Uszanowanko. First of all, I'll say that I'm quite a big fan of the Shaman King brand. I thought I had to mention it during my review of Dragon Age Veilguard and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Yea, so much so that if I had the option to play Shaman King Master Of Spirits for the rest of my life, or watch one episode of Netflix's Castlevania, I'd choose the former. I've watched it twice, and I've also played the games (Master of Spirits and Spirit of Shaman are the best), I even thought of starting to collect some random merch like cards, games, or a ... Jun's used, hand-sewn dress and slippers..... Don't look a horse in the mouth and I like Jun a lot....TOO MUCH. But I can't help it that these are the times we live in. Luckily, pandas prefer bamboo. Anyway, I also had in mind that the anime differs from the manga in some places. For me, this was rather....... indifferent information. From the summaries, I knew that the manga has its differences, additional chapters and all, but nothing more. +some things like Faust's dog 8, or the ghost of one of the girls
Hana-Gumi were purely cosmetic changes for me. Until finally the anime came out... and it started

The animation from the Bridge studio (literally translated as bridge) is top-notch. The characters cast shadows, the lights... THEY ARE, and the glow of some ghosts was replaced with background effects, which is not a bad idea... BUT! Personally, I have the impression that the anime is too orange, red. Generally, it casts such strange, unambiguous colors. The version from the Xebec studio did not have this problem, because apart from the fact that each character was expressive, had their own style of clothing and was literally and figuratively colorful, it was able to distinguish the character on the screen. Whenever I watched this version, I had the impression that anyone who is not the main core of the plot is dirt on the tape. And this is only because Amidamaru now has some form of fire. I don't have much to say about the animation, and it's beyond me anyway. When it's good, it's good, and when it's bad, it's bad. Na chuj pursue the topic

Now the plot......Just a curiosity. When I was 13-15, I thought that an anime, to be well-written, should have at least 48-55 episodes. I took it from the fact that every battle shonen I liked back then was a literal tape measure. When I heard that Shaman king 2021 would have 55 episodes, a red light went off. I had a lot of unanswered questions.

How do they want to add a peaceful life for the characters?

How will they add Kenji Gussy?

What will the fights look like?

How will they address side topics?
Well, the answers to those questions are: 1) They don't want to. 2) They'll leave this thread alone. 3) Mediocre. 4) They won't touch it.
You know what? Maybe I really had too high expectations. Maybe I really was blinded by nostalgia. And maybe what I watched is closer to the manga. BUT FOR SOMETHING THAT IN THE ORIGINAL LASTED HALF THE ANIME, AND WAS WRITTEN GREATLY, TO BE CONCLUDED IN 13 EPISODES.....makes me literally try not to write this review without writing f--k every other word and so that it doesn't immediately end up in the latest episode of South Park or Borderlands 4.

Let me put it this way. You know how the Gussey Genji storyline was resolved? It was literally given in one frame. Or do you know how long Wei Payron's fight with Yoh lasts? About 10 minutes. And you know how they showed the fight of Yoh's team with two guitarists, Sharona's team, or the 2nd fight with Ryuunosuke (THE BEST ANIME PUNCHER EVER. Throw at me whoever you want. Josuke, Okuyasu, Mondo, Urameshi, Kurwabara, Knuckle, everyone. Ryuu is the best) The answer is equally simple. They didn't show them because they're not even there XD. Instead of fights, humor, and just plain nice watching the main characters spend time together, also showing what happens if I find a girlfriend and get married too quickly (I'm talking about Yoh's relationship with Anna, who was supposed to be a typical woman in a battle shonen who yells at everyone, but sometimes it looks like sociopathy. No seriously, I know it's documented in the plot, but it's just sick.) Anyway, instead of everything that made the Xebec version so free and original, we have a lot of ghost stories, characters, and all the rest of that bullshit that was supposed to be more faithful to the manga in practice. But the time that was given to this anime made you not have time to think about it much. Since we're talking about the plot, I'll give you something I like the most. *(((*☆☆Comparisons☆☆*)))*
Do you know how long it took in the original for Amidamaru to switch to Yoh's side? At least 2-3 episodes. And do you know how long Wei Pailong's fight lasted (sorry, I've been out of touch with the characters' names for a long time) I think it was also 3 episodes. In the remake, neither of those things last a full episode. I'm not even talking about the fight with Faust. In the Xebec version, between the start of Faust's fight with Yoh and Yoh's attempt to strengthen himself in the cave, it was probably 5-8 episodes. In the remake, they SHOVED IT INTO TWO.
Instead of seeing the bonds between the Shamans, we learn about their unimportant, explained in 5 minutes stories, and instead of checking the whole plot with Laiserg's parents and Iron Maiden (it's a shame the team that carried this coffin wasn't called ED or Melt) it was carried out so quickly that right after that Maya goes looking for some Shinigami (and no, it's not Shiki Fuujin or Ryuk) and a team of religious figures have a connection to Hao and his spirit. Oh, and I almost forgot. The humor comes down to the super funny Tanuki balls.

