Fairy Tail : The Golden Plains

Chapter 337

Last week we found that if only someone could destroy the Eclipse Gate then they could send Rogue and the Dragons back to their time streams, without it F.Rogue couldn't come back to the past and the Dragons couldn't be sent forward.

Wasn't it wonderful that at the time of finding this out and being told they were indestructible that Natsu came crashing out of the sky with F.Rogue and Motherglare?

Beer this Sunday!

So this Sunday I will be going to Beer to the ExeWing Sci-Fi day at Pecorama. 

Can't wait! I went to their last one back in 2011, wonderful memories of the day, so much fun and I got to meet Colin Baker! This year I'll be meeting Ace, hopefully I'll have enough money to get an autograph from her and a photo taken like with Colin.

So look out for an excitable me on Sunday! And yes this means I won't be watching Silverstone live.

But look at some of the photos from last time out...

Chapter 336

***SPOILERS***

Hannibal : Savoureux

Episode 13

The finale is finally upon us (sad times) and by the end of the episode will it be Will that is believed to have killed people or will someone finally catch Hannibal spinning his webs?

This series has been a total and utter mind blowingly amazing series, a gem of a show that doesn't get the love it deserves because its too this or too that. Personally I have found it so interesting and emotional waiting a week to watch episodes have felt like a stab of cold to the heart at times.

So for the last time until sometime next year.... Hannibal!

Kore wa Zombie Desu ka : Yes, That's Kyoto Tofu

Episode 5

Last episode the serial killer killed twice more whilst Eu told Ayumu all about why she can't talk or even make a noise.

It was all sadness and tears really.

Will the serial killer kill again?!

***SPOILER***

Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka : Whoa, Am I Glowing

Episode 4

So yes it has been a while and I hope to get all the episodes up to 7 done today but that depends how many I get to watch leading up to today. I keep saying I'll catch up and then before I know it one review takes forever and I never make it to Zombie Desu Ka.

As I've said countless times I have a new puppy that I have to look after and not enough time or energy to watch anime or write blogs. Sad but true.

Anyway last episode (which we all watched a long time ago!) Orito finds out that Ayumu is living with three girls, they go bowling and afterwards visit another victim of the serial killer who tells Ayumu that she remembers seeing Eu at the scene of the crime.

So after way too many weeks of waiting for it, lets find out what happens next!

Yogi has officially evolved into Yukkin. Yes, yes he has.

Men...

***SPOILERS***

Fairy Tail : The Time of Life

Chapter 335

Well last chapter was a barrel of laughs now wasn't it? What with Ultear taking the blame for all of Jellal's wrong doing and Gray getting killed off.

How will Fairy Tail react to losing one of their strongest members?

***SPOILERS***

Should fans boo rival drivers?

With podium interviews now apart of F1 it gives much more time for vocal fans to show their happiness/displeasure at race winners.

A lot of people think that booing has no place in the sport.

Me?

As a wrestling fan I don't see their problem. Yes wrestling is so much different but I'd rather have people show their displeasure by booing then by doing other things. Some of the banners and online "groups" are way more disrespectful then just booing someone. Do you expect someone who hates Vettel/Hamilton/Alonso to cheer just because we want the world to think we are the greatest fans in the world?

Well it won't work will it?

You can't force happiness out of someone and as long as it is just booing what harm is it really doing? Most of the stands in Canada looked pretty red to me and most of the time I didn't (on the TV) hear much booing just a lot of people chanting for Alonso.

Of course Vettel might not be happy to think he's being booed but then it is the same as the way the English media and a lot of English fans behaved towards Alonso back in '07 and I didn't hear a load of people come out in his defense saying that Hamilton fans should be lovely to him to his face then go off and be cruel behind his back.

I think ALL fans, all real fans will give the drivers the respect they deserve but surely booing someone they didn't want to win is A LOT better then making "hate" pages up and being totally disgusting towards those drivers online?

I respect all the F1 drivers, I don't always respect their decisions and I don't always respect the drivel that comes out of their mouths. But they are human, I am human and I won't go and pay to be at a race to be told to cheer on a rival driver just because its good etiquette.

Be happy fans are only booing it could be a lot worse trust me!

Hannibal : Relevés

Last episode Will killed Dr Gideon (weep) whilst in the hands of a fever after Gideon had escaped and tried to identify with the Chesapeake Ripper.

This weeks is the penultimate episode of the season, is the net closing in on our resident cannibal?

***SPOILERS***

Between Shadows By Anna Dunne

Written in 2010 (clue is in the piece) this is a little like my Alonso one but this time from Nico Rosbergs point of view. Remember the return of Schumacher and how the Mercedes was terrible except for you know the fact that Nico was doing alright? Yeah this is from then.

Enjoy!

F1 Races losing their excitement?

So I wrote in my F1 blog for the Canadian GP that there is a possibility that F1 is losing a bit of its excitement.

Now this is purely personal and I don't even mean "is the racing exciting" because believe you me condensed down into a highlights package and you SEE that the races are exciting, and all races in the history of F1 have had lulls in the middle of a race or when one driver is slowing down a bit to make sure they get to the end of the GP.

I mean in a totally different way.

Fernando Alonso : The anti-hero Written by Anna Dunne @Awerka

This piece was written by me a good few years ago now. I think it was after the team orders debacle. I wrote it for a piece on my old forum when we started to try and bring all our creativeness together, at that moment there was a big anti-Alonso feeling on the forum (which hurt as all the members knew how much I adored Alonso and I'd never be that cruel to their favorite so I didn't know why they had to always be so mean in front of me. And I don't mean critical I mean just rude and nasty) and I wanted to try and bring them around to how their words could filter back to not only Alonso but any driver and hurt them.

I know personally the drivers are harder then to let a few people online or some journalists who will love them the minute they win get to them with name calling, but just as I find it hard sometimes to wake up and do my job after having the 100th drunk come strolling into our shop and causing problems this is how I imagined someone like Alonso would feel when all he does is his job and gets prosecuted for something beyond what needed to be said.

I hope you enjoy it. I'll be posting some more of my random F1 stories during the week.
