LET’S-A-GO! — The Super Mario Bros Final Trailer!

Advertisements

Illumination and Nintendo released the final trailer of the highly anticipated Super Mario film.

There was little to no description on what the story was going to be centered on, back when we first shared the news of this upcoming film. Now we have a in-depth description.

According to the trailer’s description, while working underground to fix a water main, Brooklyn plumbers Mario (Chris Pratt) and brother Luigi (Charlie Day) are transported down a mysterious pipe and wander into a magical new world. But when the brothers are separated, Mario embarks on an epic quest to find Luigi.

With the assistance of a Mushroom Kingdom resident Toad (Keegan-Michael Key) and some training from the strong-willed ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy), Mario taps into his own power.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie features an extraordinary comedic cast, including Jack Black (Jumanji films) as Bowser, Seth Rogen (Neighbors franchise) as Donkey Kong, Fred Armisen (Portlandia, Saturday Night Live) as Cranky Kong, Kevin Michael Richardson (American Dad!, Family Guy) as Kamek and Sebastian Maniscalco (Green Book) as Spike, plus a special voice appearance by Charles Martinet, who has voiced the characters of Mario and Luigi in the Super Mario games for more than 30 years.

This is the third film adaptation of the game franchise following the 1986 Japanese animated adventure comedy film Super Mario Bros.: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach! and the terrible but cult classic, 1993 live-action film Super Mario Bros

The film was initially set to be released on April 7, 2023 but changed to April 5th with Japan opening on April 28th.

Yusuke Murata Illustrator of One-Punch Man to release original Anime series – Zaiyuki

Advertisements

Yusuke Murata, most notably known as the Illustrator of One Punch Man, took to Twitter to tease his newest project, Zaiyuki, an original anime series produced by his animation studio, Village Studio. As fans may remember, Yusuke Murata set up his animation studio while working on One-Punch Man, and he is finally ready for his first production.

In late February, Murata released a teaser video via Twitter showcasing the main characters of Zaiyuki, including character sketches. 

Earlier this week, Murata released “A Part” of Zaiyuki via Twitter in two tweets since the sneak peek video was too long for one tweet alone. According to the Murata’s tweets, he states since ‘A Part’ was completed, he decided to add subtitles and release it to the public.

According to Murata’s Twitter account, the story is based on The Journey to the West with a modern twist. The story centers around a weak Kappa or water sprite boy who gets caught up in turmoil and has to grow up quickly after encountering a group of treasure hunters. 

There has yet to be an official date on when Zaiyuki will be released or how many episodes it will contain; however, with the high-quality work of Murata’s work as an Illustrator, we can expect a high-quality animation and story from this upcoming original animation. We’re definitely in for a treat!

NEW Pokemon Series Trailer

Advertisements

It is shocking to think that, after 25 years, Ash Ketchum will no longer be the face of the Pokemon Anime series. As covered in our article back in December, The Pokemon Company announced Ash Ketchum’s departure from the anime series shortly after achieving his long dream of becoming a Pokemon Master in the 42nd episode of Pokémon Ultimate Journeys.

The New Pokemon Leads

Meet Liko, Roy, and their partner Pokemon, Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly. Liko and Ray are set to star in a brand new Pokemon series set to air in April 2023, alongside a new Pokemon Professor, Friede, and his partner Pokemon, Captain Pikachu.

LIKO

Described as “The girl with the awe-inspiring pendant.”, Liko has a crystal-like pendant that seems to have some power, hinting at a possible connection between the pendent itself and certain Pokemon. Maybe it can produce a rare, special ability? Could the pendant have something to do with Terapagos’ small hexagonal protrusion on the center of its shell or Ogerpon’s crystal-like object on its mask?

ROY

Roy is described as “the boy with the mysterious Poke Ball” Could this be old, ancient technology? New, secret technology? Something made by Friede, perhaps…?

FRIEDE & CAPT. PIKACHU

Not much is known of Professor Friede and his Pokemon, Captain Pikachu. They seem laid back but ready to fight if given no choice. Based on the trailer, Professor Friede is passionate about his work as a Pokemon researcher.

The New Trailer

There is no exact title for this new series; however, according to the newly released trailer, the series is set to air on April 14th in Japan. No word yet, on its English dub or cast. Watch the trailer below for a sneak peek at the upcoming journey, new villains, and familiar faces from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

What do you guys think of the new series without Ash? Will you be watching? We’d love to hear from you; Comment your opinions below!
