The myth (movie review)

 This movie with Jacky Chan was kind of strange, some naive things in the film make it more like a cartoon for children than a film for adults. There were some interesting ideas but the realization wasn't good enough.

In the beginning of the film there is a fight scene where Jacky's enemy is pierced by Jacky's sword and they used CGI for it and it's terrible, they also botched up the sword position moments later.

Dance of the drunk mantis (movie review)

 This film was made on the wave of the success of the Drunken Master movie and it's quite good for this kind of a movie, The fights are interesting, the drunken master character's performance is okay, and it's a good addition to the first film. If you can, find and watch "Snake in the eagle's shadow", "Drunken master" and "Dance of the drunk mantis" in this order and you'll enjoy good kung-fu comedy's. The actual sequel to Drunken master with Jacky Chan called "The legend of Drunken master" is not that good.

Here I found some strange thing, perhaps it happened because some scenes were cut out in the final edit.

The white t-shirt on the main character is dirty, then it's clean, then it's dirty and has a hole and bloody wound which was not shown to be inflicted on him. These are all from one continuous fight scene in the film.

BLEACH Memories of nobody mini-review

 This feature film from the Bleach series is not worth your time. As far as animation goes it's not much better than the TV series. Also there are some points which can't be forgiven for a theatrical release, for example in the very beginning there is a park where a fight with a hollow happens and the floor is covered with leaves but they are motionless regardless of stepping and running and breaking the ground during the fight. It's just a static background for the animated characters.

In the TV series we haven't seen Rukia's shikai yet but in Memories of nobody she does it without any explanations as to why she can do it already. The same goes for all death gods being able to walk and sand on air, including Ichigo. Since when and how he acquired this ability is unknown.



The character introduced in this release is Senna. This Senna has a very short skirt but in spite of  laws of physics and common sense we never see her underwear. This absurdity goes as far as here:


In this scene her skirt is like glued to her legs, although in other scenes it flaps normally.


As a conclusion I can say that this BLEACH feature film like many other theatrical releases of animes running on TV channels has nothing to do with the TV show, has no connections, doesn't add anything to the story or characters and introduces throwaway characters who are dismissed as as soon as the ending credits finish rolling. Waste of time.

Naruto's Orochimaru is Katou Taka's student/Naruto mini review

You probably know Naruto anime. And from now on you must know who Katou Taka is. He is a famous porn star who's "golden finger" techniques made women have orgasm easily. As it appears he is Orochimaru's (a major villain in Naruto) teacher as well. Orochimaru uses the golden finger technique in his fight against the old Hokage (the chief of the Hidden leaf village).

Here are the proofs:

Orochimaru uses the golden fingers technique









And here is Katou Taka and his training device which Orochimaru probably used to achieve the excellency level he had during the fight.



The only thing I don't get is what Orochimaru wanted to do with the old Hokage and the golden finger technique????


Now about Naruto anime itself - it's shit. Don't watch it. The characters are stupid, the protagonist has a super power given to him when he was born which makes it not interesting since no hard work involved in his progress, a lot of nonsensical stuff, too much magic which probably makes this anime good for little girls who like to watch shows about magic, such as Harry Potter.

GTO (live action TV series from 2014)

I don't know if the plot of the series related to any source materials or not, but the anime and the predecessor of this show (GTO live action TV series from 2012) feel much more interesting.

In one of the episodes this English letter from the U.S. to a Japanese student seems to be not so much from the U.S. if you read the English in it.

SPIDER-MAN (1996 animated TV series)

This Spider-man version was my standard since it was the first one for me to see anything about Spider-man and his adventures. Later when I was exposed to more of the iconic hero media I only got more reassurance that it was and is the best version up 'till now.

