Hey guys! So summer is finally here,
and as the weather gets warmer and the water parks starts opening, things are
going to be changing a little bit on this blog, plus I’m going to be
introducing some new stuff that I really hope you’ll get excited about! So
let’s not waste any time and look over everything that’s happening this summer
here on CanadianYeti Reviews!
What’s staying the same?
Monday editorial: No need to worry, the game industry
keeps making messes for me to heckle them on regardless of what time of year it
is. Every Monday will have a brand new editorial as I talk about something
related to gaming throughout the summer like I always have. I can tease that
this Monday’s has already been finished, and revisits the topic of review
embargos, introducing sites like Rotten Tomatoes into the mix. I’m also working
on editorials about Star Wars Battlefront
II and Assassin’s Creed Origins,
so you can expect those sometime soon.
Game reviews: I’ve got plenty of games to play this
summer, so you can expect plenty of these over the next few months. If you
missed it, I put up a review of ARMS
yesterday, and you can check that out right here. The next game I’ll be talking
about will be RiME, and the review
for that one will be going live as soon as I write it.
Movie reviews: I don’t know how many of these I’ll
be doing this summer, since I don’t really go see movies unless they’re
something I know will be worth investing time in the theatre to see. But I can
guarantee that you’ll be getting a Spider-Man:
Homecoming review around when the movie comes out (most likely on July 7).
What’s changing?
Star Wars Saturday: This
was a tough decision to make, but considering how hard I work on this series I
felt it was a necessary one. While my bi-weekly Star Wars article series isn’t stopping anytime soon (I have topics
planned out through next January if you can believe that), scheduling of stuff
like anime and TV reviews are forcing a change of date.
When Inhumans launches this Fall, it will be on Friday nights instead of
the Tuesday slot S.H.I.E.L.D held for
years. This means that reviews for both those shows will go live on Saturday
morning. Similarly, a lot of the anime I’m planning on checking out this summer
air on Saturdays. So I had a choice to make: either stick to the original
weekday and risk the Star Wars content
competing with Marvel TV and anime reviews every week it goes live, or change
things up.
So I came to what I think is a
reasonable decision. As of today, Star
Wars Saturday and the Marvel TV reviews are officially swapping spots on my
blog’s schedule. With Inhumans reviews
going live on Saturday mornings starting in the Fall, Star Wars content will now be on Wednesday mornings. Next
Wednesday’s article will be the first ever Star Wars Wednesday, and I hope you
all look forward to this change.
TV Reviews
Timeless reviews: While
I’m extremely happy that my near endless pushes for this show to be renewed
ended in victory, from what I’ve heard we’re in for a bit of a wait before we
see the return of the Time Team. So until then, these reviews are going to be
on hiatus.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D reviews: Same
as Timeless, Coulson and crew are
going on an intergalactic vacation until January, and I can’t exactly review
something when there isn’t any content for me to write about. I’m looking
forward to watching and reviewing Inhumans
in the fall, but for now our Marvel TV reviews are taking a break.
Steven Universe reviews: I’ll
keep this one simple. Whenever this show decides it wants to come back, these
reviews will be back as well.
Anime Reviews
Little Witch Academia reviews: Unless
the fansubs are delayed, my review of the season finale and final thoughts on Little Witch Academia will be up bright
and early Monday morning. I’m also planning on doing a review guide of sorts
once the show goes live on Netflix, so if you’ve been waiting for official
release and want a quick and easy way to read along what I thought of each episode,
that’ll be a good way of doing it. I’m really going to miss this anime, but I
still hope we’ll see more of it someday.
Re:Creators reviews: These
aren’t going anywhere either, but I may be formatting them a little different
(as I’m going to explain in a second). Needless to say I’ve been enjoying this
anime a lot, and I’m absolutely going to see it through to the end.
Summer anime reviews: So here’s where things are getting a
bit tricky. I’ve picked out quite a few anime to review over the course of the
summer, but as always I’m probably going to drop a couple of them. Until then,
I don’t really have any plans set in stone for what I will and won’t be
reviewing.
The tricky part is that a lot of these
shows are airing on either Saturday or Sunday. The problem with this is that if
I do end up reviewing all the weekend shows, they might flood the blog. My
solution for this is the Weekly Anime
Review Roundup, where I review the episode of each show I watched one by
one in a single article each week. The Re:Creators
reviews will be included there from now on as well.
Like I said, I’m not 100% if I’ll be
going through with this plan yet as it all depends on which anime I decide to
watch and which I drop, but I’ll give an update in a few weeks on the
situation.
What’s new?
Salvation Reviews: So
this is a new show starting up in July I thought I’d check out. I know nothing
about it outside of the synopsis so I might just end up reviewing the pilot and
never watching the show again, but it’s worth a shot.
CanadianYeti Seasonal Specials: This is a project I’ve been thinking
about ever since I launched the bi-weekly Star
Wars content, and I’m finally ready to launch it!
Seasonal Specials is an entirely new
article series here, and it’s going to give me the freedom to write about more
unique topics instead of sticking to the usual reviews and occasional editorial
format I’ve been doing for over a year. How it’s going to work is every once in
a while I’ll pick a topic and do a few articles on it over the course of a few
weeks. It can be anything from extended top 10 lists to movies to games, as
long as it’s interesting and I have something to say about it.
The first Seasonal Special will start
sometime early on in July, and the theme is Summer of Stranger Things.
In preparation for the new season of Stranger
Things releasing later this year I’m finally going to watch the first
season and get all caught up. I’ll write an article about each of the 8
episodes over the course of 8 weeks, giving my thoughts on it and predictions
on where the story’s going to go.
So that’s my plans for the next few
months! As always thank you for reading, and I hope everyone has a great
summer!
