Rick vs Maison Ikkoku

Image
  This month, I started reading Maison Ikkoku by Rumiko Takahashi. I had just finished reading all of her other(finished) works, so I figured I might as well finish with this one. I heard a lot of good things about it: Namely that it's pretty much considered her magnum opus in the greater anime landscape. And yet I made it the last on my list. I can tell you the reason, and it's kind of petty: I don't really do slice-of-life works. Okay, that's an exaggeration. I do like some such as Azumanga Daioh, but what I mean is that I just prefer watching more out there stuff like Ranma or Inuyasha, so this manga was definitely different. Expectations: Shown: Kyoko being jealous.   I really have high expections. I loved all of Takahashi's work so I'm not thinking I'm going to hate this. Impressions: I loved it, end of blog.   Godai will be a wonderful dad Okay, I'm going to give you a little more than that. Maison Ikkoku is a really fun romantic-comedy. All the c...

Rick vs Fairy Tail

  Introduction:   A few months ago, I decided to read the entirety of Fairy Tail. It was something I had always planned to do but never got around to doing. I have heard from a lot of people about how bad it is, yet it is one of the most popular manga in existence, selling millions of copies and a very passionate fanbase. It's kinda like how Bleach was percieved before the TYBW anime premiered now that I think about it. Technically, I've watched an episode before reading, but I kinda stopped. There really wasn't anything wrong with it, I thought, it was a standard Shonen Battle Manga. But I've come to realize that I don't really mind standard Shonen Battle Manga. So, in honor of Fairy Tail's 20th anniversary, I decided to read it for myself to see if it's as bad as the internet says it is, or if there's a good reason why it's so popular. Note: There will be spoilers. Expectations: Motion sickness is a terrible thing   Coming into this manga, I alread...

Rick vs Fallout the Unforgiven

  Review:   The Unforgiven is a Fallout mod about revenge, a woman with a chip on her shoulder, and a small town known as Gravestone. At its core, it's a western, specifically, the darker ones you'd see in the 70s made by Italians for some reason. Right off the bat, the mod deals with themes such as SA, exploitation, and heavy violence. Yeah, it's a bit dark. The mod's better endings are acquired not through pacifism, but having to get your hands dirty and killing someone. The story of it really captures the western movie feel: You start off by grabbing a bounty off a bounty board, then you go through the mojave before finding that your target has been killed by someone else, Locke. Now you must join up with Griffa and find him for your revenge. This takes you to Gravestone where you take up a series of tasks that end up with you finding Locke. The quests are filled with morally ambiguous characters and you can end up changing certain characters fates depending on yo...
