Fairy Tail 100 Years Chapters 120 to 123 Review

Retconning while naked is how true bonds are made.

You were probably wondering why this review took so long to happen. Usually I try to wait for two or three chapters before publishing one, but I didn't want the entire review to be bitching about Selene's personality change yet again, so I waited until something unique happened. Or at the very least, something other than Selene pretending she was good all along. So here's the review you were waiting for all along, with the usual bitching reduced to save time.

Sequels. Always doing the same thing but new.

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Review

Super-Fun Super-Heroes!

Can we all agree that adding that second "Super" was a terrible idea? It was a perfect pun to just call it "Dragon Ball Super: Hero", but here we are from the same people that gave us Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan. Luckily, that's probably the biggest issue I had with this film because damn it's a lot of fun!

Note: Full SPOILERS ahead.

Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest Chapters 106, 107 and 108 Review

Are you a cat person or a Dogramag person?

Okay, I have a bunch of stuff to get sorted and deal with so let's get into this one and have it be a fun read so I can get back to... procrastinating and panicking instead of actually doing them. Ha ha, adulting is fun! Anyway, we got dragons! We got rocks! We got sexy men and punching children! What more could you ask for in a catch-up review from yours truly?

Those smiles... They liiiiike each other!

Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest Chapters 103, 104 and 105 Review

A woman with new world views.

I swear, I was about to publish this review, then another chapter came out while I was at work so I ended up needing to delay it until... well, until you're reading it now. What's even funnier is that because of the way the latest chapter is, there's little for me to add onto this review! So I almost delayed it for nothing! Anyway, here's a triple review that was meant to be a double.

Only 24 hours? Ha! My whole life is pain.

Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest Chapters 92 and 93 Review

 Written by Shiggins

No-walkie, lots-of-talkie.

Ironically, I don't want to waste time talking like this manga currently is. Seriously, I've said it before but I am so grateful to my decision to do two chapters at a time for these reviews. Imagine me having to write two reviews about all the blah-blah-blah of these two chapters! Oh yeah, and there's an anime of this coming out. Can you imagine how damn exciting this episode is going to be?!

Looks like it'd be sweaty in there.

Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest Chapters 87, 88 and 89 Review - End of Elentir Arc

 Written by Shiggins

Oft, that was... rough.

Okay, so I'm going to try something a bit new and revolutionary. Instead of summing up the chapters, I'm just going to... do the review instead. It means these reviews will be less of a chore for me to write, and I can spend more time bitching about how badly this arc was executed. Sound good? No? Well, shame because here I go!

Wait, what happened? I blinked and I missed it.

Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest Chapters 82, 83, 84, 85 & 86 Review

 Written by Shiggins

Catch-up extravaganza!

Yes, I've kept you waiting long enough, so here we go! Four full chapters, reviewed by me. And to keep you from reading a bunch of pointless paragraphs, I've decided to stick with just writing the "Opinion" section for this review, and will hopefully return to normal next time. To all those patient enough to let me take a break, thank you! I really needed it. I know this year has been rough for my articles but I've got some fun ones planned, so I hope you keep reading.

It was a really bad idea for this series to make a character that would make a better protagonist right now than the actual main characters. Suzaku is too good.

 Written by Shiggins

Suzaku is a Saint!

Apologies for the delay with this review, people. My shit job is making me and everyone else who works there sit through a bunch of long and condescending presentations so our rich bastard boss can keep giving himself bonuses during a pandemic. I need a new job.... Anyway, that's me done rambling about myself. Now it's review time! And not just any review... A positive review! (Although if anyone can tell me about a paid writing job or donate to my Patreon, I'd be so damn grateful, you have no idea!). 

Someone call Violet Evergarden! I've discovered what love is!

Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest Chapter 69 and Eden's Zero Chapters 118 and 119 Review

 Written by Shiggins

Theme: Things I want to see Mashima-senpai play with.

Maybe I'm just wanting to enjoy myself more these days, or maybe the chapters got the serious upgrade they needed, because I'm walking away with more confidence for the upcoming chapters now thanks to the developments and thingamajigs that were introduced. In fact, it's safe to say I'd be heartbroken and bitching furiously if they weren't played with... Anyway, happy review time!

She keeps getting better! I want one! And I want the claws too!

The Spongebob Movie: Sponge on the Run is Grim

 Written by Shiggins

Grim Adventures of Spongy and Patrick.

I haven't watched Spongebob Squarepants in a long time. I used to as a kid, and I loved the first movie when it came out in 2004, but then I faded away from it until I checked out the second movie a few months ago, Sponge out of Water, which was surprisingly fun. So earlier this week, I was on Netflix and got quite a surprise when I saw the newest film, Sponge on the Run, was there! I watched it and... It might be the most depressing film experience I've had all year.

Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest Chapter 68 and Eden's Zero Chapters 116 and 117 Review

 Written by Shiggins

Theme: Quick fights.

