Yona Of The Dawn "Princess Yona" AND "Torn Bonds" Review

 


Anime fans I cannot for the absolutely live of me remember the last time that I made an anime post and well I thought that i'd put an end to that right now. By reviewing two episodes of a show that I haven't seen in years this is despite owning the first half of this show on both Blu-ray and DVD and so then join me as I review the episodes that will make you go off falling in love with an evil lord forever with the episodes in question being called simply just "Princess Yona" and "Torn Bonds" and the show itself being called simply just "Yona Of The Dawn" enjoy.

The basic plot of both of these episodes is that Princess Yona is a spoilt princess who after seeing her father die has to whatever it takes to bring his killer to justice no matter what it takes. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these episodes was in all honesty not that bad since these first two episodes do a fairly solid job of setting up the main conflict of the show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in these episodes are co-writer Monica Rial as Yona , Christopher R. Sabat as Son Hak and Micah Solusod as Su-Won. Also starring in these episodes are Sean Hennigan as King Il , Lindsay Seidel as Min-su , John Burgmeier as Keishuk , Clifford Chapin as Yun , Ian Sinclair as Gija , Eric Vale as Sinha , Joel McDonald as Jae-ha , Power Rangers legend Johnny Yong Bosch as Yuhon and Josh Grelle as Jeno.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good. With all of these episodes main cast members turning in some really good performances in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Doing the animation for these episodes are the legends and the greats that are currently over at Studio Pierrot. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good even tho you can quite clearly tell where there  cheaped out on the animation which does harm the over all quality of the animation in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


These episodes do something that alot of media is very afraid to do and that's give us an actually strong female character. Since in these first two episodes we see Yona go from this character who is only interested in falling in love with her childhood best friend to someone who is willing to fight for whatever she believes in and we also get to see how her trusting nature can also be a curse as well as a blessing all of which serve to make her a rather strong female character in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Sadly tho it's not all good since there are some things in these first two episodes that I really didn't like the first of which being the fact that the overall threat of this show doesn't really feel all of that threatening which makes sense for the start of episode but it doesn't make sense for the second half of episode and all of episode two tho. The second thing that I didn't like is the character of Su-Won since he's not really given much of an actual personality and that does make it hard for me to connect with him as a character in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


The first episode does somewhat try to start a romance angle between Yona and Su-Won but as to be expected it doesn't really go anywhere. Which does make me wonder why the makers of this show even included this angle yes it might have been in the Manga but that doesn't mean that it has to make it into the anime adaptation since we all know where it's going to go just from looking at the above picture in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then these episodes have a grand total combined running time of roughly around forty fiver minutes. With each episode being around twenty two minuets each which is the bog standerd running time for any anime episode to last and to this shows credit it does make the most out of that running time I just wish that each episode lasted a little bit longer just so that they could further flesh out the characters and not have them seem freaking one dimensional in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


So now then there is some action in these episodes and that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these episodes and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. However that's also the issue because it wasn't that good either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Overall these first two episodes where a pair of really entertaining episodes and it really does shock me that not alot of anime fans talk about this show all that since from what I remember this show was a very entertaining show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these very episodes in this very review and that means that these very episodes ern a score of a 7 out of 10 for episode one and a 7.5 for episode two with them getting a combined score of a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Akatsuki No Yona and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the actual images that are actually from these actual freaking episodes being Google Images this is simply because Google Images actually has a wide varitity of images from these actual freaking episodes all of which are currently featured / up and on Google Images right now / as we speak and plus all of the images that are currently featured / up and on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in freaking definition.

King Tweety Film Review

 


Looney Tunes fans it's a very rare thing indeed that we get to see a brand new direct to DVD animated Looney Tunes movie. With the last one Looney Tunes: Rabbits Run being released all the way back in 2015 well the Looney Tunes are back in a brand new direct to DVD animated movie and well you all just knew that I had to watch this movie the very first chance that I got and so then join me as I review the movie that puts Tweety in the spotlight with the film in question being called simply just "King Tweety" enjoy.

