Steam Deck May Broaden the PC Gaming Community

STORIES THAT ENCHANT THE MIND

Steam Deck May Broaden the PC Gaming Community

Steam Deck

Valve’s new handheld

The announcement of Valve’s upcoming portable gaming device, the Steam Deck, has made an explosive impression on gamers.

The magnitude of the bombshell Gabe Newell and his company dropped on us has left us all reeling, thirsty to get our hands on it. It’s easy to see why.

A portable device that aims to play every game in our Steam libraries is one of the most significant value propositions in video game history. And the gravity force of the massive black hole it will leave behind will suck more people into PC gaming.

For the longest time, playing games on a PC was viewed as a space for the hardcore, spec-hungry crowd. The Steam Deck will finally show that there’s room for casual gamers as well.

Simpler Game Settings

One of the most intimidating and/or frustrating aspects of PC gaming is adjusting settings. Whether you’re trying to get the best possible performance, the crispest visuals, or a balance between the two, it’s not a fun experience for the average gamer. I should know.

I’ve built gaming PCs, and even I find fiddling with settings tedious. The Steam Deck opens up possibilities to change that.

What drives most average gamers to consoles is their ease of use.

If Valve’s portable succeeds, devs will need to make it easy for users to get the correct settings without hassle. They can achieve this through profiles and recommendations that are easy for non-hardcore PC folk to understand while giving them the best possible experience for their hardware.

Game Quote:

Javik, Mass Effect 3

Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead souls, and ask the ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer.”

Low Spec Legitimacy

The unsung heroes of PC gaming are the Low Spec Warriors, people with machines that run Steam games at medium to low settings. The Steam Deck can be the catalyst towards recognizing that these gamers are the primary sales drivers of PC titles.

The result could be games that are designed and developed to be playable on less powerful machines. Companies like Blizzard have been targeting our low-spec friends for a long time. Big games like Fortnite run respectfully well on borderline toasters.

A revolution that legitimizes their value can finally open up the world of PCs to more gamers and maybe even encourage them to dive into the deep end.

Steam Deck vs Nintendo Switch

Since its inception, the portable console market has been dominated by Nintendo. Despite the best efforts of Sony and Sega, the Big N’s stranglehold on the market has yet to be loosened. The Steam Deck could very well change that. With Nintendo constantly keeping itself out of the spec race, there’s an opportunity for Valve’s device to inspire other companies to make more powerful portables, opening up the floodgates to a yet-to-be-discovered audience.

The Steam Deck is as exciting a device as it gets at the moment. It can potentially change the way we see PC gaming by making it less about specs and more about how and when you can enjoy your games library.

Top 10 Anime For Beginners 2021

Top Best Anime To Start With

Great Starter Anime

Are you new to anime and have no idea where to begin?

If that’s the case, you’ve come to the right place by checking out the Top 10 Anime for beginners 2021.

Anime has recently grown in popularity worldwide as more anime episodes are made available through various popular video streaming platforms such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and others. As a newbie, it’s difficult to know where to start with literally hundreds of different series to pick from and practically every genre available, from Rom-com to action, school dramas, and even sports.

I’ve been watching anime for over 15 years and consider myself a bit of an expert on the subject. Allow me to serve as your guide in ranking the ideal anime for you as a newbie.

This list will include fan-favorite anime that are only a season or two long, allowing new viewers to stay up with the story without having to watch over 100+ episodes.

The majority of popular anime appears to be incredibly long, with over 200+ episodes, which can be a turnoff for newbies.

Keep in mind that this list is not in any specific order.

Also, this isn’t a list of the greatest anime ever produced. It’s a list of good anime that don’t need an introduction and are good places to start for new anime viewers. Hopefully, you’ll find something to your liking on this list. Enjoy!

10.

Vinland saga

I just recently watched this anime and loved it! A fantastic piece! The Vinland Saga is a historical animation with a dash of adventure and action, taking us way back to 1013 AD England, under the reign of the Danish invaders known as Vikings.

This anime also shows historical events from England’s history, making it informative while remaining entertaining. With only 24 episodes, you’ll be completely engrossed in the rich plot and adventure. This is an anime worth watching for a newbie.

Not too long, not too complicated. Fans are eagerly anticipating Season 2, as there is still more to discover. Check out this anime and join the crew of the ship sailing to Vinland ;).

Mangaka Quote:

Sword Art Online

Sword art online, abbreviated and popularly known as SAO, is a New Generation isekai (another world) series packed with action, adventure, a smidgeon of romance, and an incredible plot.

Fast forward to 2022, when advanced VR online gaming became a thing, and players could leave the physical world and enter a virtual one to play games. Isn’t that cool?!

The game SAO was created, and thousands of gamers, including the protagonist (Kirito), logged on but were unable to log out. Hence trapped and won’t be released until after clearing all 100 stages of the game; death in the game also means death in the real world. SICK right?! You should check it out to see how it ends out.

8.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

One of the most well-known New Generation Shonen series, winning the anime of the year award in 2019. A creation of Ufotable studio (best known for their high-budget animation).

Packed with amazing battle scenes, demons, superpowers, adventure, and martial arts. Demon slayers, as the name suggests, are a group of samurai who hunt and kill demons.

The tale revolves around a kind-hearted teen Tanjiro Kamado, who sets out to become a demon slayer after his family was slaughtered and his younger sister Nezuko was turned into a demon. Traveling around in search of a cure to revert his sister back into human.

After completing the series, you should watch the sequel, Demon Slayer: Mugen Train. This is a must-see! Let’s take a look at some other genres since we’ve been talking about action for a while.

7.

Kuroko no Basket

You probably already know what this anime is about based on the title. “But what if I’m not a sports fan or a basketball fan?” you might wonder. Perhaps you’re thinking. Well, I wasn’t myself, and I found myself appreciating basketball as a result of this anime depiction of the sport. I even went through the effort of learning how to ball 😉

I’m sure you’ll feel the same way. One of the shows that is pushing the sport genre in new directions. With characters that had exceptional skills, the show became a lot more interesting.

You’ll definitely appreciate this series as it’s gripping and full of suspense, with each episode ending on a cliffhanger. After completing the series, you should check out the sequel, Kuroko no basket; The last game. A must see!

Toradora

YA lovely high school series about a delinquent-looking but extremely nice guy (Takasu Ryuji) and a wild tsundere (Aisaka Taiga) who resolve to help each other with their crushes. Obviously, things didn’t go as planned.

A rom-com series filled with heartwarming and funny scenes. Loved every bit of the series.

Half way down the Top 10 Anime for beginners 2021 list!

4.

Assassination classroom

Writing about this anime brings back a lot of memories! KORO SENSEI! BITCH SENSEI!

At first, I thought the plot funny, as I couldn’t understand why a powerful alien-like being would volunteer to teach a particular class while also training the pupils to assassinate him to save the Earth.

There would undoubtedly be a backstory to it, and they did not disappoint me as it later turned out to be an incredible story. This anime is unquestionably an excellent series for newbies, packed with funny scenes, teamwork, and, of course, assassinations.

Also, the final episodes were emotional. A must-see series.

Haikyuu!

This list includes yet another sports anime. Haikyuu is a volleyball-based series, unlike Kuroko no Basket The characters are realistic and quite relatable as you see their development as the series progresses.

The top two shows in the sports category, Haikyuu, and Kuroko Basket have sparked a lot of debate in the community.

Which is better? we addressed this question in one of our articles: HAIKYUU vs KNB!

