Anime Rework - Inazuma Eleven Orion Part Two: Football Frontier Intentional Tournament Group Stage

With more creative liberty then Part Two of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake we are back to continue the reworking of Orion. This part of the rework will be taking a large amount of creative liberties with due to how the second half of the actual anime went. When Orion was in the process of being hyped up we were told about how it was going to be the largest Inazuma Eleven anime to date but we did not get and and by the end we ended up running match to match as the anime got cancelled and needed to wrap up, let's have some fun here and act like that never happened and we get the full build in what I would have in a full non cancelled anime. As ever here are the links to the two parts of this Ares & Orion rework.

Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory Ending - Thoughts and Analysis

The following will include spoilers for the endings of Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory and Final Fantasy 7 Remake. View at your own risk The next instalment of the Kingdom Hearts franchise has now been released in Melody of Memory and while I was not personally interest in playing the game I was interested in how it would set up the next phase of Kingdom Hearts. Much like Final Fantasy 7 Remake the ending left me confused, annoyed and then interested in what it could lead to when given a day or two. Tetsuya Nomura has a stranglehold over the majority of my interest when it comes to video games. I've found myself more fixed on what he will do next with Kingdom Hearts & Final Fantasy 7 Remake his want to express deep stories over multiple games that require your attention has captivated me the stories he is involved in normally give way to strong character who can hold my interest and it will be interesting to see if that continues with the future of Kingdom Hearts at least. Much

Pokémon Full Ranking List - Thoughts and Analysis

Around 2 months before the posting of this blog post I undertook a large task of ranking every single Pokémon. All 898 as of the end of the Crown Tundra each Pokémon ranked in my personal order of preference. A long stretch of work but very much worth it. While I don't want to go through this all one by one I want to cover a few key points and will attached the full list for your viewing pleasure should you wish to check it through yourself.  Top Six If we were to make a team of the top six Pokémon the team would be as follows: Blaziken Lucario Zoroark Greninja Toxtricity Scizor  What I noticed with this was when I find a favourite per generation I stick to that and it becomes a big favourite of mine (Alakazam and Lycanroc of generations one and seven respectively follow on the list) and most favourites are bipedal it takes until number 18 and Hydreigon as the first non bipedal Pokémon on the list (mainly because this Pokémon is always seen flying). Typings are also repeated here i

Quick Thoughts: AEW Full Gear 2020

For the final time in 2020 AEW presented a PPV this time being Full Gear. Last year Full Gear served well as a building block for Dynamite now with a little over a year of existence behind them AEW put together what many expected to be their best card to date at least on paper and that would be something I would agree with. The main question would be if it could live up to that billing. Buy In Match: NWA Women's Championship Match: Serena Deeb (c) vs. Allysin Kay First of all Allysin Kay sign her up AEW thanks. Ok while the match itself was good and I do look forward to seeing Thunder Rosa vs. Deeb (providing it happens in AEW) but I do wonder if AEW is focusing too much on the NWA Women's title and the time could be used for their own women's title. Anyway Serena is a solid signing I just wish we could get focus on her for the AEW Women's title. However, with this I think this can help establish Deeb as a legit competitor for the future of the division, I do think all

This is a direct continuation to the rework of the Ares season of the anime. If you haven't read that please do so before reading this https://ramblingsofenglishman.blogspot.com/2020/05/anime-rework-inazuma-eleven-ares.html .  Following on from Inazuma Eleven Ares no Tenbin the next series Orion no Kokuin followed the protagonists of the first season as they took on the world in the Inazuma Eleven equivalent of the World Cup the Football Frontier International (FFI for short). A series brimming with potential that unfortunately was rushed and had the legs cut out from under it in what seems like a season of content. In relation to this my rework into the series doesn't take into account the series being cut, I'm looking at this at the scale Inazuma Japan To begin with we need to look at the team that will be involved. I've gone with a 21 team squad as while the 24 man squad was good it limited character potential and by cutting 3 I have a bit of room with work with
