All about anime

The world of manga has experienced a major change in recent years with the introduction of digital manga. Now you don't need to go to a bookstore to buy a physical copy , while as for me and a lot of other people who belong to countries where manga is not sold in bookstores , we don't need to order a physical copy online and wait a week for it to be shipped. We can buy digital copies of it and start reading instantly. So, in this day and age have the physical copies lost all of  their purpose? Is their no use of them anymore?  Welcome everyone , today I will be trying to provide a satisfying answer to that question , so sit back and enjoy reading. Let's start off by discussing the pros of digital manga. Digital manga is without a doubt far more convenient from its physical counterpart. I have already mentioned the  advantages that it has during the purchasing process , but another major plus point of it is , convenience during travelling. As a manga fan whe...

Welcome everyone to the weekly anime roundup , here I will be discussing stuff that took place in the anime industry last week. To make it clear , I will not be talking about every little thing that happened but only stuff that I am interested in or I feel you all would be interested in. And I know that I should be doing this roundup at the end of the week on Sunday , but Sunday is my day off and I intend to keep it that way so please bare with me on this. Now that that's out of the way , let's begin. CHARACTER DESIGNS FOR THE PROMISED NEVERLAND ANIME REVEALED The character designs for Norman , Don , Gilda and Ray have been revealed by the studio. Rumors say that the character designs are handled by Masayoshi Tanaka , who did the designs for Darling in the franxx. I think the character designs were fine in DITF for the most part so I don't have anything to complain on that front. I am very excited for this anime as I love the manga and I am looking forward to how ...

Amagi Brilliant park is a fantasy , comedy anime from Kyoto Animation , it follows a narcissistic high schooler Kanie Seiya who is invited to and asked to manage an amusement park called Amagi Brilliant by his classmate Sento Isuzu. This is a run down amusement park that has long lost its popularity , Kanie at first refuses the offer but later finds out that the employees of this park are from maple land , which is a magical place and the only reason why these maple landers are able to exist is by the energy released by the people while they are having fun. To be able to meet these energy demands the park needs to attract 500,000 visitors inside three months . Thus ,  Kanie accepts this job in order to help these maple landers. When I went into this , I was not expecting much but just after a few minutes into the first episode, I realised that this was not just another basic fantasy show. The story , that I initially thought would turn out to be boring , instantly grippe...

Shiki is a psychological horror anime from Studio Daume , it is set in a small village Sotoba. The anime starts by introducing us to Megumi Shimizu , a young girl who wants to leave the village and make a career for herself in the big city. She is obsessed with Natsuno Yuuki , a guy who has recently moved to the village from a city, but Natsuno doesn't seem to care at all about Megumi.. The story starts with a family moving into a mansion close to the village. When Megumi learns that the family has moved in from the city , she cannot stop herself from meeting with them. A day after the meeting , she catches a high fever , and suddenly bizzare incidents start taking place in the village. Before going any further , I want to warn everyone for spoilers , so if you have not watched Shiki , I highly recommend you to do so and also consider yourselves warned. For anyone who has watched it or doesn't care about spoilers , sit back and enjoy reading. So where were we , oh yeah...

Today we will be taking a look at all the manga that Taishi Tsutsui has worked on , I will be talking about each one of them and comparing them as to showcase the journey that the mangaka has been through for the past decade. We will be starting with his first ever manga , Esprit. Esprit is a fantasy , action manga from Taishi Tsutsui , it is set in a world where numerous islands are called "homes" and people of a particular home have little to no knowledge about other homes. These homes are discovered and are kept in check by the agents of the "ocean affairs agency" , from here on I will be referring to these agents as OA agents (ocean affairs agents). These OA agents have certain powers called jinxes which stem from a person's faith. For example ,  if I believe with all my heart that I can cause weather changes then I will gain that power or jinx. The story follows an apprentice OA agent Mio and her friends' adventures , as they explore these hom...

Alright , we have been blessed with another one shot this week. This time it's from Yuto Tsukuda, Shun Saeki and Yuki Morisaki , the authors of Food Wars ( Shokugeki no Soma ). The one shot is titled , Shokugeki no Sanji and as the title suggests , it is about Sanji from One Piece . Now that's a crossover that I am on board with. The events in the manga take place before Sanji meets Luffy and is about the meeting between Sanji and a renowned food critic , Savarin.  Now , because this one shot is about characters that are already established , it does not need to focus on providing any backstory at all. In the last blog I talked about this point while discussing Burn the Witch , which was forced to rely on text heavy pages to set up it's world but Shokugeki no Sanji does not have to do that as it's world is already well established , this worked as a major advantage for the manga as now the authors could give their full attention to make the story interesting wi...

Burn the witch is an action , comedy one shot manga from Tite Kubo , for anyone unaware , he is the mangaka for Bleach , so naturally I was excited for this one. But unfortunately it turned out to be pretty disappointing , the story is set in a world where dragons exist in London. These dragons are not visible to people living in front London (or normal London) but only to the people living in reverse London which is an alternate dimension of the city or something. The dragons are kept in control by wingbird witches and the one shot tells a story about two of these witches , Noel and Nini. I'm not gonna lie , at first glance , the story seemed really interesting to me , it instantly gripped me and made me very curious about the one shot.  But , this curiousity was instantly killed by the first few text heavy pages , and I know that this kind of situation was bound to arise considering the mangaka did not really have a lot of time to lay the foundation of the world as it...
