So here we are at the end of My Hero Academia’s Final Arc. Due to a lot of the side plots being covered in the previous chunk of episodes this review isn’t going to be super long, especially the pre-spoiler bit, but hey-ho! Let’s take a look at the finale of one of the bigger hits for Shonen Jump in some time.

The Third Doctor Adventures press on with a rather odd story that tries to blend classic pulpy sci-fi with World War II drama and ends up weakening both tried-and-true Who staples. That’s not to say “Operation: Vengeance” isn’t without merit, it has some great scenes with the Brigadier and The Doctor, but at six parts there is more dull than interesting… Let’s take a look!

After enjoying the first volume of this Dragon Quest spin-off manga I was happy to also get the opportunity to review the second volume, which can be found by clicking HERE.
Basically its got a bit more of an edge to it, and doesn’t involve a long training arc, thankfully…
Time to catch up with the MCU and talk about “First Steps”, finally introducing an MCU version of The Fantastic Four… sort of. The film takes place in another universe entirely, presumably explaining why they haven’t appeared before now and due to the events of Doomsday/Secret Wars will be integrated into the MCU proper at that point. Due to this distance from the MCU though they decided to create a much more comic-accurate version of the super team and world they inhabit, which was really fun. Let’s take a look…

The “Wicked!” boxset’s second and third story sadly aren’t much better than the first one, which given the interesting premise of the boxset is a bit of a downer. Each story looks at the young Ace from a different perspective, which is a good thing to do with the box’s premise, but they don’t offer any interesting plot on top of it which makes them just dull stories that happen to feature a young Ace in them. Oh well, let’s take a look!

“Backwards and in Heels” is the first story in the “Wicked!” boxset that takes place directly after Ace’s debut TV story “Dragonfire”, which is weird that it’s taken this long to get around to it when you think how long they’ve been doing Seventh Doctor audios… Anyway, the story being the first in the set means this is Ace’s first ever adventure and for that we get a very odd and not particularly exciting story. Let’s take a look…

Last year I’d played so few that-year-released games that I had to put compilations and remakes all over the list, this year I’m happy to say there are no compilations and while entry #10 is two-thirds remaster it does have one-third entirely new game as well, so this is a much better look at games I’ve played in 2025 actually FROM 2025. I’m pretty sure Dynasty Warriors: Origins and Donkey Kong Bananza would’ve made it as well, but the former didn’t immediately appeal (due to going against what I like from DW games) and just hasn’t dropped in price all year and the other is a consequence on me only getting a Switch 2 for Christmas and only have so much free time! With that all said, let’s take a look!

2025 wasn’t a great year for Doctor Who. The actual TV show didn’t have a lot of highlights and was straight up hated on by a rather unpleasant part of the “fandom” and Big Finish audios didn’t do a great job of picking up the slack, though at least there were SOME highlights throughout the year, and the new on-going Ninth Doctor / Rose and Thirteenth Doctor ranges have been welcome additions… So let’s take a look, oh and I’ll point out that once again I haven’t listened to the December Big Finish releases yet (bar “Dare You”) so if any of those really stand out then, um… oh well!

While another rough time in my life has curtailed my enthusiasm for review writing I have managed to assemble enough motivation to keep my streak of yearly Top 10s going! I think more than any other category I’m always wondering if I’ve even watched enough new TV to make a top 10, but each year I just about manage it, almost entirely due to my love of animation to be fair… so let’s take a look!

The Ninth Doctor and Rose stories continue on with a genuinely creepy and very original story despite being once again set on the Powell Estate and featuring Jackie Tyler for the second release in a row. We get a fun villain, a fun new guest character and a big dramatic Time War speech from The Doctor for oddly the first time in Eccleston’s long audio run, so let’s take a look…
