My tribute to Akira Toriyama

So, yes, I'm so unbelievebly late with posting this on here and I apologise for that, but, yeah, about two weeks ago, it was announced that Akira Toriyama, the creator of the Dragon Ball franchise passed away at the age of 68. This was obviously absolutely horrible, horrible news when it was announced because Akira Toriyama really create easily the most popular anime and manga franchise of all time with the Dragon Ball franchise and there's no way it would be the way it is right now without it. Dragon Ball has helped inspire so many other amazing works like One Piece, Naruto, Bleach and so on. I mean, I've personally been a fan of Dragon Ball ever since I got into it back in 2017 and I've been a huge fan ever since. Apparently the cause of death was some kind of bleeding in his head and it's even more sad when you realise he was still fairly young because 68 isn't really old at all. And the fact that there was clearly more things in the franchise left, especially Dragon Ball Daima that's coming out this year, will be more tragic to watch since it was the last thing he ever worked on. Anyway, when it happened, I made this tribute video for him. Here it is and rest in peace, Akira Toriyama and thank you for everything.

My Alphonse Elric collectible (Review)

So, this is one I've sorta been working on for a while, but, last year, I finally managed to get a collectible for the other Elric brother after Ed, Alphonse. Ed's collectible was one of the first I ever got and so it was great to get one of his brother as well. In terms of other Fullmetal Alchemist characters, I don't know if I'll get anymore after these two, but I'm super glad to have the two of them since I love both characters and I still see them as the best sibling pair in anime and manga. It was also cool just to have Al as a figure since we got a good look at his design since he's a suit of armour for the whole series and how they it with this is really cool, not to mention the fact that I do love Al as a character and so having him is just great to have. Anyway, here it is and I hope you all like this.