Oh, and I almost forgot. The fights. The fights are just fucking boring. The creators were probably aware of this themselves, because they gave a whole episode specifically for the fights that they thought were important, just to cut off Corey and Trey's plot. Or to tell the boring and unnecessary story of Tokageroh that made me look at my favorite character differently for a moment. Luckily, after the fight with Faust, they didn't cut out Ryuu on the motorbike.

podsumowywując: otwórz oczy za siebie spójrz. Weź mnie wstydu oszczędź już

To be honest, at first I was afraid that this unique film was made by Strudio Trigger. But after seeing this scene, Starscream flies with Skywarp, Thundercracker, Animated Waspinator and...Armada Starscream, and EVEN MORE after the scene where all versions of Optimus and Megatron are shown, all fears flew away and went somewhere to f... love! Practically every one scene, whether it is a static image or an animated insert with characters, you can see the love and respect for the brand that is Dia Clo... Transformers. The love and passion with which the animators and directors relate to this universe is visible in almost ... every scene. At worst, they know the source material. Maybe that's the case, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. The best thing about it animation is that everything is so cool, amazin, epic, but also charming in its own way, that you want to watch the same movie over and over again. Just to discover many things you haven't noticed before. And although it's really hard for me to write spoilers here, I simply have to admit that the animators deserve huge applause (or paycheck, hihi^^) for adding tidbits to the film such as Primal's Transmetal turning into Primal's Transmetal 2, G1's Megatron and Optimus turning into their Earth Spark counterparts, and the fact that for the first time since I can't remember when Megatron is a classic G1 Walther P38. And not some tank, cannon, helicopter or some other dragon. And my initial concerns about Studio Trigger ultimately turned out to be unnecessary once I saw the scene which I didn't expect at all. THAT is, the original band from f*ckin Bayverse and Rise Of The Beast! To say that this movie is surprising is to say nothing but what Suddenly, a scene appears that either gives you a dopamine rush or brings tears to your eyes. In my case it was a scene with a combination of TF Prime and Armada characters and 3 Optimuses standing together while the petals of... some pink flowers flutter in the background. Well, the question may arise: but does it have any disadvantages? Well... Personally for me it was possible to let go, most memorable character deaths, and it's a shame that my favorite characters were few (not to say non-existent). But in the end, it's literally a little thing that you can do anything with just look and grab your forehead, because everything else saves this movie! + I should be grateful they didn't add some Bayverse scene XD. And the music of Bumb Of Chicken, it just occurs to you that this is still a children's universe and you should be grateful they didn't put BotBots, Bayverse Skids and Mudflap in there XD.


To sum up: I highly recommend this movie to every fan of Transformers, whether Idw comics, Dreamwave and Regeneration comics, series like Prime, RiD2015, Animated or even live action films. You can do nothing but sigh, cry with joy, lament how wonderful it is, wait for some Multiverse, be more excited about the latest Transformes One. This movie simply evokes too many emotions at once. That's why I think every fan should be happy with it. And that's just to end the movie with Megatron and Optimus shaking hands. Honestly, after the very poor Netflix trilogy, I didn't think that such a small thing could make me happy, but what a surprise ^^!

And I have a little information for all Transformers fans: Look at the sky at the end of the movie, you will see a familiar head with horns. Hihi^^
Ps: Many thanks to Takara Tomy for not making this movie available in my country and causing me to have to watch it from uploads on X or YT. Thanks, it doesn't hurt my ass at all (◕‿◕)

Generally, I don't like to waste time on anything, and since I have few friends and everyone is busy, unfortunately the rule "the worst films become the best comedies" was out of the question. So I decided to watch film at Pawleku. It would be even cool if it weren't for the fact that there was music from UT in the background (undertracs). Because apparently we live in times where good game music is limited only to games played by people with furras in their name, and games such as Final Fantasy, Castlevania and Megaman do not exist. What was still missing was to put ... music from the Nintendo Eshop in the background. But back, the anime is an adaptation of the game of the same name for Ps2 which is some ordinary visual novel like ddlc. Just an ordinary, ordinary wall of text where once every Russian year you have the opportunity to make a decision that has (or does not have) an impact on subsequent history. Also for those who would like to check it on their emulator, I don't recommend it..
I RECOMMEND PHOENIX WRIGHT, TIME HOLLOW AND HOTEL DUSK FOR THAT! THESE ARE BEST VISUAL NOVELS!
(A bit ironic that all these visual novels are on NDS)

