Bakugan (爆丸バトルブローラーズ)

Bakugan Battle Brawlers (爆丸バトルブローラーズ, Bakugan Batoru Burōrāzu?) is a Japanese action adventure[2] anime television series produced by TMS Entertainment and Japan Vistec under the direction of Mitsuo Hashimoto. The story centers on the lives of creatures called Bakugan and the battle brawlers who possess them. Though initially a failure in Japan, the series became popular in the United States and Canada, prompting the creation of a second series, New Vestroia, which aired in other countries before Japan. The third season, Gundalian Invaders, is currently broadcasting in the Canadian and US markets.



Plot

Main article: List of Bakugan Battle Brawlers characters

In the parallel world of Vestroia, a powerful Bakugan in search for power (a small marble magnetic sphere which when thrown on a gate card turns into a highly strong and powerful warrior) named Naga decides to absorb the energy of the two opposing cores that preserve the balance and peace in Vestroia. However he absorbed too much power and energy found within the Silent Core, the source of negative energy. The Infinity Core, the source of positive energy had been absorbed by Wavern.

In the first season, the story centers on six friends who find metallic cards which have fallen from the sky or to be more precise, Vestroia itself. They name themselves the Bakugan Battle Brawlers and consist of seven children: Dan, Shun, Runo, Marucho, Julie, Alice, and later Joe. Together they learn more about the origin of the Bakugan, Vestroia, the game involving them, and the battle against the Doom Beings.

In New Vestroia, Dan, Marucho, and Shun are called to the newly restored Vestroia to stop an alien race called the Vestals who invaded it. They allied with the Bakugan Battle Brawlers Resistance: Mira, Ace, and Baron in order to stop an evil group known as the Vexos from taking over New Vestroia, and possibly, the whole universe.

In Gundalian Invaders, Dan, Marucho and Shun get caught up in a war between two different alien factions in another universe, and teaming up with three new brawlers, Princess Fabia (Princess of Neathia), Jake (who is Human), and Ren (who is an undercover Gundalian) in order to stop the evil Gundalian Protectors, the Twelve Orders from destroying Neathia, and possibly, Earth. But Ren is secretly trying to get the Gundalians to win the war, so Fabia and her planet has been trusted by the Battle Brawlers and hopefully they'll protect Bakugan Interspace, Neathia (which is Fabia's home planet) and possibly Earth from being ruled by the Gundalians.

A strategic game called Bakugan was developed by Sega Toys and Spin Master and released in conjunction with the anime series, abeit released a year before the anime even started (2006). The game uses spherical, spring-loaded miniature figures, representing the Bakugan, which pop open when rolled onto special metal Gate cards. The objective of the game is to capture three Gate cards. To win a battle, you need to use the gate cards G-power boost and the Bakugan with the highest wins. You can change the rules of battle with ability cards.[9] Battle is engaged when opposing Bakugan magnetically pop open on the same Gate card. Each Bakugan has an attack strength called "G-Power", which can be modified by the Gate card landed on, Ability cards from players' hands,special optional pieces called Traps and some Bakugan carry Battle Gear; whichever Bakugan ends up with the highest total G-Power wins the battle and captures the Gate.

The game can also be played with up to four people. The rules remain the same as a regular game. Bakugan may also be played in Big game style where players use six Gate Cards, six Ability Cards and six Bakugan, instead of three of each as in a normal game. Instead of capturing three Gate Cards, a player must capture six to win the game.

The game has spawned numerous accessories, such as carry clips to store three Bakugan marbles at a time, launchers to fire the marbles at the game arena, soft plastic and hard plastic play area mats and special gauntlets (based on the ones used in the second season)

Street Fighter IV (ストリートファイター IV)

Street Fighter IV (ストリートファイター IV, sutorīto faitā fō?) is a 2008 fighting game produced by Capcom. It is the first numbered Street Fighter game released by Capcom for the arcades since 1999. The coin-operated arcade game was released in Japan on July 18, 2008, with North American arcades importing the machines by August. The console versions for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 were released in Japan on February 12, 2009, and were sold in North American stores as early as February 16, with a February 18 intended release date. The official European release was on February 20. A Windows version was released on July 2, 2009 in Japan, July 3, 2009 in Europe and July 7, 2009 in the US. A version for iOS was released on March 10, 2010. As of March 31, 2009, Street Fighter IV had sold over 3 million copies worldwide. An updated version, Super Street Fighter IV, was released as a standalone title in April 2010.


Gameplay

While Street Fighter IV features models and backgrounds rendered in 3D, the gameplay remains on a traditional 2D plane, with the camera having freedom to move in 3D at certain times during fights, for dramatic effect. Producer Yoshinori Ono has stated that he wanted to keep the game closer to Street Fighter II. A new system called "Focus Attacks" ("Saving Attack" for the Japanese version) has been introduced, as well as Ultra moves. The traditional six-button control scheme returns, with new features and special moves integrated into the input system, mixing classic gameplay with additional innovations.

