00:00:00,250 --> 00:00:02,491
What is Emara: Emirates Hero?

2
00:00:12,386 --> 00:00:14,241
Here we are!
And this is...

3
00:00:14,241 --> 00:00:15,621
Alfrely!

4
00:00:16,981 --> 00:00:20,667
Emara: Emirates Hero is
a webseries by Eating Stars Studios,

5
00:00:20,667 --> 00:00:23,174
from United Arab Emirates,

6
00:00:23,174 --> 00:00:24,545
and created by Fatma Almedi,

7
00:00:24,545 --> 00:00:28,775
which premiered in 2018
through the youtube channel Emara.

8
00:00:28,775 --> 00:00:31,271
This is an action series
with a pinch of comedy,

9
00:00:31,271 --> 00:00:33,763
aimed at teens,
telling the story of Moza

10
00:00:33,763 --> 00:00:37,563
an Emirati girl that helps her mother
attending to her restaurant.

11
00:00:37,563 --> 00:00:39,989
But secretly Moza
becomes Emara,

12
00:00:39,989 --> 00:00:42,545
a superheroine
who fights evil with her own hands,

13
00:00:42,545 --> 00:00:45,229
which can transform
into different devices.

14
00:00:45,229 --> 00:00:47,197
She prefers working alone,

15
00:00:47,197 --> 00:00:49,327
although in some cases Dhabian,

16
00:00:49,327 --> 00:00:51,426
a guy who can transform his own legs,

17
00:00:51,426 --> 00:00:52,736
comes to help.

18
00:00:52,736 --> 00:00:55,104
Despite being loved by people,

19
00:00:55,104 --> 00:00:57,121
Emara made many enemies:

20
00:00:57,121 --> 00:00:59,523
not only the police is after her,

21
00:00:59,523 --> 00:01:02,648
but also due to a bounty on her head,

22
00:01:02,648 --> 00:01:05,542
many criminals and organizations try
to capture her.

23
00:01:05,542 --> 00:01:08,054
While Emara looks for
whoever offered the reward,

24
00:01:08,054 --> 00:01:11,055
she doesn't know Dhabian works
for a mysterious organization,

25
00:01:11,055 --> 00:01:13,443
and supports her
only to gain her trust...

26
00:01:13,443 --> 00:01:15,383
...and this way,
be able to capture her.

27
00:01:15,383 --> 00:01:19,383
Our protagonist is Moza,
better known as Emara.

28
00:01:19,383 --> 00:01:22,049
She is a joyful and somewhat clumsy girl.

29
00:01:22,049 --> 00:01:23,839
She is in good terms with her mom,

30
00:01:23,839 --> 00:01:26,885
and she gladly helps her
with the restaturant's tasks.

31
00:01:26,885 --> 00:01:29,479
As Emara she is a brave
and intrepid girl,

32
00:01:29,479 --> 00:01:31,679
with a great sense of justice,

33
00:01:31,679 --> 00:01:34,180
who risks her safety
to save others,

34
00:01:34,180 --> 00:01:37,797
thanks to her powers to transform
at will her hands in different devices,

35
00:01:37,797 --> 00:01:39,723
such as rockets, hooks and cannons.

36
00:01:39,723 --> 00:01:42,678
On the other hand,
although she is nice to her fans,

37
00:01:42,678 --> 00:01:44,609
in reality she's not very friendly,

38
00:01:44,609 --> 00:01:46,903
as she is not interested
in knowing Dhabian...

39
00:01:46,903 --> 00:01:49,977
...and almost seems annoyed
that he intervenes in her fights.

40
00:01:49,977 --> 00:01:52,895
Speaking of Dhabian:
he is a valiant and daring guy...

41
00:01:52,895 --> 00:01:55,798
who tries to please Emara
with his charmismatic personality,

42
00:01:55,798 --> 00:01:58,834
and to be accepted as her partner
in the fight against crime.

43
00:01:58,834 --> 00:02:02,610
However, this is a disguise of Sultan,
the name he uses as a civilian.

44
00:02:02,610 --> 00:02:05,033
He has the mission of discovering
Emara's identity

45
00:02:05,033 --> 00:02:06,273
...in order to catch her.

46
00:02:06,273 --> 00:02:10,513
Ironically, although Dhabian has
Emara's power but in his legs,

47
00:02:10,513 --> 00:02:13,385
in reality Sultan is in a wheelchair.

48
00:02:13,385 --> 00:02:17,385
Also, as Sultan he is a client
of Moza's mother's restaurant,

49
00:02:17,385 --> 00:02:19,567
they know each other as civilians,

50
00:02:19,567 --> 00:02:21,786
even though none of them realized it.