Generally speaking, it can be seen that this ova has a lot of things taken from games, including cutscenes with robots in which you can see training camp girls, squids (looking like those from Mario) or the opening and ending, which are terribly artificial, long-winded and take up 5 minutes of this ova. Because of something like this, I'm not surprised that Binetsu and Asayake didn't make it to Megaman and Bass and MmZx. Speaking of robots, this is probably the most boring and drawn-out fight between an inanimate body and a squid. In mecha anime, the action most often takes place in the air or in space to give the robots as much space as possible, but at the same time room to move freely. Here, the fights look as if these girls were afraid of hitting some tree or the remains of a skyscraper of some company that is taxing the employees of Mappy, Wit, ufotable and A1. The animation and the line itself are terrible. Literally if the squid (which looks like that from the first Star Fox) doesn't move and the characters either move their mouths but don't move at the same time (like it's some fucking Family Guy) you know something is wrong. Especially when you consider that the seiyu's work is not in sync with the mouth animation, as if they had drawn it all first and only then recorded the sound. Already the modifications to GryKarcianeDlaDzieci are better synchronized. The heroines themselves show too clearly that they are supposedly androids, by smiling too often, grimacing constantly or being scared, even though their eyebrows don't move at all. I won't even mention their artificial bodies. (and I'm not going to write it here because I won't mention it)

The scene in this pseudo-gym, where the girls seems to be doing pull-ups and moaning so nicely, was nice.
I do not recommend, 10/10

Fun Fact: The original publisher Tenkuu Danzai Skelter+Heaven on Ps2 (Idea Factory) also released the Neptunia series, which is best known for the fact that it incorporates a number into the series on the Sonic-linked one and that one of the installments (probably 7) was credited in Tvgames about Jrpgs. I recommend this movie because it is my favorite on TVgry. Overall, I think I liked Jordan the most out of all the Tvgry. He's bald and studied cultural studies, but that didn't mean he was a bald guy from anime.
Ps: No seriously, Jordan you could unironically skip Kill La Kill on channels provided by Bb fans and a cowboy game for neo-Nazis (Red Dead Redemption). He has already recommended some Saint Seiya, Yu-gi-oh, Beyblade or other Bakugan.

This is the greatest anime on the world! And anyone who says this anime is disgusting simply has bad taste (and probably finished Attack on Titan, Chainsaw Man, Jujutsu Midsen and other bsd sh*t with a 10) and doesn't know what art is! Each character is perfectly described and is not forced in this anime. A good example of this is Kapitan Pancernik, who was blinded by revenge to the rest of the numbers. In addition to the Kapitan Pancernik, there is also Don Patch, who sometimes seems to be a mc with his facial expression. This anime also works well across genres, with Mecha ... appearing in one episode, Mafia Trhiler in another, and Battle-Shonen-Jump-Shueisha anime in yet another (since Shonen is a demographic, the genre also has a different name). Anime also has plenty of references to other Battle-Shonen-Jump-Shueisha anime such as Dragon Ball, Naruto, Yu-Gi-Oh, Ninku, Saint Seiya, Hokuto no Ken, Sakigake Otokojuku, Black Cat or Pyuu to Fuku! Jaguar(I bet 3/4 of zoomer youth who claim to be a fan of this genre don't even know what I'm talking about!). And what particularly impressed me was the fusion mechanics. The main character can connect with any character in the series. This is presented in a funny and interesting way when the characters get into the main character's head and theoretically connect their dna with his dna. My favorite fusions are God of Destruction Zarbios, Bobopatchnosuke and Tenbobo.

To sum up: Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo is great and I recommend it to anyone who has low expectations, can turn off their brain and have fun.
(I didn't finish the whole thing because for some reason only 50 episodes were translated in my country -_-)

The movie is average, but certainly better than the game it was based on(And I say this as a full-fledged fan of the FF and JRPG genres) . Another movie based on a game, something like Tekken Blood Vengence. The fights are typical JRPG. If the figure had been cut in half, it would have stood for another hour.
And although the fights can be spectacular, on the other hand everything else makes no sense. Characters jump from left to right as if I were watching Transformers The Movie 1986. The only difference was that Transformers The Movie 1986 had music to match the situation. In ... Advent Children there is some boring, incongruous music played on a piano. It doesn't help even when you hear a remix like "Thurks", "Jenova", "Those Who Fight" Or "Fanfare". The plot isn't any better either. The creators probably don't know whether (FFVII Spoilers) the characters are alive or dead. But I can't be too harsh on this movie considering it will influence the series quite a bit. After all, if it weren't for this movie, we probably wouldn't have gotten Cloud in Dissidia or Chinese Demake on Nes. After all, there is nothing more creative than Sect on Motorcycles.
To sum up: The movie is okay, I don't recommend it if you haven't played the game, but it's better to watch it in this order:
Crisis Core on Psp --> FFVII Remake/1997 original --> This Movie --> Dirge Of Cerberus On Ps2 --> (Maybe I'll watch Advent Children Complete someday)
Ps: I do not recommend Japanese dubbing. It's not that he's bad, but he just doesn't fit in with a lot of characters like RedXIII or Vincent Valentine. Especially when playing Dissidia or Remake in English. It's actually funny that RedXIII got a special place in the credits even though he said maybe 3 sentences
