My Kingdom Hearts Riku figure and Christmas Town Sora Bring Arts figure (Review) And my new Kingdom Hearts figure plan

So, the other day, I got a Riku figure from the first Kingdom Hearts game that's in the same series as the Kingdom Hearts Sora one I got a couple of weeks ago. And, last night, I got my Christmas Town Sora Bring Arts figure. So, just a little while ago this morning, I did reviews for both of them. Not only that, but I also got a new idea recently about how I'm gonna organise my Kingdom Hearts figures soon. And I decided to put that in this video too. And so, here it is and I hope you all like this.

My Kingdom Hearts 2 Goofy SH Figure (Review)

So, the next of my Kingdom Hearts figures that arrived today was my SH Goofy figure from Kingdom Hearts 2. I know Goofy and Donald look the same in every Kingdom Hearts game, but considering this one is in the same series as Sora in his Kingdom Hearts 2 outfit and King Mickey with his Organization XIII coat, it's pretty obvious that this one and the Donald one with it are both from Kingdom Hearts 2. And, yeah, like I've been saying with the last two entries, since it was my birthday last week, I've been ordering a lot more Kingdom Hearts figures, so expect more videos like this to be coming soon. And so, here's the one for the SH Goofy figure and I hope you all like it and please subscribe to my channel.

My 10 favourite Kingdom Hearts experiences

So, I recently had an idea to talk about my favourite experiences dealing with anything Kingdom Hearts related. This could go to anything I've done before that has to do with Kingdom Hearts in any way at all. And so, I decided to make a video about it on my YouTube channel and I'm really glad with the way it came out. I was thinking of making a post about on this blog first, but then I decided I wanted to make it into a video as fast as possible so I made that first and now I'm gonna show it to all of you. It was a little hard choosing just 10 because, especially the last one, it was going from one thing to another and it was going back and forth. Also, I couldn't do an actual ranking of these so that's why it's not a top 10 list. But I eventually managed to do it and so, here it is and I hope you all like this.

My Kingdom Hearts 3 Sora suit, Kingdom Hearts Sora figure & Kingdom Hearts 3 Toy Box Bring Arts (Review)

So, yesterday was actually my birthday and so, I got a whole lot more Kingdom Hearts figures. Not to mention that I decided to show off my new Kingdom Hearts 3 Sora suit. I got it back in March, but I was finally able to show it in this video with my other new figures. I was also able to get some more back from London because my dad came home for it and brought my stuff back with him. So, I was finally able to get a lot of my stuff from there back I'm really glad I was able to show all this to everyone. And so, here it is and I hope you all like this.

My top 5 manga with the best art

So, one of the best parts about a lot of manga is the art that the artist does for it. A lot of the time, manga art is some of the best art I've ever seen, or at least some of my favourite. A lot of this has to do with being beautifully drawn, well thought out, amazingly detailed and so on. And a lot of that could also be attributed to the fact that they could include great backgrounds or do great with shading or shadows with the pages. And so, let's begin and I hope you all like this.
5. The Seven Deadly Sins:

Starting us off at number 5 is Nakaba Suzuki's Seven Deadly Sins manga. The artwork in this honestly what caught me the most when I first saw it. Like what you'll see with another one here, some of the earlier art came across as a little off in my opinion, but that quickly improved. And what I love the most about the art here is the way Suzuki uses the design of the characters in the different situations in terms of action scenes or anything like that. But the amount of detail he put into the pages which makes the crazy stuff feel even crazier is a lot of fun. Given how the series is pretty over the top with what it does, it has a lot of great art to show it.
4. My Hero Academia:

This is something that stuck with me ever since I started reading My Hero Academia last year and that's that the art in this feels like it's top quality from the very beginning. For most manga and manga artists, the art in them usually gets to top quality some time later and that's when the arts stays like that and is where it's at its best. But for this, while you could say that for this, in my opinion, that's prevalent from the start of this. From volume 1, Kohei Horikoshi's art looks top tier from the beginning. And, like I said in my review of the series last month, I find it really impressive how Horikoshi is able to do this incredible in a short amount of time given how quickly these volumes come out.
3. Yu-Gi-Oh!:

I mentioned this last month for my review for Yu-Gi-Oh, that the amount of detail and structure that Kazuki Takahashi does for the manga is really incredible. His style really seems to make his characters look kinda pointy and angular. But that doesn't get in the way of how much amazing detail and attention he puts into the pages. I mean, yeah, the early work looks kinda weird nowadays, but, like what I said before, that improves considerably as it keeps going. And Takahashi himself even went to Egypt himself for research when he was doing the manga to help get a feeling and idea of what everything should look like and it shows. He definitely put a lot of effort in this and it's really impressive how much detail there is.
2. Death Note:

