There used to be a day when I would think to myself, “I wish Masashi Kishimoto would keep writing Naruto forever”, and it was only natural for any Naruto fan to wish for that because the story was that good. These days, my interest has wavered. Perhaps because the storyline is no longer as gripping as it used to be, or perhaps its because my life is that little more busy than it used to be.

This manga is an encompassing manga that strikes the world of culinary advancements and well-certified hunters searching for the most inherent ingredients — which can be found irregularly depending on the environment/setting — to finalize, and validate their full course menu.
One aspect that seems like it has some sort of a negative/boring connotation is the culinary part, people mistakenly assume that just because it involves a topic that doesn’t necessarily seem as vivacious and invigorating will have a huge impact in regards to their picks, however, I can state with great delight; that isn’t the case, at all.
Believe it or not, the innovative additions of food and beverages will actually stupefy you – and that isn’t meant in a bad way either, the mangaka’s creations and variations regarding food and beverages will keep you salivating till tomorrow and still keep you blissfully interested in Toriko’s world/universe.

Casshern Sins – Not a very well known anime, and not really appealing at first. However, I highly recommend this anime to all fans. It’s hard to put Casshern Sins into any type of category, it’s a sad story with action but it also has a mildly “slow” pace and simple plot with very few twists. Don’t let this fool you though, it’s an amazing anime with absolutely beautiful art work.
The story centers around someone called “Casshern”. Who has no memory of who he is, or even what he is. In a world filled with robots and very few humans left alive, Casshern Sins focuses on the struggles that these robots go through, as they slowly rust away and die. Some clambering together in hopes of not dying alone, and others going out of their minds, turning to violence and cannibalism. Casshern Sins only gets deeper and more interesting with each episode. Casshern slowly piecing back his memory while trying to figure out why he is wanted dead/hated so much. It’s hard to go into great detail without spoiling the storyline – The sound track is also very emotional and fits the anime almost perfectly.
The fight scenes are incredible in Casshern Sins, from the frame rate to the artwork, everything fits together nicely and really, when Casshern fights, this anime kicks ass. But fighting isn’t all this anime has, it also has moments where you’ll feel for the characters in Cassern Sins. The emotion is portrayed well, whether it be anger, loss, confusion or sorrow, and the soundtrack only helps with conveying the emotion.
All in all, I give this anime a 9/10 rating. And highly recommend it to any of you who have even been slightly intrigued by what I’ve said. Please give it a watch – I can almost guarantee that you won’t be disappointed.
