Romper Stomper Review

The second episode of Romper Stomper was much, much better than the previous one. In fact, this one was pretty dang good. The show is very controversial. I am really surprised it was even allowed to air on television. It had to receive a lot of criticism along the way. The only thing that really sucks about the show is the cheesiness of the anti-fascist group. Nevertheless, the rest of the story makes up for it. The episode was very good. It scores a 9 out of 10.
