    What is Emara: Emirates Hero?
  • 0:12 - 0:14
    Here we are!
    And this is...
  • 0:14 - 0:16
    Alfrely!
  • 0:17 - 0:21
    Emara: Emirates Hero is
    a webseries by Eating Stars Studios,
  • 0:21 - 0:23
    from United Arab Emirates,
  • 0:23 - 0:25
    and created by Fatma Almedi,
  • 0:25 - 0:29
    which premiered in 2018
    through the youtube channel Emara.
  • 0:29 - 0:31
    This is an action series
    with a pinch of comedy,
  • 0:31 - 0:34
    aimed at teens,
    telling the story of Moza
  • 0:34 - 0:38
    an Emirati girl that helps her mother
    attending to her restaurant.
  • 0:38 - 0:40
    But secretly Moza
    becomes Emara,
  • 0:40 - 0:43
    a superheroine
    who fights evil with her own hands,
  • 0:43 - 0:45
    which can transform
    into different devices.
  • 0:45 - 0:47
    She prefers working alone,
  • 0:47 - 0:49
    although in some cases Dhabian,
  • 0:49 - 0:51
    a guy who can transform his own legs,
  • 0:51 - 0:53
    comes to help.
  • 0:53 - 0:55
    Despite being loved by people,
  • 0:55 - 0:57
    Emara made many enemies:
  • 0:57 - 1:00
    not only the police is after her,
  • 1:00 - 1:03
    but also due to a bounty on her head,
  • 1:03 - 1:06
    many criminals and organizations try
    to capture her.
  • 1:06 - 1:08
    While Emara looks for
    whoever offered the reward,
  • 1:08 - 1:11
    she doesn't know Dhabian works
    for a mysterious organization,
  • 1:11 - 1:13
    and supports her
    only to gain her trust...
  • 1:13 - 1:15
    ...and this way,
    be able to capture her.
  • 1:15 - 1:19
    Our protagonist is Moza,
    better known as Emara.
  • 1:19 - 1:22
    She is a joyful and somewhat clumsy girl.
  • 1:22 - 1:24
    She is in good terms with her mom,
  • 1:24 - 1:27
    and she gladly helps her
    with the restaturant's tasks.
  • 1:27 - 1:29
    As Emara she is a brave
    and intrepid girl,
  • 1:29 - 1:32
    with a great sense of justice,
  • 1:32 - 1:34
    who risks her safety
    to save others,
  • 1:34 - 1:38
    thanks to her powers to transform
    at will her hands in different devices,
  • 1:38 - 1:40
    such as rockets, hooks and cannons.
  • 1:40 - 1:43
    On the other hand,
    although she is nice to her fans,
  • 1:43 - 1:45
    in reality she's not very friendly,
  • 1:45 - 1:47
    as she is not interested
    in knowing Dhabian...
  • 1:47 - 1:50
    ...and almost seems annoyed
    that he intervenes in her fights.
  • 1:50 - 1:53
    Speaking of Dhabian:
    he is a valiant and daring guy...
  • 1:53 - 1:56
    who tries to please Emara
    with his charmismatic personality,
  • 1:56 - 1:59
    and to be accepted as her partner
    in the fight against crime.
  • 1:59 - 2:03
    However, this is a disguise of Sultan,
    the name he uses as a civilian.
  • 2:03 - 2:05
    He has the mission of discovering
    Emara's identity
  • 2:05 - 2:06
    ...in order to catch her.
  • 2:06 - 2:11
    Ironically, although Dhabian has
    Emara's power but in his legs,
  • 2:11 - 2:13
    in reality Sultan is in a wheelchair.
  • 2:13 - 2:17
    Also, as Sultan he is a client
    of Moza's mother's restaurant,
  • 2:17 - 2:20
    they know each other as civilians,
  • 2:20 - 2:22
    even though none of them realized it.
  • 2:22 - 2:24
    Among the supporting characters
    we have Maitha,
  • 2:24 - 2:27
    Moza's mother, owner of the restaurant,
  • 2:27 - 2:29
    she doesn't know her daughter's secret,
  • 2:29 - 2:32
    and Jassim, a cop who is Moza's uncle...
  • 2:32 - 2:34
    ...and is trying to capture Emara.
  • 2:34 - 2:37
    As antagonists we have Omar,
    boss of a criminal gang...
  • 2:37 - 2:39
    ...who only looks for Emara
    for the reward,
  • 2:39 - 2:43
    Zeina who is the boss
    of the mysterious organization,
  • 2:43 - 2:46
    and who sends Sultan undercover
    to capture Emara.
  • 2:46 - 2:49
    And another villain
    we don't know much about.
  • 2:49 - 2:53
    Up to date, Emara has
    a season of five episodes,
  • 2:53 - 2:57
    during around ten minutes each,
  • 2:57 - 3:01
    and it's not confirmed yet
    if there will be a second season.
  • 3:01 - 3:03
    If you like superheroes, mysteries,
  • 3:03 - 3:07
    and action series like Teen Titans,
    then Emara is for you.
  • 3:07 - 3:09
    The series is quite influenced by anime,
  • 3:09 - 3:12
    and some even label it as
    Arabian Miraculous Ladybug...
  • 3:12 - 3:14
    ...due the dynamic between the characters,
  • 3:14 - 3:17
    but Emara isn't as childish as Miraculous.
  • 3:17 - 3:21
    Personally,
    we quite liked this first season.
  • 3:21 - 3:23
    At first it takes time to kickstart,
  • 3:23 - 3:26
    but the last two episodes
    turn out quite well.
  • 3:26 - 3:29
    The characters' designs
    and expressions are very good,
  • 3:29 - 3:31
    and the opening song is beautiful.
  • 3:31 - 3:34
    Also, there are some details
    to make theories about the series,
  • 3:34 - 3:36
    which delights us.
  • 3:36 - 3:38
    However, something we didn't like,
  • 3:38 - 3:40
    and that is alarming,
  • 3:40 - 3:46
    is that apparently the opening was
    too inspired by other artists' work,
  • 3:46 - 3:48
    to the point of bordering on plagiarism.
  • 3:48 - 3:51
    We don't know
    if they were trying to pay homage...
  • 3:51 - 3:53
    ...to the shows they like
    and it didn't work,
  • 3:53 - 3:56
    or if they genuinely did it
    with bad intentions.
  • 3:56 - 3:59
    But for now we will give them
    the benefit of the doubt,
  • 3:59 - 4:02
    and assume they didn't know
    how to reference without plagiarizing,
  • 4:02 - 4:05
    since the story, characters,
    and designs in general...
  • 4:05 - 4:08
    ...seem to be completely original.
  • 4:08 - 4:09
    If you are interested in watching it,
  • 4:09 - 4:12
    in the description
    and the tab in the upper corner...
  • 4:12 - 4:16
    ...we'll leave links to the first episode
    in the series' official channel.
  • 4:16 - 4:19
    The episodes can be found
    in Arabic and English,
  • 4:19 - 4:21
    but with Spanish subtititles.
  • 4:21 - 4:22
    And this is Emara.
  • 4:22 - 4:23
    Tells us in the comments
  • 4:23 - 4:26
    if you already knew it,
    and what you think.
  • 4:26 - 4:28
    Tell us if you want
    to see more Emara videos,
  • 4:28 - 4:30
    and of what other series
    you want a "what is?",
  • 4:30 - 4:32
    if you like the video...
  • 4:32 - 4:34
    ...give a like
    and subscirbe to the channel.
  • 4:34 - 4:38