2.

A MAPPA studio production packed with battle scenes, extraordinary powers, and a fantastic plot.

1.

Full-Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood

FMAB is my all-time favorite anime, I feel it is underrated as it does not receive the recognition it deserves. You can never go wrong with FMAB if you’re new to anime.

Following the story of the Elric brothers, Edward and Alphonse set out on a mission to retrieve their bodies after an attempt to resurrect their deceased mother went wrong, leaving them in a physically damaged state.

While hunting for answers, they begin to unravel hidden mysteries, which adds to the intrigue of the plot. This anime is packed with action, suspense, and interesting characters. FMAB is a wonderful choice if you appreciate sci-fi, adventure, historical fiction, and a splash of magic.

This listing only scratches the surface, but it will offer you a taste of different story ideas and animation styles to get you started.

I wasn’t a huge fan of anime from the start, and I was one of those naysayers if you know what I mean. Then I decided to give anime a go, and boy! I’ve become a full-fledged fan, just like everyone else. I grew up watching anime and have always enjoyed writing; I honed my skills by writing about anime as it comes naturally to me. My all-time favorite anime is FMAB.

4 Underutilized Gaming and Card Genres on Twitch

STORIES THAT ENCHANT THE MIND

4 Underutilized Gaming and Card Genres on Twitch

Best Games to Stream on twitch for new Streamers 2021

Start Streaming on Twitch

With an astounding 9.3 million people streaming on Twitch in April and millions watching every day, the appeal of starting a Twitch channel is undeniable. I mean, who wouldn’t want to make a living playing video games or just doing what they love, right? But we’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: finding success as a Twitch streamer is hard. There are literally millions of people trying to make it, and most advice for aspiring streamers just doesn’t work.

What does work? Finding your unique selling point (USP) in a sea of millions of creators and carving out a niche for yourself. Creating content that people will look forward to watching. And providing great interactions with your community to keep them coming back to watch your streams.

Luckily, there are some genres that aren’t overly saturated and present plenty of opportunities for the aspiring content creator. If you’re interested in any of these genres, then you’re in luck:

Chess

Chess is one of those few games that have managed to make a seamless transition to the virtual world. The release of Netflix’s The Queen’s Gambit has helped increase interest in the game too, and more and more people are looking to learn how to play chess.

Chess is a game that lends itself well to being livestreamed: there are popular platforms like Chess.com and Chess24, which let you play chess with people around the world through your web browser, and you can take your stream through your process of deciding what moves to make, as well as take their comments and suggestions.

Viewers love it when a streamer takes their comments to heart, and they’ll love it even more if they get to watch your journey as you rise through the ranks. Popular chess players like Hikaru Nakamura have also taken to teaching other streamers how to play chess on Twitch, so both experienced and rookie chess players have a chance of making it on Twitch.

Author Quote:

Mark Twain

The secret to getting ahead is getting started.”

Poker

There are over 2 million people following the poker category on Twitch, and there’s a great mix of big brands broadcasting live games and players streaming video poker games.

Poker is one of those games that exploded when mobile apps and online gaming became more accessible, and you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t at least know what poker is. However, people on Twitch don’t just want to watch players win games: they also want to hear commentary and get their questions answered.

A great poker Twitch channel should be able to teach viewers how to become great at poker, from how to limit your range and stay patient to how to network with other players and find others to play with. Don’t be afraid to lose, either – viewers like relatable streamers, and the occasional defeat can not only endear you to them, but also keep your ego in check.

Board Games

Board games saw a rapid rise in popularity even before the pandemic hit, and there are plenty of YouTube channels out there reviewing how board games are played and going through the rules.

What’s missing, however, are videos of these games actually being played. I guess watching a 16-hour recording of random people playing Monopoly isn’t the most exciting way to spend your weekend, but how about actually being there in the moment and experiencing the highs and lows with the players?

There’s plenty of opportunity for interacting with your stream when you play board games – both online variants and classic tabletop games – and viewers will enjoy joining you on your journey to understanding and mastering a new board game’s rules.

Tarot Readings

Virtual tarot readings have become all the rage in recent months, with many people advertising their services on Instagram and other social media sites. On Twitch, however, there are only a handful of tarot readers offering live readings to viewers.

This is a genre that you’re sure to find success in if you don’t take yourself too seriously and have fun with your chat. You could even make your channel a mix of livestreaming and tarot readings, so people can see how your cards unfold – both in-stream and in real life!

Success as a streamer can be pretty hard to attain, and one important thing to remember is that you’ll never have overnight success – no matter what genre you’re getting into.

Most successful streamers have been at it for years, and it takes even longer to finally see those views start trickling in. That’s why it’s important to stream something you actually like doing.

I was skeptical of Twitch in the beginning, and even thought many of them were cringe-worthy. I finally gave in when my favorite YouTubers started Twitch channels, and I’ve been exploring new streamers ever since! These days, I’m exploring VTubers and getting really into the Holo Live scene, especially the comedic ones like Vulo the Face Borrower.

Haikyu VS Kuroko’s Basket

STORIES THAT ENCHANT THE MIND

Haikyu VS Kuroko’s Basket

The Top Sports Anime

Haikyu anime and Kuroko’s Basket which is better?

Haikyu VS Kuroko’s Basket is going to be a tough one to decide. These are two of the most popular and well-known sports anime of the last decade, have risen to the forefront of the genre, pushing it ahead in new and exciting ways.

So similar, yet so different. Both are based on manga that initially published in Weekly Shounen Jump, the world’s most famous manga magazine, and were animated by the same studio; production I.G. Both appearing on multiple best-of lists and garnering high scores on aggregation websites.’

“But what if I’m not a fan of either of the sports?” you might be wondering if you haven’t seen any of these shows. Well, I wasn’t myself, and as a result of these anime’s comprehensive portrayals of how amazing each sport is in its own way, I’ve grown a liking for both basketball and volleyball.

Before we begin, let me state that this is simply based on my opinion, and both of these series are fantastic in their own right, deserving of their current popularity and fanbase. I feel that, as with any question of taste, a viewer’s decision to interact with any of these shows will be influenced by their personal preferences in entertainment. So, let’s get right into it!

The Best Shounen Anime

Narrative

Both anime are about sport, centering their story around being a newly established high school team as they grow stronger while they face increasingly difficult opponents. with Haikyu!! focusing on volleyball and Kuroko no Basuke focusing on basketball. Both feature a team of two main characters (Hinata and Kageyama/ Kuroko and Kagami) who work together to become even more powerful.

They both share same sports anime clichés such as an almost entirely male cast (with the exception of a female manager or coach) and overpowered main protagonists. Haikyu’s production focuses on the main cast’s vulnerabilities and how they learn to overcome them, whereas KNB is focused on the antagonists’ (Generation of the miracle) overpowering strength and how the main cast learns to overcome it.

The majority of Haikyu’s time is focused on the Karasuno team’s skill development. KNB on the other hand emphasizes on the Generation of Miracles from the start, with an opening monologue depicting them as rivals from the protagonist’s (Kuroko) past, with the only purpose of conquering them in the end.

Author Quote:

Oikawa Tooru

“Talent is something you bloom, Instinct is something you polish”

-Haikyū

Realism:

Haikyuu is a slice-of-life sports anime with characters who have remarkable mobility, skill, and potential but no unusual super abilities. They’re depicted in a realistic way that’s easy to relate to. They make errors, laugh about, and practice hard, and as the story unfolds, you’ll witness how they evolve.

