My top 5 worst filler in anime

When it comes to anime, by far my least favourite aspect of any is the filler. When the series turns away from the manga content or real story in general. And I usually hate a lot of them. Not only are they a waste of time, but they can also be annoying to get through when we're trying to watch the actual manga story line. And so, here I'm counting down my top 5 least favourite in various anime. So, let's begin and I hope you all like this.
5. Eclipse Celestial Spirits (Fairy Tail):

Starting us off at number 5 is this needless filler right after the Grand Magic Games. While Fairy Tail has had some cases of needless filler, this is by far the worst with so many stupid fights and, for some reason, some consisting of Gray having a dance off with some members of this rebellious group of Celestial Spirits who have begun to act on this own because of an eclipse.
4. Warship Island (One Piece):

Even a masterpiece of a story like One Piece has it's fair share of flaws in the anime and by far it's worst is this anime filler arc with it being a boring ride the whole time. While on a stop to this island helping a kid, he Straw Hats are forced to fight a super boring and annoying villain which takes up too much time.
3. Rebecca (Yu-Gi-Oh!):

While certain aspects of filler in Yu-Gi-Oh are actually pretty enjoyable like the Raphael and Seal Of Orichalcos and, to a more personal extent, Capsule Monsters, some have been a drag to get through and by far the worst is with Rebecca. Nothing more than a brat who's only purpose in the show is to be annoying. Doing absolutely nothing in the story aside from complaining and hoping to make Yugi her boyfriend, any time spent with this kid is insufferable.
2. The Garlic Jr. Saga (Dragon Ball Z):

Coming in close to number 1 is the filler arc that makes absolutely no sense in terms of the plot of Dragon Ball Z unless you've watched the original Dragon Ball Z movies. If you haven't, you won't even know who Garlic Jr. is or what he's talking about in terms of getting revenge on Goku and Gohan. And this was right after the Frieza Saga, so after that incredible story, we get this huge waste of time with a lot of the main characters turning into vampires and the show introducing one of the most annoying characters ever with Maron as Krillin's girlfriend who pretty much runs of with any other guy or take advantage of him.
And my number 1 least favourite anime filler is... Every single darn annoying filler episode (Naruto/Naruto Shippuden):

Yeah, when it comes to Naruto, I love it, but the filler that it's infected with makes it so hard to get through. By far the worst aspect of this anime is the amount of filler that taints the story. Not only has it way too many for starters, but it also consist of filler during canon episodes which makes it insufferable to get through and hard to get through the canon content too. And the arcs can either be way too long, have needlessly stupid plots or have the characters do stupid things. While I may find one or two from the original Naruto series to be somewhat enjoyable, that doesn't mean they're good. So I'm not putting one in particular episode arc here, I'm putting every single filler episode because of how much they can ruin the experience of watching this incredible story. And so, everyone, those are my picks for my top 5 worst filler in anime. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what think or, if you like anime, please comment which anime filler is your least favourite.

My top 5 Spider-Man villains I want to see in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

With the recent news of Spider-Man returning to the M.C.U, I decided to talk about the Spider-Man villains who I would adore seeing a live action adaptation for in the M.C.U. And the idea of Tom Holland's Spider-Man fighting some of these guys in the M.C.U of all things makes the concepts all the more exciting. And so, let's begin and I hope you all like this.
5. Carnage:

A Spider-Man villain never seen before on the big screen, even though he was teased in the Venom movie last year, having this serial killer in the M.C.U could make the stakes insanely high considering how violent Carnage always is. I would probably want to see a new version of the character and seeing whoever that would be in the M.C.U going up with Spider-Man, who may have to team up with Venom to stop him, opens the door to seeing a lot of awesome moments in live action.
4. Kingpin:

While Kingpin is established in the M.C.U already in the Netflix Daredevil show, I think now is the perfect time for the Netflix heroes to enter the movies after all this time. Now that all the Netflix shows have been cancelled, they could still live on in the movies and everything about that idea alone is amazing. And seeing Tom Holland's Spider-Man going up against Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin could make for one interesting contrast. Especially if we see him team up with Daredevil to take him down again.
3. Kraven:

