Sailor Moon Crystal Season 3 (Spoiler alert if you haven't watched it or read the manga)


I have to say, I really love the way they made this season. They took out the CGI transformations and made the art 10x better. I really enjoy watching this season. I hope they redo the first a second season transformations so that they look like this season.
Michiru and Haruka finally show up in this season and the scenes between them and Haruka and Usagi are so cute! Haruka and Usagi aren't my top OTP, one true paring, in this anime but they sure are cute in this season. I couldn't help but squeal when Haruka kissed Usagi. It was absolutely adorable! 
During the older version of Sailor Moon, I really couldn't stand Chibi-Usa. She was a spoiled brat and didn't respect anyone. So, when I started watching this series/season I didn't have high hopes for her. She already got on my nerves because of my preconceived thoughts on her. I have to say though... She has grown on me and she is much better in this season. She isn't as spoiled and she acts like an actual normal child. I can actually see her as a daughter of Usagi's instead of some spoiled child that randomly came to "visit". She is much better behaved and I enjoy watching her.
Chibi-Usa finally meets Hotaru in this season. As of yet, they still don't know she is Sailor Saturn. (By the way, She is my FAVORITE sailor scout. I absolutely love her! <3 father="" her="" meet="" p="" professor="" tomo.="" you="">
On the newest episode, Setsuna, A.k.a. Sailor Pluto, shows up and everyone is wondering why shes there. She was obviously reborn because she had to remember who she was. That was quickly solved when one of the bad guys attacked with flowers that sucked the life force out of her.

Let me get to the gist of it, The season makes me SUPER happy. I really enjoy watching it and I love that they took the CGI out. I really couldn't stand it. The transformations and attacks are SO much better WITHOUT the CGI.
  I don't care what anyone says. CGI is awful in anime unles it's very subtle things. 
This seasons songs are ok. They aren't my favorite.
I really recommend watching this season!

Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha Anime Review


Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha.

I thought this anime was SO CUTE! I mean, seriously, so cute! Of course, knowing me, I don't read the summaries. I just dive right into an anime. :P 

This anime is basically about a girl named Inari, who goes to an Inari shrine all the time. She makes a wish and she meets the Inari god, Uka-sama. Things basically turn into a little bit of a mess and she has trials and tribulations with continuing to do things with godly powers. Plus! Learning about new friends and love.

I personally think it's a really good anime. It's more about learning how to overcome your own fears and stand up for yourself, learn to be more confident and know that a true friend will always be there for you.

HOWEVER! There are a few things that bothered me at the very end... Such as... How her brother can see gods? What happens to his relationship. What happens to her friends relationship. (You will realize once you watch it and I'm sure you will totally ship it! Cause I DOOOOOO!) 

OP music is pretty catchy. Kind of reminds me of Kamisama Hajimemashita. 

Art is pretty normal. Nothing to special.

Gokukoku no Brynhildr Anime Review



Gokukoku no Brynhildr.

So, this anime was interesting, to say the least. The OP/EN music was pretty awesome. I definitely wasn't expecting that type of music for this anime. 
The story, kind of, reminded me of Elfen Lied. Although they are similar, they are very different at the same time. 

The girls in this show are witches and the dude is just a regular human. The witches escape from the lab they were torchered by and the lab is looking for them. Each witch has a special ability.

The boy is just a regular human, like I said. When he was a child, he had a childhood friend, who he was obviously in love with, that died. Then he meets this witch that looks exactly like her. 

It's basically about them and some other friends, witches, trying to stay away from the lab. 

The story was pretty good but a LOT of things were left out by the end of the series. 
For example...
His family.
Her family.
What happened to (Can't tell you details because it would ruin it, sort of ?) the girl she was fighting at the end?
What happened to the girls at the end?
One of the main girls memories?
How did one girl still live without her 'mechanics'.
Did they cure them?
Did they get medicine?

WHAT IS GOING ON!!!! JFISJSAOIJDISAJKSA


So, if you completely just skip over all of that and more and just stick with the main story then you will be alright.
I just like knowing back story....There was none of that here.

But all in all, it was ok. 

