Littlest Pet Shop: A World of Our Own Review

Hello their cartoon fans this is a series I was thinking of reviewing for the past few weeks and everytime I always had a reason not to do it well now i'm finally sitting down to talk about it so here is my review of Littlest Pet Shop: A World of Our Own.

I wouldn't blame you if you didn't know about this series heck until it started showing up online I had no idea about it I can't find a trailer promoting the show but there is alot of news articles about the show but that's really it but it still doesn't change the fact that this show was poorly advertised.

The premise of the show is once a pet makes their owners truly happy they earn access to a town called Pawtucket and the series mainly follows Roxie, Jade, Trip, Quincy, Edie, and Bev who have adventures around the town. Yeah as you can guess this town is really episodic so you can watch the latest episode and know who everyone is and while the premise does make the series sound interesting the fact is it's really not and the rules of this world make no sense what so ever.

Starring in this series are Diana Kaarina , Ingrid Nilson , Travis Turner ,  Kyle Rideout ,  Lili Beaudoin and Rhona Rees. The actors in this show do the best job they can but they are let down by the scripts there given to perform I feel like if the actors had  better scripts then the performances would have been better.

Like I said the performances in the show aren't that bad indeed for a show aimed at little kids they are passable at best but I also go the feeling that the cast were just doing this show just to get a check and not because they were interested in the brand or the show and oh the show has a cat and dog living together which means I have to use this.

Heck it's funnier then most of the jokes in this show but before I talk about the jokes in this show I have to say that there are so few shows that I will call cartoons for various different reasons but in my eyes this show is a straight cartoon and it's as sickly sweet as you can get you'll have to call your dentist before watching a single episode of this show that's how sweet it is.

This show was animated by Irish studio Boulder Media who will be teaming with Hasbro again on the upcoming Transformers: Cyberverse and i have to say that the animation in this show is way better then it has any right to be when you think of Littlest Pet Shop you don't think of something that has good animation and while the animation in this show isn't good by any stretch of the imagination it's far better then what's seen in other terrible kids shows.

What makes this show stand out in my opinion for the wrong reason is the fact that each episode is only eleven minuets long and here that's a bad thing because it means we get rushed resolutions that come out of nowhere and as much as it pains me to say this because this show is pretty bad it would have been better served if each episode was twenty two minuets long since that way things could flow more naturally.

Like I very briefly mentioned before this show is made by Hasbro which pretty much means the sole purpose of this show is to sell toys and it really does show I could picture the toys that would come from this show just from watching a few episodes i'm not saying it's bad that a show is made to sell toys heck that was the sole purpose of the original Ninja Turtles series but don't be so upfront about it and at least try to be clever.

Unlike My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic which quite quickly found a male fanbase I really can't see guys getting into this show heck all you have to do is look at the above picture and you can tell what type of show this is and who it's main audience is.

I'm not even going to mention the web series called Littlest Pet Shop and Late Night Bev because after sitting through an hour's worth of episodes I have no plan on continuing this trash it is aimed at little kids and there's nothing harmful in the show but I have to be honest and say this show is pure trash if you have little kids or nieces or nephews show them something better then it'll be worth it in the long run.

Overall I don't even think I need to say it because i've already said how bad this show is it does have one or two moments that did get a smile out of me but that's it and you need more then that to make even a passable show this show scores a 2 out of 10 from me.

   

Ballmastrz: 9009 Review

Guys it's finally time five weeks ago I posted my initial thoughts of the series but now Ballmastrz: 9009 has aired it's final two episodes I now present to you my full review of the series so let's get it on.

The plot of the series is washed up player Gaz Digzy is forced to join the lowest ranked team of a sport called "The Game" and if she can get the team to win one game she can join any team she wants. It might not sound like it based of the set up but the series is fairly episodic I say fairly because there are some episodes that drive the story forward but they are few and far between and for me the plot is wonderfully absurd.

Starring in this crazy show is Orange Is the New Black and American Pie star Natasha Lyonne as Gaz Digzy , one of the stars of Adventure Time Jessica DiCicco as both Ace Ambling and the anime inspired Duleena "Dee Dee" Duneeda , Dana Snyder as Baby Ball , Eric Bauza as Flip Champion , Dave Willis as Leto Otel and the shows creator / writer and director Christy Karacas as Crayzar and Aboo Buvu.

