Category: My Thoughts on:

My version of a review section, except generally nowhere near that structured. Sometimes I’ll just pick out a single talking point from a movie or game rather than a full review. It’s generally my reactionary take on recent media.

Dragon Ball Super – Chapter 46 Review: Namek in Decline

A chapter that begins with Goku receiving an almost Vegeta-like beat down. That’s certainly refreshing.

While I was always aware this was a promotional anime, designed to sell a card game rather than a serious piece of storytelling (as serious as Dragon Ball can get there days) or add anything new to the ongoing lore.
