Winter First Impression Pt 3

I am back for my last installment of my first Impression of this season airing anime. If you would want to keep up with what is airing check out Anichart . Check out my first two reviews Here (pt 2) and  Here (pt 1)

Let get started with this last review



DRRRRxShou2 or Durarara Season 2

Most of the old characters return as well as a couple of new characters. The second episode we are introduce to Izaya sisters(which if you would have watched the OVA we saw them then) and a boy named Kuronuma Aoba. If you watch the first season you know not to expect everything to connect till near the end of the series so if you want a anime where you can  have fun putting pieces together  or are a fan of the Durarara series then you will want to check this out.


Isuca

Being how most anime's are on their third or fourth episode this one is just on it's first. Don't expect too much from this show because the promotional PV hyped it up so much that when the show aired it was very ,very bad. This show is about a boy who get saved from a demon by a girl who uses magical Aarow's. They meet up in school and soon become bounded to each other.  I probaby won't keep this show up because i really did have high hopes for this show but this first episode kinda crushed it. It has fan service which is heavely blurred out. This show is a mess.

Military!

Just a show about cute little Loli's who happens to live in a guys house and happens to be from the military. Each show are about three minuets so they aren't long.

That is it. thank you all for your time and please check out all or a few of these anime for this winter season.

Winter 2015 anime first impression pt 2

So i am back with Part 2 of this season winter anime. To keep of with what is airing check out anichart   to see what i already review click here  

Let get started

 Death Parade

Welcome to limbo where a bartender will judge if you either goes to Heaven or Hell. The first episode was very erie.  Im not going to even try to spoil it but yeah if you like watching people figure  out if they are dead or alive and being forced to play a game by their bartender to see if they are getting into heaven or hell check this out. I will be watching this one but maybe with the lights on.

Assassination classroom

What happens when you put a group of misfit middle schoolers and a ailen teachers who only real face jester is a weird psychotic smiley  face and force these teens to kill their teacher before March. You get this anime. The first episode while it was funny it really wasn't nothing stand out about it except  for the main character. I will check it out for comedy purposes this season and mostly to see where it goes.

                                       The person with the blue hair? yeah that a guy too.


IdolM@aster Cinderella Girls

Im not a fan of Idol anime but for some reason this one caught my attention. After checking out the Puchimas idolmaster series previously i decided to give this series a chance. For the most part it is boring but the music is good. I won't be watching it on a regular but when i do it will be for the music.

Koufuku Graffiti

A anime by SHAFT where half their budget goest to animating food perfectly. The first episode was really all about the food and mostly this whole anime is about food. To be honest its a slice of life anime about food. I will be watching to see the many different ways SHAFT plans on animating or using food in this anime.

Stay tune for part 3

Winter 2015 Anime first impression Part 1

Hello everyone long time no review. I though i pop in here and give you all a decent review of this winter airing anime. I was going to review Tsukimonogatari but i kinda didn't like that arc. A quick review while i thought this was going to cover Yotsugi and her story line it mostly covered Agaragi and how he now can't use or rely on shinobu for her vampire powers because he will become a vampire if he does and in Tsukimonogatari he had to defeat a guy to save Kanbaru and his sister. Suck when you can't use shinobu's power. I only got a 2 min explanation on Yotsugi background.  Visually it was stunning, plot wise it sucked. Anyway I'm here to give you my thought on this season airing anime.


Yuri bear storm/ Yuri Kuma Arashi

It is made by the same people who made Utena and Mawaru Penguin drum  and if you seen both you know how confusing they can be especially mawaru. This first episode was no exception

it went from this :

To this:

Were they eating her out via her heart?!
This show is weird this is on my watch list.  The show ended with the girls in their bear form eating (literately eating) another girl's body on school ground and another girl catching them i just wanna see how weird it's going to be.

Maria the virgin witch/ Junketsu No maria

This show takes place during a war in france where a  virgin witch lives in the middle of the forest. While this seem like a interesting show i really wasn't that all into it during the first episode. Most of the show was ecchi fan fair with the shape shifting albino female owl dawning a dominatrix looking white outfit in her scenes and maria bathing and sleeping naked in hers. Will i be watching this show not as frequently as others i plan but this is a good show to keep a eye on.

