Good news: After tomorrow I won't have a job interfering with me getting my blog out anymore. Bad news: After tomorrow I won't have a job.

Also, so many double chapters this week.

Fairy Tail
This chapter was okay I suppose. On one hand, I did like seeing Gray's new devil slayer powers in action, but it really doesn't feel different than his normal ice powers so I am not really impressed. The big thing of this chapter I guess was that Jienma is now a demon. I don't know if this was supposed to be a surprise and a big turn of events but I know at least for me, I have expected it ever since Minerva was turned into a demon. One thing that bugs me is Gray saying he was turned into a demon "like Minerva". Since when does he know Minerva became a demon? He shouldn't have known unless I missed something. But anyway, Jienma's demon form is alright. He is apparently stronger than the 9 demon gates so I guess I am looking forward to his fight? I don't know. I've never cared for Sting or Rogue and their fights don't do much for me but who knows, maybe they will surprise me. As for Mard's demon form...ugh. I just don't like a thing about Mard. I get he is really strong and all but he is just not interesting to me as a villain. I just want him done with quick. The chapter was okay but Mashima is sticking true to classic shonen tropes: reveal something huge then never talk about it again for 20 chapters. I honestly believe it will be 10+ chapters until we get any more info on Lumen Historie.

Shingeki no Kyojin
I honestly don't know what to make of this chapter. Putting aside all the stuff that isn't happening with Eren for now, Eren's dad was a titan shifter, he killed the Reiss family and all because he wanted the Reiss daughters memory power. I was pretty confused as to all the non specifics of powers they were talking about but one thing I question is if what Reiss told us was true. Obviously Historia is remembering some of it but we know that the Reiss family can supposedly manipulate memories, so could he be manipulating Historia's memories? I don't know but something big is about to happen. The other thing we get confirmation of is Kenny may really be related to Mikasa. I was wondering when they would touch on that since revealing he was an Ackerman but we finally have it. All in all I guess I am just a bit confused as to everything that happened. Solid chapter though.

I will be a bit brief on these two as they basically contained the content of a single chapter between them. Can I just say Hawk befriending Merlin as a fellow boar made me daww? I'm still so happy Hawk is alive. Anyway, this chapter was okay. It is really concluding the wrap up and setting up for what is next. Merlin is back in and a magic item of hers is missing so we have our gateway as to whats next and I'm betting Escanor is wherever that coffin is. We also get a little conclusion with Jericho and Guilla and it was funny seeing Jericho have a crush on ban. The best part of this all though was Gunther's creepy smile. Also, Ill take Meliodias' words to Elizabeth as a confession of love. Good chapter.

102
Going heavy on the pairings here. Diane and King are pretty cute so whatever. The fairy and the giant. With Gil needing to redeem himself after his sins and Ban leaving for the time being, I can see Gil joining the crew as a temporary sin. I don't know, it might work out. Im sad to see Ban leave though. I hope he gets some frames showing what he is up to. I think the angels or whatever he spoke to are fake and we will find that out soon. But once again, Gunther stealing the chapter by taking Guilla to bed. I talked to Wrath about this and we think that maybe his armor was meant to control his lust. Its something to consider. I felt this chapter was good, but a little worse than the last chapter. If I could give decimal points, I'd give it a 6.9, but since I can't, its a 7.

Bleach
I feel like just writing "typical bleach" for all my bleach reviews now. Okay, useless quincies dead, Yhwach's guards are powered up. This air bullet power is kind of dumb and I don't really care for it. The only two interesting parts of this chapter to me were Shunsui saying he is going to the Soul King Palace and Yhwach about to fight Hyosube. The only thing that can make me excited now is bankais or if Hyosube is a kido master like I hoped. Bad chapter as usual.

Naruto
I'm sure this is what you were all waiting for. The Naruto reviews

699
Pretty typical wrap up chapter. It was pretty much what needed to happen so pretty expected. Everyone is awakened and Naruto and Sasuke are healed. I won't say this chapter was phenomenal but it did its job. The one thing I don't get is why Tsunade resigned? It seems kind of pointless to make Kakashi the Hokage for one chapter because we know Naruto will be hokage by the end of next chapter. The interaction between Sasuke and Sakura felt weird. It just doesn't feel natural to me to have Sasuke suddenly friendly with Sakura when he has dismissed her for so many years. All in all, good chapter and it brought a nice close to things.

Okay, some of these pairings came out of nowhere. Ino and Sai okay, she said he was cute once. Choji and Karui? What, did they ever even meet? Naruto and Hinata is expected considering how heavy Kishi went on their pairing in part 2 but if you are ST, you complain that those two never had any interaction. I know plenty of people in chat were going crazy seeing those two finally together. But I am putting my foot down at Sakura and Sasuke. As I said previously, he has dismissed her his entire life. For 698 chapters, he has hated her and she has loved him, suddenly on the final two chapters they fall in love? Bullshit. Other than that, its everything you would expect. Naruto is hokage and bla bla bla, yeah. I did like the OP reference at the end. Its nice to see Kishi and Oda paying ode to each other in their chapters this week. A solid end to the series. Not fantastic in any way, but good.

One Piece
Nice Naruto reference on the cover. I honestly just didn't care for this chapter. Cora made me laugh by shoving the fruit down Law's throat and it was sad to see him all shot up but other than that, my lack of interest in OP probably kept me from enjoying the chapter. I didn't find anything particularly good about the chapter and even Vergo ruining Cora's plans just made me go eh. I'm not saying it was a bad chapter, just a kind of forgettable one that didn't really accomplish much.

Toriko
I have mixed feelings on this chapter. On one hand it was cool seeing the four kings powered up and in action, but at the same time, iirc, this is the highest capture level to date and they made this thing look like a chump. I would have liked to see what a master could really do but this guy fell so quick it disappointed me. Saying that though, seeing everyone's new defensive and offensive abilities was really cool. Satan hair is amazing now. Fork armor looks dumb but its Toriko so its okay. What I really liked though was Coco's poison at the end, a poison that doesn't kill but causes addiction. The chapter ended well though with the monkey king not even caring that a master was defeated. I suppose it was a good chapter, I just would have wanted to see the true power of a master.

*Due to time constraints, I will be adding Magi and the two chapters of Adventure of Sinbad tomorrow. Stay tuned*

Thats all for this time. As always, comments are very welcome, so comment away.
