Fair enough. As I admitted, this type of crossover story is not my usual cup of tea, but overall, I'm generally enjoying it, and now that I got my nits picked, I plan to sit down, shut up, and enjoy the rest of the ride.

in my book, any more than (for instance) "cockerpoo",

Well, I'll admit "Ryger" does roll off the tongue slightly easier, so mea culpa. I guess my inner Getter fanboy had a vein pop on his forehead and just had 2 get that out of his head.

However, I'm afraid Ligers are quite real:

Well, I wasn't so much complaining as I wasn't sure how they fit into UF at first since my introduction to them had so little familiarity with the source work, but now I do. Also, I hope I get to see more scenes with Mojo Jojo, he's unbelievably hilarious.
