WWE / WWF Wrestlemania 23 Review

 

Wrestling fans it's been about three months since we last spoke and well since i'm writing this review on the day of Wrestlemania 37 Night One it only makes sense that I review a Wrestlemania PPV event. However with there being so so so so so so so so so so many Wrestlemanias to choose from which one do i go with well since I only own of them on DVD (which yes I will be talking about later on in this review) it makes sense that I review that particular Wrestlemania and so join me boys and girls as I review the 2007 WWE / WWF PPV event that is called simply "Wrestlemania 23" enjoy.

Now unlike the other classic WWE / WWF PPV's that i've reviewed I really do feel that you need to watch the Raws , Smackdowns and the case of Wrestlemania 23 the ECWs and PPVs leading up to this show. Simply because there aren't that many video packages in this particular event and so there's no way that you can catch up with all of the then current storylines leading up to and as well going beyond this show without spending literally dozens of hours watching WWE / WWF and ECW from the year 2007. Which is both a good and a bad thing it's a good thing because it means that you get to watch some now classic wrestling but it's bad thing because if your like me then you don't have access to all of those episodes but I get why they didn't have alot of if any video packages during Wrestlemania 23 since Wrestlemania is seen is usually seen as the big finale for all of the current storylines but at the same time I would have loved to see video packages just because it makes following the then current storylines alot easier in my opinion but that's just what I think and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

I have to say that I really didn't like the set to Wrestlemania 23 since to me at least the set looked to busy and complicated. Which for me at least takes away from the entire PPV since for me personally / at least part of the fun of Wrestlemania is seeing how grand the set is for that particular Wrestlemania and so to see a Wrestlemania set that looks really busy and complicated is bad thing since a Wrestlemania set should be grand yet simple and that's not the feeling that I personally got from this set but that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion.

Looking back on it now there's not one single thing that I liked about this Wrestlemania set which is a shame because I can usually find at least one thing that I liked about most Wrestlemania sets but I can't honestly think of a single thing that I personally liked / really liked about this particular Wrestlemania set. Each Wrestlemania set is meant to invoke something from the particular town that that years Wrestlemania is taking place in and yet I can't think of anything in the set for Wrestlemania 23 that invokes the town Wrestlemania 23 is taking place in but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

Now then boys and girls this particular Wrestlemania also features someone who is now extremely / very controversial and since I want this review to be focused strictly on the actual PPV event in question and not what I this person has done very recently I will not referring to this person by name nor will I be using any images of this person outside of the main poster for this particular Wrestlemania. I will say that the match that this person is involved in is a decent match but at the same time the ending of this match is so convoluted and the actual haircutting segment goes on for far two long in my opinion which is a shame apart from the ending the match itself is honestly pretty and as well the match in question is also very entertaining but there's so many run ins that it just takes you out of the match and brings the overall match quality down in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

Out of all the matches that are on this card perhaps the worst for me at least is Kane vs The Great Khali. Simply because this match features two very big men one of whom can barely wrestle (The Great Khali) and the other one can't move as much as he used to (Kane) as such I have to wonder who in the hell thought that it was a good idea to book these two guys in a wrestling because even on paper this is bad match and it's exactly as bad as you think that it's going to be and then some but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my personal and very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

Not only is this Wrestlemania now official for having a rather controversial person involved but it's also known for having a now known murderer on it's it's card and I don't think that I need to say this person's name since his case is very well known in the wrestling world and I will say that even tho what this person did outside of the ring is terrible and unforgivable. How they wrestled not only in this match but in alot of to possibly even all of there matches was really good and heck i'd even say that this match is one of the better matches on this card even if there are not only a few lines of commentary which are now really uncomfortable (JBL says that the murderer in question is definitely going into the WWE Hall Of Fame) but there is also a move which with the benefit of hindsight is a rather uncomfortable move to watch this person performing in the ring and in not only this match but in any match in which they bust out this move but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

Now this is something that I noticed when I was watching this particular Wrestlemania for this very review but near the end of the opening match which is the eight man Money In The Bank Ladder Match for those that don't know but quite a few of the superstars that are taking part in that match just straight up disappear from the match. Granted they do give an in match explanation for wrestlers like Edge and Jeff Hardy but everyone else that disappears from this match gets no explanation whatsoever which in my opinion at least is just bad booking since you have a bunch of guys all of whom can wrestle and you get rid of them all with explanation given and that brings down the quality of the match but the match itself is honestly pretty decent with lots of cool moments but the disappearing superstars really does let this match down in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

Now i'm sure that the women's championship Lumberjill Match had a botched finished just because none of the wrestlers seemed prepared for that bridging pinfall to be the finish. Plus even for a divas era match this match was super short with the late Ashley Massaro getting in next to no offensive in on Malina at all which leads me to believe that this match was meant to go on for a little bit more / a little bit longer but I could be wrong tho but for the only women's match on the card for this particular Wrestlemania to be three minuets and thirteens seconds including entrances is a damn shame because we know that Malina can wrestle and form what I can remember Ashley Massaro could wrestle so why these two women won't given more time for their match I do not but the short time for this match really did hurt the match in my opinion but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

