Naruto Chapter 639 Review - Night of the Dead Dead

Written by: Shiggins

And so their attacks do fuck-all.

To start this week off, we saw the remains of Hashirama and Tobirama reform back, slowly. Tobirama then begins his counterattack against Obito, using a strategy he seemed to have created years and years ago for all Edo-Tensei zombies. Hashirama binds Obito using his wood-release jutsu as  Obito suddenly realises he is covered in those convenient explosive tags that have been in the entire series. To put it simply, tags keep multiplying and exploding, over and over again.

It's Like A Pretty Hug That Kills People

Of course, it doesn't work. Why would it? We've already seen Obito survive an attack like that, when going up against Konan and her canyon of boom. He only had the sharingan and still managed to escape that impossible deathtrap. So now, he's super strong with a monster inside him. Nothing is going to work.

Bleach 546 Review – “The Last 9 Days”

Well, Soul Society is screwed.

Continuing on from last week, Shunsui gives more information to Keigo, Tatsuki and Mizuiro about what Ichigo has been doing. He says that once Ichigo has finished training, he will be even stronger, and he might be so strong that his power might affect the world of the living, in a similar way to Aizen’s power. If that turns out to be the case, then the Soul Reapers will not allow Ichigo to return to the world of the living. However, the chances of such a thing happening are very low – less than one in 10,000.

Character Birthday Challenge ~ Shikaku

Favorite personality trait:

Calmness. Always as calm as possible. Always analyzing stuff. I think it’s amazing he’s able to keep his calm, looking at some of the situations they’ve faced.

Favorite relationship:

Ino-Shika-Cho. Like their children, the three of them are so in sync with every move they make in a fight. They completely understand each others’ techniques and know they can trust the others. And also beside the fights, they have a very strong relationship.

Fate/Zero Anime Review

Fate/Zero Anime Review
Written by:ClayDragon

Fate/Stay Night’s prequel manages to be a much better anime than its parent show.

Fate/Zero is the prequel to the popular visual novel Fate/Stay Night, created by Type-Moon. Fate/Zero followed roughly the same path, being created as an illustrated novel before being adapted into an anime. Even if you haven’t seen Fate/Stay Night, you’ll probably recognise it for spawning this memetic phrase:

Let's hear it for Captain Obvious!

Set roughly a decade before Fate/Stay Night, the story of Fate/Zero revolves around 7 mages (known as Masters) who each summon a hero from myth or history (known as Servants). Each Master and Servant duo then fights it out for the chance to win the Holy Grail – an omnipotent wish-granting device. Each Servant is sorted into one of seven categories, and their powers depend on the category. The categories are: Saber, Archer, Lancer, Caster, Rider, Assassin, and Berserker.

Fairy Tail Chapters 341, 342 and 343 - Water, Earth And Then Ice!

That's Right. The Anime Is Returning!

Strange Moments At Every Turn!

So to start off this week, we get what Fairy Tail is widely known for: Fanservice! That's right, almost all the main females of the Fairy Tail guild are trying out their new bathhouse, and not being shy towards each other at all. Levy mentions how Jet and Droy decided to try doing a mission of their very own, which turns out to mean "Follow Gajeel and Pantherlily, then beg them to save the day". Cana suddenly teases Lucy about how she heard of Natsu's groping skills, and surprisingly, gets a good grope session of her own too.

The Fanfiction Writes Itself These Days! Also *drool*

And now for something completely different.

At the Kurosaki family household, Yuzu is busy making lunch for Karin, Isshin and herself as she wonders where Ichigo is. The rest of her family don’t seem too concerned, as Karin is playing videogames and Isshin is treating a patient.

"Just...one...more...level..."

Fairy Tail Chapters 338, 339 and 340 Review - As One Door Closes, Another Opens

Random But Effective!

3 chapters for the price of one!

So to start off my collective review, we attend the party that is in the Pumpking's castle and is for all the mages. As with every arc ending, this chapter is fun, silly and shows us all that you can still have a life shortly after seeing your friends and yourselves die horrifically.

In this party, we get to see fun sights including Gajeel in a suit, Hisui and Lucy having a chat over Lucy's father, Mavis wanting food and Ichiya wearing a hat. One of the particular highlights of this chapter is Kagura, who has been forced into a dress and suddenly getting far too drunk. As with all drunk women, she cries, hugs and makes you forget just how cool she can be while sober. Milliana also had some fun where Erza won her over and cheered her up by giving her all three of Fairy Tail's exceeds to play with, against their own will of course. 

Context Is Needed!

Character Birthday Challenge ~ Kiba

Favorite personality trait:

Impulsiveness. I really like this about him. He rushes into things without thinking, which gets him into tricky situations all the time. But when he tries to use a technique, it’s sometimes able to surprise and hit the opponent out of nowhere since they didn’t expect that to happen.

Favorite relationship:

Hinata. They way he cares for her and tries to protect her is just the cutest thing ever.

Character Birthday Challenge ~ Neji

Favorite personality trait:

His maturity. The way he handled being in a team with Guy and Lee was just amazing. He always kept his cool and tried to make the best of the situations they got themselves in.

Favorite relationship:

A very tough one, but I’m gonna go with Team Guy. I can’t think of a relationship with a person which was special at all. The way they knew each others’ skills and worked together in a fight, was just amazing. I really loved them as a team.

Bleach 544 Review – “Walking With Watchers”

Bleach 544 Review – “Walking With Watchers”

In which it’s shown that Yhwach just keeps getting smarter.

After his announcement that Uryu is to become his successor, Yhwach has met with Uryu in private. Uryu asks Yhwach why he was chosen as his successor, to which he gets the answer that it’s because, when Yhwach made his ‘Auswahlen’, every mixed-blood Quincy died. Except Uryu. This explains why Yhwach called him ‘the last survivor’, and it turns out that Uryu has something that can surpass even the Emperor’s power. He then orders Uryu to come with him, and Uryu obeys.

Actually, the 'idiots' part might be debatable...
