Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure (2001 Video)

Love it

[10/10 · 8 April 2023]

This was my favorite childhood movie. And I knew all the songs by heart. It's just a really heartwarming movie that completes the original the same way Camila Cabello used to complete Shawn Mendes.

There's a bit of action, drama, action and even romance on this. There's everything for anyone to enjoy. And Jodi Benson's vocals are as good as in The Little Mermaid.

The story is also a great warning for modern teenagers to not try to be an adult too quick, and to not trust strangers. But the way it was masterfully crafted is phenomenal. On a second and third rewatch, you notice details you haven't seen before, and you get to know the songs more.

10/10 love it.

Omori (2020 Video Game)

A really mature but not innapropriate game

[10/10 · 8 April 2023]

This is probably the only Rated M game I actually like. The rating is based off the topic manner adressed, but there's nothing innapropriate like explicit sexual scenes or etc. Since it's mainly a game about mental health.

The story is extremely dark, but what makes it interesting to me is that it's realistic. Anything that happened in Omori could happen in real life, and that's what makes it so good. It's about a child's coping mechanism after he accidentally pushed his sister down the stairs and she died. It's a tragedy, but the way the story is told makes you realize that the main character still isn't a criminal. He absolutely didn't mean to do that, but yet he still sees himself as a killer, and it's really sad. I felt a lot of emotions for the characters especially since it was set on a realistic settings. Some endings have a lot of TW, but it's to be expected.

Overall an awesome game.

EarthBound (1994 Video Game)

A really dark and lighthearted adventure

[10/10 · 8 April 2023]

I knew this game was a classic and it impacted the RPG genre a lot, but I didn't know how good it was until I played it for myself when it was released on the Nintendo Switch. And I will say this: This game is a masterpiece.

What I love is how the game is presented as a cute and lighthearted game, and it has pretty wholesome moments in it, but the more you keep going into it, the more it gets stranger, and stranger, and you are wondering how far can the human imagination go. It tackles frankly dark themes, but from a child perpesctive, and there's a lot of stuff I wouldn't have gotten as a child.

If you are into story driven games with some disturbing elements, this is for you.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (2017 Video Game)

The DLC is worth it, the Online works

[10/10 · 8 April 2023]

I will be completely honest, the fact this game still gets updates completely baffles me. The stages already in the game were already great, but then they added an amazing DLC with new characters, and some new tracks that are as good as the originls. This game is a living legend, and I don't think any other games can compare to it. This game was the main reason I wanted a Nintendo Switch, even without the added content, and now the added content makes it even better!

Furthermore, many videogames have trouble with their Online system, but this one actually works decently well. I haven't gotten too much issues with it and these days it's rare. 10/10.

Super Mario Maker 2 (2019 Video Game)

The troll levels

[10/10 · 8 April 2023]

The troll levels mechanics are so good. We got incredible icons like Please just do better by Carl Sagan 42, thwomp suc by Bearware and ofc some other masterpieces like Wagon world. This game is full of JANK, and Nintendo should stop deleting these levels but still, they are just so fun to see. And besides the troll levels, there's also the completely normal platforming levels, and they are so fun. But yeah, I love the garbo and Little Timmy sometimes it's just that enough to give you a smile. Oh yeah, and besides that, I guess there's also the music levels, and the janky glitches. Overall, the glitchfest will never end. Nor.

My Hero Academia: Deku vs. Gentle Criminal (2020) Season 4, Episode 21

OMG that episode is so good

[10/10 · 8 April 2023]

The whole fight is honestly a big step for Deku's character developpement. It's the episode where he finally fights someone who isn't just a supervillain, but just a normal dude who wants to wreak havoc. The animation is just so good, the fight, the music, the superpowers, augh give me more of that please. I felt a lot of emotions during this fight, and quite frankly I believe this is one of the best in Season 4, maybe after the Eri episode, because that fight was so unexpected, Deku just fighting a dude drinking tea, it's super creative. I also love La Brava she's like omg so funny, and like omg love this 10/10. Now that's what I call entairtainment.

Kingdom Hearts II (2005 Video Game)

An unforgettable journey

[10/10 · 8 April 2023]

This game has a really deep meaning to me. As a huge Disney fan, it was like it was made for me. I like the two first games, since this one is the third one in the franchise (don't let the title mislead you) but oh my God, this takes the cake as the best one in the series. I never felt that much emotions playing a videogame in my entire life, and even when I replay it time and times again, I feel those same emotions again. It's funny, sad, sometimes the difficulty is insane but you feel like you accomplished something when you defeat those hard bosses, the choice of Disney worlds is really good, the story is confusing but it makes it so good at the same time. And my personal favorite part is the prologue, I cry EVERYTIME. I could recommend this game to anyone, even if you don't like Disney movies, the plot is mature enough for adults to enjoy, while the Disney worlds are still fun to explore. They are more linear than in KH1, but it makes the combat more fun imo. 10/10 masterpiece.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (2019– )

The animation

[7/10 · 8 April 2023]

I will be real, I don't find the plot that interesting. And Tanjiro is not really a character I can click with. I never been that indifferent to a main character and it's pretty rare. I like Inosuke and Zenitsu tho, they are both funny. That said tho, the main reason I watch this show is because of the animation. It's beautiful. Every fight feels like a work of art, the movement and the motions are just out of this world, and even as someone who don't really like the plot, I can appreciate the phenomenal work that has been put into those. Everytime there's going to be a fight scene I absolutely know it's going to be good. It's the only moments this show hype me. The humour is decent tho, sometimes I got a good laugh.

Emily of New Moon (2007)

It adapts primarly the first book

[9/10 · 8 April 2023]

So first of all, Emily of New Moon is my favorite novel of all time, so I was completely excited to see that there was an anime adaptation of it. The animation was pretty good and I loved how they animated most of the iconic scenes of the book. However, I would say it's only a good adaptation of the FIRST book, since it skipped most of the second and didn't put much of the third, so if you expect scenes from those, well you will be disappointed. That said, the adaptation of the first book is pretty great. However, I would still recommend to read the books before watching the anime, since well you will only get some bits of it in the anime.

My Hero Academia (2016– )

Izuku's developpement and the cast

[10/10 · 8 April 2023]

Izuku Midoriya is not only my favorite character in the show, but pretty much in any media I've watched. His story is compelling and he's extremely likeable. I love also the more realistic approach they gave his character for the latest seasons, he feels absolutely authentic. I can't wait for the next season to see the rest of his journey. As of the rest of the cast, I pretty much like everyone, there's a lot of characters tho so I gotta admit sometimes some characters maybe lack a bit of screentime, but that doesn't mean they don't have moments to shine. I also find the villains pretty interesting and deep, so if you are into well written villains this show is for you. There's a few filler episodes but I didn't mind them, I like that the show also focuses a lot on the story and the fights all have a meaning and are not just there to put action for action. Overall an amazing show I would highly recommend to anyone into animes or superheroes story in general.
