What makes it so great is that it’s one of the very few shows that captures the true essence of a Shounen anime. It has action, drama, comedy, slice-of-life moments, and even a little bit of what I would call the “spice melange” of anime (a.k.a fanservice). Unironically, it truly has a little something for everyone. Combine all of its charms with some of the most memorable characters in anime, and you have yourself a definite hit....

Rarely has an anime made such an impact in the west, with Death Note perhaps coming close. It evades the usual stereotypes and appeals to essentially everyone. When I worked in Specsavers, my forty-year old boss told me she had seen the first season, and it blew my mind. The reasons are clear: it’s a zombie mecha kaiju story set in a dystopic fantasy medieval world, lacking fanservice to instead deal out compelling characters and a twisting narrative....

And with a series like this it’s normal to find a whole lot of fan games being made. I mean compare it to Mario, it’s huge! Plus these two have been to the Olympics together, right? Considering SEGA has shown a seemingly insurmountable lack of direction with the series for (arguably) the entire last decade, I’m personally overjoyed with so many fan-made projects that keep popping up every year. Whether you’re a fan of the classic 2D gameplay or prefer a more updated approach, you’ll find some awesome ROM hacks in here that’ll definitely keep you busy....

It’s one of the very few long-running series with virtually no bad games, staying on an upward climb ever since 1989. It has a lot to do with staying true to their core concept instead of rebooting the series every couple of releases the way franchises like Digimon or even Final Fantasy tend to do. It’s always relatively the same game, but telling new stories, introducing new characters, and taking advantage of new possibilities in a way that only serves to polish an already solid formula....

Whether you’re looking for comedy, action, sports, romance, drama… there’s something for everyone. Knowing that, I tried to widen my net as much as possible, making sure to get only the best out there by embracing every type of manga. And that leads us into this ranking. So here’s our picks for the best manga released across the 2010s. 20. Food Wars Kicking off the list we have an unusual shonen here....

For as downright broken as that sounds, this card’s usefulness depends on what decks are hot at any given time. But if you have an idea of what you’ll be going up against and want an awesome way to disrupt your opponent, I’ll be going through some of the best Super Polymerization targets in this list! 20. Quintet Magician Let’s start with something powerful but hard to Summon. If you manage to pull this off against a Spellcaster deck, though, there’s almost no coming back from it (for your opponent, anyway)....

And in anime, young characters usually fall into three groups: cute as all hell, a moral beacon greater than any saint, or a little psychopath. And I think each has its charm, honestly. So let’s take a look into some of the greatest anime whippersnappers this side of the great otaku river! And to be clear, any character 13 or younger counts as a kid in my book. 25. Alluka Zoldyck Anime: Hunter x Hunter (2011) Coming off the absolute hype house masterpiece that was the Chimera Ant arc, I wasn’t expecting much....

Although I hope that’s not the case, the whole apocalypse/dystopia setting usually makes for some great storytelling… so we have that to look forward to, at the least! Or if you don’t want to wait for the real world, maybe dig into some apocalyptically-themed anime. This list should give you plenty of ideas on some of the best post-apocalyptic and/or dystopian worlds that anime has to offer. 30. From the New World Power is a tricky thing, as history has shown us that people fear it – and will most likely either try to kill it, or control it....

While most Rangers are incredibly fast and aim to take turn one, others are designed more to deal heavy damage or inflict debuffs. With limited defensive options, it becomes important to take the first turn, or have ways to make an impact with the limited time available. So if you need ideas for your next build, here’s some Ranger Artifacts that can help your openers, damage-dealers, and debuffers. 5. Bloodstone Rarity: 5* Preferred Heroes: Bellona, Seaside Bellona, Landy Bloodstone is great for battles where traditional healing is forbidden....

Does anyone even play as the male protagonist? I had to run a Google search to make sure there even was a male option since people prefer the Scottish-inspired cutie Gloria by such a large margin. Such an overabundance of waifu material brings forth the all-important question that has kept people in Internet forums debating since the game was released: Who’s the best waifu in Pokémon Sword & Shield?...

What are the best series to watch? It’s a tough question, ain’t it? Well let’s focus on anime that came out just in the 2010s, so any releases between 201-2019 are fair game! Here are our top picks for the best 2010s anime you should absolutely check out. 50. Black Clover Black Clover definitely had a very rocky start, as dogs all over the world reacted to Asta’s death screech....

The best place to farm loads of thunder shards in is Neverland. Go to Neverland at the first save point in the Hull (The Brig), and there’s only one door out of this room. Go through it and tons of Yellow Opera will spawn for your picking. Take ‘em all out, grab the drops, then leave the world via the save spot & re-enter to repeat. How To Get Thunder Shards (All Options) There’s quite a few places you can get Thunder Shards in the game....

It was a type with a lot of in-built synergy, with each psychic monster gaining attack boosts or special abilities when other psychics were on the field. They also tend to pay life points to unlock their effects, while their synchro monsters specialize in gaining you those life points back (and then some!) Since then, a couple of psychic decks have actually made their way into the meta game. Who could forget Kozmo, the Star Wars inspired deck that took every single tournament by storm?...

What was previously a niche form of entertainment became increasingly accepted by Western audiences as television channels introduced more anime into their programming. The GBA’s library reflects this historical moment with plenty of anime-based titles spanning many different genres. There had always been anime games on Nintendo consoles, but more were brought to the West with English translations than ever before. It was a great time to be an anime fan – and you can re-live that period by checking out any of these top-quality anime-themed games that defined the GBA’s library....

I’m not sure why bards have never been incorporated as classes in The Elder Scrolls, but one thing’s certain: there are thousands of players who would absolutely love it – myself included! Thankfully though, we won’t have to hope that Bethesda adds them in the next TES installment. You can actually play as a bard in Skyrim right now! All you’ve gota do is install a few mods that’ll make your bard experience feel more immersive than you could imagine....

At the time of writing, there are about 30 The Legend of Zelda games, and most are absolutely fantastic. Thanks to the franchise’s massive popularity, there’s an army of content creators constantly giving all of these titles love – and trying to unearth all of the secrets in these digital worlds. These are 10 amazing Zelda content creators to check out if you want to dive deep into the world of Hyrule....

What keeps me hooked? I haven’t a clue, could be the odd storylines or the quirky humor mixed into each character. Or the time travel. Or probably the memes poking fun of all this stuff. I mean at this point, does it really matter who the doctor is? I’m gonna love this show regardless, and I have to say I love Doctor Who memes even more. 1. 2. 3. 4....

While Anime fans played JRPGs like Final Fantasy or Wild ARMs, their Ronaldinho-worshipping cousins were at home shooting cops and running over old ladies in San Andreas. Nowadays, people fail to conform to just one stereotype. The best football player at school/college might be a raging Attack on Titan fan, and even the biggest “Anime nerd” can enjoy some GTA 5. Nothing brings these two worlds together like mods created by a legion of fans with some free time and an intense love for all things anime....

Why? Because everything is better when it’s black. This is also true of shiny Pokémon. Especially if those colors change to black. And in this list, I’ll be looking at which Pokémon are better off having gone to the dark side. I’m adding one personal rule to this: a primary color of the Pokémon has to change to black. So there will be no Pokémon that are already black with new highlights (Sorry Umbreon, Luxray, and Zoroark)....

Who could forget the first time they heard Proof of a Hero in the opening sequence for the first Monster Hunter? Such excitement! Monster Hunter: World follows the footsteps of its predecessors in its efforts to be the most immersive game in the franchise. The developers knew that a good song can make or break an area, a mission, or a boss fight, so they made great efforts to weave it into other aspects of the game....