Be warned... It has it's perversion in it. It doesn't really show anything though. Just be warned that you probably shouldn't watch it around kids. Just saying.

The art was rather pretty though. It wasn't anything special but it was nice.

I did watch this in 1.25 days. It's really short but I was pretty addicted to finish it.
So although it had it's flaws, I enjoyed watching it.

Update and anime review in one! :D (Anime Review - Pandora Hearts)


Happy New Year to everyone! I hope 2015 will be better than 2014!
I got to spend Christmas with my family, which was really nice. :) I got my hair done while I was down there. (Much cheaper than where I live now) I also spent some time with my friend and seen everyone at my old job(s). I miss it because I miss my friend and family but I don't miss the weather. 
I'm curious as to what this year will bring. I hope it is fun. 
Also! I got a new wig! I was thinking about making a review for it. :3

Anyway, on to the anime review!


Pandora Hearts

So, if you like strange twisted story plots about Alice in wonderland, then you will like this! Of course, it's the same(?) characters but different. This story is very difficult to describe but basically Alice is looking for her memories and her 'knight' is Oz. A boy who needs to find himself and find the reasons as to why he is who he is and why his father hates him. That is as simple as I can put it.
I have to admit, I watched it until episode 17 and then skipped right to the ending. (Episode 25) I was very interested in it until episode 17 because I wanted to know what was going on but since it was basically getting down to the nitty gritty, I figured that everything was going to happen in the last episode like it usually does. NOPE! Everything I figured out was basically true and then didn't really solve any questions. I feel like this anime was a very big waste of time for me. I enjoyed it until the very disappointing ending. 
I do have to say to read the manga though. The manga is ongoing so more information should come out. 
There isn't going to be a season 2 from what I have read so it's rather disappointing to watch but just to be able to see the art and color of the anime is nice.
Op/Ending.
The opening was ok but I just thought the ending song was much better.

Hotarubi no Mori e Anime movie Review


Hotarubi no Mori e is.... a big blubber of emotional mess .....................and I loved it!
It's just one of those anime that makes you say... There has to be SOME way around this.... 
If there is magic, there is a way!
Oh yeah... Let me give you a little summary for this or you will have no idea what I am talking about.

This little girl, Hotaru, goes to her uncles every year and she gets lost in a forest and meets Gin, a spirit of sorts. He says he can lead her out but she can't touch him. So what does she do? She tries to touch him. It's very cute, to be honest, since the first time the meet is when she is 6.
She goes back to her uncles every year to see him and she gets older and he, obviously, doesn't. 
You can tell she loves him because while she is at home all she thinks about is him. 

I'm not going to keep going with the summary because I feel like i'm going to ruin it. 

So my point is.... It makes you have a bubble of emotion that just bursts out at the the end and leaves you empty for more.
I WANT MORE, DANG IT! T^T

Watch it!
Do it!
Now!

That's all I have to say. 
I'm sorry this review sucked but I can't say more than that. 
Just do it.

The Garden of Words/Kotonoha no Niwa Anime movie Review


I'm just going to get straight to the review.

So, I've been wanting to watch this for a while. Mostly for the art because of how amazing it looks. I mean, seriously... check out amvs or something if you don't want to watch it but the art is BEAUTIFUL. The detail. The color. Everything. Wonderful. Yes, one/two word sentences explain everything.
The story was really cute. I'm glad it was a movie. I don't think I would have watched an entire series for this. So, I'm pretty happy it was just a movie. It didn't need much back story to it and it was a very simple version of a drama. Somethings things did bug me though. Such as the way he never asked for her number or anything and the ending wasn't my favorite. But it was enjoyable to watch because I wanted to find out what happened between them. 
There really isn't much to say about this movie because of how much detail it lacked in the story...but you get most of it just by looking at the picture above. 

If you haven't heard about this movie, here is a little summary...
There is a boy who wants to become a shoe designer who skips school in the mornings to go to the park to draw sketches. He meets a lady there who is drinking beer and eating chocolate. They start to hit it off but he still knows nothing about her. He finds out somethings and then that is where the dramatic stuff comes into play. 
I don't want to say much more because if I tell you everything you might not watch it.
But if you don't care for the story, watch it for the art because that's what drew me in, in the first place. 
Seriously.
Watch it.

