DC Animated Movies


DC Animation is known not only for their great TV animated shows but also for their great animated movies.





Shipping Cafe #04


Spider-manxSpider-woman

This is a ship that I find interesting in general but it greatly saddens me that they don't have or get as much interaction with each other. I personally think that Peter Parker and Jessica Drew greatly compliment each other and could work as a couple.

Avatar the Last Airbender: The Search Part 1


This is it!! Finally what long-time fans of Avatar the Last Airbender having been dying to know. What the heck happened to Zuko's mom? Is going to finally be revealed in it's entirety. Part one of this trilogy starts off in a great way the story telling is paced well and leaves you in suspense especially the mind-blowing cliff hanger twist at the end of this book. 

Persona 3 Movie


The jrpg game Persona 3 is getting it's own animated movie and I'm super excited about it. I really loved the  Persona 4 anime adaption and I'm sure that the same great execution that was done for the Persona 4 anime will be done for this movie. The movie will be split into 2 parts. 

Memory Lane #02


I remember back in the day when Cartoon-network was still a decent network watching this show. The intro was memorable and had a catchy tune to go along with it. This show was also good at introducing central comic book characters within the Superman Universe and nicely integrating them into the show.

DC Earth One Series


Recently, I've just finished reading Batman Earth One and it was a refreshing take on the origin story of Batman and it was very thrilling. DC Comic's Earth One comic book series is basically the equivalent of Marvel Comic's Ultimate Universe.

Vampire Knight Chapter 91




There are now only 2 chapters left until the conclusion of this manga. In this chapter nothing extremely significant happened except for Zero being on the brink to recovering his lost memories of Yuuki to which I say meh. Yuuki is very adamant about not wanting Kaname to become the new "Parent Metal" and was just being her usual selfish, whining, and useless character arch-type as usual. I wonder how Hino will choose to wrap up this manga over the course of the next two final chapters.

Smallville


For those of you who have been wondering why I've been m.i.a for the past few weeks it's because I decided whimsically to watch all 10 seasons of Smallville. At first the thought of watching all 218 episodes in which each episode is roughly 40 something minutes with the exception of some episodes being either shorter or longer can be a very tedious task. Growing up I never really paid attention to Smallville heck, I didn't even know that the show was about Superman until when I was in 8th grade by then the show was on it's 8th season. 


Smallville at it's core is the coming of age story of how Clark Kent became Superman and all of the trials and tribulations that he had to go through and overcome to get there. I greatly enjoyed this show as I've never really experienced it when it was airing on tv. It was fun seeing the characters develop over the seasons and grow as characters. My favorite 3 seasons are seasons 4,7 and 9. I enjoyed the beginning of season 8 until Lana Lang came back. Her coming back just soured the rest of the season for me, but her character did need a little bit more closure after what happened at the end of season 7.  

Main Relationships


ClarkxLana (Clana)

At first for me the Clark and Lana ship was cute and typical, but as the seasons went on it became nothing but an endless cycle of drama and annoyance and made me come to dislike Lana as a character more than I would have liked. I also didn't like the fact that whenever Lana was involved the writers of the show decided to make Clark a love sick puppy. After she left permanently the show became more enjoyable to me again.


ClarkxLois (Clois)

I really liked the build up to Clark's and Lois's romance. From starting off as disliking each other, to friends, and eventually to lovers. It was fun and exciting watching these two share the screen together and watch their always entertaining banter. Their relationship was very sensual and not as drama filled as the Clana relationship and as we all know that Lana may have been Clark's high school love, but Lois is Clark's true and one and only human soul-mate.


Overall, Smallville is a very spectacular show and everyone should experience or watch it at least once in their lifetime.

Score: 8.9
