POKEMON: THE POWER OF US Trailer Released
Yesterday, The Pokémon Company released a full-length trailer for Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us. The Power of Us is the second movie in the retelling of Ash’s journey as a trainer. As someone who clocked out when it comes to The Pokémon Company’s animated material, I found the trailer harmless. If you are still a fan that follows it, I think this trailer is just for you. But gosh darn is the animation beautiful. What do you think of the trailer? Did you like it? Did you dislike it? Comment below and let us know or tweet at us at @WOBAMEnt.

Crunchyroll and Funimation Part Ways
Crunchyroll and Funimation, two of the biggest anime distributors, are now ending their collaboration that started back in September 2016. The reason for it? Sony Picture Television Network wants Funimation to spread its wings and become more global. Outside of the fact that they will stop sharing content after November 9th, but Funimation will also not be available after that expiration date. If you are worried about losing shows like Attack on Titan and My Hero Academia on your Crunchyroll account, I’m happy to say that you don’t have to worry. According to reports, shows that premiered during the partnership are staying around even after November 9th. Animenewsnetwork has an…

Three Destinies Collide in new DRAGON BALL SUPER: BROLY Trailer
The second trailer to the highly anticipated Dragon Ball Super: Broly has been released. The movie looks like it will be quite dark, with it touching on the origin of the Saiyans. I would even say “insert Superman joke here” when it comes to a specific scene in the trailer. Although, the similarities with Superman is already existing. I’m unsure of which of the two trailers are my favorite. Maybe this one considering how personal and focusing on the story it was in comparison. Dragon Ball Super: Broly is hitting theaters for Japan in December this year while getting a US release in January. If you live outside of the states…

Opinion: The POKEMON Anime Needs a Reboot and Ash Should Retire
No, I don’t think they should stop doing a Pokémon anime or movies for that matter. The series is such a big cash cow that I can’t blame The Pokémon Company for keep on doing this. But Ash is a character that has met his “best before date” years ago. I’ve had this feeling for years, but it got abundantly clear when I watched a movie called Pokémon: Clash of Ages. It’s a movie that starts off fairly strong but loses its focus faster than a speeding bullet as soon as Ash and his friends get into the picture. How are they introduced you might ask? They happen to be…

JUMP FORCE Adds Yugi from YU-GI-OH!
Do you love card games? Do you love fighting games? Do you love anime? If you said yes to all three, then I have some good news for you. Yugi, from the card loving franchise Yu-Gi-Oh!, is joining Jump Force, Shonen Jump’s answer to Super Smash Bros. Our card wielding hero joins the likes of Son Goku from Dragon Ball, Luffy from One Piece, Naruto from Naruto, Ichigo from Bleach, and Gon from Hunter x Hunter. Jump Force is said to be released on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC next year. No word on a Switch version, but considering Dragon Ball Fighter Z came out later on the Nintendo Switch…you get the drill.…

Film Review: Bleach (2018)
Just like how we in the west love to adapt comic books, Japan loves to adapt their mangas. So I guess it was a matter of time that Bleach got the treatment. For those who are unaware, Bleach is a manga that started in 2001, created by Tite Kubo. The story follows the human Ichigo Kurosaki, whose life changes when the soul reaper Rukia visits his home. In the near future I will be covering the Bleach anime for WOBAM, and I’m aiming to start around Halloween for that. With that said, let’s start the movie review. Sweet Christmas. After the fiasco that was the Attack on Titan movies, as…

Review: DRAGON BALL HEROES Episode 3
I don’t know if I should laugh or not considering what I wrote in my episode two review, which you can find HERE. There, I mention how every episode should premiere closer to each other, and after that, Toei Animation waits, about two months, instead of the two weeks that we had last time. I know that you probably won’t read this Toei, but if your main focus is on Dragon Ball Super Broly, why didn’t you wait with this then? It’s quite clear that their main focus is on the movie, considering the animation is for this episode is BAD. Some scenes reminded me of when Berus fought Goku…

Review: VIDEO GIRL AI
Youta, who is the stereotypical loser in the classroom, find his life changed when a video girl from a VHS tape he rents comes to life. Raise your hand if you even knew of this property. I see a few in the back. Anyone else? Hmmmm… I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Anyways. I have had this anime on my radar for quite some time, and I’m glad that I finally was able to watch it. Why? There is a lot to talk about when it comes to this property. At first glance, it might come out as a generic, romantic anime. However, once you look at it closely, you’ll…