Probably the most likely Spider-Man villain who's gonna be in the next movie due to rumors and even Jon Watts himself saying he wants Kraven to be the next villain, this could have a lot of potential to it. Now that Peter's secret is out, it seems most likely that someone will want to hire Kraven to kill him and he begins to but as Spider-Man keeps winning in fights against him, he could become more desperate and wants to try even harder to kill him. As I said in my Far From Home review, I think that if they got Hugh Jackman for the role, it would be a perfect fit. Especially if they take inspiration from the Kraven's Last Hunt story.
2. Venom:

Coming in close to number 1 is the Lethal Protector. While Sony may already have their own version of Venom in their Marvel universe, I think we'd all want to forget about that movie last year. But having this character finally join the M.C.U could make the Spider-Man films slightly more brutal and take an interesting turn. Especially considering Marvel could finally give Venom the live action treatment done right that he deserves. Venom has been around for years and has been one of the greatest Spider-Man villains ever created, especially having unique powers. Not just a lot of Spider-Man's powers, but also some of his own as well as the fact that he would already know who Spider-Man is. I know that now everyone knows who Spider-Man is after Mysterio revealed it in Far From Home, but Venom knowing it in particular, especially in a live action movie in the M.C.U could make him all the more threatening.
And the number 1 Spider-Man villain I want to see in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is... The Green Goblin:

And finally at number 1 is Norman Osborn's deranged and psychopathic Green Goblin. Easily Spider-Man's most famous villain, I think having this classic Spidey villain in the M.C.U could finally make him more comic accurate than he's ever been. Yes, he may have been done right in the 2002 Spider-Man films, but I think he could be more accurate here with technology at his disposal. And they might finally be able to give him a comic accurate look with using C.G.I for the mask. As for who I would imagine to play him, I'm not really sure, but seeing a great actor bring this villain to the M.C.U and fighting Spider-Man just makes me really giddy. Who knows, they may even get Willem Dafoe to come back. He was perfect in the original trilogy and they did get J.K Simmons to come back as J. Jonah Jameson, so it's not entirely impossible. I'd really love to see him again. But even if they can't get him back, just seeing some other actor to bring this guy to the big screen in the M.C.U would be really awesome. And all that is why the Green Goblin is the number 1 Spider-Man villain I want to see in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And so, everyone those are my picks for the 5 Spider-Man villains I want to see in the M.C.U. Thank you all for reading, please comment down below to tell me what you think or tell me what villain you want to see.

Second Frozen 2 trailer

So, everyone, the second trailer for the next Disney sequel is here, the one for Frozen 2. I have a feeling this will be a bit like Toy Story 4 this year where people might feel that it's unnecessary but it'll surprise us and feel like it fits really well into the story of Frozen. Also, this and Toy Story were both in Kingdom Hearts 3 in January, so that's another one of the reasons why I'm excited. As well as the fact that I'm super excited to just see a sequel to Frozen. On top of that, the contents of the trailer kinda make it look like this is gonna be some sorta fantasy action adventure, and that's kinda interesting for a Disney animated movie and I'm really curious to see what they do with it. Anyway, here it is and I hope you all like it.

My top 5 Tara Strong voice acting performances

If you're a fan of animation, there's a chance you've heard Tara Strong in anything animated at least once. In case you don't know, Tara Strong is easily one of the most talented voice actresses around having a voice that can fit any character no matter who or what they are. Her range in terms of what she can do with any character is limitless and she's always incredible and entertaining in everything she's in. And so, here, I decided to count down my top 5 characters thats Tara Strong's voiced. And so, let's begin and I hope you all like this.
5. Dil Pickles (Rugrats):