Red Data Girl Anime Review



Red Data Girl is a 12 episode anime. It intrigued me to watch but was a bit confusing. I feel like you have to know a little about Japanese historical events or myths. I don't have very much knowledge to those kinds of things as much as I would like to though. But you basically get the gist of the story when you are watching it.
The story is basically about Izumiko Suzuhara, a girl who lives in a very distant shrine in the mountains. She can't use electronics because she always seems to 'break' them and there seem to be people who are after her for her powers. She wants to move to the city and become like a normal girl but she has no confidence in herself or anything. She then meets Miyuki Sagara, (The boy next to her in the picture.) one of the guys who protects her son. He's rude, mean, and has to protect her. 
She finds out that she has a himegami inside her. A himegami is sort of like a spirit god thing that is very powerful. Which is why she needs someone to protect her. 
Anyway, Things go down and she goes to a school in Tokyo for people who basically have powers to see spirits. It doesn't really go into detail about the school. 
There she meets her roomate/friend and her twin/brother(s). (Watch it and you will understand what I am talking about.)
There you see what she has to go through to hide her real power.

Ok. In all honesty, this anime didn't go into any details about anything really. You get to understand the story but you have nothing behind it really. Miyuki seems more bipolar than anything and you just get really confused by how they act. The things they talk about in this anime doesn't really make sense and that's why I'm guessing you have to know a little history/mythology of Japan to understand it a little better. 
A lot of things seem to be left open and not many things came up in this anime. I mean, it was a nice watch but for the most part... a lot of things popped up without an answer for me so I was a little disappointed in the ending. 
I feel like there could have been an awesome backstory behind it if they took the time to make it but they didn't and we were stucking hanging. 
Besides all that, It was really enjoyable to watch and I finished in about two and half days/three days tops. 

It was based off of a novel and also has a manga so I might have to read those to figure out what I am missing from the anime. Maybe I will figure out what the anime was hiding from me. ;) 

Art was pretty normal. Nothing to fancy about it. My favorite parts were when Izumiko would dance/sing. It was very pretty.

Opening and Ending songs. They seemed like old and new music converging. It was nice but not something I would listen to often.

Oh! Also, Please don't forget to watch at the end of the episodes. Some episodes have an ending past the credits and it converges with the next episode. So if you skip it you will pretty confused on the next episode. >.<

Kyoukai no Kanata/Beyond the Boundary Anime Series Review


Kyoukai no Kanata.

Basically, It's about demon/spirit/monster/things,Youmu, and demon hunters called Spirit World Warriors. Only Spirit World Warriors can see Youmu and are the only ones that can kill the Youmu. That's the concept anyway. There are four main characters... Akihito Kanbara (Akii), Mirai Kuriyama, Mitsuki Nase, and Hiroomi Nase. Then there are the main two characters. Akii and Mirai (the two up above). 
Akii is a half youmu, half human that can be very powerful if he transforms into his youmu half...Who is also immortal. Mirai is a very special SWW that can control her blood to do basically anything she wants. She mostly uses it as a sword. She is the last of her clan and she's basically an outcast because of her powers. 
Although, Mirai is a SWW, she can't kill youmu and since Akii is immortal, he lets her practice on him until she is able to kill a youmu. Then it goes into the trails and tribulations between the two and you find out a bunch of crazy stuff at the end; plus the reason as to why it's called Kyoukai no Kanata and you're like.... Whhaaaaat????
This anime took me a while to watch, in all honesty. 
It was a good anime but it was really hard to keep my interest. The story seemed really interesting but the progression was kind of boring. 
There are only 12 -actual- episodes and then there are some side episodes and mini theater episodes. The side episodes are cute and worth watching if you like idol types. I really liked their song and dance. xD The mini theater episodes aren't really worth watching. 
Although, I wish they had used some of the side stories or made more episodes to help us understand the back story of Akii and such. They just kind of left me hanging with no information as to what happened and why.... 