Now boys and girls this particular Wrestlemania had a very short running time with the total running time for this particular Wrestlemania being three hours and fort one minuets and eleven seconds. Which for a Wrestlemania is super freaking short and even tho i was forced to watch this particular Wrestlemania on my mobile phone because the DVD I have of this particular Wrestlemania wasn't working when I put it in both my Xbox One and in an ordinary DVD player the time for this PPV event still flew by and it made me wish that alot of the more recent Wrestlemania alot shorter since this particular Wrestlemania didn't try to fit every single WWE superstar and every single female WWE superstar on the card instead this particular Wrestlemania just stuck the matches that were announced for the show and that had some storyline behind them and that works on this particular Wrestlemania favour in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

For me one of the if not the best match on the card for this particular Wrestlemania is Batista vs The Undertaker with Shawn Michaels vs John Cena coming in at a very close second. For me personally what makes the Batista vs The Undertaker match stand out is the fact that both Batista and The Undertaker really sell any injuries that they sustain during this match and as well as the fact that the Batista vs The Undertaker is just super exciting with lots of really cool moments which help make the Batista vs The Undertaker match as a good as it is but that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

Overall this particular Wrestlemania is a particularly good Wrestlemania but I would fully understand it if this particular Wrestlemania had it's fans tho. I've talked about both of the good and both of the bad things that are to be found in this particular Wrestlemania in this very review as such Wrestlemania 23 gets a 7 out of 10 from me , as for where I got the images that I used in this review well i got all of the images that I used in this very review from the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page and nowhere else and since I only went to the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page for the images that I did actually end up using in this very review I have no choice but to recommend that you guys the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page if you want to use images from any pro wrestling event or if you want to use any image of any particular pro wrestler and it helps that all of the images that are featured /used on the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page are fairly high quality and as well as being fairly high definition but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

X-Men: The Animated Series "Enter Magneto" AND "Deadly Reunions" Review

Marvel fans it's been about three months since i've last spoken about anything to do with the X-Men characters and it's been about ten months since i've last spoken about anything to do with the pure greatness that is the X-Men: The Animated Series. As such I thought that i'd rectify this by taking a look at a couple of episodes from the show and so join me as I review two episodes from the X-Men: The Animated Series with the episodes in question being called simply "Enter Magneto" and "Deadly Reunions" respectively and so enjoy the review everyone.

The plot of these two episodes is Magneto is getting ready to wage a war against the humans and it's up to members of the X-Men to stop him before he starts a full scale with the entire human race. In terms of what I thought the plot of these two episodes in all honesty the plot to these two episodes was rather weak which is a shame because the X-Men: The Animated Series is known for having strong episodes with strong plotlines and as such it's kind of disheartening to see a pair of episodes have a fairly weak plot but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my honest opinion anyways.

Starring in these two episodes are Cedric Smith as Professor Charles Xavier / Professor X and Norm Spencer as Scott Summers / Cyclops. Also starring in these two episodes are Cal Dodd as Logan / Wolverine , Iona Morris as Ororo Munroe / Storm , George Buza as Hank McCoy / Beast , Alyson Court as Jubilation Lee / Jubilee , Don Francks as Graydon Creed, Sr. / Sabretooth , David Hemblin as Eric Magnus / Magneto , Stephen Ouimette as Hodge , Len Carlson as Robert Kelly and Lenore Zann as Rogue.

In terms of what I thought about the acting that's featured / presented to us in these two episodes in all honesty the acting that's featured / presented to us in these two episodes is in my opinion really good and I say that the acting that's featured / presented to us in these two episodes is in my opinion really good simply due to the fact that's it's something that I strongly believe to be the case. Simply because the acting in this show is for the most part at least very good and the same is true for these two episodes and what helps the acting in my opinion is the fact that the scripts for these two episodes are so freaking good that all the actors would have to do when  recording for these two episodes is just say the lines as they're written and boom a good performance would come out alot naturally in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

Doing the animation for not only these two episodes but for this entire show as a whole is Akom Production Company and in terms of what I thought about the animation that's featured / presented to us in these two episodes. In all honesty I thought that the animation that's featured / presented to us in these two episodes wasn't that bad since there are a few shots in these two episodes that even by today's standards with the technology today would still be hard to pull as such you can only imagine how hard those shots would have been hard to pull of back in the very early nineties and yet the animation in those shots in the episode as a whole really does stand out due to how good the animation in those shots are and the animation in these two episodes as whole holds up really does hold up really freaking well but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very humble opinion anyways.

