I'm gonna save you the time and say, this is another one of those occasional "Toei, why?" ahh moments. You know, when Toei feels like, would you guys be willing to see a special episode around Daifuku and his struggles to deliver the milk in time every other Thursday for the local milk sculpting contest that funds the orphanage on the outskirts? Actually, what the hell, I just came up with that on the stop and it's so sick and I would want to watch that shit everyday, but Toei will be busy realizing their below mid side-story that no one asked for anyway.

Of man, I have such an awful experience with these shorts, but honestly, lately, or at least last couple of ones really hit.
Picture Dramas really are the bane of existence of every completionist, thank Code Geass for that, but this review is for Shangri-La Frontier, and just like that one hit all the stress points perfectly, its shorts were not all that far off. The bite-sized episodes (sub minutes long) were not invasive, they were cute, concise, and with strong punchlines. You now those "knock-knock" jokes? These were similar, short but slightly stalling, but the delivery was always satisfying, if not the humor then definitely the ...

Shangri-La Frontier: Kusoge Hunter, Kamige ni Idoman to su - Saishin Wa made Maruwakari! Chousoku Digest

To be fair, I feel like it’s slightly not fair to the recap to be in the position it was, this comes right after episode 14 of the first season, episode 14.5 so to say, which just happens to be right before the gang takes on Wezaemon the Tombguard, arguably the highlight of the season, which in part makes the material covered by the recap the weaker portion of the season. Your basic introduction to the world of Shangri-La Frontier, important cast introductions, early-game quests, all that jazz. Under a certain perspective it’s a very reasonable chuck to recap, as a lot tend to happen

The is always bound to happen that once in a blue moon, a gem goes under the radar, especially with many new series we get every other season. I can’t blame anyone for passing off most of them, because with quantity, quality is the tradeoff, but then again, at least on the surface, you might end up doing a very good show dirty, and turn over the page.
As such, of at least to me, Shangri-La Frontier was the case, even going by the name, the artwork, the genre, nothing about it seemed captivating or remotely interesting, that is, until a couple of season later when ...

Shaman King: Flowers
(Anime)
add
Shaman King in 2024 is a very weird case, On one hand, the deep nostalgia of the OG really gets to you, those were undoubtedly unforgotten times, but then again, upon viewing the 2021 remake, lots of points were lost, what a horrendous adaptation that was for the most part, some very good highs yes, but also, some of the blended adaptations you could ask for, the ones where it would have been better off not existing. Cut a few years forward, we get a Boruto-esque epilogue series that tries to be something more than overstays its welcome, enter, Shaman King: Flowers.
Who asked for this? ...

You often see enclosing shows trying desperately to hang on to their fans after the story wraps up, perhaps to buy as much time and stay relevant for as long as possible in other to keep up the sales, often you see this materialize as cheaply made Picture Dramas, and oh man, I have watched a dozen or so to say that they suck like a stumpy toe.
This, however, was kinda cute to watch, for starter, they art style carries some weight, it feels like one of those expensive graphic novels, very Chibi but it screams of quality, the voice acting is cute and the ...

Shaman King (2021)
(Anime)

Aaaa yay yay, where to even begin!
I guess I’m not the only one who was driven to watch this by pure nostalgia, the OG show makes some of my biggest core memories that I just had to check this one up, whoever said “trust you gut”, that man was not cooking, at least applied to this scenario. Calling this a flop doesn’t not even begin to describe the dumpster fire it actually turned out to be. The jokes did not age well, the plot was too slow at times, too fast at some other times, no consistency between comedy and drama, the animation is hilariously average ...

From the title of the episode to the placement of it, to the actual content. This is literally a World Govt. propaganda screening to the core lmao.
Let’s forget about the unfortunate timing of the airing, literally sandwiched in-between the hype episodes of Garp’s invasion of Pirate Island. It recaps all Admiral and important Marine officers (Sorry Smoker) and speeds up through some information and history of such, probably to hype up the stakes of the arc. A realization that has caught up to me recent year is that, the best One Piece arcs tend to always have Navy heavily involved at a larger scope, probably which is ...

Holy shit this was hilarious lmaoo!!
This is way too good than this MAL page might entail, short, to the point, and hilariously funny. It’s like if official accounts were allowed to shitpost. just watch it, a badly out-of-tune We Are remix with doodles of the characters from several moments of the story being memed on, the jokes are clever enough to have to rewatch several times in a row. The franky meme alone deserves a watch. let alone the Zoro slander, this is something not even the most hateful twitter accounts can come up with when slandering a characters, let alone it being an official collaboration makes ...

Is this even a recap? I mean, in a sense, it does revisit several points from the story, but on the other hands, non of them are chronologically ordered. More like an informative profile on all new and old emperors.
At least it gets points for being different, with mini Zoro and Brook being narrators. With Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom, Shanks, Blackbeard, Luffy, and Buggy being all emperors of the past and present, it’s while 7 characters have had that title so far, and only one of them hasn’t been replaced yet. With what it seems like it, it feels that Shanks will be taken out by ... |
