Gurren Lagann- The Consequences of “Fighting the Power”

Posted on May 21, 2017January 4, 2018 by Joshua Klafter

At its core, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is a show about maturing as an individual and rebelling against oppression. Despite the equal importance and narrative intertwinement of these themes, today I will be focusing on the latter. More specifically, I will be looking at how, without the second half of the series, Gurren Lagann would…

Alien: Covenant—Film Review

Posted on May 21, 2017January 10, 2020 by Joshua Klafter

Alien: Covenant serves as both the sequel to Prometheus and the second prequel to Alien. I consider myself to be somewhat of a fan of the Alien franchise, having really enjoyed the original, but not yet got around to watching Aliens. My opinions on Prometheus, however, can be best described with one point: I can’t…

One Piece: Chapter 865- Review

Posted on May 19, 2017April 22, 2018 by Joshua Klafter

I want to start off by immediately addressing the elephant in the room. I apologize for the unannounced hiatus. I did not intend to cease posting for nearly a month. In the weeks since I arrived back in South Florida for the summer, I have been focusing my time and creative energy on both my…

One Piece: Chapter 863- Review

Posted on April 26, 2017April 22, 2018 by Joshua Klafter

Chapter 863 was, without a doubt, my hands down favorite chapter of the Whole Cake Island arc thus far. Every single setup is coming together for a massive cluster of a punchline. All of the plot threads established throughout the arc are cleverly oozing together into one big mess. Regardless of the sloppy nature of these…

The Rebuild of Quidditch at UF

Posted on April 11, 2017January 4, 2018 by Joshua Klafter

As the remnants of an Epilepsy Walk cleared out, Flavet Field became an empty plane of grass and dirt. Dust clouds flurried, rustling the browning vegetation. The field would have remained empty, if it weren’t for the singular white van parked towards its center. Gainesville resident Hao Wang emerged from the vehicle, carrying a cubical…

Attack on Titan and the Avatar Effect

Posted on April 5, 2017January 8, 2019 by Joshua Klafter

Note: At the time of writing this analysis, I have not yet watched the premiere of season 2. The second season of Attack on Titan is finally upon us. Although there are plenty of diehard fans donning their scout regiment hoodies and celebrating, the common consensus is a pungent apathy. A second season that would…

One Piece: Chapter 860 & 861- Review

Posted on April 2, 2017April 22, 2018 by Joshua Klafter

I apologize for the delay of both chapter reviews. I have been extremely busy with academia, and have had almost no time to write anything that isn’t for a class or professional obligation. I pounced on the small capsule of leisure time I was able to obtain in order to provide you with a double…

One Piece: Chapter 859- Review

Posted on March 17, 2017April 22, 2018 by Joshua Klafter

Chapter 859 followed one of the two routes I anticipated in my previous review. In many ways, I felt as if I was reading an extension to last week’s chapter as opposed to an entirely new chunk of the story. I can’t complain, that’s just a given issue of long-form storytelling through the medium of…

One Piece: Chapter 858- Review

Posted on March 15, 2017April 22, 2018 by Joshua Klafter

Chapter 858 was one of the most satisfying chapters of the Whole Cake Island arc thus far. Continuing with 857’s trend of explaining lasting mysteries, this chapter is one filled to the brim with immense payoff. To start, a hearty chunk, or potentially all, of the New Fishman Pirates are confirmed to be hiding out…
