The end of this month will premiere the debut issue of Shonen Jump Alpha. This will be the best (legal) way to read the latest manga chapters of One Piece and several other Weekly Shonen Jump titles from Japan.
A weekly internet publication is something that One Piece fans have been asking after for years. Shonen Jump Alpha will contain a reliable and accurate translation done by long time One Piece fan and translator, Stephan Paul (Regular contributor on The One Piece Podcast). You get to read a year’s worth of manga from six popular series including One Piece straight from Japan for only $25 dollars a year.
The best part is that you will be going to the New World the right way.

One Piece More: Closing Out 2011
One of the worst things about a year ending is trying to remember everything that has happened in the last 364 days. So much has happened in a year that it feels like not much has happened. Then you try to remember it all and things get even more confusing. Why do people even try to remember everything that has happened in the last year when it is hard enough to do that in our own life?
Whatever, let’s get into this.

Review Piece: Haibane Renmei (Secret Santa)
…There were angels born from giant cocoons. Imagine my surprise when the series Haibane Renmei begins with no apparent conflict. Mystery and secrets abound, but they aren’t serious plot devices, and so the viewer begins to wonder where the conflict lies. This is the central idea of the series: it has no larger conflict; the conflict is only revealed in the concluding episode of the series. A few minor conflicts occur, which deeply affect the plot and drastically change the tone of the anime in a short period of time, but the tender message of the story does not change as a result, but is rather strengthened as more truth comes to light.
This series is Haibane Renmei, an anime based on a doujinshi comic series created by Abe Yoshitoshi in 1998. The series débuted and ended in 2002 with 13 episodes, categorized as drama/fantasy. For the Reverse Thieves’ annual ‘Secret Santa’ project, this is the anime I chose to review for the end of the year.
