DAMMIT DAMMIT I've been waiting for the Fatal Fury episode for ages, and now it's here and my laptop's power is almost shot and I gotta go to sleep so I can wake up early in the morning and do grown up stuff and BALRGERLBLARGELBLARG.
Five stars sight unseen and don't you make me regret violating the ethics of star-giving like this.
Hard to say exactly what makes this show so watchable, but Arino is an outstanding host. He manages to be very engaging without ever trying to ingratiate himself.
Arino is a big part of it but the production and editing paces the show perfectly. There are so many ways this could have failed as a show if they just set a camera on Arino when he played without any kind of overview, play action or commentary. It's well-balanced.
