On Finishing Batman: The Animated Series
Jul. 21st, 2013 05:41 pmWhen, a while ago now, I reached what I'd decided would be an adequate stopping point for watching DVD sets of The Simpsons, I pondered a few other options for watching North American animation and wound up returning to Batman: The Animated Series. Some years before that, I had bought the first DVD collection of that show, part of a general mix of "finally being able to really afford anime" and "keeping up with assorted cartoons," if one that did leave me thinking I really ought to at least try and watch some live-action stuff. (That urge added a bit of impetus to starting the new Battlestar Galactica, although when Doctor Who returned not that long after I thought more "this ought to be interesting" than "this will be somehow 'good' for me.") When I never saw the package the second collection was supposed to be in on my doorstep, though, I went to slight lengths to get the anime I'd missed out on but just sort of left Batman.
