Max Predicts…. Anime Season: Winter 2018

We are quickly coming to an end to the Fall 2017 season of anime, and soon. This fall season was my first time watching currently airing shows, and it has been very educational. I did pretty well on dropping shows that didn't interest me, but I did give a lot of shows a chance. I …

Max Reads… Nora: The Last Chronicle of Devildom Vol 1 (Manga) Pt 4

Story 4! Let's do this! The beginning of this story is a mix of throwing important stuff at you, and filler. "Kazuma's seal on his hand is bleeding! Nora states his intention to not use magic since Kazuma won't release the contract!" then we cut to the resistance guy we saw earlier trying to be …

Max Reads… Nora: The Last Chronicle of Devildom Vol 1 (Manga) Pt 3

Previously on Nora! Needless exposition! Repetitive character establishment! Reused jokes! Now, onto chapter three. We start off the chapter establishing Nora has a price on his head, and finding out that the resistance is getting information on him. It's an important scene, but kind of forced. We meet the token girl of Kazuma's slacker friends. …

Max Reads… Nora: The Last Chronicle of Devildom Vol 1 (Manga) Pt 2

Alright, onto Story 2. The beginning of this story, well there really isn't much to say. Kazuma is trying to teach Nora basic, elementary things. Hilarity ensues. This part of the story pretty much serves as a blunt way to show how dumb Nora is compared to Kazuma, and we see Nora starting to scheme …

Max Reads… Nora: The Last Chronicle of Devildom Vol 1 (Manga) Pt 1

I remember picking this series up at the local bookstore years ago, just on a whim. This was back when I was still trying to figure out my tastes in anime and manga. I will say I was very happy with this purchase, and I actively looked to finish the series. Let's get into the …

Max Watches…Recovery of an MMO Junkie

This show originally was not on my radar for this currently airing season. I read the summary, and thought that it had a high percentage of not being a show that I would enjoy. These type of shows tend to have a lot of themes that I'm not a big fan of. Well, it is …

Max Talks… A Boy and His Monster (Tales from Jabba’s Palace)

Diving into Tales from Jabba's Palace, our first story is A Boy and His Monster: The Rancor Keeper's Tale. We start the story following these little robed dudes called Jawas. They travel around in their mobile pick-n-pull, looking for scraps to sell. We'll ignore how infeasible it is to travel out in the middle of …

Max Talks… Is the Order A Rabbit? [GochiUsa] (Anime)

Is the Order A Rabbit? (GochiUsa). What a disappointment of an anime. I am no stranger to cute in anime. Shows that focus on cute characters and situations in anime are my bread and butter. But this series. THIS series pushes even MY tolerance for cute in anime. I will state on record that as …

Batman & Harley Quinn

Getting a rant off my chest.
