Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 52	Posted - 2015.05.28 15:47:00 - [1] - Quote MINA Longstrike wrote: Not an anime, but I'm doing a rewatch of korra, then picking through my harddrive for shows I need to delete or complete. Ladies vs butlers and Seikon no Qwaser are definitely going though. For the people who've enjoyed SAO and want something with just a little bit more comedy, I highly recommend Tower of Druaga (both seasons). Be wary of Seikon No Qwaser, it's basically a straight up hentai. Ladies vs Butlers is much the same, but waaaaay more tamed over-all, I kinda wish it had a season 2 actually, it's one of those few anime where the main guy is just totally cool. No Game no Life and Log Horizon are good picks for people who like a multitude of different genres. If you want some recommendations give me a genre and i'll give you the best shows it has it offer.
Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 52	Posted - 2015.05.31 17:48:00 - [2] - Quote Just an incredibly good season for me, from Kekkai to Dungeon to Food Wars to the new dubs of several anime, including Miagical Warfare, with more to come. But running around anime news sites i found several of them reported the same article - Evengalions creator or director, one or the other, was claiming the death of the industry in 20 years, claiming less then minimal wages and lack of talent to be the sources. In the report, he claims the real talent of the industry gets picked up by more lucrative businesses, leaving the anime industry with die-hards, who range from otaku to useless. Echoing his words is the great anime director, Miyazaki himself. Claiming the problem with the anime industry is that it's full of useless otaku's. The article claims that in the near future, the quality in anime we enjoy today, will likely begin to plummet. http://comicbook.com/2015/05/25/neon-genesis-evangelion-creator-predicts-death-of-anime-within-2/

No. Not at all. He's somewhere in my top 10 of all anime characters, just underneath Gilgamesh. Same here, when he's introduced to the mini-misaki he just turns into a great character.

Otherwise known as Kiniro Mosaic: This is moe and nothing but. But where as I found myself turned off by episode 3 to other moe shows, or, pretty much all the other moe shows outside of Dog Days, I found myself enjoying Mosaic. If you watched the first episode you probably think you understand me, but you don't. Though it's easily the strongest episode in the series, it has very little of what carried the show for me: Karen. Her boken japanese dialect, spontaneous yet adorable behavior aligned more with a tsundere but without a SHRED of tsun, she is the very pinnacle of moe. Where Yuru Yuri had Kyoko Toshino, Mosiac has Karen Kujo. Karen easily the better character, too :) Take it back. Kyoko Toshino is the pinnacle of tsundere. She tsun's so hard the dere hardly even exists. I mentioned that Engaged was my first choice for another season, but then I remembered that Love, Chuunibyo, and Other Delusions exists. That's my real first choice for another season. Welp, I'm off too go watch the second season of Index. Is it wrong that Accelerator is one of my favorite anime villains of all time? Kyoko isn't even really a tsundere, she's not hot then cold, she's constantly hot and bubbly. She's exactly like Karen, all the great qualities that make Tsundere's interesting to watch without actually being one.

Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 75	Posted - 2015.06.02 17:09:00 - [6] - Quote Final Fantaasy Type 0 - They really had an opportunity here to break free from the Final Fantasy legacy with gameplay and visuals and become something we can equally expect to be good as they used to be. From a cinematic beginning that puts most games to shame - the very concept this world is build around, a reality version of final fantasy, it had so much going for it. included is a MASSIVE cast of characters, which should of been another strength of the game, but this is where it begins to fall apart. But i'll get to that in a second, first, gameplay: It's basically Tales of games thrown in with a Dynasty Warriors experience. You control 1 of 3 characters out of 12+ who fight completely differently and be further customized for game styles, and they battle around an area closed off, much like a Kingdom Hearts game, where you need to kill all the enemies to continue. That's pretty much the gist of gameplay, you beat up enemies, move to next area, rinse and repeat. But is the actual fighting fun? I would say so, it's very fast pace, and even if you set it on easy for a friend to play for a moment he'll likely get his ass kicked, it's VERY easy to die and **** up in this game. You'll one hit most of your enemies - and they'll return the favor. That's where the fast pace comes into play - you'll be looking to dodge attacks or block them rather then take them. Your basic defense points aren't enough to withstand punishment for any given time, but you can enhance yourself or the area around in several ways to diminish damage or avoid it completely. One of my favorite strategies is to set up a magical barricade in front of me as I set up to cast strong magic spells behind it. This is also where the visuals come into play to enhance the experience, as you begin to enhance your spell with chanting - your barricade will get plummeted by enemies who realize what's going on and switched to heavier weaponry. They'll hit that barricade hard, and it looks fantastic as each hit lands and it begins to crack. Enemies getting around your barricade with strange spells and speed? Then cast Protect! Or Shell! Or one of the many defensive spells FF is well known for that serve as an actual ability rather then effect cast magic you use once then enjoy a stat increase. it's the harmonious nature of melee + magic + range that creates masterful looking battles. It almost creates story book moments while fighting. but after 10 or 20 hours the same repetitive actions and enemies will begin to grind on you - battle system may be good, but the questing mechanic boggles down the experience to boil down to kill x then bring to y. Shame. Story: Now this is where the game shined so hard it blinded me for a second. And only for a second. It starts off SO DAMN STRONG. EPIC!!!!! And as the story progresses it trys to keep that level of intrigue and interest, but it's brought down by the writers inability to make us give 2 fucks about any of these characters. and it's confusing - because the start of the show we care quite a bit about a character whose name we don't even know! But by the time the game starts, the only character we built attachment too is gone, and replaced by a cast of characters, who, 30 hours into the game, i barely know still. and then major events happening in the world is given 2-3 lines explaining them then it's done with. if someone told me a different studio handled the introduction to this game i'd believe it, it's like two different companies took two different approaches during the same game story telling design. How are the cast themselves? If you take a generic look, they look like an amazing group to watch interact. A few typical nut-job females for the fan service, few for the ladies too, but mostly the cast is serious and well thought out. But the dialogue leaves much to be desired. There just isn't enough of it to help us clearly define who these people are, and it's cut up between so many cast members that i sometimes confuse who they even are. Conclusion: What could of been a fantastic - even mind blowing game, was instead turned into a pretty good experience. This is one of those games that i hope gets remade someday with slight improvements, because those slight improvements would lead to massive quality jumps. Over-all, i would recommend this game to almost anyone who enjoys games, as it has a little for everyone. Gameplay: 8 Story: 7.5 Characters; 6 Graphics: 9 i give it my seal of recommendation.

Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 85	Posted - 2015.06.03 18:04:00 - [8] - Quote i just finished re-watching Tokyo Ravens dub. The original show got a 8.5/10 from me, incredible visuals and voice acting with a great plot lead to one of the best anime for fantasy/action in a long time. How does the Dub fair? Equal in almost every way. There's only 1 character whose voice i had a gripe with - as it didn't fit the character he was trying to portray, but other then one minor character, the rest of the cast was spot on. One of the reason I chase after Dubs so often is because, unlike subtitles, you can fully enjoy what's on the screen and all it's beauty. Those moments you take to read a subtitle you just missed a moment on screen. Shows like Heaven's Lost Property, Spice and Wolf, and other very visual pleasing shows with decent voice acting actually help the show become more enjoyable. Tokyo Raven is one such show, just beautiful to watch, even the slice of life moments are great. But there's another Dub i just watched and finished and will be listing as one of the great dubs - Absolute Duo. i've 0 complaints so far on voice acting, and in fact, probably enjoyed the Dub more then the Sub, just like Tokyo Raven, this show is a pleasure to behold. Though not as much as Tokyo Ravens, which i wish a S2 would come for but i doubt they could keep up those production qualities.
Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 85	Posted - 2015.06.05 16:34:00 - [9] - Quote I have now caught up on Plastic Memories. Oriignally - I dropped it because the cast was cut-n-copy generic, you had your tsundere, the smart mouth kid to accompany her, the well spoken intellectual, the beefy athletic, the useless people, the over achievers, the ladies man, over-talkative blonde bimbo, and a quite loli. Then throw in the main character whose put in a setting that IS ***** OBVIOUS WHAT THE RIGHT MORALE DECISIONS ARE BUT THEY LIVE IN A BRAIN DEAD WORLD APPARENTLY. So he comes off looking like a hero for using *** COMMON SENSE. That kind of upsets me in a plot line. It's the reason Aldnoha Zero or whatever it's called is complete GARBAGE. You do your best to make the world believable, the moment it becomes obvious the world went stupid for the sake of a character, your show has turned into trash beyond help. but it wasn't a huge deal with Plastic Memories, as the actual anguish i'm complaining over was a minor plot-line. Everyone else just seems to find it acceptable to give something intelligence then give it no thought of it's own thought and feelings that you programmed them to have independently. it's like this world just wants to be **** to set up dramatic effects. But if you get past this, and a few other irks in the plot line... the interaction between the characters is quite enjoyable. The main heroine, mrs loli, is actually quite the interesting character. After a while the show takes on the story of Your Lie In April, but without the issue of emotional attachment, i don't give a ** about you lil lady, the show didn't let me. I only know brief moments shown in your history of who you are, and that's quite literally it. You acting cute all the god damn time isn't a reason to connect with you. But I do like the direction the show is going - and when it reaches it's peak i'm sure i will love it. But it'll never have the emotional attachment Your Lie In April created by beautiful show-casing it's cast piece by piece as it became important to understand them. Plastic Memories does this, with a single character, and the rest are left to dry. And i really do like mrs Tsundere, she's great, but she's not carrying the show for me. Story: 6 Characters: 6 Animation: 8.5 over-all: 6.5 EDIT: Red head chick sucks.

