So, in case you don't know this about me, which is kind of impossible at this point, the entire Kingdom Hearts series is my favourite piece of entertainment ever and is easily my favourite story I've ever heard. And, as you all know from following this blog for a long time, Kingdom Hearts 3 has been my most anticipated release in my whole life. And with everything in the marketing showing how amazing this was gonna be, it just got to the point where I couldn't hold it in anymore. And, in the end, after all that build up and anticipation, what did I inevitably think of it? Honestly, I'm not 100% sure. But I definetly think it's absolutely amazing and the anticipation was totally worth it. Where I feel I'm not 100% sure at is the ending because I felt a lot of things during the ending. Also, I'll be doing a spoiler-free part to the review and then I'll be doing a spoiler part because there's a lot to talk about. So, let's go with the story first like always. It starts off with another amazing opening like every other Kingdom Hearts game, but the opening in this is completely different to the way we saw when it was revealed to us. Not hugely different, still though. It then actually opens with the ending of 0.2 where Sora, Donald and Goofy heading to Olympus after Sora failed the Mark Of Mastery exam. They go there because Sora believes going there will help him figure out the thing Yen Sid said will help him unlock the power of waking. When they get there, Sora doesn't exactly get what he was expecting. While that's going on, Riku and King Mickey are in the Realm Of Darkness trying to save Aqua and Kairi and Lea are somewhere else training to be Keyblade wielders, even with Kairi writing to Sora. When Sora and others get back, he and the others are informed of what to do next and he even gets a new suit and he even looks a little different too. Riku and King Mickey's Keyblades also break so they have to report back with them being able to get new Keyblades now too. And they're getting ready to fight Xehanort. And I'm gonna stop right there. I know, kinda vague, but that's really the best I can do without revealing much else. So, yeah, like the other Kingdom Hearts reviews, I'll talk about the gameplay first and then move onto my thoughts on the story. This is pretty much tied with Kingdom Hearts 2 when it comes to gameplay, and it may even be better. As you all know from the trailers and things like that, there's a huge variety when it comes to the action in this. Because of the different Keyblades you get, you can use them as different weapons and transformations you can do with the Keyblades you get. They can transform into other weapons like hammers, guns or staffs or anything like that. And the way Sora can activate is awesome. As well as all the park ride attacks he can do like the teacups, the pirate ship and the water ride, that was all cool to use. There's also the mechanic to switch Keyblades during the fight. Once you have one Keyblade selected, you can press the arrows left or right to select a different one. Plus, I have to talk about probably the biggest different with this game from the others. The fact that this was made by the Unreal Engine 4, like how 0.2 was. And yeah, it definitely paid off. This is easily the best looking Kingdom Hearts game out there. Not just the textures and the beautiful landscapes, but also the characters. Just the little details on them and look of their skin and everything. Even in parts of the Disney worlds, like for example the Caribbean, I was sorta making a joke that there's no way they coulda made it look this good, this musta just taken the clip out from the movie and put it in here. That's how good the graphics are in this and it's just what you'd expect from Square Enix at this point. How they managed to make all this look just like the movies is incredible. And yeah, it definetly felt like I was really in these Disney worlds and exploring them. But I also liked how they redesigned some things like the returning worlds or the characters themselves. I'm personally still not the biggest fan of Sora's redesign, but, it's actually starting to grow on me. And everyone else look great too. Speaking of which, yeah, let's move onto the most important part of the entire Kingdom Hearts series, the story and the characters. What else can I say besides they're just as fantastic and amazing as before. Sora is still the same lovable character as before, and everyone is great too. Just seeing all these characters back like this and teaming up after all this time is just amazing. And the cast is just as great as they've ever been. Haley Joel Osment is still the best casting choice for anything in my opinion, and he's still perfect as Sora. Everyone else is just as amazing. And even the new cast like Alyson Stoner replacing Hayden Panettiere as Kairi still do great jobs of capturing what makes these characters so great and lovable. And as the game progresses, it just shows more and more of the plot like Organization XIII showing up every once in a while, what's happening to Riku and King Mickey in he Realm Of Darkness and what's happening to all the other characters too like Aqua and even Ansem the Wise. This gamed perfectly knew how to balance all these characters so well and do in a way that felt like a proper combination of all these years of build-up. And every time something really exciting happened or some characters reveal happened, I couldn't help getting hyper and really excited and kinda freaking put because of how the story was progressing. Tetsuya Nomura once again shows that he has an amazing imagination when it comes to crafting this story and fuelling the events the set-up what's happening next. Especially as you enter the final act of the game. That's when everything just went through the roof. I could not contain myself at all throughout the ending because there were so many amazing and satisfying moments that just me cheer and grin from ear to ear. And there were so many shocking moments that made me freak out too. And even cry because I couldn't believe what was happening to these characters. Speaking of the ending, Nomura himself actually said he rewrote the ending multiple times, and it shows that he put a lot of thought into it. And, I'm not gonna lie, the ending of this, like, the actual ending, traumatised me because of what happened. As soon as it happened and the credits started rolling, I started shaking and at