Synopsis - Our lead character strips innocent girls to their underwear. (no joke) Noya Itsuki just transferred to Ebisugawa High School. Since he has always had a fascination with space, he decides to join the Astronomy Club. However, he mistakenly walks into the Asstronomy Club - a club whose members are all female otaku. Itsuki notices that the members are really weird, but he has yet to realize that he joined the wrong club. His life becomes very strange very quickly.

So here it is, I dont know what it was about Ebiten but it didnt appeal to me, hence drawing which is was Moe I believe, the big eyes did it. I dont know it just didnt hit me. However it wasn't so bad to watch when it became slow I really loved the comical parts too. There was a lot of saint seiya references which was amusing to me as well! It does alot to other animes too but its a nonsensical anime so it's all the more forgiving!

10 episodes for this is well worth it, I did enjoy it in that sense but its not something I would watch again or even refer to you guys to watch it unless you like it. There was a lot of nudity well and ecchi can't blame that, but it's kind of silly! I think the best series to compare this with is a Joshiraku minus the wordplay and with a ton of random fan service added. I dont think alot of people would mind this if you are bored and want something with not a lot of confusing parts this is the show!

I enjoyed the music and I really liked the ending song, I found that entertaining to sing too. IT was a whirling anime I stumbled upon but it's not so bad I guess i did watch it which tells you something...

Sakamichi no Apollon - Yuki Kodama

2013-03-25T12:50:00.002-07:00

Debut: April 12, 2012
Director: Shinichiro Watanabe
Studios: Tezuka Productions, MAPPA
Links: Official Site, Official English Site, ANN Entry

Storyline : A young classically-trained pianist who has recently moved in with relatives becomes unlikely friends with a boisterous high-school delinquent, who happens to be well-versed on the drums. His love of jazz rubs off on the aloof musician and through it, he begins to open up and make new friends with other jazz-loving players in the summer of 1966.

Amazing, I could not have thought this could be. I was at first eerie but the animation was definitly the high point of the show next to the music of course. The music is done by our lovely Yoko Kanno and a few others of course. The show starts of with a beguiling entry of the new student who embarks on a journey of loving Jazz and making friends along the way.

I couldn't have waited any longer to watch this, I'm on my two week holiday befor uni starts again and I was like ok I must see this. I heard such great things about the show and I thought I must watch it and frankly I was not disappointed at ALL! It was beautiful in its own way, the fact that I chose to watch this during my break gave me a feeling of calm and I really enjoyed it when i watched the show. It was the "In the mood" anime for me. I was surprised to see how fast the animation swung when they were playing the instruments it was awe isnpiring.

I liked how it focused on the brotherly friendship between Sentaro and Kaoru how equal they were, how sentimental one got bewteen the two and how loving it was. It was like a cute bromance to me and I really enjoyed the focus bewteen the two. It was slow but in a good way not a bad way I liked the focus points of how Sentaro and Kaoru communicated within each other and what to do. How playful and funny they were. It's even better with the trinagle and love problems, I really enjoyed Kaoru and Ritsuko's connection and intimate sides. They were cute although I did hope for Sentaro to get together with Ritsuko but I realised it wasn't the type of Anime to do that so I was clearly suprised.

Overall, the ending was to me somewhat sad and empty but in a good way. I loved how open it was and how even after so long they do get back together how close they get and even better the search for Sentaro. I thought he had no hope but he did and that's what got me so intrested what would happen next? I always though and I generally enjoyed the ending of the meet up, to me it couldn't have ended better. If it continued on with something else I would have made myself quit the show but it was well worth the watch, if anyone gets the time they should read the manga too slight difference but it's still good. The music is unbelievable blows my mind away im a good fan of Jazz when i heard this Anime is using it I was waiting forever for it. It never failed me I fell in love all over again that i got the OST on repeat. So give it a go when you can it's worth it.

Heads up to this beautiful Anime by Sentaiworks well worth it!!

More Marmalade boy?!!!

2013-03-05T11:14:00.002-08:00

More marmalade?! I'm not a fan of marmalade in general but having to hear this is making me feel excited!! I cannot believe there will be a sequel now! Yes people the manga about the dysfunctional family by Wataru Yoshizumi's romance manga Marmalade boy is bringing out a new sequel that will be set up thirteen years after the original!

I honestly cannot wait, one of the most truly amazing series I have ever come across off! The manga itself was amazing. To hear it will have a sequel i don't care who is in it, but I do love the fact that it will come back to me. It's one of those childhood memories that wished to see more off and it's coming true!!!

They said it is to be serialized in march 28th cocohana magazine! so people get ready for another emotional roller coaster with the mangka~ It was previously serialized on Ribbon (Shueisha) during 1992 ~ 1995, and it also received TV anime adaptation in 1994. There was also a live-action drama adaptation in Taiwan in 2001.

I can't express my emotions right now! Best news heard all day!

Valentines Day in Korea!

2013-02-14T14:56:00.000-08:00

So what is valentine’s day, valentine’s day is a day celebrated by couples all over the world by either celebrating together, confession or simply giving gifts to loved ones. The first association with valentine was with the Parlement of Foules (1382) by Geoffrey Chaucer, which linked to romantic interests.

Valentines is slowly approaching so I thought I would write something about it, considering it’s celebrated differently in many countries or not celebrated at all. So here I am talking about the beauty of love in Korea and how they celebrate it. Another difference between Korea and many Western (especially) countries, is that the gift giving is generally limited to unmarried people in their 20’s.

Compared to many countries such as UK or USA, valentines in Korea is celebrated in a modest way, example In Korea, the girls had to brave making the first move, one that wouldn’t be reciprocated in kind. At least, not until the next month in South Korea there are three red marks as to how valentines are celebrated.

The official valentine’s days are the day where the girls confess or give chocolates to the boys they like and making sure they finally express how they feel. This means taking a lot of courage to do this and not messing up.

Next is white’s day, which is placed on 14^th of march where the ladies now wait for the men to give them the perfected candies or chocolate, and hope they get the ones in return which also keeps everyone on pins and needles.

If the couples are visible in the open, there is a trend that couples wear the same outfits as each other to show off the relationship status they have aka the couple outfits.

We also have black day, on April 14^th which is the day where if no one is successful the men and women manage to get into groups to go a restaurant to have black noodles aka (jajangmyeon) it may sound depressing but to others it may not.

So unlike the USA or UK or other countries may verify the three day process for this lovely holiday seems excruciating with wait and impossibly daunting to some. So what do you guys think? Is it worth to say it on Valentine’s Day or is it worth just saying it at the right time?

For me honestly I prefer doing it when I know I am ready, but those who brave themselves to actually do it on a day filled with love and hope! Good luck to you! Best wishes to actually having it come true as well.

Just for fun I have found some lovely songs to welcome this valentine here are the list

Ra. D (라디) - Couple Song - Released in 2008 a very slow and magnetic song, good for those who probably like slow jams. Humming Urban Stereo - Hawaiian Couple - a Korean electronic group this song is very light hearted and very catchy. Clazziquai - Romeo n Juliet - taken from their album "Love Child of the Century". You will enjoy this if you are a fan of Alex or DJ Clazzi.

Kokoro connect - Sadanatsu Anda

2013-01-12T11:18:00.000-08:00

years : 2012 - sep 2012
season : 1
episodes : 17

The story involves five high school students, Taichi, Iori, Himeko, Yoshifumi and Yui, who are all members of the Cultural Research Club. One day, they begin experiencing a phenomenon in which they randomly swap bodies amongst themselves. As these five friends face many different phenomena at the whims of a mysterious being known as Heartseed, their friendship is put to the ultimate test.

