Review: EDENS ZERO Chapters 4-9
Due to life, collecting shiny star balls and a lot of turn-based situations, I haven’t been able to keep up with the reviews lately. Meaning this review will be an overall recap of chapters 4 through 9. In the words of Quentin Tarantino, spoken by Leonardo DiCaprio: “You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.” The classical Hiro Mashima tropes remain in this manga, don’t get me wrong. But now, it starts to feel like its own story and a possibly a good one at that. I would argue that this could end up as his best work yet (Yes I will eat my words later if I have to).…

Review: EDENS ZERO Chapter 4
In Chapter four, we follow our protagonists searching for a professor called Professor Wize. But something is not like it first seems to be. This chapter is probably the best yet. It’s as simplistic as the previous one but yet had you leaving wanting for more like a good episode (or in this cause a chapter). You even get some small bit of knowledge of what is likely going to be the “Dragon Balls” of this franchise, which I certainly liked. If we get more chapters like this, this has strong chances to be something really good. I certainly hope that Hiro Mashima proofs me right that he is a…

Review: EDENS ZERO Chapter 3
I’m sorry about this late review. But life and the hottest summer in 260 years got the hold of me. With that said, let’s start it all. In this chapter, we get to know the “guild” that Rebeca is a member off and have Shiki join. If there is any chapter that makes this manga feel like Fairy Tail painted in science fiction color. The only difference is some slight change in the guilds behavior. However, there is a big difference between Edens Zero and Fairytail. Unlike Fairytail, Edens Zero has mystery building up since the first chapter, which has me somewhat intrigued. While the chapter isn’t bad, it’s nothing in…

EDENS ZERO Chapter 2 Review
Edens Zero Chapter two kicks off where the last chapter left off. Shiki, Rebeca, and Happy are off to space to their new destination. Issues arise when someone kidnaps Happy, with Shiki and Rebecca doing their best to save him. Even though Edens Zero continues to have some Fairytail feel, this chapter gave me vibes of Dragon Ball. For starters, the aesthetic of that city screamed early Dragon Ball. But the Dragon Ball vibes did not stop there. The villains (especially the big bad) was straight out of Dragon Ball as well (The Red Ribbon era to be exact). Which is quite funny after the whole “is that a love…

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…
