Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean, Rango) works as writer and director for a film adaptation of Team Fortress Two.
While I liked the characters, especially the Medic, I feel the plot could use more substance. They were just fighting with little reasoning, and I had no explanation for why both the teams looked exactly the same, other then the producers being cheap and not hiring enough actors.
A Adventure Time anime remake, made by Gen Urobuchi
Now known as Cyber ControllerAmerican fans will find the laughs that this campy and humiliating counterpart of Adventue Time attempt to incite to be hopelessly lost in translation. The new Jake character is now comparable to Tingle in his infamy. The series is at a general loss for what made the original show such a gem. Perhaps it's about as strange as the original, and perhaps the characters are equally deep, but on the end there is no reason to watch this rendition of Adventure Time when considering the absence of its most crucial character: humor.
A computer-animated Bobobo Bo Bo Bobo series by PFFR, the team behind Xavier: Renegade Angel and Wonder Showzen.
Weird as hell and trippy, but alright. I wish the animation was slightly better, though.
A Darkwing Duck graphic novel done by Grant Morrison and drawn by Dave McKean.

You really are from the future! Tell me, am I living in a cottage in Nova Scotia, happily married with one egg and another on the way?Brutally bland and punishingly soulless, Grant Morrison's reboot of Darkwing is everything but what made the original series special. Though it smacks of detective noir influence, the only mystery of this comic is why the writer found such a slow, solemn tone to be necessary for a Darkwing refresh. The duration of the retool is expended on Darkwing's anti-future, in which he loses his beloved and lives in secluded misery. The dialogue between Darkwing's constituents about their pressing guilt for Darkwing's downfall is uninteresting and drab. This is unfortunate, because it's the interactions between Darkwing's allies, not Darkwing himself, that is the crutch on which this comic's plot leans. The result is enough to turn away even the most faithful fan.

A great violent portrayal of life in Hyrule. The acting was great, even though it was odd to see Link speak. The special effects were a bit dated, but still captivating. The story was an interesting one, with both Hyrule and Ganondorf's minions portrayed as corrupt but likeable.
Kentaro Miura (writer of Berserk) writing Sailor Moon
Now known as Cyber ControllerBrutal, somewhat grim and scary, and yet this adaptation of Sailor Moon does not fail to uphold what the original series stood for - justice, and it even brings out something out of the original 0. I'd say that I liked it.
Gen Urobuchi writes/creates a reboot to Chargeman Ken!.
You really are from the future! Tell me, am I living in a cottage in Nova Scotia, happily married with one egg and another on the way?That was an interesting experience. I thought that cartoon was shit, but Urobochi really developed Ken. He made it understandable why Ken went crazy. Boy, I was so saddened at his backstory. The animation has improved greatly, as well as the music. The Jurals are now a decent threat, even with their new tragic backstories.
BioWare making a The Legend of Zelda game/
Now known as Cyber ControllerLink gets a voice actor and either 2 or 3 options at any given dialogue choice, which occur in nearly every cutscene. Link's also allowed to be good or evil to varying degrees. The characters' lives are more heavily Played for Drama, and the choices you make have an impact on later parts of the game.
Bungie makes a video game adaptation of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
The truth can oft be more misleading... I'm driven by greed, guilt, rage, and despair, but I'll never try to justify haughtiness.It's a fun game, but it has its flaws. The mechas are easy to use, but some of the beastmen are annoying to fight. There are a variety of interesting skulls, such as the "Drill only" where you can't use any guns. The last levels aren't really that great, because the ending is near impossible to adapt.

Now known as Cyber ControllerA brutal comic book set in a brutal dystopia, it shows all the downsides of a homophobic, insane manchild ruling, all the downsides of his policies, and shows why his world can't work as well as Real Life does. It could also be applied to Richard Katellis's Kit n Kay Boodle, if we replace 'homophobic, insane manchild' to 'creep who shames the Furry Fandom and has never heard of AIDS or asexuals'

