Shadow Chun li kicks nostalgia feel into SFV AE

Anybody who has played Marvel vs Capcom: Clash of Heroes will remember the infamous Shadow Chun li or known to some folks as simply Shadow lady character. Basically a dark color swap of Chun li for the MvC game which is as OP as Cyber Akuma of the same title.

Started out as somewhat as a hidden character Sub boss Shadow Chun li character has appeared in other MvC titles but I'm sure a lot of folks didn't expect to see the character make the jump to Street Fighter V Arcade Edition around last week.

Isekai Cheat Magician - An Isekai that subtlety Mixes Science and Magic

What do you do when you got an Isekai character that is too OP that even the main character knows it. Isekai Cheat Magician is pretty much what the title suggest. An Isekai anime where the main character is considered too powerful it feels like a gameshark cheat. The idea in itself is a two sided sword at best. Also there will be a bit of spoilers in this review.

Need for Speed Heat Trailer - Faster Cars and Angrier Cops

My Top 10 Isekai Protagonist

With isekai becoming somewhat a trend for quite a while now I've finally decided to make my Top 10 list of Isekai anime protagonist just for the heck of it. I've been wanting to make one for a long time but can't decide how in depth I would make it since Isekai theme can date as far as Aura battler and Rayearth. Eventually I decided to focus on recent Isekai animes. Sorry El Hazard.

To those that still don't know what Isekai anime are they are anime where the main character is brought to another world or dimension be it the future, the past or an entire new dimension. This places also cover past future and even inside of video games.

Geekatana Anime Review: Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid

Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid is the third season of the Full Metal panic series and is the second time that the  franchise is being handled by Kyoto Animation after getting the license for Gonzo. The series was originally released back in 2005 roughly two years after Full Metal Panic Fumoffu own release.

While the Full Metal Panic Fumoffu deals on the comedic aspect of the series, Full Metal Panic the Second Raid however dives into the far more serious aspect of the series which is the military and political side of things.

Geekatana Movie Review: Hello, Love, Goodbye

I'll be frank I have no intention of watching Hello, Love, Goodbye. I was more of dragged into it by someone. I haven't watched even the trailer or even read a short synopsis on what the film was about. My sister wanted to see it so I sort of just went to see the film just to accompany her.

I'm clearly not a big fan of love story movies specially local made films since they tend to be the typical cliche romcom with unoriginal or over used plots. But still judging a film this early without seeing it was bad so I kept an open mind and went into the theater hoping for the best. Also minor spoilers.

Geekatana Review: Gen:LOCK

I was planning to watch and review this series since it was first released but was always been put off due to other priorities that keep popping up on my end. But at least I'm happy to announce that I kept away from spoilers for this show until I finally got to binge watch it last week.