Starting us off at number 5 is the younger brother of main character Tommy, Dil Pickles. It may seem kinda strange to put a character like this on here considering he only makes noises of a baby, but what puts him on here is Tara's delivery and the fact that it's perfectly in the moment and no one would blame you if you thought they actually got a real baby to do his voice. That alone should just tell ya how incredible her talents are.
4. Truffles (Chowder):

This pixie character is one that allowed Tara Strong to show she could portray mean and frightening characters. Truffles is a cranky and bossy old lady who wants nothing more than to be left alone to do whatever she wants. But still also being a somewhat voice of reason in the kitchen considering Chowder and Mung are crazy and silly themselves and Schnitzel can be bugged by them too, but does also just go along with it at points. And the way Strong portrays Truffles's emotions through her constant screaming is always entertaining in every scene she's in.
3. Bubbles (The Powerpuff Girls):

Easily the happiest of the three Powerpuff Girls, Bubbles has one of the sweetest personalities you'll ever see in an animated character. Tara perfectly captures her constant kindness and happy mood. But, that doesn't mean Bubbles won't try to fight hardcore every once in a while, still though her adorable little voice and attitude is easily what makes her so likeable and Strong nails all her emotions perfectly through a high pitched voiced.
2. Ben Tennyson (Ben 10):

Coming in close to number 1 is the ten year old weilder of the Omnitrix, Ben Tennyson. Like I said, it doesn't matter who Tara Strong is voicing, she can do no wrong when it comes to her roles, even if that role is of the opposite gender. Ben is a character who may feel slightly rebellious, but that doesn't mean he isn't super heroic. Not only does Tara Strong make her voice perfectly fitting for a ten year old boy, but she also captures all the delivery of Ben's dialogue and naivety.
And my number 1 favourite Tara Strong performance is... Timmy Turner (Fairly OddParents):

And finally at number 1 is the young male youth of this classic Nickelodeon cartoon, Timmy Turner. While some of Strong's other performance might feel more impressive or realistic, none have been as entertaining as Timmy. Timmy may have the imagination and personality of any other animated character, but the way Tara is able to deliver all of Timmy's emotions while still having a sense of wittiness was what always made Timmy so enjoyable and unique. Sure, Strong may have also done Poof's voice in the show too, but Timmy himself is by far her better perfomance and best voice work of all time. And all that is wy Timmy Turner is my favourite Tara Strong perfomance ever. And so, everyone, those are my picks for my top 5 Tara Strong voice acting performances. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think or please tell me which character Tara Strong has voiced has been your favourite.

My top 10 masters in anime

One of the many things that a lot of anime have in common is that the main character is almost guarantied to have a mentor to teach them some moves or show them how to use their current abilities better. And a lot of them have shown to be some of best characters in their series. Not just because they teach the protagonists things, but also because of who they are as characters themselves and how entertaining they are. And so, let's begin and I hope you all like this.
10. Urahara (Bleach):

Starting us off at number 10 is Mr. Hat And Clogs himself, Urahara. While this guy may seem like an incredibly fun character, which he is, his methods in teaching are kinda crazy. He was the one who properly trained Ichigo when he was going off to save Rukia. Mainly teaching him about how to use his energy with his Zanpakuto.
9. Bisky (Hunter X Hunter):

While this mentor to Gon and Killua may look like a normal sweet little girl, she's actually an elder woman who teaches Gon and Killua the power of Nen. And, not only can she control Nen herself, but she's also capable of fighting firecely and is able to transform into an adult version of herself to make herself stronger like Gon.
8. Genkai (Yu Yu Hakusho):

Another mentor figure created by Yoshihiro Tagashi, this old woman is the main teacher to Yusuke throughout the whole runtime of Yu Yu Hakusho. Not only that, but she even has a deep past with one of the villains of the series, Toguro, originally being partners with him until he threw his humanity away to keep his youth forever and she began to find a way to stop him. And when Yusuke came around, she began to teach him better uses of his spirit attacks, even teaching him the Spirit Wave.
7. Izumi (Fullmetal Alchemist):