I would like to begin this review by expressing, how awesome this Anime was. It was filled with so much that I can't begin where to point at what I loved about it. So here I will write a brief on how much this show has entertained me alot from start to end. The creator Anda himself is a genius for making a show based on feelings and such, it was another alternate version of body transfer (no not the hentai!) I meant in general, using three types of methods to bring out the heart is what made this show all the more bearable for me to indulge in.

Taichi - The main guy in the show, his personality is the caring and hero type of characters. He cares to the point where he wants to be their Savior as one of his friends call him "selfless freak" damn right he is. He isn't aware of alot but when his body switches happen and when he is sought out to be a target by the "heart seed" we learn alot about him and his persona in general. He is conflicted with feelings of love and is derived into thinking he should always stick with one but the heart seed had other things on his mind for this. I really loved him I think I generally felt a bit more happier when he chose the right person.

Iori - is probably the most annoying person, she really reminds me of minorin from toradora both also have similar views and voices. However it's clearly shown throughout the show she is the most traumatic girl in the group. Her feelings and intentions have messed up so much she doesn't know who she is anymore. The saddest part about her was loosing the one thing keeping her alive which was trying to find out "Who" she actually was. We later realise through so many ordeals that she finally slowly understood.

Inaba - is harsh and very solid, shes the toughest in the group due to unexpected situations. Her calm demeanour makes her seems very cool in others eyes. She is seen to be very cautious and even admits she cannot trust anyone. She has always been alone and has worrying tendencies and really speaks her mind at the most worst moments. She expresses not well enough with love and friendship but with anger which is seen all the time. She is in love with Taichi but she cannot explain why she wants Iori and Tachi together, it seems like if she went ahead she would be rejecting people and mostly loosing her friends for her habits and so forth. In the end I think she was the strongest of them and has probably been the pillar they wanted next to Taichi of course the ending of the Anime tells alot of what happens and I liked her outcome.

Yui - the second traumatic girl in the group after being assaulted she rejects all men, however with the body swapping it was shown how Taichi helped her out of her shell and made herself a bit more lenient towards the men in the group. She was a bit over the top emotionally and refused to come out alot and nearly made the group end but she learnt that she wasnt always alone. People was there with her and will overcome it, it seems like she does like Yoshifumi but couldn't express because of her androphobia and in the end it seems well to know that something came about her problems.

Yoshifumi - the most laid back characters and so damn in love with Yui, we find out in the show he loved a girl called Nana when she moved away. Reminding him of Yui but he realised even before then that he only loved Yui and still does regardless of her phobia and so forth. He really wants to become the pillar of support for Yui and always leers at her and confronts her about it even after being rejected by her, he is hilarious. We can tell when heartseed turns Yoshifumi into a kid who mistakes Yui for Nana that Yui didnt like it and it irked her, she promising him that she will make sure he knows who he was, does kind of indicate a little something between the two.

Overall : It was on of those shows where I have to really think sometimes, to me Kokoro connect wasn't just about joining hearts together. It was going deeper, as in finding out what made us love, what makes us angry at the other person what love it. What friendship is and how hard it is to maintain together with alot going in. It was about expressing the desires and what was in her hearts deep down and switching bodies and minds and feelings made them all realise a little more about themselves. Bringing them closer and actually understanding the feel of pain and so forth, jealousy, love and even humour. There was a particular bit that always makes me laugh which was Taichi revealing to Inaba that "he masturbates to her" which made me snort so loud! which meant he fapped with the other members to! Inaba in the end whisper's to him "I masturbate to you" seeing Taichi's face was so hilarious I was giggling away she was such a tease I really loved it! The music in the show was dramatic, sweet and fun! There was this weird Indian style drum playing whenever the characters was up to something and it made it even more funny to watch it went well. So if I was anyone I would totally check this show out it was so worth it, it made me think about myself alot and see if I actually had a personality disorder or something or just in case mental. IT was enjoyable and something I wont forget so get checking!

likes : Story, characters, design and music
dislikes : not to sure yet! (get back to me on that please :)

A TROLL REALLY EXISTS! Could a big bang member be one?

2013-01-01T05:08:00.000-08:00

SBS GAYO DAEJUN!

Am I the only one who thought Daesung brought the troll back or was the troll? This amused me so much to think he looked exactly like it made me giggle uncontrollably! I mean I love Big Bang but this has got to be the most uncanny looks I've seen! Except of course Daesung has small eyes not big ones like the trolls.

But the hairstyle is the same right? and NOT NAKED! Well this was a amusing post to me. I hope everyone enjoyed there new years and this made you think WTF? at least well to me it was jokes hope it was for you too. Remember when Big bang dressed like the Angry birds? Well not that I dont doubt they want to look like Smurfs next or something! IT seems like Big Bang has a thing of looking like cartoon characters which isn't so bad for artists.

A New approach, A New year and a New concept. Well done Big Bang one couldn't have been more prouder than I am now!

Excuse me now while I go cough out my dreary old humour ~

Samurai Deeper Kyo - Akimine Kamijyo

2012-12-29T17:39:00.002-08:00

Alternative Name: Demon eyes kyo
Genre(s):, Action Adventure Comedy Drama Ecchi Fantasy Harem Historical Martial Arts Mature Romance Shounen Tragedy
Author(s): Akimine Kamijyo
Status: Completed
Volume(s) : 38 Volumes

At the dawn of the 17th century, at the end of the era of civil wars, in a world of chaos, the epic Battle of Sekigahara was joined. One man emerged from the largest battle ever fought on Japanese soil; a terrible warrior of unspeakable power, he was nicknamed 'the unconquerable.'
Kyoshiro is a peaceful medicine peddler who harbors the soul of an assassin. He accompanies a young bounty hunter across Japan in search of a murderer and on a quest to discover the terrible secret of his own identity.

Where would I start oh yes! What an AWESOME MANGA! I can't express how much I literally loved this Manga! The Anime was so and so but this Manga was wow the only tsundere relationship I loved bewteen Kyo and Yuya there was that small element of love and romance there which was super cute. At first I thought might get boring but nope it entertained the shit out of me was so amazing the fights to the plot, to the characters betrayal to the enchanting deviousness. I really enjoyed reading it I couldn't put it down.

To me, this has to be the most complex and long and people with short attention span might not like it but honestly it's so good. Remarkable piece of work! Samurai story about friendship, finding the truth and strength, and the true meaning of happiness. There is plenty of enthralling and really beautiful sentences coming from the characters while they're fighting in order to find the true meaning and purpose of their lives.

The characters are all so memorable and everything especially our two main! The most magnificent thing is the bond between Kyo and Kyoshiro, and Yuya. Kyoshiro who is gentle, protective and warm person, but also unstable and likely to do something wrong while trying to help, and Kyo who is cold, wild, and aloof, seems to actually be quite wise, witty and rational when it comes to his comrades and even enemies. Yuya's and Kyo's bond is something that will keep us, girls tense all the time and i love the playful nature Kyo has with Yuya. You can tell he really likes here and everything!

Yuya is a fallen character in the show bewteen the two mains. Her brother is the main culprit for the Manga and of course she was a witness to it. Unfortunately it doesnt show well in the Anime so the Manga did the job for us. Honestly one of the best things I read so far, when I finished it I felt so sad I loved shounen as much as anyone else and this gave me everything in one! Although not so much romance but in the end we do see something beautiful and I loved it!

Also Benitora and Akira really make me giggle so much and they have a thing for Yuya too! But they are really amazing! All the characters are but they have a little special place in my heart! But you have to admit once you read Kyo you will think how awesome he is but when you see Kyoshiro you realise who actually is the strongest bewteen them two. The battle of the two finally ends with a bittersweet twist!

