Sonic The Hedgehog / Sonic SatAm "Sonic Boom" Review

 

Ladies and gentle Sonic The Hedgehog is a character that despite being really popular with both video games fans and mainstream audiences he has very rarely gotten adapted by American animation studios. Well I thought i'd look at an actually good Sonic The Hedgehog animated series episode and it helps that this is an episode that've been thinking of taking a look at for sometime and so join me as I review the debuting episode of the animated series that is called simply just "Sonic The Hedgehog" with the episode in question being called simply just "Sonic Boom" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Sonic , Princess Sally , Cat and Antoine Depardieu infiltrate the base of Dr. Robotnik looking to destroy some of Dr. Robotniks robots but while there Sally finds a message from her supposedly dead father and so the group sets out to see if Sally's father is truly dead or not without realising that Dr. Robotnik is right on their tale / tail. In terms of what I personally thought about the plot of this episode in all honesty I thought that the plot of this episode was really good with the story itself being both interesting and at the same time kind of heartbreaking and shocking.

Starring in this particular episode is voice acting legend Frank Welker as Cluck and as possibly Swat-Bot , voice acting legend and Disney legend Jim Cummings as Dr. Robotnik and as possibly Swat-Bot  and Jaleel White as Sonic The Hedgehog. Also starring in this episode is voice acting great Rob Paulsen as Antoine Depardieu , William Windom as Cat , voice acting great Kath Soucie as Sally and as Nicole and Charlie Adler as Snively.

In terms of what I personally thought of the acting in this episode in all honesty the acting in this episode was alot better then what I thought that it was going to be. Since I honestly thought that the acting in this particular episode was going to be pretty bad / suck but nope I was honestly shocked at how good the voice acting / acting in this episode actually was which shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone given who is starring in this particular episode.

Doing the animation for this episode is Sae Rom (Searom Animation) and Milimetros Dibujos Animados (Milimetros S.A.) and don't worry if you haven't heard of Sae Rom because truth be told I haven't heard of any of Sae Rom either and nope Milimetros Dibujos Animados isn't a made up name it's actual real person who worked on this show. As for what I personally thought about the animation that's featured / presented to us in this particular episode in all honesty I thought that the animation that was featured / presented to us in this particular episode was so freaking good you can / could really tell that whoever was doing the animation on / for this episode was having a really good because every aspect of the animation in this episode is in my opinion at least well and truly fantastic to look at. 

While Adventures Of Sonic dealt more with child friendly stories and had child friendly this show took the opposite approach and I honestly that telling dark stories with complex and well written characters honestly works well for this show and for this episode. Simply because it shows that the makers of both this particular episode of this show care about the characters and that the makers of this show and this episode know what makes the game characters and as well as how to make the characters that are created for this particular show somewhat interesting.

Character wise I really did like all of the hero characters in this episode and I thought that all of the hero characters were well written. The same thing can also be said for the villain characters in this episode since the villains in this episode (Dr. Robotnik and Snively) were really well written even both of the villain characters in this particular episode don't get alot of screen time which honestly does hurt the villain since it now makes it look like that both of the villain characters are angry for no apparent reason whatsoever and while that is a very major issue it didn't stop me from enjoying this episode and from enjoying both the hero and the villain characters that appear in this particular episode. 

I will admit that out of the hero characters I did think that the character of Sally could have been written a bit better. Since in this episode she comes across as both incredibly smart and incredibly naïve at the same time since she knows how to basically hack into robots but yet at the same time she doesn't pick up on the fact that she's being followed which wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't for the fact that she's high up in a freedom fighter group called "The Knothole Freedom Fighters" and as such a little bit of consistency with her character would have been very much appreciated.

Now then boys and girls this particular episode has a grand total running time of twenty two minuets and thirty eight seconds. Which I honestly felt was a bit short for this episode and for this story since you very easily could have made this episode a multipart episode which honestly would have helped the story and it would have helped introduce us to all of this particular shows main cast of hero characters but as it is th story comes across as being rushed because the show has to meet these plot points in order to reach that twenty two minuet running time. 

Now then boys and girls this is an action show after all and that means that I have to talk about the action that's in the actual episode itself and if i'm being honest I personally felt that the action that's featured / presented to us in this episode wasn't that good. Simply because there wasn't that much action in this episode and the action that we did get in this episode simply just wasn't inspiring , cool or even creative but that's just what I personally think and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

Overall this honestly a really good episode to what I believe is a really good show and i'm so glad that I got to finally check this episode of my never ending but still somehow ever growing list of things to review. Now then boys girls i've just talked about all of the good things and all of the bad things that I personally found in this particular episode in this very review and so that means that this episode gets a solid 7.5 out of 10 from me.

