Halloween theme episode in anime

Happy Halloween everyone

(if you are reading this the day after then happy day after halloween )

Hope you are enjoying your candy, snacks, or whatever you are enjoying.

While sitting here a though accured to me how come there aren't any halloween themed anime episode in anime?

We always get the obligitory chrismas episodes  when it comes to anime. One could aruge that "well Halloween is a American thing i never heared of the Japanese Celebrating halloween"  while others like me could easly call bullshit on that.

Halloween is an American holiday but there are other countries that do happen to celeibrate it as well as us they might not do the whole door to door trick or treat thing but the whole aspect of dressing up they do..

Back on topic, When it comes to anime How come we never get a halloween theme anime episode?
Cowboy bebop Knocking on heaven's door was centered around Halloween and the epic fight at the end took place during a big Halloween parade but that a MOVIE.What about shows? Hyouka had two characters dresses as pumpkins and  come in to the classroom where orieki was and said "Trick or Treat" before handing him a water gun but this was during the school festival.

We as otakus are forced to watch things like Hellsing utimate,  The blood series(blood the last vampire, blood+ and the other blood movie i don't recommend blood-c)  or any monster anime. I just want a anime with a halloween episode in it. Am i the only one?

monogatari season 2 episode 15 Rant!

what the fuck was the point!

this is going to have slight spoilers so if you haven't seen it yet then go watch it.

ok i meant to do this a while a go but other anime got in the way.

The fuck was the point of having her turn yandere.

I get it she had the snake demon inside of her and  well kinda still had feelings for Agarigi. But she being 14 and Him 16 really? The most i thought would turn Yandere in the whole series, The one who deserves to become a yandere in my opinion was HANEKAWA!!!!

Don't get me wrong Nadeko snake arc was interesting. Having her deal with snakes all over again because in bakemonogatari her arc was kinda short in my opinion and during this arc it was interesting  however  i didn't not like and i do not like that after all was said and done the problem was not solved oh no.

Instead SHE BECOMES A FUCKING GOD!!








Bravo Monogatari you have fucked me over yet again!

Kyousou Giga(2012)

I stumbled upon this weird little anime by accident. I just happen to watch the first episode of  Kyosou Giga TV thinking that was the ONA.  I really can't decribe the plot in Kyousou Giga 2012 because it mostly contribes of 5 short stories revovling around this girl and a town mirroring  Kyoto  where everything is weird and things fixes itself. Once i found out that Kyousou Giga TV is a prelude to the ONA's i went back to watch them and in one sitting.

I find my self liking Kyousou Giga 2012 despite each episode being short and sometimes the plot of that episode being like WHY?WHAT THE FUCK? WHATS GOING ON? espically in the episode where everyone was tossing useless thing away and they just happen to float..in the sky? i don't know it just seem so odd but yet interesting at the same time.

One of my favorite characters out of the show  was the spunky 14 year old Koto. Im kinda am looking forward twards her back story in the TV anime because in the ONA we get to only see how she is and her personality. We never got to see how she arrive with her companions Au and Un in the mirror Kyoto or why is she even there to begin with.

Story-8
Each episode of the ONA has its on little story that is sum up nicely in the breif time frame that it has from the first episode to the last one which was the weirdest one they still mangage to do a awesome job telling a good story.

Sound-8
For a short ONA this does has a amazing soundtrack. Espically during episode 4 and 5 of the ONA. I would like to know what song was being played when Koto and Myoe was running through the field.

Art-9
Ok so if anyone's familiar with vocaloid they would know of the kakarou project. This artwork somewhat resembles that.  That aside each character movement flows fluidly espically during the brief fighting scene in episode 5. I kinda like Yase Douji eyes.

Overall-8.5
It is short but that is because it is a ONA. I do plan on watching Kyouso Giga TV  but if you want to get some what of a idea of what to expect in the TV show  or just want to did what i did and Check out the first episode of Kyouso Giga TV then go back and watch the ONA's then do that i highly recommend it. Either way its is a must watch.

Rozen maiden 2013

Hm? I really do not know how to feel about this show. I mean it wasn't a bad show it wasn't confusing   it just. Hm.

Rozen maiden 2013 is one of those underrated shows  that people usually pass up because of the high rated or talked about shows of the season (Attack on titan). I watched it because i had watch the original Rozen maiden series , Rosen maiden season 2 and the OVAs. Rozen maiden 2013 follows the original manga.  The first two episodes were basically a rehash of what happen in the first original rozen maiden anime things change however in episode 3 where we see a older adult Jun in the future who is not a shut in but is a shy introverted college student  who lives alone and works at a book store with a dick of a manager and a nice girl name saito. We are re introduce to the old dolls but under different circumstances  Shinku  come to the adult Jun future  but as a clone for her real body is stuck in the N-field, suigintou who comes to the adult Jun futue in search for her master who was kidnap but ends up staying with him.  Hinaichigo was eaten in the first two episode by a New doll name Kirakishou a bat shit insane doll who has no physical body, Kidnaps humans for nurishment and was the one who kidnap suigintou master.souseiseki who was killed by suigintou and had her rosa mystica tooken by her and   suiseiseki who protects Kirakishou because SPOILER: when kirakishou does get a phyicall body it is really souseiseki and suiseiseki protects  kirakishou agaisnt Shinku and Suigintou.

The whole anime except for the first two and the last episode revolved around the adult Jun and his interaction with the dolls and his daily life. His interaction with the doll were a major inpact to the series because we got a insight on his behavior and how and why he is the way he is now. When shinku came into the picture and when the adult something along the lines of "why can't things change?" shinku said to him something along the lines of "things cannot change if you do not want them to change. If you want them to change you have to change them with your own hands".


plot-8.5
Its a interesting plot when it came to Kirakishou and the other dolls but i just felt like it focus more on the adult Jun and his interaction with people.

