Kamisama Hajimemashita Season 2 Review

I know, I know. 'IT'S NOT OVER YET!' 

I get it!

Don't bite my head off!

I decided to do a little mini review because I feel like I'm holding to much in for this anime and IFIDON'TLETITOUTI'MGONNABURST! *Breaths heavy and twitches eyebrow*

*ehem...*

Anyway...

I really loved the first season of this and I was curious as to how they were going to continue. (I didn't spoil myself with the manga because I really do love the art in the anime.)

So, There have been many new characters coming into play in the last few episodes that have come out. A lot of things going down that Nanami hasn't figured out but you, as the watcher, do.

The new characters are pretty handsome, if I do say so myself.

Some good, some bad, some just weirdos. (lol)

I feel like this season could go anyway at the moment. 

*Spoiler from season 1 if you haven't watched*

As you all know, Nanami is in love with Tomoe. She had told him during the last episode of season 1. Which made it an amazing ending and could have left it at that to make you wonder what all when down. BUT! They didn't and that's ok!

Well, Season two starts out and its basically like nothing happened and they go one with their lives and Human god and familuar. Of course, it does have it's moments of 'awww's' and awareness but other than that it doesn't really say much... UNTIL~! The newest episodes (5-6). Then things become a little depressing and you don't know what is going to happen. You know what you WANT to happen but is it going to...?! You get your realization that you don't want to hear and you just wanna plug your ears and not listen. (lalala NOT LISTENING! *Sticks tongue out*) 

You realize what she is going to do and you sorta know already but is it going to be like all the rest of the *spoiler instered here that I can't give you*? 

ALSO! She finally meets who she's looking for and that doesn't help matters.... (You know who I am talking about if you have watched the first season.)

*sigh*

So, right now I am left wanting more and really just wanting to know the end of this whole thing and how it's going to turn out.

But I also want to know what's going to happen between everyone?

So many questions! 

Ok... I'm done. 

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. 

Bacon wrapped Chicken Recipe??

I have been having a lot of people ask for my recipe for my chicken I made last night... SO! I decided to make a blog entry out of it. I know it's not my usual thing for this blog but I thought this would be the best and easiest way to share it with everyone.
Unfortunately, I do not have any photos but if I decide to make it again I will post photos then. :)

On to the the recipe!

What you will need - 

Garlic salt

Italian Seasoning

Salt

Pepper

Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Fiesta Cheese

Bacon

Chicken Breast/Tenders (I used both.)

Foil

Baking sheet

And an oven of course. :P

I just used frozen chicken and thawed it out. You can use fresh or whatever. You then put seasonings on both sides of chicken. Try not to over season. I just put a little in the middle of my palm for each and decided it was enough. 

Wrap Bacon around chicken. If using chicken breast, use two slices of bacon. Chicken tenders only need one slice.

Set the oven at 350 degrees. Put foil on baking sheet. (Easier to clean up this way.) Place chicken in over for 25 minutes.

Then turn oven to broil and cook for an additional 5 minutes on each side or until bacon looks crisp or to your liking. 

Take chicken out and sprinkle shredded Fiesta cheese on top of chicken.

Let it melt onto chicken and then you're done!

Serve with stuffing, corn or whatever you want! 

I hope you like 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. >.<