As for where I got all of the images that I used in this very review well I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Sonic The Hedgehog fandom wiki page and since I only went to the official Sonic The Hedgehog fandom wiki page for the images that I used in this very review. I have no choice but to recommend that you guys use the official Sonic The Hedgehog fandom wiki page if you guys want to use any images that that's to do with the Sonic The Hedgehog franchise.

Love , Death And Robots Series Two Review

 

Ladies and gentlemen the awesomeness that is Love , Death And Robots has just released it's entire second series on Netflix and well you just know that I had to check it out and well it really didn't disappoint. I won't lie and say that this series is better then the first first series simply because I don't think that that's even close to even being true but I do think that this is a good series and so join me as I review the second series of the TV series that is called simply "Love , Death And Robots" enjoy.

Just like with the first series of the show this series takes on an anthology format with each and every episode telling a different story and well I think that this format works well for this show. As it allows the makers of this show to tell these really weird and odd stories that you just wouldn't be able to do in either a feature length film or in a TV series that doesn't use an anthology format and I will say that all of the stories in this series are in my opinion at least really freaking good.

Now then I really cannot find out who is playing who in this series and believe you and me i've looked but I do know who some of the actors who are appearing in this series are tho and so starring in this series is Nolan North. Also starring in this series is Elodie Young , Joe Dempsie , Steven Pacey , Sami Amber , Fred Tatasciore , Brynley North , Michelle C. Bonilla , Briant T. Delaney and Michael B. Jordan.

In terms of what I thought about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this series in all honesty the acting that's featured / presented to us in this series is really freaking good in my opinion. Since you can quite clearly tell that all of the actors that are appearing in this particular series are giving there best shot and it really does show in the performances and it helps that all of the scripts in this particular series are in my opinion at least really good and so all the actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and boom a good performance will come out very naturally. 

Doing the animation for this particular series is Atoll Studio , Passion Animation Studios , Blur Studio , Unit Image , Axis Animation and Blink Industries. In terms of what I personally thought about the animation in this particular series in all honesty the animation that's featured in this particular series is so freaking good i'm not kidding when I say this but the animation that's featured / presented to us in these episodes is movie quality because it's that good heck the animation that's featured / presented to us in these episodes at times honestly looks like live action that's how good the animation in this particular series well and truly is in my opinion.

Now I did go into this review thinking that this series was alot tamer then the first series however the end of episode four which is called simply just "Snow In The Desert" very quickly changed my perception of this series. Since yeah this series is just as dark and just as brutal as the first series was which was honestly good to see since alot of the episodes up until that point had been playing it pretty safe by not showing us anything really adult and then episode four comes along and gives us all of the adult goodness that we love in this series.

What I found to be pretty odd is that this series has a Christmas episode which honestly makes me wonder if this series was due to be released in December of last year or was due to be released in December of this year. Since having a Christmas episode air in the middle of Spring is just weird and strange and it doesn't help that the Christmas is perhaps the worst episode of this particular series in my opinion.

As with the first series there is what appears to be a live action episode in this series altho given how good the animation in this series is it's honestly really hard to tell if the last episode of this series was live action or if the last episode of this series was fully 3D CGI animated or not. However if the last episode of this series was live action then whole heck does the CGI in that episode look fantastic because not only did they create a fully 3D CGI giant but they had they giant interact with the sand on a beach and they had possible live action actors interacting with the giant all of which would have been a huge pain to create and yet the team over at Blur Studio not only created it but they also in my opinion at least made it look really freaking good.

Now then boys girls this particular series of Love , Death And Robots is made up of eight episodes with all of the episodes lasting no longer then eighteen minuets and so you could very easily binge watch all of these episodes in well under two and a half hours. This is something that I myself have just finished doing and trust me it will be worth it since you'll get to see some truly fantastic stories being told over the course of those eight episodes.

Now then boys and girls as with any show not all of the episodes in this series are that good infact there are at least three maybe even four episodes that are pretty bad / weak. However even those episodes are still really good episodes they just come of looking bad when you compare them to the over episodes in this series and as for what episode I personally liked in this series I personally either episode four "Snow In The Desert" or episode three which is called simply just "Pop Squad" since both of those episodes tell really good stories and both of those episodes also have what I think are some truly shocking endings.

Overall this particular series was in my opinion at least a really good follow up to a really great first series and yes there are a few things wrong this series those things mostly being the bad episodes but in my opinion are least there are far more good things in this series then there are bad things with this series. Now then boys and girls since i've talked about all of the good and both of the bad things that are in this series in this very review that means that this particular series of Love , Death And Robots gets a solid 8.5 out of 10 from me.

As for where I got all of the images that I personally used in this review well then boys and girls I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Love , Death And Robots fandom wiki page and nowhere else and since I only went to the official Love , Death And Robots fandom wiki page. I have no choice but to recommend that you guys use the official Love , Death And Robots fandom wiki page if you want to use any image from Love , Death And Robots and yes there is a third season of Love , Death And Robots coming at somepoint next year but weather or not i'll review that particular series remains to be seen tho.