So get reading, best to read when you have nothing important to like I did! Really is enjoyable!

Kaikan phrase - Mayu Shinjo

2012-12-28T18:35:00.005-08:00

Alternative Name: Sensual phrase
Genre(s):, Comedy, Romance, School Life, Shoujo, Smut
Author(s): Mayu Shinjo
Status: Completed
Volume(s) : 18 Volumes (17 + Special Volume)

Sakuya, the lead singer for the hard-rocking band Lucifer, is the unattainable object of desire for millions of hopeful women. Aine is the demure high school student who suddenly finds herself in the middle of a raucous rock'n'roll circus. Together they're writing the book of love — one hit song at a time!

So here is another Anime, Manga I completed a long while back but forgot all about. I love this Manga and I love Mayu Shinjo, although not everyone loves smut so unlike everyone I am weird and I enjoy it. I really loved the plot to this and it seemed different compared to the Anime I was more interested in the Manga. The Manga showed off a more mature and dramatic approach rather than fluff, Mayu always seems to make a dramatic turn in her Manga which are never ending.

They are all endearing and I dont think it's a problem, although one of the flaws for me would be they have a weird style of illustration big boobed small body and fat heads. It's kind of weird watching or reading it but not so bad after a while. I mean you get used to it, the characters are all well thought out and each have a own kind of connection to the main. It's a Manga filled with a lot of emotions and seems to vary with each chapter I like the outcome of each of them. Although it seems it's more about sex for some awkward problem. IT does kind of get irritating but dont let that stop you it's a good backstory for it. I really do love Lucifer as a band in the Anime and Manga!!!

They actually made a real band out of it and I was head over heels with them still am! I got all their songs you must check that out! They are very much awesome and suit the image well in the Anime and Manga. They each have a role in it and they seem to play it so well that they seem overwhelming sometimes.

Another awkward part is the "sexual violence" I'm not a fan of that! But the Manga does have it and it's really weird seeing that but it's something I like to disregard. The main is a crybaby she is the main lyricist to the band but it helps to know she gets duped easily especially for love I mean I know her parents ignored her and all but it's a bit troubling to know she prefer relationships like that. I just think each of them have issues but they can sort it out, well they do in the end. But overall don't let it falter on reading or watching you will enjoy it if you got rid of everything stupid. Also Λucifer Makoto is supperrr hot!!!!

Akuma de Sourou - Takanashi Mitsuba

2012-12-28T07:41:00.001-08:00

Alternative Name: Devil Beside You
Genre(s):, Comedy, Romance, School Life, Shoujo, slice of life
Author(s): Takanashi Mitsuba
Status: Completed
volumes (s) : 11

High school is difficult for most kids. But for Kayano, a shy girl whose single mother seems to work all the time, it's even worse than usual. She's so afraid of drawing attention to herself that she can't tell the handsome Kamijo how much she loves him until one day she finally gets up the courage to write him a letter confessing her feelings...

Now this bad boy of a Manga consists of 11 volumes and boy was I happy with it all. IT was an amazing read for me! I was so enthralled by the slice of life in this story sometimes it hurt me. I mean normal high school girl who can't seem to get anything right ends up falling in love with her so called brother as their parents are married. Although they were together before they got married so it doesn't exactly mean it's incest or anything! I really loved Kayano as a character but she was at times too much of a cry baby I wasn't sure what to think of Takeru as he was the devil in disguise but he openly cared for Kayano regardless however it was really sad to see her suffer for him. It was emotional to read I really loved the art to it, I mean it showed it off so well I was in awe!

The characters are memorable, so much turmoil in this love story it's really not cliched or lovey dovey too much. I think it shows it off in a very mature manner. It goes through the stages of Kayano and its wonderful to see her aches and pains also regrets and her heart beating love when she looks at everyone. It's wonderful and I think it's one of the best manga for a long time, I loved the 90's style to the characters so melodramatic to me. It shows a different characterisation with the outfits and hairstyles they have pretty awesome with the illustration.

Flaws: "characterisation is so strong, it's amazing but then deters as the journey goes along" devices and constant, sappy, unbelievable love-triangle intrigue and other soap-opera conflicts. Takeru stops being a devil quite quickly, obviously, and there is little humor to be found.

But the ending to the story however is sweet, I wish there was Anime on this would be so awesome! Everyone would love it! I think the drama hit the spot though, it was good enough to eat although not a fan of Rainie yang as I was as a kid but she did surprisingly well for the first ever drama I watched of hers! I mean DEVIL BESIDE YOU was the first drama I watched to get into Taiwanese now I can't get enough of it! At first I found it weird but i loved every second and HELLO Mike He! ;) now that guy is what I call all round hot! He has the sexiest smile ever I think thats what triggered me to watch more, i'm glad I gave it a shot was worth it.

The Manga is worthwhile too! So when you have nothing better to do remember to check this Manga and Drama out because you wont be disappointed!

Pitch Perfect - Jason Moore

2012-12-27T17:19:00.000-08:00

You're gonna get PITCH slapped!

Well that was a fail pun there? But it amused me. Excuse me while I laugh at my own joke there, hold on we going to do that later let me explain how much I did enjoy the movie.

Pitch perfect came out with a whoa for me. Why? Well lets say half of the characters in the movie shocked me with their notes and vocals. I knew Brittany Snow was stilla good vocalist hence the hairspray scenes. Anna Camp I didnt expect to sound so good but she amazed me, and Anna Kendrick had this feel good country vibe voice to me, her rendition of "CUPS" had me putty in her own hands.

The movie started off a bit different, it was set to the time where Anna Camp had vomited on stage and had unfortunately made herself a laughing stock. Hence where the "Trebles" come in what a silly name but it made me giggle none the less. These are actors who use own body as a kind of backseat of the songs. Which by the way is clearly genius and shows of the talents that people can muster really acoustically of course I'm no magician when it comes to music. But hearing these guys in the movie made me all jellyfied! They sounded extremely well!

The girls get reformed again and here comes Beca aka Kendrick. She really doesnt look like a 27 year old to me that still surprises me. She really does look like a high school kid I mean ever since twilight I can't think of her as a older women is that wrong? Ok moving on she has this nice but funny sounding voice that makes the song sound good which is different. It's a cross between country and a bit deeper I dont know I can't explain well. But its a voice to be called unique I mean the way she sang in her audition int he movie showed her lack of enthusiasm, her goal was to move to new york and become a DJ she entered the college cause of her father agreeing to join clubs and show she can do well. Here she meets Skylar, who happens to connect with Kendrick through out the movie, their difference and weirdness mingles so well. I really liked it mind you Skylar himself sounds AMAZING! So to say the movie just made a bit of love with me and music.

The movie continues on to the finals where they need to beat the "Trebles" as a all female group they wanted succeed and lets say they do in the end. It was one of those feel good movies! ALSO we have to love Rebel Wilson here! She is a GENIUS!, I think I love her! she amused me in the movie so much I was giggling to myself she made the movie a bit more worthwhile although not the best it was one of those movies we could watch over and over again. IT was definitely Pitch perfect for me I mean really harmonised and didnt sound so weird or anything it was really good to watch.

So to say if you have nothing better to do and you think you want to watch a movie like this or not just give it a go! It wont hurt you of course if your the type to complain about time and so forth don't bother with it. I mean it's a worth a movie to relax and like the music to, I am a huge fan of Rebel so I watched it for her but I ended up loving all of them one by one with the voices and so forth.

TED - Seth MacFarlane alongside Mark Wahlberg

2012-12-21T16:50:00.002-08:00

Ted is the story of John Bennett, who, as a young man, had no friends. One Christmas, his parents gave him a gigantic teddy bear, and he made a wish and poof comes TED!

