Shonen anime and manga in general get most of the things right in the eyes of fans. Story, action, animation/art style, dialogues, characters, and the hook. But where they might go wrong is the conclusion of the story and the series’ portrayal of its female characters. In the case of Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto got most of his things right. But even he admitted that he isn’t very good with female characters.

On the other hand, One Piece gets everything right, including the portrayal of its female characters. It got people like Nami, Nico Robin, Boa Hancock, Big Mom, and even minor characters like Princess Vivi backing Eiichiro Oda up. Sure, he’s accused of being sexist by objectifying women in the show and drawing them in ways that’s not entirely PG-13. But that claim isn’t limited to him now that...

As Dr. Vegapunk is sharing the secrets of the Void Century and the Ancient Kingdom with the One Piece world. He has put an allegation on the former Pirate King Gol D. Roger and his crew, the Roger Pirates. According to Dr. Vegapunk, the Roger Pirates knew everything about the mysterious history of the world but still chose to stay silent about all this.

These allegations also raise the question: if the world is sinking and the World Government has one of the ancient weapons in possession, why were Roger and his crew laughing when they read the final message on Laugh Tale? Not only that, the former Pirate King’s desire to meet Joy Boy also remains questionable.

According to the One Piece theory, Roger’s laugh was not in relation to the events of the past but for what is destined...

Now that the Summer blockbuster season has settled down and most of the tent pole films for the year have been put to bed, it’s time for the sleeper hits of 2009 to shine. The Fall is a pretty big time for films like District 9, Gamer, and of course Where the Wild Things Are to take over the box office in a substantial way.

The first trailer for Where the Wild Things Are hit a few months back, and didn’t show us very much. Still, we knew that director Spike Jonze, who was the mastermind behind this stroke of genius, would do the children’s book classic. We now get a new trailer filled with plenty of footage of the titular “wild things” and surprisingly lots of James Gandolfini.
