Dragon Ball Super Episode 1 Dub First Impressions


Hey there Dragon Ball fans i'm going to be doing something i havn't actually done before i'm going to be giving you my thoughts on the first dubbed episode of Dragon Ball Super so here we go.


Now before i start it proper i have to say that i did see some of the subbed episodes when the show first premiered but i stopped because those weren't the voices i was used to hearing but now i'm back watching it and i have to say it feels so good to hear those voices once again it was like music to the ears hearing Seam Schemmel as Goku.

Speaking of the voice cast i really liked hearing them as those characters once again every actor just knocked it right out of the park for me the only down side is the actual plot of this arc doesn't get really going until around episode 3 or 4 and this episodes feels like a catch up episode which was fun.


Now i'm going to try and not give away any spoilers in case you missed the subbed version because you were waiting for the dub but this episode apart from basically being a catch up episode served to set up the new status quo which i think it did a good job of doing.


Also without giving anything away when you get further into this arc you'll see why i put this picture here that's all i'm saying. It's good to have this show and it's good to hear those actors again i won't rank the episode but i will say if your a fan of DBZ then i recommend you watch this show.

Three Reasons Why Adventure Time Ending Is A Good Thing


Hello animation fans in 2018 Cartoon Networks highest rated show Adventure Time is coming to an end after 9 solid seasons of fun and laughter and i know alot of the Adventure Time fans are upset but i'm hear to list you three reasons why ending the show is actually a good thing.


3) The series won't have a chance to go stale

what does Spongebob and Fairly Odd Parents have in common they have both gone stale so with Adventure Time ending now it means that the creators won't run out of stories to tell nor will they have a chance to repeat the same stories and thus the show will never go stale.


2) The Creators Don't Get Bored With The Show.

this can be a huge problem with animated shows since they take so long to produce a single episode but with the show ending after series 9 it means that those involved will not have a chance to hate the show that they worked on for so long.


1) More New Shows Get A Chance To Shine

this is perhaps the most important reason of them all like i said before Adventure Time is Cartoon Networks highest rated show and because of that the network puts it a lot but when the show ends that little block will now either go away or will be given to a different show either way it means that a new show get's a chance to shine and in the end that can only be a good thing.




Three Ways To Make A Good James Bond Cartoon


Hello there animation people incase i havn't mentioned it yet i'm a bit of a James Bond fan i go to see all the films when they first come out and i have them all on DVD and i've even seen a few episodes of the cartoon series but now i'm going to tell you 3 simple ways in which you can make a good James Bond cartoon.


3) Stick Close To The Tone Set In Either The Books Or The Movies


this one really does depend on who your target audience for the show is if your aiming it more towards adults then i say stick to the tone of the books but if it's more for little kids and teenagers then i would stick to the tone of the movies since those are more kid friendly either one works best.

2) Tell Great Stories


the one thing that the films , the books and even some episodes of the cartoon had in common was they told great stories and this is one thing that every Bond story should be great and the only way you can do that is if you have great writers who understand the world of James Bond.

1) Get The Actor Who Plays Bond In The Movies To Voice Him In The Show.


Picture this your watching episode of the newest James Bond cartoon and you hear Daniel Craig's voice come out of Bond's mouth that's epic this should be and it would be a perfect way to bring back Bond's of the past.

Top 5 Adult Cartoons


Hello there animation as well as there being great animated shows for kids out there their is also a few great shows aimed at adults as well and in this list i will tell you what my top 5 shows and before i forget i will not be including Beavis And Butt-Head because i havn't seen that many episodes of it and the same goes for Drawn Together because that would be lower down.


5) Spicy City

This show earns it's spot here just due to how strange it is this show was made for HBO and my god is this show adult i won't name some of the things seen in the series but let's just say there's a reason why the only picture i can use is a piece of fan art i found of google.


4) Aeon Flux

Again this show was and still is really odd for the first two seasons the main character never speaks and there is very little to no dialog within those episodes and each of the first episodes within the first two seasons are around 5 minuets in length and yes the main character dies at the end of every episode.


3) Family Guy

It wouldn't be a list of the best adult cartoons if Family Guy wasn't on here and i know the recent seasons havn't been as good but for the first few years this show was rude , crude and laugh out loud funny.


2) Robot Chicken 

There's not really much i can say about this show that hasn't already been said where as Family Guy uses shock humor to claim it's an adult cartoon this one does it in the jokes that it tells and very rarely goes for shock humor.


1) South Park

Of course South Park was going to be number 1 this show causes more controversy then any show on this list they even had an episode where i certain f word was said 399 times and for those that don't know the maximum amount you can say that word on TV is 400 the makers of this show have been getting angry letters from people since day 1 and there now on season 20.

5 Cartoon Network Shows / Pilots That Could Easily Replace Adventure Time


Hello there cartoon lovers i've been thinking that with Adventure Time due to finish in 2018 what show could possibly replace it as one of Cartoon network's highest rated shows and i believe i've come up with 5 shows that all have that possibility please note that of the time of this writing all shows have not been cancelled and some have already been picked up for future seasons.


5) Mighty Magiswords

I believe this show has the potential because of how great and witty the writing and the characters are and for me that's a rare thing to say about modern day cartoons.


4) We Bare Bears

This show has great writing and characters that you fall in love with just Ice Bear alone has a ton of fans and i can't blame them because Ice Bear is awesome and it actually makes you care about the characters.