So here it is, the long awaited TED! I was so stoked when I went to see this. It's so amusing I loved it although not the best and the jokes repetitive it had a little meaning to it. I really enjoyed watching this it made it all the worth the penny. I loved Seth Mcfarlane's voice the creators of Family guy amuse me so much. IT was entertaining and had me giggle. I loved the acting and I thought they couldn't have portrayed more of a movie well.

I was thinking that some bits were a bit stretched out. But it was still worth a watch and I enjoyed it. I liked Mila Kunis in this it was a true test of friendship and all sorts in this movie. I found it hilarious how they kept getting stoned all the time. And a Teddy bear er. *ahem* with a sales clerk? Really? is it possible??? the way that Seth McFarlane brings his skill as a writer and voice over out of the world of cartoons and into live-action movie making is beyond me he is a serious GENIUS!

And, of course, we can’t forget Seth McFarlane doing Ted, a less-stupid version of Peter Griffin as the teddy bear’s voice. With a CGI character, it’s really up to the animators to get the right facial expressions for each line, and I think the animators did an excellent job with Ted, I loved every minute of it.

So All in all the movie made me really laugh. I loved Seth's voice and I love Mila Kunis as well with her whingy MEG voice but i was worth the watch. Cause it's sometimes things you see, I thought the ending was so damn sad, I mean right at the end of it they finally realise how they mean to each other. Although whoever hasn't seen it should be shot, It's a amazing movie with a lot of cursing and everything This is an R-rated movie. It contains pervasive cursing, pervasive drug use, some sexual situations, male and female nudity, off-color and occasionally borderline-racist humor, if you’re into that sort of thing, this is the movie for you. So make sure to watch it with a intensive face and humour ready to go!

I wish I had a Teddy to come to life, we would be just like TED! I honestly think I would have loved to live a life like that. It would be non stop fun and everything, could a wish like that come true?? IF only this could be real enough and cast a wish. I loved how the plot was different it was something nice to watch in the 2012 of the year. I liked how it wasn't typical or cliche so round of an applause to the genius creators for making something so close to my heart.

Magic Mike - Steven Soderbergh

2012-12-21T15:34:00.002-08:00

Magic Mike! The plot revolves around Adam, a nineteen-year-old who enters the world of male stripping, guided by Mike Lane, who has been in the business for six years.

Mike Lane (Channing Tatum) has big dreams but pays his bills through a series of odd jobs, most notably performing as the star stripper at Xquisite Strip Club. The club is owned by Dallas, (Matthew McConaughey) who has dreams of creating an "empire" of strip clubs.

So here comes MIKE! Honestly speaking I was really excited for the movie because Channing was in it! But WOAH! it's weird because I wasn't sure how I felt after I watched it. I mean it was loosely based around the stripping scene Channing lived in. However it was also about a young kid who goes into a really gruesome business of showbiz by stripping for cougars earning dosh. And get getting whacked out on drugs which is not cool. I loved the chops in bewteen all of this movie, I enjoyed the funny quips and lines they brung to the table, it was slightly dark and everything but we could recollect a lot from the movie in a way.

I wasn't sure what else to feel, I mean the dances was just soo epic! I mean hot all around baby, I loved the remixed music to go with it Channing was absolutely AMAZING! He showed of skills but I liked how he faltered when Adam's sister Cody horn by the way >>>

came and snapped him down saying he was a 30 year old stripper doing nothing. It was a serious blow to the ego the man saved up so much and saved the other kid although he took responsibility it showed a real mature content within the movie I thought.

Of course not a lot of people will like it, I enjoyed it as in a real sense to me on what not to do when I am older. Although I am 21! ha! but it was a nice to see what other people around the world do and why. There is always a hidden story a lack of emotions there too. But I honestly enjoyed the ending it was a real surprise to me, I was thinking wow he did all that in the end? Can you believe it. I dont want to give to much away but I wonder what you guys thought of it? I mean Channing and Alex are very much real good actors especially Matthew the owner who ended up being false and all and loosing the best dancer and everything. In the end it was all down to the person to see if they wanted to continue or not.

I do wonder what you guys think? For me it was a ok movie possibly watch this when I am bored or on a rainy day with nothing to watch. It wasn't worth the money but it was worth for a preview at least. I also want to say my new girl crush is on Cody Horn she is sooo hot and cute!!!

Itazura no kiss - Kaoru Tada

season : 1
episodes : 11

The romantic comedy story, a high school girl named Kotoko finally tells a fellow senior named Naoki that she has loved him from afar since she saw him on their first day of high school. However, Naoki, a hottie "super-ikemen" (handsome male) who is smart and good at sports, rejects her offhand. Fate intervenes when a mild earthquake ruins Kotoko's family house. While the house gets rebuilt, Kotoko and her dad stay at the home of her dad's childhood friend...whose son is Naoki. Naoki eventually falls for Kotoko and started to have romantic, protective feelings for her.

Ever felt an Anime that came so close to your hear that made you wish that you was that character? Well this is how I felt with this Anime. I wish i was kotoko, I wish I lived like them in the series. When I heard the Anime coming on after finishing of the drama's I was ecstatic. I really anticipated it and it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling after I finished it. I never wanted it to end but it did but it was one of those cliched ones that had to end without going overboard. I really enjoyed the illustration to this Anime it was a very rounded but cute style which made the show a bit more appealing to me, the hairstyles were weird though but dont let that bother you.

Kotoko - dense, sweet and very ambitious! I love her and I think she is adorable! Her character is such a failure cause she is a klutz but her grit on loving one guy is so amazing! I thought that was so lovely to see and accept and its how Irie fell in love you could tell. She is empathetic and so sweet its melt worthy. She truly loves Irie and would literally do anything about it.

Irie - fails at human emotions, can be a dick and also very intelligent and arrogant. However bad he is he seemed to been bewitched by our lovely Kotoko with her effortless charm. He didnt gain any emotions until they were bound together and his parents are just one cause after another. He does love Kotoko and fails to show it so many ways however when he does he does it slyly. He regrets alot of things but he really loves teasing Kotoko and making her jealous however knowingly he ends up being jealous when she does it unconsciously by spending time with a male nurse.

Overall : It's an Anime to watch when you want a light and sweet romance. It's cliched but a good way I feel bad that the Mangaka died I wish she made more but it seems like this was effortless and so beautiful. It's a memorable Manga in my eyes ones that I would always love till the end. I probably watched this a million times, when I feel like a romance mood this is the best! It never fails me and it's so lovely to see the characters interaction with each other its so nice. I like the jealousy and intimacy the emotions that blast out, honestly one of those shows to remember. Of course I saw the Dramas to it, and the Taiwanese one did drag on but it was AMAZING! so if you havent checked them out do so! It was so funny as well the music was even better because the lead is a singer but she doesn't show that side which is amazing. I also saw the Korean and Japanese and it didnt par up to the Taiwanese because of the comedy style so it's a must.

Oda Nobuna No Yabou - Mikage Kasuga and Miyama-Zero

Suddenly finding himself in the Sengoku era, average high school student Yoshiharu Sagara is about to be killed on the battlefield. He is saved by none other than the man who would later become the respected Hideyoshi Toyotomi, but at a cost of the latter's life. With the course of history altered as a result of these events, Yoshiharu tries to make things right again. Yoshiharu, however, is surprised to discover that the people he meets, the places he encounters, and the historical events he is dragged into are somewhat different than what he remembers from his favorite Sengoku era video game - Nobunaga's Ambition. Yoshiharu soon discovers that, in this version of the Sengoku era, Nobunaga Oda does not exist - instead being replaced by a young woman named Nobuna Oda who holds his position as a daimyo. Yoshiharu begins working under Nobuna's command, who nicknames him saru , with hopes of correcting the course of history and finding his way back home to the present-day world.