I'd do it, perfect woman..it'd be great I actually have 0 problem with it - as anime fans we should understand what it means to love something inanimate. But this actually interacts with thoughts and feelings in real life - if it existed I'm sure marriage laws would be completely re-done, as Japan already has a few guys wed to there dolls, literally. and i do like her, but Tsundere-chan is the more interesting character, and the rest of the cast could die and be replaced and i might think the show better for it. it may seem like i hated PM - but i didn't, it's enjoyable. I will definitely be continuing it, but i've seen it get way too much praise for doing things it deserves no praise for. The only real praise i give it is how they're playing out the loli's last moments - it's a serious build up, and an enjoyable one. With each of her ups laying down on her, and you can actually sense how each ** up is effecting her. The show does build up extremely well, you will tear up from time to time. But only for the moments that play out so well, far as building characters go, they're doing a terrible job. Main character went from new guy to love sick idiot, the show even mentions one time how that effects work, then feels thats enough effort wasted on realism and goes back to cute. lol

Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 91	Posted - 2015.06.06 00:31:00 - [11] - Quote The Melancholy of whatever the hell her name is - continued. I caught up on this remake of a once great show. And with how S2 of the original series ****** everything up, you wouldn't think someone else could do worse. and it honestly looked like this studio went for complete mediocracy in this show. But it may of been a trick all along!! You see, i had planned on continuing the above statement with more rant after having finish episode 8. ... ..... but .... then i saw episode 9. O.O THATS THE GIRL WE ALL KNEW AND LOVE~! ... But it's kinda funny the show explains this change in personality as a psychological defect, lmao. we'll have to see in episode 10 how this continues, but the show went from mediocre - to a chance of something above average. Can't wait for next episode :3

Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 111	Posted - 2015.06.06 16:21:00 - [13] - Quote starting to turn this thread into a one man show, lol. anyways - My Teen Romantic Comedy continues to impress, and has reached a certain quality few shows get - many of my friends have dropped it because they can't keep up anymore. Hiki is just too complicated of a character, he's a walking contradiction, but he's the PERFECT contradiction! If these fools took a moment to think about what makes him contradict his ideals and morales you would be as enthralled as i am. this show isn't a bunch of anime characters, but very real people. This show is probably why I'm judging the others so harshly on characters, like Plastic memories, because these have so many sides to them being shown both subtly and otherwise. This season of anime is simply just fantastic for me, best ever.
Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 118	Posted - 2015.06.07 18:08:00 - [14] - Quote Netflix recently picked up Lost in Paradise - so i checked it out. It's not bad, mostly just a CG anime. It's a nice reminder why I choose series over movies, especially when you have great characters. Netflix also picked up the Madoka Magica movies.

I enjoyed the series when it wasn't mentally scarring me. I do wonder where they fall in the plot. The ending of the anime didn't really leave much room for sequels. First two movies are just the series with slightly touched up visuals and like 30 minutes of cut footage, ignore them. The third movie is what you want to see. do not ignore, they are wonderful :) Also - k-on season 2 is better then season one in a lot of ways. Season 1 was just better received as introducing and getting to know the girls was half the fun. Season 2 takes that fun and creates a plot-line that leaves room for more seasons and growth. I thoroughly enjoyed K-on myself :3

I really need to catch up... The only one of those I've seen is Spice and Wolf. Honestly though, is it really a romcom? I didn't really find it to be very comedic, and it's much more serious in tone than a lot of other ones. You can't forget Welcome to the NHK. That one was excellent. Also, another contender for top 3 anime of all time is Angel Beats! It does everything, and it does it well. Action? Check. Romance? Check. Comedy? Check. Mystery? Check. Feels? Che... OH GOD WHY AM I CRYING!!??!?! I want to like Angel Beats, i really do. And i know it's a lot of peoples top 3, but it's bottom 3 for me. It does have everything, including epic plot holes that turn what was a well fleshed show, excluding half the cast has no real background, into a big question mark. And it seems i'm the only one who has problem with how it went down. SPOILER The ending just makes no sense, explaining it based on content not found in the show or hardly explained is just excuses to the director failing to incorporate an important part of the story: How the hell did his heart end up in her chest, when she's been around long enough to be forgotten as another entity completely?! We're not talking a few years difference, but possibly 50 to a hundred for them to be as confused about the situation as they were. Even if just 20, 10 would be just too damn much, 5 would be pushing it, to explain a heart transplant. So then a ton of information is missing, like time-frame of the events we're even watching. The show goes from making kinda sense if you don't put too much thought into it (Character behaviors) - to shoving it in your face how little they themselves thought about it. Everything else was enjoyable, besides that it felt like a show that should of had twice as many episodes.

I think it's doing it right... Crunchyroll has the entire manga online, so I got into that seeing how this is probably my favorite this season by far. Although looking at a recent poll of "best girls", the two from "my teen romantic comedy" are at the top of the list. Maybe I'll reconsider the show now and watch more than 2 episodes. My Teen Romantic Comedy is taking my top spot this season. i could rave for hours about how much I love the ENTIRE cast and not just some of them. And that class president? She went from being "Plz go away" to "Give me more!" The yaoi girl fantastic? She went from "God, another over the top type character" to "Holy **** i can actually relate to her."

