Kamehameha-ing Back!: Dragon Ball Z Re-Review

-

Greetings, people of Earth!  I’m back again this weekend for another review.  But this one will be a little different.  Remember that re-review that I mentioned last week?  Well here it is.  So let’s rewind for a minute.  You may remember during February-aka Flashback February-, I reviewed a certain anime show that is well known worldwide.  Sound familiar?  Well, I decided to keep going with it and have come back with a new review on it.  So get powered up, cause I’ll be reviewing the anime classic, Dragon Ball Z!
So last time I reviewed Dragon Ball Z, I left off where the Dragon Ball gang must face the threat of two Saiyans invading within the.  Since then, the Saiyans Vegeta and Nappa have been defeated- Nappa is dead and Vegeta barely escapes alive.  However, when one of their friends dies and takes the Dragon Balls with him, the gang finds themselves in a bind trying to get the rest of their fallen friends back.  That’s when they learn about the planet Namek.  After learning that the planet is the home of the Dragon Balls, the gang decides to travel there and save their friends.  However, what they don’t know is that Namek is under attack by the evil Freiza, who is also after the Dragon Balls to grant his wish of immortality.  With a powerful new enemy on the loose, the Dragon Ball gang will definitely have their hands full.  It’s definitely a thrill!
So the last time I reviewed Dragon Ball Z, I gave it a 3.5 out of five stars.  I made the claim that it was “too generous” to give it anything higher.  Now, after going a little further, Dragon Ball Z is definitely worthy of the four star rating.  The story is definitely the selling point of the series.  I think it’s what has sold the show for years, plus all the action.  The animation is definitely 80’s-esque.  Not much I can really say there.  I’m certainly keeping my exception to the animation because it’s an eighties anime.  Yeah, overall, everything else from my previous review stays, at least on the upside.
Now aside from the positives…well…I need to watch more of the show.  That’s the only real downside.  I feel like there is so much I am missing that it’s not enough to say, “this show is great,” or “this show is not great.” Sure, it’s not a decent con, but everything to me seemed pretty spotless.  Granted, with the show being as long as it is, getting all the detail that I need is easier said than done.  Still, being one of the most reputable animes of all time, I certainly give it a thumbs up!
So overall, I certainly think that Dragon Ball Z is definitely worthy of all its hype.  Even though I feel like there’s a lot I’m missing, it’s still worth the watch.  If only I had some Dragon Balls to wish up the series so I can watch it.  Wait, I don’t need that!  Why? Because Dragon Ball Z is available wherever anime is sold.  Well, that’s all I have for this week.  Stay tuned for fresh new review from yours truly!  But seriously, about those Dragon Balls…

Devilman (1972) vs. Devilman Crybaby: Which Is Better?

Greetings, fabulous peoples!   Welcome to part three of my Devilman- themed Flashback February!   For this week’s post, I’m doing something that I hadn’t done in a pretty long time: a Vs. post!   As many of you may know, with these posts, I take two series, characters, and even manga series and see which one was better.   In this latest Vs. post, I’m taking the two Devilman shows I reviewed for Flashback February and seeing which one was a devil of a show.   And for those who’ve seen Crybaby , I know what you’re thinking, but keep quiet for now.   With that said, let’s duel it out with the original Devilman series and Devilman Crybaby ! First Up: Devilman (1972)   First up on the chopping block is the original 1972 series.   If you read my review on it earlier in the month, the premises of the show is pretty much a kaiju series.   The series ran from 1972 to 1973 for about forty episodes.   And I will admit, I did not watch the entire series due to time restraints,

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I think you saw this one coming.   I’m back this beautiful Sunday with this month’s Character- or Characters of the Month!   And yeah, if you read the title, I think it’s pretty obvious who was going to take it.   Cause let’s face it The End of Evangelion’s Shinji wasn’t going to take it anytime soon, especially not after the hospital scene.   But still, all kidding aside, I think this month’s picks really are worthy of the title, not just in their actions, but what they represent.   That being said, let’s talk about this month’s Characters of the Month of April, Shoya Ishida and Shoko Nishimiya from A Silent Voice . To keep things brief and less long-winded, A Silent Voice follows Shoya Ishida and Shoko Nishimiya as the two form a close friendship with each other despite the fact that the two shared a rough past.   With Nishimiya being deaf, this made her a target for bullying by Ishida as a child.   But when his bullying goes too far and Nishimiya

Greetings, everyone!  Welcome to Part 1 of Akira Month!  To kick this two part, all about Akira, discussion post event off, I’ll be taking the manga that inspired the groundbreaking film, and the groundbreaking film that later inspired the world and seeing which one really makes fans explode-OK, that came out a little weird.  So now, without further delay, let’s get started on my discussion post battle of Akira  the Manga versus Akira the Movie! First Up: Akira the Movie So let’s begin with the Akira that most people are familiar with, the 1988 film. In a nutshell, Akira the film is about a teenage biker gang member named Tetsuo who suddenly develops psychic powers that eventually cause him to lose his mind.  This decent into  madness also sparks a rivalry between him and his best friend Kaneda, who has unwillingly become involved with a terrorist group trying to expose a secret government organization that studies individuals with psychic abilities much similar to