The plot of this film is after the queen goes missing Tweety finds out that his a member of the royal family and so he then becomes the king of his own island. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty serviceable at best which for this film is good thing indeed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  


Starring in this film is Eric Bauza as Tweety Bird , Sylvester , Larry Bird and Handsome Stewart and Flula Borg as Harold , Thaddeus Fishley Esq. and Enthusiastic Crowdgoer. Also starring in this film is Carlease Burke as Queen Honk and Candice The Crane , Jon Daly as Diego Von Sniffenstein , Regi Davis as Rodrigo The Dog , Charlie "Bird" Parker and Owl , Dana DeLorenzo as Izza , Riki Lindhome as Beep Beep , Candi Milo as Granny , Green Bean and Lady Bird Johnson , Niccole Thurman as Aoogah and Melaney Blank and Mark Whitten as Officer Siedes and John Foray.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. Which really shouldn't be surprised at all since alot of this films cast are really good voice actors and so then of course this films acting is going to be good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Doing the animation for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Snipple Animation. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty OK but for some reason the makers of this film think Tweety has really long arms which just brought the overall quality of the freaking animation down quite alot in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


What I really didn't like about this film is the character designs since for some strange reason the makers of this film chose to give the characters some really small pupils.   Which just looked odd and rather of putting espically since alot of the other designs for these characters all featured them with larger pupils which looked really good plus it really didn't help that these designs remined me of the designs for Jellystone in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Believe it or not but this film is the first film since Tweety's High-Flying Adventure since Tweety was a main character. I really don't why it's taken us a full twenty two years for Tweety to be a main character in a Looney Tunes film since Tweety and Sylvester can be some really good characters when there treated well and while there isn't alot that you can do with these characters you can do enough with these characters to get a few more leading roles with these characters in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 



Without giving anything away there's something in this film that isn't done that well at all which is a shame because these characters did an entire show based around this one thing. Again without giving anything away this one thing should have been done alot better because the entire premise of the film is based upon this one thing and when the film can't do this thing really well or even passable it makes the entire freaking film just fall apart in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty minuets and fifty three seconds. Which was the perfect amount of running time for this film to last and it really did help that this film has some really good pacing which meant that this film really did fly by and heck I really couldn't imagine this film being any longer then what it actually is since this film had the perfect amount of running time in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then this film is a comedy and that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that' actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With this film getting some genuine laughs out of me but for a Looney Tunes film there really wasn't that many funny jokes in this film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Overall as if I really need to say it but I thought that this film was a really bad film that did so much wrong with a good idea and a good premise which is a shame because in the right hands this film could have been something good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 4 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Looney Tunes fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the actual images that are actually from this actual freaking episode being Google Images this is simply because Google Images actually has a wide varitity of images from this actual freaking episode all of which are currently featured / up and on Google Images right now / as we speak and plus all of the images that are currently featured / up and on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in freaking definition.

My SPOILER FILLED First Impressions Of The Ms. Marvel TV Series

 


Marvel fans it seems like Marvel just wants to get the very product out there for us all to watch since Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness is still playing in most cinemas. They really do need to chill out with these releases otherwise they risk giving there fans Marvel fatigue and so then join me as I give you my first impressions of the newest entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the TV show in question being called simply just "Ms. Marvel" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is a little hard to describe not because it's to complicated or hard to follow but because of the fact that outside of one very loose story thread there pretty much isn't a plot to speak of whatsoever. Which for your debuting episode is a huge red flag and even more so when you realise that this show is only going to have six episodes and they don't even start to tell you what the series storyline even is either which again is a huge red flag for me personally in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this episode is Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan , Matt Lintz as Bruno Carrelli and Yasmeen Fletcher as Nakia Bahadir. Also starring in this episode is Zenobia Shroff as Muneeba Khan , Mohan Kapoor as Yusuf Khan , Saagar Shaikh as Aamir Khan , Laurel Marsden as Zoe Zimmer , Azhar Usman as Najaf , Jordan Firstman as Gabe Wilson Jr. , Anjali Bhimani as Auntie Ruby and Sophia Mahmud as Auntie Zara.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With star Iman Vellani turning in a really good performance as Kamala Khan and the same thing can also be said for Matt Lintz as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Doing the CGI for not only this episode but i'm also guessing the rest of this show is Base FX , Digital Domain , Framestore , Method Studios , SSVFX , The Mill and Trixter. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad which for a TV show isn't a bad thing at all but it is a bad thing for a Marvel Cinematic Universe product and it's something that is very sadly becoming alot more common place in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!




