TBH all those dumplings just look so delicious... 

This is probably one of the most annoying things brought in the digital age. Giving you a fancy ad with a very stupid player then you are challenged to play. However, when you end up playing -- you get a VERY DIFFERENT game so different. The game ends up as either a puzzle game (such as Townscape) or just a stupid scrabble. The whole stupid player ad is more annoying than funny to watch. So really, I wonder why do they do that kind of ad where the gameplay is SO DIFFERENT? You felt like you've seen the best innovation offers but instead -- it's really a bummer. Yet, some people still end up playing the games anyway, huh? 

Newer doesn't always mean better just as older doesn't always mean better. Only a moderntard cares only if something is new -- I'd enjoy the best of both. Some modern versions do sound better such as the Combat Butler Hayate's cover of Jetman's ending song Kokoro Wa Tamago. But Disney? Well, I just got so bummed up after listening to Zayn Malik's rendition of the classic song "A Whole New World". Really it's LIFELESS compared to this... Remember this classic version? No, I'm not being biased because I'm a fan of Lea Salonga-Chien but because the cartoon version (along with the ending credits version) of the original Disney's Aladdin had WAY MORE POWER into it. No offense to Zayn fans BUT the 2019 version of the same song is PLAIN LIFELESS. And now remember this... Bland... bland... bland... the Beauty and the Beast (2017) wrecked my childhood. I really feel like Ariana Grande is getting more credit than she deserves. Maybe, ...

Toei's newest Tokusatsu sitcom called Nihonjin No Heishi gained more higher ratings since its second episode last Friday of May 10, 2019. The show got widely praised for its comedic visuals. The second episode now focused on Gouki Arujano's cowardice. The flashback involved the failed mutiny against the Japanese Diet and how Rokoku Matsushita hacked through the Henshin Grid. The result was that the years of Showa and Heisei era of Tokusatsu were deleted -- an opposite of Gokaiger throwing away the Greatest Treasure to preserve the rich history of Tokusatsu. Although Nihonjin No Heishi has not aired yet in the Philippines -- Gary Alejano who lost the May 13, 2019 elections blamed Toei for his loss. He blamed the show for his loss as OFWs and Filipinos in Japan laughed at him -- even if the show does not have translations yet. Filipinos who can speak and understand Japanese have decided to use Nihonjin No Heishi as a campaign against Alejano. Alejano was last seen at the In...

I was watching Aladdin's trailers and honestly -- I just can't take Naomi Scott as Jasmine all too easily though I may give the movie a shot. I still find it weird why a half-Indian, half-British lady (whose Indian features are more prominent) is playing an Arabian princess. Then again, isn't it easy to mistake one for the other? I've done that many times in mistaking Indians with Arabians due to similarities. Interacting with Abu? She's better suited countering Sun Wukong's mischief and guiding the pilgrims in the Journey to the West. Riding a flying carpet with Aladdin? She's better suited to have a flying lotus throne while she hears all the sorrows of the world. Just my rather weird opinion on her current role. 

Toei's spin-off Failed Hero series has been going on since B.S. Man last 2015. While Squatterman didn't get as much attention as other Failed Heroes -- Nihonjin No Heishi managed to get a good first day ratings. The first Reiwa era Failed Hero series had managed to beat Ryusoulger and Kamen Rider Zi-O in terms of ratings. The actor Takaya "Metal" Yoshida had expressed his thanks for the viewers. He said, "I am thankful for all those who are supporting the comedy mini-series Nihonjin No Heishi. I was happy that both me and my wife and our daughters can participate as a family in Toei's latest comedy series." The press conference of Nihonjin No Heishi in in mid-April 2019 had the cast of Ryusoulger, Kamen Rider Zi-O, Lupinranger vs. Patranger and Kyuranger show up. The cast members then gave their reviews on social media. Kousei Yuuki openly expressed the comedy of Nihonjin No Heishi as a brilliant comedy series that makes you shun false heroism. The s...

Here's Watch Mojo having the top ten children's cartoon shows that were suddenly canceled. Most of them didn't have a finale except the Sonic the Hedgehog (which was a darker spin on Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog) by DIC. But do you remember these shows? I just thought I'd like to write and ramble about it after watching it. Now it's time to do some rambling again...  Who can remember the Hanna Barbera superheroes?  There were various such as when Hanna Barbera had the Marvel license way before Toei and later Haim Saban would have the permission to adapt it. I remembered the Fantastic Four cartoon which for me was meh compared to Saban's Marvel Action Hour -- this is coming from someone who doesn't like Power Rangers! These shows never had a definite finale like many American superheroes. The Fantastic Four cartoon by Hanna Barbera only had 13 episodes and the final episode involved series original villain the Director. So really is that th...
