Review: FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST THE MOVIE: CONQUEROR OF SHAMBALLA
Edward Electric, an alchemist from a different world, races to prevent an evil society to bring chaos and war to his homeland. For some of you, adding FMA might feel like a franchise that might not be the most obvious choice for a week like Shonen Jump. The reason I chose the franchise is this. Fullmetal Alchemist is a franchise that I think deserves more credit. Yes, it is quite popular, but not in the same league as Dragon Ball, Naruto or One Piece. If I had the time, I would have reviewed one of the animes (and yes reviews of both will come in due time). So instead, you…

VIDEO FEATURE: MY HERO ACADEMIA – What is a Hero?
Superheroes have taken the world by storm. Watch their movies, their shows, read their books and even play their games. We are obsessed with heroes. But what actually is a hero? That’s a question I hope to answer by looking at the World’s Number One Hero, All Might. In the world of My Hero Academia over 80% of the population has a power (or quirk). These abilities lead to “superhero” becoming a profession. People become heroes for fame, for money, or just to help the world become a better place. This leads us to a young man name Toshinori Yagi. He wants to help the world. He believes that the…