When I read the plot to this, I thought oh my god this will be stupid. But it wasn't in fact it was so fast paced and on to the point I was literally out of breath. I was watching with intent eyes. If no one knows about the sengoku era, check it out. Has to be an awesome history lesson! I learnt alot by reading books and evertyhing on this era so I was familiar with it. So if anyone wants a very intersting reverse role historic Anime make sure to watch this you won't be disappointed. In fact it was bubbly and very much intruiging to me how they ploted all this out.

Nobuna - the main lady and leader of this Anime. She is wild and brash she is seen as the fool of the whole thing. They dont think she can handle making queen of the whole nation. In fact they have so much doubts but in the end she tends to prevail all the outcomes with great responsibility. (Not quoting spiderman here) but like I said she is very much interesting. She has a great sense of justice and is very bold! She has the sex appeal and everything as well. I really enjoyed watching her and her life is a topsy turvy until Saru comes along that is.

Yoshiharu - Transported from his era to the era where Nobuna was..Overwhelmed the first opening scene of his was what made me continue. It was hilarious with his little ipod making sounds before it runs out of battery scaring the life out of him. He ends up being saved by Nobuna but it's clearly seen everyone thinks he is a seer but he isnt. I love the twist to this whole persona of this guy and he is very dedicated and really interacts, he played the game so many times he knows what happens each turn. So he persuades Nobuna in so many ways although he does get them into trouble too but he is the kind who will take risks to save someone.

Overall : There are many characters I could write about but to me the main are always the ones I will focus on. I really enjoyed this Anime it was filled with spunk! I enjoyed how it was so twisted that it left me satisfied with the ending too. Of course I wanted more I found this very amusing, I wanted to know how he will continue the journey and everything I'm pretty sure a second season will help us further. The whole main of the show was how Nobuna got her lands etc. She is a wild beast with her sword and power she is strong willed and stubborn. I loved how she gets along with the others but shows her tears when it becomes too much. She is what I loved the show, the other characters are hilarious they made me giggle alot and I loved how Yoshiharu was at the end of the jokes, to me this was a really good Anime. So if anyone wants a twist Anime with reverse roles in history with cute girls instead this show is definitely for you. So get watching if you havent!!

Natsuyuki Rendezvous - Haruka Kawachi

2012-12-21T07:54:00.000-08:00

years : 2012 - sep 2012
season : 1
episodes : 11

A young man named Hazuki decides to work at a flower shop after he falls for the owner, Rokka. Unfortunately, Hazuki can see the spirit of Rokka's dead husband, Atsushi, who has made a point of sticking around and interfering with any relationship Rokka may find herself in. What Atsushi didn't count on was being visible to Hazuki.

This is one of the most beautifullest shows I came across, I read the Manga and when I heard there was a Anime adaption to it. I was even happier! The show primaliary focuses on three characters and I enjoyed that, rather than having a bunch for this type of plot it was just three. I can't express how much I thought this was going smoothly, it was a show that passed all the cliched moments but then at one turn gave us a small surprise. I was really enjoying this and I absolutly loved the concept and age differences to the show itself.

Rokka - The lady with dark hair and blue eyes, she is probably the most cutest boss I have seen. She is the owner of the flower shop and is a widow now. Her husband is Atsushi they have a lovely history and it seems like her main focus was on "letting go" and "loving" someone again. And along came Hazuki who literally is head over hills in love with her. I love her personality she is dainty and very cautious. She is lovely and all she wanted was to release some pain and when she found some love again she worried and remembered alot from the past. I thought her character really define her in this Anime, the way I expect a flower shop lady to be I guess.

Hazuki - The man with the long hair and literally (stalks) Rokka. He ends up working for her and she is clueless that she doesnt know Hazuki loves her until one sudden day while eating food he blurts it out. She is of course is shocked, there is a age difference but in this show. It showed that no matter how old, or your preferences widow or not you can still find love unexpectedly. And this is where Rokka late husband felt threatened by Hazuki, because Hazuki is pretty straight forward, quiet and very much shy but he does alot when he wants to reveal he likes someone. He also smokes which is an added thing. He and Atsushi head to head go and try to win or gain affection from Rokka. Until Hazuki ends up lending Atsushi his body which makes a turn of events last longer with a lot of pain.

Atsuishi - The ghost man, he is somewhat bound to earth because of Rokka. It seems like he was going after her in such longing, it was was hard not to feel sorry for him. He is selfish and very clingy he doesnt want Rokka to forget him, and we realise one of the reasons why in the show later on. Because in the final episode it all makes sense as to why he never left Rokka. It was clear that he loved her with every being and felt guilty of not letting her go even now, but Rokka was adamant to staying together until of course when he passed away. To me it was so real and very emotional to see such sweetness in these adults due to a flower shop which made me tingle. He used Hazuki's body to manipulate the idea but he also wanted to see her and touch her one last time although it didnt last long because eventually he had to go. We can believe that in the final last scenes of his we gather he has finally let go after the deaths.

Overall : It was so poetic to see such a blissful Anime. I absolutely loved this! It was done in a nice pace and a lovely illustrative style which I will never forget it was so cinematic to me. It was a show that we know we can re-watch when we think about it. I found this to be entertaining and emotional, because some could relate to losing someone and getting them back as well as finding new love. I honestly could not express how beautiful it was that it was based around in a "Flower shop". To me flowers have so many meanings that it connected in each episode and we gather the likings of characters with the shop itself. I loved the characters and the music blended in well with the situations, I can't say what I hated yet but I will find something. But if you haven't checked it out you must do! If the creators never created this Anime I am sure not a lot of people will have read the Manga and may overlook it. It's not your typical love tragic story it is somewhat cliched but it has a softer touch to it.

Dislikes : not to sure yet. (to be confirmed)

Binbō-gami ga! - Yoshiaki Sukeno

Ichiko Sakura is a 16-year old high schooler who has always been pretty lucky throughout her life. This is due to her body possessing an extraordinary amount of Fortune energy, which draws from its surroundings, causing the world to fall out of balance. To rectify this, a God of Misfortune named Momiji is sent to the human world to target Ichiko and steal her Fortune energy in order to rebalance the world.

I dont think i was every happy with a slapstick Anime like this. I know there are load out there better of course but this didnt fail me at all. I really really loved this! I liked how each of the characters had a bent of flavour with the show. That to me was good, I loved the main girls in the show to me that was flawless. For a comedy I loved the episodic format to this I love the one continous scheme for the Anime and how it continues but with more funnier.

Sakura - Is the most fortunate girl in the show, her attitude stinks she is a fraud in front of her peers. She lacks friends but makes up with appearance and money. But she is the most caring character she is too outspoken but each episode she seems to grow and that was the main point of the show and Momiji tries to show her that not everything goes her way. I enjoyed her comedic reaction and actiosn with Momiji and the side characters she has a lonely childhood but it's shown she is accoustemed to it and stronger. She tends to usually win at everything!