Haikyu characters are presented as relatively actual high schoolers who LOOK like ordinary high students playing on a reasonably ordinary high school level. Everyone in KNB looked like they should be in college! packed with basketball prodigies reputed to be so talented that if they went pro, they could revolutionize the game forever.

On the other hand, KNB is a fantasy with characters with special abilities ranging from Kise (Perfect copy) to Akashi (Emperor Eye) to Kuroko (Absolute Passing Skills), and then there’s the ZONE! However, the series’ intense antics, are exactly what most viewers want to see.

This point goes to Haikyuu as its More realistic and Relatable.

Intensity:

SEIRIN FIGHT! SEIRIN FIGHT! DEFENSE! DEFENSE! Those are the chants from KNB; this series is so filled with thrilling energy that viewers begin to cheer for the main team (speaking from personal experience).

Haikyu, on the other hand, is more on the calm and humorous side of things. The comic jabs were frequent, effective, and provided light relief in tense circumstances. However, it’s no match for KNB as most viewers, including myself, are suckers for action and exciting shows. On that note, this point goes to KNB.

Art style/ Visuals:

The art style of KNB is a lot cooler. The art style is vastly different from Haikyu’s. All of the characters in KNB have broad shoulders, massive, well-defined muscles, and are exceedingly handsome, with the exception of Kuroko, who appears to be little. A number of them look like grown men, and they’re all supposed to be able to cut an intimidating figure on the court, which I find cool.

The characters of Haikyu, on the other hand, are slim, pointed, and sleek. When compared to the grownups in the series, they appear to be a bunch of kids. The visuals of Haikyu are significantly superior to that of the KNB, as they are significantly more vibrant and colorful. Since we all know KNB is a little dated, it’s a no-brainer. This point winds down with a tie which is going to make the Haikyu VS Kuroko’s Basket even harder to pick from.

Protagonist:

Kuroko is a complex character, but Hinata, however is quite interesting. When comparing Hinata with Kuroko, it’s clear that Hinata has a much more appealing and well-developed personality. Kuroko is far too straightforward and cold as the story’ protagonist due to his role as a shadow of the team. On the other hand, Hinata is the ideal protagonist who is usually in a positive mood and can easily switch once it’s game time. On that note, this point goes to Haikyu.

That’s all for now folks! That’s my take on both series for the Haikyu VS Kuroko’s Basket look through; kindly share your thoughts in the comments area. What team do you root for? Kindly let us know in the comments section in our social media.

Black Clover: Magic Knight Captain Ranked

STORIES THAT ENCHANT THE MIND

Magic Knight Captain Ranked

Black Clover

Top Ten Magic Knight Captains

Black Clover: Magic Knight Captain Ranked is going to be a unique venture. Black Clover, a new generation Shonen anime directed by Tatsuya Yoshihara is a typical shonen anime with magic, demons, swords, strong characters, fighting, and all the good stuff. Similar to Naruto, Bleach, and the likes.

Yuno and Asta, two orphans who were abandoned in a chapel on the outskirts of the Clover Kingdom, are at the center of the story. In a world where magic is everything, Asta was born without any, whereas Yuno was born with incredible magical abilities and the ability to control them.

The Clover Kingdom has several enemies, and they must protect themselves not just against foes from other nations, but also from terrorists from the Eye of the Midnight Sun (Byakuya no Magan). Fortunately for them, they have their Magic Knight squadrons to aid them.

The Order of the Magic Knight is a corps of chosen mages who serve as Magic Knights in the Kingdom’s army. The organization’s noble goal is to protect the Kingdom from all threats..

The Magic Knights are divided into nine (9) squads, each led by a skilled and powerful Magic Knight Captain. Each squad has its unique badge that matches the squad’s name, as well as distinctive robes that differentiate members of different squads.

The question, who among the magic knight captains is the strongest? has sparked a lot of debate in the community. Hence why we’re addressing it. Each of the captains has a unique fighting style that they incorporate with their magical abilities. Making them each all stand out. They’re all loved and respected by the people of Clover kingdom, and their strength and charm have won them lots of fans.

In this post, we’ll be reviewing the Magic Knight Captains from bottom up. Let’s jump right into it!

10.

Kaiser Granvorka (Purple Orca):

Following Gueldre Poizot’s eviction for betraying the kingdom, Kaiser was appointed captain of the Purple Orca squad. He possesses a three-leaf clover grimoire with vortex magic, allowing him to produce magical whirlwinds that dispel other magic.

We don’t know the full scope of his powers as he doesn’t get a lot of screen time in the series. However, as the “Kingdom’s Ultimate Shield,” his defensive skills are formidable. Despite this, he is a captain who is humble, kind, and capable.

Mangaka Quote:

Masashi Kishimoto

“When a man learns to love, he must bear the risk of hatred.”

― Madara

9.

Rill Boismortier (Aqua Deer):

Rill was named captain of Aqua Deer at the age of 19, making him the youngest Magic Knight captain in history, he nevertheless acts childish at times. He uses painting magic alongside a paintbrush and palette to casts his spells.

He can generate and manipulate paint with his magical ability, allowing him to bring his sketches to life and create any element by painting it. He enjoys painting so much that he occasionally forgets about his captain responsibilities. Regardless, he is a capable and skilled captain.

Charlotte is a noblewoman from House Roselei and the captain of the Blue Rose squad, an all-female squad founded on the notion that males are irrelevant (although they all started dating secretly) She places a high value on her duty to the kingdom and is uninterested in social activities. Charlotte appears to be a collected, cold person who is always in control of her emotions.

She is, however, uneasy around the Black Bull’s captain, Yami Sukehiro, as she’s in love with him. She uses briar magic and can create a briar-like whip to utilize with her Magic. Her briars were originally red, but when the Roselei family curse triggered, she lost a bit of her magic and the color changed blue. As a noblewoman, captain, and ex elf host, Charlotte wields a vast quantity of magical power. One of the series strongest female character.

7.

Jack the Ripper (Green Mantis):

Jack the Ripper, captain of the green mantis squad and a former commoner with a twisted persona. He enjoys fighting and is obsessed with severing anything with his magical blades.

Quite powerful, despite his personality. He sticks his tongue out the majority of the time and is also well known for his mischievous laughter in the series.

He uses slash magic, and as he fights, the blades adapt to his opponent’s magic, enhancing his slashing abilities to the point of slicing through both spatial and gravity magic.

Determining the Captains for this Black Clover: Magic Knight Captain Ranked article was a bit tough, but worth diving into.

6.

Dorothy Unsworth (Coral Peacock):

Dorothy is a witch that fled the Witches’ Forest and became the captain of the Coral Peacock Squad. For some reason she tends to sleep a lot, but most of the time is constantly aware of her surroundings regardless of the noise. She’s extremely energetic and adventurous when awake.

She uses dream magic to control anything and everything in her dream world (glamour world), and defeating her is the only way to get out. Aside from that, this spell makes the victims sleepy over time, and if they fall asleep in the world, they will never be able to wake up, thereby trapping them in an endless slumber.

5.

Nozel Silva (Silver Eagles):

Nozel is the captain of the silver eagle squad and also the oldest son of House Silva, one of the Kingdom’s royal families. He is an arrogant man who believes he is superior to everybody else. Despite his disregard for peasants, he prioritizes his responsibilities to the kingdom.

