Fairy Tail 100 Year Quest Chapters 49 and 50 Review - The Last Orb and The Wood Dragon God's Secret

Written by Shiggins

Well... she ain't no Fire-God-Senku.

It's crazy to realise this, but this arc on top of a giant wooden dragon is still going! And I've enjoyed it for the majority of it's time on this grey Earth, but it's certainly been a long one. We've fought Fairy Tail members, dragon eaters, witches possessing Exceeds and we've still got more to go! I might be the only person in the world to say this, but I hope we get some good downtime filler after this arc ends because the pace is crazy today!

Oh please don't lead into a Zou arc...

Hero's - Manga Review

Written by Shiggins

On your left.

Crossovers are a lot of fun, aren't they? Characters you've enjoyed in their own worlds finally meeting each other in a unique situation, their personalities and egos clashing to create conflict, and depending on the story, they either team up to take on the other enemies that probably caused their meeting in the first place, or they fight to the death. In this 10 chapter series, Hiro Mashima decided to give us his own crossover, with his three biggest series Rave Master, Fairy Tail, and the currently-running Eden's Zero. It's a very cute and charming idea, but did he possibly make a mistake?

Note: Spoilers ahead.

The use of that apostrophe really upsets me...

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) - Movie Review

Written by Shiggins

A chick(en) flick! Birds!

With the exception of some casting choices remaining the same throughout the movies, I think it's safe to declare the DCEU officially dead. And honestly, it's clearly for the better. Movies like Aquaman, Shazam, Wonder Woman and now Birds of Prey are great proof that sometimes, it's better to have a solo adventure and ignore the complications of being part of a larger universe. Especially since a story like this would raise so many questions otherwise, such as "Where is Batman during all this?" or "Why would this Harley Quinn ever stoop so low as to date Jared Leto's Joker?"

Gotta say though, I really don't like the posters.

Eden's Zero Review - The Sun Jewel Arc

Written by Shiggins

An arc that shines?

Spanning from chapter 49 to 68, the Sun Jewel Arc almost feels like the conclusion of Eden's Zero's first major quest; Finding the four Shining Stars. We've had Witch, Sister and Hermit, with Hermit easily taking the prize for best arc so far at this point, so I think most of us was expecting another "Do the thing to get the person on our party" arc. Instead we got... something better, I'd say.

Note: SPOILERS for the Sun Jewel Arc.

That's just an assault on the eyes.

Fairy Tail 100 Year Quest Chapter 48 Review - Fifth Generation Dragon Force

Written by Shiggins

Ghost in the... girl?

Yeah, I couldn't think of a decent pun there so I just gave up. Hopefully, that's the only disappointment you experience in this review, as we take a look at returning faces, scary faces and faces getting a surprising amount of violence brought upon them. So sit back, relax, and get your face ready.

Did we ever get to see Wendy train in martial arts? Was it Roshi or Jiraiya? Or... Yamchaaaaa?
