Anime merchandise collection 2

So guys, this is pretty similar to an entry I made last year when I showed the different merchandise I'd gotten from different anime I like and I decided to try to combine them all by putting them all on me in different ways and seeing what I looked like. And, recently, I've gotten way more. I mentioned before about how I was hoping to get more to add to the ones I already had, so, I did. Ever since that video I did last year, I've been gettin way more. A few of the ones I had in the last video were from Naruto, One Piece, Dragon Ball, Fullmetal Alchemist, Yu Yu Hakusho and so on. Now, some of the series I've gotten now are JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Bleach, Attack On Titan, Inuyasha and some other ones. I'm really excited to be able to bring all these home and put them all together and see what they all look like. I'm just really happy to have all these and, while I'm not sure if I'll be getting any more after this, I'm just really excited to see what these all look like together and I'm hoping to share what they all look like on my YouTube Community when I do. And so, here it is and I hope you all like this.

My Brook collectible (Review)

So guys, this one is pretty special because I got another anime collectible last week, but, not only that, but, it was actually Brook from One Piece and the reason that's special is because Brook was the last of the Straw Hat Pirates I needed because I now have them all. This was really cool because he's actually a lot small than I thought, so he fits into my display case of anime collectibles greatly and so it's great to have him and the others all together. This also completes another anime group in terms of these collectibles as well. I explain in more detail in the video, but, I'm just super glad to have finally gotten all of them, especially since I've technically been starting this collection since around November 2019 when I got that first Luffy collectible. Anyway, here it is and I hope you all like this.

Strange World

So guys, we've arrived at the newest Disney Classic and one I wasn't super excited for, Strange World. I didn't think the trailers for this look impressive some of it was looking pretty generic to me. And I also hadn't heard great things about the movie before seeing it, but a part of me was still curious and hopeful for this movie anyway. So, in the end, honestly, I really, really didn't like this movie and thought it was pretty bad. Which, knowing me, that's really saying something considering how much of a Disney supporter and fan I am, but, yeah, I thought this was the first truly bad Disney movie I've seen in a while. There's just a lot in this that I really didn't like and thought was really poorly done and pretty annoying and generic as well. Also, I'll be going full spoilers from the beginning because I really don't have much to talk about with this film and I feel it's the only way I can talk about it. So, what's the story? In a quiet land, a guy named Searcher discovered a plant that caused his entire place to gain electricity and now the whole place is thriving despite his dad being an explorer who was desperately trying to reach the end of some mountains and hasn't heard from him since. Searcher is also now married with a son and is well famous where he lives but he soon discovers that the electricity is in danger from its source, so, he decides to go with some people to find out why while his family comes along and they discover another land underneath the ground and they try to find the root of the problem. Okay, so, I guess I'll get some of the few things I liked out of the way. The animation is of course spectacular. Even in Disney movies people don't like, they at least acknowledge that the animation is top-tier and unmatched by any other studio besides Pixar. The cast as well is pretty good, especially Jake Gyllenhaal as Searcher, it was cool to have Jake Gyllenhaal in a Disney movie and I think he did the best he could. But, his talent really couldn't save the character from the writing, and we're just gonna head straight into the things I didn't like. This will probably just be a rapid fire of all the things I didn't like because, like I said, I don't really have that much to say about this movie. So, first off, I didn't really like any of the characters in this, they were all either really annoying or frustrating to watch or clichéd. I thought all of them had a generic character arc like how Searcher didn't want to be like his dad and tries to prove himself, especially to his son Ethan, but then has to learn that Ethan doesn't want to be like him either and just wants to do his own thing. Speaking of, I think Ethan was probably my least favourite character in the movie because a lot of what he did was generic and just made the character look pretty stupid. It was pretty frustrating watching him do one dumb mistake after another and just having him whine the whole time got really annoying really quickly, and it was even more annoying considering how everything he did was predictable and they didn't really try to do anything new with him. I also noticed some pretty major plot holes in the movie like when Searcher's wife said she's never flown or seen some specific kind of plane before but then as soon as she tries to pilot it, she somehow knows exactly what to do. Speaking of, I mentioned how a lot of the characters had generic character arcs like when Jaeger, as in Searcher's dad, was obviously gonna see the error in his ways and realise he was spending too much time on what he wanted and not seeing what was most important, and, for the most part, I was right. There's also some absolutely terrible and stupid moments and scenes in this like when Ethan, Searcher and Jaeger are playing some card game, that scene was really, really stupid and really cringey. Again, it just kinda made the characters look really stupid and kinda selfish as well so a lot of what was happening just made it really hard to get invested in these characters or this plot in general. And, another moment similar to that is when Searcher misunderstands what Ethan was saying and thinks Jaeger is getting to him and that causes Ethan to storm off, and what made that even more annoying was that this was near the end when they were at the place they were trying to get at, so seeing him storm off like that in the worst possible place just made it even dumber and therefore, just kinda hard to root for any of these guys. I also felt the pacing was really bad, especially in the beginning where it felt like it just got into the main story really, really quickly with that other lady coming to talk to Searcher and get him to come along. A lot of that felt really quick and felt like it was going insanely fast. And, as for the other world itself, I dunno, it didn't seem that interesting, it just kinda felt like a boring place with some weird stuff in it, nothing about it really stood out to me. I guess some stuff in the climax was kinda cool. They did kinda have a little bit of an interesting idea with the idea of actually living on the back of a creature and they realised they've been harming it the whole time and they realise they need to help it, that wasn't bad and had some interesting concepts, but, because I didn't really care about any of the characters involved or just this world in general, a lot of it just felt really empty to me. Really, a lot of this movie just didn't grab me and I was really just waiting for this movie to end. Actually, it's kinda weird because I was constantly waiting for the movie to end, but, as I was nearing the end, I thought back to the first 10 minutes of the film and it didn't feel like I was in the cinema for that long despite the movie being an hour and 42 minutes long, so, it was a weird case of not feeling like I was there for that long but still just waiting for the movie to end because I really wasn't enjoying myself. Really, I know this review was way shorter than my reviews usually are, especially Disney movie reviews, but, like I said, I didn't have that much to talk about. So, overall, like I said, I really, really didn't like this movie and thought it was the first bad Disney Classic in a long while. From what I heard, the movie is pretty much bombing at the box office right now and I'd be lying if I said I didn't see why. Actually, what makes it even more sad for me about this film is that it was directed by Don Hall, as in the same guy who's directed some of my favourite Disney movies of all time like Big Hero 6 and Raya And The Last Dragon, so to have him go from those to this just makes it sadder for me, so I'm hoping his next Disney movie will be an improvement. So, yeah, I guess if you're the least bit curious, maybe check this out, but, personally, I never really want to watch this film again. So, I was probably kinda harsh on this film, but considering how much of a Disney fan I am and how amazing their track record for making amazing animated Classics is, this was just a huge disappointment for me. So, yeah guys, that's my review of Strange World. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think.