points because of it, and I still can't. And what they do to Xehanort at the end was just mind-blowing to me. The game also has a lot of other awesome amazing moments that I don't want to talk about until the spoilers because I wan to talk about all the details. But this game also has so many satisfying moments too. Just a lot of moments that we fans have been waiting for for a long time. Also, this is kind of small thing, but I really love every scene with Sora and Kairi together. The relationship between the two of them has been one of the most important elements in these games and this game took it to new directions. And, like I said, some things happen that we've wanted to see for a long time, and something they do is one of them. Every scene with them made my heart beat really fast. Honestly, saying all this good stuff, the only issue I have with the game is the Gummi Ship segments. This is the most different Gummi Ship system in all these games. You actually pinpoint where you go and then you roam throughout space wherever you want to go and you fight enemies only if you want to get close to one or there might be one at the world and you have to beat it in order to keep going. I personally wasn't a fan of that. They even brought back an old mechanic from the first game, as in designing your own ship and then putting the pieces on it. I didn't like that in Kingdom Hearts 1, and I still don't really like it. I preferred the way it was done in Kingdom Hearts 2 more as in you got the ship and you could use whatever one you wanted and then you went in a straight line and you targeted enemies and destroyed them easier. So, I preferred that system much more. Aside from that though, the rest of the mechanics are top-notch. I especially loved all the worlds you went to like the new and old worlds. I loved all that and I loved all the interactions again. That's something else Kingdom Hearts does so well. Showing the different interactions between these characters in the Disney worlds and Sora himself. And seeing him finally interacting with characters like Woody, Buzz, Sulley, Mike and all these other characters was just as awesome as I would have imagined. The personalities of these characters is perfectly realised and it's so much fun hanging out with them. Seeing Sora also be accepted by a lot of them is also really satisfying. I loved it every time like when we meet Jack again and when we meet new characters. They even introduced a ton of other minigames too like you can actually go to Twilight Town where Uncle Scrooge has set up a bistro with Remy from Ratatouille and you can actually make different courses in the kitchen with Remy and you can make something that Sora can eat in the main menu. Not only that, but he's also given something called a Gummiphone. It's this phone that allows Sora to take photos where the characters interact with it and you can even take photos of emblems that're in the shape of King Mickey's head, which you can be rewarded for. It even has something like a social media on it where you see what he's written on it during the loading menus. Not just him but also Riku and Ienzo, A.K.A, Zexion, who's now a good guy like a lot of the other Organization members, who's helping Sora and even has a Gummiphone of his own. That was really fun. So at the end of the day, Kingdom Hearts 3 absolutely lived up to the hype. Considering how excited I was for this, which is extremely high, I'm so happy to say that it was totally worth the wait. Given how long we had to wait for it to release, I couldn't have picked a better way for this epic combination of the past 17 years to keep moving forward, and I can't wait for what comes next. And so, everyone, that was my long awaited spoiler-free review of Kingdom Hearts 3. Thank you all so much for reading, it's been great talking about this game for so long and I can't wait for more in the future. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think.
Spoilers:
Okay, firstly just want to get one thing out of the way, and that's that I'm confused as to why the 100 Acre Wood as only a small world that you went to once and that was it. I liked how we went there and saw them for, maybe, the last time, but it was the same minigame three times. I still liked it though. And I even liked other small things like the return of Sora's "happy" face. Now, like I said, there's a lot to talk about when it comes to the spoilers, so this may take a while. Firstly, I loved the first part on Olympus with Sora trying to figure out what he needed to unlock the Power of Waking but not being able to. It was cool we saw Xigbar there and I liked how it was like he was giving a bit of foreshadowing. Seeing Kairi and Lea training together was a nice touch and I love seeing Kairi do more like training to be a Keyblade wielder. And I thought the first scene with them was sweet. Especially when Kairi was talking about her letters to Sora. And then later on when we see her in her new suit, that was awesome. Really, everything with Kairi here I loved a lot. I thought it was cool to see Riku get a new Keyblade, although I'm kind wondering how he got it. It's still a cool new Keyblade, and it helps show that he's really no longer part of the darkness. I thought it was nice to find out what happened to Aqua when it looked like Xehanort possessed her, and seeing her come back was extremely satisfying and a really exciting scene too. Every scene involving an old character coming back gave me goose bumps and made me really excited and hyper. And, with that, let's talk about the character returns, which was probably the stuff I was most excited for. As I said, Aqua come back was the first really exciting scene with it feeling like the story was really propelling forward fast from that moment onward. I just kept going really fast throughout the rest of the story because I was excited to see what was gonna happen next. After that, when they went to Castle Oblivion and Aqua turned it back to the Land Of Departure was also extremely exciting to me. We got to see Aqua reunite with Ven again, which was a nice moment, and then Sora freed Ven from his heart and brought him, which was just the coolest thing to see, and it was awesome to see him interact with Ven and fight Vanitas as Aqua. And then only a few minutes later, we get that scene I was talking about. That scene with Sora and Kairi that we've been waiting to see, that was when they finally had the Paopu