One Piece Volume 25

We’re now 25 volumes into the story and we’ve firmly made it into the 21st century. This volume came out in 2002 even, but I’m confident the chapters were earlier. This volume is a great combination of funny chapters, action panels and an unholy amount of new lore. So without wasting time, let’s get right … Continue reading One Piece Volume 25 →

The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 17

I promised I’d go through these volumes quickly and this volume is a lot more action packed than the previous one. Generally action scenes in manga don’t require a whole lot of discussion but Magus Bride is much more interesting in the way that it portrays its fights. It’s never about the fights, it’s about … Continue reading The Ancient Magus Bride – Volume 17 →

Netflix’s One Piece

Man oh man, did I think I was going to just pretend this wasn’t happening. But unfortunately we live in a world where a One Piece live action is happening and there’s nothing we can do about it. Live action adaptations of anime have a pretty bad track record, I personally can’t think of a … Continue reading Netflix’s One Piece →

Solo Leveling Review (Spoilers)

I first started reading Solo Leveling quite a few years ago. It came highly recommended so I gave it a shot. I read up until the job quest and got bored of the story around that point so I stopped reading it. After repeated recommendations recently I decided to give it another shot. This time … Continue reading Solo Leveling Review (Spoilers) →

One Piece Chapter 1085 (Spoilers)

I know I’ve mainly been talking about the older volumes of One Piece on here. I’m not great at looking at every small detail of a manga and making an interesting post out of it, so I mainly just look at bigger pictures and pick out a few interesting details to talk about. But after … Continue reading One Piece Chapter 1085 (Spoilers) →

Manga Quick Reviews: The Breaker Vol. 5, Wave, listen to me Vol. 9 & Yuru Camp Vol. 13

I’ve been doing quick reviews for anime for a while now, and it’s one of my favorite kinds of posts to write. Now, writing about the manga you read in the past month/week/quarter isn’t exactly a new idea, but many of my ideas aren’t new. Better to steal a good idea from someone else than … Continue reading Manga Quick Reviews: The Breaker Vol. 5, Wave, listen to me Vol. 9 & Yuru Camp Vol. 13 →

One Piece Volume 17

My staff and I often go to a very noisy Japanese restaurant where a lot of people take their children. There are TVs at each table. If you go there on Sunday nights at 7:30, you’ll see the children staring at the TV screens with their mouths wide open, looking silly.They’re watching One Piece.When I … Continue reading One Piece Volume 17 →

Treasure Chest of Courage

If you’ve been following this blog along for the past few years, you’ll know that I’m a big fan of slice of life shows. Shows in which the plot doesn’t really move forward at all, but characters just kind of exist in the world they live in. What’s vital to the success of these kinds … Continue reading Treasure Chest of Courage →

Quick Reviews: Farming Life, In/Spectre S2, Angel Next Door, Reincarnated Princess

I know that we’ve already done two of these at the tailend of the winter season, but I watched a whopping 28 shows that season which means there’s still things left to talk about. If you missed the first two quick reviews I did, you can find them here and here. If you’re all caught … Continue reading Quick Reviews: Farming Life, In/Spectre S2, Angel Next Door, Reincarnated Princess →

One Piece Volume 15

Today we’re looking at the 15th Volume of One Piece. Last week we read about the conclusion to Mr. 3’s candle wax statue and this week we continue to finish up the little garden arc. It turns out both giants are still alive. Their weapons are old and haven’t been able to properly deal enough … Continue reading One Piece Volume 15 →
