Mark's Reviews

     Wow the Blue Spirit is a masterpiece and easily my favorite episode so far which is saying something.       Its probably both the funniest and most exciting episode. And the haunting and suspenseful music during more dramatic scenes really sets the mood and guts perfectly.      Commander Zhao, who I have mistakenly referred to as Admiral Jhou in previous episodes makes a return and he is a great villain. Now he gets promoted to Admiral and he is as slimy and evil as usual.      Zuko is at center stage which is great because I think he is the coolest character in the show and he really shows off his skills at wordplay.     Sokka is hilarious in this episode though he and his sister Katara aren't in it much. And there are a lot more amphibians that you would expect.      Love this episode! Its the best! S+ Tier and 10 out of 10.

     "The Storm" is probably the best episode so far and especially comes as a breath of fresh air after the dreadful last episode.  Love it!      It's great storytelling where the back story of Zuko and Aang is revealed through interesting flashbacks and is a great example of the old "show, don't tell" adage.       Zuko's back story is particularly interesting to me and explains quite a lot why capturing the Avatar is so important to him. He is presented as a nuanced and complex character who is a lot more than an antagonist. He is probably my favorite character.       Aang's back story is also interesting and he wrestles with past regrets. I love the tender relationship with his friend Katara who sweetly encourages him.      It's a great character-focused episode and I love it a lot! It's S+ Tier and a 10 out of 10.

I did this blog for fun but now want to have a break from it. The blogs I already wrote--up to some time in November--will still be published but I am done for awhile okay.

     Lunar Silver Star Story Remastered is a great updated version of a classic originally released on the Sega Cd in the early 90s.       It's a very charming game and the characters are definitely the highlight of the game. They are so lovable, funny, quirky,  and likable.      The main character is Alex. He is a good-natured teenager who lives in Burg with his friends Luna and Remus and Alex's flying cat-like creature Nall.      I don't talk about plot points much to have spoiler-free review but suffice it to say what starts as a simple adventure gradually escalates into an epic quest to save the world.      Besides the great characters I also like the witty well-written dialogue.  NPCs often have interesting or funny things to say so it is worth talking to them.     The music is unforgettable and there are even a few songs with lyrics and I think they are nice songs myself.
