The Sonic the Hedgehog Movie Trailer Has Dropped … (itwasmeh)

May 1, 2019 rizuki

Today, Paramount Pictures unveiled the first trailer for the Sonic the Hedgehog film that will hit theaters on November 8th. Reviews have been … mixed, to say the least. As someone who has been a fan of Sonic and his crew since 1991, I have been optimistic and excited about this movie. What could its plot be? Would the rest of his friends be there? Will we see Tails, Knuckles, and Amy, at least? Detective Pikachu definitely thundershocked away many naysayers,…

Distant Worlds: Music From Final Fantasy @ Otakon 2018

August 25, 2018 rizuki

I’ve been a huge fan of Final Fantasy since I stumbled upon Final Fantasy 7 in the late 1990s. I loved everything, from the memorable characters, the epic plot, and the sensational music. Final Fantasy 7 was the start of my wonderful journey through multiple worlds of creativity. With all the hype surrounding Final Fantasy lately thanks to the remakes and remasters for Final Fantasy 7 and 8, and with Otakon 2019 right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to discuss the Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy concert held at last…

March 6, 2018 rizuki

Otakon was held at the Baltimore Convention Center from 1999-2016. In 2017, the convention moved to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. So…how was the move? How did the convention transition? Should you attend in 2018? Read on and decide for yourself! Dealers’ Room One of the issues at the Baltimore Convention Center (BCC) was how crowded the Dealers’ Room could get. Saturdays became hard to walk through, and it was simply a no-go for anyone with a larger cosplay on….

In Defense Of: The Sailor Starlights – Sailor Moon 25th Anniversary!

March 10, 2017 rizuki

If you know me, you know that the Sailor Starlights are some of my all time favorite characters from Sailor Moon. And if you didn’t know – yay, now you do! They were minor characters in the manga that helped to tell a story and guide Sailor Moon toward a fight she never wanted but had to battle. In the anime, they became major characters with more personality to them although it still wasn’t much to work with and a lot…

February 2nd, 1994. It was a week after my birthday and I was incredibly excited to get out of school and go to Toys’R’Us to pick up my belated birthday gift on what Sega had dubbed “Hedgehog Day.” And they haven’t forgotten about that either, if the video posted by Sonic the Hedgehog’s social media has anything to say about that. For most people, February 2nd is Groundhog Day; for me and others, it’s definitely the day Sonic 3 game out for…

It’s Morphin’ Time .. Or Is It? Thoughts on the New Power Rangers Movie Trailer!

January 20, 2017 rizuki

I am a gigantic fan of the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers; I have been since the early ’90s. I stopped watching the show after the 1995 movie and it wasn’t until almost 20 years later that I found out the series hadn’t ended with the movie – nor had the fandom. The nostalgia for the Power Rangers has only gotten bigger and stronger to the point that there are tons of new merchandise to choose from, new comics and spin-offs, and… a new movie….

Carrie Fisher: She Drowned in Moonlight, Strangled by Her Own Bra

December 27, 2016 rizuki

This post is going to be ridiculously hard for me. Partly because I’m using dictation on my computer to speak-type as my right hand is in a wrist brace rendering me unable to type. The other part is…because if I say the words, then it settles in that it’s real, it happened, and I don’t know if I can handle that. Regardless, dictation and I will try. Let’s start happy – This is the Carrie I’ll remember. Take a moment to…