Tom And Jerry: The Two Mouseketeers Review

 

Tom And Jerry fans it's been at the very least two years since i've talked / spoken about some of the classic Tom And Jerry shorts and well I wanted to put that to an end today. As such I went out and I think that i've found perhaps the darkest al all heck ending to a Tom And Jerry cartoon ever and yes i'm counting the ending the ending to "Blue Cat Blues" in there as well and so join me as I review the 1952 Tom And Jerry cartoon with the cartoon / short film in question being called simply just "The Two Mouseketeers" enjoy.

The plot of this Tom And Jerry cartoon is that Tom is tasked with guarding the French King's banquet table and all seems to be going swimmingly that is until Jerry and his friend Nibbles show up looking for some food. In terms of what I thought about the plot of this Tom And Jerry cartoon / short film in all honesty the plot of this cartoon was really simple that works great for Tom And Jerry since the Tom And Jerry cartoons were never about telling complex stories and so seeing that this cartoon had a rather simple story is in my opinion at least a step in the right direction / a very good thing indeed.

Starring in this cartoon is animation legend and Tom And Jerry co-creator / co-writer and co-director William Hanna as Tom Cat , Jerry Mouse and possibly what I think is the King's butler and Francoise Brun-Cottan as Nibbles. As is very well known at this point in time Tom And Jerry cartoons never use voice actors in alot of the Tom And Jerry cartoons / shorts with Tom And Jerry themselves remaining silent apart from the occasional yell from either Tom or Jerry and as such it honestly makes the acting in this short hard to judge since there are only two actors appearing in this cartoon and trust me i've looked pretty much everywhere online to find a complete cast list and there simply isn't a complete cast list for this cartoon out there.

As for what I personally thought about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this cartoon in all honesty the acting that's featured / presented to us in this cartoon was really good. Since Francoise Brun-Cottan does turn in a good performance as Nibbles even tho her voice isn't heard that much in this cartoon and it's always a delight to hear William Hanna yell as loud as he can as Tom Cat and yes William Hanna does also turn in a really / pretty good performance as both Tom Cat and as well as Jerry Mouse.

Doing the animation for this film are the animators Irven Spence , Ed Barge and Kenneth Muse who I really feel did a good job with the animation in this cartoon. Since in my opinion at least the animation that's featured / presented to us in this cartoon / short cartoon is really good with all of the characters having really fluid movements and the backgrounds are highly detailed and I have to give props to whomever animated Nibbles on top of the moving canon near the end of the cartoon because that would have been hard work back in the very early nineteen fifties and heck it still would be hard work to this very day but they pulled it off in this cartoon and in my opinion at least it honestly does indeed look great.

As you can all work out by the title of this cartoon the name of this cartoon is a play on The Three Musketeers however apart from parodying the title and having this cartoon being set in seventeenth centaury France this cartoon has nothing really in common with Alexandre Dumas novel. I honestly feel that only parodying The Three Musketeers title is perhaps the only way that you could tell the story of even use the characters of The Three Musketeers in a Tom And Jerry cartoon since using the actual three musketeers would make Tom And Jerry feel more like side characters in their own cartoon / short film / series.

Now then boys and girls i've been giving this cartoon alot of praise but there are a  few things that I personally didn't like with the first thing being the fact that for a Tom And Jerry cartoon that features alot of food this cartoon is pretty freaking tame and the fact that this cartoon makes Jerry and Nibbles out to be the villains. Now I can handle the lack of extreme violence that's in this cartoon simply due to how this cartoon ends (however that is still an issue for me personally) however I cannot ignore the fact that Jerry and Nibbles are being portrayed as the bad guys in this cartoon since neither Jerry nor Nibbles are bad guys they just like to have fun and so having them be the straight up bad guys is out of character for both characters 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 boys and girls you see when I said that this cartoon was dark as all heck I really did mean because the ending to this cartoon is super freaking dark. Since this cartoon ends with Tom straight up getting killed by getting his head chopped of and no they don't reveal that Tom was somewhere else and Jerry and Nibbles saw someone else getting beheaded so that makes the ending to this cartoon alot , lot , lot , lot , lot , lot darker then the ending to "Blue Cat Blues" since in this cartoon a main character actually does end up dying.

Now then boys and girls this cartoon / short film has a grand total running time of seven minuets and five seconds and well I have to say that this is the perfect running time for this particular cartoon / short film. Simply because there really isn't enough story to even get this cartoon / short film to say twenty two minuets or even ten minuets for that matter and having this short film / cartoon come in at seven minuets and five seconds means that we can put a little effort on this particular cartoons / short films story and as well as put a lot of effort into the comedy and violence that's featured / presented to us in this particular cartoon / short film.