Now then boys and girls these two episodes are the first set of episodes to feature the X-Mens arch nemesis Magneto who here has the human name of Eric Magnus. I honestly had no idea that these two episodes was were the X-Men: The Animated Series chose to introduce Magneto just simply because he's always been the big bad for the X-Men and as such i've always assumed that he appeared in either episodes one that he appeared in episode two of this show and i will admit that I really did like how they used the character in these two episodes since they show him thinking about his next step and very carefully choosing where to attack next which makes the character seem like someone who is a strategist but that's just in my humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

I will admit that I don't really like the idea that they changed Magneto's real name to Eric Magnus since it really does hit the magnet theme really on the nose. If anything the makers of this show should have kept his name to simply Max Eisenhardt or even Erik Lehnsherr just simply because those two names sound alot better and those two names aren't as on the nose as Eric Magnus well and truly is but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my honest opinion anyways.

Now this is something that I honestly didn't know about the X-Men: The Animated Series version of Ororo Munroe / Storm and that's the fact that this version of Ororo Munroe / Storm is infact claustrophobic. Just this one little change makes this version of the character seem a lot more interesting because it means that you can now possibly beat her which means that every time that she goes into battle there's a very good chance that she might not walk out of that battle alive but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

Now then boys and girls these two episodes have a total combined running time of forty two minuets and twenty five seconds and if i'm being these episodes didn't need to be a two part episode. Since you very well could have told this story in one episode and you could have had the whole plot line with Sabretooth and Wolverine last this entire first season of the show which of then have made the fact that Sabretooth is actually working for Magneto have alot more impact but I will admit that these two episodes do have some really good pacing in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinions anyways.

Now then boys and girls this is an action show after all and there is some to possibly even alot of action in these two episodes. Which means that I have to talk about the action that's featured / presented to us in these two episodes and if i'm being honest the action that's presented to us in these two episodes is really cool and I say that the action that's presented to us in these two episodes is really cool since you get to see alot of the X-Men not only use there gifts but you also get to see them struggle against an enemy who could beat all of the X-Men without even lifting a finger and that makes the action sequences in these two episodes alot more thrilling and as well as alot more dramatic since the X-Men could very well loose against Magneto but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my honest opinions anyways.

Overall these two episodes were honestly really good but at the same time I don't think that these two episodes are amongst this shows / series best episodes in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways. Now then boys and girls i've talked about both of the good things in this episodes and well as both of the bad things that are in this particular episode in this very review and as such these two episodes get a combined score of a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

As for where I got all of the images that I used in this review well I got all of the images that I used in this very review from the official Marvel Animated Universe fandom wiki page. Since I only went to the official Marvel Animated Universe fandom wiki page and nowhere else for the images that I used in this very review I have no choice but to recommend that you guys use the official Marvel Animated Universe fandom wiki page just due to not only how many images there are of both of these episodes but also due to hw quality and how high definition the images that are on / featured on the official Marvel Animated Universe fandom wiki page but thats just what I think and that's just in my humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

 

Spider-Man: The Animated Series "The Spider Slayer" AND "Return Of The Spider Slayers" Review

 

Marvel fans it's been at least five or possibly even six months since I last spoke about an episode from any of the classic nineties Marvel animated TV shows and well I thought that i'd that right now by possibly spending the next few days talking about episodes from some of the classic nineties Marvel animated TV shows. and well better show to start if with the Spider-Man: The Animated Series. I will fully admit that I wasn't expecting either of the episodes that i'm basing this review on to be any good and yet I was honestly pleasantly surprised by how good these episodes truly where and so join me as I review episodes from the nineties Marvel animated series with the TV series itself being called either "Spider-Man" or is called just simply "Spider-Man: The Animated Series and the episodes in question are simply called "The Spider Slayer" and "Return Of The Spider Slayers" and so enjoy the review everyone.

The plot of these episodes is father and son duo Spencer and Alistair Smythe scheme to take down Spider-Man once and for all and it's up to Spider-man to stop them both before he ends up as a squished bug. In terms of what I thought about the plot of these episodes in all honesty the plot of these two episodes wasn't bad but at the same time this really didn't need to be a two part episode since you could have told the story of these two episodes in one episode but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

Starring in both of these two episodes are Christopher Daniel Barnes as Peter Parker / Spider-Man and Edward Asner as J. Jonah Jameson. Also starring in these two episodes are Linda Gary as Aunt May Parker , Rodney Saulsberry as Joseph Robertson and as Soldier number 4 , Jennifer Hale as Felicia Hardy , Hank Azaria as Eddie Brock and as Soldier number 5 , Patrick Labyorteaux as Flash Thompson , Gary Imhoff as Harry Osborn and as Soldier number 2 , Edward Mulhare as Spencer Smythe , Maxwell Caulfield as Alistair Smythe and as Soldier number 1 , Neil Ross as Norman Osborn and as Soldier number 3 , Sara Ballantine as Mary Jane Watson and finally we have Roscoe Lee Brown as Wilson Fisk / Kingpin.