This episode does indeed confirm that this show does indeed take place after the events of Avenger: Endgame. Which for me just seems like a wasted opportunity since we don't really get to see how people from other cultures were effected by all of their loved ones not only disappearing but also coming back which is a shame because there is quite alot there that you could do story wise just from that one freaking idea alone in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Not really helping this show or even this episode for that matter id the fact that Kamala Khan herself comes across as being rather unlikable. Since her mother allows her to go to this Avengerscon with the one major rule being she has to dress up as The Hulk but because she's not allowed to dress up as Captain Marvel she throws a fissy fit and this makes her come across as being a rather unlikable person in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Another thing that I really didn't like about this episode is the fact that it spends a long time just setting up Kamala Khan. Which means that no time is spent on setting up the actual storyline for the show itself which is something that all first episodes should strive to do as it then gives your audience a reason to check out episode but as it is I now have no reason whatsoever to checkout the second episode of this show and that is a very bad thing indeed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty six minuets and fifty eights seconds and so then lets round that up to forty seven minuets then shall we.  Which in all honesty is such a short running time for this episode to last since it has so much to set up an still tell a good or even decent story and this episode just can't do that because it's more focused on telling us every single aspect of Kamala Khans life and as such this episode should have been at the very least one hour long in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


So now then there is some action in this episode and that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured /presented to us in this very episode and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty OK at best. Which given that this episode only has one real action scene is not a good thing at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!  


Overall this was a fairly average episode of this show and that is me being very kind because there are alot better first episodes of any TV show but here's hoping that this show gets better because so far Phase Four hasn't been that good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then since i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this post in this very episode now then even tho I will not be giving this episode a rating simply because this is only the shows first ever episode and this isn't a review this is just my first impressions of the show and not an actual review of the freaking show in question.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the actual images that are actually from this actual freaking episode being the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page this is simply because the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page actually has a wide varitity of images from this actual freaking episode all of which are currently featured / up and on the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page right now / as we speak and plus all of the images that are currently featured / up and on the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in freaking definition.

My Little Pony: Make Your Mark TV Special Review

 


My Little Pony fans to say that the franchise is back in a big way would be an understatement since just last year we got a brand new animated movie and in just a few months we're getting a brand new animated TV series airing exclusively on Netflix. However to help to tide us over Netflix have released a brand new special and so then join me as I review the special that for some strange bears the exact same name as the new TV series with the special in question being called simply just "My Little Pony: Make Your Mark" enjoy.

The plot of this special is Zip discovers that there's something wrong with the newly returned magic and has to do everything within her power to fix this issue before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty OK in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this special is Jenna Warren as Sunny Starscout , Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as Zipp Storm and JJ Gerber as Hitch Trailblazer. Also starring in this special is Ana Sani as Izzy Moonbow , AJ Bridel as Pipp Petals , Rob Tinkler as Sparky Sparkeroni , Amanda Martinez as Queen Haven , Kimberly-Ann Truong as Posey Bloom , Sara Garcia as Dahlia , Samantha Bielanski as Jazz Hooves and Jonathan Tan as Rocky.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad. Which is very sadly becoming par the course for this next generation of My Little Pony in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  



I assume that doing the animation for this special is Atomic Cartoons since there's no animation company listed on this specials official IMDB page. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / prese ted to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty a huge step down interms of quality from the freaking animation that we freaking got in A New Generation in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


I really did expect them to replace the entire cast from the movie for this show and this special simply because of the fact that alot of the actors in the movie are fairly big named actors and as such it would have been super expensive to get them all to reprise their roles for this special and for this series. However that doesn't mean that they had to cheap out on both the animation and the writing both of which feel like a huge stepdown from the movie in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

To me this special feels alot more like a second pilot episode since alot of this special is spent with setting up things that we hopefully might see in the series. Which is a red flag for me personally since it got in the way of them telling a story which should have been the main focus of this special and not setting up things that we aren't going to see play out for a couple of more months in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


When it came to the movie Izzy was the best character for me personally and so then it's a shame to see that they give this wonderfully funny character little to nothing to do in this special. Which does make sense since it's Zip that's this specials main character but the thing is this special does nothing to make Zip an interesting character which only serves to make you miss Izzy alot more in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this special has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty five minuets and eleven seconds. Which is tad bit a short running time for this special since you very easily could have gotten a whole series with of air time just out of this one story alone and so the very fact that the makers of this special chose instead to cram this storyline into one forty five minuet special means that plot points feel alot more rushed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since this special is a comedy special that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty really bad. With pretty much all of this specials jokes not really landing and not even getting so much as a chuckle out of me which is always a red flag indeed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 



Overall this special really is a huge step down from the movie in every aspect which is a shame because the movie did leave us with some potential for future propjets to be good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very special in this very review and as such that means that this very special erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official My Little Pony Generation 5 fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the actual images that are actually from this actual freaking episode being Google Images this is simply because Google Images actually has a wide varitity of images from this actual freaking episode all of which are currently featured / up and on the official Star Wars fandom wiki page right now / as we speak and plus all of the images that are currently featured / up and on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in freaking definition.