Now then boys and girls this cartoon is a comedy after all and that means that we / I have to talk about the actual comedy that's featured / presented to us in this / the actual cartoon itself and well if i'm being honest the comedy that's featured / presented to us in this cartoon / short film is at best pretty funny. Which for a Tom And Jerry cartoon simply isn't good enough but there are one or two good jokes in this cartoon / short film and some of the slapstick is in my opinion at least pretty freaking funny.

Overall this is a really good and deeply disturbing cartoon (since who seriously wants to see Tom Cat getting beheaded that's like saying that you want to see a sequel the 1992 animated film Tom And Jerry: The Movie) but with that said there is some good to be found in this cartoon / short film just not much sadly. Now then boys and girls since i've talked about both of the good things and as well as both of the bad things that are in this cartoon in this very review that means that this cartoon gets a solid 7.5 out of 10 from me.

As for where I got all the images that I used in this review well then boys and girls I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Tom And Jerry fandom wiki page and since I only went to one website for the images that I used in this very review. I have no choice but to recommend that you guys use the official Tom And Jerry fandom wiki page if you guys want to use any images that are to do with Tom And Jerry but fair warning even tho the images that are on the official Tom And Jerry fandom wiki page might not look either high quality or as well as high definition the images that are featured n the official Tom And Jerry fandom wiki page actually are both petty high quality and well as being pretty freaking high definition.

AEW Blood And Guts Review

 

Ladies and gentlemen it's been about five or possibly even six months since I last reviewed anything from AEW AKA All Elite Wrestling and well I thought that i'd put an end to that dry streak right now. I will say that the event that i'm about to review is perhaps the most mixed event in AEW history simply because when this event was first broadcast a few days ago wrestling fans cannot not and could not / couldn't decide on if they like / liked this event or not nor can wrestling fans decide on if this was a good event or not and so here is my review of the event that is called simply "AEW Blood And Guts" enjoy.

I will very fully admit that i've not been keeping up that much with the AEW product simply because I just don't have the time to watch another wresting show and with that being said I did find it a little bit difficult to keep up with the plot lines that are currently going on in AEW. With that being said the stories that were very easy to follow like the fact that SCU could break up if they loose there next match was / were very easy to follow 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.

One of the things that I didn't like about AEW Dynamite when it first started was he fact that they didn't really take full advantage of or do anything with the tunnels that they have on the stage and well i'm pleased to say that issue does / has seemed to be resolved. Since here you see both faces (good guys) and heels (bad guys) walk out of both tunnels which means that there's isn't that much dead space in the set / stage.

However now tho I have a slight issue with the fact that there's no ramp into or even near the ring and as well as the fact that there's a podium on the stage for no reason. Now the fact that there isn't a ramp could be due to the fact that The Daily's Place could be a small arena and they simply couldn't fit a ramp in there but it means a lot of dead space between the stage and the ring which really could have been filled in a bit just to remove that dead space and they could or even should have removed the podium that they have on the stage simply because it's there for no reason whatsoever and so it's a pointless edition to the stage in my opinion.

Now then boys and girls gimmick matches have been around for a long time with some gimmick matches becoming very well known so well known infact that they have an entire event named after them. Sadly tho I cannot see AEW continuing using the titular Blood And Guts match simply because it comes across as a rip off of the War Games match from both WCW and WWF / WWE and as such I do very strongly feel that if AEW were to continue the titular Blood And Guts match then AEW should put more of an effort into making this match stand out from the very similar War Games match.

I have to say that not only are the rules of the Blood And Guts match almost the exact same as the War Games match but visually both the Blood And Guts and as well being the War Games match look the exact same. Which to me at least only adds to my theory that the Blood And Guts match type is a rip off / a knock off of the War Games match and as such I very do strongly feel that WWE / Vince McMahon would have grounds to possibly even sue AEW simply due to the fact that Vince McMahon owns both WCW and the War Games match type.

What I personally found to be very shocking is the fact that there's only one woman's match on the entire match card / card / show / event and that one woman's match which is one this show is a squash match and nothing more. Which is a shame because AEW / All Elite Wrestling does (from what I can recall / remember at least) have a very good women's division which is filled with women who can wrestle and so it's just a shame that those women aren't been / being given the opportunity to show us the fans what they can actually do in the ring. 

Now i've seen a few articles reporting on the hate that the fall Chris Jericho took at the end of the Blood And Guts and while I can see their point of view since the fall isn't as impactful as it perhaps could have been. What we all have to remember is that Chris Jericho is in his fifties now and he is very quickly approaching his mid fifties and so to expect him to a very dangerous fall at his age would be stupid and so having him fall onto what is basically a load of boxes is the best that we could have possibly have hoped for at this point in time but with that being said I do feel that the fall would have had more of an impact if however was taking the fall landed on a padded concrete floor of if the cameras didn't make it so obvious that Chris Jericho was going to be landing on what like I said just said was a bunch of boxes that have been rigged so it's a little bit more safer for the wrestler taking the fall.

