My Josuke Higashikata collectible (Review)

So, I was recently finally able to get my first anime collectible for a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure character. For this first one, I got Josuke from Part 4, Diamond Is Unbreakable. I haven't done my review for this one yet, but, I'll say in advance that I really, really loved it and Josuke himself is part of the reason. I'd say he's probably my second favourite JoJo character next to Jotaro. Once Stone Ocean finishes, I'll do my review for this, Golden Wind and Stone Ocean. I already finished Golden Wind as well. Anyway, for this Josuke figure, it's not at all what I was expecting because it's a lot smaller than I thought. There's kind of a series going on with a set of JoJo figures and I thought this was one of them, but it's not. It's way smaller and doesn't have the proper looking stand that I thought it would. Anyway, here's my review and I hope you all like this.

My paintings of Attack On Titan characters

So, guys, I've been doing more anime painting entries lately, and this new one I've done is for Attack On Titan. I was kinda wondering about this for a while because I wasn't entirely sure if I could do these, but, I decided to give it a shot and, for the most part, I was happy with these. I didn't do that many. I only wanted to try to do a couple so I did Eren, Mikasa, Armin and Levi. I'm especially happy with the way my Eren one came out. I'm hoping I'll be able to do a few more anime painting entries soon. I have a few more in mind, so, hopefully I'll be able to do those soon. Anyway, these are my ones for Attack On Titan, and so, here they are and I hope you all like these.

My paintings of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba characters

So, guys, I realise I've been trying to do more painting entries lately and thankfully I've been doing a ton of anime ones. This time, I did ones for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. I've been thinking of doing one for this series ever since I started watching the series in January. I really just did paintings of Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu and Inosuke, but, I'm super, super happy with the way these turned out and I'm happy to be sharing them on here. I might try doing more for some other series soon, but, at the moment, here are my ones for Demon Slayer. Here they are and I hope you all like these.

My Franky collectible (Review)

So, recently, I was able to get another new anime collectible, and this new one was Franky from One Piece. So, I was able to add another Straw Hat Pirate to the collection. It's a pretty big one, and I'm not surprised given how that is pretty accurate for Franky. And, now that I have him, this means I have almost all the Straw Hat Pirates. The only one I need now is Brook, so, hopefully I'll be able to get one for him really soon. This one was also really fun to add to the case because it was cool to add him with the other Straw Hats. And it's just fun to imagine how cool it'll be once I have Brook and have all of them together. The only thing that could maybe contradict that is if there's another Straw Hat added to the crew before the series ends. And so, here it is and I hope you all like this.

My paintings of Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon characters

So guys, my last paintings entry was about Inuyasha characters, so, now, I decided to do the same but with Yashahime characters instead. I really only just did Towa, Setsuna and Moroha for this, but I tried anyway. These are definitely not my best at all, but, like I said, I tried my best with them and I am at least happy with the way Towa came out. I'm hoping to do more soon like with Demon Slayer, JoJo and some others soon, but, for now, I'm just gonna show gonna show you all these. And so, here they are and I hope you all like these.

My Krillin collectible (Review)

So, finally finishing my collectibles of Dragon Ball characters, I recently got one for Krillin. I mentioned a bunch of times already that I've been trying to get one of him to complete my collection of Dragon Ball characters from the Tournament Of Power and I finally did recently and I'm super happy with it because I've been looking for one for ages and I finally have him. So, now, I have the collectibles for Dragon Ball I want like Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin, Frieza, Gohan, Master Roshi, Tien, Android 17 and 18. It's really awesome to have them all because I've been trying to get the set of the ten of them together and I finally do. It's just great to finally have a team like them together as part of my anime collectible collection. I have some more coming from other series at the moment so I'm hoping to show them off here once they arrive and I'm really excited to get them. Anyway, here it is and I hope you all like this.

Dragon Ball GT (Anime Review)