The acting in this show is better then what I thought it would be just given the fact that it's an adult comedy from the maker of Superjail but I did enjoy the performances from all of the cast and I had no idea that was Flame Princess playing the young male character Ace she was so believable in that role that I actually thought they had cast a guy in that role.

Handling the animation for the series is Titmouse who animated the opening for Avatar: the Last Airbender and the cancelled Son Of Zorn and I have to say that the animation in this show is fairly decent I say that because there are times where the style the show is going for does become a little distracting.

I have seen other people refer to the show as ugly and I don't think it's ugly looking at all personally I think that's part of the show's visual style but to flip it I can see why they would say it looks ugly it's just in my opinion it's not ugly to look at.

Back when I did my initial thoughts on the series I said that the show looked to be anime inspired and as the show went on I can definitely say that there is alot of anime inspired characters in this show heck one of the teams in this show has characters that are dressed up like Sailor Moon characters and the character of Dee Dee looks like an anime character and that's not to mention all of the anime looking fight scenes which here are when two teams are playing each other in "The Game".

To say this show is crazy would be an understatement half the time I found my self wondering what the heck is going on and the other half enjoying what I was seeing because of how crazy it is and I love the show for being so crazy but at the same time I do wish they would have slowed it down so I could work out what was going on.

For some unknown reason Adult Swim now likes to show two episodes of a show per week and it's something that I don't understand why they do it surely it would be better in the long run to let a show air it's episodes once a week then to air two episodes a week and get the series over and done with as soon as possible and it only seems to be the shows that are fifteen minuets long as well I dare them to do the same thing with something like Rick And Morty and see how well it works out for them then.

Overall this is an entertaining if not flawed show and it's one that I hope does get picked up for a second season and I hope it doesn't take as long as Superjail to make because I want to see more from this world and these characters this show scores a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Final Space Review

Cartoon fans it is finally here after weeks of an amazing series Final Space has released it's season 1 finale and as I promised all those weeks ago here is my review of Final Space.

The plot of this series is Gary and his cute and also deadly but mostly cute sidekick Mooncake embark on an adventure to find out what final space is and along the way they will pick up new friends. It's really hard for me to describe this series because i've only just watched the finale but when I said all those weeks ago that I had a feeling a story was coming together I was freaking right and it really was well told.

Starring in the series is series creator Olan Rogers as Gary , Mooncake and Tribore , Fred Armisen as KVN (pfft KVN) , Spongebob as HUE , Scrooge Mcduck as Lord Commander , Tika Sumpter as Quinn Airgone and Nightfall , Steven Yeun as Little Cato and Coty Galloway as Avocato. Damn the cast for this show do an amazing job I freaking loved every single freaking performance and even tho I knew David Tennant was in the series I was amazed at how well he hid his voice he doesn't use his normal voice at all and it suits the character really well.

I will say that if you have any tears left after watching Infinity War this show has got you covered especially the last episode for a few early episodes you think it's going to be all happy and jolly and then there's a turning point in the series where something happens to one of the main characters and from that point on wards it takes a more serious approach.

The animation was done by Jam Filled Ottawa and ShadowMachine judging by what else Jam Filled have worked on (it's mostly Thomas & Friends) I think they did the CGI opening with Shadowmachine doing the episodes I know alot of people hate the CGI in the opening I think it's not that bad yes it could be better but tho there are shows and movies with worse CGI.

As for the animation in the actual episodes it was freaking fantastic and beautiful to look at you can see alot of detail in almost every scene and later episodes the animation helps sell the emotion of the scene and that's a very freaking rare thing for me to say.

Now what some people might not know is that creator Olan Rogers is actually a Youtuber and Final Space was one of the videos he made for his channel but it was called Gary Speed so this means Final Space is the first actually good TV series made by a Youtuber and it does prove that people who make Youtube videos can indeed make good TV shows.

Everything that happens in the first season comes full circle by the time we get to episode ten and all of those flash forwards that we see at the start of every episode we find out what caused them and I don't know if it will anyone else but it made me feel sad.

Many people have compared the shows humor to that of Futurama I would like to compare it's action to that of Star Wars (original trilogy not the prequels) because damn is the action in this show freaking impressive and instead of the story being stopped just to have an action sequence the action scenes in this show help advance the story and that's not something that you see that often in most shows.

