Top 5 Modern Cartoons

Well hello there cartoon lovers since my last cartoon themed list did pretty good i thought i would return with another one but this time focusing on my personal top 5 modern cartoons i must however state that this is just my own personal list so please don't hurt me :P

5) Ben 10 2016 / The Powerpuff Girls 2016

i really couldn't choose which one to put here so i went with both of them just because these two shows for me at least are pure escapist entertainment and since i never watched the original Ben 10 i can't say which is better and while the new Powerpuff Girls is indeed pretty bad it does have some good voice acting and some good episodes.

4) My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

I went with this series over Adventure Time because of two reasons the first being i couldn't find any reasons why i liked Adventure Time and the second being that not only has this show brought together two generations of fans but it also teaches you lessons that we as adults could adhere two every now and then.

3) Steven Universe

This is at number three because while it does have great writing and great songs since i only started watching the show near the end of season 3 i don't have that connection that the die hard fans have so this is more of a personal thing then anything else.

2) Milo Murphy's Law

This show to me at least is really strange but it has great witty dialog which i love and i find my self laughing at least once in nearly every episode plus it has Weird Al and that's a win for any show.

1) Mighty Magiswords

This show is just freaking funny as hell it has a premise that i havn't seen before the jokes nearly always hit and i like the animation it reminds me alot of shows like Tiny Toons and Animaniacs where they have these great funny leads and then surrounded them with crazy side characters and plots.

My Top 5 Iconic Cartoon Vehicles

Hello there cartoon fans you know i was thinking today about my childhood and things that really stuck out especially from cartoon shows and then i thought well why not make a list of my top 5 iconic cartoon vehicles and before i start one of these shows is based on a live action show but it did get a cartoon counterpart so it counts so let's begin.

5) The General Lee From The Dukes

I admit that my love for this car stems mostly from the live action show The Dukes Of Hazzard but it looks so good in animation form that i just had to include it.

4) The Turtle Van From TMNT 1980's Series

I loved this van growing up and what's not to like about it it has everything a turtle's fan could ever want it has gadgets and it has guns and all the turtle vehicles are somehow always stored in the van.

3) Thunderbird 2 From Thunderbirds

This choice is something that most Americans won't know about but it's some what of a British institution and i loved watching the original Thunderbirds when i was growing up in the 90's and the one vehicle i loved the most was Thunderbird 2 out of all he vehicles they had on that show this is the one that not only looked like it could do anything but could do so with some style.

2) Batmobile From Batman The Animated Series

Just look at this car it's so freaking cool and the fact that the animators went out of there way to make it look like the 1989 Batmobile is really something.

1) The Mystery Machine 

This car might not be the most reliable in fact it spends half of it's time breaking down but with a franchise as iconic as Scooby Doo all you would have to do is show someone just the side of this van and they know what it is instantly and the franchise is till on going it's been viewed by that many people over the years that it's earned it's place in Cartoon Vehicle history.

Wake Up, Girls! Seishun no Kage Review

Hello there anime fans i'm here today with the first true sequel to what i think is now the third best idol anime series ever Wake Up, Girls! Seishun no Kage so here we go.

The plot of this fifty five minuet follow up is that the girls have signed a major record deal in Tokyo and that company chooses to release there song 7 Girls War and that's really it it's a simple story but for this special it really works even if the film has pretty bad pacing.

The voice cast from the tv series all return to voice there characters and all of them do a really solid job with the script that there given but while they do a good job they don't really bring anything new to the characters all of them instead of being three dimensional characters end up just being 2D and i'm not blaming the VA's at all i'm blaming the writer.

The animation in this film / special is pretty good you can tell from the very start that there was a huge bump up in the budget and i'm glad that this franchise is being given a chance because i really want it to succeed. There was a lot of fluid looking animation in the special / film and lots of stunning backgrounds but i couldn't help but notice some lazy animation especially when it comes to the girls mouth movements.

As with any idol anime the most important thing is the music at least it is to me anyways and the three songs that are featured here are pretty good of course we have 7 Girls War but then we have two movie exclusive songs who's names i've forgotten but the last two songs do there job really well but nothing is going to top the awesomeness that is 7 Girls War and nothing ever will.

Ok people i've held this off long enough i have to talk about the freaking terrible ending the film for some reason chooses to end with no resolution which really p****d me off even if this film is just a part 1 you still need somethings to be resolved and something to lead you into part 2 and while we do get that last part we don't get the first part and the film chooses to end on a song. There is a mid-credits scene but really doesn't do anything and could have been the scene before the credits.

Overall guys i'd say that if you were a fan of the Wake Up Girls anime series and the Zoo spin-off then i suggest that you watch this movie because it gets you cought up with the characters that you love but that being said it has terrible pacing and pretty bad editing and you know my thoughts on the freaking ending i give this movie a solid 6.0 out of 10  

Shingeki no Kyojin Movie 2: Jiyuu no Tsubasa AKA Attack On Titan: The Wings Of Freedom Review

Hello anime fans i'm here to get you all ready for season 2 of Attack On Titan and the best way i thought i could do is if i review the second movie called Shingeki no Kyojin Movie 2: Jiyuu no Tsubasa since i've already reviewed the first one  so here we go with the second .

Now here is where i would get into the story of the film but since this film is a recap from the second half of the first season i will just say watch the first season of the show and you'll get the story. I will however say this the film's pacing isn't that good there are scenes that could have served from getting trimmed down a bit.

All the voice actors from the series are all back (duh) and they all do a great job voicing there characters one of the things i liked about not only the first movie but also the few episodes of season one i did watch was the voice acting and how the actors were able to make you believe that this world is real and so are the threats within it.

The animation is freaking brilliant the motions were very fluid and life like but you can tell that this was done on a TV budget this is sadly one of the short comings that all recap movies have especially when it comes to anime recap films it's nothing the film makers can help but since it's in the film i have to point it out.

Since this film is the last entry of Attack On Titan before we go through the long wait for season 2 there is a new ending added on that does lead into the new season i won't spoil it here but if your a die hard fan of the franchise you will like it. The one thing i discovered while watching this film is how brutal the action scenes are you see a lot of blood and they don't even try to hide it either.

Overall if your a fan of the show and you want a quick recap of the first series then i recommend you watch these films however if you have not seen the first series but are interested in seeing what it's all about then i say watch it but there are pacing issues so as a non fan i give this film a 7.5 out of 10