Kantai Collection/kanColl/ Fleet Girl Collection

Think strike Witches but in the water and with ships and no neko girls.  Many of the Top girls at the school possess spirits of old Navel ships.  These girls fight against ancoll ship or the evil ships. Fubuki a girl who recently arrived at the school was assign to the torpedo squad and is soon trusted into battle. Poor Fubuki. Anyway the animation for this show is pretty fluid However, the fighting scenes  in this anime are in CGI

At first i didn't notice it but yeah it's in CGI but it blends well with this anime for some reason. I do see this becoming a problem at some point however. If you are into military action anime with a mix of moe or have been a fan of this series for a while i do recommend this anime the first anime was good and the CGI really wasn't that big of a deal in this episode.


That it for part one for now.I will be back in soon for part 2

Top 10 Anime of 2014

It has been quite a year for anime. This year we've gotten some good and some bad anime. Some anime that made us think and some anime that wished we never gotten emotionally attached to characters who have numbers for names. Right now i will cut straght to  the chase and give you my top 10 anime's of 2014.
These are my top 10 of what i thought were the best of this year if you don't agree with this list that fine.


No.10

Wizard Barristers:Benmashi Cecil

 Not alot of people know about this anime because it was overshadowed by Nisekoi and a finshing up KLK. Made by the same person who made KITE. Mezzo DSA, and Mezzo Forte Yasuomi Umetsu puts out his own anime the first in 8 years. The story was about 18 Year old Cecil who becomes a public defender of those who uses magic making her the youngest defender as the story progress there are people who are after here developing magical powers and near the end of this anime Lucifer himself was even interested in Cecil. If you missed this anime or haven't checked this out due to Umetsu record of only making hentai or hentai-ish anime give this one a chance. The action is good and  the plot is very well written and if you are looking for hentai there are a few ecchi moment but this is more of a action/drama anime.




No.9

Amagi Brilliant Park

Even though it just finished airing this show still made the list. I feel Kyoani took a gamble when they decided to make this show about a failing amusement park. Not only did it souly focused on kaine trying to make quota before the deadline but it also focused on the comedy and try not to make this a heavy drama filled show which it could have been. I believe if there is a season two that when they will add the drama.


No.8

Akuma No Riddle

Its a yuri. Its a Action Yuri. Well to be frank its a show where 12 girls try to kill one girl and if they do they get their wish granted. As we get to see how each diffrent girl tries to kill Haru(i say try because she is now protected by Tokaku a blue haired girl who vowes to protect haru with her life) we get to see each girl motivation on why they want or have to kill Haru. Its one to check out if you like Yuri.

No.7

Free-Eternal Summer

This is the second season of FREE! we get not one but Two new characters and everyone overcomes their problems. Im sorry i really don't want to talk much about this because Funimation is dubbing this shit and they did a shitty job casting the dub cast.


No.6

Mekaku City Actors

What started off as a series of Vocaloid songs under the titled Kagero-project which was then adapted into a manga with the titled Mekaku City Actors, Mekaku City Actors was another must see anime. SHAFT decied to animate the series and for the most part it turn out well. The plot if you haven't read the manga or listen to any of the songs it will be confusing. The ending will have you rage quit because being honest i was hopping for a bad ending but if rumors are true and if they are making a ova i may be getting my bad ending.

No.5

Gugure! Kokkuri-San

 

Another anime that finished airing, this anime is based on a girl living on her own untill she summons a fox spirt named Kokkuri-san who end up living with her just to look out for her. More characters were added to the fray and a big ol ball of comedy followed. This is more of a supernatural comedy but it is funny.

