Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation - a more realistic approach at the isekai anime genre

A television series adaptation by Studio Bind from a manga adaptation by Yuka Fujikawa in June 2014 issue of Monthly Comic Flapper. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the tankōbon volumes of the manga for localization in North America. The series is about a jobless and hopeless man who dies after having a sad and withdrawn life and reincarnates in a fantasy world while keeping his memories, determined to enjoy his new life without regrets.

According to many light novel readers, Mushoku Tensei is the grandfather of modern day isekai. Pretty much a benchmark on how isekai anime should be as It popularized a lot of the themes we see in isekai including the idea of "Truck-kun." Whether its true or not really depends on how you view it. In any case lets just dive into the review for now. Oh and spoiler warning too.

Spy x Family (Season 1) - Mr and Mrs Smith anime with the charm of a spy comedy

 An anime series produced by Wit Studio and CloverWorks. Spy x family is directed by Kazuhiro Furuhashi, with character designs handled by Kazuaki Shimada. The show is based on a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tatsuya Endo. The story follows a spy who has to "build a family" to execute a mission, not realizing that the girl he adopts as his daughter is a telepath, and the woman he agrees to be in a marriage with is a skilled assassin. 

I’ve already read roughly two chapters of the manga before even watching a single episode of the anime so I sort of had an idea what to expect diving into Spy x Family. That being said I was still skeptical how they will turn into the anime it is now.  Also minor spoilers.

Spider-Man: No Way Home - A love letter to Sony live action Spider fans

Spider-man No Way Home was directed by Jon Watts and written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. It stars Tom Holland as Peter Parker / Spider-Man. It also stars Zendaya, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jacob Batalon, Jon Favreau, Jamie Foxx, Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina, Benedict Wong, Tony Revolori, Marisa Tomei, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire. It is based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man, co-produced by Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. It is the sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), and the 27th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). 

Having watched most of the live action and animated Spider-man films I feel it be a waste not to do a review of the latest installment to the spidey franchise. This will hopefully be a more detailed review than the one I did on my FB Page. With that cleared lets get on with the review.

Kamen Rider Black Sun (2022) vs Mask Rider Black (1987) Comparison

 Since Im finally done reviewing Kamen Rider Black Sun I guess Ill go do a comparison of the two of which one is better for me. This kind of comparison has probably done lots of time before but I still wanted to do my own take on it. Don’t get upset when on what you read since this is more of a personal preference comparison if anything. For this comparison I won’t bring up Kamen Rider Black RX since the Black Sun series is more based on Rider Black.

This is my first time doing this so do forgive me if I do it half hazardly. For this one the comparison for the series will be based mostly on STORY, CHARACTERS, SPECIAL EFFECTS, COSTUME, CINEMATOGRAPHY and MUSIC.

Kamen Rider Black Sun (2022) - Something old combined with something new

Co-production between Ishimori Productions and Toei,  Kamen Rider Black Sun is a Japanese tokusatsu web drama and a reimagining of the 1987 series Kamen Rider Black. The series is part of the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the Kamen Rider Series, also celebrating the 35th anniversary of Kamen Rider Black. It stars Nishijima Hidetoshi as Minami Kotaro / Kamen Rider Black Sun and  Nakamura Tomoya as Akizuki Nobuhiko / Kamen Rider Shadow Moon, with Hirasawa Kokoro as Izumi Aoi.

I’m not a hardcore kamen Rider fan but I do have some memories of the 1987 kamen Rider Black back when it was aired locally back then. It is one of the first kamen Rider experience I had growing up as well so it holds a lot of fond memories for me. That said, I will try not let nostalgia sway me from reviewing this one. Also minor spoilers flag for this one just in case.

The Mandalorian is a spin off mini series aired on Disney+. Its Disneys latest shot at a live action tv show set on the star wars universe.

My 10 Most Anticipated Movies of 2021

Was really planning to do this kind of Top 10 at the start of the year but was kept being held back. Better now than much later I guess so anyways this will be My Top 10 Most Anticipated movie of 2021. This is a hard list to put as there are a lot of good movies coming out this year.

I also like to remind folks once again that this is a personally list of mine so don't pull a string when your anticipated movies don't make it here. Everyone has their own favorites and films they are most excited to see coming out this 2021. So anyways lets all just dive into it.

Geekatana Review - WW84 (Wonder Woman 1984) - The Hunt for a Stone in 1984

Wonder Woman 84 or often called WW84 is a superhero film based on the DC Comics character Wonder Woman. It is the sequel to 2017's Wonder Woman and the ninth installment in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). The film is directed by Patty Jenkins from a script she wrote with Geoff Johns and Dave Callaham, based on a story by Johns and Jenkins. It stars  Gal Gadot as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman, alongside Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal, Robin Wright, and Connie Nielsen.

 

As the title suggest tells adventures of Wonder Woman back in the year 1984. Although the trailers felt a bit lacking for me it i still one of the DC films I was excited to see specially after how exceptionally well the first Wonder Woman movie was. The first movie has issues but it was still great and I was in high hopes on what the next Wonder Woman film would bring to the table. As usual there will be minor spoilers for this review cause theres quite a bit to talk about.

 

Geekatana Review - Jingle All the Way (1996) - Get to da Toyyah!!!

Jingle All the Way is a Christmas comedy film for the family that was released back in 1996. Being a big Arnold fan that I am back then I rushed and watched this in theaters along. It was directed by Brian Levant and is written by Randy Kornfield. The film was released under 20th Century Fox.

 

It's one of those feel good film for me where you can just watch a movie on christmas eve and have a good laugh, be entertained and have fun. Its a comedy family film set on christmas eve with Arnold Schwarzenegger and for a kid like me back then that is more than enough for me.

Top 10 Underrated Anime Girls

A Top Ten Female Anime list has been done more often than I can count so I've decided to do one myself but instead of using well known series I've decided to do one from underrated and less known anime. Some may argue on what anime is truly underrated and a lot of folks have different opinions on what is underrated for them so I'm sure a lot of anime characters won't make this list. So for that I apologize in advance.

 

I originally wanted to post this months ago but I can't seem to find the right timing to do one and stuff keep pilling up one after the other that it was kept being held back. In any case better now than never I guess. That being said I'd like to hear what you think also. In any case let us get on with the Top 10 Underrated Anime Girls.
