Cowboy Bebop Anime Review

Cowboy Bebop Review

 Written by: ClayDragon

Three, two, one, let’s jam!

Along with Dragonball Z and Pokémon, Cowboy Bebop can be seen as one of the driving forces behind the proliferation of anime in western countries. In fact, it’s the longest running show on [adult swim], going on for over a decade. The story of Cowboy Bebop focuses on a group of bounty hunters, who, in the late 21^st century, travel across the solar system on their ship, the Bebop, hunting criminals and trying to earn money. Whilst the summary sounds fairly straightforward, the backstory isn’t quite as simple. 

Fairy Tail Chapter 347 Review - Girl Power!

Written by: Shiggins 

Boys vs Girls but without a bed to fall back on.

So to start off this chapter, we get Flare's reason for appearing to fight the Treasure Hunters. Sadly, she was only kidding when she said she was stalking Lucy all the time. It turns out the truth is far more coincidental, as Flare actually grew up in the Sun Village, and had returned home since she had no place to go. The symbol on her breast chest is the symbol of the Sun Village. Admittedly, this saddened me as I was hoping for a lot more. Also, I've never heard of a village having a symbol which just made this huge coincidence even weirder and far too lucky for me.

Personally, I Preferred This Reason

Character Birthday Challenge ~ Kakuzu

Favorite personality trait:

Greed. I know it’s not a positive trait, but it caused so many funny arguments between him and Hidan. And he knew what he was doing. He was good at it too.

Favorite relationship:

Hidan of course. Like I already said, their arguments were hilarious. Hidan shouting at him and Kakuzu not listening at all. That kind of stuff. Definitely one of my favorite Akatsuki pairs.

Character Birthday Challenge ~ Zabuza

Favorite personality trait:

Ambition. Even though he gladly sacrificed his own people to reach his goal, there’s no doubt he was ambitious.

Favorite relationship:

Haku. I know he trained him to be of use to him, but in the end he cried over Haku’s death. It took him a while to realize how much Haku meant to him and maybe things would have ended differently if he wasn’t so blinded by ambition, but I think this was a perfect ending for both of them. Haku protecting Zabuza with his life, and Zabuza finally realizing why he did it.

Black Butler Anime Review

Black Butler Review

Sadly, not quite one hell of an anime.

Black Butler (known as Kuroshitsuji in Japan) is a manga which covers the story of Ciel Phantomhive, an Earl in Victorian London. Due to losing his parents in a house fire when he was young, he ended up summoning a demon to aid him in finding and exacting revenge on his parent’s murderers. In order to fit in, the demon takes the form of a butler, and is named Sebastian. The anime version of Black Butler splits from the manga quite quickly, and it brings in its own villains and story arcs. It’s split into two seasons, each with their own characters and storylines.

Character Birthday Challenge ~ Yamato

Favorite personality trait:

His calm demeanour. It shows why he’s such a respected and skilled ANBU. Planning everything, keeping calm when something unexpected happens,… He’s a good addition to the team to keep Naruto in check.

Favorite relationship:

Kakashi. I love the way he keeps calling Yamato, Tenzo, like when there were at the ANBU. And they also know each other’s technique, which only helps in fights and planning missions.

Naruto Chapter 642 Review - Loss Of Dignity And Limb

Written by: Shiggins

More disadvantages followed by an actual achievement.

At the beginning of the chapter, everyone waits to see the end result of what happened from last week, when Naruto and Sasuke made a lovechild made of jutsu together. It turns out the end result was nothing because Obito actually can't be hurt by that anyway. He's too strong to be hurt, even if you do somehow hit him. Obito's amazing power is brilliant and is extremely necessary as the final villain needs to be extremely powerful. However, I can't help but feel that maybe it's starting to go too far considering every single chapter is a wasted effort if they can't even hurt him when they spend a whole chapter focusing on one punch.

What A Beautiful Flower... Oh God, It's Going To Kill Us!

Durarara!! Anime Review

Durarara!! Anime Review

Written by: ClayDragon

The successor to Baccano! suffers from Difficult Second Novel Syndrome.

In a similar vein to Baccano! (in fact, they’re both written by the same person), Durarara!! started life as a light novel, before being adapted into an anime series. However, Durarara!! is different from its predecessor in a number of ways, and these keep it from being as good as Baccano!

Fairy Tail Chapter 346 Review - The Rapists Are In Town

Written by: Shiggins

Getting a bit more interesting now.

As I expected, Minerva arrives to fight Erza. I was more expecting a kidnapping but Minerva would just rather kill Erza right now, while she can only just manage to summon a sword. It also turns out Erza is fully aware of the symbol of the Dark Guild that Minerva has joined, known as Succubus Eye if you haven't been paying attention. Minerva reveals she only went in it because it's the strongest guild around. I'd like to see just how powerful some of these members are if that's the case. Maybe one of the Wizard Saints? We'll find out soon I hope.

Also, The Sky Is Blue And That Sword Is Pointy.

Character Birthday Challenge ~ Tsunade

Favorite personality trait:

Her will to keep on living. Seriously, what she has gone through is just horrible. Losing Dan and Nawaki, losing her team mates. She lost all her loved ones. But she keeps on going. And in one way or another, all these losses make her stronger and fuel her will to protect the people she cares about.

Favorite relationship:

Jiraiya. I really loved their relationship. Even if she ignored his feelings and argued with him a lot during their youth, she cared about him. Their conversation about dying on his mission, was a very touching one. Especially the moment Tsunade had her break down after the hearing of his death, showed how much she cared about him.
