo related every month, sometimes twice since starting this experiment. I will likely never wear the shirt, but I will read the manga. That was the best thing provided in the box. Here's some pictures to round out my review.

Unboxing: Loot Crate - June 2016

Welcome back to another ComicBastards.com Loot Crate unboxing video! This time we have June's Dystopian Future box along with the LvLUp addition. Finally the stars aligned and we were able to make just one video for you viewing pleasure. Watch before reading the rest or it won't make sense. I'll be straight up with you all, this month's box sucked. So did the LvLUp bag that I usually enjoy. There was one good pair of socks. The Star Trek ones turned out to be for women which is cool for them, but not for me and my big ass feet. The shirts were... not good. The Ghostbuster one sucked and is way too thick. The District 9 one is fine, but it really seems obscure like they were just looking for something and the Robocop one is cool, but I'm already getting annoying comments about it being from Loot Crate. Meaning I'm going to rarely wear it if ever.

Oh and the Matrix Puzzle... no one wanted that. Couldn't give it away unlike Loot Crate who did.

Here's some pictures as well.

Video: Hero of the Month: Harley Quinn | Episode 205 | DC Super Hero Girls

Okay... we all know why I'm posting this. Its that image they used for the video. I'm not going to say it because it's a children's cartoon, but come on. Someone knew what the fuck they were doing when they picked that image. From DC Comics:

[su_quote]Harley Quinn stars in this week’s DC Super Hero Girls animated short as Super Hero High’s newest “Hero of the Month.” Debuting today on the DC Super Hero Girls website, the all-new episode unveils the most heroic (and wacky!) good deeds that earn the Crown Princess of Crime this prestigious honor.[/su_quote]

Video: Quinn-tessential Harley | Episode 204 | DC Super Hero Girls

I've never sat down and watched one of these before. It's not bad. I doubt I would watch it on the regular, but for a kids cartoon basically just using the characters and introducing them to a new audience, well it does that. It's no different from any other cartoon other than the fact that there's a rabid adult fanbase for all of these characters. Also, just testing out the videos again so watch it or don't, I'm not here to live your life for you.

In this week's episode titled Quinn-tessential Harley, Harley Quinn becomes an overnight celebrity when her video blog goes viral. The Crown Princess of Crime must learn to balance being a Super Hero and her new found fame.

Video: Game of Thrones + Mario

I'll be completely honest, I haven't watched Game of Thrones. I know enough about from memes, the internet in general and just really annoying people saying "oh my god, you've goT to watch GOT!" If you didn't read that in a Valley girl accent (which doesn't exist anymore by the way) then you read that wrong. The real reason I posted this is because it's Mario and I wanted to test videos on the new theme. I'm wearing my superstar socks and so it felt right to post.
