O.O That's all.:Overlord

-


Greetings, earthlings!  The first day of November is here, which means it’s time for a new month of new reviews.  And today’s new review is on a new show that came out earlier this year.  Let me just say, you won’t believe what you see.   Believe me.   Just take a look at the picture.  I couldn’t even come up with a catchy title.  Anyways, let’s get started on this week’s review on the summer 2015 hit, Overlord.
In 2126, a player on the popular Dive Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game Yggdrasil cherishes his last few moments as the game’s server is being shut down.  The player, known as Momonga, quickly realizes that something is wrong when he still finds himself in the game once the server is shut down.  Not entirely sure of what is going on, he starts to dig for information about the world of Yggdrasil to hopefully find the answer to the bizarre situation.  However, with the help of the guild he runs within the game and his own remarkable, God-like abilities, he certainly doesn’t have anything to worry about.  Still, his search for information takes him beyond the walls of his guild’s headquarters and into a war between battling kingdoms as well as into the hands of an unknown enemy, but again, that shouldn’t be a problem for Momonga.  Seriously, look at him!
I’ll admit, I’m not that very far into Overlord.  Still, what I’ve seen so far has been pretty interesting.  That being said, I give Overlord four out of five stars.  What probably grabbed my attention the most was animation.  Overall, it’s pretty well done, especially with Momonga.  Again, look at Momonga!  Story wise, I can’t really say much.  Considering I’m only halfway through the series, there’s still a lot that’s not known.  But I will say it is pretty interesting so far.  So in general, it’s pretty good.
But, despite how “pretty good” it is, there is one problem I did find.  Well, it’s not so much a problem as it is something to keep in mind.  It takes some time for the story to pick up.  It’s not by much, but some viewers may be a bit impatient with the starting pace of the show.  Still, I wouldn’t let that discourage someone to watch the show.  Again, look at Momonga!  A show with a main character that looks that epic and have the power to match would have no point of existing if you weren’t watching it.
I only have three words: Look at…you get the idea.  Anyways, if it sounds of interest, Overlord is available to watch online on Funiamtion and Hulu.  As far as a dub goes, it may be a possibility considering its rights are owned by Funimation.  Still, that doesn’t mean that I know for certain if there will be a dub, but it’s something to keep posted on.  Anyways, that’s all I have for this week.  Be sure to stay tuned for more because next week I’ll be reviewing another new show from the 2015 lineup!

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

Akira the Movie vs. Akira the Manga: Which is Better?

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