Sorry for the late review, guys. I've been busy, tired, and I was finishing off Spiritfarer. It's so good, guys! You really should check it out! It will also help you feel better as you feel disappointment in the lack of story going on in Fairy Tail. Eden's Zero was okay though.

Hiro Mashima summed up in two lines.

Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest Chapter 67 and Eden's Zero 114 & 115 Review

 Written by Shiggins

Theme: Briefly name-dropping future villains.

Both Fairy Tail and Eden's Zero decided to give us some teases this time, but with vast differences. Fairy Tail decided to tell us a whole lot of stuff, involving the White Wizard and the new world, while Eden's Zero only had to drop one name to make me interested in what it was going for. There's a massive difference in the skill of writing between these two manga this week, so get ready for quite a jarring review if you read both manga.

Noooo! Come baaaack! I'm not ready for this!

Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest Chapter 66 and Eden's Zero Chapters 112 and 113 Review

 Written by Shiggins

Theme: On their knees.

Looks like everyone is getting on their knees this week. Maybe Mashima-senpai is just a masochist or sadist? Well, to each their own. I'm an open-minded guy. And it's not like we've not seen worse from the guy. I'm just so surprised we got the connecting theme of "on their knees"... I think I'm going to see if I can make connecting themes a thing from now on.

Eden's Zero is officially good enough to have a chibi cover.

Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest Chapter 65 and Eden's Zero Chapters 110 and 111 Review

 Written by Shiggins

One world in, another world out.

As Eden's Zero makes sure to resolve it's issues as quickly as possible to move on to the stuff it would rather talk about, Fairy Tail decides to take the exact opposite route and we're now going to enjoy something very surprising. More important than all that though is that the NaLu daughter is real and exists and must be protected forever! 

I'm so desperate for ship confirmation that I'm actually counting this as a step in the right direction.

Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest Chapter 63 and Eden's Zero Chapters 106 and 107

 Written by Shiggins

Relax, don't do it. When you want to sock to it...

I'm going back to work this week. The paid work, not this work. If I got paid for this, I'd be here forever but unfortunately, I have to return to the real world eventually. Yuck. Anyway, Hiro Mashima-senpai must have known that and so he has gifted unto me, and you guys too I suppose, some nice and relaxing chapters to make me feel at ease. Thank you, I love them!

Moments like this are why I read manga.

Fairy Tail 100 Year Quest Chapter 62 & Eden's Zero Chapter 105 Review

 Written by Shiggins

New horizons.

In a welcome change of pace, both chapters this time involves actions that are going to bring us to new places we've yet to experience. In Fairy Tail's case, it's putting an end to an arc that started in June 2019, with the battle itself starting last April! And in Eden's Zero, we're doing what travelling plots do best and introducing a new area. And damn, I wish I could go somewhere new right now...

Oh I wish, I wish I could squish that fish.

Nanatsu no Taizai - Manga Review

Written by Shiggins

Running from 2012 to 2020, Nanatsu no Taizai (The Seven Deadly Sins) ran in Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine, and was written and illustrated by Nakaba Suzuki, also known for the 3 year manga Kongō Banchō, and no I have no idea what that's like. And now that it's been a couple of months and my feelings won't be affected by close proximity to the series ending, I figured now was as good a time as any to go back and see how the series did overall. Especially since the sequel-spinoff is currently in the works.

Note: Some spoilers ahead, but I did my best to make sure there was as few as possible for newcomers. Also, this is a review of the manga, not the anime. So voice actors, animation and such do not apply to this article. Enjoy!

Fairy Tail 100 Year Quest Chapter 61 & Eden's Zero Chapters 103 and 104 Review

Written by Shiggins

Spikes and speeches.

It's crazy how different the two Mashima projects I'm talking about today are. One is full of action and madness, as near the end of an entire encounter against a massive monster. The other is full of speeches and reveals as we begin a whole new chapter of the adventure. Luckily, we're not going to compare the two since that would be unfair. Especially since one has a bath scene...

God, I have to re-read the Edge Chronicles. (To the 10 people who know that series, how awesome were those sky ships?!)

Written by Shiggins

Big changes!

Well, I said I was going to do it and here we are. One review, both properties of Hiro Mashima! Hopefully enough people read these so it's worth doing, because these two mangas are constantly giving me more and more to talk about. So please read, share, subscribe, click the bell, sign the contract, create a password, answer the confirmation email and light the beacons! Here we go!

Yes! It's clobberin' time!

Fairy Tail 100 Year Quest Chapter 59 Review - Gears of Fate

Written by Shiggins

A quick note before we begin.

Now that Eden's Zero's most recent arc, the Belial Gore arc, has finished and been reviewed by me, I can now add all EZ reviews to my Fairy Tail reviews. So please be on the lookout for those, we'll see if they work and if it's worth me keeping those reviews going, and hopefully everyone has a good time. And now, onto the review!

Actually.... that gear design is awesome. Jellal, keep it! I want that too!