Stephen Kleckner of 1UP.com has stated the game has a similar feel to Super Street Fighter II Turbo, but also has a few features from Street Fighter III 3rd Strike. As in Street Fighter III, throwing is performed by pressing both light attack buttons, while pressing both heavy attack buttons performs the character's personal action or taunt. Pressing both medium attack buttons performs a character's focus attack. Dashes and quick standing are also in the game. C.Viper is the only character who can perform a high jump.

It was intended that bonus rounds such as the car-smashing stage from earlier Street Fighter games would return. Ono later stated that the bonus stages would not be in the arcade game, citing the reason to be that the time players spend on bonus stages is time during which they have no chance of losing, which ultimately takes money from arcade operators.

Visuals

All the characters and environments in Street Fighter IV are rendered as 3D models with polygons, similar to the Street Fighter EX sub-series Capcom produced with Arika. However, there are a couple of key differences. Art director and character designer Daigo Ikeno, who previously worked on Street Fighter III 3rd Strike,opted for non-photorealistic rendering to give them a hand-drawn look, with visual effects accented in calligraphic strokes, ink smudges and ink sprays during the fights.

Focus Attacks

Focus Attacks, known as "Saving Attack" in the Japanese version, is a new system introduced in Street Fighter IV. The focus attack is a move that allows the player to absorb an attack and launch a counter attack, and it is performed by pressing the medium punch and kick buttons simultaneously. There are two phases to the attack. In the first phase, the player will shift into a new stance, at which point he or she is able to absorb a single hit from the opponent. The second phase is the counter attack. The longer the player holds down the medium punch and kick buttons, the more powerful the attack will be. If the buttons are held for long enough the attack will be unblockable and cause the opponent to crumple slowly to the ground, allowing the player to follow up with a free hit. Attacks that were absorbed during the first phase of a focus attack still cause damage to the player; however, life lost from the opponent's attack will be quickly regenerated afterward. In addition, during the first phase of the focus attack the player may perform a dash either forward or backward to cancel the focus attack. Finally, at the cost of half the super combo gauge, many special moves can be canceled into a focus attack. By executing a focus attack during the special move, the animation of the move will be cut short and go instantly into the focus attack animation. This allows players with precise timing to cancel special moves into focus attacks, and in turn cancel focus attacks into the forward dash, resulting in new combo possibilities. If a special move is blocked by the opponent, the new system allows players to cancel the blocked move with a focus attack, and then cancel the focus attack by dashing backward safely away from the opponent.

Ono has stated that this system was incorporated in order to shift the emphasis away from combos and toward a more realistic system he has compared to boxing, in which "the skill is in reading your opponent's move before he or she starts moving ... We haven't forgotten about combos and linked moves, but focus makes it so that you have to read your opponent."[19] The system aims to make ground attacks as viable a way of approaching opponents as jumping was in previous games. The focus system is a core part of Street Fighter IV's gameplay.

Ultra Combos

In addition to the powered-up versions of special moves introduced in previous Street Fighter games such as Super Combos and EX Special Moves, the game also introduces a new type of powered-up special move officially dubbed the Ultra Combo. Ultra Combos are long and cinematic moves featuring a lengthy combination of punches, kicks and other fighting techniques. Just as there is a Super Combo gauge, there is also an Ultra Combo gauge (officially known as the "Revenge Gauge" or "Revenge Meter"), but whereas the Super Combo gauge fills up when the player hits their opponent or performs a special move , the Revenge Gauge fills when one takes damage from their opponent (similar to the K Groove featured in Capcom vs. SNK 2). Along with the Super Combos, Ultra Combos are one of the only times (besides Zangief, E.Honda and Abel's command throws) the camera breaks from its normal fixed position to show a more dynamic, cinematic view of the gameplay.

Masashi Kishimoto, pengarang serial manga ini, dikutip dari wawancara terbaru dari Shonen Jump Amerika, mengatakan bahwa kehidupannya seperti Naruto ketika dia seumuran dengannya.

10 Oktober, hari ulang tahun Naruto, adalah Hari Olahraga dan Kesehatan ("Taiiku no hi" ) di Jepang (tempat dimana karakter ini dibuat), hari libur yang penuh dengan aktivitas olahraga dan fisik yang cocok untuk anak hiperaktif. Tetapi, hari itu dipindahkan ke Senin kedua bulan Oktober pada tahun 1999.

SpongeBob SquarePants

SpongeBob SquarePants adalah sebuah serial film animasi yang paling populer di Nickelodeon. Pada awalnya serial kartun ini ditayangkan pada tahun 1999 di Amerika Serikat dan dicipta oleh Stephen Hillenburg, seorang animator dan ahli biologi laut, dan diterbitkan oleh perusahaan beliau, United Plankton Pictures Inc. Seri kartun ini ditayangkan di Malaysia menerusi saluran Nickelodeon dan TV3, dan juga melalui saluran TV9 yang telah diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Melayu.



