Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War

The long-awaited and high-production-quality adaptation of Bleach's final saga, which was infamously left un-adapted for nearly a decade after the anime's end. This also fixes a lot of the problems that the rushed ending has, as Ichigo and his allies wage war against the invasion of the Quincy Vandenreich.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure:

JOOOOOOOO JOO!
The winner of our anime episode poll by a landslide, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is the long-awaited anime adaptation of the long-running, multi-part manga. After receiving several relatively lackluster movie adaptations in the past, this anime is a labour of love as practically every insane aspect of the manga is replicated exhaustively in the anime. Focusing on the strange adventures of the Joestar family, the series is divided into different "Parts" which feature in different time periods and starring different protagonists and villains, as well as storytelling methods.

SEASON ONE [Parts 1-2]
Part 1: Phantom Blood
Part 2: Battle Tendency (Sento Choryu)
SEASON TWO: Part 3: Stardust Crusaders

 Episodes 25 through 48 are marketed and released as a separate "half-season", known as "Stardust Crusaders: Battle in Egypt".
STAND Proud.

SEASON THREE: Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable (Diamond wa kudakenai)
BREAK DOWN! (break down!)

SEASON FOUR: Part 5: Vento Aureo (Ogon no Kaze / Golden Wind)
Fighting GOLD

SEASON FIVE: Part 6: Stone Ocean

SEASON Six: Part 7: Steel Ball Run
  • Episode 1: TBA
Spin-off Anime: Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan, episodes 1-4

My Hero Academia:

This is a per-season review of the anime and my commentary as I rewatch some old stories in animated form.

Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji - Ultimate Survivor:

An anime about a compulsive gambler who finds himself thrust into a series of competition that truly redefines 'high-stakes gambling', Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor was recommended to me by one of the readers of the blog and it's a very tense and fast-paced series with particularly great writing.

Season 1: 
Season 2: Kaiji: Against All Rules (a.k.a. Maverick Arc)

Limit Break!
As part of a huge catch-up to Dragon Ball Super, in 2018 I reviewed the episodes of Dragon Ball Super divided up by arcs, before reviewing the final clutch of episodes individually.

Dragon Ball GT

Because everyone keeps asking me "how do you think Super fares against GT", during Super's hiatus in 2018 I decided to try and watch Dragon Ball GT, the highly controversial-among-fans anime-only sequel to Dragon Ball Z released in 1997.

    Anime Movies

    Sometimes, I review Pokemon and One Piece movies! Pokemon movies are technically in canon with the anime, although the anime continuity is kind of bizarre at times so yeah.

    For the Digimon Adventure: Tri movies, scroll down below.

    Where did the Manga Reviews Go?

    It's a bit too much to make a page listing every single Manga Review article I've ever done. There used to be quite a bit of them on this blog from 2014 to 2017, but I cleaned up and archived a vast majority of them. They were very low-effort and reactionary, some of them had me ranting at the authors... which really isn't up to my standards nowadays. Particularly for Bleach, I felt the reviews and my ranting about the Quincy arc is better served with the brand-new anime. 

    But there used to be reviews here for other manga other than One Piece, running from 2014 to around 2018-ish, namely My Hero Academia (up until the vigilante Deku arc, at least), Tokyo Ghoul, Attack on Titan, Toriko, Naruto, Fairy Tail, Nanatsu no Taizai and very little bits of Boruto and JoJolion.