So guys, once again, I'm doing another anime review and this is a very unique one because I finally watched all of Dragon Ball GT, the original sequel series to Dragon Ball Z and was created only by Toei Animation and wasn't part of Akira Toriyama's original manga. And this is unique because I actually thought that I would never watch this. I've heard so much about this series from people and how so many didn't like it and thought it was a terrible series. I also even mentioned to someone on my YouTube channel that I wouldn't bother watching this because, not only did I not want to waste my time with it, but it also just wasn't part of canon anymore because of Dragon Ball Super being the real sequel series now and it completely retconned this entire show. But, recently, I was kinda pondering about getting it because, not only was it on DVD here, but the whole series was in one box set and it wasn't very expensive. I also just wanted to add it to my Dragon Ball collection. And, in terms of the series itself, people were saying there were some good things in it, and I had heard a lot about the series in different ways too. So, I eventually got the complete box set of the whole series on Friday and I finished the show today. And in the end, yeah, it's pretty much exactly what you heard about the series already, it's really, really, really bad. This is probably the first time I do an anime review that's all negative because I found this series to be so a pain to watch. A part of me is kinda happy to have finally seen it, but it was mostly a gigantic drag to get through. And, like always, this will have all the spoilers, but, that's all right, cause I really don't think you should watch this. Anyway, let's get to it. So, the basic plot is that the beginning of the series starts with Goku training Uub from the end of Dragon Ball Z and they're finishing their training but the Pilaf Gang find things called The Black Star Dragon Balls, which are, exactly that, Dragon Balls but with black stars, and they accidently wish for Goku to be a small boy again. These Dragon Balls however then scatter across the universe and need to be returned to Earth otherwise the planet will explode. So, Goku decides to go into space to find them along with Trunks and Goten, but then Goten gets left behind because Pan, Gohan and Videl's daughter, sneaks on the ship and takes off without him so now it's just Goku, Trunks and Pan looking for the Dragon Balls. And that's the first half of the show, just the three of them in space looking for the Dragon Balls while going on insane journeys along the way. There's clearly more along the way, but I'll get to that later on. So, yeah, at the very beginning, it's really obvious to see a lot of the main issues. The idea of turning Goku into a kid again is one of the worst and most infamous ideas in Dragon Ball history, the whole idea of the Black Star Dragon Balls is also insanely weird because, not only were they never part of the original series, but they also make tons of plot holes too like how everyone somehow forgot they existed, and, for me, the main thing I couldn't get over how annoying and boring a lot of the episodes were along with the often super annoying characters, especially Pan. Pan is one of the most annoying characters in all of Dragon Ball. A lot of people have talked about how disliked she is and I agree. I could not stand her. Just with her constant complaining and making tons of mistakes, not to mention she was a terrible fighter a lot of the time too. It's almost kind of a shame because she's one of those characters I want to like because there are some things about her that almost kinda alludes to her having good qualities, but her constant whining and bad decision making just made her insufferable a lot of the time. And, for the entire Black Star Dragon Ball Saga, it felt like nothing but just boring episodes with dumb scenarios like when Pan is mistaken for a bee or when Trunks has to pretend to be a woman or when they meet the incredibly stupid and annoying Para-Para Brothers or when they run into some annoying villain named Dolltaki who stays around for way too long and is one of the worst aspects to the entire show. And, we keep this up for at least 20 or so episodes. We barely even get to see Vegeta at all. The second best character in this entire franchise and maybe one of the greatest anime characters of all time and he's barely involved. Speaking of, for a lot of the early episodes, it almost felt like Goku was barely involved himself. It just felt like he was just around for no reason and didn't feel like he was involved all that much. I will admit, after the Black Star Dragon Ball Saga, things feel like they sorta go into an interesting direction because we're then introduced to Baby, this character who's a creation from the Tuffles, the race of beings the Saiyans destroyed to take their planet and turn it into Planet Vegeta. The idea of bringing back the Tuffles in some way and have something from them be a villain who wants revenge for what the Saiyans did makes total sense and is a really good idea. I like the idea that they don't ignore what the Saiyans have done and made a villain from that. However, people were saying this arc was pretty well done for the most part and had some really great moments. But, personally, I didn't really see it. Yeah, the idea of Baby being something the Tuffles made and now wants revenge is a good idea, but that's really the only good thing I saw from this Saga because everything besides that still wasn't very good in my opinion. I felt it went on for too long and the action scenes were so boring a lot of the time. Speaking of, that's another one of the biggest problems with the show. The action scenes are so, so, so boring in this series. The Dragon Ball franchise has the most famous action scenes in anime history but this series contains the worst action scenes I've ever seen from the franchise. The hand-to-hand combat is some of the worst