In terms of what I thought about the acting that's featured in these two episodes in all honesty the acting that's featured in these two episodes is in all honesty really good and in very humble and as well as in my very honest opinion anyway and I say that the acting that's featured in these two episodes is in all honesty really good simply because I feel that's true. Since all of the actors that are starring in these two episodes do a really good job with their respective characters and in the cases of actors like Hank Azaria , Jennifer Hale and Linda Gary who are all voice acting legends and as such it makes sense that those three actors would turn in great performances in these two episodes but that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

Doing the animation for these episodes and as well as the whole series is TMS Entertainment , Seoul Movie , Anima Sam Won and Koko Enterprises Company. Now I have no idea which one of these studios did the animation for these particular episodes but I do know that they did the animation for this show as a whole. In terms of what I thought about the animation that's featured / presented to us in these two episodes in all honesty the animation that's featured in these two episodes is alot better then what thought it was going to because nineties TV animation doesn't always hold up that well at least in my experience but no the animation that's featured / presented to us in these two episodes holds up really well with there being alot of really fluid movements for alot of the characters and the backgrounds (for the time that this episode was made and broadcast) look really good but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.  

For those that don't know these are the two episodes that introduce both Wilson Fisk / Kingpin and Mary Jane Watson into the Spider-Man: The Animated Series canon / world. However what I found to be interesting is that this show seemed to be possibly teeing up a relationship between Peter Parker and Felicia Hardy which is honestly a coupling / couple that I would have loved to have seen in this show simply because we've seen Peter and Mary Jane Watson be a couple for countless Spider-Man adaptations and as such it would have been nice if this version of Spider-Man didn't date Mary Jane Watson but instead chose to go out with Felicia Hardy but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

I will admit that I never noticed that this version of Spider-Man maintained Spider-Man's sense of humour and this is something that I personally have very mixed feeling about. Since on the one hand having Spider-Man make jokes in certain situations oddly makes alot of sense and is something that that character has done in the past but at the same time these episodes have Spider-Man tell jokes were a joke isn't needed like for example having Spider-Man make a joke while he's just been told that he has exactly one hour left to live which is something that Spider-Man would never do but that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

Lets talk for a second about these episodes villains who are Spencer and Alistair Smythe , Norman Osbourne and Wilson Fisk / Kingpin. In my opinion these two episodes didn't really need four main villains if anything these two episodes just needed three villains since Alistair Smythes motivation is to get revenge on Spider-Man for the death of his father Spencer Smythe and as such you don't really need Norman Osbourne in these episodes since he adds nothing to either episode since you could have had Wilson Fisk / Kingpin be the one that's giving Spencer and Alistair Smythe the money that they need to build The Spider Slayer robots and as for Spencer Smythe I honestly liked that he wasn't evil since he was just trying to do the right thing by his son Alistair Smythe and that honestly made the death of Spencer Smythe and the turn to the evil side of things for Alistair Smythe all the more tragic but that's just what I think and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

Now then the combined total running time for these two episodes is forty minuets and five seconds and like I said at the start if this review these episodes didn't need there story to be told over two episodes. Since you could tell the exact same story in one episode with the first half of the episode dealing with the death of Spencer Smythe and the second episode dealing with the fall from the side of good of Alistair Smythe but I will admit that both episodes have some really good pacing in my very humble and as well as in my very honest opinion anyways.

Now then boys and girls since this is an action show after all and there is some / alot of action to be found in these very episodes it only makes sense that I now take the tie to talk about the actions that's featured / presented to us in these episodes and if i'm being honest the action that's presented to us in these episodes is really freaking good. Simply because the action that's presented to us in these episodes is really freaking exciting and I have to admit the action that's in "Return Of The Spider Slayers" actually had me on the edge of my seat because that's how good the action was in my humble and very honest opinion anyways.

Overall while it was very pointless to make these two episodes basically a two part episode since they have totally different stories there is alot of good to be found in both of these episodes. Now then boys and girls since i've talked about both if the good things in this episodes in this actual review and both of the bad things that are in this episode in this actual review both of these episodes get a combined score of a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

As for where I got the images that I used in this very review well I got all of the images that I used in this very review from the official Marvel Animated Universe fandom wiki page and nowhere else. Since I only went to the official Marvel Animated Universe fandom wiki page and nowhere else I have to no choice but to recommend that you guys use the official Marvel Animated Universe fandom wiki page if you want to use images from alot of the nineties Marvel TV animated TV shows and alot of the images that are on the official Marvel Animated Universe fandom wiki page are fairly high definition as well as being fairly high quality but that's just what I think and as well as being in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

My Very First SPOILER FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Impressions Of The Edens Zero Anime

 

Ladies and gentlemen I honestly didn't plan on taking a look at another anime so soon after taking a look at the first two episodes of the Fairy Tail TV anime. However fate has decided that it will / would very much like me to take a look at another anime and just like with Godzilla: Singular Point I completely forgot that this anime was even coming let alone that it technically has had it's first two episodes released for a good few days at least ( at the time of this writing at least) and so join me as I give you my very first impressions of the anime series that is simply called "Edens Zero" enjoy.

Now I honestly have no idea what the plot of this show even is and i've read some of the early issues of the Edens Zero manga and I get that it's kind of usual for the story of anime to start showing around the fourth episode. However there still needs to be some hint of the what the plot of the show is in the first three of in this case the first two episodes which sadly isn't the case and while that may have also been true for the Fairy Tail anime TV series that doesn't mean that it's a legit problem with both shows since you need a story in order to convince people to come back and watch next weeks episode but that's just what I think anyways.