Fruits. It was nice that we finally saw that, especially given how that's something that was setup since the first game. I honestly thought we were gonna see them kiss there. And, keeping it going, the game didn't let up once from then onward because after that, it's the epic battle that we've been waiting for against Xehanort. And yeah, it's just amazing, the act of this game is nothing but an adrenaline rush from start to finish. And now we've gotta talk about the ending. My god, we have got to talk about THAT ending. Firstly though, I thought that part where it looked like everyone died was real. I honestly felt like everyone was dead then. Definetly not Sora, but everyone else, yeah. But then during the next scene when Sora meet Chirithy and he helps him was amazing. And then time sorta reverses and we get the scene again but this time, Sora goes to save everyone's hearts. And I loved seeing how it was Kairi who was helping him and then the two going off into the same kinda sparkles that we saw in Kingdom Hearts 1, which was really nice. And then all the Keyblades belonging to the wielders of the past show up and Sora launches them at the huge ball of darkness, which was just... I can't even describe how awesome that was. Seeing Yen Sid show up and finally doing some action was also really awesome. And then the rest of the battle is inside the maze where you're helping some friends along the way fighting the different members of the Thirteen Seekers Of Darkness. And, along the way, some really epic moments kept happening, like Xion being revealed or Roxas showing up to save her and Lea or Terra coming back or Sora just always arriving to save them. There's honestly way too many amazing moments to count. But then towards the end when you're with King Mickey and Riku fighting Young Xehanort, Ansem and Xemnas, Xehanort reveals Kairi and then kills her right in front of Sora. That scene made me lose my mind. I did not expect that at all and it made me feel the same way Sora did. And I was just as surprised when Xehanort got the X-Blade and finally unlocked Kingdom Hearts. And then everyone coming together to help Sora and then they going to that place in the trailer looked great. And then the final battle really begins with you fighting the thirteen different Xehanorts, but you really just need to defeat one and then he absorbs them all and gets a suit of armour himself. And that's where it really begins with him having the X-Blade and you finish the fight on top of the main building, which was just fantastic. And then the rest is just a ton of amazing scenes. And I love how it's actually Eraqus who saves the day and then Xehanort actually becomes a good guy, which I didn't see coming at all. And then he actually gives Sora the X-Blade, which was just so awesome and I was geeking out as that scene was going. But then at the end, Sora decides to go off and save Kairi somehow and promises to come back soon. I'm not entirely sure how he did that, but the ending of the game was so satisfying and so fulfilling as we see everyone be happy. King Mickey, Doanld, Goofy, Yen Sid, Chip, Dale and Jiminy go back to Disney Castle, Roxas, Lea, Xion, Isa, Hayner, Pence and Ollette are living in Twilight Town, Ven, Aqua and Terra make a momorial for Eraqus with his Keyblade and then they leave their Wayfinders with it and then Ven reunites with Chirithy. And even other things like Naminé coming back and then all of them go to Destiny Islands to hang out. This entire ending just floored me. The fact that everything was going so well and everyone was back and happy and playing just made it feel so satisfying. But then as it progresses, we see Sora and Kairi on the Paopu tree and it looks like they're finally about to get together and kiss, but then Sora just disappears... and that's it. It just goes straight to the credits after that... okay... what exactly just happened? What happened to Sora? Why did he disappear? Did he sacrifice himself for her again? But then, of course, there's the secret ending where it shows that Xigbar may actually be the main villain the whole time with the other masters back. And it turns out he was the guy Luxu the whole time. Which, I gotta say didn't surprise me that much consider how similar the two of them acted. So when it was finally revealed, I actually called it a little bit. He's even with four of the Foretellers aside from Ava. He might actually be trying to trick them into thinking that Sora's evil. And we even see Maleficent and Pete there which indicate that they're still gonna be involved in this. And then the second, I'm not gonna lie, I'm kinda confused about the second one. Though I have had some friends of mine help me understand. So apparently Sora's in Shibuya, as in where the characters from The World Ends With You are from. Not only that, but Riku is also in the Yazora game that Rex was talking about. So, that's really interesting. How did they get there. Some people think it might be an alternate reality and some people say it involves the same kinda time travel thing that was in Dream Drop Distance. So, I'm really interested to know what's going on. Maybe the next game will begin with Sora meeting up with everyone there that he knew from Dream Drop Distance and some people even think that the next game could also include having to save Sora while also having to defeat Xigbar, which sounds like a cool idea. I gotta admit, as much as I love Kingdom Hearts and it's my favourite story of all time and my favourite piece of entertainment, I think I would really love if they just made one last game to finish tying up all the loose ends. And it would be able to help make sure Sora gets back and gets a true happy ending, including him and Kairi finally getting together and no more of them getting separated. Every story needs and end and this would be a great way to finish up my favourite story of all time. That would honestly make me incredible satisfied as one of the biggest fans of this series. And so, everyone, that was my spoiler review for Kingdom Hearts 3. Thank you all so much for reading, I had a great time talking about this and I can't believe the fact that it finally happened. After all these years, we finally got Kingdom Hearts 3 and I can't wait for the next one to hopefully wrap everything up once and for all. Thank you all for reading, please comment down below to tell me what you think or please tell me what you thought of the game.