No.4

Hanamonogatari

 

This is another arc in the monogatari series but instead of focusing on any of the main cast. it's main focused was on Kabaru. Kabaru decided to talk to a girl who she use to go to Junior High with who she though drop out due to a injury to her leg. This girl decide to take the monkey paw curse from kanbaru  only for kabaru to find out that this girl is dead and she plan on collecting all of the money part becoming the embodiment of the curse it self. Instead of it being 5 single episodes like SHAFT originally planned  it was 5 episodes together making it one hour long episode. None of the main cast was seen except agargi and that was only 5 min in the last part. Hanamonogatari was very personal to me as well as for it was about growing and figuring out who you are.  Please check out Hanamonogatari if you haven't

No.3

Parasyte

 While this anime is still currently airing this anime is really good. New Fapping Jokes were born and if you even go to the Jbox/Jlist Site there are product with Migi on them or made with migi likeness. Parasyte is about Shinichi who while sleeping get infect with a parasyte named or who names himself Migi and his soul purpose was to take over his body but only manage to take over his hand. As the story progress we see Shinichi and Migi fight off and kill other Parasytes. If you like blood, gore and psychological anime check this out seeing how this is going to be 25 episodes

No. 2

Fate/Stay night Unlimited Blade works 

 While i was happy that Studio Ufotable decided to redo the whole Fate/Stay Night series(now get on Tsukihime) i kinda wasn't happy how it ended.  Yes emiya is no longer a master but it seem like Rin became super bitch to him at the end. For fuck sake Rin he just lost Saber to Caster! The series over all was good with good clean cut fight scenes and fluent dialogue and amazing animation. Im just kinda sad on how it ended maybe its cuz i JUST watched it yesterday and for the last episode to be a hour long i would expect more action and less talking. Still it was a great series.

No. 1

Zankyou No Terror

This one was probaby glossed over at the time it aired. Watanabe did it again with Zankyou no Terror. What stood out the most in this series besides Twelve death was the music which was a mix between a Uptempo Jazz soundtrack and a Indie Soundtrack. What i like most about this anime was how it was about two teens who grew up in a orphanage who grow up to blow up buildings all to send a message. After this anime aired someone did a post about how this was probably made to remember those who died in the project Unit 731 which was a bit of  stretch but semi-belivable if you checked out the anime. The whole LisaXTwelve thing they tried to force in those few episode is what kinda killed it a bit but when it comes to this plot it is very amazing and refreshing.

Is the order a Rabbit?

A slice of life anime basically if Aira and K-on had a baby in a Coffee shop. It's a cute show

Sakura Trick

 

Another Slice of life anime but it is a Yuri that focus around the budding relationship between the two main characters.

I hope you would go back and check out a few of these anime. What are your top 10 anime of this year?

and again Happy New year!

Gugure!kokkuri-san and Amagi Brilliant park Final Thoughts.

Hello everyone! Happy Holidays and new years is coming up, im just finishing up a few anime's that are ending this week and have already ended.

The first one is Gugure! Kokkuri-San.

This anime was about a elementary school girl Konohina who lives alone who manages to summon the fox spirt Kokkuri san but instead of scaring her like he was suppose to he ends up living with her along with a dog demon ,Inugami and a racoon spirt, shigaki. This show really doesn't have any real plot but each episode is good and funny. The main comedy focus if it isn't inugami trying to make Konohina his bride it's Konohina eating habits which is why Kokkuri san decided to live with her in the first place. She eats a cup of Ramen every day because she lives alone and side note you are going to want to stock up on ramen if you watch this show because you are going to find yourself eating them at some point while watching this show. Besides the comedy in this show this show also have western pop culture references. There is a class mate of Konohina name yamamoto-kun who basically is a alien and does the E.T finger point.

If you aren't into the comedy anime this is one you want to skip. There were some episodes that were lack luster but watchable. The last episode was a Christmas/New years episode which i though was a perfect way to end this series.  Overall  this is a anime to check out at least

Characters 9/10
Story 7/10
Overall 8/10



The next anime is Amagi Brilliant Park

 

Another Kyoani anime. The plot fouced on Kanie who was forced to help this struggling amusement park by fellow classmate Sento who works at the park. Kanie has to help the park get 50,000 before July 31 or every one in the park dissapears back to the magical land where they came from which was maple land. As the anime progress we learn that not only why Kanie has to get 50,000 before July. The owner who looks like she belongs in a different anime Latifa memories always reset August 1st because of a curse also because of a curse she is well over 200+ years old even though she looks 14. This was a another good comedy anime with a hint of romance and the drama was well placed. Each episode we got to see how Kanie handed the problems he had to deal with within the park with getting customers there and with the people who worked there as well.  This anime really ends at episode 12 but if you want to watch 13 its basically about Tricen going around the park trying to get ideas to make the perfect PV to promote the park.

