Hello everybody, today I will be reviewing the Pokemon Art Academy game on 3DS. The thing is that I've only played around an hour, so this is my perspective while initially watching this game.
So as the title suggests, in art academy what you do is draw Pokemon step by step, starting with the outlines, then colouring in. If you're like me, and are really bad at drawing , then this is the game for you to start of your Pokemon drawing journey!! There are a few Pokemon faces that you can select and draw first, one of them I drew was a Pikachu, and a Piplup.
To be honest, after I drew one Pokemon, I realised how much the guy talks so much in between each step! I actually find it annoying and would rather him not talk so that I can just go and learn how to draw!!
For the moment anyway, I feel like this is more of a colouring in book in which you just trace Pokemon in, but I heard that as the drawings get more complicated, it gets harder to draw the Pokemon, so I think that I need to play more of this game to get a overall rating. But for a temporary rating, I'd have to give it a 6.5/10. I really like the idea of learning how to draw Pokemon though. I wouldn't recommend this game if you don't like drawing or learning how to draw Pokemon as this would not be the game for you. That is all for now, goodnight!

Pokemon Heritage Collection & Dragon Ball Z Movie (Anime News)
Hi everyone, so no review or anything but I would like to quickly talk about a new product that will be released on the 11th of November by Beyond Home Entertainment. The Pokemon Heritage Collection will be a massive Pokeball trophy like mould containing the first 9 Seasons with 54 discs and with over 168 hours of footage to watch, this is a must have Limited Edition Pokemon item to buy, but if you've already bought each Beyond Home Entertainment(Formerly Magna Pacific) release of Pokemon on DVD then are you really ready to pay $250 for this collectors item??
If you're like me and have 4-5 copies of each season on DVD, you can't blame me for being a bit hesitant on buying this collection. But if you're like me and are a Pokemon collector, then you can't blame me for wanting it just because it's a new limited edition item, and I myself am a huge fan of the anime ahead of anything else(tcg, games etc). I do have one question though, why no Blu-Ray! This would have been the perfect time for a Blu-Ray release!!!! So far, only the last few movies have been released on Blu-Ray. We are still waiting for a Blu-Ray release for full HD!! Also does heritage only go up to season 9? Is that as ancient as it goes with Pokemon?? I suppose they'll release another Heritage Collection containing the final seasons from season 10 upwards.
Well you know I'll buy it, but what about you??
Link for more details below!!
Beyond Home Entertainment Pokemon Heritage Collection
Well, that's all I have to say, but I hope at least the discs will be stored better than the Pokedex book collections!!!
Also tomorrow repeats for the new Dragon Ball Z film will be showing again at cinemas so if you missed it, then you can go watch it!! (or watch it again!)

Avatar The Legend of Korra, Season 3, Episode 12&13, Enter the Void & Venom of the Red Lotus (Final Series Episode Review)
Ok so it's been around 2 weeks since both episodes aired, and today I finally got the chance to watch these two episodes. Of course I will not spill the beans, especially as these are the final episodes of the season.
In episode 12 Enter the Void, Korra surrenders herself to the Red Lotus to save the Air Benders. There's a bit of intense fighting which causes a death of one character on the show, and someone learns lava bending and also someone learns how to fly :D And also a character manages to say "I love you"!!!!
In episode 13 Venom of the Red Lotus we get a bit of the flashback of the previous villains as Korra is forced into the Avatar state by the Red Lotus by giving her poison and yes, there is more fighting as the series reaches its climax.
Episode 13 was probably the most emotional episode I've ever seen on the Legend of Korra, especially near the end. I stayed watching the credits in sort of disbelief that the episode and series ended so fast. I feel like the ending really suited it. The emotions remind me just like the end of Avatar the Legend of Aang, but this time, there's still one more season.
The fighting in both episodes are still pretty entertaining, with a majority usually resulting in a death or injury. I feel like the creators really started experimenting with death on avatar. Ways which you sort of think "Did they really just kill her??". So it feels a bit strange when a character is killed. I made sure to check online just in case the character didn't actually die after all(but they did haha)
The team on Avatar really did a great job with the storyline for the final episodes I think and I think they're probably the highlight of the season, but you have to wonder why Korra is always kidnapped. The series ends at a place where you need to wonder what will happen in the next series,
I give these two episodes an 8.5/10, with an overall 8/10 for the whole series. Probably this was the best out of all three seasons so far, so I'm egar to see what's in store for season 4. I'd love to keep going on about the season, but I might just reveal too much so it's best to just watch! Well, until next time!

