Another regression story for us losers who wish we could regress to mine bitcoin on our Windows XP laptop, completely ignorant to the fact our parents would kill us for tripling their electricity bill. In reality, this is a power-fantasy manga with a different lick of paint like it's predecessors, however the fruit of this series is the downright masterful combat scenes.
If you like action comics this is a MUST READ - the swordplay, hand-to-hand, and wrestling on display in these fights is downright thrilling. Overall great series for action and power-fantasy. The world is somewhat interesting but don't expect Picasso, this is more Pacquiao.

The Legend of the Northern Blade
(Manga)
add
A certified must read for anyone who likes action comics, the characters are realistic, plot devices are interesting, and the combat is actually insane. At a complete 202 chapters, the story is tight with zero fat and the pacing is ridiculous - even the worst plot points are justified satisfyingly. This is easily the best murim comic I've seen and it's in contention with Top Tier Providence for being the best Chinese-fantasy type comic ever made.
I've never seen a better example of a over-powerful MC in a series before - once you realise the true scope of the world the power scaling becomes very obvious. Rarely ...

Look, let's not pretend this show is a deep metaphorical masterpiece akin to Shakespeare - this is premium A-Grade trash, I know because I'm an expert in trash. Solo Leveling isn't Mcdonalds saver menu, it's the hipster-run burger joint in your town that's three times the price and taste.
Don't bother watching this show if you detest power fantasy isekais, wuxia, gates, and towers; however, if you consume as much asian slop as I do, you'll already know that Solo Leveling is one of the founding forefathers of modern Manhwa trash. This season continues to do the writer and artist justice with ridiculously smooth animation, great ...

Log-in Murim

Actually a really good read, great characters, artwork is decent, premise is well-done, and overall story is pretty fantastic.
Just as you get tired of a murim plot point it concludes the arc, gives a good cliffhanger, then throws the MC back to the modern world - rinse and repeat. While the MC is pretty generic for the most part - the supporting cast are all really interesting and their dialogue makes for lots of hilarious situations. Thankfully the MC frequently has challenges in combat, and his insane strength gains make a decent amount of sense (with him regularly hopping inside a murim-based hyperbolic time chamber). ...

I'm an elitist pig anime watcher, and while I act like I know something (and literally know nothing), there is one true aspect I'm an expert in - overpowered MC trash. Is this show generic? Yes. Is it stupid? Yes. Is it genuinely pretty good? In my opinion, 100%.
A big fan of the manga, the backstory of the main characters turn out to be great. Rick's party Orihalcon Fist is fun on screen, the waifus are cute, and the production is surprisingly good. While the world building and magic system is rehashed and generic, the self-aware humour keeps it a little fresh and the lovable ...

Sousou no Frieren
(Anime)
add
With pristine animation, beautiful characters, and a compelling story - One of the greatest fantasy adventure mangas ever, Sousou no Frieren, has been perfectly immortalized in animation.
Each episode Freiren retraces the steps of her favourite 10-year adventure to try and grasp an understanding of humanity that her near-immortal race so frequently struggles with. Interacting with her own past culminates in bittersweet memories juxtaposed by the wholesome modern-day cast being nothing other than fun on screen. Characters are great, with realistic emotions and interactions, and the interesting world is fleshed out masterfully as the group goes along their adventure to the north. The animation and art is ...

Jujutsu Kaisen 2nd Season
(Anime)
add
More JJK is always welcomed: the first season is an amazing definition of shounen done right, and has some of the best fight scenes of all of anime; the film is essentially more of the same and its a welcome addition to ther story, albeit it falls into the shounen traps more often; this season feels slightly different.
Although it starts with a history lesson on Gojo's background, his time at school is far from comfortable. This season is REALLY happy to subvert your expectations with gory and down-right disturbing plot points. The final part of episode 3 and epsiode 4 are chilling, especially as Gojo's ...

Carried by extremely nice artwork, this isekai/game-like fantasy series is generic to a T. Characters are sadly very mono-tone albeit enjoyable, world building is lackluster but relatively fun, combat scenes are... surprisingly great. Overall good - an easy recommendation for fans of this genre.
The fun of this series exists in how the simple characters interact with the decent world. How the MC abuses his game mechanics gets a minmaxer like myself hyped up, assisted by the beautifully drawn panels. The fights are pretty great, smart decision making from the characters makes for oddly sensible conclusions to otherwise "impossible" fights. Shame to say, not a single character ...

Textbook generic Manhwa with an overpowered MC who acts disparagingly to everyone he meets like a child. The start is pretty fun, however large swathes of the fights are completely unreadable due to terrible artwork - this eventually gets better after the original artist gets fired. The middle of the series becomes a fightfest, which could be cool if the fighting wasn't so boring. The later half of the series where the artist starts to learn from their mistakes is pretty enjoyable and the main story reaches some very satisfying conclusions.
The dialogue is frequently atrocious - the writer seems to love make the characters call ...

Super no Ura de Yani Suu Futari

An easy recommendation for anyone who even slightly likes romance. Super realistic tone with a bunch of believable and likable characters. Surprisingly stays fun and fresh while much the same continues to happen. Romance elements are very wholesome and hard to hate on. I feel like this series has weirdly high potential...
All of the characters are super realistiic, and very relatable. The dialogue is entertaining and the overarching story is fitting - while maintaining a sense of realism many romance manga frequently forget. I'm looking forward to how the characterization is done for volume 3 and onwards, this series could have a genuinely great story ... |