My top 5 siblings in anime
Some of the most entertaining siblings to watch are in anime, and these sibling sure do know how to be entertaining as we watch these different shows. And so, I'm counting down my top 5 favourite siblings in all of anime. While some may not always get along in a normal way, in a manor of speaking, they're relationship can still can still carry a great deal of the story and it can always be fun to watch them play off of each other and just watching them be together. And so, let's start and I hope you all like this.
5. Lelouch and Nunnally Lamprouge (Code Geass):
Starting us off at number 5 is the brother and sister of Code Geass, Lelouch and Nunnally Lamprouge. As I've already said before, I wasn't the biggest fan of this show and even some things about these two's relationship is kinda confusing to me, but I still really liked seeing them together. Nunnally is a really sweet girl who really looks up to her brother and Lelouch does really care about his sister and they get along really well together. And Lelouch is always trying to help Nunnally since through tough times and because she's also blind. So seeing that aspect of the show was nice and sweet to see.
4. Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha (Naruto):

At number 4 is one of the more intense sibling rivalry relationships in anime. When Itachi murdered the entire Uchiha clan, Sasuke was determined as anything to kill him no matter what it took. As they met more, the more they were getting stronger and it looked like these two wanted each other dead badly. But when it finally came down to it, Sasuke was the victor in their final battle. Only to be told that Itachi was actually a good guy trying to protect the whole time. After that, I love seeing how protective and a loving brother Itachi is shown to be. Whether it's in flashbacks or seeing him with Sasuke again when he's reanimated.
3. Gohan and Goten (Dragon Ball):