3) Justice League Action

I put this on here because of how different it is to the current line up of shows and by that i mean it's not a comedy it's an action show and it looks different to the rest of the shows as well and i believe if Cartoon Network push this show right then we will have a winner on our hands.


2) Steven Universe

This one is perhaps the most logical of choices but given that it's not been confirmed beyond season 5 as of yet i couldn't put it at number 1 but the show has what all of the others have but on top of that it has great animation and catchy songs.


1) Infinity Train

While this show has not been picked up for a full series i strongly believe that Cartoon network will listen to the fans and pick this up and they should it has an interesting premise, writing that doesn't talk down to kids , a different style of animation and is not a comedy this show is a sci-fi show and Cartoon Network doesn't do those kinds of shows so if anything this is the one that could easily replace Adventure Time and as an added bonus it already has a fanbase

Zutto Mae Kara Suki Deshita: Kokuhaku Jikkō Iinkai Review


Hello there anime fans and i'm here today to give you a review of a movie that you might not have heard of and trust me it's for good reason and that movie is called Zutto Mae Kara Suki Deshita: Kokuhaku Jikkō Iinkai so let's begin.


The story is your typical romance story a girl and a boy like each other but don't have the courage to tell the other the end. That one line right here might make the movie sound more interesting then it actually is but the fact is it isn't interesting at all the plot is so predictable you know what's going to happen when the opening credits stop and the pacing is so bad that i actually started looking up all the things i would need for this review and i started messing with my phone.


Now usually i would say who is in the movie but for this film i will make an exception just because i couldn't find one single stand out performer in the whole piece and that's not there fault that's the fault of the script writer and the director for not giving them anything to work with but i did find a few characters that i liked tho and those were Natsuki Enomoto who is our main female character and Akari Hayasaka who is her best friend those were the only two characters that didn't make me want to pull my hair out. The rest of characters are either dull as hell , dumb as hell or just annoying as hell like for example there's this one girl who is walking down a street on the road and she doesn't even notice the freaking bus coming towards her that's how freaking dumb she is.

The animation in this film was done by Qualia Animation and from what i can gather this is there first piece if animation for both film and TV and i have to say for there first time out they did a decent job i'm not going to lie it could have been better but for a first time studio it was decent the motions looked good the characters looked like real people and the art work was great the only problem i have with the animation is there are a few times in the film where there is just a black screen for a few seconds which they could have filled in very easily.


Another thing that i didn't really like in this movie is the fact that the film feels like it should have been a TV series in fact you can even tell where the opening for each episode would have been because they play song over that scene but i'll get into the music soon. The reason why i feel this would have been better as a series rather then a movie is because it would have given the creators more time to develop the characters and more time to tell the story better and i think that this would have helped with alot of people's enjoyment.

The music for the film was done by CHiCo ( don't ask me who that is i don't know) and i thought it was pretty good the songs used worked well for me altho there is alot of songs in this movie and all of them are done by Honeyworks (again i have no clue who that is) and they sound really good for me personally the standout song is the opening called Koiro ni Sake which is worth listening to.


Guys can i recommend this to anyone maybe if you love romance anime then you might get something out of it but even the romance part falls flat because you don't care about the characters if you like slice of life anime then you guys might also like it but for me who likes slice of life this show is a 5 out of 10 and it's getting a sequel called Suki ni Naru Sono Shunkan wo.: Kokuhaku Jikkou Iinkai

Top 5 Strange Cartoons Based Of Movies


Hello there animation lovers when a movie becomes a hit there's one thing that studios want and that's to make a sequel but in the late eighties and early two thousands if your film was a hit then chances are it would get a cartoon series and here are my top 5 strange cartoons that are based of movies and when i say strange i mean why was this a cartoon.


5) Dumb And Dumber: The Animated Series

I put this show on here because of the fact that the original movie is like a cartoon so in a way it makes sense to turn into a cartoon but throw in the fact that this show has no plot and the fact that the show makers chose to add in an animal side kick you can quickly see why this show is odd as hell.


4) The Mask

Now on paper this should have been one of the greatest shows ever made and i can see why people would like the show but here's what this show and Dumb And Dumber and Ace Ventura have in common they all tried to replace Jim Carrey which you cannot do he made those films. Then when you add in the fact that the show ignores the first Mask film completely you can hopefully now see why i call this show strange.


3) RoboCop: The Animated Series

I don't know why this needed an animated series but apparently some hollywood producer thought that this would make a great kids cartoon so out went all the political commentary and the violence and in came lasers and bad story telling.


2) James Bond Jr.

Now if this film was set in the continuity of the movies this show wouldn't be on this list but the fact that one of the bond film producers chose to make a cartoon about James Bond and not have it feature James Bond and then have it go against everything that was all ready established is just baffling to me and this was going to be my number 1 choice but when i thought of what was number 1 this got bumped down to number 2.


1) Rambo: The Force Of Freedom

The very idea of turning an R rated movie into a TV show for kids to me is stupid but if you have a great set of writers and a great crew it can work but when it doesn't you get this show Rambo as we all know has PTSD due to the fact that has a prisoner of war during the Vietnam war that doesn't even get a mention in this show here he leads a team called The Force Of Freedom and takes on the apparently evil forces of S.A.V.A.G.E and just like with Robocop they took out everything that people loved about the movies and the character to make it more kid friendly.