Art-7
I don't know if peach pit had a hand or a say in the artwork of this anime like they did in the original  but the artwork is very good but the only problem i had was with suigintou wings. They look like somebody used photoshop on them.

Characters-4

There really wasn't anything that set these characters apart or made them stand out and even though we got to see Jun as a adult even he was lacking as a character. The only interesting character was  Kirakishou who despite he not having alot of screen time she seem to have the most personality in my opinion.

overall-7.5
If you aren't a fan or haven't seen the original series i would suggest you skip it  not because it bad but there really wasn't anything  that i could say that stood out about it but if you did see the original series then you might want to check this one out. It starts out kind slow and the story is very slow pace but the action between the dolls makes up for it.

Dangan Ronpa anime review

So Dangan Ronpa just ended. Yep.


Lets just say you are better off playing the game.


Dangan Ronpa High school of hope students of dispare. I first heard of this anime when i heard it was going to be made into a anime because it was originally a psp game in japan. i did a little research on youtube and seen all the execution scene on there before it was release. only thing that turn me off about it was the pink fucking blood but i thought that once the anime was release  they would change the pink to red blood. Nope.


Let now talk about the actual anime. give or take it ok. Not good kinda bad once you get to the courtroom scenes making this a ok anime. you can tell they cut  corners when they didn't really do much to animate the execution scenes and all they do to the courtroom scenes was to animate it they still have the bullet round bullshit  that was in the psp game.

for a 12 episode anime it was kinda fast pace but it was boring as fuck and with the mediorce animation made it kind of a bad anime.

Story-2.2
its bascially battle royal mix with phonix wright.

art-3
meh.

sound-6
ok ok the anime is kinda bad but let take a moment to admire the rapping at the opening and the 8-bit sounding song at the end

overall 4

Play the game. This anime is shit. Unless you are a masochist  like me check it out its ok for most part.

 

Btw They are making SUPER DANGAN ROMPA 2  into a anime so yeah im a masochist and i will check it out.

Blood lad 1-8 Review

Yay another vampire anime! Now Blood Lad isn't  like your Hellsing, or Vampire knight. In fact,  Its more of a comedy. A very...Very...sad dry comedy.
I am going to dwell into the characters in a min but less just talk about the atmosphere of Blood lad. Setting good. Background good. Sound meh. Everything is ok but it just feel like something is missing some how. There were certain scene in the anime where the characters were talking amongst each other where the music would stop and i guess it was suppose to add dramatic  to the scene but it seem to be lacking. I don't know to me this anime just seem to be missing that "ump" that would make it a good series.
Now to the characters.The characters are the only thing that keeps me watching this show. Staz is a otaku vampire who is obsessed with Anime and anything japanese (bascially breaking the 4th wall at times) to a point there was a episode he was about to do the kameiha meha wave. Fuyumi is a human who wonderd into the demon world where staz lives and end up getting killed and turns into a ghost and now relys on staz blood to keep her ghost body(because fuck logic) and Staz promises to bring back fuyumi human body from the dead. Along the way we meet Wolf, Staz friend/Rival who is a wearwolf, Bell who makes portal out of anything square, and Staz elder brother Braz and younger sister Liz. Its more but these are the main cast.
The plot isn't anything exciting. Its just getting fuyumi to be a human again and not a ghost and of course there are min plots  thrown in at times  like the  franken creatcher body snatcher or going to the high class demon world to see braz only to get thrown into jail  by Liz but its nothing that important.

Concluding i would be more interested and more entusiastic about it it had that "ump" to it. Its not a bad Action/Comedy anime. Far from it. Its just that you take out that "ump" and Just follow the Story-plot-setting-charcters-ending guidlines then you are just going to have a decent anime. When animators make a anime they put that "ump" in it be it their Time,Love, or  a feeling that they did something that they thought they couldn't do or even to spread joy and happiness to others. With Blood Lad i feel that this was made just to fill in a quota for the Summer Anime slot.


Idk what do you guys think?

Shadow Star Narutaru first impression

Now i wasn't going to write this but instead write a review for the first five episodes of monogatari season 2 but i figure i can sum it up  in a few word and keep it moving

Predicatable plot is predictable.
Not to mention it  three thing 1) Hanekawa character in episode 3-5 was so predictable it was annoying 2) i get the fact she doesn't remember she was friendzone the first two time by agaragi  because of black hanekawa but once he picked senjogahara to be his girlfriend at the end of bakemonogatri it was clear to her in nisemonogatari she was friendzone so why the fuck she bother to confess to him? idk it just bother me and 3) why was the first half of the tiger arc was spent playing where the FUCK is Argaragi only for him to pop up and be a badass at the end. Seriously i get him not being around when hanekawa was figuring out what the tiger was but don't put him in at the last minute  because at that point it just useless.


back to the main point.

Shadow Star Narutaru

If you have a sick twisted mind and like kids to suffer psychologically then this is the anime for you.

For fuck sakes it take a fucking dark turn in just the second episode hell evagelion took a long time to get that fucking dark. The manga is even worst. Its just as more darker that the anime.

Shadow Star Narutaru is a old Anime from 2003. It only has 13 episode and i only mangage to check out 6 of the 13 before i decided to take a break before i have a mental break down.


The story follows Shiina Tamai a average 6th grader who visit her grandparents one summer and during her visit encounter a star shape alien who she names Hoshimaru.
*note i am giving you a lighter version

I would recemend you check out the anime first so you can be prepared for the clusterfukery that the manga has to offer. I just glanced at some of the scans mostly that of chapter 11-12 and fuck.

This anime. We need more like it.
