K anime series/movie review

I saw this on Netflix and decided to give it a try.

I felt like this story need a little more information in it but, in general, you get the point of the story. I really enjoyed watching this. The details and shots in this anime were wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the fighting scenes.

I have to say that my favorite characters were from the red kings, Mikoto(Love!), crew, Tatara, Shiro and Neko.

^^^ Mikoto and his crew. Tatara is on the very end on the left.

^^^^ Shiro and Neko.

It does have it's fan service in so beware of that if you don't like boobs or butts in your face.

You really start to care for some of the characters though. At least I did. I really didn't want it to end.

Let me just say, the movie was not on netflix. So, you will have to find it somewhere else. *cough* Internet*cough*

I heard they are suppose to make a second movie or second season (Which I really hope they dooooo.) that will help complete the first movie. 

Be aware that this might make you teary eyed.

Like I said before.... They leave a little bit of info out and I felt a little confused about who real body was whos? (you will understand once you watch). I think it would have made more sense if they had shown all of the kings at the beginning but that's just my opinion. 

Anyway, I really enjoyed this show and I am definetly going to watch the next movie or season. Whichever they pick.

By the way, I'm addicted to the ending song.

I'm just going end this with a few .gifs. :)

Sword Art Online Anime Review

To be honest, I wasn't really expecting to watch this. I had watched a couple of episodes before and it just didn't seem that great. I finally decided to give it another shot. It was on Netflix and staring me in the face and I just decide, 'Eh, what the heck.'

I was surprisingly entertained! It kept my interest and I finished season 1 in 1.5 days. I would have probably finished in one if I had decided to stay up instead of go to bed, but meh, it was worth the wait. My anticipation made me start playing SAO as soon as I woke up. 

There seem to be only two main characters, Kirito(Main dude in black) and Asuna (Main girl behind Kirito), and a lot of side characters through out the whole anime. It mixes it up a bit in the second half of the season though. 

By now, if you're reading a review for the anime, I figure you already know the general plot.

If not, well.... Here is the gist of it...

It's about a game and everyone gets stuck in it. They can't logout and if the die in the game, they die in real life. Kitito was a beta user of the game and realizes that they can't log out right before they all get teleported to main place where everyone finds out that the game creator made it this way. The only way to get out of the game is if someone beats all 100 levels. (This is the part where you figure that will be Kirito...) so basically, it's about him trying to save anyone. Everything that happens makes you really want to watch the next episode....and the next.....and the next.... You get where I'm going with this right?

Anyway!

It made me wish that we could play games like that. And I don't even play games. lol

There is a little bit of everything in this. Sadness, hatred, love, funniness. It levels it's self out.

Overall, I really enjoyed it.

I know there are more season coming out and there is a season 2 out not but as of right now, I am not considering watching it. I have read the summary of it and it just seems as though it's the same thing over again. Only, Asuna isn't very big in the second season. Maybe if she wasn't a background character I could watch it, but it's just one of those 'I don't care' seasons. I understand why she's not in it as a main character, of course. But still, I don't care for the second season. I kind of think they should have made the second season a little more about them in real life, maybe? But ultimately I just don't think they should have kept going. I think they should have just stopped at season 1 and made a little special about Kirito and Asuna. That would have made more sense to me. I might spoil myself and read the manga, however. 

I can't really explain what I am talking about unless you want spoilers.... SO! Forgive me and just watch the anime. :P 

Art - Nothing completely special about it. Characters are cute though. :) Favorite scene was probably with Kirito's long hair. :P 

Music- I couldn't get into the music of the OP and ED. Most of the time I just skipped them. The music IN the anime, however, was beautiful and I really liked 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.

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. 

Two posts in one day?! Whaaat??? -Tokyo ESP Review-

So, I didn't spoil myself before I wrote this by reading the manga ending... So, I'm hoping there will be a second season of Tokyo ESP. If not.... Well, then I'm bummed. The ending was very disappointing. It ended to quickly with to many unknowns... What's up with all the anime ending with all of these mysteries lately? It's super annoying! 