Now then boys and girls since there isn't a cast list out there for these first two episodes and as such i'm just going to list every actor and / or actress who is starring in the show as a whole and so starring in this show is Mikako Komatsu as Rebecca Bluegarden. Also starring in this show is Takuma Terashima as Shiki Granbell , Hiromichi Tezuka as Wise Steiner , Houchu Ohtsuka as Ziggy , Kikuko Inoue as Mother , Rie Kugimiya as Happy , Sayaka Ohara as Elsie Crimson , Shiki Aoki as Homura Kōgetsu and Shiori Izawa as E.M. Pino.

As for what I thought about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this episode in all honesty the acting that's featured / presented to us in this episode isn't that bad in my humble and very honest opinion and I say that the acting that's featured / presented to us in this episode isn't that bad simply because like with Fairy Tail the idea and concept behind this show is bit farfetched. As such no one would have blamed the actors that are appearing in these first two episodes if they chose to either over act or under act in either these first two episodes of the Edens Zero anime TV series or in the show show as a whole and as such it was honestly fairly shocking to see the actors that are appearing in this episode treat the material rather seriously and that honestly I think that that helped the performances of the actors that are appearing in this episode in my humble and very honest opinion it did anyways but that's just what I think anyways.

Doing the animation for not only these first two episodes but for the show as a whole is J.C. Staff and even tho the name J.C. Staff rings a bell I cannot for the life of me think of what it is that J.C. Staff have worked on that is very noteworthy. As for / in terms of what I thought about the animation that's presented to us in these first two episodes in all honesty the animation that's presented to us in these first two episodes of the Edens Zero anime TV series is at best OK which for an anime let alone an anime that's adapting the work of Fairy Tail creator Hiro Mashima having animation that's just OK and nothing more then that should never be the case in my humble and very honest opinion.

Now then boys and girls if you know Fairy Tail creator Hiro Mashima likes to include characters from his previous work in his new manga and in this case anime and well the same thing is true for this anime. Since not only does Happy appear in these first two episodes of the Edens Zero TV anime series but he's also a main character and not only that but if you look in the background in episode then you might find some more Fairy Tail characters appearing in cameo roles and even tho this post is spoiler free to me saying that characters from Fairy tail are appearing the second of the Edens Zero TV anime series isn't a spoiler since it doesn't spoil the overall plot of the second episode in humble and very freaking honest opinion anyways.

Now then boys and girls incase your all wondering how I manged to see both episode one and episode two of this show. I manged to watch episode one and as well as episode two of this show simply due to the fact that both of these episodes were streamed on March 29th 2021. Now I don't know where these first two episodes were streamed but it's taken at least two days for both episodes one and two of this show to be fully subbed and to be uploaded on to some *ahem* shall we say "other methods" type of websites and which I do not condone using any of those websites nor do I condone watching these first two episodes of the Edens Zero TV anime series the way that I watched the first two episode of the Edens Zero anime TV series.

Now then boys and girls there is at least one character so far who bares a striking resemblance to a main character from Fairy Tail (please note that i'm not including the space pirate princess who looks alot like Erza since i'm only including the characters that we spend alot of time win these first two episodes of the Edens Zero anime TV series) and that's Rebecca Bluegarden who looks so much like Lucy Heartfilia that it's actually unreal how much that they both look very similar to each other. Heck I wouldn't blame anyone who was either reading Edens Zero when it first came out of if there thinking about watch the anime adaption of Edens Zero if they got confused and thought that Rebecca Bluegarden was infact Lucy Heartfilia I mean heck the very least that Hiro Mashima could have done is change Rebecca's hair colour just something would have helped to make her stand out / look a little bit different from Lucy Heartfilia but that's just what I think anyways.

Combined this two episodes have a total running time of at least forty five to possibly even fifty minuets but I could be wrong there so don't hold me to that running time. Unlike the first two episode of the Fairy Tail anime TV series the first episode of the Edens Zero anime TV series aren't telling one story and as such I honestly don't mind the fact that these two episodes seemed a bit rushed because here they are not constrained by the fact that there rushing to tell one episode story in a total of at least forty five minuets to fifty but they are instead constrained by the standerd twenty two minuet running time as such I do feel that having at least first two episodes of the Edens Zero anime TV series at least be forty five minuets each would have helped the episodes since they are still rushing to hit certain plot points and as such any and all impact that those plot points could have are now lost due to how rushed these episodes can feel but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and very honest opinions anyways.

Now then boys and girls since this is an action anime and there is some action to be found in both of these first two episode of the Edens Zero anime TV series that  means that I do have to actually talk about the action that's presented to us in the first two episodes of the Edens Zero anime TV series and in all honesty the action that's featured in these first two episodes of the the Edens Zero anime TV series wasn't that bad in my opinion. Since the action is in all honesty very exciting and there are some cool moments in the actions scenes that are presented to us in these first two episodes of the Edens Zero anime TV series but at the same time there's nothing really new that's brought to the table with these action sequences either which is a shame because like I said the action in these first two episodes of the Edens Zero anime TV series is full of really cool moments but that's just what I think anyways and as well that's just in my humble and very honest opinion anyways.