Momiji - the poverty god, although she is god she doesn't look it. She has a huge bandage covering one arm and hair that covers one side of her face. She is amazingly funny as a counter partner for Sakura although she never seems to win which is the irony. I love it! Her character is possibly amazing to me her actions surprise her and make her lose. But her attidude helps Sakura in so many ways that makes the girl grow although she tends to lose out on so much money

Overall: I loved this show, on a dry spell day I would watch this. I would also be up for slapstick humour and entertained through out. I thought it was funny in other aspects to, but it all depends if you enjoyed it or not. Mine lies on the fact the characters even the minor ones blended in so well of the show that I was aware of what went on, I loved how the creator used the characters when and where and how Sakura learn her lessons with life. It was amusing and very colorful. The gags are repetitive however it's possibly what makes the show. Don't let this review from not checking it out, it was worth the watch. They said there will be another season I really loved the preview of it although I'm not too sure it will happen unless they surprise us! The illustration to me was perfect to me it was clean and smooth looking.

likes : Characters, songs and consistency and the plot genius!
dislikes : some gags are random, on board with humour and repetitive

Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero - Tetsuto Uesu

2012-12-20T16:26:00.002-08:00

years : 2012 - sep 2012
season : 1
episodes : 12

The story follows an international training organization named Babel which protects the young people returning from another world. A wayward hero named Akatsuki has come back to his world from a world of sword and magic called Alayzard, along with a beautiful girl called Myuu who is the Demon King's daughter.

when i saw that they were bringing out an Anime like this. I thought ok I will give it a shot not like I was doing anything. So I thought hey, I will sit back relax and actually watch it without worrying about anything to do with my uni. I read the story to it, although it wasn't appealing to me, the art was and did appeal to me. I was quite glad about that, I mean regardless if the story was pointless for me the illustration would make up for that lack. SO rogue hero it was indeed, I would like to point out that it was fine the story was fast paced and it didnt make sense at first to me becaues there was so much nudity. I felt like I was watching soft porn, but it was nice to see a very obnoxious leader in the show.

Akatsuki - obnoxious, know at all but very kind, also a pervert. Is proabably awesome in the show only because he has no magic powers whatsoever. He is good looking in the Anime with colour but not so with the Manga to me. I really enjoyed his quips and the way he handled bullies, he rarely shows any love signs with anyone but he did make promises to the first lady in the first episode. He is very much aware of what he does and doesnt do, but he seems a bit lost when it comes to Myuu due to her unexpected emotions. I really do like his laid backness but dont like his lewd problems.

Myuu - the leading lady, brash and very soft which is like a total opposite for her counter identity of being a demons daughter. She is wanted back in Alayzard a place where she is the demon queen. But since Akatsuki dragged her to babel posing as his sister it seems like the chase is over. However that doesnt conclude the story it keeps going on, but it seems like she is very troubled all the time thinking if she hates the man who killed her father or not.. WE do manage to find out she actually is fond of him very much. She is big bosomed and very much aware of it and hates it. But what she wants mostly is a pack of friends which Akatsuki comes to help for and she couldn't thank him for it but she seems to show it differently.

Overall : I enjoyed the show, I feel the show could have progressed more and a bit less nudity or something, it seemed to me it focused on the boobs more than the story. The ending of it was quite different I liked that! I enjoyed finding out everything and seeing the true colors of each characters. I liked the harmonizing and all, but we all can guess that it was one of those "junk Anime" to pass by. It wasn't the best of the Anime's but it was one of those watching one time ones where you said I watched it thats it. But dont let this review deter you, this is your chance to see if you like it or not. My opinion I enjoyed but it lacked so much more if it was developed a little more often.

likes : Animation, music , characters
dislikes : Story, not enough progress with action

Tari Tari - P.A. Works and Masakazu Hashimoto

2012-12-17T17:29:00.000-08:00

years : 2012 - sep 2012
season : 1
episodes : 13

summer season 2012 anime series Tari Tari that configures itself as a slice of life story revolving around the life of three high school girls and two high school boys.

For me this has got to be a wonderful slice of life story I came across. It was refreshing to see the concept around it which was mainly focused on "music". It was a very warm show with a lot of emotions thrown around the place where we understood everyone's pain's and gain's.

Although it primarily surrounds all the kids, it's more or so focused on Wakana, Konatsu and Sawa. We gather by the first episodes or so that Konatsu who loves to sing and dance and was a sub for the choir is adamant on making music with a group. It's one of her dreams and it flowed through there.

Wakana - Simple, scared and possibly confused. She is not sure about music as her fellow classmates and possibly wonders how and why should she join through the series. I love how it took forever to get her to join and once she did we realized how good she was.

Konatsu - is a short chibi girl! who loves to sing and dance and is also the older sister who likes to blackmail the younger one. She amuses me, not just for her but I think what she did was not find her own passion but also found others as well. She makes me laugh when she calls the new student "Ween"

Sawa - big bossomed and the star archer. She joined in with Konatsu with the singing to help her, she is sweet and very much caring. Her mother is a babe who loves to surf and they both are quite similar in many ways. Her mother was also good friends with Wakana's.

Taichi - Is cute and very funny, he is the only one who plays badmintion which is something different for me. He is hardworking and can actually sing! He helps out Konatsu so they swap roles and end up having 5 members both ways for both clubs clever thinking!

Atsuhiro (Wien) - Is a returnee from overseas and his name is German. What a funny name but he is really bubbly and cute! he loves to make friends to me he reminds me of a small puppy he makes me giggle. He is obsessed with Super Sentai and is in the after school club with Wakana.

Overall : The members eventually join forces and end up making a group to be reconized for Konatsu's hard work and Wakana's music talents. There was that backstory of Wakana on why she didnt want to join and we find out it was because of her mother. It's a lovely soft story with all the right emotions for me. It was one of those nice summer Animes to get my eyes on and I was glad to watch it! It's a defo watch for those who like light hearted Anime!

Joshiraku Rakugo Girls - Kōji Kumeta and Yasu

2012-12-15T18:33:00.002-08:00

^{years : 2012 - sep 2012
season : 1
episodes : 12

Telling the everyday lives of five young female rakugo comedians. All of the girls' surnames end with the character Tei, which is often used in stage names for performers.

Ok so before I begin, this was a short Anime I watched and it was really weird for me. The only reason it was weird was because for all the girls there was one girl who was always naked and that irked me. I mean each scene was a humorous one not so funny but funny enough. But she was always naked and that was really awkward for me to watch cause comedy isn't about nakedness is it?

Besides that it was clearly given that the show was loosely based on a stage, so the characters were all one before they did anything and managed to stay in one line to do this. I liked the show it was different and something I wished had a bit more impact on me but it didnt so much.

Marii - The main character she is the red haired girl who speaks in a male tone and happens to be the naked person too. But people think shes a boy which is quite funny cause she is so flat chested. But that is what is amusing to me. I enjoyed her she was a bit eccentric but good enough to enjoy.

overall : I dont think this is a bad show loving the usage of satire, I just think it will be hard for non japanese people aka me and probably others to understand the difference of the words they do speak in. The jokes are very hard to get by and sometimes you will be confused or maybe not. There is that weird cultural barrier and so forth but that doesnt make a problem or anything. It is a bunch of cute girls doing weird comedy skits. But it's an Anime where you probably can learn which I possibly did, it was entertaining and smooth. Honestly though I really did enjoy watching it, it was funny the ones I got though it's so experimented. The illustration is so bloody cute!

Kono Naka ni Hitori Imouto ga Iru - Hajime Taguchi

Abiding by his father's will, Shougo was transferred into Miryuuin Academy where many young girls attend. It appears as though his younger sister, separated from him at birth, also attends this academy, and that she is trying to get closer to him without letting him know who she actually is. At the same time, Shougo becomes popular with the other girls as well.

To me the show had a awkward opening, and then I wasnt appealed with the story at first but it gradually got warmer for me. Which isn't so bad but it took me time. I mean I couldnt seem to get into it? It was filled with lots of girls here and there what more couldn't you like? it was just hard to process where it was going, all I knew was the girl knew who her brother was from the start and was playing hide and seek with that. It's a nice but cliched story for me with a bunch of girls it wasn't so amazing.

