The Same and the New

Brad tried Pop-Tarts cereal, which apparently existed in the 90s too but I don't remember it either. I haven't seen it in the store yet, but I don't go to WalMart and they usually get everything first. The Nilla banana pudding cereal was pretty good if you like bananas and marshmallows. It wasn't too sweet-tasting, which is good. I wish there were actual banana-flavored Nilla wafers instead of lemon. I also picked up Fruity Lucky Charms, so that should be interesting.

What I said about Teen Titans Go! over New Year's still holds true - cute outfits on Raven, but Robin needs to stop hitting Beast Boy for no reason. It would've been better if Starfire's Johnny Appleseed was planting seeds with one hand and flipping off the animals with the other, but they're not going to cross that line. The Girl Scout cookie episode was the best one in a while with the way Starfire went power mad selling cookies. People do like the thin mints.

Power Rangers Beast Morphers is awesome. The place where they're training in the beginning looks a lot like the original youth center. The plot kind of resembles Jungle Fury with Blaze being a jerk to future Red Ranger Devon. Devon, much like Preston, is the mayor's son. Nate's adorable and says Billy's catchphrases (although "phenomenal" instead of "morphinomenal" is probably for the best). Originally he was listed on the Wiki as the Gold Ranger but they have the Gold Ranger's identity as TBA now. Maybe it was a spoiler or they changed it like they did in Dino Charge. Zoey's introduction reminded me of Sophie from SPD for some reason, probably because she's a low-level trainee. I don't see why Ravi and Roxy couldn't still date even though they're both  Ranger candidates. It's not like that's ever been a problem before, but apparently this organization doesn't like dating in the workplace (but nepotism is fine, as Ravi is the commander's son).

The Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded light novel is set to come out in August (assuming no delays like with 358/2 Days last year). I didn't know one was written, but if it can clear up anything else that the new cutscenes didn't, that's great. Otherwise, it's still a big waste of everyone's time (recapped in Rong Rong's nutshell video by Namine messing with Jiminy's journal and DiZ telling her to stop). I wonder if Back Cover or any other part of the mobile game's story will be adapted. The only one I know of that's still to come is Dream Drop Distance. I assume the side stories were combined into the omnibuses of the games they would've taken place in.
