A whole term of trash is in the books, which can only mean it's time for the Trashtacular Forunament Arc! Of the 24 series we've covered this year, which series will be crowned Not Actually Trash? I mean, One Piece, obviously, it's the GOAT. And on the flipside, which will be the Trashest Manga, Friends? From Fairy Tail to I, Superhero and Magical Girl, lets relive (or should that be ReLife) another year of nightmares!

One of the all-time best mangaka is our focus this time, as we read Sand Land by Akira Toriyama, to celebrate the game coming out tomorrow, and the legacy left behind by one of the greatest to ever do it. Was this short shounen a fitting way to remember him, or a barren desert wasteland amongst his other iconic creations?

We're going down, down, deeper and down, into the underground to cover 90s shounen manga Tokyo Underground and another piece of Mike's childhood? Was this oldie with wind, gravity and healing powers being flung around a forgotten classic, or just plain forgettable?

Another April Fools special is upon us, and on Mike's repeated, insistent request, we're looking towards live action adaptations, as we review the infamous Death Note adaptation. No, not the Japanese films. Or the Korean TV series. No no, we're watching Netflix's adaptation. And with Willem Dafoe in the mix, this has to be the best one of all! Right?

The spring anime season is here, with sequels galore. But why would we cover any of that drek, when we could talk about something much more... fabled. The Fable, in fact. A little action, a little comedy, a little drama, a whole lotta slice of life, but surely a slife about a hitman must be enough plot for our Mike?