At number 7 is the alchemist who taught real alchemy to Ed and Al. After Ed and Al lost their mother, they asked Izumi to teach them proper alchemy. Despite already having a bit of a tragic backstory herself with trying to use alchemy to bring her unborn child back to life, she took them under her wing and began trainning them, even if the start of the trainning was just as bizzare as you'd imagine. As a teacher, Izumi may seem a bit crazy at times, even going overboard when it comes to disciplining Ed and Al, but she's shown to be extremely knowledgeable when it comes to using alchemy and has shown the two boys incredible care as well.
6. All Might (My Hero Academia):

Known to the whole world as the greatest hero ever, this now retired hero is a teacher at U.A as well as the real mentor to Deku. After he got a huge injury from All For One, he decided to pass his quirk to another. That eventually becoming Deku who inherited his One For All quirk and has been trainning Deku to use it ever since. You'd almost expect a character like this guy to have an egogist side given how popular he is in his world, but, no, he's stands by what he stands for and is incredibly kind and wise when it comes to helping Deku in whatever way he can.
5. King Kai (Dragon Ball):

Now we get into the series with, probably, the most popular mentors in anime, Dragon Ball. And the first one on here is the joke loving mentor to Goku, King Kai. Not only is this guy a deity who's able to observe everything everywhere, but he's also the one who taught Goku some of his most famous moves like the Spirit Bomb and the Kaioken.
4. Silvers Rayleigh (One Piece):

This former member of Gold Roger's crew not only holds the title of "The Dark King", but is also one of the strongest characters in One Piece. Not only is his own strength incredible, but he's also a master when it comes to the use of Haki and is the one who was the mentor to Luffy during the two year time skip. Rayleigh taught Luffy how to use his Haki and to become stronger by doing so. This also helped Luffy become a stronger fighter as well as how to use Gear Fourth.
3. Master Roshi (Dragon Ball):

Easily the most popular master in anime, Master Roshi has made a huge impression when it comes to teachers and senseis in anime. And his comedy and perverted nature is one easy reason as to why you should like him, but I like him much more when he's being serious as I might have said before. Being a more prominent figure in the original Dragon Ball series, he's still just as popular nowadays as well. Especially with the way he trained Goku and Krillin and is even the one who showed them the Kamehameha.
2. Jiraiya (Naruto):

Coming in close to number 1 is one of the Legendary Sannin from Naruto, Jiraiya. From one perverted old master to another, Jiraiya has quite the reputation in the series, as well as quite the life given everything that's happened to him. Not only was he given the title of one of the Sannin, but he's also been the sensei of so many strong shinobi like Nagato, Yahiko, Konan and, of course, Naruto himself. As a teacher, he's taught Naruto so much, mainly the summoning jutsu and the Rasengan, as well as being the one who trained Naruto for 3 years after Sasuke abandoned the village.
And my number 1 favourite master in anime is... Kakashi (Naruto):

And finally at number 1 is the teacher of Team 7 and the one who always hides his face behind a mask, Kakashi Hatake. Easily the most famous of all the Naruto teachers, Kakashi time as the sensei for team 7 is some of the most fun in the original Naruto series with him caring deeply for all of them and will do whatever it takes to protect them and teach them. While he's not necessarily their teacher anymore, he still has a lot still going on. He even became the Hokage for a while and was the one who helped in the final fight with Kaguya. He's also most famous for an old nickname he had, the Copycat Ninja given how he was given a Sharingan by his supposedly dead friend, Obito. He's also invented some incredible jutsu like the Lightning Blade. And his interactions with his students are not only very entertaining, but also really interesting as well with what they be talking about or just in the ways he'd be teaching them different techniques. And all that is why Kakashi is my master in anime. And so, everyone, those are my picks for my top 10 masters in anime. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think or tell me who your favourite master in anime is.