The art.
So, I really liked the flow and color of this anime. It was really nice. It's actually one of the reasons as to why I wanted to watch it. 

A little video from the idol special. :)

Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii Anime Review


So I watched this one a while ago, also. 

Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii is basically about bringing two kingdoms together.  The Sun kingdom and the Rain Kingdom. (I know what your thinking and I agree.) Basically, it's about how Princess Nike, from the Rain Kingdom, has to survive in the Sun kingdom with King Livi. (seriously, what's with the crappy names?) It's a pretty good anime as long as you get away from the part where King Livi is like... what... 10 or more years YOUNGER than Nike? And you can clearly tell he has mommy issues. You can tell he is trying to find his mom (who he calls by her first name... which is weird. He also dreams of her in weird ways.... Idk. It doesn't really go into 'to' much detail....) in her. 
Eventually, you start to see them really falling for each other and what they have to do to stay together. 
It's a pretty short anime but its refreshing to watch if you have been watching a lot of governmental/overthrow the government type anime, such as Akame ga kill. 

A little more about the two main characters. 
So,  King Livi is basically a 'ruthless' king, although he doesn't look like it. He is very grown up for his character and at times you forget that he is so much younger than his wife.... That is, until you see a faraway picture of both of them... Then you just kind of want to laugh because of how small he is compared to her... But in all honesty, you enjoy seeing their companionship towards one another.

Princess Nike. Well, She's pretty cool. She has powers over wind and rain so she could kill a bunch of people if she wanted to... She doesn't do that, of course. She can make it rain by singing and I really liked the parts when she sang. I wish she could have sang more than one song but as it was... It made sense to keep it to one song.
She's a very nice, funny girl and fun to watch. You enjoy her from the beginning because she isn't just your normal princess. She has her own thoughts and she isn't afraid of saying what she thinks most of the time.  

I really hope there will be a second season because it was very enjoyable to watch. 

Art was alright. It isn't very detailed or anything but I like the small differences in each person. 

Music.
The opening seems like something a girl in her pajamas would start blasting and singing/dancing around with. xD Silly, I know. It's not bad. :)
Ending. I actually enjoyed the ending a little more than the beginning. I don't really know why. haha.

Hiiro no Kakera Anime Review


So, I watched this one a while ago and I thought I would make a review on it. (Plus it will help me remember that I have watched it already. xD) 
Hiiro No Kakera is based on a novel/otome game.... Which is why there are a bunch of dudes and one girl on the cover above. 
It's basically about a priestess to keep evil spirits away/bad people from the special objects of her ancestors which holds great power. The guys around her are her protectors and they all have certain powers in them which makes them transform into these half youkai (demon) people. (Which look pretty hot if I do say so myself. :P) 
I have to admit I was hoping for more of an in depth story with this anime but of course.... It's from an otome game concept so what did I expect? All in all, it wasn't a bad anime. Just wish there was more to it. I did enjoy watching it. It had enough entertainment to keep me from straying off.

For the art.
The art was really nice. Very 'glossy'. Which I like for these types of anime.. :P The flow was normal. Colors were very nice. 

Music.
I am STILL addicted to the first beginning song. The second beginning song was nice but it wasn't as powerful. Still pretty though.
Ending songs were ok. Mostly skipped over them because I didn't care enough. They didn't keep my attention very long.

Akame ga Kill Anime Review

Akame ga kill starts out pretty quickly. A dragon (that doesn't look like a dragon... more like a giant bug) pops out of the ground in front of some passer-bys ,and then the main character, Tatsumi, comes and slashes the dragon's arm off and chops it down. Just kind of an 'ok then' moment. He's some arrogant, naive 'little' boy who wants to make it big. (He kind of gets on my nerves a little, at first.)
It does change into a gruesome anime, though.
Basically the anime is about a revolution that is going on with the kingdom. You find out about these assassins called night raid. (This next sentence isn't really a spoiler but just in case, thought I would let ya know. It happens in the first episode so it's not really a big spoiler.) Tatsumi decides to to join their little group. You basically see how cool they are with their fancy magical weapons and everything.
ANYWAY!
With the very first episode, you feel bad for the kid. At least I did. :/ Some things go down, I'm not going to ruin it for you if you do decide to watch it...
Each character has their own personality, of course.  The other main character, Akame, is probably just like you think. Cool, calm, distant. The usual. Most people like those types anyway. It makes it a bit more interesting. There are the other characters but Akame is probably the one you want to know the most about since it has her name in the anime. (But to be honest, I don't really see how it's about her. Yes, she's in it but it is more about Tatsumi than anyone....)

