Fanfic reviews

      Second Chances, a Shaman King fan fiction.

Second Chances is a fanfic centralized around Hao Asakura (Zeke in English Translation) after he loses at the Shaman Tournament and instead of being killed, he ends up knocked out and badly injured. With this, his brother Yoh goes against the Shaman Council and tells them that he will help his brother change his ways. The Council then grants him a year with the condition that if he has not changed, they will finish him off themselves. What happened afterwards is Hao’s journey through rehabilitation with the help of two random created characters from the author.

This fan fiction was a lot of fun to read, the author created two random characters to make the story his own, blending the annoyance of random people in your home that are staying with you for a year that you’re trapped but also gives a “slice of life” feel to it where someone who despises people has to learn them to deal with them. I also liked the way how each chapter had a little drama, romance, whatever… Just so reading 50 chapters isn’t incredibly tedious; he mixes in the correct amount of elements so that it keeps you reading.

 

    Princess Jealousy, a Princess Resurrection fan fiction.

Poor Hiyorimi Hiro, he really gets himself into trouble in this one. This story is centred on Hiro as he tries to juggle a new friendship with a girl from his class whilst also realizing the depth of his feelings towards his master, Hime. As the story continues, Hime too realizes that the boy who she made one of her servants may also have the potential to become something else to her entirely.

With this one, I’m really looking forward to the next chapter, its not yet completed and I have to say, the author has a real great insight to the complications that come with being a high school kid that is also a servant for a princess who he’s fallen in love with as well as having a new person appear at your school that you feel at ease hanging around with.

 

   Addiction, a Neon Genesis Evangelion fan fiction.

Now, anyone who has ever watched this show, they will know how messed up it is. Luckily, this fan fiction adds a little levity to the world and allows the reader’s imagination to put every scenario together in any way they wish. The story paints a “what if” scenario in which what could have happened in the episode where Asuka and Shinji use an unusual method to kill time and boredom.

Making it a “what if” type of story gave it a real imaginative trait, it paints the scenario and carries on but it kind of encourages the reader to try and imagine what other things could have been added to make it more entertaining.

 

      Call me by my name, a Sora no Otoshimono fan fiction.

This anime is actually quite new but I can honestly say, I had a lot of fun watching it, sometimes I re-watch it on the same day after a marathon. This one locks onto the Angeloid, Ikaros, as she attempts to makes sense of her feelings towards her master, Tomoki, and with her being an “alien” that’s been programmed without many emotional traits, it’s quite difficult for her to do so without making a fool of herself.

I’m actually surprised that the author hasn’t added some more chapters to this; I thought it was a one-shot but maybe they’re just busy, I liked this story cause with the series not having many fan fictions, it might be wuite interesting to see what ideas people could come up with. Starting with this series as a base was a pretty good move for the newbie writer and I hope they will finish this one soon.
