I’ve been a fan of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure for the longest, back before the anime was a thing when scans of the manga were still riddled with horrible translations. I’m eternally thankful it did get a spark of popularity, thanks to the anime. It brought the series back to the forefront, not only in Japan but also bringing …
Despite ending in 2017, Naruto remains one of the most popular anime of all time. To this day, you can find discussion forums and posts about a series that has already come and gone. It’s inevitable that with such an astounding amount of popularity, Naruto would get an equally incredible amount of merchandise. From books …
When you ask someone to think of the most iconic gaming franchise of all time, a very common answer is Halo. It’s an epic space adventure saga about a lone marine trying to do right by his morals. At first, that’s fighting for humanity, then trying to end the war, and then trying to save …
I have mixed feelings about the darksaber. On one hand, it is the most fanfiction thing ever included in Star Wars, and I am very much including everything about Luke in the old canon and even the sequel trilogy. And on the other hand, it is, like, actually the coolest thing in the series! It’s …
Spider-Man is one of the most popular characters, not only in comics but in general. Ever since he first appeared on the silver screen, thanks to Tobey Maguire, who really hit it off with Spider-Man way back in 2002. Since then, more people have stepped into the shoes of Spider-Man, and more movies have been …
People like to compare Funko Pops! to Nendoroids, and I understand why. They’re both aimed at being affordable collectible figures based on various franchises. What makes Nendoroids different, aside from the higher price, is the fidelity. They all have working joints allowing them to be posed with much greater finesse than Funko Pop! and many …
One Piece was one of the first animes I’ve ever watched. I distinctly remember getting past Louge Town, but many, many years later, I did pick up the manga. That time I went straight from the East Blue all the way to Dressrosa and have kept up with it ever since. One Piece has always …
Star Wars is more popular than ever, thanks to Disney’s acquisition of the property. While the movies have been… of debatable quality, the Star Wars TV shows streaming on places like Disney+ have been ginormous hits for very good reasons. From the Bad Batch to The Mandalorian, all of these shows have a standard mark …
Despite the series being named “Naruto,” one of the biggest characters in the story, there’s another character of extreme importance. So important that they were basically left alone to carry entire arcs, like the Capturing of the Eight-Tails, and the Attack on the Kage Summit. Sasuke got almost as much love as Naruto’s swing set, …
My Hero Academia is one of the series I’ve been following for years, and I mean years. Every week Shonen Jump’s Manga Plus has a chapter. I sit down to read it. It’s been one huge adventure with many ups and downs. Some characters I liked, some characters I didn’t. The anime was only something …