He uses mercury magic similar to his mother’s (Acier Silva) steel magic, where he’s able to create and manipulate mercury at will. Due to his vast and efficient control of mana he’s able to combine both offense and defense by transforming his magic shape at will.

Nozel, who is very dedicated and still growing, is capable of quickly replacing William Vangeance on the list at any point.

4.

William Vangeance (Golden Dawn):

William was a member of the Aqua Deer squad who ascended through the ranks to become the captain of the Golden Dawn. He is said to be the most likely candidate to become the next wizard king as he is very powerful and highly respected. William was born as an illegitimate child to a noble family and was assumed to be cursed because of a scar covering half of his face.

As a result, he was forced to grow up in the Forsaken Realm of the kingdom. He was given a mask by Julius Novachrono (the Wizard King), which he finds tacky but nevertheless wears. William uses arcane stage magic; World Tree magic. His world tree magic is very diverse, allowing him to absorb mana, cast healing and offensive spells.

What are your thoughts on the Black Clover: Magic Knight Captain Ranked so far? Better yet, what Captains would you have considered?

3.

Fuegoleon Vermillion (Crimson Lions):

Fuegoleon Vermillion, House Vermillion’s eldest son. He is also the captain of the Crimson Lions. He was briefly replaced by his older sister, Mereoleona While he was in a coma and later returns to his position after recovering.

Fuegoleon is a noble knight who assesses people based on their true worth, and not their social standing as well as a polite nobleman with excellent leadership capabilities, motivating any soldier on the battlefield while also assuming command in any circumstances and issuing orders as required.

He uses fire magic, exceedingly powerful, and has been compared to Mereleona in terms of strength. His strength has reached unimaginable heights since receiving the fire spirit (Salamander). He’s still developing since he’s up against a lot of rivals in the series.

2.

Mereoleona Vermillion (Acting Crimson Lions):

Mereoleona is house vermilion eldest daughter. She was temporarily elected captain of Crimson Lion when her younger brother (Fuegoleon) was in coma after fighting Patolli the leader of the terrorist group (eye of the midnight sun), she was also appointed captain of Royal Knights squad.

Mereoleona has never been interested in the traditional structure of the kingdom armies. Since leaving home to practice in the woods, roaming the kingdom fighting off wild magical beasts, she has gained physical strength and proficiency in hand-to-hand combat.

Her combat expertise, strength, and ability to use mana skin and mana zone are unequaled proving that she is indeed the “Lioness of the crimson lions”. Mereoleona remains the strongest female character in the series.

1.

Yami Sukehiro (Black Bull):

Yami, our all-time favorite is at the top of the list! A foreigner from Hino nation who got lost and ended up in Clover Kingdom. Yami is noted for being a hot-headed, impulsive, and lazy character that can easily become furious over little concerns and issue death threats at the drop of a hat. He also spends a lot of time in the toilet and doesn’t like anyone disturbing. Nonetheless, he is a capable and well-respected captain.

In his signature style, he says, “Surpass your limits.” “Right now, right here,” he says, displaying a steadfastness that sets him apart from other captains. In light of the issue, Yami devises something new. Hence, surpassing his limits. He also instills it in his squad members, making them motivated and capable in their own right.

Yami is a brilliant swordsman with amazing reflexes due to his usage of ki. He uses arcane stage magic; dark magic that he basically channels with his katana. With his magic, he can attack, defend, strengthen, and constrain. This gives it a lot of versatility.

He can also unleash strong spells like Dimension Slash – Equinox and Death Thrust due to his mastery of mana zone, making him the strongest on the list. The aforementioned captains are all quite capable and excellent in their own right, but here is our ranking.

What are your thoughts on the matter? Do you agree with the list or do you think the captains should be ranked differently? Let us know what you think in the comments area or create your own Black Clover: Magic Knight Captain Ranked list! Thank you for reading.

I wasn’t a huge fan of anime from the start, and I was one of those naysayers if you know what I mean. Then I decided to give anime a go, and boy! I’ve become a full-fledged fan, just like everyone else. I grew up watching anime and have always enjoyed writing; I honed my skills by writing about anime as it comes naturally to me.

Monster Anime Review: The Cost of Being a Savior

STORIES THAT ENCHANT THE MIND

Monster Anime Review: The Cost of Being a Savior

Monster Anime Review

The Best Thriller Manga

This is a Monster anime review with some spoilers, so please be aware prior to reading.

Doctors are often hailed and revered as these ‘angels’ since the advent of time for they’re the ones that give people another shot at life. They fight against disease and sickness, and find resolutions. In a sense, they can even make a patient feel like their symptom was nothing more but a bad dream, one that won’t return.

It’s only natural to feel indebted towards the person who ‘revived’ you in one way or another. Many doctors choose their careers for benevolent reasons, some even live for humanity, making sure they rescue and cure as many people as they can. A few even do it at the cost of their own lives, especially in countries that may not have the best resources or technology.

No discrimination, no privilege, no prejudice, even a serial killer on death’s bed would receive the same treatment and the same attitude. Doctors hold centuries knowledge and in their hands they have a power that comes with a great responsibility.

Now, here’s the question, as a doctor, what if the kid you rescued, the innocence you preserved, the smile you rejuvenated just grew up to be the most dangerous serial killer Europe has ever seen?

Under the constant guilt and remorse of being behind this twisted mind that has people in complete disarray and fear, Kenzo tenma has forsaken everything just to put an end to the tragedy.

He mission, is to face the darkness, the monster he has given birth to in that ER all those years ago and ‘Monster’ tells it in such a elegant manner.

Those serial killings and disturbing themes aren’t enough to push the readers away throughout the entirety of the journey that Monster is, due to the portrayal of their characters.

Anime Quote:

Naoki Urasawa

Doctor Tenma. For you all lives are created equal, that’s why I came back to life. But you’ve finally come to realize it now, haven’t you? Only one thing is equal for all, and that is death.”

“I save lives, I cure people. But most of all, people die in front of my eyes and, I ‘kill’ them”

I doubt anime has ever seen such a brilliant mind that defines Kenzo Tenma himself. With total expertise over the art of surgery at such a young age, he’s quite the prodigy even among his peers who have been in the business longer than he’s been alive on this planet we call Earth.

Perseverance and patience of that level comes only after you’ve seen it all and done it all by your own hands, but there’s another side to the whole ‘savior glory’ since things aren’t always that sweet. There’s always more to everything than what meets the eye.

Hospitals tend to be seen as a ‘sanctuary’, a place where the wounded can be cured, but at the same time, death becomes all the more ‘normal’ for the person behind that cure.

Not to mention the grief and despair from the relatives of the recently deceased can make any medical professional feel like the bad person, especially when blamed for it all.

It can make one question their own skill, knowledge, and competence.

Dr. Kenzo Tenma . . .

“I suffered. They’ll suffer, but they’ll suffer even more.”

Our childhood experiences shape us into the adult we become. If you’ve studied even a bit about serial killers, you’ll know that quite a few have something in common, that being childhood trauma. There are also those who have a hellish upbringing, one that twisted their reality and pulled the trigger for them to become a monster, and in certain cases, these monsters hide in a sheep’s clothing.

Johan was just a normal innocent kid wanting to play with his sister all day long, eating home cooked meals on the table with his mother and sister, and having all kinds of playful conversations, but children born to parents with cursed fates tend to suffer sooner or later, that’s the reality of the world we live in.

With those painful and agonizing experiences turning the world of Johan upside down and flipping the switch in his head, he experiences insanity and bloodthirst at a young age.

