The Hero And The Pretender One Punch Man Season 2 Episode 7 The S Class heroes are finally on the move against the monsters, not that the audience or One Punch Man cares given how little screen time the catastrophe striking multiple cities is given. Instead our focus is either on the end of the … Continue reading One Punch Man Review Season 2 Episodes 7 + 8
Everybody is Monster Fighting Episode 6 Monsters outside the arena and monsters inside it. This episode keeps cutting between the two and both are interesting enough in their own way. Alright, I’ll be honest. I liked this episode a lot because we got quite a lot of Genos. Genos left the arena to go fight … Continue reading One Punch Man Review Season 2 Episode 6
The monsters attack! Episode 5 Metal Bat versus Garou; heroes of all shapes and sizes versus monsters who have suddenly started thinking and planning; Saitama versus random guy that we’ll probably never see again… One Punch Man season 2 really decided to go for some fighting this episode and it isn’t just the tournament Saitama … Continue reading One Punch Man Review Season 2 Episode 5
Meet Metal Bat - He Hits Things With His Bat Episode 4 While there’s a little of the Saitama joining the martial arts tournament in this episode, he’s decidedly in the background, as this episode focuses on S Class Hero Metal Bat (they really need to fire the guys who come up with these idiotic … Continue reading One Punch Man Review Season 2 Episode 4
This is part of a series of re-posts of older reviews on 100 Word Anime. The original review came out in August 2016 and can be found here. I've not made all that many changes to this one as my opinion really hasn't changed. I did however, get rid of the plus/minus format. Still, if you … Continue reading One Punch Man Series Review: One Punch – One Joke
Overview: There's no denying that season 1 of this show made me sit up and take notice when I picked it up mid-season after reading many positive reviews. The second season continues Midoriya's journey (as well as the rest of the students' journies) to becoming a hero. Earlier I covered some of the ideas in … Continue reading My Hero Academia Season 2 Series Review: Shining the Light on Heroes and Villains
Review: I know they put Midoriya and Bakugo together because their communication was dreadful, but that just seemed needlessly unfair. Midoriya was trying, kind of, to work with Bakugo and he is an absolute jerk. I still can't believe we're actually supposed to see him as a future hero and not a villain. Though in … Continue reading My Hero Academia Episode 37: Those Two Have Got To Work On Their Issues
Review: If this wasn't the second last episode of the season, you would swear it was a filler episode. We get the match ups of most of the characters we don't really care about (Uraraka is the exception here but her match is over and done in almost an instant). While there's certainly merit to … Continue reading My Hero Academia Episode 36: And So They Fought
Review: There's a lot of terrible teachers out in the anime universe, fortunately for Todoroki and Yaoyorozu, Aizawa isn't one of them. Even when he's hunting them down, he still takes the time to reflect on their progress as students and to give them the push they need to overcome their own difficulties. As much … Continue reading My Hero Academia Episode 35: Aizawa’s Always A Teacher
What do you do when you watch something that for everything you love about it, you find something else completely cringe worthy, dull or irritating? Well, in my case you keep watching but then you write a blog post to both celebrate what this long anticipated series does well and to openly wonder just what … Continue reading The Defenders First Impressions: I’m Half In and Half Out on This One