Coming in close to number 1 is manga that I originally saw as number 1 until recently. But Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata's manga is still something that's a feast for the eyes. Just about everything to do with Obata's art is incredible here. The structure, the deigns, the lighting, the shading, the shadowing, the detail, the shapes and everything combines to make absolutely gorgeous artwork. And this is kinda like what I was saying for Kohei Horikoshi's art, but his art quality is pretty much consistently amazing from the beginning and it continues with so many amazing panels and all sorts of great moments.
And the number 1 manga with the best art is... One-Punch Man:

And finally at number 1 is ONE and Yusuke Murata's One-Punch Man. In all honesty, pretty much everything I said for Death Note applies here. The design of the characters and the different things like shading and different things in the background of the pages help make this manga series so incredible to look at. The reason I put this over Death Note though is because I feel like there's more detail here. Given how absolutely crazy the series is, it's like what I said with The Seven Deadly Sins, it helps that it's aided by phenomenal art. Especially in volume 6 where there's a huge picture that takes up two pages showing a map. I can't even begin to imagine how hard it would be to draw something like that and then even replicate it for another page. This is probably my favourite manga with shading. The amount of effort there is with that alone is really unbelievable. And, yeah, you should just see the manga yourself to see how great the art is. And all that is why I feel One-Punch Man has the best art of any manga. And so, everyone, those are my pick for my top 5 manga with the best art. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think.

My Kingdom Hearts Bring Arts reviews

In my last entry, I talked about the different Kingdom Hearts Bring Arts I have and the ones that're gonna be coming out soon and what I plan on doing once I get them. Well, now I've decided to upload my reviews I've done on YouTube for all the Bring Arts I have so far. I'll be doing this same thing once I get the rest of these Bring Arts and do reviews for them too. I just like talking about these and it's a lot of fun to be collecting these and adding each new one to my collection of them. And so, here they are and I hope you all like these and please subscribe to my channel as well.

My Kingdom Hearts 3 Bring Arts lineup and plans

So, I know this isn't the kinda entry I usually do, but it's definitely one I wanted to do and talk about. So, since last year, I've been collecting a lot of Kingdom Hearts Bring Arts figures. I also got a display case for my playroom for all of them. I even did some redecorating in my playroom so the majority of it, especially the back, would have almost all my Kingdom Hearts stuff in it. And so, something I thought of yesterday made me really excited and I honestly can't wait to do it. Basically, I'm gonna be getting more Kingdom Hearts 3 Bring Arts soon. I already have Sora, Kairi, Riku and Lea.

I have a lot more like SH figures of Kingdom Hearts 2 Sora and Final Form Sora, a Static Arts Gallery figure of Kingdom Hearts 2 Riku and the Brings Arts of Kingdom Hearts 3 Pirate Sora and Kingdom Hearts 2 Halloween Town Sora. As well as a statue of Sora and King Mickey, but for now, I'm just focusing on the Kingdom Hearts 3 characters by themselves the way they are. Anyway, the idea I had is this. My birthday is coming up soon and my aunt and cousin are the ones who got me the Lea one recently and my dad is getting me King Mickey. I'm hoping to get Roxas, Xion, Ven and Aqua soon and then Terra will be out later so I'll be getting him too. And, my plan is to get King Mickey, Ven and Aqua next and put them in the display case with the ones I have already. That'll make up the Seven Guardians Of Light at the beginning of the Keyblade War in Kingdom Hearts 3. I'll then take a picture of it and put this picture with it.

Afterwards, I'll be getting Roxas and Xion and then Terra when he's released and then I'll have all ten of them together and then I'll take another photo with all of them in there all lined up like in this part in Kingdom Hearts 3 Re:Mind.

And given how I'll hopefully be getting even more on my birthday soon, I can't wait. I've already posted this idea on my Twitter profile and a lot of people really like the idea. So, I'm really excited for it to happen. Also, I do reviews for my Bring Arts figures whenever I get them on my YouTube page, so please check those out too. Anyway, yeah, I just really wanted to tell you all that and I'm definitely gonna post pictures about both of them when I do it. Expect the first one with the first Seven Guardians Of Light to come first at some point. And so, yeah, those are my thoughts on that. And so, everyone, thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tel me what you think.