Johan has seen it all and just wants to make the world suffer and see the same sights, hear the same sounds, witness the same abyss he did when it was all something no kid was ever supposed to be a part of.

As an adult, Johan’s life is pretty much that of a serial killer, being on a killing spree while recruiting all these allies who are too ‘impressed’ by the man standing in front of them, even willing to make him grasp their lives in his hand and assume the role of a puppeteer, one who they don’t want to escape, ever.

From people ‘raising’ a leader the world desperately needs to people trying to bring the new Hitler, Johan becomes a formidable villain.

Johan wants to light the candle in the hearts of the twisted and watch it burn humanity. In his eyes, it’s what they deserve.

You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Taking anyone’s life would be unthinkable for someone like Kenzo Tenma. He is someone whose bread and butter is saving people and rescuing lives, all kinds of them, but the guilt and regret of Johan Liebert eats him from inside out. It makes makes him, one of the most tranquil and serene of minds give way to the hatred against one’s self.

He begins to carry a sense of duty and takes matters in his own hands even if it comes at the cost of him becoming the very one he’s been hunting this entire time.

Now, living the life of a suspect and just on the run for crimes he never committed, Kenzo is on the search for Johan in an attempt to rescue him and help him find salvation, but there’s nothing that can stop the murderer.

Johan Monster, the Serial Killer or Victim?

The stage is set, the performance is coming to an end, but sadly, the curtain call won’t have an audience for the first time in history.

It’s safe to say that the genre of Monster is suspense and mystery at its finest. Throughout the series, it’s just one question after another and another since the show takes the thriller, suspense and mystery blend to the next level, a level that only begins to go on the decline after we’re more than just halfway through the show.

It makes any other suspense anime seem just bland and incomplete, making it clear and obvious that the suspense / thriller throne is just there for ‘Monster’ to sit on.

The way it all comes to an end, the way we’re told the story is elegant. All the way from the time Johan and Anna’s parents met to the Kinderheim incident to all these witnesses to Johan’s growth and transformation is just beautiful to say the very least.

Monster is regarded as one of the best manga in the mystery genre to ever hit the pages of the prestigious and legendary shounen jump magazine.

The Monster Anime takes you across Europe, and introduces so many nationalities and faces. It also takes us deep into the twisted mind of probably the deadliest serial killer we’ve ever seen in any anime or manga

This anime is a masterpiece that would be appreciated by the many generations to come. It’s a must watch for any person out there be it you like anime or not. I dare you to say this story isn’t great.

Below are few manga that are worth looking into as well.

Top 5 Fantasy Webtoon Originals

STORIES THAT ENCHANT THE MIND

Top 5 Fantasy Webtoon Originals

Top 5 Fantasy Webtoons

Manga and Comics

The Top 5 Fantasy Webtoon Originals may not be what many folks would expect. The webtoon platform is, by no means, unfamiliar or unknown to the word fantasy. Especially, if you take into account the ‘originals’ that have amassed such a huge audience in a couple of weeks, days at most.

You’ll find a plethora of titles giving a myriad of stars a run for their money for there’s no lack of imagination or creativity when it comes to the word webtoon itself.

Okay, that reference is a little too farfetched, but you get my point. If you’re new to the whole ‘art being cocaine to the eyes’ then, you’re in luck for we’ll be bringing you 5 fantasy webtoon originals that are sure to make you turn a blind eye to reality itself.

These are webtoons that really pull on the strings of a new world, and light the flames of what a fantasy can be. The time you’re playing ‘scroll-scroll’ on your screen would be one you’ll never forget.

Just don’t forget to breathe while you’re at it, please. With that being said, get ready to note down some recommendations cause each and every one of these titles is breath taking to say the very least.

5.

Deor

Every now and then we come across these ‘anomalies’, these ‘misfits’ that are shunned by their kingdom, rejected by the society, or by the very land that still bears their first footsteps. These can be places that gives meaning to their existence.

It isn’t that ‘uncommon’ since it lays the foundation of a great plot and a setting that teams up perfectly with the characters to paint the already well drawn canvas, going down as a masterpiece in history.

‘The Irregular at Magic High School’ being the prime example of the show in question. Being a fan of that series, I wasn’t hesitant at all when I read the overview or synopsis as you’d say of the webtoon title ‘Deor’.

Being that ‘different’ guy is never easy at all, more so if everyone around you is super drunk on the ‘supernatural’. In this case it’s to the point that it makes the normal seem all the more abnormal.

What would Deor do when he’s put in the position to save the very kingdom, rescue the very people who made his life a living hell in the past?

With him being his only ally ever since he was a kid, is the ‘magius’ even worth all the reverence? Some questions are better left unanswered cause what’s been going on in the shadows isn’t something everyone can face with their eyes wide open.

Author Quote:

J.M. Barrie

“The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it.”

4.

Gosu

We’ve all heard the word ‘Gosu’ so many times on the internet that it’s kind of a meme at this point. That’s kind of understandable for the meaning it holds and the impact it delivers, but a webtoon named after that, how could that not be a banger, right?

You’re very right cause ‘GOSU’ takes the fantasy-action duo to the very next level. I’m telling you, the art and action in this one is just spectacular.

Teacher-student relationships are sometimes so precious. A lot of anime and manga have always managed to deliver them in the perfect way possible. In some cases, making ‘parting ways’ a nightmare not only for the two people in question, but what if the master you respected to the ends of Earth dies at the hands of some rather ‘unexpected’ people?

Vengeance and anger would be the only emotions going wild in your head till the day you’ve settled the score with the ones that were responsible for that tragedy.

Gang Yong makes avenging his master’s death his very reason for breathing, honing his skills and undergoing intensive training to make sure his master’s killers pay for what they did, but when the stage is set and the time is right, he runs into a roadblock, a stalemate that makes him question fate, life, the world itself.

These turn of events wasn’t something he ever expected.

3.

The Witch and the Bull

If I was to describe this series in one word it’d be ‘magical.’

This series makes you feel like you’re a part of this ‘other universe’, one that you don’t want to return from even after a whole day of binging with that beautiful music kicking in the background.

We’ve all seen how it’s like for these royal advisors, people who are there just to look after everything the prince and the king are responsible for. Not sure why in many cases the throne makes people’s head stop functioning.

With witches being witches, it’s only natural that Tan’s hatred for witches is so deep rooted that no one is able to talk things through with him. I guess he watches Winx Club a lot.

Hatred can bring destruction and make you go hollow inside. Yes, we’ve all heard that more than just a couple of times, but getting afflicted by this curse that makes him a Bull? Wait! What?! Creators! First of all, why a bull and how is that even a bull? I don’t understand!

There’s always that ‘one way’ to undo the curse no matter what universe we’re talking about. Aro, being a witch we’ve never seen before, holds the key to reverting Tan back to what he was before the curse got the better of him. Nothing will change if you won’t change yourself, right? Yes, that holds true here as well.

Line Webtoon Canvas

Honorable Mentions:

As always, we have something more in case these 5 weren’t enough.

Loved ‘The King’s Avatar’ or ‘Solo Leveling’? Well, with Webtoon coming up with its own ‘Hardcore Leveling Warrior‘.

It’d be a clash of titans between the pros of the two universes. Of course, that exists only in your head since this isn’t a crossover or anything of that sort.

Ever wondered what else strength and a buffed body could be used for?

