Aliens Area (Manga) add
Aliens Area falls into 'that' category of Shonen series... Where initial idea shows potential, but it falls apart when developed.
Which kind of reflects with the fact it got axed. Even the whole setup showed influence of other series, so despite having fresh spark on the paper, in reality it seemed like we haven't seen anything new. It's a mixture of good elements from other mangas, but with a slight lack of enthusiasm behind it. Or rather, it was difficult to get attached to characters, plot or "world building" (power system, mechanics, etc.) from a get-go.

Plot on its own is dabbling on borderline of ...

Claymore (Manga) add
Damn, this story was such a blast. I watched anime ages ago and liked whole idea, but messy end made me hesitate picking this up.

I've noticed people labeled it as "Female Berserk", but this is a whole another story and such comparison somewhat hurts quality of Claymore. Yes, it is gorey, yes it has effed up "demons" and yes, MC seems unable to get a break from suffering. However, story is driven toward whole different path.

Premise is that there is a world, where sometimes demons pop up and slaughter innocents. As their countermeasure, there are Claymores, silver-eyed witches that share demonic blood and ...

Mixed Feelings
I was quite excited when I heard news of Bleach One shot, despite still having murky after-taste of chaotically written last arc in original manga. And I am happy for many fans who still feel the same, but this seemed as underwhelming revival.

Whole one-shot danced between "hey you are long time fan, you know these people" and "Let's make it totally new". For me, this didn't work out. All the faces I knew felt like complete strangers to me, while newcomers felt gray-ish.

Pacing itself was all over the place. Yes, author wanted to set up base for new arc, but at same time ...

Preliminary (139/141 chp)
"Star that burns the brightest, burns the shortest".
If we were to rate this solely based on the brilliant beginning or a disappointing ending, we would have to go to very extreme of marks.

Whole story started off brilliantly; pace, characters and plot twists had us all hooked on. Anime that followed did great job on expanding the audience, as well as doing decent justice to the source material.
As time progressed, it was becoming more apparent that the author had planned out quite far ahead of the story, showing through foreshadow that he is indeed talented writer. He tackled fairly serious topics, revolving it ...

Break Shot (Manga) add
It never ceases to amaze me how a person can find almost anything he/she is passionate about, covered through the eyes and the heart of fellow artist. Sometimes it gets really popular, and sometimes the art is getting dragged through the slums, never reaching the wider audience.

Break Shot is in the latter category. Question that naturally pops up is - is it justifiable placed there?
Do note that this review may not be 100% unbiased, due to me having underdog stories as a guilty pleasure, which are easily found in most of the sports manga and anime.

Take on the story itself is rather simple. Our ...
