Man, maybe Adventure Time has jaded me to weirdness(taking way too many classes on postmodernism doesn't help either...). When Utena fans say something is weird.....damn.

I guess I'm just not used to weird if it doesn't involve internal organs being creatively rearranged

I am a terrible person. That's awesome.

Hey, have you ever heard of Vermilion Pleasure Night?

Don't click if you're afraid of needles.

Full Episode with English Subs!

I HAVE INDEED, YASHA. I haven't watched a full episode, but I'm a big fan of a lot of their sketches--particularly the English lessons, Cathy's House, and Midnight Cooking. I have too many things I need to watch--a great first world problem. I'm also a fan of OH! Mikey, another strange Japanese thing that I can't convince anyone to like.

I'd love to get an episode of Wonder Showzen linked, but Viacom. Especially the episode where God commits suicide and they cannibalize his body. There are some episodes that are unwatcheable though due to Any Kaufman-like antics--especially the "Patience" themed episode where they literally stop the show and play the entire first half backwards. The first time I watched it, I thought, "There's no way they can do this for the entire rest of the episode, I'll keep watching." I underestimated them terribly.

Totally agree with you, Light. Although I think Bee is still a bit better than that even because most shoujo protagonists cry at the drop of the hat(Usagi, Miaka, manga!Lina Inverse). I think a lot of shoujo protagonists are just mediocre to the point of me wanting to scream SHIT GET IT TOGETHER. I know it's supposed to be average and make me feel like I can put myself into their shoes and relate, but I think it goes too far most of the time. But everyone, even if you've had some schooling past high school, has pretty much been in Bee's situation once in their life.

Eh, Viacom actually released all of the seasons on DVD, so I can't blame them for protecting it(unlike sometimes when companies never release anything for a show and still fiercely guard its use). And sketches and parts of episodes haven't been taken down, so they're not shooting themselves in the foot.

Anyway, I'm always glad to see practically anything in children's media that 1)has a female taking an active role, and 2)actually tries. A lot of the girl-oriented shows from my childhood.....blerrrrgh. If they had superpowers, they were weird and exceptionally fluffy vague ones. Rose Petal would somehow fight evil spiders with her Marie Osmond voice. Lady LovelyLocks had...magic hair? I honestly don't know what the hell she did. Rainbow Brite fights people with color somehow. I'm pretty sure Strawberry Shortcake couldn't do anything. I think I might have been just a bit too young and missed She-Ra, so the closest I had was Princess Guinevere and the Jewel Riders--which I bought the toys too and made up my own infinitely better adventures to than the show. All of these protagonists were perfect beyond belief. No wonder I lost my mind over Sailor Moon when it came on TV. Even if Usagi's personality was crappy, at least she HAD ONE.

Well, Bee certainly complains loudly at the drop of a hat... for five seconds.  Then moves on.  XD  I think that's part of why I like it.  It's all the fun of shoujo, without it taking ten minutes of still frames and internal monologue to establish personality, emotion and motivation.

I loved this Bee and Puppycat episode. I thought it was hilarious.

I've only seen the first episode, but I'm pretty sure there's going to be a second one. Maybe I should have said "I love Bee and Puppycat so far."

Hey, guys. Just wanting to update you guys that, if you liked this show, they now have a Kickstarter. I'm trying to promote it not just because I personally like the show, but because it probably won't get funding otherwise. Steven Universe, a cartoon pilot made about the same time and from the same stable of creators from Adventure Time, has already gotten picked up. But it has a male main character, even if he does seem to be the lamest among a supporting cast of awesome females. Mike and Brian, the makers of Avatar the Last Airbender, said that executives didn't want to pick up Legends of Korra because it had a female main character and they said little boys wouldn't watch it. It was only after they did market testing and showed it to little boys who loved it regardless that the executives agreed to pick it up. And Mike and Brian have had a previously successful series that ties into it, so what hope does a show like Bee and Puppycat have?

Getting this show fully funded by community support will be a concrete way of showing executives that their ideas are based on outdated notions. You should be able to have a series with a member of more than half the population and have it succeed. I know it's more than half-funded right now with over half-way left to go, but I've seen promising Kickstarters lose momentum before. Especially with so much needed to make a show--those have the worst history of not making the goal. So if you liked this show and you have some discretionary cash to spare, please consider giving what you can. If you don't have the cash, please repost somewhere to spread the word.

We did it, guys. Bee and Puppycat got enough support for nine episodes.
