Digimon Adventure Tri Episode 1 Review

Best Digimon Tri Episode 1 review Click Here This takes me back,  the progression could lead to the  best series so far animation is on point .

Digimon Series Evolution
My favourite digimon series was tamers I loved the maturity and emotional issues like depression and parent relationships so I was very happy when tri seemed way more mature being directed at us then 90's kids and now adults.
New Digidestined?
Just before we saw our mystery digimon we saw a bunch of digivices one the ground that were clearly second generation is this a future vision or already defeated digi destined cause the second series cranked them out. At the end credits we practically get confirmation of new digidestined which is  good as davis is basically tai so introducing separate characters makes sense.

 Digimon Tri Vs Pokemon
This is so far past pokemon now at least digimon grows with the audience at or that's what I thought until it was like who's that Digimon?
And I was Like It's beelzemon 


Don't judge My Digicism
They look alike and not just because they are both black or both look black it's because all black digimon are the same and I miss beelzemon and so any black digimon gives me hope.
How I Heard things
In the beginning there was nothing but white space and then the digigod appeared. Oh come on if that's how you start a show how else would you want me to think, you could of had a black space but no. Look up, does space  look white black to you?
Kairi Fan Service
 With maturity comes older jokes which were funny and not over the top the bit where the soccer team gets a second wind made me chuckle.


Again With the mind games Who's that Digidestined? 


At first I didn't know I mean I suspected matt but he doesn’t even look the same race blonde hair blue eyes we all knew as kids he was, you know. In all seriousness I watched the first series as a kid before internet and subs so when Tai called him Yamato I didn’t quite clock at first he meant Yamato plus as I said before you know he's.
 Lets Move On
Tai being late on his career choice is an obvious set up for the fact Tai wants to be a Digimon master and he won't  stop till he enslaves them all they even mentioned the kanto region on the news the place where all never ending journeys begin. Tai let us all know where he wants to go.
A whole new Digiworld
This invading digimon is clearly unstable and maybe that's because of the shape of the digiworld or trying to get into the real world, either way we are off to a good start. A digiworld that has changed is good for new scenery maintaining adventure of the unknown with the nostalgia of old friends.  At that was the theme originally saving the digital world

This is the first review and there will be more lets discover together if  Tai  will ever become a digimon master?

God Eater episode One Review

Read funniest and most entertaining God Eater Episode 1 Review Here
Animation style was something I was not expecting I was expecting something more like what I had seen from the game opening. The style made the characters faces look like they were made of plastic and the use of CGI was subtle to say the  least.

God Eater Episode 1 A Step To Far
 However I liked it some moments were seriously attention to detail and the CGI brought out more feelings  of realness combined with sounds focused on foot steps, the whole point was to have a bigger impact. To be sensible the foot steps were over used  and should be saved for action but in the spirit of puns. This is an anime that puts its foot down others need to step there game up OK I'll stop, for now but this is gonna be a recurring  theme for the rest of this review you keep reading and it's on you.

God  Eater 2 Unique
Everything was original from the danger room to the whole new type main character, being a new type makes him a step a a head  what you thought I would wait to drop the next pun I warned you. Lenka is the type who lost everything because of aragami and seems more social than your average I am the prince of all sayains/ I am going to kill a certain someone avenger  but that is understandable as the examples are antagonist and our boy lenka is a protagonist, that's why he handles his loved ones being six feet under like a champ see what I did there. Speaking of which you should check out my seraph of the end theories here it was only 12 episode but will continue and is dope.

God Eater 2 Cool To Die Cast
The cast is cool in a stereotypical way lindow's all like I drink and smoke and move slowly while being a bad ass and theme music starts when I arrive did I illustrate cool enough? Cool yes ground breaking no.

 Lenka:But being this cool has  kept me alive this long and after all

Foot Note
So in summary graphics on character design was not to my taste but in the design of the scenery was almost spectacular. No character stood out to me but I liked the first episode and hope the next will follow in its footsteps ok that's the last one.

Latest Seraph Of The End Predictions

As someone who has never read the manga or light novel my predictions are pretty improvised  this is from my viewing the anime up to the latest now episode 4 however this page will be updated or another page will be added as the series progresses.


True Vampires Fight Alone
Sounds very Vegeta I  know but here are some points
As seen in episode 4 Mika was accused of wanting credit which seems to be a very prominent thing in the vampire culture which seems very class controlled and because of this vampires tend to fight alone for status and pride which is why the emphasis and advantage of teamwork is so important to team human.Cough Cough Yu its not just you

How To Tell who the strongets Seraph Vampire Is
As we saw from Queen Krul a 3rd progenitor vs Ferid 7th progenitor vampires strength is determined by numbers one being the most powerful the purer the blood the stronger the vampire. Maybe ferid who want the queens power wants to taste her blood like mika did maybe that would power him up.

Mika Has Elf Ears
It seems weird I wold say this but so far all vampires have elf ears but does that apply to those who are turned by having his ears hidden he looks pretty much human which will leave Yu believing he is still human momentarily when they end up reuniting.