Ben 10 (TV Show Review)

All right, so I know I've been doing quite a bit of these TV show reviews lately, but it honestly wasn't my plan to. I was really just hoping to do ones for the Last Airbender and Legend Of Korra, but after watching this series again, I decided I wanted to do another one for this. This'll probably be the last one unless I decide I wanna talk about some other show, but, for now, I'm just gonna talk about Ben 10. So, I'm not gonna lie, this was the big action show I grew up with when I was a kid. Me and a cousin of mine were big fans of it when we were younger. In the same way a lot of people have huge nostalgia for other action shows like anime and were big fans of it and it was just a super awesome show to watch when they were younger and they got really into it, yeah, that's what this series was for me. I remember adoring Ben 10 and thinking it was really cool and buying a whole bunch of toys and action figures about it and it was just a really fun and awesome show to follow. And, last year, I actually got the entire series box set and I just watched the whole series in three days and I just finished it the other day. And now, years later, it's still cool. Obviously not as cool and I'm not as super into it as I was when I was a kid, but there are some things about it I appreciated more about it. As well as just understand it a bit more. The story is about a ten year old boy named Ben who's on summer vacation and is going on the road with his grandpa Max and cousin Gwen. But on their first night gone, Ben discovers a pod that fell from the sky with a device in it called the Omnitrix, a device that attaches itself to his wrist and also has the power to transform him into different aliens. While first, obviously, being freaked out by it, he soon discovers how to use it properly and decides to use it to help people. And the entire series from this point onward is just him in different places around the world and fighting different villains. So what really drove me to the series in the first place was the fact that the characters and this premise were so cool. And the characters were really cool despite maybe acting like they were trying to be too cool. But unlike other shows where the characters try to act cool and it just comes across as lame, these characters are cool and really enjoyable. Even nowadays, they still come across that way. Also, and I know me saying this is just kinda repetitive right now, but you can definitely tell that this is another American show that's inspired by anime. Sure, not the same way as Avatar: The Last Airbender or The Legend Of Korra, but you can tell that anime helped inspire this too. And that aspect was shown more obvious to me now. I clearly had no idea what anime was when I was a kid, but nowadays, the elements that are similar are obvious to me. One of the things that benefit from that is the continuing story. Sure, the story is definitely episodic with the episodes, but this is clearly one story moving along with different storylines connecting later in the series and when characters from earlier join up and we see different team up episodes, this was really awesome to me when I was a kid and something that was great to see. I think this might have been the series to introduce me to that. And the other thing that this has in common with anime is the concept. Not just the whole aliens coming to Earth thing, which, come on, has been done to death, but just the way it's done and the way they present it and the designs of the different aliens is all that. Even the designs of the characters show that a bit too. Also, the animation on this show is so good in my opinion. As a kid, even though I never properly thought about it, I still thought the animation was still great and I still believe that. This is some of my favourite American animation ever. As animation for a series, I don't know how to describe it exactly, but this is some amazing animation. Most would probably disagree with me on this, but I can't help but think like that. And the characters are also great. Sometimes they're... not, per se, but they are most of the time and a lot of the time, they get some great moments. Ben himself is probably my favourite character because he is really cool and he does seem to change and mature as the series continues, but a lot of other characters are great too. Gwen, Max, Tetrax, Azmuth. All of them. Not to mention the fact that the villains are awesome too. My favourite is actually the main villain, Vilgax. He's got a cool design and his strength is enormous. Though there are a few things about him I question, but he's still a good villain for the series. And the others are cool too. Kevin, Enoch, Hex, Animo, Ghostfreak. All of them and all the rest not only have great designs, but are just great characters too. And something that's really cool about this is how the series connects, especially with the villains. This is when the series is at its best in my opinion. And it all starts with the alien werewolf. First we meet him and then we see an alien mummy and then it all connects in "The Return" and "Be Afraid Of The Dark." This two parter was a big deal for me when I was a kid. It was essentially the combination of everything in the series thus far, mostly. And I really do remember the first time I watched this and I remember my reaction to the big twist. So, in this, we get to see the werewolf and the mummy returning along with a new character named Victor who's an alien himself and says he's working for his "master", and it's up to Ben, Gwen and Max to stop them. And it's a story about going into space as well, so that's cool. But the first part actually finishes with Ghostfreak being brought back to life. Like I said, I remember my shock when I first saw that. I didn't expect that at all. But it doesn't stop there as we get to see their big fight in the next episode, and it's all really creative and we see more of that anime aspect to it. The fight itself, like I just said, is really creative and we get a lot great moments. Overall, this two parter was a great and kind of a different experience when I was younger with how I was watching shows back then. And it's still a lot of fun to watch. Also, and I kinda touched on this before, but the voice acting is really amazing here. In particular Tara Strong as Ben himself. I mentioned this in my top 5 Tara Strong voice performances list