Lots of Garo stuff in 2014
As some of the people who read here might know, I do enjoy Tokusatsu. Mostly the series that is called Garo, if you have any kind of interest in Japanese live-action stuff, watch it. Season 1 and Season 2 are really good! But I’m afraid I wasn’t all that fond of Garo: The One Who Shines in the Darkness.
It started off slow as hell, got really good in the middle, to just die of completely for me.
Well 2014 seems to be the year for Garo related stuff. Zero who is a Makai Knight in season 1 & 2 will be getting his own series or if its just a special. But it will be around his character at least. That could be really nice, I hope they dwell deeper into that character. I want too know more about him and see what kind of trails he has gone though.
That’s not all, apparently Garo is to become an anime! That was a pretty big surprise for me, but one that could really turn in favor for the show. Really looking forward too see how it will look and get more details on that. It could be really good or it could be crap, but hopefully it will at least be decent. So as I said, I sure hope we get more info on this soon! I want to know who is animating it, what it looks like and how mature the series will be.
But the one thing I am mostly looking forward too is Garo: Makai No Hana. It will be a squeal to the season 1 and season 2 and will star Raiga Saejima, the son of Kouga Saejima. Raiga has taken over the mantel of Garo, just like Kouga did from his father. So that’s going to be nice to see and the best part of it is, that the director from the first Garo season will be doing this series! So I actually have great hope for this one!

Pacific Rim is awesone!
Today was the day when I finally was going to watch Pacific Rim. And how I have waited. Ever since I saw the first trailer I was in love with it or rather I knew I had to watch it. So earlier today I went and saw it with two of my best friends.
And I can only speak for me, but I loved the movie! Giant robots kicking monster ass and vise-versa. I am pleased and I am happy, I got exactly that. I can’t really complain about anything in particular. I got what I wanted and it lived up to my expectations, what more could I want?
Well maybe some of mechs could have gotten more screen-time and a few things could be better. But I am not complaining, it is so rare we get a movie like this. I hope we can get more! This is how giant robots should be! I am seriously thinking about buying it on blu-ray later and I almost never buy movies.
Most anticipated movie of the year. And yeah, for me it lived up to the hype. Next movie that I am really hyped for is Amazing Spider-Man 2, but that’s next year.

Go-Busters is ENTERtainment
As some people here already now I’m a fan of Sentai/Tokusatsu and I’m watching the latest Sentai series, which is called Tokumei Sentai Go-busters. Yes, this will most likely be turned into a Power Rangers season in a year or so. And probably loose it’s great villain Enter, oh he makes the show so enjoyable. He is one of the big reasons I watch the show. The other being it feels so fresh and they are doing a bunch of new flashy stuff, which I enjoy tremendously. But apparently this is one of the worst rated seasons ever, and that makes me very sad indeed.
I really hope it can pick up views in Japan, I would love to get more sentai series with this kind of action. And that are actually trying to do something new.
Don’t get me wrong I love the old stuff, I really do. Otherwise I wouldn’t be watching it, but I like it when people try to add something new to mix. Sentai has been around for 36year now, so of course its nice when new stuff happens. And I seem to be one of those who love the shows who try to be a bit different, I’m hoping I’ll like the next one that comes after Go-Busters. I have a feeling they’ll try to play the safe card with that show, to get better ratings. But as long as it’s good and doesn’t revert back to the old stuff too much, I’ll probably like it.
Among the main cast there are three characters I just love! The two “special rangers” Beet Buster and Stag Buster. They are both funny and badass Especially Stag Buster who’s name is Beet J. Stag, what an ego! He is a buddyroid that was built by Jin Masato, aka Beet Buster.
A buddyroid are robots who support the rangers with various things and are also needed to pilot their MegaZord. J is so far the only buddyroid who can transform into a ranger. Both Jin and J are a great combo, but they are always fussing about something. It’s great watching them and when they get serious they kick some major ass.
And last but definitely not least. ENTER!! One of the villains in the show I do hope he becomes the main villain. He serves under a powerful computer virus called Messiah and Enters job is to get enetron (energy, duh.) so Messiah can grow stronger and one day come into the real world. Enter is crazy, you can hardly ever predict what he is going to do. He is so damn random and he speaks with some added French words, I just can’t dislike him! He has also proven to be quite the adversary, when serious he took on one of the strongest if not the strongest ranger by himself and it felt like he played with him. Tossing him around like a toy, so he is very dangerous when he get serious. Words will do Enter no justice, just watch the show and Hopefully you might like Enter too. Because I love watching the Enter show featuring Go-Busters!

I must see Wreck-It Ralph
Hahaha! I just gotta watch Disney‘s newest movie, Wreck-It Ralph. It takes place inside a videogame land! And there are a few famous cameos like, Bowser, Dr.Eggman and so on. Just check out the trailer below, I think its cool of the videogame companies to lend out their characters like this. Can’t wait to see the movie, I think it will be nerdy. :3

Ultimate Spider-Man
Saw the first two episodes of the Ultimate Spider-Man animated show today, they where special… I liked them a lot and I’m going to keep watching this show, but it had its fails. And for me they where pretty big, I can live with them and I won’t drop the show for this. But it is going to get really old really fast. So I’m hoping this is just something for the first few episodes and hope it will tone down a bit later.
The animations where nice and in some parts they where rather spectacular (narf), but it’s also the visuals I have the main problems with… As I said the visuals are great, really great. When they are not trying to mimic anime! This is the same problem (for me problem) that was with Teen Titans, but at least in that show they fitted. But here it feels so damn out of the place. And there where plenty of this in just the two first episodes. And by mimic anime I mean they make it look more chibi-anime like and all kiddy and try to be funny. Don’t get me wrong, frequent readers should know I love anime, but I was hoping for a little bit more seriousness in that department.
But other than that, the show seems very promising. Even if I seemed to be one of few who liked the last show Spectacular! Spider-Man and would have loved to see that one get another seasons. I’m really hoping this will turn out good, I’m going to be real sad otherwise. But it is still to early to tell, I’ll give it few more episodes hopefully the stuff I don’t like will either grow on me or it will be toned down. Either way, Spider-Man is back and now I’m longing for the new movie even more!