You really are from the future! Tell me, am I living in a cottage in Nova Scotia, happily married with one egg and another on the way?The acting was fairly good. The main problem is that the penguins are too cute to be considered badasses. Also, King Julien was fun to watch as the ruler of the wastelands.
An R-rated version of Sailor Moon, written by Gen Urobuchi
Now known as Cyber ControllerI didn't think this series would lend itself to such a dark interpretation, but it's actually pulled off fairly well. Its only real problem is that it's so in contrast to the original that fans of one version will probably hate the other version from sheer disconnect. It's good, but it's not for everyone.
Star Wars as an anime with a distinctly Japanese storytelling style.
Being good may take being different, but being different is not always good. Be advised before viewing this nonessential animated adaptation of Star Wars that it is so Japanese that there is not one character with facial hair. Indeed, expect a look and feel very distant form George Lucas's rendition of the franchise. Most strikingly different from the classic films above all is the new characters. Although a new cast should mean excellent new perspectives on the world of the original movies, the writing is quite independent of the original universe, which is acceptable to an extent. However, not only is the story completely irrelevant to the original films, but it becomes also progressively weaker from beginning to end, boiling down to the point where there is no purpose in the plot but to promote flashy eye candy that quickly wears not the viewer. It's a shame; the perspective shots were so laboriously put together that I couldn't possibly wish to be as harsh on this film as I should. So, to drive this review home, I might add that the adventure is heavily centered around a human Jedi girl equally distasteful in speech and manner to Jar Jar Binks.

Pretty good actually. Introduces a fresh perspective on Super Metroid. I certainly liked Scarlet Johannson's acting, and CGI Ridley! Holy moly, that one is good!
E.V.O.: Search for Eden as done by Toby Fox. Yes, this is a repost.
You really are from the future! Tell me, am I living in a cottage in Nova Scotia, happily married with one egg and another on the way?Oh, Toby. Toby, Toby, Toby. Best known in the Earthbound fanbase for the Halloween Hack, best known in the Homestuck fanbase for his fan-music, and best known in the Undertale fanbase for, well, fucking Undertale. Toby has decided to do an EVO: Search for Eden game. Now, people who read my reviews are probably sick to death of EVO, but screw it I'm going in. First things first, there was a huge gameplay change. Rather than being essentially a beat-em-up-RPG hybrid, it's now closer to just RPG, but it has enough twists in it to make it fun. Secondly the characters. They're exactly the same. Next, story. As expected with Toby, the writing is very witty. On par with the Mario & Luigi games at times. This makes for a fun experience. So, once again, we got a positive EVO game. Check it out.
A fourth Mario & Luigi movie, this time focused on Dream Team. Scott Burns reclaims his role as Bowser, and Dreambert is voiced by Elijah Wood. Don't ask questions, I couldn't think of a Dreambert-esque actor.
Holy crap, Tobin is the perfect actor. Why didn't I think of that?

Ah. Yet another one. I have been always more of a villain lover, and Antasma, voiced by Tobin Bell, came out pretty good. Special effects are as good as always, though I have suspicions that the cinematic franchise is being a cash cow. Sorry.
A Touhou Project game, based on Slavic mythology.

You really are from the future! Tell me, am I living in a cottage in Nova Scotia, happily married with one egg and another on the way?Try to imagine the predicament I'm in. I'm reviewing a Touhou game based on mythology today. I'm terrible with bullet hells and I don't care for god stories. But, I must fight through it, and I did! So, lemme tell you all about it. From what I know about Touhou (which, as stated before, is very little), most characters are magical girls. This is not the case with this game, as it's more of a game like Touhou. Instead it focuses on Svarog, which I guess is kinda like a Slavic Zeus, going on a journey meeting gods from all different religions. I thought this was a really cool idea. In the game, you fight characters like Zeus, Neptune, and at one point freaking Jesus. The controls are tight and very responsive. It's a really good game that I really like, but it's obviously very controversial, so get it while you still can.
A Pikmin anime animated in the style of the Pikmin short films (AKA, 3D) focusing on the plot of Pikmin 2.
Actually, it's kinda good. Very good, and the sheer scenery porn, the lights and the predicament the Captains find themselves in is cool.
Though it is kinda jarring to see Pikmin with animesque eyes.
A prequel to Chargeman Ken!, focusing on Maou's life on the (probably destroyed by the beginning of the series) Jural planet before he became the Juralian King and initiated the invasion of Earth. Written by Gen Urobuchi.
You really are from the future! Tell me, am I living in a cottage in Nova Scotia, happily married with one egg and another on the way?Chargeman Ken, an action film, directed by Urobutcher, starring the main villain. It's a mess. A brilliant, bombastic mess. The plot is extremely unrestrained. So liberal is the Urobutcher's interpretation of the plot, in fact, that it becomes an affront to the willing suspension of disbelief, all of the original film's randomness considered. More down-to-earth viewers would want to skip out on this one; it's a lot to take in.

Fans will appreciate Scott Burns, arguably at peak performance in this third installment of the Mario and Luigi film trilogy. The film pays homage to the video game on which it was based but is in no way constrained by it. The writing surpasses the previous two installments with an intelligent sense of humor that transcends the kid's flick limbo of fart and booger jokes, which, given a big portion of the film has to do with a fat lizard's anatomy, is saying something.
