Update Blog - 8/14/21 (Patreon)

After all the reviews that I worked on one after another, I can finally have some time to just take it easy and just do some binging...Well, it's technically binging for work, but still, I'm just at the part where I'm starting some new projects where all I have to do is watch some cartoons and collect some ideas in my mind of how to pull them off in a video. So, with that said, this is what my week looked like.

- Released my review of Vivo: This was my most anticipated Sony Animation film and after waiting for months just to hear any about the project, was it worth the wait? Honestly, yes...for the most part. The soundtrack is absolutely spot-on (In fact, I'm still listening to the music) and the animation is gorgeous where they nailed the style and the choreography is admirable. I do agree with many critics that it does become very generic after Andrés is out of the picture and Gabi can get quite annoying. There was a moment that I was a bit disappointed that the film did stoop to that low. However, even its issue can be a bit redeemable thanks to the heart of the picture with its themes of love and music and, wouldn't you know it, this could be a case where this could be the one Sony Animation film I like better than some others (or at least more positive). Not a perfect film or not even on the levels of The Mitchells vs. The Machines, but still a fantastic movie nonetheless.

- Starting a brand new Top 10 video: Now that I found the time to get working on a new big project, I decided to go with something fun with an all-new Top 10 video. This was an idea that I've had for quite some time, but then I recently thought about what to do with the presentation and what to talk about and I was immediately hit with inspiration. It will be quite different compared to some of the other Top 10s I've done before, but it will be quite worth it. At this point, I'm only doing research to properly build the list itself. I still got quite a bit to watch, but I'll get to writing the script starting next week. This is one of those cases where the more ideas in my mind, the more exciting it will be to bring them to life!

- Watching episodes for the next Series Review: Yep, another one is coming your way and I wanted to get started on watching the episodes last week, but I was so caught up with all the reviews I had to make that there were a lot of times when I ended up working on them until the late of night and had to push back starting this project. Now with those out of the way, I finally found the time to watch them in small sets every day. I still got a long way before starting the review itself, since there are over 50 episodes here and I'm not even half-way in, but for the foreseeable future (or until someone requests me another one), this is the last review of a decently sized series that I have to do. I've already had some experience this year with Dilbert, Xiaolin Showdown and the Tangled series, I can get through this one with no problem.

And that is my week where I can unironically say that my job was to watch a bunch of cartoons :P I still have some more to watch before the productions of them actually start, but we'll see if I can start making some magic next week. So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
