yakuza 0 Review

Yakuza 0 (Zero) is another great entry in the series, and may just be my favorite so far besides Six. Like previous Yakuza titles, it features memorable characters, strong writing, funny side stories, and fun mini-games. The addition of 4 fight styles for each of our playable characters Kiryu and Majima improves the gameplay from previous entries. Simply put, fights have never been better in the series. Also, the soundtrack is once again fantastic and enhances the experience in its own way. 

Ten out of Ten.

The Boys Review

Never meet your heroes...

Short Summary:  Eric Kripke and Evan Goldberg's superhero series, based on the comic book of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson focuses on a group of vigilantes that include Billy Butcher (Karl Urban), Hughie (Jack Quaid), Mother’s Milk (Laz Alonso), Female (Karen Fukuhara), and Frenchie (Tomer Capon).  Imagine: what would happen if there were people with cool superpowers, superhero organizations, competitions, and tests to become a superstar of justice, yes like the avengers but not really the avengers and above all, not like the marvel universe but our world, full of corruption, wickedness, careerism, sadism, cynicism, and money and power in the wrong hands, this is the beginning, do you think discounted it?  I don't want to spoil it, but remember what I said: it's our world.  Do yourself a favor and go see it.

How NOT to summon a demon lord review

An elite but socially-stunted gamer finds himself in another world, inhabiting the body of his character Diablo. Despite his powers, his awkwardness keeps getting in the way, so he decides to pretend to be a Demon Lord and soon finds himself with a pair of slaves: a well-endowed elf and a catgirl. Together, they struggle with everything from interpersonal relationships to diabolical beast battles.  This show like slime is nothing else like any other isekai but it throws it in its own direction.  There's fanservice, action, humor, and a story-like any other fantasy story.  The dub makes it really special.  I recommend seeing it too.

That time I got reincarnated as a slime review

For my first anime review, I chose an anime that everyone wasn't really expecting to be an instant hit..." that time I got reincarnated as a slime" or "Tensura/Tensei" for short.

Stranger Things Season Three Review

"One summer can change everything"

Short summary:  What could happen in the summer of 1985 in Hawkins, Indiana?

My Thoughts:  This season starts very low on its first two episodes. The characters feel disassociated, and very disconnected, and there’s really no mystery or nothing interesting to see than the gang being jerks with each other. But after episodes 3 and 4 the season starts building that so called tension we all expected. There were still many plot fails and the season overall wasn’t good enough to beat the first one, but overall & all, despite its awful start and its multiple errors, this season holds up to the hype it built, and for a good part, it was a step into the right direction after season 2, which could not give the series the sequel it deserved. Not saying this season is what season 2 should have been, but I can say it’s not as overwhelming as its predecessor.

This season was a rollercoaster, though.  It was pretty *Spoiler Alert* sad when hopper vanshied from scene, i hope he's not dead.  And not to mention will moving out of Hawkins and the boys growing up, also of course Steve's charater developement. 

Overall i have to give this one a four out of five stars.

Stranger Things Season Two Review

 

Short Summary: A year later after the events of season one, and the town of Hawkins, Indiana is still shaken from the events of last year, but a larger danger looms ahead.

My Thoughts:  It's betteer than season one. The rhythm of narration is very good, in a escalate until the episode 7 that is the least favorable of the entire season, driving away from the tendtion of the plot to focus on the sidelines,  Although it is necessary to create the hook of the 3rd season. The characters have been well developed and the plot is pretty cool. A lot of cool easter eggs as well.

Overall: four & a half out of five. 

Stranger Things Season One Review

Quick summary:  When Will Byers suddenly goes missing, the whole town of Hawkins, Indiana, turns upside down.  Many people are on the search for Will, including his mother, Joyce; his brother, Jonathan; his friends--Mike, Dustin, and Lucas; the police chief, Jim Hopper; and other notable people.  But one thing leads to another, creating a supernatural trail. And things get even weirder when a little girl with a shaved head comes into the story.

Review:  One word to describe the whole season:  PERFECT.  A stunning show, I'm lucky I didn't know about till it got released. If you like the twilight zone with a little more sci-fi this show is for you. The casting is perfect, even the child actors are perfectly in what I think is the first time in TV history. They are very realistic, don't act like geniuses, and are just kids. Also, a good part is that every actor is an unknown, for the most part, I haven't seen any of these people in any other show or movie which makes it feel very authentic.  The story is original and very well made, it is scientific, funny, exciting, and gives you a rush at times. Watch it now.  I binged watched the whole 8 episodes because I couldn't wait to see what happens at the end.

Overall: five out of five.

Doom Patrol Review

• What is "Doom Patrol"?

Doom Patrol is a superhero team similar to the teen titans, appearing from DC.  Doom Patrol first appeared in "My Greatest Adventure" issue number 80 in June of 1963 and was created by Arnold Drake and Bob Haney.  Now they have a T.V show from DC's streaming service: DC Universe with the same name.

• A Quick Summary of "Doom Patrol":

It starts off with Cyborg Played by Joivan Wade, whom comes to Dr. Niles Caulder or "The Chief " played by Timothy Dalton and his band of superheroes: Cliff Steele or Robotman played by the great Brendan Fraser, Larry Trainor or Negative Man played by Matt Bomer, Rita Farr or Elastic-Woman played by April Bowlby and Crazy Jane played by Diane Guerrero, with a mission that will change their lives forever.

• My Opinion on the Show:

What i can say is that:  "Doom Patrol" is absolutely incredible. I would say that it's DC's verison of Marvel's Daredevil on Netflix, but even then that might not be doing justice to how amazing this show really is. It starts strong, slows down a bit through the middle, then ends on a truly epic note over the last few episodes. To put it simply, this is my new favorite show and I am eagerly waiting for season two. The actors whom portrayed these charaters deserve awards for their performances, they put in alot of  efford in it. It alone makes DC Universe worth the monthly fee.

In conclusion, if you haven't seen the show yet you are missing out on a lot of things.

Overall: Five out of Five.