It was also just bad in terms of production values. When it came out it had very little competition that had both great action, intense drama, interesting characters, and a plot that was willing to get a little gritty. Shows like K, Guilty Crown, Cross Ange, etc, weren't out yet. All we had were Black Lagoon and a handful of other shows. My only real gripe is the main characters progression is absolute **, and i can tell he's still in this new one. I never liked him, wish saber would go lez for Rin instead. His attitude about following his damn morales was nearly disgusting for me to watch. He's over-bearing with his opinion and his opinion doesn't even MATTER. And it never would of mattered if his father didn't shove an aegis shield up his ass. If this show wanted to follow any real morale basis it's that sticking to your goal like a hard headed idiot is the easiest way to youself and everyone else around you. Being blind for the sake of your mindset is the absolute highest level of retardation and this show plays it off like some kind of ***** hero trait. FSN as a plot line was always weak, even FSZ plot line was based on taking obviously linear progression from power hungry characters and forcing them to clash. it was never a plot line to really make you wonder, 'what's next' rather then, "let me see what i want next" and it delivers on that front. when i watch i can only hope Rin and Sakura are more fleshed out, the original FSN treated them poorly.

It's building up to be a climatic ending. And i've enjoyed the watch so far, it's interesting watching these girls explore our galaxy with magic, and what magic really is in the end - it's not explained straight forward, but what the 'alien' basically describes 'magic' as is dimensional manipulation. There's another anime that touched upon these topics... ganna go hunt it down. it was on Scy Fy for a while.

This is pretty much how my face was the first three episodes. O.O Not anything even close to what i expected. Delightful. It somehow keeps this pace of awesome through the first 5 episodes i've seen. what makes it so awesome? I DONT KNOW!~!~!!!!!!!!!~ it's ***** weeeeeird. At first i thought i was watching 2 and a half men, but yaoi with animal men... But that was quickly dismissed episode 2. Now I don't know what to think, one thinks he's her father, the other is in love, and the last is just *** funny. the entire show is ***** funny. This is very adult humor in a pre-teen setting, it's strangely hilarious. Let me introduce to you the cast: Firstly, The Heroine. Secondly, The Fox. Thirdly, The dog.Fourth, The Tanuki jk, besides the heroine, she just doesn't normally look like that in the show, and the others are, well, sometimes in there male forms, they seem to prefer it personally, but they also seem to enjoy being female lol They live together in a house owned by the heroine, each of the three animal men haunting her for there various reasons. in turn, they all end up serving the heroine, each to there own degree. It's been a while since i enjoyed a good comedy, so i thought i'd give it a long shout out :)

Because SNAFU's latest episode has the show in it's latest peak. I will refrain from the 2 page rant i want to go on about this one episode, because so very much happened so smoothly, almost up to 3 new side stories were revealed with 2 new characters, new relationships discovered between existing characters, the mains ones delve deeper into issue of things, and unimportant side characters show a promising future role. it's hard to talk about it all, so i won't, go watch it yourselves. But the last thing i'll say about it: that student council president chick, the freshmen, she was already developing into a pretty interesting character, but now with all the hints and suggestive tones surrounding her, she's become all the more interesting. Seems her rejection fueled more things to happen then we thought. Onwards to Fairy Tail!~

Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 218	Posted - 2015.06.21 04:09:00 - [40] - Quote Kail Mako wrote: I just finished the first season of SNAFU, and... I'm underwhelmed. I'm sorry, I really wanted it to be one of my new favorites, but I just had too many problems with it. I'm going to start with the fact that the show is called My Romantic Teen Comedy SNAFU. It had some funny parts here and there, but if I've learned anything it's that if you're going to do a gag you have to see it through to the end. So much of the comedy was either too subtle for me to really enjoy, or too subdued for me to get a good laugh out of it. However, I will say that when the comedy hit just right it was extremely well done, and the Athletic Festival was just really funny. Now, this did seem like a more serious series, so the comedy style can be viewed as a good thing. Too over the top could've ruined the entire tone of he series. Also, wtf is with the names? Yukinoshita Yukino, Yuigahama Yui, Kawasaki Saki, Shiromeguri Meguri, Tsurumi Rumi? Hikigaya Hachiman, Hayato Hayama? Did Stan Lee write this? Next, are the side characters. The supporting cast was actually well done. The minor ones like Saika, Ebina, Zaimokuza, and Meguri were entertaining, if a little irrelevant. Hayama came off as a genuinely good guy and he ended up being one of my favorites. Yui was actually very interesting, and really felt like she had multiple layers. Of all the characters in the show she seems like she got the furthest. Yukino... What do I say about Yukino? Well, I didn't like her. For the first 10 episodes I didn't like her. She was rude for no reason, and really flat. After she got some screen time, and managed to develop she got better. Honestly, even though I like Yui better, I think that Yukino had much better chemistry with the MC. Speaking of Hikki, it's time we went deep into the rabbit hole. As much as this was a show about fostering relationships, and them trying to fix others' problems it was also about Hikki. Here's the thing, I understand him. I relate to him. A lot of what he said made sense. What I can't bring myself to do is agree with him. I saw a lot of myself in Hikki. The only problem was that the parts that I see are the parts I've worked very hard to suppress. This doesn't mean that Hikki is a bad protagonist, it simply means I can't like him as much as I want to. One of the biggest problems is the same one that The Rolling Girls had. They spent so much time fixing other peoples' problems, that they barely left time for themselves. Sometimes, it felt like they didn't even accomplish anything in an episode. The changes and development were very clear when comparing the beginning to the ending, but I felt like I missed something. Some might say that's a good thing. It means the characters developed naturally, but I want to see them change. I want to see why what happens happens. I want to be able to follow the arc, and that's just something I really had trouble doing here. As a whole it was an ok show. A thing I noticed is that I wasn't enjoying myself while watching, but that could've just been because I was marathoning and I got tired. Shows like Yuru Yuri, K-on, Engaged, I always had a smile on my face. Even shows like Usagi Drop, Angel Beats, or Chuunibyo which had more powerful emotions then just smiling and being happy made me feel more than this show did. I will say the OP was beautiful though. Btw, Komachi best girl. She's cheerful and energetic. She's cute, and has that tooth which is enough to make me die, and obviously is very intelligent. She also has quite a devious side, playing her brother like a fiddle. Really a standout character from all the others. TL;DR It was okay, Komachi best girl. Yup, think Clannad. :)

