Review: Eden’s Zero Chapter One
Just like how some write reviews of pilot episodes, I might as well “review” a pilot chapter. And the honor of this pilot review for pilot chapters goes to none other than Eden’s Zero, the latest manga from Fairy Tail creator Hiro Mashima. This chapter starts off on what looks like an island inhabited by robots. Among those robots is a boy named Shiki. Shiki’s world turns upside down when a girl named Rebeca and her walking talking cat Happy enter the picture. When Hiro Mashima, the creator of Fairy Tail, announced that he was doing a new series, I got quite intrigued. I am a fan of Fairy Tail…

Review: LUKE CAGE Season 2
Sweet Christmas. Binge-watching 3 entire seasons of Netflix takes far longer then you might expect. It’s not like a 12 episode anime that usually takes about half a day. Luckily for me though, I had a lot of coffee to help me through it all. Before I talk about the second season of Luke Cage, let me give you a brief rundown of what I think of the first season. The first season is a mixed bag. It’s like a team of soccer players did a fantastic job out on the field, but for some reason or another loses focus on the second half game. It’s almost to the point…

Why the X-Men Should Not Join the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Yes, you read the title right. Don’t get me wrong. I like Marvel Cinematic Universe. I might not like some of them, but I am a fan. I can even go so far that Marvel could probably do wonders with the X-Men. But why then don’t I want the X-Men in the MCU? Well, that’s the entire point of this article. So with no further ado, let’s get going. A) X-Men wasn’t there when MCU started.Introducing X-Men is not the same thing as introducing the likes of Spider-Man, Fantastic Four. Both of these people are just several people. You can easily adapt them in. That’s not the case with the X-Men.…

X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE Review
I didn’t want to watch this. But what can you do when you have someone pointing two katanas at you while strapping you down with the help of ducktape. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a failed attempt of this katana-wielding supposed best friend. While I can’t see how this individual has a best friend (I’m kidding I’m kidding Mr. Pool), I have to admit that this truly is a failure of a movie. The movie starts off strong with the backstory of Wolverine (played by the everyone’s favorite Austrailian actor Hugh Jackman) and Sabertooth (played by Live Schreiber), two mutant brothers born in the 1800s (not the best time for mutants,…

Review: SWORD GAI: The Animation
Sword Gai: The Animation is an anime based on a manga (aka Japanese comic) with the same name. The story follows Gai, a young blacksmith student that one day becomes possessed by a sword where an evil entity is living. With that, Gai becomes a target of both a secret society called Shoshidai as well as other individuals that been overtaken by demons. Before I continue with this review and you even thinking about watching this show, let me give you a fair warning. This show is by far one of the most brutal and violent animes I’ve seen. It doesn’t make it easier when the fighting can be rather…

BATMAN NINJA Review
For as long as people can remember, humans have struggled to find answers to several issues. These questions reins from everything to the meaning of life, what comes after death and what would happen if Batman was an anime character. Luckily, we have finally got the answer to one of them. Now, in Batman Ninja, we follow Batman/Bruce Wayne to ancient Japan when an experiment from Gorilla Grodd goes wrong. Now Batman has to stop the villains that came with him during the accident as well as find a way back home. When I first heard about this movie, I first thought it was a joke. Then I saw who…

Feature: Let’s Rank Marvel Phase One
Hello there. Your favorite Swed is back again with another post. However, instead of reviewing a Superman movie, (which my three previous one been.) I’m going to give you a top list of Marvel’s Phase One. Before you think about doing a rage comment or two down below, let’s remember that this is just one person’s preference. If you feel different, comment below and let me know. I would love to hear it. With that said, let’s get going. 6. Iron Man 2. When I started working on this list, this was not the movie that I thought would be in the downright bottom. However, the more I thought about…

SUPERMAN: UNBOUND Review
Now we find Superman facing one of his most famous foes. An entity is known as Brainiac. The positive The story is decent, the characters (for the most part) works well in the story they try to tell. The art style of the movie looked like it could be a mix of western and Japanese (anime). A blend that in theory shouldn’t work, but works well here. While the animation was good in general, there are flaws. The best part of the movie is easily the voice acting. Especially Matt Bomer and John Noble. The former does the voice of Superman (while being Henry Cavill’s twin brother by the looks…

SUPERMAN VS. THE ELITE Review
Superman vs The Elite is, like my previous review, based on a previous comic book called What’s so funny about the truth justice & the American way, and just like my previous review, reading it is something I haven’t been able to do. So the review is going to approach it like it’s a movie on its own. In Superman vs The Elite, they cover the question of what true justice is. On the one hand, we have Superman, who believes that criminals should face punishment, but not to the point of death, while we have the rising group of Anti-Heroes called The Elite lead by Manchester Black who thinks…

SUPERMAN: DOOMSDAY Review
Before I start off this review, I just want to clarify something. I’ve never been giving the chance to read Death of Superman, which the movie is supposedly based upon. So I’m going to approach this as a movie on its own and not how it stands as an adaptation. I tried to find some means to read it before I watched it, but with how iconic this comic is, I think you know why I was unable to. With that said, let’s get to the review. When LexCorp accidentally releasing a terrible monster named Doomsday, Superman is up against his most powerful foe yet. As I said in the…