51
00:02:21,786 --> 00:02:24,025
Among the supporting characters
we have Maitha,

52
00:02:24,025 --> 00:02:26,721
Moza's mother, owner of the restaurant,

53
00:02:26,721 --> 00:02:28,717
she doesn't know her daughter's secret,

54
00:02:28,717 --> 00:02:31,521
and Jassim, a cop who is Moza's uncle...

55
00:02:31,521 --> 00:02:33,638
...and is trying to capture Emara.

56
00:02:33,638 --> 00:02:37,293
As antagonists we have Omar,
boss of a criminal gang...

57
00:02:37,293 --> 00:02:39,469
...who only looks for Emara
for the reward,

58
00:02:39,469 --> 00:02:42,809
Zeina who is the boss
of the mysterious organization,

59
00:02:42,809 --> 00:02:45,952
and who sends Sultan undercover
to capture Emara.

60
00:02:45,952 --> 00:02:49,247
And another villain
we don't know much about.

61
00:02:49,247 --> 00:02:53,247
Up to date, Emara has
a season of five episodes,

62
00:02:53,247 --> 00:02:56,530
during around ten minutes each,

63
00:02:56,530 --> 00:03:00,670
and it's not confirmed yet
if there will be a second season.

64
00:03:00,887 --> 00:03:03,287
If you like superheroes, mysteries,

65
00:03:03,287 --> 00:03:06,620
and action series like Teen Titans,
then Emara is for you.

66
00:03:06,620 --> 00:03:08,740
The series is quite influenced by anime,

67
00:03:08,740 --> 00:03:11,809
and some even label it as
Arabian Miraculous Ladybug...

68
00:03:11,809 --> 00:03:13,945
...due the dynamic between the characters,

69
00:03:13,945 --> 00:03:16,543
but Emara isn't as childish as Miraculous.

70
00:03:16,543 --> 00:03:20,543
Personally,
we quite liked this first season.

71
00:03:20,543 --> 00:03:22,687
At first it takes time to kickstart,

72
00:03:22,687 --> 00:03:26,157
but the last two episodes
turn out quite well.

73
00:03:26,157 --> 00:03:28,720
The characters' designs
and expressions are very good,

74
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,304
and the opening song is beautiful.

75
00:03:31,304 --> 00:03:34,303
Also, there are some details
to make theories about the series,

76
00:03:34,303 --> 00:03:35,848
which delights us.

77
00:03:35,848 --> 00:03:38,465
However, something we didn't like,

78
00:03:38,465 --> 00:03:39,720
and that is alarming,

79
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:46,080
is that apparently the opening was
too inspired by other artists' work,

80
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,279
to the point of bordering on plagiarism.

81
00:03:48,279 --> 00:03:50,869
We don't know
if they were trying to pay homage...

82
00:03:50,869 --> 00:03:52,986
...to the shows they like
and it didn't work,

83
00:03:52,986 --> 00:03:55,606
or if they genuinely did it
with bad intentions.

84
00:03:55,606 --> 00:03:58,718
But for now we will give them
the benefit of the doubt,

85
00:03:58,718 --> 00:04:02,498
and assume they didn't know
how to reference without plagiarizing,

86
00:04:02,498 --> 00:04:05,465
since the story, characters,
and designs in general...

87
00:04:05,465 --> 00:04:07,506
...seem to be completely original.

88
00:04:07,506 --> 00:04:09,394
If you are interested in watching it,

89
00:04:09,394 --> 00:04:12,365
in the description
and the tab in the upper corner...

90
00:04:12,365 --> 00:04:16,365
...we'll leave links to the first episode
in the series' official channel.

91
00:04:16,365 --> 00:04:19,064
The episodes can be found
in Arabic and English,

92
00:04:19,064 --> 00:04:20,614
but with Spanish subtititles.

93
00:04:20,614 --> 00:04:22,001
And this is Emara.

94
00:04:22,001 --> 00:04:23,264
Tells us in the comments

95
00:04:23,264 --> 00:04:25,579
if you already knew it,
and what you think.

96
00:04:25,579 --> 00:04:27,950
Tell us if you want
to see more Emara videos,

97
00:04:27,950 --> 00:04:30,244
and of what other series
you want a "what is?",

98
00:04:30,244 --> 00:04:31,669
if you like the video...

99
00:04:31,669 --> 00:04:33,736
...give a like
and subscirbe to the channel.

100
00:04:33,736 --> 00:04:38,126
