Review: Mobile Suit Gundam: Thunderbolt vol. 2
By Dustin Cabeal
Mobile Suit Gundam: Thunderbolt is interesting. Not in a “bad” way or even in a “wow, that’s totally different” kind of way, but rather in that it manages to tackle all the themes of war better than all the Gundams before it. The catch is, I wonder if it would be as good if we weren’t all so familiar with the themes of the previous Gundam series.

Review: Nisekoi: False Love vol. 20
By Dustin Cabeal
Are you ready for the rollercoaster that is Nisekoi? Because this might be the best volume, I’ve read in the series, which is strange because the last volume was the worst I’ve read. At this point I’m in too deep on this series; I’ve read from volume thirteen, I’ve watched two seasons of the anime, and now I’m starting to like volumes. What happened to me?

By Dustin Cabeal
A mother fucking light novel. Fuck light novels. Either give me a full sized novel or manga. Why not a movie in one of these damn boxes? Sorry, I'm just frustrated because the anime boxes usually don't offend me or disappoint me as much. It's kind of either excitement or "I don't know this anime....". This time around, I knew everything, and it was all disappointing with the exception of the shirt. The shirt was really good.

Review: X-O Manowar v2 #1
By Dustin Cabeal
It’s fair to say that in this new volume of X-O Manowar, Aric gives zero fucks. His fucks are in the red so much that the “fucks” bank might be foreclosing on his ass. Don’t misunderstand Aric’s lack of giving of fuck as a negative point on this comic. Instead, it's rather refreshing and amazing.

Review: Chain Chronicle: Haecceitas no Hikari E.01
By Shanel Kamara
Hmmm, so admittedly, I was going to write another review of this week’s episode of Shouwa, but in the end, I decided against it. Sometimes it's good to change things up and Chains Chronicle: Haecceitas no Hikari - an anime rendition of the role-playing game produced by the illustrious video game company, Sega, available on the Android and PlayStation Vita, was just the ticket. Honestly, out of all the genres, fantasy is probably at the bottom of my list when it comes to selecting what type of anime to watch. For some reason, I just find most fantasy shows to be too predictable or conventional, even when the plot line is supposedly unique and original. Fantasy shows tend to cast females in subordinate roles despite being as strong as their male peers are and the heroes tend to be predominantly young males of ordinary descent. However, now and again it is good to set aside one's preconceptions and give these things the benefit of the doubt.