The only parts I didn't like in the series are those about the Goblins (Yellow, Green). I dislike those characters and not interested in any episodes involving them. The roster of the rest villains and allies is big and various, from Doc Oc to Dormammu, from the Black Cat to the Fantastic 4. Of course the CGI is out of place in the cartoon, but it's bearable. It's good that the series told Parker's story from one point of his life to another, progressing in time, unlike many other series which are stuck in with random stories in every episode and the characters never change.

Here is a set of strange things I noticed

I suppose it should be LIFE functions


Muscum? Maybe museum?

I didn't know in America of Marvel comics they use Greek writing. Anyone to confirm it's a meaningful text or just a gibberish?

Wliat is Spiderman! Indeed, WHLIAT??


From now on I cease all communi catons with people and start to have communications!


Here my question is: why upon imprisoning the most powerful criminals in the city the police kept their weaponry and armors nearby and didn't dispose of it or at least put it at some far away and better protected place?? Another question is why Shocker and Rhino were allowed to stay in their suits, but Mysterio and Scorpion weren't? And why not saw off doctor Octopus's tentacles. They are not a part of his body, so there's no harm to him in it.







Here Doc Oc has his tentacles cut off, but next moment they are all fine!



The newspaper text can change, just like Harry Potter's magical newspapers!
"...relief effort" became "...reliff effort" and Dr Mariah Crow's toes arrive in New York? wow! what about the rest of her body? WAit a minute, is she Dr Crow or Dr Crowford? Wait another minute! Is Spider Man a Spider Man or a Spider Main???!



Hey, buddy, did you finish your antigravity rese arch? I thought so! When you're done with it begin to research English spellings!


This guy starts his attack in one outfit, progresses with it in another and finishes the attack with the first one! He must be Flash, I didn't recognize him, thought the Flash was white.




Greek specialists, is it Greek or in New York all newspapers use some variant of English like that?


Oh, my. Spider-man went to Russia and look what he saw there: POLICIЯ! Which is probably POLICE, but at that time there was no POLICE in Russia, there was МИЛИЦИЯ.


No need to call Russian specialists here, I am the one adn I am here already. Telephone in Russian is Телефон, without any accent marks over an O. Why does it say Telephone there, but no number is written anywhere? And why the rest of the card is not in Russian? The name is in English and then something in Greek?? Mother Russia is fucked up in 1996-1997! Well, New York and America were as well...

EXO squad

Hello! This time I'd like to praise the EXO squad animation TV series. It's a very solid and consecutive show which, I believe, deserves a live action iteration. Exo-skeleton suits, mechas, unknown alien threat, artificial sapient human replacements, space pirates and a great war - it got everything!
There are some aspects which contradict with real world physics and science and it those are eliminated or explained then the show would be perfect.

I found some weird geographic mistakes and offer you to have a look at them. Other places on Earth were named correctly, such as New-York, Chicago and so on.


1 - NIAGRA falls instead of NiagAra falls



                                           2 - MANITON island instead of Manitou island

Ranma 1/2 nettouhen

First of all let me tell you that this Ranma series can be entertaining but not for long. Characters never change and they are like frozen in time, sometimes literally (Tatewaki Kuno for example is 17 even after 2 years in the anime and the main characters are also still 16). So, when you start to watch the anime you can discover ins and outs of every character and later on all this ins and outs stay the same rendering the series not interesting. There's no development. At all. And this is only one of other reasons why this anime is not good to watch if you have a critical mind, there are also many inconsistencies in details. If you want to watch Ranma 1/2, then just watch the first season: you've seen one - you've seen them all!

Here is a funny thing: Ukyo is "tending" to Ryoga in the tent, there are her black pants on her.
 The next moment she's peeking out of the tent asking if Ranma is okay, not wearing her pants!
 And then, when she comes out of the tent she's wearing her pants again.


Here is a mystery of Akane's socks' height:

TRIGUN

I liked the anime a lot, definitely watch it if you didn't.

People in the anime use English language yet they write something strange sometimes, maybe some f them are just illiterate? Coffe & Restlant


In this scene a part on the rifle changes.