Shougo - He realises he has a younger sister and has met her randomly at the funeral except he never saw the face so he doesn't know who it is. He gets the attraction from the ladies and he is super rich as shown in the first episode I thought he was really sweet, although the value point of the story was nice how he is still pure and stuff. I don’t see him as charismatic as much as he is cool to some extent but his build will get by.

Konoe - to me she seemed really dense, but she was a nice character to have opposite Shougo, she is literally sweeter than pastries and is actually a cream puff lover! It seems like she gets a lot of the attention we do wonder if she is the sister as in the first episode it is seen she has dark hair? The harem of this Anime is beyond me!

Overall : If you are looking for something of a ecchi comedy this is your show! It's junk Anime I wouldn't say its much more than that. It's short and self explanatory so it's not much delve deeper into. The only thing I really loved about it was the Strong belief in purity before marriage. I enjoyed the animation and the music so plus point but it's not something I will re-watch again. The manga is still ongoing so I hope something happens in there and the visual novel too!

La storia della Arcana Famiglia - HuneX

2012-12-15T08:20:00.003-08:00

years : 2012 - sep 2012
season : 1
episodes : 13

There is an organization called the Arcana Famiglia, which protects the island of Regalo. The Famiglia is made up of people who have made contracts with Arcana cards, and have received special abilities due to this. On his birthday celebration, the "Papa" has decided it is time for him to retire and give up his seat to a new male who has control over an Arcana. To decide who in the "family" gets this seat, he calls for a tournament, called the Arcana Duello, between Arcana-users. To the winner, he promises the "Papa" seat, a wish of the winner's choice and his daughter's hand in marriage. Refusing to accept this, Felicitá decides to fight to choose her own path, with her friends Liberta and Nova fighting for her freedom by her side.

I'll do a little intro by saying how this is game, and was adapted from a visual novel before released to a PSP as a game. It's an amazing show one's i will give thumbs up too! I loved every minute I watched of this, the plot to the characters to the voices. They were amazing, I loved the begining of the Anime and hated how the lack of episodes ended the series too.

Felicita - Warm and very passionate. Extreme bad ass, has a great figure is the beauty among the men and the target. She is a bit less on the Anime side which is weird because she is the main of course. Her connection to the guys are lovely and simple they are all wanting her attention and do care for her alot like she does. She has two cards insdie her the lovers and the wheel which is what probably makes her a tough target, she reads people's heart to find out who are bad or not. Plus point but it can get dangerous sometimes with this. The wheel changes fortune of the people she meets which is harsh and good.

Liberta - The fool, and possibly the dense one well there has to be one. He is the second main he cares for Felicita alot and you can tell. He gets squashed alot by her with her breasts and he finds it embarssing. His words are powerful and are the power of his body. He usses a sword well and his foster father figure is Dante.

Nova -Is stuck up and very awkward he is also Death card. He doesnt know how to make friends but it's clearly shown that he literally admires Sumire! It's shown so evidently, he doesn't show much care for Felicita that much but it's there he has the tough love for her. He is not so honest with his feelings until Liberta and him duel it out, it's shown they want to help Felicita as much as possible, he does has a little trauma going on here and there which explains alot. And he is the cousin to Felicita.

Debito - The most awesomest guy ever! he is the Casino helper, he is the card the hermit. He can get invisible when he can. He has the most sexiest voice in the Anime. And it stays in your head so many times, he has one problem with his eyes and he is very sensitive about it, he does want to be closer to the boss lady Felcitia but he knows he is no match. The last episode with him and the battle was hilarious.

Pace - Tall and very much loveable. He is the strength of the group. He loves lasagna and his cameo is literally him eating it not paying for it either. He is the trio of the eldest ones and close friends with Debito, Luca. He cares for Felicita you can tell but he deeply is concerned about the others more.

Luca - The guy whose voice is adorable and suits his image so much. He is amazing he carries the temperance card and the marks on his tongue. Which by the way looks kind of kinky for some reason. He is Felicita butler and looked after her since a kid so he is very protective of her he can also do some alchemy.

Dante - Mr baldy, he carries the emperor, he can manipulate memories. He is very strong and he loves Liberta dearly as well as Felicitia, he is good friends with her father. He owns a ship and usually travels the sea, he makes these weird jokes here and there which is funny.

Jolly - the most awkwardest person in the show, he has the moon card which lets him forcibly get out someones memories. He does alchemy and is very sneaky, the end of the show he is used as a helper and we also find out that he has been with Mondo for so long.

Overall : Well this is the army of Felicitia's future life and her fathers current. I loved this show except it lacked more episodes it should have been called one duel. Because there was just one duel and it was won by default to. It wasn't so epic but it was worth a watch I anticipated more but it was a disappointment in the end. I wanted a bit more action but it was more based on the trio and Nova's parents and Liberta's memories I wish there was more background on Luca, Debito and Pace would have been cool. But overall the music to the animation was just great! I really liked that and it was worth the wait and watch.

likes : music, voices and animation
dislikes : lack of episodes and character background

Strobe Edge - SAKISAKA Io

2012-12-14T18:28:00.000-08:00

Alternative Name: Strobe Edge
Genre(s):, Comedy, Romance, School Life, Shoujo, Drama
Author(s): SAKISAKA Io
Status: Completed

Having no experience in romance, the vibrant Ninako curiously explores the meaning of what "love" really is, and is surprised to feel a colorful range of emotions as she grows closer to the school heartthrob, the quiet yet gentle Ren, who also happens to be involved in a longtime relationship. With every intention of keeping her head held high, Ninako prepares to face the mental pain of this one-sided love that she had allowed to take root, facing a series of trials that would either contribute to her growth as a headstrong woman, or break her as it did with other girls.

I will start of by saying how much I love Sakisaka Io! she is a true goddess! she made this story to be made out so beautiful! I really loved every part of it, why? Because to me this was deciphered as realistic as possible well close enough. One sided love and unrequited love couldn't have been described and illustrated so well in any Manga until Strobe edge came along. This is by far one of my ultimate favorites Manga. I read this about a million of times because the sensitivity of the Manga due to experiences like Ninako has kept me reading it.

Its a slow and layerd Manga with so much love and questions. I could be biased on this however the reason why I could hate it is because the second guy never gets the girl. It was cliched! But who doesn't like cliches? I found it weird when the characters always ended up knowing each other. THAT! is one thing I want to get rid of in Manga's. Sometime it gets a tad bit annoying to see characters saying "Oh I went to school with him", or "I was his previous girlfriend". In this case it was one of her friends sister who happened to move away came back as Ren's girlfriend. Which was a peak for me, I didnt like Ninako's naivete. But I honestly read the Manga for Andou he was just literally perfect for his imperfectness. He was just so amazing to me. However he was a side character not a main so it fell on Ninako and Ren.

I don't hate it, I liked every bit of it. It made me feel emotions so it was a cute story with a added boost on the illustration of hot guys. I enjoyed that I liked the art I am an illustration student I looked at the lines and strokes and I fell in love with it! However people might just complain it's slow, cliches and so forth.. This is just my opinion. I liked it i fell in love with it I hope people will get past it and just read it and enjoy it. I feel the mangaka made a lot of effort and I liked how long it took for the main characters to come together in the end although the process of it was harsh but hey that's life. *spoiler* The trial and tribulance of love! Wish it was an Anime though would be hardcore right now! I'm guessing she did this with her experience? seem's like teenage love drama to me!

Also what is with the name Strobe Edge? It seemed me drag me in when I read it the first time. We know separately what it means right. But to some it up for myself Strobe to me means "intensity", the mangaka did just that for me, it was intense in a annoying way it was filled with intense drama. And the Edge was the "The point at which something is likely to begin" which for me was the unrequited love that blossomed later on. So for me this Manga's name actually made sense with the Manga.