Now then boys and girls this event / episode of AEW (All Elite Wrestling Dynamite has a grand total running time of one hour and fifty minuets and fifteen seconds and well this episode really didn't need to be that long at all. Simply because the matches that are on this show / card / match card don't last that long in fact about from the Blood And Guts match all of the matches that are on this show / card / match card / show card / show match card / match show card all come in at less then twenty minuets long. With the Blood And Guts and Guts match coming in at somewhere around thirty minuets but really does make this even drag is the fact that there's a really long Kenny Omega and Orange Cassidy promo near the end of this show and the fact that for no reason the commentators spend at least five minuets just after the Kenny Omega / Orange Cassidy promo just saying that the Blood And Guts match type is up next.

Now then boys and girls this show is of course a wrestling show and that means that I have to talk about the actual wrestling that's featured / presented to us in the actual wrestling show itself and well I honestly do feel that the wrestling that's featured / presented to us in this show is honestly pretty good. With all of the wrestlers that are featured on this show / event putting in some really good wrestling with perhaps my favourite matching being either the Kenny Omega and Michael Nakazawa Vs Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston or the fatal four way elimination tag team match for a chance to face The Young Bucks for the AEW World Tag Team Championship next week on AEW Dynamite or of course the titular Blood And Guts match just due to how insane that match is and as well being how insanely good some of the moves in the titular Blood And Guts match are 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. 

Overall I honestly have very mixed feelings about this event since even tho some of the matches were in my opinion at least really freaking good there were alot of things that made this event feel very boring to me in my very humble and as well as being my very honest opinion at least / anyways. Now then boys and girls i've talked about both of the very good things in this show / event and as well as both of the very bad things that are in this show / event which means that this pro wrestling show / pro wrestling event gets a 6.5 out of 10 from me personally.

As for where I got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from either the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page or Google Images and well I cannot actually tell you which website I prefer to use for the images that I personally used in this very review. Since even tho the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page doesn't have any images from the actual event the images that I personally did use from the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page seemed to mix from either fairly high quality to fairly low quality to really high quality and even tho Google Images has a lot more verity of images from this actual event the images that are on Google Images range from either fairly high quality to high quality. 

My First Impressions Of Star Wars: The Bad Batch

 

Ladies and gentlemen the world of Star Wars is a world that is always expanding through various forms if media and well the world of Star Wars is expanding again. Since there is a new Star Wars animated TV series currently airing on Disney+ and even tho i'm a few days late to making this post you just know that I had to cover this show and so here are my first impressions of the latest animated TV show to be set in the Star Wars universe with the TV show that is in question being called simply "Star Wars: The Bad Batch" enjoy.

Now then boys and girls the plot of the first episode of this show is a rouge squadron of Clone troopers find themselves on the run from the empire and the plot of the second episode of this show is the clones and their new alley Omega have to help an old friend and his family escape from a planet that is now officially under empyreal control.  In terms of what  thought about the plots of both the first and of the second episode I honestly / really did enjoy the plot of the first episode alot more since it was a really well written story where as the plot of the second episode to me at least felt more lighthearted but episode two was still a really well written episode tho.

Starring in these first two episodes are Dee Bradley Baker as The Bad Batch / Captain Grey / Clone Troopers and Cut and Archie Panjabi as Depa Billaba. Also starring in these first two episodes are Michelle Ang as Omega , Ben Diskin as AZI-3 , Matthew Wood as Battle Droids , Bob Bergen as Lama Su , Gwendoline Yeo as Nala Se , Tom Kane as The Narrator , Stephen Stanton as Admiral Tarkin / Armed Fighter 1 and Armed Fighter 2 , Nika Futterman as Fauja and Shaeeah , Kath Soucie as Jek and Cara Pifko as Suu.

Now then boys and girls there is a few names on there that i've chosen not to mention when crediting who's starring / appearing in these first two episodes simply I want you guys to go into these episodes without knowing as much as is humanly possible which given that the first episode of this show came out a few days might be impossible. As for what I thought about the acting that's featured in these first two episodes in all honesty the acting that's featured in these two episodes is really freaking good which in all honesty shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone since the acting in pretty much all of the Star Wars animated projects be they for a TV series , a film or a TV Holiday Christmas special is freaking always freaking top notch anyways but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very honest and as well being in my very humble opinion anyways.

As for who is doing the animation for these two episodes plus the entire series as a whole we have CGCG Inc who also worked on Star Wars Rebels. In terms of what I personally thought about the animation that's featured / presented to us in these first two episodes in all honesty the animation that's featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was so freaking good that at times not only did I feel like I was watching a movie but the show also looked like a movie because the animation and the visuals was that good and this level of high quality animation is something that you'd expect to see in a movie and not something that you'd expect to see in a TV series / a streaming service TV series.