House of Fury (Film Review)
Hello everybody! For my final review today, I will be reviewing the 2005 HK movie "House of Fury" written and directed by Stephen Fung, thought the people who produced the DVD cover decided to only add in the name "Produced by Jackie Chan", which is true, but fails to mention other names on the cover.
But anyway, this is a martial arts/ comedy film, more martial arts than anything. To keep the plot short, a father(Terry Yue Siu-bo played by Anthony Wong) is raising his two children (Nicky Yue played by Stephen Fung and Natalie Yue played by Gillian Chung) after the death of his wife and is soon kidnapped and questioned about the whereabouts of a former CIA agent. It is up to the kids to find and rescue him, but as they do that, their father's past is quickly uncovered.
So anyway, you can expect a lot of fighting, and when I say a lot, almost the whole film revolves around fighting. In a way, I can say that the style feels similar to Kung Fu Hustle (the action director did direct that film after all). So if you're interested in martial arts films then this is definitely the film for you!
There is a part in the film where you suddenly think that a character turns out to be the bad guy, but you're shocked to find out that he's not, so I thought that was pretty smart! There are a couple of relationships going on in the film, but not much to think of it as a romance film. Comedy wise, I didn't find any bits funny at all, but that's just me.
Overall I can't say that there's anything bad about this film, but I feel like that it's missing something, so I'm not completely sold on it. But all I can say is that i it were an American film, then there'd be a massive explosion at the end!
My rating for this film would have to be a 6.5/10, so it's pretty average for me. But you can tell me what you think! Until next time, bye!

Dancing Stage MegaMix (PS2 Game Review)
My cousin got me back into the game again, DDR.... What is DDR?? Dance Dance Revolution, a series produced by Konami. Dancing Stage MegaMix is part of the series. All you do in the game is follow the arrows on screen (Up, Down, Left, Right) and you have a dance pad where you press those keys on, so you"dance" by pressing on the keys.
This particular game has quite a few tracks which have taken my particular liking, and the game can get pretty addictive. I've played on hours on end before. I'm quite eager to play right now but the problem has to do with the mats. They don't quite last long enough. There are metal ones to buy but they are more expensive and at the moment, you can only find them online I think, though PS2 has already become obsolete so everything is becoming harder to find.
My rating is 8/10, these DDR games are so much fun, and with 2 players, it can be pretty fun, especially for parties. Practice does make perfect as you start off from beginner, and work your way up to Ultra Hard mode! Try it out some time!! Until then... Bye!

Lady Snow Blood (1973 Film Review)
Hello everybody! Today I will be reviewing the Lady Snow Blood movie (The first one) directed by Toshiya Fujita. So I bought this movie on Saturday at Mightyape and it finally arrived today!! One of the things which really attracted me to this film was that Kill Bill was inspired from it, and yes I have seen Kill Bill before, so it made me intrigued into some of the similarities.
So the main character Yuki(played by Meiko Kaji) is set to finish the task of killing the people who killed her father and brother, after her mother killed one but was later sent to jail and died. Already there is a similarity with Kill Bill, the task of revenge for killing loved ones. Another is how the stories are set e.g chapter 1, chapter 2 etc, and also how there's two volumes!!!
There's quite a lot of action which goes on, though comparing to the action, gorey films we see today, this film doesn't quite stack up. I think what makes it that is that this is quite an old film(70's), and I have to say that I was a bit surprised at how old the film was, I thought maybe late 80's to 90's film so at least the people who restored this film to digital did an amazing job!
Though film was filmed on quite a small budget so that could have also been a factor. The fight sequences feel a bit choreographed to me as there's some delay in the reactions, and also the blood is fake looking, though I feel like that's what almost everyone used back then. My favourite death would have to be the slicing in half of one character, that was superb as I have never seen anything like that on film before.
I don't think there's anything wrong with this film at all to be honest as the film flows quite nicely. You can see how and why this was a major influence on Kill Bill and possibly other films too. I'd have to give this film an 8/10. Probably you would want to watch this film more for the gore and storyline than the action as I feel like the action in this film is more gore than action.
Also on another note, this film breaks a barrier in the film trope. Normally women are portrayed as more beautiful but weak beings, but this film shows that women can be beautiful, but kick it all out at the same time too which is something that I really like about this film. In America this doesn't really start until later on so I think this film was ahead of its time(story wise).
Considering the budget of this film, I wonder what they could have done if they had a larger budget. The only question I have is what happens to Yuki at the end, though I think it was found out in the next film, but I can't quite remember. Though if you want me to review the next movie, then you don't need to as it's got the same tropes as this, though now Yuki is on another quest, and there's only one person she has a target on(in the beginning anyway), though I thought the storyline was a bit more boring, it still stacks up, but if you want to watch just one film then the first one is the way to go.
That's all anyway, this post is getting too long. Bye!

Pokemon Theme Song Cover
No review today, but this video is a video I created for a competition entry a youtuber named PokeCollection is having. In this video I sing the original Pokemon theme song, with a little bit of a twist in lyrics to fit the purpose. I hope you enjoy. The video with the most likes wins a prize, along with the runner up too so it'd be super awesome if I won, but I don't think I will though, but like the video if you like it and show your support!! Competition closes within the week so be quick!!
