Bleach 555 Review - "The Hero"

Written by: ClayDragon

In which nothing much actually happens.

Firstly, it turns out that Ichigo's time with Squad Zero has come to an end, as he appears at the exit wearing a new outfit. Apparently, he isn't going back the way he came, as the pillar he arrived in has disappeared. Instead, Senjumaru summons a huge spiral staircase, and Tenjirō tells Ichigo that it will take him a week to reach the bottom. Instead of Ichigo getting mad about the time the journey would take, he instead accepts it, and states that it'll take him half a day if he hurries.  

Why Uchiha Clan is Shit

Written by: Micha

I imagine writing about this topic would be the fanbase community equivalent of digging my own grave, and it isn’t in my best interest to get virtually egged by the armada of Uchiha fanboys. No wait, it is, actually. And this armada of fanboys have been dominating our fandom since Kishimoto lost his marbles somewhere around mid-Shippuden and let his Uchiha-loving dick take over the writing. Thus, loathing this ludicrous and deranged clan seemed the most reasonable thing to do.

Is that...is that Sakura in there I see?

Top 10 Anime Weapons

Top 10 Anime Weapons
Written by: ClayDragon and Shiggins

Despite many anime fights consisting of simple brawls or battles involving superpowers, almost every anime has a cool, unique weapon in it. As such, Shiggins and I have compiled a list of the top ten coolest, flashiest and just plain overpowered anime weapons.

WARNING: Due to the nature of some of the weapons, there are spoilers in this list. You have been warned.

Character Birthday Challenge ~ Orochimaru

Favorite personality trait:

His determination. Even though he used it to be able to use every technique ever created, he was very determined. He never gave up when conducting experiments and because of that, he always got the results he was hoping for.

Favorite relationship:

I’m going with Kabuto. I think Orochimaru really cared for Kabuto and trusted him. He made him the way he is now, but Kabuto’s still following Orochimaru’s goal. But I’m curious about what Orochimaru will do with him after the war is over.

Fairy Tail Chapter 357 Review - A Side Order Of Pain!

Nostalgia resteraunt, anyone?

Ok, first things first. We saw the personalities of each demon as they walked together and said boring and cliche one-liners. Let's just simplify this, shall we?

The Dignified One

Character Birthday Challenge ~ Anko

Favorite personality trait:

I actually really like her sadistic side. But she always does her research before going on a mission, which I also like about her.

Favorite relationship:

I would say Orochimaru, but only when he was her mentor. After he abandoned her, she started hating him and changed her goal into killing him. There isn’t any other notable relationship I can think of…

Bleach 554 Review – “Desperate Lights”

Bleach 554 Review – “Desperate Lights”
Written by: ClayDragon

Soul Society is drowning in despair, and Yhwach is throwing them anchors.

From a nearby rooftop, Bazz-B looks over and sees Cang Du frozen in Hitsugaya's ice cross. A bit annoyed, he turns around and moves off. Hitsugaya, meanwhile, tries to make his way over to Matsumoto, but collapses with exhaustion before making it more than a few steps. As he hits the ground, his ice wings begin to disintegrate.

Character Birthday Challenge ~ Hashirama

Favorite personality trait:

His ‘Will of Fire’. He always wanted to protect his friends, family and all the villagers no matter what happened. And he even sacrificed his own life protecting them. The way his belief was passed on to next generations, shows how much Hashirama did for Konoha.

Favorite relationship:

Madara. Eternal rivals, but once best friends. They had the same dream, or at least Hashirama thought they did. The way Madara became, was also the reason Hishirama became the strong shinobi he is today. He still tries to understand Madara and hopefully he will succeed.

Everyone likes a laugh now and again. That’s where these characters come in. This collaborative list between Shiggins and myself collates the ten funniest characters in anime. Although we’ve tried to avoid spoiling large portions of the stories, please be aware that there may be some minor spoilers below.

Fairy Tail Chapter 356 Review - And So It Begins...

I'm already loving this arc.

One of the biggest problems of the previous arc was how it started. There was no big build-up or intensity that made us feel like everything was scary or life-threatening. Nothing happened that made anyone worry for the characters or grip the audience. Everything felt random and not thought-out at all. Thankfully, this arc changes all that with a mass murder and appearance of villains.

Is Lahar Making Lovey Eyes At Doranbolt?

Character Birthday Challenge ~ Asuma

Favorite personality trait:

Being layed-back. Even though he avoided doing something as much as he could, he knew exactly how to train and motivate his team. It showed what a dedicated sensei he was.

Favorite relationship:

Shikamaru. This relationship is one the closest ones in the series, in my opinion. The way they always played shogi, because this was the perfect way for Shikamaru to develop his analyzing skills, showed how much Asuma knew about him. And of course the way Shikamaru reacted after Asuma’s death, was the best way to illustrate their strong bond.

Bleach 553 Review – “Frozen Cross”

Bleach 553 Review – “Frozen Cross”

Again with the crazy resilience!