You’re in luck cause Jaeho from The Strongest Florist will show you that ‘fighting, thrashing and wiping the floor with others’ isn’t all there is to strong men out there. Some are flower fans for instance.

Want a rollercoaster ride of emotions that would shake your own inside out?

Catharsis is the perfect catharsis with catharsis being the ruler of this catharsis webtoon that’s there for your catharsis no matter what catharsis we’re talking about. Okay just shoot me in the head or something!

The Strongest Florist

2.

Zero Game

When it comes to life, only 0.1% of people have everything all planned. It’s just the way things work in the real world. Hanna has it hard. With the death of her parents making her life a living hell, it’s only natural that everything seems as if it’s falling apart all of a sudden.

A break, a respite, a nap, an escape is all Hanna and each and every one of us want at times. Well, I want it all the time, but don’t be like me.

With an email coming up with instructions on how to be a part of this supposedly ‘interesting fun game’ called Zero game, it doesn’t sound too bad either with the good old ‘High risk, high reward’ being the game in a nutshell, right?

Well, losing marks the end of your existence. Winning brings with it the grand opportunity to press the reset button with the cheat codes on this time, throughout the entire playthrough at that as well. It’s safe to say that it’s a gamble many of us would love to take. I would at least, especially with how much video games I play.

With all these new faces and situations she never expected before, the mysteries taking suspense up a notch every other chapter, it’s a journey we all want to witness, and our girl Hanna is the star of the show basking in the spotlight.

1.

Omniscient Reader

We are finally at our last stop for the Top 5 Fantasy Webtoon Originals.

This webtoon is clear proof that any of you who wants to start One Piece would be old and having grand-children the time it ends. Dokja can tell you exactly how it’s like to be with a series throughout it’s beginning to its very end. A regular webtoon read for a webtoon fanatic on his way home from work, what could possibly go wrong, right?

Even if it’s a webtoon that’s been running for like a decade now with you being the only ‘1 view, 1 comment’, still what could possibly go wrong? No! No! I’m not saying that you should see the psychiatrist or call up your old school friend for a meetup or anything. Don’t jump to conclusions yourself!

However, for a fan to receive an email from the very person whose work has him mesmerized, making him tune in every other week, that’s just a dream come true if I’ve ever heard of one.

Dojka being the only fan and him knowing everything that’s about to come everyone’s way, that’s too much of an advantage for a rather failure of a person as they call him, no? Yet, 7 pm has struck and only he knows what that means.

This webtoon gave me hope that it’s just a matter of time before your favorite series becomes a reality!

This webtoon has made it to number one due to it owning every part to what makes a great webtoon. The story captures you, the art enchants you, and the characters are worth the investment.

This is honestly an underrated series when compared to the bigger titles in the Fantasy Genre, but I genuinely feel that this is well deserved.

Top Ten Science Fiction Webtoons

STORIES THAT ENCHANT THE MIND

Top Ten Science Fiction Webtoons

Top 10 Sci fi Webtoons

Manga and Comics

What do you imagine when you think of the Top Ten Science Fiction Webtoons?

Sci-fi has always been the genre people expected ‘a lot more’ from considering how the likes of ‘Star Wars’ and ‘the Terminator series’ have set the bar so high for the new creators.

Many creators have a tendency to just want to go wild with nothing but science and technology being their ‘partners in crime’ whilst doing so.

No pressure, new artists, but at the same time, it’s a genre that has probably the broadest of horizons if that makes sense. It is on par with the fantasy genre that taught it’s good old ‘sci-fi sibling’ how the spotlight was meant to be shared.

Sci-fi is just all over the place in this day and age. They are in movies, anime, comics, and TV shows. Everyone wants to be a part of a universe where ‘nanotechnology’ and ‘black holes’ have been made as interesting as anything can get, often making people select the wrong programs and degrees cause of a little ‘too much excitement’.

Today we have a treat for the webtoon fanatics who just can’t live without seeing the ‘breath-taking future technology’ or the ‘latest technology possible’ today, making a completely different version of inception come to life. So, with that being said, let’s get ready to pull off some all-nighters!

10.

Remn Protocol

Being assigned these ‘mathematical names’ aren’t that big of a deal considering the ‘X Æ A-12′ that almost broke the internet not a while ago.

Never mind it did break the internet.

Everyone has dreams. Some want to conquer the world, some want to live a happy life with a loving family while others just want to bring a live action harem to life, but dreaming isn’t a privilege that’s been granted to everyone.

Some are just ‘spending’ their time, unsure of their very own existence on that land their feet touched a minute or two ago. Making us emotional right from the start.

Remn Protocol only gets better and better since that ‘android’ of a protagonist made a number of memorable faces come to everyone’s mind and the ‘Remn’ makes it all the sweeter if you know what I mean.

The panels sure like to keep it spicy, often playing flip flop every other second with her being surrounded by these machines to her becoming Lucy from Elfin Lied all of a sudden.

Just what are these hazy memories, these vague flashbacks and this setting that she’s suddenly a part of?

The neon lights speak louder than words and those plushie cute animals aren’t what they seem to be, that’s all I can say.

Author Quote:

Arthur C. Clark

“How inappropriate to call this planet “Earth,” when it is clearly “Ocean.”

9.

Temerity

Now we’ve heard of these ‘perfect couples’, the ‘made for each other love birds.’ You know, the ones that give us a dose of sweetness only to make us lose faith in everything that exists here in the real world, but aren’t the unlikely, unfit ‘duos’ the ones that truly bring the best any title has to offer?

With a ‘genetically enhanced perfect macho super soldier’ and a ‘wishing to be diabetic her entire life mercenary’, it’s safe to say that they took the ‘ikari warriors’ and ‘trans Gintoki’ ideas to the very next level.

Though do those things even matter when you’re considered the best not only Earth, but the entire galaxy?

That’s quite a title if you ask me and to be able to uphold it throughout the series, it’s quite a feat to accomplish.

Temerity features the duo in question, debunking the long-believed myth that ‘sci-fi doesn’t blend in well with any other genre out there’.

Add in some drama, some romance, a little bit of comedy and isn’t that the recipe of a great webtoon.

8.

City of Blank

Based in a world where ‘blanks’ can take away almost everything you possess. City of Blank sure takes the ‘erase concept’ to the very next level. The very setting brings a lot of cool accessories to life which I have no idea why the authors haven’t put out as merch.

Rex is on the look-out for answers. He’s on a quest to uncover the mystery that underlies his brother’s death. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, Rex is more than well aware of that line that a certain new protagonist has been all about, but jumping into a bottomless pit headfirst?

Of course not! This isn’t shounen jump lads! Possessing what might be considered a curse, Rex can physically contact Blanks making him much of an oddball in the universe that the webtoon is based in.

The masks, the flames, the ‘looks like a kunai but is definitely not a kunai’ knives, the characters and the environments are here to make his quest all the memorable cause the mysteries and the thrill his adventure carries aren’t all there is to this rather ‘blank’ title..

7.

Lucky!

Naming a sci-fi title ‘Lucky!’ sure sounds that they think of the word being a ‘good omen that would bring luck’ or something like that. Starting off with characters that would drive any sane mind away, the title truly isn’t much welcoming now, is it?

Plus, with character names like lucky and daily, I thought someone was on acid while drawing it considering how the colors are just all over the place as well . . .

Yet, everything changed as I dived deeper into what the title had to offer. The way it brought back the ‘appearances are often deceptive’ back to life was what made ‘Lucky!’ more than just a ‘pimp nightclub logo’ that’s about to go out of business.

