Anohana: The flower we saw that day Anime Review

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,

I didn't think I would cry about this anime. I mean, I knew it was sad. EVERYONE who knows about this anime, knows it's sad. 

If you don't know about this anime...

SPOILER! IT'S SAD! 

Just saying.

If you don't know much about the storyline...

It's about the white hair'd chick, Menma. She's dead. Yeah, dead. No spoiler there. You figure it out in the first 2 minutes. Only one dude can see her, Jintan. Jintan is the dude on the far left. 

Everyone in the picture use to be friends as a child until Menma passed away. After that, they drifted apart and Jintan became a hermit. >.>

Everyone thinks he's crazy and gets upset about Menma. 

But then they start to wonder if he really is telling the truth.

They decide to figure out what Menma's last wish was so that she can go to heaven. 

That's basically it.

Now you know.

So, I mean, it's sad. I knew that. I just didn't think it was going to make me cry. To be honest, I don't know if my tears were happy or sad tears. A little of both maybe?

There are some love triangles in this and some weird, crazy parts that make you think that some people need some mental help. >.< But it's actually a really good anime.

I'm not gonna say it was my favorite and I'm not going to say that it was retardedly sad because it wasn't. It had enough sadness to make me feel and enough funny parts to make me really love most of the characters.

I feel like there wasn't the same amount of time for each character. So, you couldn't like each one of them the same. 

Of course, the main story is more about Jintan and Menma so I guess it didn't really matter about the others... But at the end you kind of wanted to know more about the others because of how much Menma cared about everyone.

You just don't really know what these kids went through with her passing except for Jintan. 

On a side note... You just wanna hug these parents cause these are probably the most understanding parents I have ever seen. Seriously....

ART:

The art was nice. Some parts were pretty, flowing and just nice to watch.

The art in general is pretty normal?

Music: 

The OP is pretty catchy to listen to. I didn't skip it and I felt like it didn't mess up the anime. Like some songs just ruin the moment? This one didn't. 

ED song I didn't really listen to... It's one of those ... meh... songs. You know?

Tokyo Ghoul Anime Review

Well, Hello!

I'm sorry for the hiatus. I was very busy for last few months and I wasn't able to post much. Let alone watch anything. 

Good news is.... I'M BACK!

I'm pretty much settled into my new home and finally able to start watching anime again. WOOT!

ANYWAY!

First anime to watch in the new house... (Dun Dun Duuuun!!) 

TOKYO GHOUL, also known as Toukyou Kushu!

Well! Where do I start?

First episode... GORE! Right from the start. Loved it. Probably not for the feint of heart. I did not expect it to go the way it did to be quiet honest. When I first saw the pictures of the anime I thought it was going to start out with some crazy dude saving the world some how. 

(Btw, guys, I don't read summaries before I start reading or watching manga/anime. So this is really my FIRST look at everything.)

Each episode kept me very interested. Some had tears streaming down my face... Others.... *grabby hands* BLOOD! (Cause I'm a freak like that) 

I actually thoroughly enjoyed this anime surprisingly. Most of the time I want some type of romance in it but it kept my interests through different types of methods. (I love sad/gore/crazy torcher stuff too.)

The story in itself was rather interesting. The anime doesn't really go into details about how the Ghouls became this way or why they have the power that they do.... Which kind of leaves you trying to figure it out on your own. 

BUT! If you overlook that little tidbit and go on with the story then it's pretty exciting. Each episode gives a little information about almost all the characters, which is nice. 

Kaneki Ken, the main character of it all, really has to fight with himself through the whole anime. (If you watch it, you will understand why.) Plus, fight almost everyone else to stay alive. Some of the characters really annoy you at first and you just want them to go away until you see what kind of life they are living and then you really can't help but love them in the end. 

Unfortunately, the anime leaves you hanging for more. There are rumors of a season 2 coming out next year.

I, on the other hand, can't wait that long and like to spoil myself with the endings. 

AND....

I was let down by the ending of the manga. 

I hope in the end the anime gives us a little more information about what happens because unless you like cliffhangers then you will get really annoyed with this....

ANYWAY!

ART!

So, I thought the art was pretty nice. It's pretty standard quality. When the gore parts came, I was pretty excited to see how they would do it. They don't show to much but enough to make you understand what is happening. I love the difference in characters. It reminded me a little of Shiki.

OP/ENDING

I loved the opening song and how well it went with each part. It made me excited to watch each episode. Some anime just makes me want to skip right over the beginning song because it annoys me after a while but I loved watching the art with the music. It was very beautiful to me. Ending song... My husband liked it... It's hard for me to keep watching an ending song unless its something like wolf's rain song - Gravity. Or it has something catchy in the art. Other than that... I just don't watch them.

CAUTION:

This anime is not for children. This has blood, death and cannibalism. If you feint of heart please do not watch! Thank you!

I wasn't going to post anything more but...

Robin Williams just died and I'm really upset.
I think most people knew he had depression but I don't think anyone realized that it would come to this. I'm seriously holding back tears. He was such an amazing person and such a great actor.
I'm so sad right now. He will be missed so much.
You could feel the emotions in his movies and you would just fall in love with his characters.

I feel like rewatching his movies. :(
