OK K.O! Let's Be Heroes Review

Well then animation Cartoon network gets a lot of flack for producing bad shows but every once in a while the network brings out something truly worth talking about and well right now that show that's worth talking about is a little show called Ok K.O! Lets Be Heroes.

The basic premise of the series is KO trys to become the world's greatest superhero and the series follows him and his friends as they train to help reach that goal. Now i have to say i'm writing this review after seeing the TKO special so it looks like after that special the series will be adding in another story element which seems interesting.

I have to say that the premise alone made me interested in the show just because  i'd never seen a show where we will be following a group of people training to be heroes and i have to say that after the first six episodes aired i was hooked and now it's a must watch for me.

The series stars both Stephanie Nadolny & Courtenay Taylor as KO , Ashly Burch as Enid , Creator Ian Jones-Quartey as Rad , David Herman as Mr. Gar , Kate Flannery as Carol , Jim Cummings as Lord Boxman and Kari Wahlgren as Shannon. I really like the cast for this show there's a lot of great talent and they all voice more then one character except for JIm so i just chose all the main characters that they play and they play them really well altho i have to admit that i like Courtenay more then i do Stephanie who i thought made KO's voice to raspy for my liking.

Bravo CN because this show has some truly great animation i have no idea where the animation for this series is done but i hope everyone involved gets a good pat on the back because the animation in this show is excellent (who said in Bill & Ted's voice?) everything has nice crisp movements and the shows art style helps make the show very unique.

The show not only includes alot of references to various anime and manga but it also takes alot of visual clues from the anime medium as well you won't spot them if you don't watch anime but if your fan like me you'll see them instantly even the show's intro was animated by Hiroyuki Imaishi who co-founded Studio Trigger.

What i like about this show and what i think sets it apart from other shows in this genre is the fact that the heroes don't always win you see the main characters get beat by there enemy in an episode of the show and even tho this is a superhero show it makes the characters feel more human and that's something that i really like.

While most main heroes in superhero shows are mostly clean cut KO actually isn't like that at all in fact in an episode of the show we see that he fears the darkness that lurks within himself and to me that makes him feel more human and more like a real three dimensional i won't spoil the TKO special in case not alot of people have seen it but let's say something happens to KO.

You may have noticed that i havn't talked about the fight scenes well that's because for this type of show i didn't really feel the need to since there's so much more important stuff going on in the show it self but with that being said the action scenes are really well done.

Overall i highly recommend you go and check out this show right now because trust me it's worth your time and energy for me so far the show is a 9.5 out of 10.

  

  

Victoria "The Green-Eyed Monster" Review

Well then fans of British TV and British people here we are yet again with another review of the hit TV series Victoria this time taking a look at The Green-Eyed Monster.

The basic plot of this is without giving anything away Victoria discovers something that will shock her. that's the only bit of plot i could give since anything else would be considered a spoiler but i will say that the thing that get's discovered will have an effect on the rest of this series.

Now of course we have all the regular cast members in this episode and i have to say that Jenna and Tom do a great job as always in the episode and again Diana Rigg is the true standout performer of the episode everything she says and does is brilliant and the episode also introduces us to Tilly Steele who's playing new maid Cleary and i can't say which other cast member comes back because of spoilers.

This film actually featured a few laugh out loud moments which i honestly wasn't expecting from this series but i'm glad they were included since they provided a nice break from all the dramatic moments i won't spoil what the scenes are but i will say that one of them also forms a running joke through out the episode.

I have to admit it was great to see this show tackle the expectations of women in that era it's something not many drama shows dare to look at but due to the premise of the show it was only a matter of time before it commented on this subject but it was still great to see and i'm glad it was present in this episode.

Overall this was a great episode sorry it's so short but there's not really much i can go into without spoiling the episode for me this episode gets a 7.5 out of 10.

Top 5 Cartoons That I Grew Up With

Animation fans everybody loves a good list especially if it's full of great shows which this one will be and this is my own personal list so here we go with some of the shows that i grew up watching.

