Anime Reviews: Fairy Tail Episode 98 - Who's The Lucky One?

Introduction
And finally we are caught up to the current episode. Enjoy more timely reviews from this point on. I may not be the most analytical reviewer, a lot of my recommendations are based off how entertained I was by a show. Which is how I am approaching this episode. There are bits that could be complained about, but in the end it was entertaining, and that's all I'm asking for.

You can never have too many of these screenshots.

One Piece Anime Retrospective

Obviously I can't review every episode of the One Piece anime before the time skip starts. And even reviewing it in chunks would take too long. So instead I'm going to write a short retrospective article about my experience with One Piece.

Introduction
With the beginning of a new arc come dire foreshadowings. Sideline characters get more focus, and best of all, new music! The start of a new arc is always one of the best parts of a lot of anime. The same is true of Fairy Tail.

Post Updates

I run a few extra blogs, on different topics. I've figured that I might as well periodically post links to new posts in case anyone reading this is interested.

My most recent post is on The Ironforge, a blog where I talk about medieval weapons. My most recent post is a personal experience where I got into a heated argument about how much swords weighed. While having lunch at Red Robin.

Yes. This happened.

Introduction
With the previous arc at an end, now we take some time to recover before the next big arc. A good chunk of this episode is filler, but as is par the course, none of it is stupid. If nothing else, Fairy Tail can be trusted to be entertaining. No matter how odd it gets.

A New Helper Has Arrived!

Hello there, I'm Monorum though I prefer to be called Moe. I'm an unemployed, twenty-two year-old Asian who will be doing the Blue Exorcist anime reviews for the site from now on. Derek and I have known each other for a few years via chatting online. We've even met in person last year at San Diego Comic-Con 2010. He's easy to get along with once you get to know him.

While we were having our usual chats a couple days ago, Derek mentioned he has been busy lately and needed someone to take over for the Blue Exorcist anime reviews. Since I had been caught up with the series at the time, I offered to help him. I'm not in college right now but I am an English major which is why I decided to offer my assistance not to mention I have more free time than Derek does until I get a job where I am (which will not be easy considering the state I live in).

I look forward to bringing you reviews of the latest Blue Exorcist episodes as I hope to review more series in the future like Star Driver, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and if possible, take over ongoing series reviews like Beelzebub in the near future.

And Toriko.

I hope the crows feast on your flesh.

Introduction
With this episode the Edolas arc comes to a close. Besides the episode itself, we must consider the arc as a whole. Is it better or worse than the manga? Is this episode a good ending to the arc? Both questions will be considered in this review.

Year Of One Piece: Introduction

I originally intended to do this much later, but with the time skip in the anime coming up, I decided this would be a good time to start. A while back I was reading a blog that was focusing an entire year on Rumiko Takahashi's work. I liked the idea, and decided to do the same for One Piece. With a few differences. Instead of focusing on just the manga, I would review everything related to One Piece I could get my hands on.

This includes the Funimation DVDs, the released manga volumes, music, movies, ovas, games, the anime episodes. Basically anything goes. As long as I can get my hands on it. Originally I intended to spend some time gathering as much reviewable material as I could. But the timing is just too good now. So I'll review what I have now, and whenever I have the money I'll pick up new material. A year is a long time, who knows what I can find in that time. And who knows, maybe I'll suddenly find a ton of spendable cash.

Donations are appreciated.

In order to be certain that all your donations go towards Year of One Piece, I won't provide a donation button. Instead you can click that link for my amazon wish list, where I have entered the materials I might need later on.

I'm going to continue other reviews, especially weekly anime reviews, but I can promise at least one One Piece related review each week. More whenever I have the time.

A year is a long time, especially for one man. But One Piece deserves more than a year. And there is so much released even outside of Japan that I could easily fill a year with just that. So join me, every Monday (for One Piece anime reviews) and Wednesday as I delve deep into the world wide phenomena that is One Piece.

Introduction
Sometimes there are episodes that could use a little bit of work on the pacing. But oddly enough even the drawn out episodes of Fairy Tail are not as irritatingly slow as some series have been in the past.