Big Sister is being turned into a plot device rather then a character, and the show overly focuses on the problem, so single mindingly marching very slowly forward on an issue that is beginning to grind. What really gets me though is how it ends. Cliffhanger with no news of season 3. gah. I also watched The Fruit of Grisaia Season 1.... O.O That show has crazy escalation. It doesn't particularly boast the best story of all time, but it does make it interesting. it does get a tad boring at times as the girls predictably respond to most scenario's, but there are some exceptions, like the loli, she's hilarious with her harsh language at times. What really drove this story was the last ark, and the longest. It was pretty intense, and even knowing the outcome it made you wonder which way it would all go down. Each resolution was pretty plain, somewhat unbelievable. But it was still a good watch and i'll look forward to season 2. also the ecchi in this show was great, lol, i admit i enjoy some ecchi in my show, and this show honestly spent very little time showing ecchi, but when it did, lmao, :3

The main character is cool, main female protagonist is pretty cool, it's everyone else. This is one the last harems to come out that follows the formula to a T. A guy whose weird attracts weird girls for weird reasons and makes a weird harem over it. Lately, though, in harems like Nisekoi, there are more then one reasonable options for the guy to pick. He'd be lucky to have any of those girls. But in Oreshura, if he picks anyone else but the main female then he is brain dead. The other girls at a high school level are so emotionally immature it border lines pathetic. There parents must feel incredibly ashamed on how there daughters think and feel. I would of felt like a failure of a parent to any of the three other girls in this story. luckily the show focuses on the only good characters, but constantly let the other characters interrupt any emotional value the show trys to build. The show is saved for me simply because the silver hair girl so strongly reminds me of the silver hair girl from Katanagatari. Same voice actor too for both characters, and she's an incredible voice actor.

And yet the writing is so ridiculously juvenile that coming to the conclusion that the show is geared towards teenagers is pretty much the only reasonable conclusion anyone could come to. I'd go one step further and say that the specific way in which the violence/gore/abuse is presented makes it even more childish when all is said and done. It's violence often times for violence's sake, it's a gore party headed up by characters that are so ridiculous in their interactions with eachother and with the main characters as to border on self parody. I shouldn't need to remind anyone of the first couple episode's main villain being foiled in part by students chucking books out of the window at a terrorist who rigged a school up with bombs or the flamboyant couple who would go on attempting to save the world through the power of their love! It's almost power rangers in its execution. Shadowed Cola wrote: And Seraph's only generic feature is the Naruto x Saske or however it's spelt plot. Predictable, but it being admits a war of magic between vampires and humans makes it fun to watch :3 Oh, and the main character is basically Natsu. Yeah no, the thing is straight up a derivative work of Attack on Titan with the main character being presented as an almost carbon copy of Erin "Gotta kill all the ~~Titans~~ Vampires" Jaeger. Then throw all the basic shounen tropes at me, power of friendship, super special power ups, blah blah blah. I've seen this show 20 other times with a different twist. That's a pretty low threshold you have for similarities. I wouldn't relate the two nearly as much, as Erin pretty much stays a whiney ***** constantly with no real bad-assery given to him other then turning titan. His only moments of being cool was taken from him almost as fast as it was given to him. And his dramatic scenes all came from the very same point: His life sucks. Better have someone else fix it for him. He never got closer to his comrades, the story never put any time in fleshing out it's characters. Seraph takes a much better approach. You're given your AoT moments in the first episode, then it goes to a high school life, then switches back to the action. It never beats you over the head with it's themes of Vampires, curses, or the world. AoT did nothing but beat you in the head with how terrible there world and situation constantly was. I don't blame you for relating the two, but AoT has some serious flaws that almost seemed fixed when compared to Seraph.