Overall these first two episodes of the Edens Zero TV anime series / anime TV series were in my opinion at least really good. Yes there are some bad moments in these first two episodes of the Edens Zero anime TV series / Tv anime series but those moments could also be found in other anime and yes i've talked about about both of the good and both the bad things that I found in these first two episodes of the Edens Zero anime TV series / TV series anime / TV anime series in this very review and since this is only my very first impressions of the Edens Zero anime I won't be giving a rating / ranking for the Edens Zero anime since it wouldn't be fair of me to judge a new shows just based of the first two episodes alone since any show can have some good or some bad first two episodes and like I said it wouldn't be fair of me to judge the Edens Zero anime just based of these first two episodes of the Edens Zero anime TV series / TV series anime / TV anime series.

Fairy Tail Anime Episodes One AND Two Review

 

Anime fans I have reviewed quite alot of anime films over the years and I fully intend on reviewing more anime films in the future. However i've not taken a look at that many anime TV shows or to be more precise i'm not yet taken a look at that many episodes of various different anime TV shows and while this is something I personally cannot see changing that much in the future it is something that i'm very slowly taking my time and working on fixing and so that brings me to todays review and so join me as I review episode one and episode of the TV anime that took the anime world by storm back in 2009 with the anime itself being called simply "Fairy Tail" enjoy the review everyone.

The plot of these first two episodes is a young wizard named Lucy Heartfilia wants to join the best guild in the world with that guild being called simply Fairy Tail however she discovers that joining the guild might or might be alot harder then it seems. In terms of what I thought about the plot of these first two episodes in all honesty I thought that the plot of these first two episodes was at best very weak since the story of Lucy Heartfilia joining Fairy Tail gets resolved near the start of episode which to me seemed like a rather rushed ending to that particular and it get's replaced with a story that wasn't good in my opinion but's just what I think about the plot of these first two episodes anyways.

Starring in these first two episodes are Tia Ballard as Happy , Todd Haberkorn as Natsu Dragneel and Cherami Leigh as Lucy Heartfilia. Also starring in these first two episodes of Fairy Tail are Ian Sinclair as Bora , Jessica Cavanagh as Aquarius , Newton Pittman as Gray Fullbuster , Jamie Marchi as Cana Alberona , Eric Vale as Loke , Monica Rial as Mirajane Strauss , R. Bruce Elliott as Makarov Dreyar , Kayla Carlyle as Romeo Conbolt , Jeremy Inman as Taurus , Ben Bryant as Horologium and Brian Mathis as Macao Conbolt.

In terms of what I thought about the acting that's presented to us in these first two episodes of Fairy Tail in all honesty the acting that's presented to us in these first two episodes of Fairy Tail is alot better then I both remember it being as well being better then it really had any right to be and I say that acting in these first two episodes of Fairy Tail is alot better then I both remember it being as well being better then it really had any right to be because the idea behind fairy Tail is a very silly and as well as very out there idea. Since like I just said idea of Fairy Tail is a pretty silly and as well as a very out there idea and as such no one would have blamed these actors if they chose not to give that good of a performance but no the actors that are in these first two episodes of Fairy Tail do a really good job so much so that these actors are for the most part at leas still voicing these characters eleven years later but that's just what I think about the acting that's presented to us in these first two episodes of Fairy tail tho and that's just in my very humble and very honest opinions tho.

Doing the animation for these first two episodes of Fairy Tail is A-1 Pictures and Satelight with both A-1 Pictures and Satelight also providing the animation for the rest of this first series of Fairy Tail. In terms of what I thought about the animation that is / that's presented to us in these first two episode in all honesty the animation that's presented to us in this first episodes isn't that bad and the animation that's presented to us is alot better then alot of the animation that was to be seen in other anime that came out in 2009 but that's just what I think anyways. 

Now given how popular the character of Lucy Heartfilia was when this show was first being broadcast / released you'd be forgiven if you mistakenly thought that Lucy Heartfilia was the main character of this show. However the only reason why Lucy Heartfilia was everywhere when this show was first being broadcast / released is because she's s**y and well s*x sells as such you can imagine my surprise when I found out that the main character of this anime show isn't Lucy Heartfilia but is instead Natsu Dragneel.

While I do understand why Lucy was promoted alot when this show was first being made / broadcast / released since it's easier to sell a series if it has a cute girl in it then it is to sell a series if it a has a fire eating fighter in it. At the same time there's next to nothing in these first two episodes that even hint at the fact that Lucy could have been the shows main character which is a shame because if she was better written then she could have been a more interesting character but in these first two episodes at least Lucy isn't that well written at all because she's not given a personality or I think any kind of flaws but I could be wrong tho and while the character might get more interesting as the show / series goes on you only get one chance to make a good first impression and these first two episodes of Fairy Tail didn't make a good first impression with the character of Lucy Heartfilia in my humble and in my very honest opinion anyways.