An alien popping out of nowhere sure makes you question what you just had for dinner. But Francis is more than just welcoming towards Lucky, everything progressing to him finally getting a place he can call ‘home’. But things are never that simple now, are they?

The title wonderfully depicts the events that would follow the fateful encounter between the two faces and is a tale to remember I tell you.

6.

In The Bleak Midwinter

Now I’d like to start off by saying that the music is a must on this one. Make sure you’re reading the first couple of chapters with the music on cause otherwise it’s just not worth it to be honest.

Making you teary eyed with a first chapter like that, the authors sure know how to make the readers ‘feel attached’ to the series, wasting no time at all.

With the idea of soulmates giving birth to so many questions to having the date engraved to the front of your wrist . . . The Bleak Midwinter builds up the premise really well for what’s about to hit us all not long after that ‘first encounter’.

Everyone wants an escape, the ability to cast away everything and be in this limbo where one can turn a blind eye to everything.

Anya has it tough and it’s only natural for her to take up that shady organization on their offer since she’d do anything to get the ‘rest’ she’s been longing for.

But waking up, having your own wrist do a glow on you while having a gun in your face, is this still a dream?

It’s just tragedy for Anya left and right and she’s always in the middle of what’s right and what’s wrong.

Capacitas

We are half way down the Top Ten Science Fiction Webtoons list! Now here’s a jewel. From the get go, that’ Nishinoya from Haikyuu’ as the ‘mascot thumbnail’ was enough to make me read the webtoon in one sitting, but hitting me with manga art with a style that reminded me of Hunter X Hunter and Dr. Stone! Calm down man!

There’s a limit to what a weeb can take! Capacitas is just a lot to take in and that ‘elite hunter codenamed destroyer’ doesn’t help it at all. Whether it’s for us or Aaron Havers who’s just so ambitious when it comes to being a hunter in that hunter obsessed world.

It’s only natural that they used a completely different examination criteria since a strike from the ‘everyone’s favorite manga on indefinite hiatus’ isn’t going to be one you can talk your things through.

In reality it has something completely different in stored for us, making the truth hit harder than any other thing in the world since a ‘not measurable’ status isn’t one Aaron was expecting even in his wildest dreams.

What is the strange noise that he’s been hearing constantly ever since the assessment? An emergency evacuation order after a blackout? A mere coincidence or what?

4.

Dents

No! No one’s repairing any vehicles! Dents brings us the vintage US comic style with that art and story that hits us with the nostalgia that we’ve been craving for a while now.

However, Dents takes it up a notch and the whole virus infection, quarantine, riots and vaccination will make one remember what’s been going on outside all this time.

What a perfect time to pick up this title! Just what our paranoid mind could ask for, no? Imagine people being scared of identical twins after all this.

Amidst all that, having a ‘Dent revelation’ out of the blue isn’t what anyone would want even in a million years.

Eleanor, making the place ‘scream’ by a mere shout, someone sure did a lousy job with that glass. Now everyone’s out for her blood.

That very event opened a whole new realm, a completely different chapter in her life, one that comes up with a lot of questions that need quick answers. But most important of them all, who and where is that ‘twin’?

Honorable Mentions:

Well, if you’re someone who’s done with every other title on the list then we’ve got a lot more from where that came from cause we don’t want anyone feeling left behind or anything.

Though seriously can you tone it down a little? You hungry animal! Just kidding, just kidding. Here are the honorable mentions that almost made the Top Ten Science Fiction Webtoons list.

Loved Psycho Pass? Want to see another world where AI is the one pulling the strings while humans just sit back, relax and drink their digital coffee?

‘If AI ruled the world’ is the new kid in town so it’s the perfect time to befriend him and know all about him since he’s nervous and everything, no?

Need galaxies and E.T. to spice things up cause Earth being the only sphere in the picture makes things bland and boring?

‘Denma’ is here to keep you company with its iconic art style and one of a kind story for every ‘intergalactic fanatic’ out there. Ever wondered who’s responsible for all your video games running as smooth as it gets?

No, not your 2-grand setup! Silly it’s a patch! Guardians of the Video game is all any gamer could ask for cause it brings you the best of both worlds without stopping at just that..

If AI Ruled the World

Ava’s demon

With Jujutsu Kaisen just making all of us yell with excitement every other Friday for like six months now, it feels like something’s missing now.

Ava’s Demon is the perfect alternative if you’d ask me cause that alien queen would give the ‘finger obsessed demon’ a run for his money real quick. Seriously though, getting sent to the principal’s office just cause of day dreaming, what kind of school is that?

To top things off, the principal threatening an expulsion the moment you walk in. Brutal. Paper Pushing Moron, serves you right.

Ava’s demon brings us a strange tale between the two sides of the coin, the good and the evil, the dark and the light, showing us just what fighting your inner demons would look like.

Seeking revenge has never been an easy task. Especially, more so if you have to travel around the universe to have a date with the one who razed your empire and crumbled it to pieces, but Wrathia is a stubborn one.

2.

The Last Dimension

From two children bringing out a new, deadly version of ‘hide and seek’ to an end no one saw coming, names like Koyol, Pekken and Maulikazim aren’t the only things that would make you question whether the title is worth your time or not.

The Last Dimension quickly turns it around and shows us a school setting that brings a totally different North and South America that we’ve never seen before.

Bringing genotypes and phenotypes to the table, the authors sure have done their research with that enhancer genes and blah blah.

Good work! The webtoon is super interesting after that gibberish first chapter or so with chondrias being equivalent to quirks, showing us just what the title has in stored for us down the road.

Lugo, Fai and Anne make it all the sweeter by bringing all these other elements to the story and with cheesy jokes here and there, it’s the perfect universe any one could ever ask for!

1.

Room of Swords

Who’s ready to take a trip back to the ‘NES 80’s days’ where that iconic ‘Press start!’ was all it took to get us all hyped and ready to retrieve that sword from the demon about to swallow the world a whole?

If you ever thought to yourself what an ‘astronaut on borrowed time on an abandoned planet’ would look like while being in this cycle of repeated resurrection then here’s just the thing for you!

Oh, and I gotta say, those heart shaped biscuits look so damn amazing!

It honestly made me remember Ocarina of Time with those 20 hearts that I collected after reading that wiki a million times. With ‘Scout’ and ‘Vitalitablets’ being his only allies, it’s only natural that our cute little space guy is a bit confused as to what to do and what not to do in a not so friendly place.

All these ‘video game inspired encounters’ and the retro theme of literally every other thing adds so much to the charm of the series that I couldn’t see myself not giving it the number 1 spot.

It brought back so many memories while gifting me all these new ones that I’ll be sure to remember for the rest of my life.

Oh, and again, with this one, the music is a must. The way those 2D comic panels come to life in addition to those 8-bit colors harmonizing with the music brings us the best of both worlds, truly. Don’t forget that!

Below are some novels about space you may enjoy!

Top New Canvas Webtoons for 2021

STORIES THAT ENCHANT THE MIND

Top New Canvas Webtoons for 2021

2021 Canvas Webtoons

Manga and Comics

When the word webtoon comes to mind we image Tower of God, God of Highschool and Noblesse all of a sudden, them being the ‘big three’ and everything.