It does have it's comic relief though. So, if you're not really into the complete overly dramatic anime... It has your little smirk in it here and there. Nothing overly laugh out loud.
It doesn't start getting really interesting until episode 6. It's very hard to keep interest in it until then so be patient. It took me forever to force myself to watch each episode. Once you do get to the interesting point, it's worth watching.
The fight scenes are my favorite.
It stops at episode 17 and it seems as if there is going to be a season 2. Either that or they stopped making episodes. I can see either one of those happening to be honest. It has its good and bad parts. It wasn't one of my most favorite anime to watch. But... It's worth giving a shot.
I would probably watch the next season. It didn't end on a cliff hanger or anything but I do want to watch the battles between 'good vs. evil'.

You do start to notice that the girls start to crush on .... Guess who?? Yeah... I probably don't have to tell you. But it doesn't really go in to much detail about romance in this anime so if you don't really like it then... you don't have to completely worry about it. I think it's more for comic relief than anything.

ART!
The art isn't anything that screams 'WOW!' to me but I do like the emotions that each character gives. It reminds me a little of Higarashi no naku koro ni kai with it's crazy scenes. (Eyes and such)
It has some pretty gruesome scenes so I was pretty interested in that.

OP/Closing songs
There were two openings and two closings.
The openings and the first ending were alright.
The second ending caught my interest though. The art for the OPs/Closing were really pretty though.

Anyway!
All in all... The anime was alright. I really had to push myself to watch it for the first part but once you get past that, it was a interesting.
Warning! It is bloody and gruesome so please be aware of that.


UPDATE!!!
So, I've been watching the newest episodes and I have to admit. I wasn't expecting so many things to happen all at once but it is really progressing and I am actually enjoying it and can't wait for the next episode. I am a little afraid of watching the newest episode. (watched a little preview of it and I'm a little nervous as to what is going to happen) The emotions of each episode seem to get higher and higher and it makes me really like this anime. I think they are learning from each episode and how to play things out.
So if you are still having a hard time trying to watch it, please stick through because you will enjoy the newest episodes that have come out. It's a slow anime to start out but very enjoyable once you get past that large hump of boringness. ( I don't care-ness)

All the blubbering-ness in the last episodes. SO MANY FEELS!! T^T
Also, I still think it's stupid that they don't make Akame the main character until the last episode.

Riddle Story Of Devil/Devil's Riddle/Akuma no Ridoru Anime Review



Three words.... Boring and disappointing. 

So... The characters seemed really cool at first and I thought that the concept sounded interesting at first.... But I just kept getting more and more let down each episode. 
At some points it reminded me of Danganronpa but it's not as interesting.
It's suppose to be about assassins trying to kill this girl but it just drags on and on.... 
Let me just say... It would have been better as an OVA. 
It had to many episodes and it got boring quickly. 
I did however get excited for the last two episodes. (Possibly because it was getting down to the point.) 
I liked how they mixed the plot up a bit at the end about the girl they were trying to kill but it still didn't help the show. 
The ending... THE ENDING! Let me just get a slap in the face right now. That was the stupidest thing I ever watched. WHAT KIND OF ENDING WAS THAT?! 
The people that die should stay dead. Not act dead... Trying to make a "happy ending" out of something that shouldn't be happy... I was content with some of them dying.... not acting like nothing ever happened. Just very disappointing. 

One thing I did like about this anime was the art. As I said before, it reminded me a bit of Danganronpa. This is one of the reasons. The eyes are what made me want to keep watching. It's the type of style that you could say would be 'creepy cute'? I loved the art in it.  

Opening and Ending songs... Opening... Nothing special. It did have some hidden notes in there but other than that... Nothing special.
Ending song(s) . Interesting for the most part. I like how each character had their own ending song. Stayed through to listen to each. It kept it interesting. 

