Adventure Time (2010)
Cartoon Network's Crown Jewel for good reason.
Adventure Time is responsible for putting a dying Cartoon Network back in a position where it hadn't been in in years. The channel had received massive criticism after it introduced a live action block that tattered it's namesake. It took a massive risk when it picked up a pilot by a man named Pendleton Ward that received viral acclaim after it aired on Nickelodeon.
Airing in 2010, it received critical acclaim, gaining credit for its creativity and nice atmosphere.
However, in four years, Adventure Time has evolved from a silly fantasy to a fantastical coming of age story of out protagonist, Finn.
Adventure Time takes no risk building a massive and surprisingly dark backstory for its world.
Basically, 1000 years before the show takes place, a nuclear war destroyed everything and created the ultimate evil with it. A man named Simon Petrikov had been an antiquarian before the war, and the only thing keeping him alive at this time was a magic crown that enabled him to command ice and snow when it was on. It came with a price, though. Through putting on the crown, he had started a long, but definite loss of his sanity - and his humanity. He had come across a girl named Marceline, and the two journeyed through the wasteland for a refuge.
Finn is one of the only surviving humans. We aren't sure how he's alive, considering that most humans are extinct. (can't talk about some of them because it takes too much explanation) He's currently struggling through some daddy issues and a pubescent relationship struggle. The characters he meets and knows are equally as troubled and complex, and they all share decent story arcs which are interesting to decode and discover.
It's odd that a show that started out so innocent and silly evolved into a nerd's fever dream, (and I mean that in a good way) but it's certainly a marvel.
Check it out for yourself if you haven't already, but make sure you start from Season One.
Hope you liked the review.
Power Rangers Samurai (2011)
Terrible in every sense of the word.
THIS. IS. UTTER. GARBAGE. Oscar GARBAGE. LITERAL CONTENDER FOR THE TV RAZZIES (IF THERE WERE ONE). Let me explain. I really don't like Power Rangers. But I've accidentally stumbled into this piece of garbage, so I will dissect it as well as I can.
- The acting is awful: Good Graybles, the acting is terrible. The actors were probably were taken from the street, given a script, and forced to read them, it's that bad. All of the actors sound like that guy from Birdemic: Shock and Terror. *shiver*.
- The costume design: Seriously, the budget looks like five nickels and a penny, there are costumes. Let that sink in. Old, 1980 cheesy ninja flick style costumes. Awful, huh....
Well, that's all. Hope you enjoyed!!
Keroro gunsô (2004)
A dub for nearly everyone.
You know, I don't really watch anime. Just Plain weird stuff happens in them. I mean, I still love anime, but wow, the things Japanese rating systems get away with... Wow.. But when I do watch anime, I watch Sgt. Frog. Now I've never read the manga, or watched the Japanese version, but I've heard they were awesome. I just watch the dub, and I got to give credit where credit is due. This dub is awesome! Every Pop-Culture reference, every memorable character, even the voice acting, great! I just love watching the dub, and I've seen every episode, and I love it. I got introduced to the aspect of Keroro Gunso by a series of YouTube videos, Little did I know, a year and a half later, I'd find it on Netflix and watch every episode. I love the show, and if you don't I'm fine with it.
My score - 8.5 out of 10. Some flaws, but otherwise, a great introduction to anime.
