Writing About All Things Pop Culture
The title’s a combination of the words “anime” and “manga”: Japanese cartoons and comics. I read and watch a lot of them, then review/recap every new chapter or episode.
I know I do Edens Zero every week on my blog, but for some reason I was feeling lazy last week. So rather than do two separate blogs, this time I’m just going to do the two latest chapters together. Besides, they weren’t that long, so I can get away with it. In these two chapters, the conflict with the Scarlet Woman Kurenai escalates to open hostilities.
So, my worst fears concerning Orochi are coming true. Despite everyone in Wano believing Yasuie’s last words, the snake refuses to let his guard down and is on high alert. … Continue Reading High Alert
In this chapter, the Alliance gains new recruit’s, Momonosuke learns to step and up and be a leader, and Luffy’s sick as a dog.
In the last chapter of Edens Zero, Rebecca was subjected to a humiliating prank by Labilia with the false promise of getting her to the slums to save Shiki and Homura. In the end, they did get the help of fellow B-Cuber, Nino. Meanwhile, Shiki fires the opening shots on a war against the Scarlet Woman’s rule when he defies her enforcer Garret to rescue Homura.
Edens Zero Chapter 53 Review/Recap When we last left off, snobby B-Cuber Labilia approached Rebecca with an offer she couldn’t refuse. In exchange for a favor, she’ll help Rebecca rescue … Continue Reading Anime Will Save Shiki and Homura!
The last chapter we saw Shiki and Homura get arrested by the Scarlet Woman and her enforcers and sent to the slums to work off a ludicrous debt. It doesn’t take them long to pick trouble with one of her enforcers, Whip Punisher Garret. Let’s see how this goes.
I came into this season having high hopes that this would be what would recapture the spark that launched SAO to international fame/infamy. After all, it’s the most extended story that Reki Kawahara wrote for SAO, covering almost ten light novels altogether. Then it turned into a dungeon crawl halfway through. With part one over, I want to review Sword Art Online: Alicization.
We’re at the mid-season finale of SAO: Alicization, and this will be my last review/recap until the show resumes in October; not waiting for the dub. Now, let’s get this mid-game boss fight started. Kirito vs. Quinella!
After week-long break, the latest chapter of One Piece is now up, and I must say, it’s a good one. We’ve seen how the Beast Pirates have broken the people in Udon Prison, in body and spirit. If anyone can reignite their will to fight, though, it’s Luffy.
I would like to apologize for the delay on Edens Zero over the last three weeks. To make up for it, I’m doing the four newest chapters back to back to back. In the 51st chapter of Edens Zero, my fears of Space Vegas are validated.
Having been drawn out of hiding to save Kirito and Alice, Cardinal comes face to face with her nemesis, Quinella.
Instead of an epic boss fight against Chudelkin, we get a Hercule Satan one-shot.
One Piece Chapter 947 Review/Recap Last chapter I said that Luffy was on the verge of conquering Udon Prison. With Queen and the bulk of the guards gone, I thought … Continue Reading Lighting the Rebellion in Udon
To celebrate the end of Pride Month, I’m giving you my top 5 picks of cartoons with positive LGBT+ depictions.
Straw Hat Luffy’s luck never ceases to amaze me. In the last chapter of One Piece, Luffy was able to free Hyogoro and himself from their collars while Big Mom ran wild. Unfortunately, eating all the Oshiruko earned him the wrath of the amnesiac Big Mom. It’s time to see the results of Luffy’s training in Straw Hat vs. Big Mom, Round 2!
In the last chapter, the Edens Zero gained an unexpected new guest in the form of the mysterious Captain Conner. Thanks to his incredible flying skills, they got to Sun Jewel in less than a day. That’s all well and good, but considering its reputation as the space version of Las Vegas, I’m concerned. I’m almost sure that Sun Jewel has a dark side to it.