The only thing that's stopping this from being a perfect series for me is how this first season ends which i'm not going to spoil but it's something that I hate in all series finale's and it really is a huge sin if they havn't been picked up for a second season 

Humor wise this show is very freaking funny and for me one of the funniest characters on the show is KVN (pfft KVN) he is so freaking insane and everything he says and does does indeed get a laugh out of me but he's not the only funny character tho at one point or another all of the characters have made me laugh.

Overall this is a freaking fantastic series and if TBS havn't done already then they should pick this up and they would already have a story because Olan Rogers has said that's he's mapped out at least five seasons of the show and so this show gets a 9.5 out of 10 from me.

Lego DC Super Hero Girls: Super-Villain High Review

If your a fan of DC Super Hero Girls then welcome because i've just seen the new movie and boy do I have things to say so here is my review of the new movie called Lego DC Super Hero Girls: Super-Villain High so let's go super heroes in training.

The plot of the movie is Lena Luthor opens up a school and gets her students to steal things and it's up to Wonder Woman , Batgirl , Supergirl and Jessica Cruz to save the day. I have to be honest the plot of this movie was really well told and it was very easy to follow what really got me was how dumb the students who left Superhero High were.

The cast for this film includes Grey Griffin as Wonder Woman , Tara Strong as Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy , Anais Fairweather as Supergirl , Cristina Milizia as Jessica Cruz , Stephanie Sheh as Katana , Ashlyn Selich as Batgirl , Yvette Nicole Brown as Amanda Waller Cheetah is in the movie but since they habit of switching her voice actor out with the films I can't say who's playung her but odds are its Ashley Eckstein and we also have Romi Dames as Lena Luthor.

The voice cast are pretty good in this movie there's nothing I can really say since this is basically a freaking advert for the Lego sets but for a 78 minuet advert the acting is pretty good which is to be expecting considering some of the actors are legends and I really liked Cristina as Jessica.

This is the second Lego film based on the DC Super Hero Girls franchise and the fourth film overall but it won't be the last one because DC Super Hero Girls: Legends of Atlantis is due out sometime this year so I hope you like these films because they are here to freaking stay and if you don't like the franchise then your pretty much screwed.

This film was animated by Warner Bros. Animation and as you can now doubt see was done with help from The Lego Group and I have to say the animation in this film was fairly decent I say that because while the animation for the most part was pretty good their was the odd time where the lips didn't sync up that well.

This movie is seventy eight minuets long and while that is a decent length of time for an animated feature it didn't help the third act where out of know where alot of the plot lines get resolved if this movie was ninety minuets then it wouldn't be as jarring but since it's seventy eight minuets long it had to get rushed.

In my review of the web series I made a comment that some of the students in Super Hero High are villains and weren't acting like the villains they are but that rectified in this movie where the villainess students actually get to act like villains thank the gods because it allows kids to see the true versions of these characters.

Since it's a kids movie however the villainess characters don't act like villains for long and I really wish I could say what turns them "good" again but i;m sure you've already worked out what it is by now so I won't bother but it did bother me for a couple minuets and then I just said screw (less politely) just because I was hoping this film would actually make the villainess characters actual villains.

This is a kids movie and there's nothing really harmful in this movie you can show little kids this movie and they'll like it just fine and it's also based on a franchise that's designed to get girls into comics so you could show it to little girls as well but that also leads me to another issue I had with the movie since the movie was written by a guy alot of the girls mainly talk about how bad their hair looks and if your trying to get girls into comics it would feel like a step back when you then have one of the main characters comment on how bad their hair looks.

As you can work out there is some action in this movie since this is a DC Comics film and I have to say that the action was really well handled you get to see all the heroes with powers use them in battle which does make the scenes look more creative.

Overall if your a fan of this franchise or have little kids then chances are your going to be getting this movie anyway and chances are your going to like it I saw this movie Digitally but you can get the DVD and Blu-Ray on May 15th the movie gets a 5.5 out of 10 from me.

  

  

Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash: The Nightmare Warriors Review

Comic fans crossovers are nothing new they've been happening for years now and so I thought i'd review a crossover series that not that many people know about it's the sequel to the both the film Freddy Vs Jason and the comic book Freddy Vs Jason Vs Ash Freddy Vs Jason Vs Ash: the Nightmare Warriors.

The plot of the book is Freddy who has been trapped inside the necronomicon since the end of the last crossover finds away to get in touch with Jason and together they plan to take over the world. For a horror crossover book this plot is pretty epic like more epic then it has any right to be but the story is well paced with my only issue is it does get a bit dull at times.

