I've been waiting to see this movie since it came out in September, but I missed my chance. Wasn't in the theaters long. Anyway, I finally got off of my fat ass, went to Blockbuster and got it yesterday.
First off, the first thing I saw when I watched this film was that it had a definite Korean feel to it. Every scene looked like it could have been perfectly filmed as an anime. Although the script the actors had to say was crap, I think they all pulled it off. At the same time, this looked like a Sci-fi Saturday movie, with new characters coming in just to get eaten or shot and never showing up again. In addition to that, I can't believe how badly they screwed up US millitary tactics. In the scene where the M-1 Abrams tanks are going up against the giant ground dragons, they each form up into two neat straight lines and start firing at around 100 yards, missing nearly every shot. The A-1 can hit a person at a mile and a half! God... On the upside, if you... well, don't close your eyes, that defeats the whole purpose. But if you pretend really hard that this is an anime, I'm sure that it'll be a lot more appealing to you.
Final score 7/10 See it if you're into dragons, or like Korean films.
Hentai forever,
Kyouger.

Reviews of all Abridged Series
Alright, now. I'm gonna do something a little different and do a comparison between three abridged series: Naruto, Yu Yu Hakusho, and the original, Yu-Gi-Oh. All three of them have their strong points that make them good. BTW, Naruto is made by MasakoX and Vegeta3986, YYH is made by Lanipator, and as everyone knows, YGO is made by LittleKuriboh. Of these four masters, only LittleKuriboh and MasakoX have been taken off Youtube.
But first, a message to all people trying to make an abridged episode with just a microphone: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STOP! I can't count how many brain-numbing, ear-bleeding Bleach abridged series I've seen, much less suffered through the first minute of.
Alright, first up is Naruto Abridged. A friend told me about this a few months ago, and I've been hooked ever since. It has a huge cast of extremely funny characters, and it is quick to point out the stereotypes in Naruto, such as Sakura always PMSing and never being touched in a fight. Rock Lee's Beatles haircut is also and item of much ridicule. Plus, who can forget Gaara of the Funk? The only problem with this abridged series is that the episodes in the beginning were only 5 minutes long, as opposed to the 8-9 of Lanipator and 6-7 of LK.
"Psst, Naruto, aren't you going to stop them?"-Sakura.
"Why?"
"He's hurting Konohamaru!"
"And... you assume I care?"
"Oh. I thought you did."
"Nope!"
"EEK! OMG, NARUTO, YOUR TOTAL LACK OF COMPASSION IS SO HOT!"
Now onto the first, and still considered by some to be the best, Yu-Gi-Oh abridged. This was the first Abridged series ever made, and sparked a world of controversy with Youtube, eventually ending in him being taken off the site. Regardless, he still continued to make the videos on his site, and deticated fans of his keep posting them on Youtube. This abridged easily has the most episodes, with over 27 if you count Marik's Evil Council of Doom and YGO: Cr*psule monsters. The jokes are still awesome, and the stereotypes really make you think WTF were these guys thinking when they made this series? On the downside, it seems like every male character in the show is either gay or a shemale. This mainly applies to Pegasus and Bakura, but it spreads over to other characters too.
"Hey everyone! Look at me! I'm Seto Kaiba! I have a dragon fetish and I sound like Brock from Pokemon! Screw the rules, I'm in love with Nurse Joy!"-Yami.
"That's it Moto, you're f*cking DEAD!"-Kaiba.
And so the last one, and in my opinion, the funniest is Yu Yu Hakusho abridged. This was the first violent anime I ever watched that I actually realized was an anime, and not the TV screwing up. Unlike the other abridged series, Lanipator's videos are relatively long, at 8 to 9 minutes long each. Plus, he regularly has "specials" with his characters, such as the renowned Yusuke Rants videos. He also has a few v-blogs. Plus, the thought of Rando being a rapper is probably the funniest character I've ever seen. Watching the entire series, though, is kind of hard when it takes around an hour and a half.
"I'm gonna pop a spirit cap in yo ass, sucka!"-Rando. (I love that line.)
I would totally suggest that anyone who hasn't watched any of these should definetely check them out. The best place to go would obviously be youtube.

Writing tip #1.
Hello again, hentai readers of earth. Now, believe it or not, writing is actually very hard for me. Except for when I'm alone in the house, I have a host of distractions waiting for me at every corner. It is extremely hard to concentrate when Live Free or Die Hard is playing on TV (Which, coincidentally, it is now.) Now if you're an up-and-coming writer, or if you're an experienced one with a few problems actually typing a story, try distracting yourself.
Yes, you read that right. Distract yourself. Believe it or not, blaring metal music in my ears actually helps me type my most tender scenes between Kurenai and Tsunade, because it clears my mind, and I can concentrate on making those scenes as tender as I possibly can. If you have internet every day of the week, and no dial-up connection, youtube is a great site for listening to some music. Myself, I prefer Dragonforce, Through the Fire and Flames. It's 7 minutes, which means I have to restart it less. Listening to music is a great way to blot out distractions, at least it is for me.
Anyway, number 1 in my ongoing writing tip series.
The next chapter for Like Mother, Like Daughter should be up by the end of the week.
