One Piece chapter 1142 review
Oda shows no sign of hitting the breaks on Elbaph this week. It’s amazing how different his storytelling feels for this arc and Egghead compared to the bloat of Wano. Whether it’s a second wind from reaching the final saga, a response to feedback or personal feelings about how Wano turned out, or fear that…

One Piece chapter 1141 review
Man, things are moving in this arc! I expected at least another chapter of transition and chapter before Luffy and Zoro even reached Loki, let alone freed him, but Oda’s wasting no time at all on this one. And we’re still in volume 112, with at least two chapters of it to go. This book…

Gundam GQuuuuuux Beginning review
For the uninitiated, GQuuuuuux Beginning is the first fourish episodes of the upcoming Gundam series, made in collaboration with Studio Khara and plenty of staff of Neon Genesis Evangelion fame (including Hideaki Anno himself), recut into a short movie to preview the series in theatres. I had the chance to watch it this afternoon. This…

One Piece chapter 1140 review and analysis
Oda is such a tease. Let there be no fear that the series is wrapping up anytime soon. Despite a hugely memorable entrance Shamrock seems to be ducking out to save his boss status for later, and even Scopper hints that he plans to sit things out and not reveal anything he has to say…

One Piece chapter 1139 review and analysis
It’s definitely not the blockbuster that the last two chapters were, but the rollercoaster had to peak somewhere, and I don’t think there’s many who’d complain about getting a Scopper Gaban reveal. Even with a shorter pagecount and break week to really make things feel like old times. I’m on record somewhere on the internet…

One Piece chapter 1138 review and mural analysis
I’m going to put it out there. This is the best One Piece chapter since the Reverie kicked off in mid-2018. The Emperors’ bounties and Roger laughing in Wano came close, but this is the first thing to truly make me feel like I did back at that last big reveal. While I don’t think…

One Piece chapter 1137 review
Back on three chapters in a row, and the main plot is keeping on picking up steam. This is bliss! The chapter may only have two segments but both are rich with new lore and statements with deeper implications. We start in the castle, and I have to first compliment the ruined aesthetic. Like previous…

One Piece chapter 1136 review
Alright, the holiday break season seems to be over, and it looks like we’re starting to get to the main plot of Elbaph. I’m excited to get back into a One Piece rhythm. In the cover story, Who’s Who reminds us all that he was once a spy with his incredibly subtle secret base. But…

One Piece chapter 1135 review
New year, new Piece, let’s go! We kick off with a pleasant surprise of Tama taking charge in the cover story. Good for her. Holdem’s dropped sword taking out the lion on the way down is a fun detail. There’s a mix of highs and lows in this first week of the year, Oda doubling…

One Piece chapter 1134 review
Elbaf is getting in gear and starting to hint toward its real themes and storylines. The prelude, reunion and environmental art dumps seem to be wrapping up, but even with the big cliffhanger this one ends on there’s likely to be a crossfade between the opening worldbuilding and the serious story over the coming chapters.…