Character wise aside from the titular characters of Freddy , Jason and Ash we pretty much have a who's who of side characters from both A Nightmare On Elm Street and Friday The 13th appearing in this book and i'm not going to mention them all because of spoilers but some of them are Maggie Burroughs (Nightmare) , Stephanie Kimble (Friday) , Alice Johnson and Jacob Johnson (Nightmare) and Tina Shepard (Friday).

I'll admit that the twist in this book really doesn't make any kind of sense and if your a fan of A Nightmare On Elm Street you'll hopefully know what the twist is but it really did have me scratching my head and asking why? and i've tried to come up with an answer and I just can't it just doesn't make any kind of sense at all.

The series has artwork by Jason Craig who along with writers Jeff Katz and James Kuhoric returned to work on this sequel and I have to say art wise the series is pretty hit and miss for the most part the artwork does look pretty good but then you'd get an odd drawing of Ash or a weird looking drawing of Freddy.

Writing wise however the series does fair a little better but not much to be honest alot of what's said will sometimes be out of character anyone who's seen a Freddy movie will know that he swears alot but here he doesn't even in situations where he normally would.

I'm glad that they brought back Alice because she was the best part of Elm Street Parts 4 and 5 and damn did they make her look stunning I was really taken aback by how good looking they made her and then I just wanted to see more scenes with her.

I'm so a shamed to admit this but there was a great little nod to a classic horror film all throughout this series and I never noticed it until I was nearly done and when I did I went "Damn why didn't I notice it before" but tho they also mention the town Haddonfield but i'm sure nothing ever happened there nope nothing at all.

Both this series and it's predecessor are six issues long and for me that's just the right amount of issues because anything longer then that and your going to run into trouble when it comes to the story but with six solid issues it means you get through the story at the right pace.

Overall this is a fairly solid series and I do recommend you read it but before you do watch Freddy Vs Jason and read Freddy vs Jason Vs Ash since this series does spoil what happens at the end of that book and incase your wondering the kills are just ok this book gets a 6.5 out of 10 from me and yes it was published by DC but it was under Wildstorm.

Sword Art Online: Alternative Gun Gale Online Anime Review

Sword Art Online fans have had a good few years with not only the movie coming out and being really good but also two different anime series were announced with Sword Art Online: Alicization coming out this fall but that's not the series i'm going to be talking about i'm going to be talking about the spin off series Sword Art Online: Alternative Gun Gale Online.

So then the plot of this series is Karen Kohiruimaki who is around six feet tall plays Gun Gale Online with her avatar being 5 feet tall and she and a partner enter the bullet of bullets tournament. I will admit that the plot of this series is really lacking but this review is being made after the first four episodes so there's a chance it could get better but as of right now it really is paper thin.

Starring as the main characters are Tomori Kusunoki as Karen Kohiruimaki and Llenn (her avatar name) , Kazuyuki Okitsu ( Andre from Prison School) as M and Yōko Hikasa (who can also be heard as Jivunya Lorezzo in Dances With Dragons) as Pitohui.

Honestly the cast do a fairly solid job all of the characters sound really good and their performances really are top notch but if there was one thing i'd criticize the acting for it's the fact that Llenn has the typical small cute girl anime voice and to me it's eye rolling it's not a knock about the series but it's something I wanted to bring up.

Now usually an SAO series will cover two to three arc's per season so to me it's refreshing that this series only going to cover one light novel and not try to fit in as many as they can regardless if it makes sense or not yes i'm looking at you SAO season 1.

Usually SAO is animated by A-1 Pictures but they are bust animating the third season of not only this show but also Fairy Tail and so in steps studio 3hz who have seen mild success with shows like Flip Flappers and Dimension W. 

For me the animation in this series is pretty good SAO will never be known for having outstanding animation but I feel that the animation is probably the best seen in the SAO series i'm not saying it's better then the movie because of the fact the movie would have a bigger budget but for a TV series the animation is really good.

I do like the fact that this series is really taking it's time in building up it's characters but tho the series has around twelve episodes so that could come back to bite them but tho even the main series doesn't take it's time and while that's fine for that show it's nice to see things done at a slower more natural pace.

I think it's safe to say that Llenn is a pure badass and I love the fact that she really doesn't know how much of a badass she can be and she really is a good character and one that I personally can see being better then Kirito and and Asuna in terms of fan popularity.