choreographed I've seen and most of the series is just the characters using Ki blasts, especially the Kamehameha. The Kamehameha is used way too much in this series. Goku does it so many times and it was used way too much and got kinda annoying after a while. Speaking of the Baby Saga, this is also when the iconic Super Saiyan 4 is introduced. Super Saiyan 4 is probably the most famous part of Dragon Ball GT with its design being so well known. But, really, again, it didn't mean all that much to me when it happened. I guess I like how it turns Goku back into an adult temporarily, but, I don't really like the design, and the actual scene itself when it happens is pretty weak. In Dragon Ball Z, characters achieving new forms were always humongous moments and felt like they were super impactful on the story. This was just kinda casual and not very well done. Not to mention the fact that it doesn't feel like how Goku would usually achieve a new form where it was always out of hard work or suffering like when he first achieved Super Saiyan. And the idea of having it be that Elder Kai and Kibito Kai just pull a tail from him and that's part of how he gets it is so lame. And, the eventual fight with Goku and Baby, like I said, I didn't like the action and it was so boring, but the actual idea for the setting being a restored Planet Vegeta and having Buu and Uub fuse into Majuub are both ideas that I like, but they're not well explored ideas and they both felt so wasted when they could have done so more. But then Goku is finally able to kill Baby when he tries to escape, but then we get, in my opinion, the worst and most pathetically executed moment in the whole series. The Earth is still in danger of blowing up because Baby made a wish with the Black Star Dragon Balls so they decide to move everyone on Earth to the resurrected Planet Vegeta but Piccolo, who, by the way, was only in this for five seconds before now, decides to stay to sacrifice himself so the Black Star Dragon Balls don't reappear again so he stays on the planet when it explodes but then the other Namekians just all of a sudden wish the Earth to come back. And we don't even really see it happen, it's just explained in a narration. I swear, this moment was so horribly done because, not only did they have the Earth get wished back in less than a minute after it blew up, but the fact that we then see it back to normal without actually seeing it was really terribly done. Not to mention the fact that Piccolo was only in this for about three or four minutes and then he died. I know people say the Baby Saga was the best part of the series, but I really didn't like it at all aside from just the idea of Baby as a character. The whole thing of him coming to Earth and taking over people, especially Vegeta, is a cool idea I guess, but, even then, there's some things there I don't understand like how everyone kinda acts like they're someone else, but also kinda like themselves too, so I didn't really get it. So, I know everyone says this Saga is okay and well done for the most part, but I just saw it as another part of GT that was a waste of time. The next Saga after this is the Super 17 Saga. Everyone has already complained about this Saga and talked about how bad it is, and, yeah, it totally is. The one good thing I'll say about it is that it is really short so we don't have to stick with it for too long, unlike the Baby Saga. So, Dr. Myuu, the guy who was trying to resurrect Baby, teams up with Dr. Gero in the underworld and they decide to have two versions of Android 17 fuse into Super Android 17 and they even manage to resurrect all the villains who died in the Dragon Ball franchise and so everyone has to fight them. This is an aspect that's so bizzare because, while I guess the idea to bring back the villains makes sense for Gero because he wants to overwhelm everyone, it was weirdly done because  we don't get to see them fight the villains for very long. We get small chunks of it, but not much so we don't get to see what happens to most of them. The one cool aspect about that I like is when Goku has to fight Frieza and Cell in the afterlife. The idea of Frieza and Cell teaming up is a cool idea and the interactions they have are fun to watch, but even then, there's some things there that don't make sense, especially in regard to a rule of the Dragon Ball franchise, that being that when a character dies and is in the afterlife, if they die again, then they're gone forever. But, here, Frieza and Cell talk about how they can't die because they're already dead. And that's completely forgetting a rule that's always been part of the Dragon Ball franchise. But then, towards the end of the Saga, we have Goku and Android 18 teaming up to fight 17 and it has a cool ending I guess. I mean, it's pretty generic, but it has a nice interaction between Goku and 18 because 17 killed Krillin. Again, like I said, the only good thing about this Saga is that it's really short so we don't have to bear with it for too long. After this is the last Saga of the series, The Shadow Dragon Saga. This is pretty much the same as the Baby Saga for me in that a lot of people say this arc isn't too bad and has good moments in it, but, again, it was the same for me where I mostly found it boring and a waste of both time and good ideas. Again, there are some ideas that're good here like how the Dragon Balls break and the negative energy stored inside them from misusing the Dragon Balls over and over releases seven evil dragons called Shadow Dragons who begin to rampage through the world so Goku and Pan go after them to find the Dragon Balls and stop the dragons. I like the idea that using the Dragon Balls over and over has consequences, but, this felt like a mix of the Black Star Dragon Ball Saga and the Baby Saga where Goku and Pan have to find the Dragon Balls and have to fight specific villains like in the Baby Saga. Most of these episodes feel like a waste of time, except for one Shadow Dragon called Nova