Wallpaper Batch 2024 - March 2025

Hi everyone,

Ajay here, the wallpaper guy!

I want to sincerely apologise for not delivering the wallpapers that were promised as part of your Patreon membership over the past year. That's not okay and I'm sorry for letting it go unaddressed for so long.

The issue came down to the scope of the offer — I initially thought it would be simple, but adapting each wallpaper for multiple formats (16:9 4K desktop and mobile, all with different colour schemes) ended up being more t...

JUJUTSU KAISEN - A Blind Review (Part 2)

Jujutsu Kaisen has been so much better than I thought it would be. In this review I explain (using examples) that Jujutsu Kaisen is not just a fun supernatural anime, but a sincerely impressive Battle Shounen that adheres to and builds upon the fundamental principles that makes this genre so exciting to so many!

This week I'm covering the back half of season 1 and the Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event! Within which I am introduced to one half of the greatest bromance ever put to paper...

I Drew My Own Dragon Ball Manga

Last year I decided to produce my own Dragon Ball manga chapter. All in an effort to fix what has been the single most annoying plot hole in Dragon Ball's anime. Trunks' Spirit Bomb Sword!

Join me and my team as we embark on this exhausting journey and gain a deeper appreciation for the work of the late great Akira Toriyama.

Rewriting Dragon Ball Super: Tournament of Power

Rewriting the Tournament of Power within Dragon Ball Super gave the Goku Black arc a run for its money in terms of difficulty. There are so many moving pieces and then it dawned on me. It's not the transformations to Super Saiyan God or the complicated plots. It's the fact that the bones of the story and the elements within this series are largely okay and so radical changes are less pervasive. Which means instead of figuring out my own story I have to retain the structure of the existing pi...

Rewriting Dragon Ball Super: The Universe Survival Arc

This rewrite of Dragon Ball Super has proved to be far more challenging and time consuming than first anticipated. After having attempted to scale The Goku Black mountain last week, pleased that I emerged with my sanity partially intact, I began working on what I thought would be a demonstrably less demanding affair. I was wrong. Again.

I soon discovered that if the changes I had made earlier during Battle of Gods and Resurrection F were to bear any fruit, then the Universe Survival arc...

Rewriting Dragon Ball Super

Over the years I've been both appreciative and critical of Dragon Ball Super. Having covered the entire series in review form, a little while ago I decided to try my hand at rewriting my arch nemesis: Dragon Ball GT. And it actually turned out better than I thought it would.

Rewriting stories is fun but it is far from where I am the most comfortable. There's an enormous difference between writing a story and reviewing one and I I was hit hard by the reality this week in what it my firs...

Every RETCON in Dragon Ball

Retcons! From Dragon Ball to Dragon Ball Z. From Dragon Ball Super to Dragon Daima. It seems that over its lifespan Dragon Ball has gained a reputation as a show filled with retons. But is that a bad thing?

Are retcons really that bad and is it possible that some can in fact be good? This week I sat down to tried to find every single retcon I could in the name of answering these questions! This week we are covering the manga from 1984 through to 1996.