The series was obviously rushed, and could of been REALLY good, instead we get this good enough version. What do we really know of any of the characters? I know blondie doesn't really like to study, and that she... has a home with a family, I think? The main guy was a delinquent for no reason in his other school, came to next school for new start... and failed? The witches, subtract the green haired one, were all interesting and could of easily been given arks instead of episodes. Funny part is, even though the show goes out of it's way to say the powers are given to certain girls with certain problems, it doesn't explain why. Or how the choice is made. It's so terribly half assed done and rushed when you start to break down the characters, the interactions, reasonings for working together, that it becomes hard to think I actually enjoyed the watch as much as I did. but I did, and I score the show 7.9/10, I wanted to give it an 8, but there's just too many flaws. one being the best part of the show is how it ends. smh

It's not that it failed to deliver emotionally or had bad characters, they were just bland. The only truly interesting character was the loli, the more you learn of her the more you like her. Next most interesting is the Tsundere, she may be as generic as they come but her spirit and thoughtfulness made her an enduring character, especially next to the carbon-replicated cast next to her. She would of been a better character without the blonde kid making her tsundere antics go through the roof. 0 depths were given to any character but 3. We actually learn more of the director of the Agency's background with his family through constant jokes then we know about LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE. tidbits are given here and there about the protagonist relationship under the scenes with the company, and other such stuff between the co-workers, but none of it was explored. So what that left the show was a completely tunnel vision plot line aiming for one thing: The ending. was a good ending, didn't feel rushed, and had a nice twist to really make the tears come out. But it was so painfully obvious the show was just planning to set up that moment that every other episode began to feel like a grind to the finish line. And the scene they showed after the credits nearly infuriated me and took me out of my tears and into confusion. They really, really should of left the last 10 seconds out.

I'll stick to shows that have finished, so Owari no Seraph and Arslan Senki won't be found here until they finish. As of right now, I only have three shows to review, and I'll post reviews of the rest when I get around to finishing them. Disclaimer: May contain spoilers and spelling mistakes (I'm typing this on my phone). Fate / Stay Night: This seems like a good place to start. This show was pretty good overall, filled with a fair amount of action with a dash of romance as well. I can't really say I had any problems with the show, but at the same time there was nothing that really stood out as being amazing. This show is definitely better than the original, but worse than it's prequel. Hibike! Euphonium: This show was pretty fantastic. Sure, there were some dull moments, but aside from those the show was quite entertaining. I like how this show contained drama without going overboard. I think this show captured all of the elements make a good high-school drama while still maintaining realism in terms of characters and their reactions to certain events. Speaking of characters, the characters in this show were great. For having such a large cast, it is quite impessive that every character managed to be unique and interesting. I really like the main character in this show; her level of awkwardness is, honestly, super adorable and her resolve, frankly every characters resolve, is very admirable. This show reminds me of Love Live in many ways, such as the one just mentioned. Out of all the things in this show that I enjoyed, the romance definitely takes the cake, but not in a way I would have initially expected. While this show did have some actual romance elements, the one that reallyhooked me was the Kumiko/Reina romance. Their confession scene was so unlike anything I have ever scene in any anime, and their more mature understanding of love is very refreshing to see. I don't at exactly what position, but this show has definitely snuck its way into my top 5. Plastic Memories: Here we go. I don't really know where to begin with this one. I know quite a few people had a few issues woth this show as a sci-fi show, but I think those people just don't understand what this show is. This show is an amazing romcom drama with a touch of sci-fi elements. I'm not one to enjoy romantic comedies usually, as I find the comedy takes away from the romance too much, but this show didn't make me feel like that. This show is very similar to Angel Beats, it balances comedy and drama in a way that works, but it does even more than that. Unlike Angel Beats, this show focuses a lot more on the romance, and that does nothing except add to this shows magnificence. Angel Beats was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster, but this is the whole damn amusement park. This show was funny and joyous, yet at the same time it could be serious and somewhat dark. Then the final episode hit, and the tears started flowing. That ending was so heartbreaking; I'm honestly holding back tears right now as I write this review. I haven't cried that much in years. I don't think I'll forget this show, it was an absolutely amazing watch. I can say with confidence that this show is my all time favourite anime. #NoRegrets This season, for me, has been one of the best. In the two years I've been watching anime I haven't seen a single season that placed two shows in my top 5. Don't get me wrong, this season had it's fair share of terrible shows, but I can ignore those because there have been some fantastic shows as well. Anyway, these are my reviews so far. More to come within the next week. Sincerely, Glantix / Ice Pretty sure Seraph ended already, just 12 episodes, it should of been much, much, longer. and i agree people who delve too deep into the sic fi aspect of Plastic Memories is missing the point of the show, but you can't ignore the set up. Aldnoha Zero got 0 respect from me for doing exactly what Plastic Memory is doing. Creating a scenario that is purposely brain dead to make the main character(s) stand out more. There is no way anyone is going to make me believe that society would create sentient robots then handle it with that retrieval company. And that was one of the big points in the show that makes these people special, they don't treat... sentient robots like anything more then a sentient creature. Where as there's more to the story in Clannad and Anohana then the ending, Plastic Memories has nothing going for it but how much you have feels for the loli's situation.