The Trick To Mika's  sword
Mika's sword draws strength from his blood that's why the sword has thorns to prick at his wrist.

Why Turn Mika Into a vampire
Vampires always turn someone of the opposite sex it always like that with vampire based shows so any other vampires the queen may have turned as mika is not the first is also male and we may see more and if so that may be why queen krul tepes was interested in him because he did not want power unlike ferid (vampire with white hair that gets ass kicked) she probably learned from past experience the consequences of giving power to those who want it

Batman Vs Robin Movie review


Before  going into this I knew that fans of the comic would potentially be upset and in some ways I am too but that does not take away from some thoroughly enjoyable moments.

Damien was over powered and batman underpowered and for a superhero with no powers that's saying something.

Batman was far from the Worlds greatest detective
Suspecting that Damien had taken a life because of the baterang that had absolutely no blood on it. And again not realising when he was kidnapped that they must have known about his plans for Gotham somehow and he only showed one person who happens to  be rich enough to be an owl.

No Contingency Plan
As we know batman is not the most powerful but he is always prepared and that's how he wins against god like villains but batman vs robin  had a badly prepared batman get his ass handed to him they took away his greatest power.

Batmans Motivation
One thing I did not like was the exploration of batmans parents being murdered by organized crime and not just some random act it the idea that being a victim of crime could happen to anyone even the powerful Wayne's gave batman the will to protect anyone innocent. An organized hit on people for an action good or bad takes away the random victimization as in you can avoid being shot in the night if you join the court opposed to you are  be shot because the man with the gun says so.

Damien was just too powerful beating night wing and fighting batman as a near equal and this again took away from the batman in order to give more to Damien. From what I gather based  on  the end of the film DC are trying to introduce Damien to more of the audience badly.

Looking at the film from the perspective of ignorance towards accurate character  and comic adaptation batman vs robin is good film the animation is pretty descent and the fight scenes are great to watch also some moments of comedy. I think DC are just trying to increase Damien Wayne’s popularity for future ventures badly.

Transformers Robots In Disguise 2015 Episode 1

Episode 1 introduces us to life on Cybertron at least for the first few minutes which was is something i would have liked to last longer. Seeing the daily goings on on Cybertron would have been interesting but it's the first episode so they may revisit I hope.


The first episode pilot part one was released on February 21
All Transformers Robots In Disguise 2015 Episodes And Release Dates

Robots In Disguise teaches Important values
Series is aimed at recruiting new younger fans for the series so makes sense to focus on Earth and have an earthling boy as a main character and bumble bee being such a big part of the films is the character that younger viewers are most likely familiar with. The bit where Sideswipe a stranger tells the boy Russell to get inside of him teaches kids important life lessons.

Transformers 2015 Character Appearances

So far episode one is very engaging because of the visuals which combined with very good camera angles makes the show look very interesting. I thought about laughing a couple of times but I wasn't gonna force it Robots in disguise episode 1 was nearly funny but not quite.


Transformers Robots In Disguise 2015 Episode 1 Summary

Robots In disguise 2015 plot: Episode 1 starts with Bumble Bee working as a cop on cybertron until he receives a message from the dead Optimus prime prompting him to travel to Earth.

Absolute Duo Episode 1 Review


Absolute Duo Episode 1 Review is it worth watching?

Episode 1 Absolute duo starts Straight to the action with a script that sets up so much potential

Warnings
Like with alot of anime I fear absolute duo turning into harem a lot of the obvious signs are there but if it's balanced enough I can tolerate it.

I have not read the manga or absolute duo light novels but this review will have spoilers from episode and speculation.

Image from absolute zero episode one showing luciful injection
Characters received powers because of being injected with luciful taken from the former angels name I assume and made me wonder if blaze was some how connected to demonic power which it looks like has corrupted the protagonist from opening.


Tooru using a special punch in absolute Duo Episode 1

In the second battle we see the protagonist  Tooru protects his opponent the person physically closest to him he even  uses an attack that  he holds back even at his own expense which shows that somewhere in his soul is a desire to protect others at high cost and explains why his soul manifested a shield and not sword unlike everyone else. They were forced to fight based on survival of the fittest  a concept in which the strong survive but the Tooru protects weaker and i think maybe this concept affects the manifestation of absolute Duo.
They were literally forced to fight the person closest to them.
The first battle shows he will fight partner again, this time Julie who seems to like and trust  him quite a lot so her motivation for turning on him and being at the academy must be quite strong and probably the same.

To skilled To Young
Who prepared her? How was she trained or is she a prodigy at least in terms of physical ability because she's skilled too skilled. She is interestingly  light-hearted, characters like her are usually militant or aggressive due to the harsh training they endured at  young ages however Julie is very calm maybe  a little emotionless from trauma.
She saw Tor protect the other girl is that what she liked or is it his name and some prophecy form her village of assassins I bet.
By absolute duo I think the script really plays on the sword and shield concept not just the partnership but the concept of balance. Typical Japanese perversion is embarrassing to watch  it's the type of thing that makes me hold my face in my hands while watching.