The story was alright. It reminded me a lot of the X-men if that tells you a lot anything. It did keep my interest though. Possibly because it is just like X-Men. It's basically just like every other save the world anime except.... The main character seems tough at times but, all in all, she's pretty weak compared to quiet a few people. It has a more I depth story besides the whole save the world and be a hero thing. You will have to actually watch it to find out what the true meaning of the fighting is about. ;) Like I said earlier... The ending wasn't that great. To many unkowns popping up at the very end. Still! It's pretty interesting to watch because of the characters attitudes and such. There is a bit of romance budding but it's quickly pushed to the side... Which was a bummer... >.>
I will, eventually, have to read the manga though. The unkowns bother me a bit. So, if you are going to do anything... Watch the anime first and then read the manga.... JUST IN CASE. You don't want to be let down by the anime if you read the manga first. You know what I mean?

ANYWAY! On to the art...
Let me just tell you, you can tell where they put their effort into... The characters differ in art so much from the 'background' characters... It's a little annoying. But if you can get use to drastic (ugly) changes in the none important characters then you won't feel so irritated as I did. Other than that... The bloody scenes were pretty fun to watch. :3 

Oh yeah!
WARNING! There is blood, killing and a little bit of boob grabbing in this anime if you are thinking of watching this around kids... My want to have your hands ready to cover their eyes at times. Just saying. 

All in all... Tokyo ESP was fun to watch. It was very frustrating at the end but the little penguin protector dude was really cute and made you just want to SQUISH him! x]

NOW GO CHECK IT OUT!

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!

Honey x honey drop kiss review.

WARNING! This isn't for people under the age of 16. This is an ecchi and has sexual violence and other sexual content so please be careful! 

Now, onto the review.

So, when I first started reading this manga.... I thought the storyline was a bit silly. Once you get over the silly story and actually get into the characters, it's pretty good. 

It's basically about a poor girl trying to make money for her family so that they don't have to worry about things. She meets a boy and he makes her his "honey". "Honey" is basically key word for slave. Once you really get into the story you kind of see that changing little by little though. You notice that the word "honey" gets a different meaning. They go through tribulations because she isn't the greatest honey and can't seem to do anything right. People try to go in between them and they do things that aren't very nice....(read the warning). 

The only thing that I really didn't like is how nice they seem to be to the person that was trying to break them apart. I definitely wouldn't be so nice and I don't see anyone else being that nice either.... Other than that, I thought it was a pretty good manga for the most part. 

The art was cute and it made you really like the characters. 

I did notice they had an anime of it as well but I am just not really interested in it. I have heard it is only two or three episodes long and I just don't think it's worth watching. Plus, it looks funky in color and looks very old. 

But anyway! You should definitely check out this manga! :)

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 

Spell of desire/Majo no Biyaku review

I have been waiting for this manga to be published for forever! I love Tomu Ohmi! Her art is so pretty and her stories are so good! She also made Midnight Secretary. So far, these are the only two I know of that have been published in America.
On to the review! Since I have read more than just the first volume *cough* online *cough*. I know a little more that what is going to happen. But don't worry! I will try not to completely spoil it for you! They haven't published a lot of it online either actually. It's kind of sad. :(
So, basically, It's about the girl, Kaoruko Mochizuki, and the guy, Kaname Hibiki, who are on the cover here, obviously.... Kaoruko runs a herb shop up in the mountains that her grandmother who passed away had. One day, this dude, Kaname, comes basically barging in saying shes the daughter of the most powerful dark/black witch, The 'Witch Queen' and that she has her powers and he is basically here to protect her.
I have to say, Kaoruko is a very pretty, adorable woman and doesn't know how to depend on anyone so for him to be here is very strange for her. Kaname, on the other hand, is very similar to her other character from Midnight Secretary but more playful? I suppose. Kind of a pervert but he's cute so It's ok. :P
The book is basically about her trying to control her powers and how it affects everyone around them.
The book does progress quickly but once you notice the timing, you kind of understand.
I don't really have any complaints so far. I think it's cute. It doesn't progress slowly like other shoujo manga does.
I'm not exactly sure how many volumes there are going to be since there isn't very much info on the manga. It's not very popular, yet.
Now on to the art!
The art is very sleek and has just the right flow to it when it comes to main characters. Although, background characters don't get as much care.
This is not a spoiler because if you just start reading it.... well, you will understand.

Anyhow, as you can tell, background characters don't get as much details. Which is kind of disappointing but I understand what she's doing. I just think she could have spent a little more time on them. Proportions and all... Ehhe....
Anyway, I think that's all for today! You guys should definitely check this manga out! If you're into romance you will love her and her books!