last year and I still stand by that I think this is her second best performance behind Timmy Turner. She's just amazing. The rest of the acting is really great too. And, I love how in later seasons we get more aliens in the Omnitrix and how we see them incorporated into the series. Speaking of, I love all the different aliens they introduce in the Omnitrix. They're all really cool, very unique and have great designs. Not to mention each one has a great power. In terms of which one is my favourite, I think Canonbolt was my favourite when I was younger, but, nowadays, it's Heatblast. But all the rest are great in their own way too. And the rest of the episodes are all mostly just normal episodic ones that occasionally set up something for the end of the series like showing us the Forever King and so on. And a lot of them are really great and entertaining and I like a lot of the ideas they do like Gwen getting magic. That was cool idea and it gives her a chance to fight properly. However, I do have some problems with the series that, again, makes it feel like anime. The fact that since a lot of these are so episodic, some can feel like filler. I know that's different from an anime because it's a cartoon so that doesn't make any sense. But, there are some episodes that feel like that. The biggest I can think of is Gwen 10. A weird episode where Ben somehow gets sent back in time to the first episode where he doesn't have the Omnitrix and Gwen is the one who finds it. I don't think I liked this episode when I was younger and I don't really like it now. It doesn't make any sense, it doesn't connect to the other episodes and it's never explained how it happens. It's just some random episode that's here and then is kinda forgotten. The other episode that feels like that is the future episode. Not the Ben 10000 episode, that episode was cool, I mean the Ken 10 episode. What I don't like about it isn't the idea of Ben having a son, I like that, it's what they do at the end with having Kevin being the villain. What I don't like about it is how in the later series, Ben 10: Alien Force. In that, and in Ultimate Alien, he's a good guy, so him being the main villain doesn't really make sense. I know those shows weren't made yet, but still. I just like to think that it's a non-canon episode. Anyway, something else that's awesome is the three parter special, which could almost be called a movie for the series, "Secret Of The Omnitrix." I love how Tetrax returns and this is what made me like him a whole lot more and made him one of my favourite characters, and the idea of looking for the creator of the Omnitrix is a cool concept and one that I feel like we sorta had to see with it never being brought up before. And the journey through the whole special is fun and the different fights are really enjoyable. And then the climax on Asmuth's planet was great. Especially when the Omnitrix gets fixed and we see Ben turn into Way Big for the first time. And then, finally the series keeps going until the Ben 10 vs. The Negative 10 episode. This two parter was another thing that was pretty big when I was younger. It's the special before the series finale where a whole bunch of villains from the series team up and are working for the Forever King. And seeing a whole bunch of these villains teaming up was such a cool thing for me when I was a kid. We see the Circus Freaks, Charmcaster, Rojo, Clancy, Animo, Sublimino and some red armoured ninja guy and the Forever King teaming up against Ben and the others. The backstory of the Forever King is cool when we see that he was an ex-Plumber. The Plumbers are basically an organisation that Max was part of a long time ago that fought off evil aliens. And so, having one of them being one of the major villains in the series is cool. I mean, this isn't the first time we saw a Plumber be evil in the series, but this is the first time we saw one be a huge, major villain. And having the ten of them going up against Ben, Gwen, Max and another kid with them, Cooper, was cool to see. Anyway, the series officially finishes with "Goodbye And Good Riddance" where the summer's over and Ben is now trying to settle back into his normal life but feels like he can't. Especially since Vilgax is hunting him again. And the whole episode is just that. Him trying to stop Vilgax once and for all, which he does. And, overall, I greatly appreciate how much of an impact this series made on me when I was a kid and I love how this was a super huge show I was following for a long time and it's awesome that I was able to rewatch the whole thing again recently and still see it as a great show. Something else that helps with it in my opinion is that it is a good show. Unlike some other shows I may have liked when I was younger but I now see as bad and annoying, this one totally holds up and I love how this is a show that me a lot of other people liked too. It's just a blast to watch with some really great moments and moments that I can watch and feel a huge amount of nostalgia with. And I love how, in a sense, this kinda introduced me to the idea of continuing stories in shows and making it interesting and fun to follow and kinda seriously. Especially a show I followed for the longest time and was always excited whenever they were introducing new episodes. Yeah, this definitely left a big impact on my childhood and I don't know what a part of my taste in entertainment would have been like if I didn't see it. Also, and this is just something I'm just kinda bringing up even though I probably should have brought it up earlier, but I did actually meet Tara Strong last year at a Comic Con and mentioned how her performance as Ben was one of my favourites of hers. I know that's kinda random to bring up, but I just wanted to there.


So, in the end, yeah, I do still really, really like this show and love a lot of aspects about it. Also, I'm not doing reviews for Ben 10: Alien Force or Ultimate Alien because I haven't watched enough of them to do reviews, and also because I wanted to do this one because it's kinda special to me and nostalgic, so I just wanted to talk about this. Maybe I will someday, but, for now, I'm just leaving it with this. So, yeah, I would say I recommend it. It's just a load of fun to watch and I would definitely say you'd enjoy it. And so, yeah, everyone, that's my review of Ben 10. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think.