Story 9/10

Characters 8/10

Overall/9/10

They could have ended it at episode 12. I really want to know if this is going to get a season 2 it seem like it from the way it ended.

That it for now Happy holidays and lets make 2015 the best year ever!!

Cross ange episode 10

This take place right after the event of episode 9. A quick run down of what happen in the last episode Hilda and Ange manage to escape making it to the land where the Non-Norma live. Hilda manage to find her mom who she was taken from long ago and Ange manage to find her sister and when she though she was saving her sister this happens

 

Rescuing the sister was a set up by not only the sister but Ange Brother. Ange is captured and is awaiting her trial for being found out for being a Norma

As for Hilda her Mother who she was taken from tried to act like she didn't remember her but when her new daughter who happen to also be named Hilda asked who was she the elder Hilda broke down the mom tried to diffused the situation but the Younger Hilda passed out when she saw the elder Hilda was a Norma. Hilda's Mom told her to leave and never come back and that she wish she never was born and how she was finally happy to have a child who wasn't a norma. So Hilda leaves and well this happens to her

So in 10 Ange is on trial. Her sister sylvia starts whipping her and blaming her for her accident, their parents death and being a norma. The brother just is sitting back enjoying it along with the crowd who still hate Ange for being a norma. Momoka pleads with everyone that Ange is still Ange regardless if she uses magic or not but that when the brother schooled her bu saying he used her to bring her here and if it wasn't for her looking for Ange they wouldn't be able to find her. This leaves Momoka modified. Ange soon starts singing the song her mom use to sing to her and everyone was so silent. The brother ordered Ange to death. All while she is walking up to be hang she keep singing but someone in the audience chants "hang her"  as they prepare the noose for her neck. It wasn't soon before she was about to be hung that Tusk or the useless guy from episode 6 shows up and rescues her and Momoka. As they are returning to the Norma compound  Ange ask who Tusk was because it was very odd he shows up there. He is the knight of the Villkiss and tell Ange to ask Jill(aka head bitch in charge) for more info.

As Ange and Momoka return to the Norma Compound they are confronted by Jill before she can even ask about Tusk ange is punched hard in the stomach by Jill and awakens in the Holding cell along with Hilda. Everyone is mad at both of them for even trying to escaping.  They are mad at ange for going back to her homeland knowing that the others have no where to go and the majority were born there and mostly Hilda lesbian lovers are mad at her because they though they were friends  but one of them the silver haired one figured out that Hilda was just using them.

Hilda and Ange trade stories about what happed to them while they were outside.

As they days pass they some what grow closer to each other and they soon talk about crushing the world that rejected them

The episode end with a jailed Ange singing a song which for some reason everyone could hear.
Well while this episode was interesting i could have done without Tusk. I mean it was cool to find out that he is a knight for the Villkiss but really what good does that do now?  Im curious to see if Ange will actually get revenge on her sister and brother and what is that silver hair maid connection to the brother judging by the few episodes she was in it kinda seem like she hates him but is force to work for him.

Me!Me!Me! Teddyloid Music Video Review

I love Teddyloid's music and after first discovering him after the Panty Stocking with Garterbelt OST i decided to take a look back to some of his other works.




That aside Teddyloid along with Daoko Singing the song put out a Anime PV for the song ME!ME!ME!
While i did enjoy the music in the video i did not enjoy the video it self.
There was too many reference to other anime hell there was a Evangelion reference within the first five minutes of the video.  The Video is Sexual and quite Suggestive and has a bit of blood in it but that didn't bother me. Also as someone brought up on Hummingbird.me that  there was also deep symbolic references that we as westerners wouldn't get because it was too much going on at once.

All in all i think this could have been a way better video if it was kept simple and not so complex and didn't use to many mecha anime references. The music is good the video to me isn't.

                                                          Yep this was in the video
