It’s been quite a ride from the little boy who ran out to save his friend while being completely powerless to the powerful hero who saved the world from destruction. As a simple shonen anime about heroes and villains, My Hero Academia was a decent telling of a story about young heroes coming into their … Continue reading There goes my hero. (My Hero Aca spoilers)

One Piece Volume 79
Today is the day we finish up Dressrosa. Not my favorite arc in the series by any means, but it still had some pretty solid highlights throughout. Although it was dragged out like crazy in the anime, the fact that the fighters and people had to defend Luffy for 10 minutes as he regained his … Continue reading One Piece Volume 79
One Piece Volume 78
It’s the middle of summer vacation, my computer has fully given up the ghost so I’m writing this on my old computer which thankfully still runs relatively well and I’m generally not in the greatest of mood to write right now, but the show must go on, so let’s do a bit of a shorter … Continue reading One Piece Volume 78
One Piece Volume 77
Volume 77 is one of those volumes where a lot happens, but let’s not ignore the little bits. As some of you might know, Oda starts off every volume with a short little bit of text, usually it’s a bunch of nonsense about whatever happens to be on his mind at the time. This volume … Continue reading One Piece Volume 77
Stay away from negative reviews
I know, I know, it’s probably not the most logical thing to say as someone who regularly reviews manga and anime, but I think it’s still good advice. Let me explain myself. After a friend of mine recommended that I watch the recent Kaiju No. 8, I went and binged the entire show in a … Continue reading Stay away from negative reviews
One Piece Volume 76
We’re deep into the action of Dressrosa now. There’s much to talk about, so let’s not waste any time. We’ll start with Kin’emon and Kanjuro. Kin’emon’s primary reason for wanting to come to Dressrosa is to find Kanjuro, his samurai companion that he got separated from after something happened. This has been his sole reason … Continue reading One Piece Volume 76
Roses, thorns and the French revolution
When I first started watching anime - or at least started watching it while understanding that they were cartoons made in Japan - it was 2009. I was 17 years old. Because that time is when I got into anime properly, I’ve mainly watched shows that came out in the 2010s and the 2020s. I’ve … Continue reading Roses, thorns and the French revolution
One Piece Volume 75
With Sugar being down and out for the count, it seems like the tide might finally turn on Dressrosa. Not just Robin, but all the people - and wild animals - that have been turned into toys over the past ten years have suddenly reverted to their normal state. On top of that, everyone’s memories … Continue reading One Piece Volume 75
One Piece Volume 74
We’re now well into the middle of Dressrosa and that explains why this volume is so thick. It feels bigger than most of the other volumes in this box and a lot happens, so strap in. Just like with the last volume, let’s go through each important story separately instead of getting too focused on … Continue reading One Piece Volume 74
One Piece Volume 72
Last week we introduced a whole new colorful cast with all the participants in Doflamingo’s big coliseum. And let’s not forget what’s on the line: The Mera Mera no Mi. Ace’s old devil fruit grew somewhere and then Doflamingo got his hands on it. Luffy of course doesn’t want this fruit to go to the … Continue reading One Piece Volume 72
