Fairy Tail Chapters 492 & 493 Review - Elder Sister and Younger Sister & The White Dragneel

Written by Shiggins

Finally free to write about this... oddness.

As everyone stands in confusion from having heard the voice, Gajeel speaks as well and is accidently heard by the entire Guild, including his future waifu and his kitty. Now, they're all moving together, but Mirajane and Lisanna are ambushed by the wonder twins of Eileen. Ropes from the dark one, and sticky slime from the white one. Mirajane activates her Satan Soul, and says she'll take on Hynhe and Juliet by herself.

Lisanna... I think you need more friends, sweetie.

What Makes Anime Women Strong?

Written by Shiggins

I am geek. Read me rant.

I want a Black Widow movie. I want more of Furiosa and Xena and Ellen Ripley and I want so many other strong women characters to exist in the world of fiction. Luckily, anime provides me with so goddamn many, that I'm spoiled for choice. Revy from Black Lagoon, Usagi from Sailor Moon, Kurisu from Steins;Gate, Erza from Fairy Tail... The list goes on. However, anime and movies have often gone the other route and given us female characters that audiences despise for being "weak" or "useless". So, if you're looking to write a female character, how can you make them a strong character for audiences to enjoy? Well, find out here!

Well, I suppose one easy way to do that is to make your female an f-ing gorgeous genius in stockings... but there are other ways!

Black*Rock Shooter Anime Review

BlackêRock Shooter Anime Review
Written by: ClayDragon

When you watch a lot of anime, over time you accumulate a number of shows that you’ve heard of, and perhaps have been meaning to check out, but haven’t actually got around to watching. For me, BlackêRock Shooter was one such show, so when I was asked to review it, it was like hitting two birds with one stone. That being said, I knew next to nothing about the show itself, so I was going in completely blind. In hindsight, maybe reading a plot summary first would have helped a bit.

Assassination Classroom Anime Review

Assassination Classroom Anime Review
Written by: ClayDragon

It’s often said that ‘school days are the best days of your life’. Whilst that’s certainly debatable for most of us, our school days may have been more exciting were our teacher actually an octopus monster with enough power to destroy the Earth. This is exactly the situation that the students of class 3-E find themselves in in Assassination Classroom, a series about (surprisingly) pupils trying to kill their teacher. (Side note: please, please do not try this in real life).

Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto Anime Review

Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto Anime Review
Written by: ClayDragon

There was always that one guy in school. The popular one, the smart one, the one that everyone would describe as ‘cool’. This series is entirely focused around one such guy. No matter the situation, he’s able to overcome any obstacle in his way, and what’s more, he does it with flair. Be it mundane or over-the-top, nothing can keep him down for long. He’s stylish, flamboyant and resourceful. Haven’t you heard? He’s Sakamoto.

Top 20 Fanservice Moments in Anime & Manga

Top 20 Fanservice Moments in Anime & Manga
Written by: ClayDragon & Shiggins
Anime fanservice

Fanservice is a near-universal constant in anime these days. Most shows have at least one episode or scene where the characters (usually female) get into compromising positions, have wardrobe malfunctions, or just straight up forget how to put on half of their clothes. And so (because we want more views), we’ve put together a list of the most memorable fanservice scenes in anime and manga, based on how impactful, memorable and over-the-top they are.

To avoid embarrassing situations, it’s probably best to make sure you’re alone before reading this list.

As is this the case with many of these lists, SPOILER ALERT. You have been warned.

My Hero Academia Chapter 98: Enter The Dorms Review

                                                             Written by: The Inquisitor

Notice: for those of you who remember me, I will no longer be reviewing Dragon Ball due to how far ahead the anime is, and don't expect a theory article anytime soon. Until then, enjoy these reviews. 

We start with Mama Midoriya giving her son the standard motherly goodbye. Call me, make sure you eat well, etc. We then skip ahead to the students of class 1-A, who are getting their first look at their new home, Heights Alliance. 

Midoriya's got a nice mom. My dad would have thrown my ass in front of the school and say "See ya son, I'll call you eventually, I've got to make sure you're wiping your ass". and then he would drive home and convert my bedroom into a bar

Big Order Anime Review

Big Order Anime Review
Written by: ClayDragon

If you could have one wish granted, what would it be? Fame? Money? Power? Unlimited rice pudding? When Big Order’s main character Eiji made a wish ten years before the series started, it resulted in a series of disasters that caused the death of thousands. At the same time, a number of other people around the world had their wishes granted, and these people – named ‘Orders’ – were blamed for the catastrophe. Since this series was written by the same person who wrote Future Diary, there was naturally a bit of excitement when Big Order first aired. So the question is, should you watch it?

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress Anime Review

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress Anime Review
Written by: ClayDragon

Hands up who here watched/reads Attack on Titan. Most of you? Good (if not, you should probably get on that. It’s quite popular). Now imagine this: Attack on Titan, but with zombies instead of titans. Oh, and steampunk. Lots and lots of steampunk. That’s basically the premise of Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress. And as we all know, steampunk makes everything roughly 300% better. Trust me, I’m a scientist.