Second Kingdom Hearts 3 Re:Mind trailer

So, yesterday, the second trailer for the Re:Mind DLC for Kingdom Hearts 3 came out and I was so hyped for it. And the contents of it are already incredible. We get some more cutscenes, as well as new Keyblades, especially confirmation of Sora getting the Oblivion Key, which is one I really wanted to see back. I mean, if he has the Oathkeeper, he has to have the Oblivion. We even get a cool scene of Sora fighting off against Xigbar, or Luxu I guess you could say too, and I'm interested to know where it is they're fighting. And, I even managed to do my very first reaction video on YouTube channel on it and it was so cool. And so, here's the trailer and I hope you all like this.

My top 5 teams in anime

When it comes to anime, you know the majority of them have characters that rely a lot on their comrades to help them win battles. And there's tons of ways they always have it done in their own teams. And so, here I'm gonna count down my top 5 teams in anime. This will determine by the teams as they are as individuals, as well as how they fair with their teammates. And so, let's begin and I hope you all like this.
5. Team Urameshi (Yu Yu Hakusho):

Starting us off is the team that regularly deals with demons. After Yusuke defeated Hiei and Kurama, they joined him and, along with Yusuke's rival, Kuwabara, they teamed up to deal with demons, like during the attack on the castle, rescuing Hiei's sister, the Dark Tournament or during the fight with Shinobu. While Yusuke and Hiei may find it hard to get along with anyone, they all know they need to depend on each other no matter who the opponents are.
4. Universe 7 (Dragon Ball Super):

During the Tournament Of Power, Goku rallied up the strongest fighters he knew to compete for the Tournament. Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, Androids 17 and 18, Master Roshi, Tien and Frieza all teamed up to fight against other fighters from other universes to fight for their survival. And they even managed to get Frieza to help them out. That alone is crazy. Although not as crazy as the fights themselves with them teaming up to fight fighters with insane powers. And their combinations were strong enough to eliminate tons of enemies.
3. The Straw Hat Pirates (One Piece):

While the world of One Piece has tons pirate crews sailing the ocean, none have been as fun to watch as the infamous Straw Hats led by Captain Monkey D. Luffy. Its crew may also be small compared to other crews too, but they all know how to work off each other and stand by each other no matter what. Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, Franky and Brook all follow Luffy's lead with their own abilities or special powers pushing forward all in the hopes to achieve their own individual dreams. This may not be the most popular pirate crew in fiction, but it certainly is one of the most fun.
2. The Seven Deadly Sins (The Seven Deadly Sins):
Coming in close to number 1 is the team of once disgraced knights that fought to protect the kingdom of Liones, The Seven Deadly Sins. While the team themselves may not be perfect when it comes to being actual heroes, there's no denying just how much they care about the kingdom and its people. Each of them have a unique weapon of their own called the Sacred Treasures along with also having some ridiculously broken abilities. And I can't wait to see what this group does in the future.
And my number 1 favourite team in anime is... Team 7 (Naruto):

And finally at number 1 is the main ninja team from the world of Naruto, Team 7. Every student who goes to the Ninja Academy is assigned to a team of three with their fellow students and an individual teacher for each team. And Team 7 is the one Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura were assigned to along with Boruto, Sarada and Mitsuki later on. Team 7 has been the team with tremendous power and always fighting tons of enemies. While Sai and Yamato are technically members themselves and I look forward to seeing what Boruto, Sarada, Mitsuki and Konahamaru do in the future, the best formation of the team so far has definetly been Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi. With all of them using their powers to take down rogue ninja or even god-like enemies. The team's dynamic is great too with wanting to be their for each other or save the other. It may not have always been like that, especially after Sasuke went rogue, but they all still have great chemistry with each other nonetheless. And when they all eventually work together for anything, it's some of my favourite teamwork in all of anime. And all that is why Team 7 is my number 1 favourite team in anime. And so, everyone, those are my picks for my top 5 teams in all of anime. Thank you all for reading and please comment down belong to tell me what you think or, if you like anime, please tell me your favourite team.