It's also nice to see you back Ice! :D I've finished Fruit of Grisia OVA and Season 2, it's really interesting but i can't put my finger on the problem I had with the show. The OVA was great, learning about the MC's terrible past was actually really interesting, and it continues into the actual second season. His big sister is just incredible, she's a super loli. And the pink hair maid girl is insane at everything she does, a literal perfect maid. Her fight scene was great. And I laughed quite a bit, the sex jokes were just so straight forward, like it wasn't even trying to be funny. Even at the end when he has sex with his sister out of no where it comes off as a so what scene that it's comical. You almost don't notice with how fast it all is that.. they just had sex. And the main guy seems to like sex and is willing to **** anything of age, lol.

Shows like: Ah! My Goddess! Beck Bokura ga Ita Canvas 2 Crest of the Stars - This ones a personal fav for an incredibly epic space war and a great romance. Da Capo Flames of Recca - Think Yu Yu Hakashu, but with a better plot. Fruit Basket - classic of classics Honey and Clover - not really a classic, but still wanna watch :) Ichigo 100% - Strawberry panties ftw

NOW Thw first few episodes were kinda uninteresting and there was too much ecchi than I would prefer so I kinda assumed that's how the whole show would be (something similar to gourmet girl graffiti from last season) NOT EVEN CLOSE Idk which episode it is introduced in, but the idea behind "food wars" is that in order to settle a conflict, you can challenge anyone to a shokugeki, which is basically just a formalized cook-off. The main character Souma, being the confident type he is, gets carried away with the ability to challenge people and there's a lot of "no way, did that seriously just happen?" moments all over the place. Of course, Souma's voice actor is the same guy as Kirito, Bell, and Sora...which actually fits quite well as I would compare this anime to about the same quality as No Game No Life. I mean, even the same general plotline is similar. Intelligent guy starts from nothing and works his way up on his way to challenge the god of the world he is in. The basis being that in order to get anywhere you must challenge other people according to the rules of that world. Great stuff. Not sure if it beats out Yamada-kun (the last episode isn't out for another 4 hours) but it was definitely right up my alley and will find a spot in my top 10 Food Wars is crazy good, can't wait for the new episode today! :)

Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 256	Posted - 2015.07.04 16:17:00 - [61] - Quote i started watching anime around 2010, but when I did go into anime i started with Gundam's, like anyone typically would. when Toonami pulled wing off the air and i hadn't seen all of it i went online to see if there was even a 'chance' at seeing the episodes i was missing. What i found were sites dedicated to gundam shows, hosting every episode they ever made for every show. That made me think about where Gundam came from, and other shows like Ruroni Kenshin. so i did a quick google search of 'watch anime online' and came to the site animefreak.tv It was like a world had opened up to me, it shows it's entire inventory to the right in a very, very long list, and I was amazed on how many and diverse the shows were. So I picked one at random that seemed to go well with my theme of action and i wanted something really gritty - ELFEN LIED. What a show to get started on. i instantly showed it to some friends and we all got hooked for a bit, but I took it further then they did when i was alone bored at night, which lead me to watch Fruit Basket. it was my first 'real' introduction to the light hearted comedy romance brings and all the settle emotional qualities the genre tends to bring out. i was completely in love with the show. After finishing i went looking for another and found Love Hina! And i loved it too. Then my third show sealed the deal - Toradora. It had just come out and the idea of watching a pissed off loli didn't really seem to cool, but i liked the way the animation looked. it was probably at that point i never looked back and just straight abandoned hollywood, for the most part. it was just a string of amazing shows after that, Clannad, Air, Kanon 2006, This Ugly Yet Beautiful World, Chobits, there was just so much more to the romance genre then pretty much any Tv medium entertainment i had ever seen. anyways, enough with the history - i'm now watching Strike the Blood - i originally dropped it half way in, forgot way, seems like a pretty good show. :3

Too many harem shows focus on the absurd/convenient usage of scenarios to try and force character development, but in this scene we finally see the "true" Momo. A similar thing happens with Risa. Relegated to being little more than the lewd friend of Sairenji, she serves no purpose other than to complicate matters for Rito by constantly embarrassing him and/or making sexual advances. She is, for all purposes, a one-dimensional character and nothing more than a comedic prop to be used at the creator's whim.

Honestly, I think that's why I love the To Love Ru series so much; there's actual character growth happening. Oddly enough, the "main" characters (Lala and Sairenji) are probably in danger of becoming the least-developed characters as the focus remains on the newer characters.