Next up are the two half Saiyan, half human brothers from Earth, Gohan and Goten. After some time when Goku was dead from sacrificing himself in the Cell explosion, Goten was born and Gohan looked after him. Not only that, but he also helped teach Gohan as well, whether it was helping teach Goten martial arts or teaching him how to fly. And I really enjoyed their interactions when they were off training. Seeing them together really is nice and you can tell they really care for each other as brothers.
2. Monkey D. Luffy and Portgaz D. Ace (One Piece):

Coming in close to number 1 is the adoptive brother pair from One Piece, Monkey D. Luffy and Portgaz D. Ace. While both Luffy and Ace may have bee finding it hard to get along at the beginning, they eventually developed a strong bond and became adoptive stepbrothers. When they were still younger, Ace did everything he could to look out for Luffy along with their other stepbrother, Sabo, but I prefer Luffy and Ace more as brothers because I think I enjoy their interactions more. They can be funny together, but also just really enjoyable and really kind together. Even in parts of the show when they're both trying to help each other, like when Luffy tried to save Ace from execution at Marineford.
And my number 1 favourite siblings in anime are... Edward and Alphonse Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist):
And finally at number 1 is the brother relationship of the Fullmetal Alchemist series, Ed and Al. Unlike a lot of other sibling relationships in other anime, this one takes up the entire story of Fullmetal Alchemist. And they're a pair that're always together and work off each other really well. And they're both brother who're always looking out for each other and are always interacting off of each other. Plus, they work so well together that the two of them are pretty famous together and known as the Elric brother. That name's used in a ton of places around Amestress. Ed is also great for always looking out for Al and they did always help each other in whatever they were doing and they did a lot of training together and studying when it came to learning about alchemy. And that's all why Edward and Alphonse Elric are my favourite siblings in anime. And so, everyone, those are my pick for my top 5 siblings in anime. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think or, if you're interested, please tell me your favourite siblings in anime.

Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer
So, everyone, we've finally got ourselves an official trailer for Spider-Nab: Far From Home. Like I said in my countdown of my most anticipated releases of this year, this was close to the top. I think Homecoming is by far the best portrayal of Spider-Man we've ever gotten so having another one of those sounds awesome and this trailer is really awesome. Tom Holland still seems like the perfect Spider-Man and he's really fun here. We get to see a bit of Nick Fury and the rest of the cast returning from the first movie. But the biggest addition to this cast is Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio, and he looks amazing here too. It looks like we're gonna be getting other villains in this too like Hydroman, Moltenman and Sandman. That could be cool, but I mostly want to see Mysterio as the focus for the central antagonist. There's a lot in this trailer that I liked and so, here it is and I hope you all like this.

Punisher: Season 2 Teaser Trailers
So, I'm honestly kinda surprised that the Netflix shows are still going considering Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Daredevil were recently cancelled. I woulda thought that would mean almost all of them would be cancelled, especially since the most acclaimed one, Daredevil, is gone. Also, yes, I know I still have reviews to make of Luke Cage: Season 2, Iron Fist: Season 2 and Daredevil: Season 3, I'll get to them eventually. But, this time around we're getting a second season for the Punisher. I think this could be good. The first season was pretty enjoyable and having it back could be good too. It also looks like we're gonna see Jigsaw properly this time considering that was confirmed in the last season. And I want to see more of Frank's story, although I'm hoping that it doesn't take forever to get into like the first season, which was really my main problem with that season. But it could be good and it's coming out on the 18th of January, which is surprisingly early. Anyway, here they are and I hope you all like this.

