The Dragon Ball Super Movie: The Redemption of Broly

We’ve known there was a Dragon Ball Super movie coming for a while now. The nature of which didn’t become completely apparent until very recently, and let me tell you, that has a been a roller coaster of emotions for me personally. While it initially seemed like the premise of the movie focused around the original Super Saiyan/God: “Yamoshi”, that might have just been a bait and switch from Toei. A poster popped up online with the following subtitle. Confirming that the first Dragon Ball Super movie is going to focus on Broly: The Legendary Super Saiyan.

Although, “Legendary” might not be the case any longer. While Broly is a character the Dragon Ball fandom know all too well, this isn’t going to be the same character who appeared in those past movies from the mid 90s. This is Akira Toriyama’s interpretation of the character, and this time he’s going to be canon. A reinvention of the character by the original creator.

Mid-Week Review: Cells at Work! – Episode 1: Pneumococcus

Being the basic anime bitch that I am, as a new anime season begins, I endeavour to search out the series the most people are talking about and watch just that, giving myself a minimal chance of watching something that might be trash. This time I get into the first episode of Cells At Work!

She seems majorly incompetent at her job, but its okay because she is adorable.

Mid-Week Review: Attack on Titan – Episode 38: Smoke Signals

The third season of Attack on Titan snuck up on us. It seems as unlikely as the Titans in the show doing the same thing, and yet they both managed to pull it off without much effort. After a first season of relentlessly grim death and destruction, the second season brought us out of the gloom and started to provide us with plot that wasn’t just killing off every character you knew and loved, we get a new chapter. One following on from the mystery borne from revelations that there is more to the monsters than it first appeared.

The start of the episode does a surprisingly good job of reminding us where we left off after a pretty densely packed second season. One that became less about the Titans themselves, but more about the external forces who, like Erin, can turn into Titans, and why they’re infiltrating the Walled Cities.