Don’t get me wrong, those are masterpieces through and through, but the thing about talent is that it’s always there. These are titles waiting to be discovered and brought to the limelight by the very people who were moved by it, even mesmerized

The Canvas corner of the website is the perfect way to just have a look at some of the names we’ll be seeing all over the internet a few months or years from now. Some will be created by people born to be legends in the art world and just needed a platform to shine on.

That’s the best thing about it. You witness the growth, see the birth of a legend first hand, and it makes for an experience you won’t be forgetting for the rest of your lives.

Truly, it’ll be difficult to narrow down the list to a mere ‘10’ cause there are so many amazing titles just waiting for the right readers to pick them up, but I’ve come up with 10 names that truly stand out when compared to the rest. Hence the title, Top New Canvas Webtoons for 2021.

Will these be titles with new episodes and additions to the series every other week? Hell yeah! I’m tuning in the same time, the same day, just not the same week!

With that being said let’s have a look at the some of the Top New Canvas Webtoons for 2021 that have the potential to do great, and you just can’t sleep on.

Art Club Girl

Remember Nichijou? The comedy that was so cute it was just impossible to keep your heart from melting every other minute or so? Art Club Girl is like that, but in another dimension.

One where the glorious ‘art’ reveal happened a bit too soon and gave birth to a rather unexpected turn of events that makes the series all the more fun to read.

It features the Japanese school setting pretty well while blending in that ‘not so anime’ art style, doing a pretty good job at the execution. At first glance I was expecting to see something like Asobi Asobase, one of my favorite comedy anime of all time.

I was kind of disappointed, but not totally in despair cause of course, they’re two completely different shows and bound to be different but Art Club Girl is something that should be appreciated for what it brings to the table.

Author Quote:

Dr. Seuss

Words and pictures are yin and yang. Married, they produce a progeny more interesting than either parent.”

Winterspace

A series being reborn and remade is something that gives the fans the privilege to go back in time and experience it all from a different perspective.

It allows for the fan to also reminisce on how everything was in the past, getting hit by that dose of nostalgia over and over and over again, making it something everyone should experience for sure.

Coming all the way from 2017, Winterscape has kept up with the times and is bigger, better and more enjoyable compared to its older self which lacks quite a bit when compared to its 2.0 we have ongoing today.

The art is what fascinated me the most cause it brings the vintage comic book style to the stage to deliver a performance we won’t be forgetting for a while, making a lot of us add up to the audience the title has as of right now.

The Dark Orient

If I were to describe this series in one word it’d probably be, ‘taking every genre to the very next level’.

With all this miasma making the ‘Code Vein’ players super interested already.

The Dark Orient doesn’t pull back any punches with that level of depth when it comes to the story and characters.

The characters feel original and unique and the combat is one of it’s strongest points. These are things that will be sure to make you a fan.

Everyone’s a super ‘Attack on Titan’ fan in this day and age, no? Well, it’s quite similar to that when it comes to combat as well, minus the 3D movements, and gear.

If it isn’t showing a monster’s ‘terror’ by it going berserk prior to the arrival of a ‘Levi’ has become every other anime lately.

With chimeras, shogun, generals and shepherds, it’s just so much for you take in at first, but once you get used to it, you’ll see for yourself that this series has potential to be great.

UltraViolet

The first day at high school, college or any other educational institute can make a lot of us super anxious. It’s only natural. I mean that’s how UltraViolet drew in an introvert like me.

It drew in someone who saw so many similarities between the series and himself that it made me want to read it for ‘that part’ of it alone. That is before knowing that the ‘cosmic’ side of it was going to be something that made things a lot more interesting.

It honestly makes the famous ‘Parasyte Migi taking over’ reflect heavily in this webtoon. From arriving an hour or two before ‘class is in session’ to having to hear these puns that are not funny at all. How can they be so appropriate?!

I thought the webtoon was based off of my life or something, but it can also remind you of all these adventures you may have had with your friends back in the day.

So, get ready to remember some great memories.

Sunstroke

A series that starts off giving you those 2014 Transistor vibes while making sure it’s art and story is as unique as it gets.

Now that sounds real interesting, no?

The very first chapter does justice to the synopsis with that interview setting looking real tense. Also, Timmy doesn’t shine at his brightest when he’s a part of a situation like that.

We sure have a bunch of rather ‘funny’ faces in the losers club, right? No, I’m not joking. That’s what the posse is called in this series and they have custom badges as well.

Merch hacks 101. Plus, the series made me feel color blind all of a sudden cause all I see is orange. Is that the same for you as well?

Snippets of Love

Again, just beautiful how these webtoons capture the ‘nostalgia’ so well, making us shed a tear or two every other day or so.

Great work indeed. Bringing the good old picture books to mind from everyone’s childhood.

Snippets of Love hits us with the best of both worlds featuring art that brings the best nostalgia has to offer and the romance setting that would make you feel jealous of the couple all of a sudden cause it’s just too cute!

It doesn’t matter if you’re a romance fan or not, this is sure to hit you right in the feels and with not that far into the ‘story’, it’s the perfect time to catch up with everything as soon as possible.

85 Unseen

Have you ever wondered how the ‘night sky’ would be if there were no stars to keep the moon company? What?! I’m the weird one for asking a question like that? Kids these days.

85 Unseen answers that very question really well and introduces a universe that has become one ‘to explore’ for all the sci-fi fans out there.

The thing I love the most about the series is that I saw it literally getting better and better every other chapter, be it the whole flow of the series, the art, the dialogue, everything in general.

Plus, there’s Indian culture sprinkled here and there that gives more depth to the series while keeping everything ‘on the real side of things’ cause all these different names sure make us rather confused at times.

Honorable Mentions:

These are titles that have a lot of promise, but it is still too early for me to determine the story or direction.

Let’s bring in some fantasy cause we’re sure missing out on the best thing that the human mind is known for, imagination and the ability to create entire universes from scratch. Tarot cards, when did we last see them in an anime or a manga? Only Abdul from Jojo comes to my mind. The story would be a really cool one with the Tarots and the tower setting, the fool coming across encounters that would tell us a whole new story every other week or so. Can’t wait for the next one!

There is also a romance that is pulling a lot of strings at Chapter 1. These are titles that I am sure will grow into something great.

The Tower

Crows Devoured

The Ink Apprentice

Reunion

Lunora

So much left unsaid, so much left unseen, but still this manga is able to get a lot of us hooked 5 chapters in.

This title isn’t one anyone should sleep on cause it’s bound to bring a universe with the potential to be one of the most memorable in the new decade, and clearly one that’ll be known on the whole webtoon website.

This is not just a series with a unique universe, but one whose choreography makes us all hyped since we’re all suckers for the action genre.

There’s also those flashbacks that keep reminding us how something’s coming our way while explaining nothing at all. The author sure knows how to keep things spicy all the time.

It’s something that serves as the best ‘cliffhanger’ in my opinion.

It builds up the premise of what might be one of the best reveals we’ve seen in a while when it comes to webtoon.

I have recently dived deeper into this story, read more about it, here.

Selow Pace

This title is on the rise. Ever since its debut in late February, and it’s been racking fans and numbers that just keep increasing day by day.

I mean that’s a given considering what it brings to the table with everything looking so professional and sleek compared to the rest of the titles making it stand apart from the get go.

With a bunch of characters to choose from and a plethora of situations where you can see these familiar faces having all these different conversations, it’s heartwarming to no end.

It’s something that would make you come back for more, that’s for sure. Though seriously that cat at the end is so cute! It makes that ‘socials’ section all the more tempting every other week.