Now then boys and girls for those of you who don't know this series is actually a spin off series since it's spun off from the animated TV series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. While I personally cannot say for sure if you absolutely need / needed to watch every single episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars in order to fully understand the characters that are appearing in / starring in these first two episodes I do think that you need to at the very least have seen a good chunk / a good portion of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

However I personally haven't seen every single episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and I fully understood everything that was going on as well as fully understood each of the characters relationships to each other but that's just me tho. Yes I do think that it would help if you've seen Star Wars: The Clone Wars but I don't think that it's an absolute necessity tho since you can very easily pick up on each of the characters relationship to each other and as well what each of the personality traits are for not only each member of the titular The Bad Batch but for the newly created character of Omega.

Now I have to say that I honestly wasn't able to watch and cover episode one back on May The 4th since I was on holiday on May The 4th.As such I made the conscious choice to watch and cover episodes 1 and 2 together since I knew that episode 2 was coming out and May The 7th and I have to say that this was a wise move since both of the first two episodes in this show flow together really well but at the same time I don't really feel that you need to watch both of the first two episodes in this show since both episodes of this show tell different stories but it was fun seeing both of the first two episodes in this show back to back tho.

Now then boys and girls the first episode of this series has a total running time of one hour and eleven minuets and fourteen seconds while the second episode of this show has a total running time of twenty seven minuets and twelve seconds. In all honesty I really don't see why episode one of this new show had to be one hour and eleven minuets and fourteen seconds since it really doesn't have the story needed to cover that amount of time if anything you could have told the story of episode one in forty five minuets and nothing of importance to the plot would need to be cut / lost / sacrificed and I feel that episode two had the right amount of running time since episode two was basically telling a simple story and as such episode doesn't need / didn't need a long / longer running time in order to fully tell it's rather simple story but that's just what I think anyways and that's in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.

Now then boys and girls this is an action show after all and there is action in these first two episodes and that means that I have to talk about the action that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episode and in all honesty I thought that the action that was featured / presented to us in episode two was pretty weak. Especially when you compare the action in episode two to the action that's featured / presented to us in episode one which I not only felt was better but the action that's featured / presented to us in episode one was also more fun to watch simply because we get to see all of the members of the titular The Bad Batch doing what they do best and as well as showing us what ever it is that they personally bring to the group / team.

Overall even tho episode one of this show does rush it's timeline with Star Wars Episode 3 Revenge Of The Sith I honestly do feel that out of these first two episodes episode one is the better episode not that episode two is bad per say but it's just that I personally prefer episode one of this new show. Now then boys and girls since i've just this second finished talking about both of the good things that are in these episodes and as well as both of the bad things that are in these first two episodes in this very review I will not be giving either of these first two episodes a rating / ranking simply because this isn't a review of either episode but is rather instead just my first impressions of Star Wars: The Bad Batch as a whole and yes I might continue to watch this show / series but only time will tell tho.

As for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from either the official Star Wars: The Clone Wars fandom wiki page or from the official Star Wars fandom wiki page and well I honestly cannot say which website that I personally prefer to use for the images from eithetr of these two episodes. Since even tho there aren't that many images from either of these first two episodes that are on the official Star Wars fandom wiki page the images that are on the official Star Wars fandom wiki page are really high quality and are really high definition which sadly the same cannot be said for the official Star Wars The Clone Wars fandom wiki page which has a lot more of a verity of images but the images that are on the official Star Wars: The Clone Wars fandom wiki page are at best fairly high quality and are at best fairly high definition.

My First Impressions Of The Yasuke Anime TV Series

 

Ladies and gentlemen Netflix has been putting alot of anime as of late and well they have just released another new Netflix original anime series. I will fully admit that I had no intention of taking a look at this particular show that is until a few days ago which was when I saw the first trailer for this show on the official Netflix Youtube cannel and so here are my first impressions of the 2021 Netflix original anime series with the Netflix original anime series in question being called simply "Yasuke" and so enjoy this post everyone.

The plot of this particular episode is that Yasuke is an ex samurai who after seeing his master and lord die spends alot of getting drunk until one day when he tasked with helping a mother and daughter sail to reach a special kind of doctor all the meanwhile Yasuke himself has to deal with things that have happened in his own past. In terms of what I personally thought about the plot of this particular episode in all honesty I thought that the plot of this particular episode was fairly decent since there was nothing that really stood out to me plot wise about this episode and as such the story for / of / to this particular episode just feels like the standard plot to any first episode of a fantasy / history / action anime and nothing more.