Sora at the Disney Store

So there's actually a Disney Store in London and some day recently, I did something similar to something I did before. I dressed up as Sora and got tons of different photos and tried to have the same position as Sora in the games. They even have an actual big key for the store and I was allowed hold it and get some photos with it and they came out great. And I was really glad that I was able edit them all into a video for YouTube which I just posted. And so, here it is and I hope you all like it.

My top 5 portrayals of Spider-Man

And so, everyone, we've actually arrived at my 900th entry and I'm so happy I've made it this far and I already know what I'm gonna do for my 1000th one. I know that's probably thinking too far ahead, but hey, what can I say? Anyway, for my 900th entry, I decided to take a look at my favourite superhero ever and count down my top 5 actors who've played him. Seeing as Spider-Man has had so many amazing actors to play him, it was hard to narrow down just 5 of them. But, thankfully I did and I love these guy's performances as the characters and so many more, so let's get to them and I hope you all like this.
5. Christopher Daniel Barnes:
Starting us off at number 5 is probably the most iconic voice for Spider-Man from the 90's animated series. While it may feel dated nowadays, there's no denying that this version of Spider-Man is one of the most famous animated iteration of the characters and I wouldn't be surprised if this was the most famous Spider-Man voice actor. Plus, not only could Christopher do a great job at giving personality to Spider-Man in the early 90's, but he also supplied all the elements needed for great Spider-Man back in the day that made this version of the character so likable.
4. Nadji Jeter:

While this may not be Peter Parker Spider-Man and while we may not of had a ton of versions of Miles Morales outside of the comics, I think Miles Morales himself is the second best version of Spider-Man considering there're quite a lot of other versions besides Peter. While Shamiek Moore was also amazing and fantastic as Miles in Into The Spider-Verse, my personal favourite version of the character is Nadji Jeter as Miles in the PS4 Spider-Man game from last year. Sure, he didn't become Spider-Man until the end of the game and we didn't see him in the black and red suit he has in the comics, but I imagine he'll do all that in the potential sequel. And as for this version of Miles, I loved him and Nadji was fantastic as him. Miles himself was also really well portrayed in the game and really sympathetic and I hope to see more of him in the sequel game which do also hope happens.
3 and 2. Yuri Lowenthal and Josh Keaton:

It's honestly hard for me to decide which of these two actors I like more as Spider-Man, but something that's not hard to say is that both of them are the perfect voices for Spidey. In terms of video games, last year's PS4 Spider-Man game was easily the best Spider-Man game ever and in terms of animated shows, The Spectacular Spider-Man is by far the best with both portraying the character Spider-Man perfectly. And both Yuri and Josh voiced Spider-Man perfectly as well with bringing a lot of heart to the character while sill making him funny, likable, sympathetic, relatable and entertaining all at the same time. In one moment he could be trying to help his friends and supporting his loved ones and then another moment, he can be dishing out tons of quips to villains and fighting them with a lot of fun. And both Lowenthal and Keaton do an amazing job and I really can't decide which one I like better.
And my number 1 favourite portrayal of Spider-Man is... Tom Holland:
And finally at number 1 is the English actor who not only proved he was able to be just like and just as good as the other actors, but possibly the best out of all of them. Whether it's in the suit or outside it, Tom Holland's take on Peter Parker is likable in every scene and delivers exactly what Spider-Man needs and more. Having finally being a character in the M.C.U, this version of Spider-Man could be more like the comics than a lot of the other incarnations. Not only with the accurate looking suit, but also with the interactions with a lot of the other characters, especially Tony. Tom can also switch perfectly between being a nervous and awkward teenager to a quipping and cocky superhero. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have heart to the character and he do it along with plenty of depth and relatability. In terms of what I could want out of a perfect version of the character of Spidey, Tom Holland can do fantastically. And all that is why Tom Holland is my favourite portrayal of Spider-Man. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think and please tell your favourite version of Spider-Man
