What would a sports anime be without vigorous training, am I right? I’m talking about training so hard that you’re going to puke or being so tired that you’re unable to function. Well, in this episode of Keijo, we get all that, minus the puking.

By training, I’m talking about making figure eights with your butt, pushing a tire with your chest and/or butt, and last but not least, walking with your butt.

Welcome back to the CBMFP. This week we're going to breeze past a death in the comic industry and right into At&t's tentative purchase of Time Warner. Then it's on to some Fox movie news that includes Deadpool 2 and Logan.

It's a lot like Waterworld. It's a little like Tank Girl. One bit reminds me a lot of Y: The Last Man. The Chasing Arrows feels a lot like a lot of things that already exist, but unlike a lot of books read here on Bastards, here this doesn't raise my red flags. The only time clichés and allusions are crimes are when you get the sense that the writer just wanted to take credit for a story they read elsewhere or to plug holes in their writing instinctually with overly familiar shortcuts. The Chasing Arrows feels familiar but brings enough of its own ideas to the table to result in a new property worth seeing what it builds into.

Much like the main characters of this book, I think I might be falling in love… with the story; which is difficult to admit since it has wasted so many opportunities and picked the familiar path of the harem genre time and time again. Perhaps it’s the fact that I’ve kept reading it that I’ve become so invested or that I watched two seasons of the anime to see how it all started. Whatever it is, this volume got me. Now, that doesn’t mean it’ll keep me because this all hinges on what happens next.

It’s the second test of the Stagiaire Challenge and Yukihira has been sent to work with the chef that he challenged during the spring… challenge. You know what? They have far too many season theme challenges. Hell, I’m not even sure it was spring… summer? Doesn’t matter. Yukihira is working in Shinomiya’s kitchen, the man that failed Megumi.

Doctor Crowe is an anthology or sorts in that there are four separate stories, but they’re all written by Corey Fryia, and each story has a different artist. It’s very similar to what other publishers do on annuals in which they invite different creators to tell a variety of stories with a set of characters, but in this instance, it’s one man telling the stories. I’m not opposed to that; I just wish it had a damn name beside "anthology."

While looking at the cover for Prospects, I instantly played the “one of these things is not like the other” game and focused in on the guy dead center. I knew in a heartbeat that he was going to be the main character due to his annoyed look and disheveled appearance.

Armoured Science Kung-Fu Cats where’s its influences in its title. It is part TMNT, part Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and part cat internet videos. If you want ten seconds of joy, look up cats and cucumbers, no more than ten seconds, though, any longer, and you’ll question life choices you’ve made leading you to this point.

The vague premise I read for this series paired with the genre, gave me every reason I needed to check out Occultic;Nine. Side note, stop it with the weird shitty punctuation that’s added to these animes. As a reviewer, it’s annoying to write something intentionally wrong. Not that I’m perfect, but at least when I write something wrong I usually don’t know that I am.
