Naruto Shippuden Box Set 34 Review

Does anyone remember that meme where people added “-ception” to things within things in reference to the film Inception? Well, it’s a bit out of date now, but: welcome to Fillerception, where the majority of this Box Set is a filler story within a filler story. Hooray?

Dragon Ball Z Kai – The Final Chapters: Part 1 Review

After a couple of years break, Dragon Ball Z Kai returns to UK shores to present the final DBZ arc in cut down form: the Buu Arc.
