Sonic The Hedgehog (Satam) Review



Greetings Ladies and Gents! It is I, The Shaman of Animation back again with another review! The year was 1993 and video game icon Sonic The Hedgehog was seemingly on top of the world: he was still very big competition for Mario, Sega was going strong with their consoles with him being their mascot. And his fanbase couldn't be summed up with this one clip:


Of course back in the day, if you were a successful movie, toy, or game, you were given a cartoon to cash in on said success...which is a practice that still happens today but it was more frequent back then. And the blue blur was no stranger to getting cartoons himself. One of which we'll be looking at right now. Let's jump into Sonic Satam!

Naruto Gaiden Review


Greetings Ladies and Gents! It is I, The Shaman of Animation back again with a new review. As I'm sure we all know, late last year Naruto finally came to a conclusion. Shortly after, a miniseries that served as the sequel to Naruto was announced: Naruto Gaiden. After my goodbye letter to Naruto back in November, I wasn't sure if I wanted to come back and read Gaiden. Quite frankly the last few years of the original Naruto series became a train wreck that constantly tested my patience to no end and I just didn't care anymore by the time the series ended...

But while I could probably do at least a five thousand word essay on everything that went wrong with the original Naruto series, that's not why we're here. Today, we're here to take a look at the sequel to Naruto: Naruto Gaiden!

Shaman's 'Celebrity Deathmatch' Dream list



Greetings Ladies and Gents! It is I, The Shaman of Animation back again with a new discussion topic. People, I am a fan of the series Celebrity Deathmatch. The idea of celebrities of today and yesterday fighting each other to the death in an over the top claymation show has entertained me so. I won't say I've watched the show since the beginning, but its sixth season in 2006 made me a fan. So when a couple of months ago, the folks at MTV announced they were bringing the show back, I was very excited of the possible match ups for the show now with so much insanity in Hollywood nowadays. So much so that I came up with a list of personal face offs that I would love to see on the show in its newest incarnation.
