Review: My Hero Academia, Vol. 4

My Hero Academia, Vol. 4 My Hero Academia, Vol. 4 by Kohei Horikoshi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I feel like I've never wanted the next book in a series as badly as I want Volume 5 of My Hero Academia.

This was some good shit, boys. Just like this series always is. I know it's already pretty fast that they come out every few months, but I feel like it could be even faster. Like does it really take that long to translate and touch-up and all that? I kind of feel like I'm talking like an ungrateful brat right now, so I'll stop.

This whole volume (which consists of chapters 27-35) still just covers the Sport Festival arc, and it's still going strong by the end of chapter 35. It also ends on a mighty cliffhanger, so thank you very much to whoever decided to end the volume there. This arc is pretty good, we get to see the millions of characters in action which is pretty cool. I love Aizawa Sensei, just gonna casually drop that here. We don't see him in action during this volume (that was the last arc) but he's one of the commentators to the festival. I feel like watching him in the anime and reliving him from the earlier chapters is what has got me so keen on him now.

I started reading this late at night on the Sunday that episode nine of the anime aired. That's the episode where it's the start of their third training, Rescue Training. Would that be the Rescue Training arc then? Or something else to do with villains, since that's the first time they fight villains. Who knows, either way that's where the anime is as of the writing of this review. The fifth episode aired a couple days before this volume was released, so I was a little behind on picking this up.

I want the next volume now please, thanks. And no I will not read any fan-translations online. I want to support this amazing series with my money, and you should too! Wheee!

Review: The Art of the Adventures of Tintin

The Art of the Adventures of Tintin by Chris Guise My rating: 5 of 5 stars The Art of The Adventures of Tintin was even better than I could have ever dreamed. This is my first "Art of" book, and I kind of knew what I was getting into but I was still surprised. I didn't even mean to start reading this when I started reading this. We were given an assignment in art class to design a poster for the school play and I really had no ideas. I remembered that these "Art of" books are full of concept art so I decided to flip through this one. Well, next thing I knew I wasn't just flipping through it, I was completely engrossed in it. I flipped to the first page and started properly reading it. This book was a good reading experience. Right off the bat Chris Guise lets the reader know that he's not going to bombard you with text, that he's gonna let the art do most of the talking and he's going to make the best "Ar...

Review: Bitter Witness: Otto Dix and the Great War

Bitter Witness: Otto Dix and the Great War by Linda F. McGreevy My rating: 0 of 5 stars This is a very unique and interesting academic text. There are no other examinations of the German artist Otto Dix, his war experience, and his war-related art that are quite as in-depth as this one, while also covering a wide range of different aspects and angles of not only the artist's story, but also the Great War's. I used this as a source for a University research essay I wrote on the effects of Dix's war experience on the creation and effects of his painting Skat Players (1920). I was very late in starting my research so I unfortunately had to stick to only reading the information I could use for my own examination, rather than being able to devour this book in its entirety. However, the library requires this book be returned at the end of January of next year, so I have some time now to actually finish this book since the semester has finished...

Review: Spells & Sleeping Bags

Spells & Sleeping Bags by Sarah Mlynowski My rating: 3 of 5 stars This book was infuriating. Miri was super annoying during book 2, but she started this book off with some funny burns toward Rachel which made me think maybe she would be better in this book. Ha. No. She wasn’t. Miri. Oh Miri Miri Miri. So dumb. And it was annoying how it seemed like she didn’t even learn anything from the last book. She’s still all about saving the world and whatnot and being a dumbass. And she talked about poofing up money to help her help people, which is extremely illogical because she knows that poofing up money means she’s stealing money from somewhere else. Way to “help” out the world you fucking idiot. For the majority of this book I reckon she was under some kind of “emotion amplifying” spell but honestly that’s no excuse since she’s still her dumbass self. (view spoiler) [Her figuring out that Fake Rachel wasn’t real Rachel was nice and all but felt a bit...