   

The main series is known for putting it's best animation in it's fight scenes and sadly the animation in the fight scenes isn't that good which is a shame because this series is pretty much built on having good looking action scenes the ones in this series while not being that bad there clearly not the best the series has to offer but tho i'd still take these actions scenes then the whole ALO arc.

What shocked me when watching this series was the fact that the opening song called ryuusei is sung by SAO veteran Eir Aoi and I have to say she can still get me excited and pumped up because that is one hell of a song and it's one of the few anime songs I make sure to never ever skip that's how good it is.

Overall this is a really good series and if your a die hard fan of SAO then i'd say watch it and I would even kinda say the same thing if your not a fan just because it's not the main show and should be treated differently I give this show a solid 7 out of 10. 

Muppet Babies 2018 Review

Hello there Muppet fans for a few years now The Muppets havn't really been in a TV series there was a more adult version of the characters that aired a few years ago but despite me liking the show it was cancelled and now they are back with a new animated show which has the same name of another Muppet show you might have heard of so here is my review of the reboot of Muppet Babies.

The series follows the playroom adventures of Miss Piggy , Animal , Gonzo , Kermit and new character Summer. As you can guess this show is episodic in nature and I think for this show it does work it's a show about the muppets as babies so with that set up you don't really need a story you can just go wild with it.

Now shockingly this series doesn't star current Kermit voice actor Matt Vogel but instead he's voiced by Matt Danner who also serves as the show's supervising director and he's joined by Melanie Harrison as Piggy ,  Dee Bradley Baker as Animal ,  Eric Bauza as Fozzy , Ben Diskin as Gonzo , Jessica DiCicco as Summer and Jenny Slate as Miss Nanny.

Acting wise the cast could use some improvement the cast that you expect to give good performances do deliver but when your playing iconic characters such as Kermit and Miss Piggy then you have to deliver and Matt and Mel just don't and while the voice for Piggy does kinda match the original her voice the voice Kermit isn't even close to how he sounds.

Now despite Disney owning The Muppets they didn't actually do the animation for this show the animation was done by Odd Bot Animation and from what I can gather this is their first time working on a TV series and it shows because the animation in this show is OK at best there are times where the characters hair does look pretty good but then they will cut to Piggy's hair and it just looks plastic as heck.

Unlike other Muppet shows since they were bought by Disney this show airs on Disney Junior and thus made for that target audience and with that in mind I will say that there's nothing harmful init for little kids and they do teach some valuable life lessons but tho you get a sense that it's not the muppets at their best or like they could have tought this lesson in another way.

The episodes do have pretty bad pacing which for me is an issue because each episode is made up of two separate stories but each story seems to drag around the middle part for some reason and I know that they can't really address this issue just yet but if they get a season two then it is something they will have to look into because if i'm feeling bored imagine how the little kids would be feeling at that point.

I couldn't do a review of this show and not mention the new character Summer for me she's a female version of Kermit except she likes art and I say that she's female version of Kermit because all of the personality treats adult Kermit has Summer has but with that said she can be a pretty fun character and I do want to see her feature in movies and other TV shows but in my eyes should be better suited in Sesame Street.

Now this is a muppet show so with that in mind you'd think the show would have tons of laugh out loud moments so it saddens me to say that it doesn't don't get me wrong if a little kid is watching this they'll think it's funny as heck but the jokes just aren't that funny and for some reason in one episode they use a scene from Raiders Of The Lost Ark and I know that because I love the Indiana Jones films.

Now for some unknown reason they chose to make the funniest and most savage muppets Statler and Waldorf completely tame and kid friendly which is so out of character for these two these characters need to savage as heck that's when they out their best and not telling lame jokes to please five year olds they could have been the disgruntled muppet fan base when they heard this show was going to happen but nope oh and you don't want to know what they did to Rizzo.

The show's theme is sung by Renée Elise Goldsberry and since I havn't seen the original Muppet Babies I have no clue if they use the original theme or not but I can tell you that this theme song is pretty good it really does suit the show shockingly well and it has a nice catchy beat to it it's just a shame the songs in the show aren't really that good.

Overall I can see little kids enjoying this show but it's not The Muppets at their best it's close tho but for these guys close isn't good enough I give Muppet Babies 2018 a 5 out of 10.