As Cang Du advances towards Hitsugaya, one of the wings given to him by Hyorinmaru fall off due to Urahara’s pill. At the same time, Hitsugaya stands up, with one of Hyorinmaru’s wings. As Cang Du watches, he realises that his medallion has returned to normal, and asks what Hitsugaya did to steal back his Bankai. He replies that maybe Hyorinmaru just wanted to come back, and prepares to confront Cang Du.

Top 10 Anime Antagonists

Top 10 Anime Antagonists

Written by: ClayDragon and Shiggins

Let’s face it, a major part of a show’s appeal is the villain. Be they suave and sophisticated, or insane and genocidal, they’re always one of the more memorable aspects of a series. With this in mind, Shiggins and I have constructed a list of the top 10 anime antagonists. For the purpose of this list, the word ‘antagonist’ refers to the main enemy of a series, and not necessarily their moral alignment.

Fairy Tail Chapter 355 Review - There Is Actually A Plot In Here

Written by Shiggins

Damn, Hiro Mashima needs to stop loving baths so much.

So to start off this chapter, we finally return to Walrot Seeken who gives them praise and a potato. That's right. A potato. To put it simply, Walrot is perhaps the biggest troll of all time and constantly loves to make fun of the group. His catchphrase "I'm just kidding" is starting to get repetitive. He also has another reward and this is when audiences will get a bit annoyed.

Trololololololo!

Character Birthday Challenge ~ Naruto

Favorite personality trait:

His strong will. Seriously, after all that he’s been through he still doesn’t give up. I really like this about him and I really hope he will never lose his will to protect the ones he loves. With that’s happening right now, it may happen sooner as we expect, but I don’t think he will ever lose it.

Favorite relationship:

Iruka. He was the first one to acknowledge him and he still believes in him, no matter what happens. Too bad we don’t see much conversations between them anymore, but I hope there will be in the future.

Favorite fight:

Even though it’s not over yet… I really like his fight with Obito. The way he developed and analyzed everything that happened in the fight, is amazing. Can’t wait to see what happens next.

Favorite jutsu:

Everything Kurama related. I really like the jutsu Naruto’s able to use when he’s using Kurama’s chakra and when they’re working together. Every new transformation is even more awesome than the previous one.

Favorite outfit:

His outfit when he’s in Bijuu mode. He looks amazing in it.

Favorite random thing:

His whiskers. I know they're typical for Naruto, but I still like them a lot.

-----

Personal thoughts:

It took me a while before I actually liked him, but now I think he’s just amazing. The way developed his skills and also his relationships with the villagers, his team mates, sensei’s,… is amazing. He never gives up and he keeps believing in everyone who’s every betraded his or Konoha’s trust.  Amazing character and I really hope the series isn’t ending soon.

Bleach 552 Review – “The Fundamental Virulence”

Bleach 552 Review – “The Fundamental Virulence”

Hooray for science!

Still with Hitsugaya, Bazz-B is slightly annoyed that Cang Du has arrived to kill his opponent, to which Cang Du reveals that Yhwach ordered the Quincies to kill those whose Bankais they stole. Reaching under his coat, Cang Du pulls out Matsumoto and throws her on the ground. He then extends his iron claws and states that Hitsugaya should die next to Matsumoto, claiming that it’s his ‘style’ to kill those who lived together. At this point, he unleashes Hitsugaya’s Bankai and compliments it, saying that letting it live on after Hitsugaya’s death makes him sorry.

Top 5 Anime Protagonists

Top 5 Anime Protagonists
Written by ClayDragon

Much like an anime’s opening, the main protagonist is usually central to people’s decision as to whether or not to watch the show. An awesome hero will make the show more interesting and enjoyable, whereas a badly-written protagonist will end up being boring and unlikable. With this in mind, I’ve constructed a short list of my top 5 anime protagonists. For the purpose of this list, the word ‘protagonist’ refers to the main character of a series, and not necessarily their moral alignment.

Fairy Tail Chapter 354 Review - Not Every Party Ends Well

Written by Shiggins

The potential is rising!

This strangely titled chapter starts off with Natsu and the gang deciding to ignore the fact they just faced so much chaos and got tons of creepy foreshadowing, and have a party instead with the giants. Everyone catches up while the giants show their gratitude by doing nothing because they are assholes probably. The gang discuss everything they found out in this arc about Tartaros and the Devil Slayer who froze the village.

Bleach 551 Review – “The Burnt Offerings”

Bleach 551 Review – “The Burnt Offerings”

So it looks like all Soul Reapers are insanely resilient.

In the Captain-Commander’s room, Haschwalth notes that a kido barrier has been placed between him and Shunsui and Nanao, preventing him from entering. When he questions them, it’s revealed that Nanao placed the barrier, and that only she can use it. As such, Haschwalth deduces that since the other Captains can’t use it, then they’re at a disadvantage, and can’t even fight back properly.

Character Birthday Challenge ~ Jugo

Favorite personality trait:

Kindness. I really like this side of him. He’s always avoiding a fight and never wants to hurt or kill anyone, but that all changes when he loses it. It’s an interesting change in personality, but I prefer his kind side.

Favorite relationship:

Sasuke. The way he trusts Sasuke and obeys him no matter what, is amazing. I also like the reason why it acts like this. Luckily Sasuke really is able to keep him in check.