5) The Simpsons

This is the longest running animated show in history and i'm proud to say that i was watching the show in it's prime there's nothing more i can say about this show except i was an instant fan from the second i saw it.

4) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1980's)

I have to admit i don't recall watching this on TV that much but i do recall watching it on VHS alot of the time and yes the show was goofy but you know what i loved it and clearly alot of people because alot of things introduced in the cartoon still exist in the TMNT lore to this day.

3) South Park

This show is everything Rick & Morty wishes it could be it's smart , it's funny and it has great social commentary whole Rick & Morty is a great show South Park is better and it's made on a weekly basis that takes guts to do something like that.

2) Animaniacs / Pinky And The Brain / Tiny Toon Adventures

I grouped these three together because there all spin offs and there all awesome altho i didn't watch that much of Pinky And The Brain from what i do recall it was a great show and i love Animaniacs and Tiny Toon Adventures so much i still watch them to this day.

1) Looney Tunes

It was always going to be Looney Tunes they've been entertaining people for generations there characters are now so well placed in popular culture that it's hard to think of a time when we didn't know of Bugs , Daffy or Elmer.

Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works 2010 Film Review

Hello anime fans since i saw the TV version of Unlimited Blade Works i thought i'd check out the movie version just to see what it's about and well here's my review of it.

Now i would very much like to summarize the plot of the movie however the plot of the movie is basically a cut down version of the TV show and since that's what it basically is alot of stuff get's cut out character motivations are gone as are key character development scenes in this case i prefer the TV show to the movie since the story was given time to breathe.

Now i'm reviewing the dubbed version of the movie which stars  Michelle Ruff , Liam O'Brien , Mela Lee , Sam Riegel and Tara Platt. The dub cast are actually pretty good i enjoyed Michelle as Saber i thought she sounded really badass and i liked Liam O'Brien as Archer the only cast member who i thought could have done better was Mela Lee just because in the first scene where we meet Rin she has a British accent for some reason but then she doesn't speak with a British accent again for the rest of the movie.

This was the film to be animated by Studio Deen and i have to say that they did a good job with the animation there's a lot of great fluid movements from all the characters you can tell that they had a big budget and you can tell that there was a lot of attention to detail just in the animation alone.

Another thing that looked really good were the action scenes they were just stunning but i have a feeling that since the studio knew they didn't have a story to work with they put all of there effort into making the action scenes look really great and while they did look stunning they should have put more effort into creating a story.

The score for the film was done by Kenji Kawai who did a little known film called Ghost In The Shell and i have to say that his score for this film was pretty good it's not his best by any means but it worked well for this film.

Overall just stick to the TV series it does a better job of telling the story but it does have good animation and a good dub so for me this movie is a 6 out of 10.

Victoria "A Solider's Daughter" Review

Hello there TV fans / British people / British TV people i thought that since Doctor Who is on break until Christmas that for the next eight weeks i'd review the second series of hit series Victoria since i loved the first series so much i bought the DVD and the book so here we go with series 2 episode 1.

The plot of this episode is that cracks are beginning to show in Victoria and Albert's marriage all the while the British army are heading towards the Khyber Pass. No matter how i summarized this episode i couldn't do it justice because there's so much more going on including all the side characters but i have to say that i love that this show shows the difficult side to being married to a queen the only issue i have with the episode is that the pacing is a tad bit off for my liking.

Returning as Victoria and Albert are the always stunning Jenna Coleman and Tom Hughes there's more returning characters of course but there's so many to name so i thought i'd mention those two in terms of new cast the only note worthy member is Dame Diana Rigg herself who has left the lands of Westeros and has shown up in London in terms of the returning cast i cannot praise them enough both Tom and Jenna are great not only in there roles but also in this series and Diana Rigg is great as always.

This show has always had great looking sets and i have to say that this episode and hopefully this series continues that because all of the sets in this episode looked great the palace looks like a place where a queen would really live and it wouldn't surprise me if the production team got some pictures of how the palace looked in the victorian era.