I will fully admit that I was never that big of a Fairy Tail simply / mostly because this show first came out when I was either in sixth form collage or when I was actually in collage and as such I had little to no interest in any kind of anime at that time. Which is a shame because this does seem like it's a really good show and have read more then my fair share of issues from the Fairy Tail manga and if the anime more then lives up to the manga then i'd be more then happy (yes that pun was very much intended) to check out some of the other episodes of even some of the movies from the Fairy tail anime franchise in the near or even in the distant future.

Now then don't hold me to this but but I think that the combined total running for both of these first two episodes of the Fairy Tail anime is about forty five minuets but I could be wrong and I most likely am very wrong as well and I feel that having this story play out over two episodes really wasn't needed and I say that this story being told over two episodes simply wasn't needed due to the fact that you could have told this whole story in one episode and because there isn't enough story to cover or even warrant two episodes. Heck if you did tell this story over one episode you could have had the first half of the episode be what was in the first episode of the Fairy Tail anime and the second be what was in the second episode of the Fairy Tail anime and the best thing of all is you'd have to loose nothing that's important to the actual story but you would for obvious reasons have to cut down on a lot of the filler scenes which are in both of these first two episodes of the Fair Tail anime but that's just what I think anyways.

Now then boys and girls since the Fairy tail anime and the whole Fairy Tail franchise is an action franchise and there is action in these first two episodes that does mean that I have to talk about the action that's featured / presented to us in these first two episodes of the Fairy Tail anime and in my opinion the action that's presented to us in these two episodes of the fairy tail anime is freaking fantastic. Simply because the action that's presented to us in these two episodes of the Fairy Tail anime is so much fun to see and the action in these first two episodes of the Fairy Tail anime is also full to the brim with cool moments which for an action anime is in my opinion at least a really good thing simply because you always want some really cool moments to happen in your action scenes regardless of if your an anime or not if your even animated or not since having some really cool moments in your action sequences is a sure fire way to get your audience excited and that's what the action sequences / action scenes do in this first two episode of the Fairy Tail anime in my personal as well as humble and as well as my honest opinion. 

Overall I honestly really did like these first two episodes of the Fairy Tail anime since there was lots of action and lots of comedy. However there were also some bad things about both of these first episodes and since i've talked about both of the good and both of the bad things that are in these first episodes episodes of the Fairy Tail anime in this very review then I have to say that these first two episodes of the Fairy tail anime get a combined score of an 8.5 out of 10 from me / this anime fan.

As for where I got the images that I used in this review well I got the images that I used in this review from either Google Images or of course the official Fairy Tail fandom wiki page. With my preferred website to use for images from either of these first two episodes of the Fairy tail anime being of course the official Fairy Tail fandom wiki page just simply due to how shockingly high quality as well how shockingly high definition almost all of the images on the official Fairy Tail fandom wiki page but that's just what i think anyways.

My Very First SPOILER FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Impressions Of Godzilla: Singular Point

 

Well then Godzilla fans I had planned on reviewing the 1962 Godzilla and King Kong movie which was / is called simply King Kong Vs. Godzilla and well you know what they say about the best laid plans of mice and men. I will fully freaking admit right here and right now that I straight forgot about this show and I will also fully admit that I straight forgot about this show even being a thing let alone that it was coming out this year and so boys and girls here are my very first SPOILER FREE first impressions of the new anime show that bares the Godzilla name and is set in the world of Godzilla with the show itself being called simply "Godzilla: Singular Point" and so enjoy reading this post everyone.

The plot of this episode is co-workers Yun Arikawa and Haberu Kato are tasked with finding with the source of a mysterious noise but also tasked with finding the source of that same mysterious noise is one Mei Kamino all the meanwhile Yun and Haberus boss Goro Otaki is working on a robot that could potentially save the universe if only people would believe that he doesn't have a screw or two loose that is. In terms of what I thought about the plot of this episode in all honesty the plot of this episode is exactly the kind of plot that you'd expect from the first ever episode of a Godzilla anime in that the actual plot itself is pretty weak which is to be expected given that it's a TV series but at the same time the plot of this episode is pretty interesting in my humble and honest opinion and it does make me want to watch the next episode and the plot of this episode does make me want to watch the next episode just so i can see what happens next to these (so far) pretty likable characters but that's just what I think about the plot of this debut episode anyways.

Starring in this episode is Yume Miyamoto as Mei Kamino , Shoya Ishige as Yun Arikawa and Taro Kiuchi as Haberu Kato. Also starring in this debut / premiere episode is Wataru Takagi as Goro Otaki , Misaki Kuno as Pero 2 , Rie Kugimiya as Jung , Jin Urayama as Tsunetomo Yamamoto , Yohei Azakami as Shunya Sato , Hiromi Yoshiyama as Norikiyo Fujiwara , Hiroshi Naka as The Police Chief , Genki Yoshimoto as Police Officer , Hiromichi Tezuka as The Busdriver , Miyu Komaki as The Bus Announcer , Ryosuke Hara as The Voice On The Car Radio and Naho Oketani as The Boys At The Fairground / The Fun Fair / The Fair.