So get reading people, a Manga for a winter day warm and loving!

Power aka girl got game - SEINO Shizuru

2012-12-14T17:48:00.000-08:00

Alternative Name: Girl got game
Genre(s):, Action Comedy Gender Bender Romance School Life Shoujo Sports
Author(s): SEINO Shizuru
Status: Completed

Kyo Aizawa's father is a basketball devotee but has been forced to quit playing his precious sport because of an injury. Instead of himself working his way up to the NBA, he feels that Kyo, his daughter should fulfill his dream. To give Kyo a good start in her career of basketball he enrolls her in Seishu High School which is known for two things: its extremely cute girls' uniforms and their boys' basketball team. Not only does unhappy Kyo have to pretend to be a boy during the day (the basketball team members all live at the school to boost the team spirit), she has to do it day and night. The super-star of the team, Chiharu Eniwa, may be a good-looking, basketball champion, but his attitude towards Kyo is hostile from their very first meeting. Poor Kyo ends up roommates with the evil Chiharu. As they get to know one another, both sense that the other has a secret.

The fact that this reminds me so much of she's he man, I mean from the games to the dorm. I can't express how much I loved this Manga. It was short and simple with what we girls needed you know what I mean. I just loved the fact that it can't be a copy of she's the man because this manga ran back in 92, i is now 2012. It's been a while huh? Dont get me wrong I really love both of them so don't mistake my love for pointing out who copied who. I just loved the idea Power!! is actually a Manga!

It's enjoyable, humorous and filled with the light heated love we need. Aizawa is a funny character in her bones and she knows when she can be a girl. Although every character faces trouble this gender bender is pretty awesome, she isn't dense or stupid she is hardcore and I love that. She does end up revealing who she is with Chiharu but the general chemistry between the two where there which is what we want to enjoy it. I loved the use of basketball in this how she works her ass off and everything, using Chiharu's head as a stepping stone hilarious! being short has it's purpose right?

Overall, great Manga to indulge in when you have time! Well worth it! The only problem for me was the ending it left me unfinished if that makes sense I wish there a bit more on it. It has over the top humor but it's still nice to remember it that's how I did. People may have a problem with the designs but don't let that affect you it's still pretty awesome. If you like sports and humor mixed in one with a little gender bender this is the right Manga for you.

So get checking when you can and tell me how it went.

Campione - Jō Taketsuki.

2012-12-14T17:03:00.001-08:00

years : 2012 - sep 2012
season : 1
episodes : 13

Some people find religion, but for 16-year-old Godōu Kusanagi, it's religion that's found him! As the result of defeating the God of War in mortal combat, Godōu received the position of Campione, or God Slayer, whose duty is to fight Heretical Gods whenever and wherever they appear and start changing things to suit themselves, usually at the expense of the people in the area.

So I just finished this recently thought I'd write about it or i will forget. I really did enjoy it in a weird sense why, well he plot was something different well every plot is. But this used the sense of mythology and can I just say how much I loved mythology! It's amazing what the creator made out of it in a Anime sense. Although this is a novel rather than a Manga, I think it would have been better
explained if i was a Manga. Images work well with me especially as something complicated as this.

Godou - the god slayer, a pushover espcially when he see's big boobs. he is slightly dense but more aware of the fact that girls do like him or should I say "wives" he clearly thinks Erica is a tease an plays with his feelings until the last episode (spoiler) but! the way we found out he was a god slayer was nice, he was returning a stone tablet for his grandfather to someone in Italy. At that point he gains Verethragna's 10 forms and manages to control them with a unique activation. He gains information by kissing which is lewd but hey it's Anime for you. Erica is a sole culprit to that side, she does the kissing part alot. He is a kind and very compassionate person but he gets really shy when girls hit on him which is cute.

Erica - The badass shield for Godou and the girl who kisses him continuously to activate his other side. She is strong and very manipulative and pushy! I love that about her. She is straight forward and she is loyal with a lot of care. She really does care for Godou however he thinks she is a tease which I could understand from his point of view. She is a blonde beauty from Italy, and is very open about her sexual side which freaks Godou out alot. I like the reverse roles on this, she only allowed one other person to kiss Godou however it ends up with three other girls who also activate the other forms for Godou. She controls strong magic and can sometimes fight with the gods which is awesome.

Overall : This review is just a small snippets of what I got from the Anime. It's up to you to decide whether you like it or not. I really did enjoy it, the reverse ecchi roles and the story plot. Although with the lack of episodes it faltered with the plot at some points it was so hard to understand the only thing I got was he kissing? Well not so hard to understand but it was just off track I think with more episodes it would have filled in the missing parts and made it more adventurous. I loved the illustrations they were nice! and the soundtrack too not so bad could have been better. Of course if there is a second season I will not hesitate to watch it was a good Anime to think about watching if you haven't. Give it a go, I think it will be explained and laid out better if there is one.

likes : Story, Illustration
dislikes : better soundtrack, maybe insert songs?? lack of episodes

I will leave with some songs, make sure to comment your thoughts :)

Kouku debut - KAWAHARA Kazune

2012-12-11T17:59:00.001-08:00

Alternative Name: High School Debut
Genre(s):, Comedy, Romance, School Life, Shoujo
Author(s):KAWAHARA Kazune
Status: Completed

When Haruna Nagashima was in junior high her life consisted of playing softball and reading comics. But now that she's going to high school, Haruna decides to put all of her energy towards getting a boyfriend and having the high school romance of a lifetime. To help in her quest, she enlists cute upperclassman Yoh Komiyama to coach her as she eschews her jock tendencies and turns herself into the kind of girl who can catch a guy. Yoh agrees, with one catch: Haruna had better not fall for him!

Can I just express how much this Manga means to me! I literally fell in love with everything in this manga head to toe! I cannot deny how awesome it was and how much it brought me to tears at some parts. It's the most funniest and caring things I have read. The leading lady Haruna is bold and very much amazing! her character reminds me of me a little! had no clue towards fashion except she wants to find love I dont! but this is where Haruna meets Yoh you know the typical shoujo stuff and all, dont let it keep you away! It's one of the greatest moments he avoids her! Until she of course jumps him at one point and asks him to help her and everything. Due to some circumstances he agrees which is now where fun begins!

This shoujo is a typical shoujo! it's a light hearted comedy romance which gets you tingly all inside and all. I found it mesmerzing at how nice the boys in the Manga were and how cute Fuma actually is!! Except Yoh's sister ain't so cute at all looks can be so decieving, although i like her confession on loving her boyfriend because Haruna had a go at her. Which was awesome! I love how in control Haruna is and how sweet and naive! It makes me smile how she tries so damn hard to achieve everything she is also an awesome softball player sometimes it looks as if she is the man and not Yoh.

The connection between all the characters are great and soft! I loved hers more with Yoh of course all the screaming shoujo fans will love it! The way the express and get shy around each other is what made me giggle with joy! It was simple and joyful and well everything you need in a shoujo really, so what more do you want?

Its worth giving it a read I think people will enjoy it. It's something I would like to own one day the whole volumes its humorous and memorable! It's a favorite of mine and I hope you guys enjoy it too. I did watch the movie! i wasnt too keen on it but they cast did a wonderful job to play the leads and I thought it was worth a go to watch and it was. I was disappointed but not so much! I wish they made a Anime out of it! The illustrations are sooo beautiful to me! Although they do have big lips which is weird but the style and layout of it *swoons* awesome!

So give it a go and tell me how it went :)

Dopey ~
