In other words season 2. Except for a relation to the main antagonist and having the same characters the story is more or less unrelated completely to season one so I'm not getting uber spoiled (yet...).
Anyway I just wanted to say I heard the coolest thing ever this morning on it.
While Orphen is fighting a tree (don't ask why, it just happens to be a monster, ok!?!) during (where in the japanese version he'd be doing his incantation for a laser blast basically) he says this:
"I never thought I would be fighting a tree.....So why don't you make like a tree.....AND GET OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!" *laser blast* *KABOOM!!!*"
Reference of complete win had me rolling for ten minutes or longer.....
gotta keep an eye on his other finishing taunts now to see if I can catch more references, lol.

Orphen eh? I never got it. It was a game, and I saw a bit of the anime(movie?) and it looked alright. But I donnoe...
I think the 'make like a tree' line is just infamously delicious. But having it durring a tree fighting scene sure helps add to the hilarity XD

Heh, halfway through the series as far as I know at least, All ties with season one are cut completely... lol
It's fairly entertaining, even if most of it feels like filler. It follows more of a cartoon television formula, where most of the episodes have little to do with the main story (although I'm sure that'll change near the end...thing's have picked up a bit after the halfway mark so we'll see).
It seems it might be a running gag (in both english and japanese) for Orphen to steal phrases from other things. In the japanese version Orphen said something dramatic and Majic commented on hearing that somewhere else (or it sounding familiar, something like that).