All in all. Very disappointing anime. Not something I want to watch again. It wouldn't keep my interest. That is all.

One little interesting tidbit... It seemed as though it was somewhat a little bit of a yuri. Just by how some acted towards others.

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!

Inu x boku ss review



So, this anime was so cute! The art was really cute. It had a sense of comedy in each epsiode but I do have to admit, I wish it had more serious, love scenes in it. It had a pretty good storyline but they didn't do much with it.
A little note about watching the episodes... Keep watching after each episode because there are little cute parts after every episode. :3 
Unfortunately I haven't heard anything about a second season even though the manga keeps going after that. Though, I tried to read the manga and it is.... (WARNING) very sad. I really wasn't expecting such a sad manga. I was hoping for more romance and love love stuff.... That didn't happen. 
I hate when manga repeats it's self and that's what this did. It did have little difference of course but all in all... It just kind of broke my heart. So unless you like rereading basically the same thing and having your heart broken then go for it! 
If you don't... Then watch then anime and stop there and make fan fictions or something.
But all in all, I really liked  the anime. 
And everyone should check it out!

TMI Video? Health Update. Anime Review.

I'm thinking about doing a TMI video. What do you guys think? Should I do it now or should I post it after I move? That would be later on next month.

Update on my healing process...
I'm doing better. My stomach is still a little sore and swollen but I'm able to move around more and go to stores for a certain amount of time. I do need rest after though, but, like I said, I'm doing better. :D Hopefully the rest of the swelling around the bottom of my stomach will go away because it makes me uncomfortable.

Now on to the anime review. 


So I recently watched... most of Diabolik Lovers.... And let me just say... It pissed me off. Not really because of how the vampires acted but how the main character girl acted. She disappointed me. The vampires acted like I expected but I just didn't like how PATHETIC the girl acted. I mean, she didn't help her case at all. She didn't push them off. She didn't say 'Fuck off!' She didn't try anything but sit there and take everything they did. There is a difference in trying to make the main character seem innocent or trying to make it look like she is a rag doll or slave. I mean, I understand that she was there to be a 'bride' ... (More like food/slave) to the vampires but there is a limit. They need to give her a little more self worth and have more of an attitude. I just don't think a lot of people are going to like this anime. Now, I did watch some of the episodes and then I just had to skip through it because it just wasn't going anywhere. I skipped to last episode and it didn't really go how I was expecting. I was expecting her to get through to them and change them for the better and make them care a little bit... and you can kind of see a little change BUT it basically just stayed the same. It was a boring ending. Even though it was such an annoying anime... besides that, it was just boring. I didn't get into it and I was very disappointed.
One good point about the anime though, I loved the art. It was very beautiful. I loved the colors they used and how dark it was. But other than that.... nothing else really interested me.
I thought it was going to go in a different direction and I was disappointed.

Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon: Crystal Review

Ok...
So, when I first saw the art way back when it first emerged from the shadows... I was let down. I thought it would look a little more mature now since the main fans are older now. 
Since I have started watching the show now and now waiting for the newest episode to come out.... I don't think it is a complete loss like I thought it would be. 
I still don't really care for the art... They are a bit to skinny and Mamoru looks like a toothpick. 
I absolutely hate the CGI in the transformations though. They could have done so much better. I'm very very disappointed. In the older version, it was my favorite part of the episode. Now, I just want to skip past it. Which makes me sad. :( 
I am happy how they are progressing so far though. They are getting to the point and the romance and feeling between Usagi and Mamoru is much better. I love that. It's not as silly as the older one which I am happy about. Although the art isn't as mature as I would have hoped.... They have made up for that in the story. 
I do love the commercial pictures though.... I think all of them are so beautiful!
I do think that the Moon Pride video is a little misleading but very beautiful. I think the art in the video is a little different than the show... but in a good way? I did love the video though.



So! All in all.... I'm pleased so far.
I will give it a 8/10 just because I am very disappointed in the transformations. I am excited about the romance though. Hoping to see more in the upcoming episodes. :D