2018 recap and 2019 look ahead
So, like I always do with these whole lookback and look ahead entries with these year entries, I like to use these as a way to talk about my life and also the future of this blog. For this blog in 2018, it was great that I managed to get a lot of ideas and reviews out there and I'm really happy with the way that turned out. It wasn't as successful as other years because the person who shared my posts before stopped in August 2017, but thank you all for sticking with me with who is still reading after all this time. Plus, 2019 will mark the fifth year I've properly been doing blogging, which I'm really proud of. The fact that I've been doing this for this long has been making me really happy and I've made so many blog entries I was really excited to do. Not just in 2018, I mean in general. I feel the same way with my YouTube channel too. Personally, like, in my personal life, this hasn't been that great a year, but I don't really want to explain why. And I'm excited for a lot of blog work in 2019 with doing more reviews and showing off when I get Kingdom Hearts 3. Also, this is something that's really important. I'm gonna be rebooting my entire Daniel Danger story. I've been thinking of so many ideas and there were so many things I wasn't happy with in regards to what my last storyline had. I've been thinking of it nonstop for a long time and I'm hoping to start it this year. The first one will be entry number 900. So when I get there, I'm gonna delete the ones I did before, which, I know will sound weird after I spent so much time in 2016 building up to that climax, but I decided to do it like this. I has a lot of new ideas for it and what I had didn't make sense with what I had already done and I wasn't that pleased with what I had done before. This will be the definitive version of my Daniel Danger story and I can't wait. I'm hoping the last story of it will be blog entry number 1000. Not sure when it'll start, but I can't wait for it and I hope you all feel the same. But, overall, I'm looking forward to a lot in 2019 and hopefully, in terms of this blog, it'll be the best year ever. And, like I said with last year's one, if you like this blog, please share it with people you know, I'd love to be able to get a wider audience and entertain more people. Same with m YouTube channel, if you haven't subscribed, please do and please tell people you know. And so, with that, thank you all for a great year of this blog. Thank you all so much for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think.

My top 10 releases of 2019
So, like what I did last year, I'm gonna be counting down my top 10 most anticipated releases of 2019. And this will be counting anything coming out of 2019, whether it be a new movie, game, anime, manga, DVD or anything like that. Like I said last year, there's way too many different things from 2019 I'm excited for, so I decided to talk about my favourite and most anticipated that have been confirmed for this year. And so, let's begin and I hope you all like this.
10. Naruto Shippuden: Season 9:
![Naruto Shippuden Box 35 (Episodes 445-458) [DVD]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91TXEPdkvpL._SY445_.jpg)
(Sorry I couldn't get an actual picture for it. It hasn't been announced yet.) Still though, this is the second last season DVD of Naruto Shippuden. I would say that it's not higher on the list because it's contains more annoying filler, which really damages the anime despite how much I love it. If Naruto as a whole didn't have so much annoying filler, this could be something I'd want to watch nonstop because the story itself, as in the manga content, is what people watch these anime for. Not some boring and long-running filler that really gets in the way of the story. But, with that, there's still more actual manga material in this, so there's that to look forward to. Plus, the last one could be released in 2019 too, we just haven't been told that yet.
9. The end of Fairy Tail:
Fairy Tail had already begun its final season in 2018 and it was said to have 55-59 episodes. They started in October and they've been releasing a new episode every Sunday since then. It's the same thing they did with Dragon Ball Super. I've been following it since it started and it's most likely going to conclude in 2019.
8. Dragon Ball Super: Collection 6 - ???:
![Dragon Ball Super Part 6 (Episodes 66-78) [DVD]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81VxsbJLCdL._SY445_.jpg)
At number 8 is the collection DVDs of Dragon Ball Super. This anime's been escalating in quality for a long time and now, the Tournament Of Power might be one of my favourite anime arcs of all time. And now, we see that the collection DVDs are continuing. I have all of them up to speed and I'm looking forward to see more of the anime in English Dub. This DVD looks like it might wrap up the Goku Black and Zamazu Saga.
7. Captain Marvel:

