Goku did it again!
Another day, another chapter of manga that comes out to cause frustration among readers, casual and TrueHardcoreFan alike. And it's the newest Dragon Ball Super chapter that has everyone sick of the main protagonist, Son Goku, and his constant decisions that really do seem to make things worse and worse in every arc. Why is that however?

Theme: Briefly name-dropping future villains.
Both Fairy Tail and Eden's Zero decided to give us some teases this time, but with vast differences. Fairy Tail decided to tell us a whole lot of stuff, involving the White Wizard and the new world, while Eden's Zero only had to drop one name to make me interested in what it was going for. There's a massive difference in the skill of writing between these two manga this week, so get ready for quite a jarring review if you read both manga.

Fall, only to rise.
Last time I did this First Impressions article, it nearly killed me. Maybe that and the combination of shit going on in my life are why this article is so late... but either way, I finally did it and I'm going to give more impressions of what I've watched so far! As always, just the first episode has been watched to see how I do, and thankfully, this season is a lot better than the painful crap last time. Did you see Gibiate?! What a disaster that one was!

Theme: On their knees.
Looks like everyone is getting on their knees this week. Maybe Mashima-senpai is just a masochist or sadist? Well, to each their own. I'm an open-minded guy. And it's not like we've not seen worse from the guy. I'm just so surprised we got the connecting theme of "on their knees"... I think I'm going to see if I can make connecting themes a thing from now on.

One world in, another world out.
As Eden's Zero makes sure to resolve it's issues as quickly as possible to move on to the stuff it would rather talk about, Fairy Tail decides to take the exact opposite route and we're now going to enjoy something very surprising. More important than all that though is that the NaLu daughter is real and exists and must be protected forever!

Well it might not be their anniversary just yet, but I wanted to make an article to remember the extremely popular and hilarious "Dragon Ball Z Abridged" series, made by the hard-working gang of creative types known as Team Four Star. And what better way than a Top 10? So without further ado or ceremony, let's go over what I consider the Top 10 best episodes!
Oh, and for those who don't know, the Team Four Star crew consists of Scott "KaiserNeko" Frerichs, Nick "Lanipator" Landis, Curtis "Takahata101" Arnott, Lawrence "MasakoX" Simpson, Anthony "Antfish" Sardinha, Corinne "Megami33" Sudberg, Kirran "yourMoonstone" Somerlade, Cliff "AinTunez" Weinstein, Grant "MasterWuggles" Smith, and Tyler Koi. As well as a buttload of collaborators and such that I encourage you to check out too, and I would list here but that would basically end up being the entire article.
Note: This does not include the Kai episodes, the Shortz or the movies and specials. Only the 60 episodes and the prologue are considered for this list. Also, to keep as much of a variety as possible, I've tried not to include episodes connected directly to each other.

Water everywhere.
I suppose the theme for this review is "everyone has water on them". I'd say "everyone gets wet" but... I don't think I should. What we have here is a very divisive collection, I'm sure, and it all depends on your personal tastes. Is the picture below going too far or not far enough? Is Eden's Zero not telling you enough, or too much at once? Your answers will define who you are for the rest of your life.

| Relax, guys. It's not puke. It's just water. |

Relax, don't do it. When you want to sock to it...
I'm going back to work this week. The paid work, not this work. If I got paid for this, I'd be here forever but unfortunately, I have to return to the real world eventually. Yuck. Anyway, Hiro Mashima-senpai must have known that and so he has gifted unto me, and you guys too I suppose, some nice and relaxing chapters to make me feel at ease. Thank you, I love them!

New horizons.
In a welcome change of pace, both chapters this time involves actions that are going to bring us to new places we've yet to experience. In Fairy Tail's case, it's putting an end to an arc that started in June 2019, with the battle itself starting last April! And in Eden's Zero, we're doing what travelling plots do best and introducing a new area. And damn, I wish I could go somewhere new right now...

| Oh I wish, I wish I could squish that fish. |
Running from 2012 to 2020, Nanatsu no Taizai (The Seven Deadly Sins) ran in Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine, and was written and illustrated by Nakaba Suzuki, also known for the 3 year manga Kongō Banchō, and no I have no idea what that's like. And now that it's been a couple of months and my feelings won't be affected by close proximity to the series ending, I figured now was as good a time as any to go back and see how the series did overall. Especially since the sequel-spinoff is currently in the works.
Note: Some spoilers ahead, but I did my best to make sure there was as few as possible for newcomers. Also, this is a review of the manga, not the anime. So voice actors, animation and such do not apply to this article. Enjoy!
