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.

Looking for some old anime to review

While im in the mist of watching the new aring anime im also looking for some old anime to review. Im at a point where i do want to take a plunge back into the past and see what are some good old anime titles so feel free to suggest some titles for me to watch BUT the must be at least a OVA or have 12-26 episodes. I WILL NOT REVIEW THE BIG THREE. You can suggest some movies for me to watch as well as i am in a movie watching mood too.  Titles can be from the late 80's through 2008. I will take the first 5 and if there is a few i like i might up it up to 10 depending how am i doing with the current running anime.
Looking forward to your suggestion .

Is Man-Service the new wave in anime?

                          




                          With the new release of FREE! from Kyoani and its display of High school boy in all their muscle bound body glory, this raises a good and important question will man-service be the new wave in anime? We are all familiar with fan service with all the breast and panty shots that are in anime hell there are some anime that are devoted to that (im looking at you Ikki tousen, Queens Blade and 90% of the animes that rely on it because they don’t have a decent plot) But in terms to Free! its a whole new spin on the fan service.
                         Free! was only suppose to be a demo KyoAni made to show how good they can animated water(and i guess how they improve on animating) but i guess the fan girls wanted to see MORE!! so a KyoAni obliged. The original penitent title was suppose to be “Swimming” Anime, which still can be(and to me and 95% of the people who watch it is) the title of anime seeing how the anime is about so far 4 boys starting a swimming club and one of them getting a boner and stripping when someone mentions the word “pool”. Getting back on point, it was during the demon where a small amount of man service  turned into a huge demand where kyoani made it into a full series.
                           A lot might bash the show because they might deem it to be “Gay” or “For the girls” but its acually it does has something in there for the guys …somewhat. Some might say Kuroko no basket was full of man service but im sorry and i know im going to get alot of hate for this they didn’t do it well. Free! is taking the long forgotten Man-service genre and bringing to the light and forcing people to look at it! Accept it! and Appreciate it!!
My question is will other companies follow suit? will they produce their own version of free! or some Man Service anime that might do better than Free!?

Is there too much "Fanservice" in todays anime?




Back in days of old in the late 80's up till the late 90's and i would even say some where in the 2000-2002 Fan service in anime was very very subtle. The most you would ever seen is  a bit of upskirt, a bra flash or even the obligatory bikini beach scene in every harem anime episode or semi nude girl in the hot spring in the obligatory hot spring episode. It really did take a lot back then to get little boys and peverted men to get riled up. Minimum fan service from their favorite character  and they had boners so hard  it would take a ice pick to soften them. Nowadays with shows like "High school DXD", "Ikki Tousen"," High school of the dead" and with any Harem show nowadays the fan servies within those show are so overwhelming that other shows are starting to pick up on it and relying solely on it for its success. Prime example:The Bakemonogatari series. In the Original Bakemonogatri seires the fan service was subtle so subtle it was overlooked by the plot of the show. When Nekomonogatari came around the fan service was somewhat noticable but then again the plot out ruled it. Now that the second season of bakemonogatari is out and even though it 3 episode in i can tell its just using the fan service to make up for the the lack of the plot or the slowness of the plot. I really hate when shows have to rely on fanservices for that and that what 90% of anime that are coming out are doing granted i know that bakemonogatari is a exception because i know they can pull them self out of the hole somehow but others when they know their anime is going to suck they flash us with characters with huge breast or give us ass shot. Half of these anime might as well be full on hentai.  "So i can't Play H" is a anime that might as well be a full on hentai. Today most of then industry feel that if their isn't any fanservice in their anime it won't do well and that isn't true. I miss the glory days when the fan service wasn't so "In you face". Where the fan service was a treat after a long dry spell of action, depression and clusterfuckery  the that when you get the panties and the bras and if you were lucky the naked chick now it like"why by the cow when you can get the milk for free?"


I don't know I just feel like today's anime relies to much on fan service.

Do you think there is too much or too little of it in todays anime?