The first of the M.C.U movies on here is the first one being released in 2019, Captain Marvel. The reason it's not higher on the list is because none of the trailers so far have really impressed me. I think they've been pretty cool, but nothing mind-blowing. I still have faith in it though given the M.C.U's amazing track record, and I'm really hoping Nick Fury will play a big role in this movie and not just a small role where he disappears about halfway through. And I'm really looking forward to seeing Brie Larson's take on this character.
6. The Lion King:

When it comes to Disney and their live action remakes, none of them have been as exciting to me than their remake of my personal favourite movie they've made. The one thing I'm curious about is the fact that the Lion King is an all animal movie. There's no people in it. So having a whole movie centred on just computer generated animals could get kinda distracting. I still have faith in them, especially Jon Favreau, but I guess we'll just have to see in just a few months.
5. Jump Force:

Now we're moving onto video games, and the first of these is the big anime crossover game for Shonen Jump, Jump Force. From the looks of it so far, this could have every single Shonen character in and its graphics look absolutely stunning. The fact that it's brining so many characters I love together in one place like this is so awesome and I can't wait to experience it. I know there was the J Stars Victory Vs. game, but this looks like it could be better with more characters and a better gameplay. Plus, it has the three biggest anime protagonists of all time in one place again with Goku, Luffy and Naruto.
4. Toy Story 4:

This is another one I'm still kinda hesitant on. I mean, I still love the first three Toy Story movies, but I sorta wish they stayed with that because, like everyone else, I'm sorta wondering if a fourth Toy Story movie is really necessary. The first three were a perfect trilogy so having another one, especially seeing how the last one seemed to end on a perfect note, I dunno, I just sorta think they shoulda left it like that because a new one could break that perfection. Still, this could be a good movie and I'm pretty interested to know what these characters are gonna do next.
3. Spider-Man: Far From Home:

At number 3 is the sequel to my favourite representation of my favourite superhero of all time. Given how incredible I thought Homecoming was, I'm really excited to see Spider-Man's adventures after they do the reverse in Endgame. Mysterio is also gonna be the villain here, which is really cool, and I just really want to see more of Spider-Man considering how much I love this version of him. They could have so many possibilities here, especially since Peter is actually getting some new suits like a red and black suit and a black stealth suit.
2. Avengers: Endgame:

Coming in close to number 1 is the surprisingly secret sequel to Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame. Given how massive and incredible Infinity War was, it's kinda surprising that we know very little about this new movie. I have a feeling that they'll want to keep a lot of this movie a secret considering there's probably a lot happening in it. But, considering how Infinity War has the same thing but pulled it off nearly perfectly, this could be something just as cool. I'm really interested to know how they're gonna reverse what happened at the end of Infinity War and this will probably have even more tragic moments like a lot of the old heroes dying.
And my number 1 release of 2019 is... Kingdom Hearts 3:

I know this is probably hilarious given how this was the exact same last year when I put Kingdom Hearts 3 as my most anticipated thing of last year since they announced it would be out in 2018, but then it got pushed back to the 29th of January 2019. But, come on, if you've known me for long enough, then you know that I love no piece of entertainment more than Kingdom Hearts, and the fact that Kingdom Hearts 3, which is what everything has been building to this whole time and the fact that it's gonna be out in January, I've just never been this excited for anything before in my life. Also, just something I want to mention about it, on my YouTube channel, I'm doing reviews for the Kingdom Hearts games and then on the 28th of January, A.K.A, the day before Kingdom Hearts 3 comes out, I'm releasing a montage video that I'm working on to celebrate it. I'm also going to be recording myself getting Kingdom Hearts 3 and putting that up too along with something else that I have planned. What else can I say? It's Kingdom Hearts 3, how much more excited can I be? I've already preordered my copy of the Deluxe Edition and I know I'll be there as soon as the door opens in my local GameStop. And so, everyone, those are my picks for my top 10 releases of 2019, Thank you all so much for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think.