Now then since the version of the episode that I personally saw was the English dubbed version of this particular episode I there for have to say that starring in this in this particular episode is and possibly even the rest of the show is Lakeith Stanfield as Yasuke. Also starring in this particular episode and possibly even the rest of the show is Ming-Na Wen as Natsumaru , Maya Tanida as Saki , Darren Criss as Haruto , William Christopher Stephens as Achoja and the only actor to also be playing this role in the Japanese dub of this show we have Takehiro Hira as Nobunaga Oda.

In terms of what I personally thought about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this particular first episode. In all honesty the acting that's featured / presented to us in this particular first episode is alot better then what I personally thought that it was gong to be simply because I had no idea who was even starring in this show and as such I had no idea what to expect from this show acting wise and so I was pleasantly surprised to see that the acting that's featured / presented to us in this first episode was in honesty really freaking good with all of the actors that are starring in this episode and possibly even the rest of this particular show are in my opinion at least well and truly giving us some really freaking fine performances.

Doing the animation for not only this particular episode for this entire particular show is MAPPA who are currently doing work on Attack On Titan: The Final Season. As for what I personally thought / feel / felt about the animation that's featured / presented to us in this particular episode in all honesty the felt that the animation that we saw in this particular episode was really freaking good but at the same time this show feels like that it's not MAPPA at their best tho.

Netflix have really taken ahold of the anime industry at least in American in the pas few years with the company putting out new anime at least every single anime season and heck just yesterday it was announced that Netflix would be adding both of the new Sailor Moon films this summer. As such I personally do feel that Netflix is slowly but very surely becoming the go to home for anime fans but Netflix will have to be very careful because if they do become the go to home for anime and for anime fans then they run the risk of not anime not being as popular over in America simply because of the fact that Netflix nine times out of ten likes to wait at leas a year before releasing whatever the next show is which is bad considering that again nine times out of ten that same show has already been released out in Japan.

Now then one of the big things that I can see websites like Kotaku and even a website like The Mary Sue picking up on in this particular show is the fact that the main character is a person of color. I can see websites like Kotaku and The Mary Sue picking up on this fact simply because all those websites is the color of someone's skin and not how well written or even how well acted the character in question well and truly is. 

Speaking of how well written the characters in this episode are I personally feel that the characters that are in this show aren't going to be very well written at all. Simply because just based of this first episode we've not really gotten any kind of hint as to what the personalities of these characters nor are we given any kind of reason to like these characters but if that changes over the following fives episodes of this six episode show / firs season then i'll gladly give the show the credit that it well and truly deserves but so far this episode didn't really impress writing wise also because of the fact that the characters seem to be pretty freaking generic as all heck which makes sense for Yasuke because he was an actual person but it doesn't make sense for any of the shows possibly made up / fictional characters tho.

Now then boys and girls this particular episode is thirty minuets and twenty eight seconds long which I personally felt was the right amount of time. Simply because this episode was the first episode of an anime show and as such to expect the story in this episode to be fully told would be pretty daft / pretty freaking stupid since an anime can take several episodes to tell one single story and / but I will admit that this episode really did fly by in certain places but the particular episode also felt alot slower in other parts / places of this particular episode as well. 

Now then boys and girls this anime is an action anime and there is some action to be found in this episode and that means / which means that I have to talk about the actual action that's featured / presented to us in the actual episode itself and in all honesty the action that we get to see in this episode wasn't that bad. Simply because of the fact that the animation in this particular episodes action sequences was so good but the actual action was at best pretty freaking average tho 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. 

Overall this episode was a pretty decent episode and I do hope that this show finds a fanbase and that this show gets better as it continues on through the remaining five episodes. Now then boys and girls since i've talked about both of the good and as well both of the bad things that are in this episode in this review I will not be giving my overall rating for this series simply because this isn't a review but as the title suggests is rather just my first impressions of the show as a whole.

As for where I got the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls I got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Yasuke fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my preferred website to use from images from this show (because yes I couldn't find that many pictures from just this first episode nor could I personally find a cast list for just this first episode either) being Google Images since there are alot of images from this show that are now up and on Google Images. 

 

Justice Society: World War II SPOILERS FILLED!!!!!!!!!! Review

DC Comics fans DC Comics is known for putting out really good direct to DVD  animated movies and well since we have a tradition going on here you just know that I was going to be checking out this movie the first chance that I had / got. I will fully admit that I straight up forgot all about this film even existing let alone when this film was even coming out as such it was a shock for me to see that this film had just been released on digital platforms and so join me as I review the 2021 direct to DVD DC Comics animated film that is honestly pretty freaking cool with the film itself being called simply "Justice Society: World War II" enjoy.