IS Absolute Duo good?
Well based on the first episode animation is good and if other Duo episodes look like this I'd bee satisfied.
What I like about absolute Duo Episode one is it sets up a lot and leaves me with a lot of questions but I tend to think a lot and question a lot anyway but it's worth another episode to me.

Shining Resonance Review

Kingdom hearts two first introduced me to the concept of music being a weapon in RPG game and since then I have thought in th back of my mind about exploring  a an RPG game that used music as a weapon but I wasn't really seeking it. The music I'm talking about is summoning stich and having him play the guitar.


Shining resonance is a game that I hoped would be a RPG guitar hero I could enjoy with friends unfortunately it's only one player.
The game like most anime with  one main male character and many female characters can often become more about who the guy picks and distract from story but is obviously a big selling point with a Japanese audience.
Despite my criticism the game has a great sound track and is a lot of fun.

The Adventures Of Puss In Boots Episode 1 review


With the rise of the latest CGI series,TMNT,Sonic boom and the other dream works bug hitter dragon riders set in-between how to train your dragons end and how to train you dragon 2 I was nearly very disappointed when I saw the animated entrance and thought no CGI. I was about turn it off luckily I watched a bit further.

Being the first episode I have yet to discover a great bad guy for the show so I can be thinking about what they are plotting while puss is on his adventure. I suppose the entrance gave me some clues that maybe the cat has beef with bandits.

Gave me a few laughs my only problem is that when a series has the name adventures in the title it tends to make each episode about a problem being started and then wrapped up completely to the point I worry a lasting story will not be maintained but i doubt that is what this shows about but if what it does is entertaining enough i will keep watching. I just want to see a great bad guy that gives puss a chance to be a hero that deals with more than forgettable bandits who all look the same(No Racist)

Gundam Breaker 2 Review

Gundam Breaker 2 Full Review

Breaker 2 is truly the gateway game as far as the gundam series is concerned and like most English speaking fans of the gundam and gunpla franchise I really wanted localization.

Only option for the purchase is to buy an import which is not as much of a disaster as it sounds the game has enough English for you to pretty much workout what is what. Breaker 2 was released a week before christmas December 2014 in Asia a for PS3 And Vita. Aimed at Asian market Japanese and Chinese Versions are available. However in the history of PS3 only one game has ever been region locked so like every other PS3 game breaker 2 is region free.




Anyone can Enjoy
As a anime fan I find it hard to involve  friends who are not into anime which is one of the reasons I love this game I remember playing federation vs Zeon  co op on PS2 split screen with only arcade accessible years ago and wishing for a gundam game in which I could complete the actual story mode with friends in  co op. Fortunately this game has come around and the co op story mode is exactly the same as in one player mode.

Does Breaker 2 Have A better Story Than Breaker 2?
Well the easy answer is yes gundam breaker 1 had no real story so getting a story mode in breaker two is a plus even if you don't know Japanese it gives you something to at least follow. If you still want a Gundam breaker 2  English translation there maybe a substitute given the popularity of the breaker series I would not be surprised if it gets translated by a fan. Option two learn Japanese something every animé fan has been swearing they would do. Or option 3 partition now it maybe to late for breaker one and I've seen this fail on a breaker 2 attempt however I believe that this franchise is strong enough that if we start now we can get a big enough partition for English Gundam breaker 3.


Gundam Breaker VS Gundam Breaker 2 VS Full Boost

Well lets basically say everything breaker did breaker 2 does better even more
customization and the controls are sharper the options for mobile suit design is extensive you can build pretty much tothe anything from all of the gundam series. Brand new environments that also interact boost last longer in space and water and the vehicles add so much fun to the game. Melee attacks are much faster and really exciting making  close range combat hard to resist.

A couple missions in you unlock the scratch command and can upgrade parts which I actually prefer to purchasing i like a levelling system it makes me feel as though my MS is growing with me as I get better at the game so does my MS where as the same could be said with a purchase but to a lesser extent.

Even the painting system is much better which brings us to gundam extreme vs full boost.
If you want a straight up battle game extreme vs full boost takes the cake but for the customization breaker 2 gives you so much more. You can build a wing zero, epyon,strike  you name it.


Bandai Builds Better
What I like about bandai is there ability to keep building on previous games  so they tend to get better with each release usually. The dbz budokai's kept getting better so did the tenkaichi's minus ultimate so has naruto, tekken and so have a whole lot of ps1 ps2 ps3, vita DS and soon to be PS4. With western brand games they tend to focus since the PS3 to heavily on graphics sacrificing gameplay because they start the design process from scratch each time.

What i want from Gundam breaker 3
1.
I would like to see more originality for the enemy tactics like in breaker, the breaker 2 cpu tends to resort to swarming in order to increase the difficulty.
 2.
A western release English release.

Gundam breaker 2 is truly worth while for anyone new or old to the gundam franchise whether you understand Japanese or not.
