Star Wars Rebels Revisited part 23: Use your inside voice
Star Wars Rebels Revisited part 23: Use your inside voice
Man, it’s been a while since I’ve done this series. My feelings on talking about Rebels are so much mixed than they were with Clone Wars. One on hand, the series isn’t doing as much for me compared to the latter highs of the Clone Wars series. Which kind of makes me not feel that driven to continue watching. On the other hand, the more Disney are producing so much new Star Wars content that FOMO…

C'mon MCU, you gotta do better than this
C’mon MCU, you gotta do better than this
Kontent is king! Or at least that’s the line most of us seem to live by these days. Especially if you’ve got an IV of Disney hooked up to your veins. And your bank account. The constant… No, relentless march of new shows, movies and animation must be making Disney feel all the more justified for raising the price of their streaming service over and over. I mean, they’ve still got me on the…

Star Wars: Rebels Revisited - Part 22: Ironclad Idiots
Star Wars: Rebels Revisited – Part 22: Ironclad Idiots
Whoa, it’s been a while. I just guess I needed a break from all of this. Not that this is my grand announcement of me being back or anything. I fully expect to continue hardly posting and just getting round to these when I can. It doesn’t help that my PC is basically dead and so doing all the image work for these post has become absurdly time consuming. (more…)

Does Being a Saiyan really Ruin Goku?
Does Being a Saiyan really Ruin Goku?
I know I’ve fallen behind when it comes to talking about the most recent chapters of the Dragon Ball Super Manga. But in all honestly, it’s because there hasn’t been a whole lot going on. It’s just been a whole lot of fighting, mixed in with a sort of confused jumping around of the focus character between the three leads of the arc: Granolah, Vegeta and Goku. (more…)

Star Wars: Rebels Revisited - Part 21: Just Like Old Wounds
Star Wars: Rebels Revisited – Part 21: Just Like Old Wounds
Both of these episodes feel like they’re throwing back to the Clone Wars show in various ways. Although I feel like my brain has been corrupted by listening to too many hours of intellectuals talking about the politics and real world parallels between the Clone Wars and Post 9/11 American politics. There has been very little of that in Rebels by comparison. Or maybe I’m just no cleaver enough to…

Horizon: Forbidden West - Is Franchising ruining good stories?
Horizon: Forbidden West – Is Franchising ruining good stories?
This is a reoccurring theme on this blog now; I’m poor as shit. Both financially poor and time poor. Thus I’ve had to become much more selective about which video games I spend my time and my money on. Especially now they are starting at £70 as a minimum. Which is why I take much more of a wait and see approach to major AAA titles. Like Horizon: Forbidden West for example. The first game in the…

Star Wars: Rebels Revisited - Part 20: 'Greetins 'Greetins!
Star Wars: Rebels Revisited – Part 20: ‘Greetins ‘Greetins!
You know what Star Wars has in spades? Good villains. You know what Rebels has really struggled to accomplish in my mind? Make its villains seem even remotely competent. Which is an impressive, making Darth Vader look like a fool on multiple occasions. Even more so when Kanan and Ezra hardly seem to have a brain cell between them most days. Rebels has really missed an actually dangerous and…

Star Wars: Rebels Revisited - Part 19: Jedi/Sith Docking Manoeuvre
Star Wars: Rebels Revisited – Part 19: Jedi/Sith Docking Manoeuvre
Apparently, my new approach to blogging translated to me just not writing anymore. Honestly, I’m kind of feeling it. A byproduct to this new approach is my realisation that without this blog, I’m just not that driven to keep up with Star Wars Rebels on a weekly basis. (more…)

Star Wars: Rebels Revisited - Part 18: Queue the Chiss Ascendency
Star Wars: Rebels Revisited – Part 18: Queue the Chiss Ascendency
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. When we left off the last time, Ahsoka has fought Darth Vader and finally accepted he and Anakin Skywalker were one and the same. It’s a fight a wounded Vader walked away from, although Ahsoka’s fate is left a little more ambiguous. Although, we know from her life action appearances that she’s fine. Not only that, Maul has returned and been thrown…

Pokemon Legends: Arceus and the Future for the Franchise
Pokemon Legends: Arceus and the Future for the Franchise
I’m honestly amazed that Nintendo and Game Freak actually took my advice, the thing I’d been banging on about them doing for the longest time now and actually do something totally different with the Pokemon franchise. I talked about it here, then here and then maybe somewhere here as well. The big question was whether they’d be able to really pull it off or not. (more…)

My Take on the Discourse with Elden Ring
My Take on the Discourse with Elden Ring
Everyone is talking about Elden Ring. Well, it might be more apt to say everyone is either creaming their jeans over Elden Rings or arguing about it. Despite overwhelming praise from mainstream reviewers, I still find myself unsure what to think about the game and whether I should finally dip my feet into the “SoulsBorne” pool with this game being the body of acid that burn them off.

Demon Slayer: Season 2 – Episodes 14 & 15: Transformation & Gathering
Demon Slayer: Season 2 – Episodes 14 & 15: Transformation & Gathering
Demon Slayer has been getting very anime in these last couple of episodes. Not only has Tanjiro gotten his inexplicable Ultra Instinct sequence, but now Nezuko has raged out and undergone her own transformation, one that seemingly puts her on par with the capabilities of an Upper Rank Demon. And all the insanity that comes with it. (more…)

I'm thinking of changing my approach to blogging
I’m thinking of changing my approach to blogging
This past couple of years, I’ve noticed that the direction of my blog has skewed heavily in a certain direction. It’s mostly since I started talking about seasonal anime actually, I started to invest more and more time into episodic reviews and reacting to shows on a weekly basis as they came out. Here’s the thing, I’m not going to say this is a bad thing. In fact, blogging like this introduced…

The Book of Boba Fett Series Finale Review – Chapter 7:  In the Name of Honor
The Book of Boba Fett Series Finale Review – Chapter 7:  In the Name of Honor
What is there to say about The Book of Boba Fett. It’s a show that I feel universally had fans expecting something much different from it than it ended up being. And while now, in hindsight, the response to the series as a whole is pretty positive, I think that the series ended up being something of a false promise based on its name and premise.  (more…)

The Book of Boba Fett Series Review – Chapter 6: From the Desert Comes a Stranger
The Book of Boba Fett Series Review – Chapter 6: From the Desert Comes a Stranger
Man. I’ve never been so happy to be frustrated by show as much as this one. Both this episode and the previous one have been stellar, and yet neither of them have arguably had anything to do with their titular character and his story. It’s almost like they’ve broken away and decided to five us Mandalorian season 2.5 instead.  (more…)

Why can't y'all just let people enjoy things?
Why can’t y’all just let people enjoy things?
I’m a bit behind on my Demon Slayer reviews here, but that doesn’t mean I’m not still watching the show. If anything, Sundays have been something of  a highlight of my week with new episodes of both it and Attack on Titan airing on the same day. So why is there some corner of the internet that needs to drag everyone else down?  (more…)
