This ‘Fairly Odd Parents’ Parody is the American Version of ‘Death Note’ You Didn’t Ask For (But Actually Needed)
Already seen the much-reviled Netflix adaptation of Death Note? Still reeling from how awful it was, cringing from how far removed the output is from the source material? Do you perhaps feel like writing your own name in a death note, to save yourself the frustration of continuing to live in a world where such movies thrive and exist? Are you looking for something to wash your mind clean of the fake Kira you just saw, the fake Light Yagami that had little to do with the true god of the new world?

A Lovable Menace: Why Goku Is Easily The Most Unreliable Hero In The 'Dragon Ball' Universe
#SonGoku is the #shounen genre's version of Usagi Tsukino — a classic figure in modern-day storytelling, representing an archetype that appeals most to the flawed, human everyman in all of us. And like the common man, despite being much-revered as a hero, #Goku — as a person — is far from perfect.

15 Must-Watch Anime (for DnD Players)
Dungeons and Dragons (DnD for short) remains one of the most popular fantasy roleplaying games around. It has drawn inspiration from tons of fantasy literature--from Tolkein's Lord of the Rings to Michael Moorcock's Elric Saga. Fans of DnD often seek out fantasy books and films to recreate that rush of imagination and inspiration they feel while rolling a twenty-sided dice. So often, however, they neglect anime in their pursuit.

Sci-Fi Frenemies You Love to Hate
Science fiction is full of rivalries, of enemies, of villains, but frenemies--the sort of characters who are at once friend and foe--are less common. It is hard to find two characters who are at once locked in combat and embroiled in passionate friendship.

Weird Scientific Theories Proposed in Science Fiction
Science fiction can be wacky, especially when weird theories about existence get thrown into the mix. Some sci-fi prides itself on its grounded adherence to scientific law. Hard sci-fi, as it is sometimes called, obeys the laws of theoretical physics (think the Mars Trilogy, Moon, or, recently, Arrival). Other times, writers play fast and quick with the laws, don't explain what is happening, and hope that the audience will suspend disbelief so they can join them on a wild ride. Sometimes, audiences don't mind this (do we really understand how the Death Star can blow up a whole planet? Or care?), but sometimes writers try to justify what's happening with "science." The weird sci-fi theories these writers create range from sound and plausible to so abstract and bizarre that the audience just sits back, slack jawed, and asks "What the hell am I watching?"

Major Draw
The countdown is on until the release of Hollywood's big-budget action-thriller adaptation of Shirow Masamune's Ghost in the Shell. Both highly-anticipated and highly-reviled, the movie has become the epicenter of long threads on various social media sites. Much of the hype surrounds the intensity and beauty of the special effects and hope for an interesting storyline, while derision centers on the casting of Scarlett Johansson as Motoko Kusanagi (renamed "Mira"), the protagonist. Equally understand-able is the trepidation that some fans feel considering what a strong presence "the Major" – as she is referred to by fans and her underlings alike – has throughout the franchise.

Anticipation Killed the Cat
If you are like me, you have a stream of information coming at you from all your social media accounts, mostly about things you have liked and are interested in. Like sucking down a mint chocolate chip milkshake too fast and getting that brain freeze, we continue to do it because it fills that instant void. When is too much of a good thing too much? I’ll use the example of the upcoming movie Ghost in the Shell as the example.
