This week on High Kick, we’re on a rollercoaster of love for some of our characters from the early stages of infatuation, to a little bit of heartbreak.

Aw, this week finally got a few tears out of me. High Kick 3 is pretty good even on an ordinary episode, but when it’s good, it can be really good, which we get with this week’s last installment. Note: Only three episodes aired this week, due to yet more pre-emptions. The constant pre-empting of... More »

Week 3! High Kick 3 is continuing along nicely. I don’t watch it expecting to laugh out loud, although it’s been managing a nicely light, humorous tone. But where it really shines is in the poignant character beats, the stuff that happens between plot points when a connection is made, a friendship struck. Best of... More »

by | September 7, 2011 | 37 Comments
Ah, the family tree/relationship chart is out for High Kick! Counterattack of the Short Legs, which is great for getting a quick overview of the cast/family structure.