In terms of what I thought about the actual acting that's resented to us in this episode in all honesty i thought that the acting that was presented to us in this actual debut / premiere episode was alot better then it really had any right to be and I say that the acting that was presented to us in this actual debut / premiere episode was alot better then it really had any right to be because nobody would go into a Godzilla anime expecting. As such it was honestly refreshing to see that this debut / premiere episode had some really good acting in it or well this debut / premiere episode has good acting in it in my humble and very honest opinion anyways. 

Doing the animation for not only this episode but thus the rest of the series is BONES and Orange and these are two companies that I personally haven't heard of so don't worry if you guys haven't heard of them because like I just said I haven't heard of them either. In terms / as for what I thought about the animation that's in this episode in all honesty the animation that's in this episode to me at least nothing special since in my personal opinion at least there was nothing that truly stood out about the animation that's in this episode which given that the first is the first episode of a brand new anime that's honestly to be expected since you don't won't the first episode of a brand new anime to blow it's entire animation budget in the very first episode of a whatever the brand anime show is being called but that's just what I think anyways.

Now then boys and girls for those of you that dont know or just straight up forgot believe it or not this isn't the first Godzilla animated project heck it's not even the first Godzilla anime. Since the earliest Godzilla animated project that I could find was the 1978 American animated series which was called simply "Godzilla" which was show that was pretty much for kids and the earliest Godzilla anime was the 2017 CGI Godzilla anime film with the film itself being called simply "Godzilla: Planet Of The Monsters" however this show is the very first Godzilla anime TV show tho and so far this series seems to be pretty freaking good in my humble and honest opinion that is anyways.

I honestly don't know why it's taken roughly or even close to or even around sixty to seventy years for Godzilla to get his first anime series. Since the character is ripe for an anime since he's a fairly complex character with Godzilla being portrayed as being both a hero and a villain in the Japanese and American Godzilla films and Godzilla has a pretty dark backstory which is makes the character perfect for an anime series plus there are stories in an anime TV series that while you could tell them and in some cases they did tell them in a Godzilla those same stories would also be perfect for a Godzilla anime TV series in humble and very honest opinions anyways.

Now then boys and girls this episode has a total running time of twenty three minuets and thirty five seconds which I think is the perfect running time for this particular episode and I say that twenty three minuets and thirty five seconds is the perfect running time for this particular episode simply because there's not much actual story being told. Which like I said makes sense because this is the first / debut / premiering / premiere episode of a new anime and so it makes sense that the story would bit a of a slow burn because they have to somehow find away to hook you into this show and thus get you to watch not only next weeks episode but all the episodes in this show and as such it really wouldn't make sense for this episode to have a long running time or even have a running time that's even close to thirty minuets or even forty five minuets in my humble and very honest opinion anyways.

Now then if you remember the 2014 American live action Godzilla film which was called simply "Godzilla" you'll remember that alot of people myself included had one major complaint about that film and while I won't mention what that complaint because it's spoiler for this episode i'll just say the same problem is in this episode. However in this episode it actually makes alot of sense since this is a TV series and not a theatrically released film but that's just what I think anyways.

Now then boys and girls sadly there is one part of the episode that I simply cannot talk about because it's spoiler and while it is bad that this thing is in this first episode like i just said for an anime TV series based around and set in the the world of Godzilla it actually makes alot of sense that this thing isn't in this debut episode. However I can say that there are some honestly really funny and in all honesty laugh out moments in this episode and all of them feature the character of Mei Kamino who i think is going to become this series comic relief character but that's just what I think tho anyways and that's just in my humble and very honest opinions anyways. 

Overall this was in all honesty not that bad of an episode since it did all of the things that a good debut / premier / pilot episode should do in my opinion. However it doesn't have any of the things that people love about the Godzilla film franchise in my humble and honest opinion and as such I can honestly see die hard Godzilla fans not liking this episode but also either not liking this anime series or just straight up trashing this particular anime series just based of this first / premier / debut / pilot episode and yes i've talking about both of the good and of the bad things that are in this episode in this very review and since this is only my very first impressions of the show I won't be giving this show a rating since it would be fair for me to judge this show just based of the first episode since any TV show anime or live live action can have a bad first episode just like any anime or live action TV show can have a good first / premier / debut / pilot and as such it wouldn't be fair of me to judge this entire show just based of this episode.

As for where I got the images that I used in this review well I got all of the images that I used in this review from the official Wikizilla fandom wiki page and the official Godzilla fandom wiki page. With my preferred website to use the images from this particular episode that I used in this review being the official Wikizilla fandom wiki page just simply because it was the only website that had images from this episode and it also had a complete cast list and yeah i'm going to cancel the Godzilla Vs. Kong tie in which would have been King Kong Vs. Godzilla simply because I need a break from taking a look at things to do with Godzilla.