The plot of this film is The Flash (Barry Allen) finds himself stuck right slap bang in the middle of World War 2 and with the help of the Justice Society of America must find his way back to his own time but not before The Flash (Barry Allen) joins the Justice Society of America in possibly tipping the balance of the war forever.  In terms of what I thought about the plot of this film / movie in all honesty the plot of this film / movie was really freaking good and if i'm being honest I had no idea where the plot of this film was even going which for me at least is always a very good thing indeed.

Starring in this film is Stana Katic as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman , Matt Bomer as Barry Allen / The Flash and Elysia Rotaru as Dinah Lance / Black Canary. Also starring in this film is Chris Diamantopoulos as Steve Trevor ,  Omid Abtahi as Hawkman , Matthew Mercer as Hourman , Armen Taylor as Jay Garrick / The Flash , Liam McIntyre as Arthur Curry / Aquaman , Geoffrey Arend as Charles Halsted, and as An Advisor , Ashleigh LaThrop as Iris West , Keith Ferguson as Doctor Fate , Darin De Paul as Franklin D. Roosevelt and ????????? as Shakespeare / ??????? / ???????.

In terms of what I personally thought about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this film in all honesty the acting that's featured / presented to us in this film is really freaking good. All of the actors that are starring in this film really do deliver some really good performances altho I have to say that for unknown reason Stana Katic seems to be doing an impression of Gal Gadot which is something that I personally fund to be very distracting despite the fact that actress Stana Katic does turn in a really good performance as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman.

Doing the animation for this film is Digital eMation who have done alot on Warner Bros direct to DVD animated movies. I have to say that I honestly and personally really did like the animation that's featured / presented to us in this very film since the animation that's featured / presented to us in this film was really fluid and the backgrounds were really stunning and as such you could tell that the animators who were working on this film really did have a blast / a good time working on this film because it really does show in this film.

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

There was one thing that I wasn't expecting to see in this film and it's that one thing plus something else that made me turn this film review into a spoiler filled review. Since we see a picture of the The Ark Of The Covenant which i'm going to be honest made me laugh because that whole sequence just reminded me alot of Raiders Of The Lost Ark and have no idea why since the two movies couldn't be any more different even if they tried.

Now you guys may / might have noticed that I left one actors name of the list of credited actors and that's because even tho this person being in this movie wouldn't be a spoiler what would be a spoiler is who they are playing because reprising his role as Clark Kent / Kal-El / Superman from the animated direct to DVD film we have Darren Criss. This honestly makes me believe that DC Comics has secretly started a new direct to DVD animated movie universe simply because DC Comics very rarely have the same actor play the same character in multiple animated protects and the last time that they did was with the DC Animated Movie Universe and so this leads me to believe that we are perhaps seeing the beginnings of a new direct to DVD animated movie universe from DC Comics but who knows I could be wrong tho.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now then boys and girls even tho i've been fairly positive about the film thus / so far there is one thing that I didn't like about the film and that's the fact that this version of Wonder Woman not only feels like but is also written like the version of Wonder Woman that we say in the 2017 live action Wonder Woman. Which I guess makes sense that particular version of the character was popular and to main stream audiences that particular version of Wonder Woman is the only version of the character that has ever and will ever exist however it also means that this particular version Wonder Woman cannot be her own character which in my opinion at least makes this particular version of Wonder Woman not only forgettable but also badly written since the makers of this film are just copying and pasting what the makers of the 2017 live action Wonder Woman did for there particular version of Diana Prince / Wonder Woman.

Now then boys and girls this film has a total running time of exactly one hour and twenty four minuets and sixteen seconds and which if i'm being honest that running time suits this film perfectly. Since there really isn't enough plot to cover anything even close to two hours but there is more then enough plot to cover almost one hour and thirty minuets and it really does help that this film really does fly by 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 then boys and girls this film is an action film after all and that does mean that there is alot of action to be found in this film and so that means that I have to talk about the action that's in the actual film itself and if i'm being really freaking honest here. the action that's seen / featured / presented to us in this film is so freaking good and this is where I personally feel that the animators who worked on animating this film had a lot of fun simply because you get to see all of the Justice Society Of America members do a lot of really cool stuff and plus the animation gets alot better and alot more fluid in the action scenes that are in this film and plus is does help that the action that is seen / featured / presented to us in this film is just so freaking cool with like I said the Justice Society Of America members doing lots of really cool things which is something that you really want to happen in any action scene but that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest and as well as being in my vert personal opinion anyways.

Overall this is a movie that I personally cannot recommend enough because it really is in my opinion at least simply such a good movie to watch and to enjoy. Now then boys and girls since i've talked about both f the good and as well as booth of the bad things that are in this movie in this very review this movie / film gets a 7.5 out of 10 from me personally , as for where I got the images that I used in this review. Well then boys and girls I got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official DC Movies fandom wiki page , the official Indiana Jones fandom wiki page , Google Images and the official DC Extended Universe fandom wiki page. With my personal preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because it's the only website that actually has images from this film.