Shenron who was created with the Four Star Dragon Ball and he's the only one that didn't feel wasted. He and Goku begin to respect each other throughout their fight which leads to them becoming friends and an ally later on. I like that. It makes sense that Goku would befriend the Four Star Dragon and I like their interactions. But, eventually, the final dragon, Syn Shenron is revealed as the last of the dragons and he then evolves into Omega Shenron and Goku and Vegeta have to team up to fight him. This part reminded me a lot of the Majin Buu Saga in that they fight a villain that everyone tries their harest to fight and can even reassemble himself the same way as Buu but then Goku and Vegeta have to fuse but that doesn't work which results in everyone getting smacked around again until Goku eventually uses the Spirit Bomb to kill the villain. Except here, even though I really didn't like the Majin Buu Saga because it was way too long and was really boring and annoying after a while, this was way worse. I'll admit, I like how it was way shorter than that so we didn't have to waste as much time on it, but this was still really poorly executed because, like I've said a bunch of times already, the action was really boring, but the way the Spirit Bomb killed Omega Shenron was really weird. It was just that it hit him and he was dead. There wasn't any long drawn out moment showing it, he just launched the bomb and that was it. And, I will admit, I know the whole Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta is pretty iconic and it is an interesting idea, espeically since they do kinda use the idea again later on for Dragon Ball Super: Broly, except it was done much better there with having Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan involed, but I know how this version is well known too, but, again, I didn't like it. And it felt kinda out of character for Vegeta to only rely on some machine for getting a new Super Saiyan transformation considering his character would usually train as hard as he can and achieve it that way as a way of proving himself to be stronger than everyone else. I know they were in a desperate situation and sometimes he does swallow his pride and try something kinda similar if it means finishing the villain, but it was still done weird here. Although, I'm not gonna lie, the actual ending is really nice. I like how it ends with being kinda bitter sweet with Goku probably leaving forever with Shenron and Pan finds his clothes and Vegeta says goodbye to her and so on. Not gonna lie, probably because I'm a huge Dragon Ball fan and I already love these characters, it actually did get me a bit emotional when it ended. It's really weird because I really, really, really didn't like watching this at all, but something about it made me kinda emotional inside to see it end. And then the actual ending shows Pan as an old lady with her grandson Goku Jr. and he's in another World Martial Arts Tournament, and yeah, that's the end of Dragon Ball GT. It was cancelled after that and I kinda wonder if they knew it was gonna be cancelled and just wanted to wrap everything up, but it doesn't really matter. But, anyway, yeah, that was Dragon Ball GT. I know I always talk about how I was always happy with watching a series whenever I make any of these reviews, yeah, this is completely different because I knew exactly what this series was gonna be, but I think it was maybe a little bit worse than I thought because, even with the things people said they liked and said were okay, I didn't find any enjoyment in myself. Sure, there were some cool ideas and interesting concepts, but, that's really all I have to say for any positives, the rest of the series as a whole is exactly what not to do with a sequel series for an anime. I was mostly just bored and annoyed with so much of this series. The series is only 64 episodes, literally the same amount of episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, but unlike the complete masterpiece that is that series, this show felt like a drag the whole time. Yeah, I know it's weird that I did watch this knowing what it was going to be, but I was at the very least curious about it and I disliked it so much. As a massive fan of Dragon Ball, this was just such a let-down and following these characters was harder this time than any other. Like I said, Pan herself was a character I found to be one of the most annoying in the whole franchise and other new characters they meet were just as annoying too. And it was a shame that the action scenes were so, so boring considering this is the Dragon Ball series, which, again, has some of the most famous action scenes in anime history. Not to mention other things similar to that like the animation. I found the animation in this series weird because everything had this weird dark, shadowy look to it and it was really weird. Speaking of bad animation, the episode I mentioned earlier with Frieza and Cell is pretty infamous for making Cell look weird as well and, yeah, Cell looks really weird when he reappears. Something about the shape of his head looked really bad with the animation quality. And the fact that there was no manga to adapt from makes the pacing even worse because the writers could have done a lot with this but they chose to use dumb storylines. I will say, one of the actual things I do love in this is Vegeta himself. Even though he does have some moments that're out of character and him having a moustache for the beginning is so weird, but he does have a lot of great moments and does feel like a good continuation for his character, mostly. But, really, him being good for a lot of this doesn't save the rest and the best I can say is that I'm glad Dragon Ball Super now exists that now completely retcons this series. So, yeah, I'm obviously suggesting that you don't check this series out. And, yeah, guys, that's my review for Dragon Ball GT. So, yeah, everyone, thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think.
