Gravity Falls: Tourist Trapped (2012)
'Welcome to Gravity Falls'
A simple episode that works with accuracy to introduce everything basic we have to see on the show, since the bright, dark, funny and mysterious sides that Gravity Falls would have in the future.
The characters are so likable, their gags and special scenes works on a drop of the dime that chooses the protagonists and secondary characters of each scene and the episode in general.
The act 1 of the story introduces two objective sides of the twins (Dipper finding something that finally interesses him and Mabel trying to have a 'Epic Summer Romance'), makes the story begin in each sides, and then each sides complement themselfs to tell the other acts that haves a expectation breaking points that moves the story to the opposite rail which we think it's going to happen, and to change the rail they use of funny elements we've seen before, as like the moment where Dipper shows the Gnomes' page to Mabel, or the Leaf Vacuum scene, and also there are somepoints that an mystery is introduced to be concluded on the future, and all that happens without plot holes or unnecessary stuff, all of it works in a fluent slide that maintains intact till the end of the episode.
Also the production here is phenomenal; the animation, music, voices, scenarios, etc. They are all so well done, and passes the atmosphere which scene promises.
With all that in mind, this episode in a word is entertaining, a good way to introduce some of the elements we would see later.
Welcome to Gravity Falls.
The Cuphead Show! (2022)
'Well, Cuphead and his pal Mugman, they like to... what they like?'
'Cuphead: Don't deal with the Devil' launched in 2017, was one of the best indies games i ever seen, this is gaven by the Classical Artstyle, Music, and a simple story with simple characters that remembers the classical cartoons of the 30's and 40's.
And then, i was hyped to 'The Cuphead Show' since it was anounced.
The series in general is good, but there are some problems and errors that the series have to over pass when the 2nd season came in to public.
The animation and the visuals in general is probably the best part of the show, its very smoth, colored and beautiful, and pass the old cartoons vibes using real objects to the backgrounds, the effect of an dirty screen and the cheesy and rubbery movement of the characters, everything is so atmospheric and beautiful.
The soundtrack don't give away the original game's OST, classical instruments are still used here in a so good way, and even some of the original tracks are used here, but i have an problem with it, the moment where the musics are the protagonists, the moment where we have the character's songs, are sadly pretty weak, there are two that stick on my head, but the other ones i just don't remember them, they are just generic, but the the instrumental ones, are all so good.
The characters are the same of the game, but they have some different extra personalities to mix with the 'Rated E for Everyone', and is not the worst thing, but its not the best. The most silly and positive personalities of characters may impact the kids, unlike the fans and the critics, that waited for an more complex traits or scenes with them, and they are there! But not so remarkable, the result is: 'I watched. I play the game again. And notice the same characters, but not with the personalities of the series', what is the opposite what happend to Arcane for example. But they are still funny to watch, actually because its an series with an great tone of humor, and the jokes are in majority hilarious.
And finally... the Story. The weakest point of the show in my opnion. The story of the original Cuphead is simple, but it works because its not the game focus, and even by remember an story that you would seen in an old cartoon. For the series the story was inevitable to be more expanded, but the series doesn't showed so much the story that it want you to heard and see.
The series probably don't get what original fans and critics want, but offers an good and funny expierence for the ones that doesn't played or have seen the original game.
8/10.
The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild (2022)
The Worst Ice Age Movie ( Oh really? )
After the first trailer of this thing came over, i didn't have any issues in seeing the problems just by the trailer.
I watched, and for every any conclusions, the Animation, the Characters and the Story, fight each other to be the 'Worst Thing about the movie'.
I originally was about to put two (2) stars instead of one (1), but, considering that for some years i was an fan of the franchise, and how many times i think about this thing that they call movie, i most hate it, this one, is the worst animated movie so far launched in this year.
Ordem Paranormal: A Porta (2020)
'So we will be the Equip E'
This episode is one of my favorite ones, here are explained somethings about 'Santo Berço' and even got references from the next season, is an investigative and explanation episode kinda. But this episode is not just that, the title of this review ill explain now, the formation of 'Equip E' is my favorite scene from season two, its an sequences of scenes that are perfectly made, the players act incredible, the context of the moment was so emotional, everything in this scene made me cry, and then the way how this episode ended was so phenomenal.
After seeing this episode, 'Paranormal Order' wasn't anymore an brazilian RPG, but one of the best things that i have seen in all my entire life.
Ordem Paranormal: Guerreiro (2021)
'Do Mo Owararimasu'
Probably, one of the best episodes from Paranormal Order, since the start till the end, this episode literally pass from an cool battle episode to something indescribable. The character: 'Joui Jouki', is an identical hero, you can see this in his evolution since his first appearance, and compares from what he was in this episode, there are differences, but he is the same guy that protect everyone who loves, including his enemies. And like Joui's player ( Lucas Feuerschütte ) have said, this was the finale that his character want, the fall of Kian, made by the love that the order fells for theirselves, it's not an generic cliché, but here is a truth cliché.
Thanks to Feuerschütte, for do best character of this RPG, and made me cry so many times. Love u <3.
