Too Much Awesome

You just can’t keep a good plothole down, can you? I still love Dragon Ball Z, no matter how much I complain and how much I moan about it, but I’m compelled to continually find problems with the story, the characters, and the progression of the series. I consider a plothole anything that isn’t readily [...]

Today, we at Toy-TMA bid farewell to the fond memories of 2011 and look forward to a whole new year on the horizon. 2012, Year of Democratic elections, Disaster predictions, and the Dragon (gotta love the dragon). Will the year be dramatically dangerous, or disappointingly dismal? I don’t know. But in the mean time, it [...]

We here at Toy-TMA talk up a Pokemon storm (or at least Chris does). While I will always have a soft spot for the series myself, I couldn’t help but feel there was another anime from my childhood that took the kids-befriending-and-battling-with-monsters motif and gave it some actual depth. I hate beating around the bush [...]

Welcome back everyone. Last week, I began an overview for each of One Piece’s title characters, the Straw Hat Pirates, giving my two cents on their Post 2 Year Time Skip makeovers. So far, I have managed to cover Brook, Sanji, Nami, Usopp, and Chopper. This leaves only four left, and now that the new [...]

As the devastating affects of a Great War between the World Government, the Shichibukai, and the Whitebeard Pirates comes to a bitter end, Straw Hat Captain Monkey D. Luffy realizes that he and his crew are not yet ready to face the enemies that will be waiting for them in the second half of the [...]

Two weeks ago, I set sail on a voyage to find the perfect flesh and blood actors who would be suitable to play live action adaptations of One Piece‘s central protagonists, the Straw Hat Pirates. As fun as it was, it was also quite a daunting task. So much so that I was yet to [...]

A great and wonderful thing has just recently happened. I took a risk and made an attempt to get my wife to watch an anime with me. Normally, this would not work, as I’ve attempted it with Dragonball Z in the past, but to no effect. However this time I found great favor in some [...]

So this was me last September: “Ugh… I cannot believe I let my friend goad me into watching a 400+ episode anime series. What does he expect me to do? Not have a life? At the very least, this will kill time before the new Avatar series comes out next year. Alright let’s get this [...]

Before I begin today’s Triple A, I feel it is only right that I give my regards to Japan and all the people struggling in the wake of the earthquake/ tsunami disaster. It is devastating to see so many people’s lives uprooted by something so natural and out of our control. I do not wish [...]

You remember that part in Book 2 Episode 5 when that foaming mouth guy on Kyoshi Island had this completely over-the-top freak out when he thought the Avatar returned to the island? Well, I have no shame in saying that is pretty much the exact portrayal of the sheer joy that struck me during last [...]
