Review: SWORD GAI: The Animation
Sword Gai: The Animation is an anime based on a manga (aka Japanese comic) with the same name. The story follows Gai, a young blacksmith student that one day becomes possessed by a sword where an evil entity is living. With that, Gai becomes a target of both a secret society called Shoshidai as well as other individuals that been overtaken by demons. Before I continue with this review and you even thinking about watching this show, let me give you a fair warning. This show is by far one of the most brutal and violent animes I’ve seen. It doesn’t make it easier when the fighting can be rather…

BATMAN NINJA Review
For as long as people can remember, humans have struggled to find answers to several issues. These questions reins from everything to the meaning of life, what comes after death and what would happen if Batman was an anime character. Luckily, we have finally got the answer to one of them. Now, in Batman Ninja, we follow Batman/Bruce Wayne to ancient Japan when an experiment from Gorilla Grodd goes wrong. Now Batman has to stop the villains that came with him during the accident as well as find a way back home. When I first heard about this movie, I first thought it was a joke. Then I saw who…

Review: ULTIMATE AVENGERS
Hi all! Me again. First of all welcome back to our 20 Days of Infinity War series! Second of all, lemme just say watching this movie first instead of Ultimate Avengers II would have really helped my review of it I did here. Not by much, but a little! We begin at the end of World War II, where Captain America saves his men from the Ji’Tari Nazis, but ends up in the ocean, frozen. We go to the present, where Bruce Banner is studying the super soldier program, and Fury is searching the bottom of the ocean, looking for I assume, Captain America. He finds him, they defrost him,…

SUPERMAN: UNBOUND Review
Now we find Superman facing one of his most famous foes. An entity is known as Brainiac. The positive The story is decent, the characters (for the most part) works well in the story they try to tell. The art style of the movie looked like it could be a mix of western and Japanese (anime). A blend that in theory shouldn’t work, but works well here. While the animation was good in general, there are flaws. The best part of the movie is easily the voice acting. Especially Matt Bomer and John Noble. The former does the voice of Superman (while being Henry Cavill’s twin brother by the looks…

SUPERMAN VS. THE ELITE Review
Superman vs The Elite is, like my previous review, based on a previous comic book called What’s so funny about the truth justice & the American way, and just like my previous review, reading it is something I haven’t been able to do. So the review is going to approach it like it’s a movie on its own. In Superman vs The Elite, they cover the question of what true justice is. On the one hand, we have Superman, who believes that criminals should face punishment, but not to the point of death, while we have the rising group of Anti-Heroes called The Elite lead by Manchester Black who thinks…

Legacy of the Superman Part 3: Animation
Superman is the first superhero ever created. He’s the reason DC Comics are where they are today. Being the world’s biggest hero, Superman has appeared in numerous animated adventures. Today, we’re going to look at a brief history at the Man of Tomorrow’s life in animation. We’ll start by going to his first debut on television. Before his movies and live-action series, Superman starred in a few animated shorts in 1941. These 10 minutes episodes were created by Dave and Max Fleischer, creators of Popeye and Betty Boop. This series still holds up remarkably well and can be enjoyed by almost anyone. It stays true to the character, showing him…

SUPERMAN: DOOMSDAY Review
Before I start off this review, I just want to clarify something. I’ve never been giving the chance to read Death of Superman, which the movie is supposedly based upon. So I’m going to approach this as a movie on its own and not how it stands as an adaptation. I tried to find some means to read it before I watched it, but with how iconic this comic is, I think you know why I was unable to. With that said, let’s get to the review. When LexCorp accidentally releasing a terrible monster named Doomsday, Superman is up against his most powerful foe yet. As I said in the…

YOUNG JUSTICE: OUTSIDERS Finishes Voice Recording
Our favorite teenage heroes are close to return. We haven’t heard much about Young Justice: Outsiders recently, but Khary Payton, voice of Aqualad, confirmed at C2E2 (via Heroic Hollywood) that voice recording of 26 episodes was complete, and that the animation process was in the works. He said about the show – “It is as twisty, and turny, and full of so many characters, I can’t wait for you guys to see it. You’re going to love it.” We don’t have a release date, but it sounds like we could be seeing some previews soon! Young Justice: Outsiders is set to premiere later this year on DC’s yet to be named streaming service. We’ll…

ULTIMATE AVENGERS II: The [Spoiler] Review
Welcome back for another installment of our 7 Days of Black Panther series! Today I will be giving you my insight on Ultimate Avengers II: Rise of the Panther. Now I’ve done some bare minimum research, and what I’ve found isn’t too encouraging, but we can hope for the best here yes? Now! We begin in Wakanda, where T’Challa is being sort of welcomed back to Wakanda. I say sort of, because he doesn’t get quite a great reception. But anyways! Later that night, the king (current Black Panther) encourages T’Challa, that the people’s opinion will change, and the king heads out as the Black Panther, where he runs into…
