Blue SWAT liveblog, episodes 1-10
(mo-ok I blame you)
oh the OP is peak 90's I'm in love already
their suits are so simple but so cute. and the antenna ears!!!!
"unlike a certain American elite soldier who served in Los Angeles' SWAT special forces" bro you're laying on the exposition a little thick there
actually this is gonna bother me if I don't look it up
oh okay they're at the police department level, not the federal level
I am now educated on the history of SWAT teams
old practical effects my beloved
so the aliens that are not from earth need earth money to fund their invasion. um. I didn't think the earth dollar/yen was that powerful
oh okay, they're taking over high-ranking officials and bribes to the right people would lower earth's defenses, I got it
it's gonna be real funny when I'm proven wrong and the earth dollar/yen really is that powerful
okay maybe watching this while I rewatch Lupat is a bad move
I have got to learn their names, otherwise I'm just gonna call them Keiichiro, Sakuya, and Tsukasa
(writes down on a sticky note) Shou, Sarah, Sig
holy fuck their boss is a badass, RIP tho
I have heard a similar trumpet line, where the fuck have I - ah, Back to the Future, right
the ED is peak 90's too
I don't know what I expected from a show that aired in 1994
Shou: guys please I want to follow my sports dreams! also I need an income since our bosses blew up
oh please tell me Seiji becomes their mission control
nvm he went into the building anyway, man's dead
"I'll go inside you" are we still doing phrasing
YES HE BECOMES THEIR MISSION CONTROL
maybe?
YES HE DOES FOR REAL-FOR REAL
her name starts with an S, you guys need to recruit her
YAYYYYYYY
the sounds for the aliens are so squelchy and off-putting, props to the foley team
oh no Sig oh no
Seiji: guys it's episode 4, we can't be starting this plotline yet
oh good, they can set aside "HOLY SHIT SIG WHY ARE YOU AN ALIEN" until the end of the fight
can someone please tell Sumire what they're actually doing lol
I. I don't think you can just invite yourself into someone else's combat train - oh you can if you look cool enough lol
well they accepted Sig pretty quick, I'm glad there's no "we suddenly mistrust a longtime ally" arc
Aliens: we really, really want to conquer planets, but without fighting because we need people to order around
ahhh this warehouse ♥️
oh I love them they're so stupid
oh yes please Mr. Bad Guy keep monologuing this is vital information
holy epilepsy Batman this kinda hurts
I guess CRTs did a really good job softening all of that
... should I try to find a way to play this on a CRT?
nah too much work and money but maybe as a project if I ever get bored and have disposable income
guh the alien speech behind the human lines and the filter are so uncomfortable, thank you sound team but also I am physically recoiling
Seiji buddy I'm sorry but why did you exit the van you cannot contribute to this fight
The Entire Team: Sig are you okay?!
Sig: so yes I recover faster than earthlings but there is still a gunshot wound in my shoulder someone please god get a first aid kit
oh damn he wasn't kidding he was up and at 'em quick
thank you Sig, provider of alien lore
oh right Sarah would've been there for the LA riots, shit
did they evacuate the park before - Seiji honey please get some basic combat training or stay in the van
... okay that was very helpful but still, basic combat training so you aren't an easy hostage
guys please tell Sumire something poor girl
oh sweetie don't tell me you paid $10 for that picture please tell me you haggled it down
honestly I don't know what these guys would do if Sig wasn't an alien
wait guys does his name start with an S maybe you can recruit him
no it starts with a T, RIP guy
oh wow I'm surprised they handed him a gun and let him avenge her
every time they use the tentacle mouth alien suit, I think "oh it's my friend an Ood"
were deadbeat dads common in 90s Japan? kinda insane that Sarah and Shou jumped straight to that
maybe I'm stupid and keep missing it, but are the invaded humans okay after the aliens vacate their body?
Seiji honey I'm so proud of you, now you gotta work out so the recoil doesn't kill you
this. went from legitimate body horror to slapstick comedy chase real quick.
oh good vacated invaded humans are safe
okay, my disbelief is unsuspended. guy comes by their agency with frankly insane requirements for a bride and Seiji hacks the computers of every hospital in Japan to help find a woman that matches all 500 requirements. bro.
wait oh fuck oh shit oh fuck
RIP the agency's finances
maybe they won't have to give back this large stack of money
they really need to come up with a defense for the electro-ball brainwave
toku warehouse number 2 my beloved
just because he has a gun doesn't mean (remembers I live in the US) ... okay yeah fair
I wonder if they've taken some sort of meditation/calming/breathing training to lower their resting heartbeats so the aliens don't sense them
the fucking Back to the Future horn line gets me every time fhdklafdjka
yeah sure I can accept that they have a psychic bond
oh noooooo they're still poor - wait no they're not poor!
oh wait no they're in debt
this is fun so far I like all of the characters and not because they remind me of my other favorite police trio
okay they do but they have their own merits
strangely, this show is making me want to rewatch Star Trek DS9