I have to mention Diana Rigg again because her character The Duchess of Buccleuch was easily the best character in this episode she has a lot of sass to her that actually reminded me alot of her Game Of Thrones character but i hope that they don't meet the same fate.

The last series had used very few CGI scenes and i hope this remains the case because i hate spotting scenes that have CGI when they don;t really need it but based of this episode so far this is the case but then again the CGI in the last episode was very subtle so there's a chance they might have used some CGI and i wouldn't even notice.

Overall this is a great start to the second series and i cannot wait for next weeks episode i give this episode an 8 out of 10.

  

My Idea For A Wacky Races And WWE Movie

Now then animation fans like or not the WWE animated crossovers are indeed a thing and like or not most of them are actually pretty decent and since the company loves bringing back classic Hanna-Barbera properties i thought why not bring back Wacky Races and yes i'm refusing to count that terrible reboot.

Now the WWE already made a movie featuring cars except it was with Scooby-Doo! so my basic idea for the plot would be the same as that one just remove the Scooby gang and the mystery aspect and replace it with Dick and Muttley trying to take over the WWE so the wrestlers have to team up with the Wacky Races gang to stop Dastardly.

Now due to the fast paced nature of the wrestling business i can't say for sure which wrestlers i think should be included but i can say which ones i would like to see in the movie those being AJ Styles, Brock Lesner , Dean Ambrose , Seth Rollins and a few more .

In terms of voice actors i think that Diedrich Bader would make a good Peter Perfect , Kath Soucie has to play Penelope as for who should play Dastardly i'm thinking either Billy West or Tom Kenny with the other one playing Muttley and since the Wacky Races cast is so huge you'd have to include all the characters and the actors playing them could just have some fun with the roles.

Now i will forever and a day say The Jetsons crossover is the best animated out of all the WWE animated films but that being said the second Scooby-Doo movie is the best looking so for this movie it would be better if it had the look of that second Scooby-Doo film but had the animation of The Jetsons crossover.

In terms of who should write the film i would get the pair who wrote The Jetsons crossover because in that film i got a sense that they truly loved the brand and Wacky Races would need that kind of love and attention to detail to help make it work as a movie.

This film i admit is a long shot since WWE Studios right now has no other animated crossovers in the works but it's something that i'd like to see happen in the future.

My Brief Thoughts On Wacky Races 2017

Hello there race fans i'm here to do something i swore to myself i would never ever do and that's judge a show just based of the first episode but as you can see by the name of the show i'm going to be talking about most of you will be thinking the exact same question "They Rebooted Wacky Races?" and now i'm going to tell you my thoughts on it.

Now before i get into the episode proper i have to say that there are only three images from the show on Google and even then two of them are pretty much the exact same image so i've got to use images from the classic show to help sell my point.

Like the original show this new show seems not to have a story which i'm fine with but at least with the show they gave us lots of characters to keep us interested this episode only features a small handful of racers and even tho most of them are classic characters they don't bother to make them interesting.

Now you may have noticed that i mentioned the fact that the cast for this episode is mostly classic characters well that's because they introduce two new characters there's Bella voiced by Tom Kenny and there's a sports announcer who's basically the announcer from the original show only stupid and Bella is ok but to me she seems like a replacement for The Professor and nothing more.

I've mentioned that Spongebob is in the show but there's also Billy West who i think is playing Mutley but i can't tell you who else in this show because there's no cast list to be found anywhere even Wikipedia has the wrong cast list up right now and there's no IMDB page up yet for this show. I do however like the voice of Penny they kept her a southern girl which was good and they toned down her voice which i liked.

Yes ladies and gentlemen your eyes do not deceive you that above image is what Dastardly and Mutley look like in the new show out of all the characters to get a bad redesign why did it have to be those two there two of the most iconic characters from the original show and they look terrible i won't get into the animation but let's just say the animators should be ashamed.

Overall Cartoon Network should let Disney handle Reboots and they should stick to original shows but at least they kept the original theme song and there's no racing at all in this pilot even tho it right there in the name of the show and at least the episode lengths are the same as the race lengths in the original show.
