So I finally saw the Dec 2018 Smash Bros Collab and this joint was freaking insane. The animators really went in and did an amazing job. There were varying style and liberty taken with some themes with various characters. There were some with jokes which were really over the top. Some were really touching moments and showed that there are some animators who are amazing at their craft and are able to really convey emotion. There were others that were beyond what I expected to see but all in all these were really well done and I was entertained at the almost 50 mins of run time. You will find this to be one of the finest pieces of collaborations out there from the Newgrounds camp. Please support their page and give them love. Newgrounds gave my work love when there was really no place to post by craft way back in the early web video days. Yeah it dropped Dec 26, 2018.

So I was able to see the live action version of M.O.B Psycho which was released back in January of 2018. Upon hearing that they were making a live action version of an anime show I adored I was unsure how to take it in, not that I could do anything about that more than to either watch it or not watch it. We are all very familiar with how they handle converting an anime show to live action or even a game. Some directors are able to work some amazing magic an example would be Kenshin’s live action movies Which were frelling amazing might I add. On the flip side some production end up as complete and utter turds, two dishonorable mentions are Dragonball’s live action and the Avatar the last air bender. Yes I do know Avatar was not an anime. I could only hope that it worked like kenshin. Unlike Kenshin this series had more humor so that was alot they could fan-dangle.

I can clearly say I was actually quite surprised by the live action. There were one or two new characters which, how can I put it was way out there and really carried some elements of the show. There were also parts where they struggled to keep me entertained. I do have to give it to them for trying to stay true to the source with a minor deviations. I high recommendation is to what the anime first so that you are not driven away from a rather excellent piece of animation and story. Aside from all of my slights check out the live action as it was a decent production that with some fine tuning can become greater.