Di Indonesia serial ini dipopulerkan oleh Lativi (sekarang TvOne), kemudian hak tayang acara-acara yang diproduksi oleh Nickelodeon dibeli oleh Global TV. Kartun ini diciptakan oleh seorang ahli biologi laut dan animator Stephen Hillenburg dan lalu dirilis melalui perusahaannya United Plankton Pictures Inc. Serial ini settingnya berada di Samudra Pasifik di kota Bikini Bottom.

SpongeBob SquarePants ialah seekor spons yang tinggal dalam sebuah rumah nanas dalam laut di kota Bikini Bottom, manakala tetanggannya Squidward Tentacles ialah seekor gurita yang tinggal dalam rumah moai. Tetangga SpongeBob yang lain dan teman akrabnya, Patrick Star seekor bintang laut merah muda, tinggal di bawah sebuah batu. Rumah Squidward terletak di antara rumah Spongebob dan rumah Patrick, dan inilah yang meresahkan Squidward.

SpongeBob dan kawan-kawannya tinggal di kota Bikini Bottom dalam lautan Pasifik. Bikini Bottom dilihatkan sebagai sebuah kota biasa dengan pusat kota, pinggir kota, kawasan pantai, lapangan terbang, rangkaian bunga laut dan taman hiburan sendiri. Stephen Hillenburg pernah berkata bahawa Bikini Bottom direka lebih kurang berdasarkan kota Seattle, Washington.

Hewan peliharaan SpongeBob ialah seekor siput laut bernama Gary, yang "mengeong" seperti kucing. Meskipun tidak banyak berbicara (kecuali dalam beberapa episode), watak-watak lain kelihatan mampu memahaminya. Tambahan pula, cacing laut menyalak seperti anjing dan dirantai. Ubur-ubur disamakan dengan lebah; bunyi desas-desus, sengatan bisa (tetapi kelihatan seperti kejutan elektrik), dan menghasilkan "jeli" yang lezat, memperolok-olok nama "jellyfish" sambil membandingkan jeli dengan madu lebah. Ikan berperan sebagai warga kota tetapi tidak dijadikan tokoh penting.

SpongeBob yang penyerap, kuning, dan berlubang ini, bekerja sebagai juru masak di Krusty Krab, sebuah restoran makanan cepat saji, dimana Squidward juga bekerja sebagai kasir. Krusty Krab dimiliki Eugene H. Krabs (Mr. Krabs). Sheldon J. Plankton adalah musuh bebuyutan Krabs yang memiliki sebuah restoran makanan cepat saji bertaraf rendah bernama The Chum Bucket yang terletak berhadapan Krusty Krab. The Chum Bucket seolah-olah tidak pernah dikunjungi pelanggan, dan Plankton meluangkan kebanyakan waktunya untuk merancang peralatan untuk mencuri resep burger Krabby Patty milik Mr. Krabs. Plankton hanya berhasil mencuri resep itu dalam The Spongebob Squarepants Movie; formulanya tidak pernah diperlihatkan kepada penonton. Istri komputer Plankton, Karen, kadang-kala membantunya dalam rancangan jahatnya atau bertengkar dengannya.

Satu lagi kawan SpongeBob ialah Sandy Cheeks, seekor tupai yang berasal dari Texas dan tinggal di dalam kubah anti-air di Bikini Bottom. Dia diantar ke dalam lautan oleh majikan-majikannya yang berupa simpanse. Ketika di luar kubahnya, dia memakai baju seperti Astronot.

Penduduk Bikini Bottom mengendarai kapal seolah-olah mobil. SpongeBob masih belajar dalam sekolah mengemudi setelah gagal dalam ujian mengemudi (ada 2 versi tentang ketidaklulusan ini,yaitu 58 kali(menurut episode"Drive to Tears"),dan 1.000.006 kali(menurut episode"Mrs.Puff,you Fired"). Setiap pergerakan menghasilkan gelembung untuk mengingkatkan penonton bahawa cerita ini berlatarkan lautan. Namun begitu, terdapat babak-babak di mana terdapat selapisan air yang berasingan daripada air lautan (seperti adanya pantai) dan api bisa dinyalakan dalam lautan.

Watak

Tokoh utama Spongebob adalah sebuah spons laut berwarna kuning yang hidup bersama peliharaannya, Garry, seekor siput laut yang berperilaku sebagai kucing.

Spongebob tinggal bertetangga dengan sahabatnya Patrick, seekor bintang laut dan tetangga yang selalu memusuhinya: Squidward, seekor gurita yang tidak senang bersosialisasi, memiliki sifat penggerutu, dan hobi bermain Klarinet.

Kelucuan-kelucuan dalam cerita serial ini bersumber dari perilaku sehari-hari Spongebob yang polos, optimis, selalu ceria, dan memiliki prasangka baik terhadap siapapun.

Terkadang perilaku ini membawa bencana, dimanfaatkan, atau terjadi salah paham kala disatukan dengan sifat-sifat mahluk lain yang tinggal di Bikini Bottom.
