Fairy Tail Chapters 512, 513, 514 & 515 Review - Deluxe Edition

Written by Shiggins

Heeeeere's Seanny!

Yes I'm back! I was running into quite a few problems at home and at work, so a lot of my free time was taken away from me but that bastard known as life. However, I am back to continue my reviews and hopefully I won't be buggering off again any time soon. So thanks for all the fanmail I didn't get, but I'm not bitter or anything... whatever... No seriously, I love that people keep reading my work. It's honestly the main reason I'm back here... *throat clear to stop myself getting sappy* Back to the reviews!

And I return with... Something horrific that makes me wonder if Mashima went just a bit too far.

Izana - Part 1 (Chapters 1, 2, 3)

Written by: Pomelote

 

Prologue

The air is hot, like the seasons have been reversed. Only my feet are cold and damp, from the muddy water that soaked into my tabi while I walked. The flames make a ferocious crackling, and blaze like they're going to make the night's darkness disappear. The dry wooden walls and posts of the building crumble away into chunks of black charcoal.

Ah, it's so red. So red. So red.

The world has never been so beautiful.

For a moment, the world of scorched grey had colour.

Heaven and earth reversed - and the living became the dead, the dead became the living.

And now, I was born.

At the end of a long death, I finally came into this world.

It was like the plants, at the end of their seclusion in winter, budding and welcoming the spring; it was like part of the natural order.

My thin clothes cling to my skin with sweat, but even that sensation makes me feel alive.

Suddenly remembering, I wipe my lips with my fingers. Nothing comes away. It seems that the crimson dye was melted away by sweat. But even now, I'm sure my lips are red. From elation, I'm flushing, like a rose. Like the flames. Now, I am beautiful.

Thoughts on Danganronpa 3 Compilation - Part 1

Written by Shiggins

Future.

Despair.

Hope.

The three stages of Danganronpa's anime of 2016, in which the story of Makato Naegi and his companions was finally wrapped up. Storylines are resolved, characters make shocking returns, and the dub of Monokuma just gets worse and worse. Over the course of these three segments, you find yourself questioning a lot about what you saw from the first two games of the series, and the final result is a mixed bag that is worth talking about. And since we've got Danganronpa V3 coming soon, this feels like a good time to do just that. Talk.

So many deaths. So little time.

Naruto, the Shitty Dad: A Boruto Character Analysis

Written by: Micha

It’s been two years after Naruto ended, and two years since I have mentioned Naruto to any on here. You could say I don’t handle grief so well, for someone who has repeatedly killed the spirits of Hinata fans and Sasuke fans for a while. So after two years, I woke up from my Naruto-coma to ask myself something that has been plaguing the backburner of my mind all this time: why is Naruto being a little bitch?

Boruto, chill. Kishi never tweets me back either.

Naruto Uzumaki never made it to my top three favorite characters, but he was always someone I thought was too good for bashing. And trust me, I have bashed a lot of characters. And I never thought I’d ever have to question why, an orphan who yearned to be a part of a family he even adopted this guy as his brother, would ever deny love and attention to his own biological son.

Naruto has been neglectful to the point he had Boruto running to Sasuke for comfort. Fricken Sasuke. And this Uchiha is a man so emotionally damaged to the point he probably said, “Hn” after the priest asked if he’d accept Sakura as his bride.

So why is Naruto doing this? Let me dive deep into his psyche and fish out the psychological theories.

Fairy Tail Chapter 511 Review - Hunger Hell

Written by Shiggins

I want Larcade's powers.

Out of every power in this series we've seen so far, I think I want Larcade's the most. I'll win every Pleasure-Off I have against my friends, I'll always have an excuse to pay less than others at dinners because I'll be making them eat more, and I can sleep for as long as I want so I don't have to deal with the nastiness of the world. Admit it, I made you want to be Larcade. I made you desire it!

And I now realise Sting needs a new design, because in pictures like this he ends up looking exactly like Natsu.

Fairy Tail Chapter 510 Review - Natsu's Heart

Written by Shiggins

We need a Slayer Babies spinoff.

I'm serious. I will review the shit out of an adorable chibi version of Fairy Tail that focuses on the young Dragon Slayers, because that would be too damn adorable to ignore. My list of spinoffs that I want Mashima-senpai to make is increasing, with Council Levy still being number 1, but you have to consider this at some point, sir. Please! Bring on the cute!

I've been saying that since I first started this series!

The Best Naruto Characters (As Voted by Fans)

Written by Shiggins

It's been two years since our beloved franchise ended...

So to celebrate the series that got so many of us into anime and manga in the first place, and helped create the blog you're on right now, I created a poll and asked for viewers to vote for their favourite characters. Much like the past two poll articles, which involved the women and penises of Fairy Tail, this does not follow my own opinion but rather the opinion of you and your fellow dorks. So what I'm going to do is explain why some, including myself, like these characters and then you, the reader, can tell me if I'm wrong. See you in the comments!

Fairy Tail Chapter 509 Review - Kagura vs Larcade

Written by Shiggins

Stop trying to tell me they had sex!

I know it's a beautiful image of Mavis and Zeref as a lovely couple together, never ageing. An immortal duo that would live forever, as if they were members of the surprisingly enjoyable manga series UQ Holder, but it doesn't make sense! I am telling you that it doesn't make sense. AND WHY AREN'T WE FOCUSING ON IRENE?!

Why do you instantly believe the shiny man without any proof? I mean, he's telling the truth but... my point still stands.

Top 10 Horror Anime and Manga

Written by: Pomelote

Did you hear that? Be- behind you, I thought I heard someth-

You know what, never mind, it's probably nothing...

Somewhat strangely, considering the massive J-Horror boom of the 2000s and Japan's rich horror tradition, “horror” is rarely a genre that comes to mind when people think about anime and manga. The reason for that isn't entirely clear, but Halloween 2016 has just passed us by (hopefully you've just had a happy one), and in the spirit of the season, we've prepared this little Top 10 article with some of our favourite examples of horror.

Warning: this article contains some graphic imagery, and worse yet, potential SPOILERS for all works mentioned here. Proceed at your own risk!🎃

Top 10 Abridged Anime Characters

Written by: The Inquisitor

About 2-4 months ago, an event occurred that had a greater impact on my life than my High School graduation, the impact was so great that it actually managed to make me leave my comfort zone to write this list. The event: Shiggins introduced me to abridged anime. Never had I been happier to have that man as a friend.

For the poor ignorant souls that have yet to experience the greatness that is abridging, I left links to the first episode of every series that I mention in this list.

For those of you who don’t know, abridged anime are comedic fan-dubs. These fan-dubs have been made from  various different series' and by various people, from the solo genius PurpleEyesWTF, to the legendary Team Four Star. From the minds of these comedy gods came many hilarious series' and a plethora of memorable characters.

And it all started with him. The Father of Abridging: LittleKuriboh.