The hentai was the last episode of a series about an ogre grotesquely mistreating a young lady in a mansion when her heroes comes to save the day after going through a little mind ****. Ultimately he burns the place down, killing the ogre and all the residents, saves the girls, and runs home where they live together. That's where this episodes starts. He has a neighbor whose secretly in love with him, and notices a young beautiful girl move in with him, and it's obvious they're engaged. She becomes lost in jealousy and confusion and that's when an ogre invades her homes and confuses her more, somehow tricking her after showing the man she loves having sex with the new girl through a peep hole. He drugs her and takes her away and basically rapes and chops her up, but she learns something in the process. The show continues with the guy finding the location of where the girl is, completely chopped up and near death. That's when it comes to him and he remembers. And she accepts her death. Nice twist in the end, though a bit of a stretch. I didn't watch much of the first 2-3 episodes, as it was mostly just sex scenes and brutality, but the last episode had plenty of story before... my links. :D

Couldn't stop watching until I finished season two this morning. Season one was a very slow build up where they seemed to be searching for an identity--was this going to be a drama? Comedy? Harem?--and it doesn't help that Louise isn't really portrayed as a likeable character for a long time. The viewer is almost flat-out told that he/she should be rooting for Saito and Siesta to pair up, but they do a decent job of recovering by the end of season one and making you care about Saito and Louise and the "will they/won't they?" Season two, though...that first episode hit pretty hard. The storyline about the Prince and Princess...many feels. And the later introduction of the princess as a potential romantic interest was handled rather well. My biggest complaint about season two would be that it ran about five minutes too long. The ending came across as a heavy-fisted attempt at forcing some comedy into a situation that didn't call for it. Would have much rather preferred to see the season end with either Saito's fate still being unknown or the scene where they're running towards each other. Season 2 is the shows high point, sadly. I'd suggest giving Hayate the Combat Butler a shot if you enjoyed it.

Really enjoyed the entire series, which I honestly wasn't expecting given how unlikeable Louise is presented throughout the show. Suppose it's a good sign for a harem anime that you actually feel bad the "losers" of Saito's affection, particularly Henrietta and Tabitha, though it was refreshing to see the main character actually make a decision of who to be with and stick to it. Have about 3 hours until I head off to work so I guess I'll look for the next series to watch. You seem to enjoy those different kind of shows - give Shakagana No Shana a shot.

But it only had one thing going for it - The MC is pretty cool. Everyone else? Putrid. The females designs aren't even attractive, they're actually close to being just ugly. The character design reminded me of a incest show about a girl moving in with her brother, but so does the student council. The eyelashes blend in with the hair and skin and the contrast of faces come off baby designed, as if maturity never settled. But where as that show i still considered the characters attractive, these aren't. I just can't get into this show. Hopefully more episodes will show some development for these characters VERY fast. Monster Girl - I know a lot of you have been waiting for the show, snake girls, bird girls, spider girls, all sort of super freaky looking animal girls. I knew I wouldn't like 'em, felt like beastality when they had ecchi moments even with the human top. But it's a pretty good show and got me to laugh a few times. Mostly i was just curious if snakes have vaginas or not lol Charllote - Crunchyroll found a gem with this show. The MC reminds me of the MC from Code Geasse - ESPECIALLY that villainous smile! And how it all turns around on him after the shows initial set up was pretty cool. This is looking to be the best show so far this season.

Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 351	Posted - 2015.07.10 16:42:00 - [90] - Quote 2 things, Firstly, an apology, lately I've been writing some terrible half assed reviews filled incomplete thoughts and bitter out-look versus shows of obvious higher quality. I'm going to put a bit more thought into what I write concerning them, and go back to the basics of review: Story, Character, Plot, Design, and Music with an Over-all summary. That being said, I'm half way through A Lul in the Sea, Dub. And I've found this version of the show easier to watch then the sub counter-part. 2 reasons: 1) The two protagnist don't sound like whiney bitches at the start of the show. Hiki sounds a lot more likable in the dub, and his VA brings out the rough-confused child out while still maintaining enough maturity to sound competent. It's a nice difference from the jap VA who made him sound like a punk. Like-wise, the female voice also keeps that child-confusion-cutesy appeal, but also sounds like she's a lot more competent of a person. But on the opposite end, Chitari, the purple hair girl, VA sounds like she needs to take a full breath when she talks, it's almost like loud whispers, but she's cute and does the character well. 2) like most dubs, it allow you to enjoy the visual much more, and this show is absolutely, without a doubt, gorgeous.

It's now done something I've only seen Clannad do - tell a story that spans years, letting us see for ourselves how some of these characters grew. Chisaki skyrockets up my list of favorite characters as a result. Very glad i saved this show up to now.

This is the first time I've watched the subbed version and I have to admit...I like the dubbed voices better. Especially Rias. There's just so much raw potential for an incredible storyline to emerge in this series (particularly if you've read American Gods by Neil Gaiman or seen the Prophecy movies) that I'd be willing to sacrifice the gratuitous T&A for some real depth. Currently on episode 3 and plan on watching it all tonight! Shining Hearts was just plain terrible and got worse all the way till the ending. and there is uncensored dubs - just had to wait for the blu-ray release, it's the only way funimation could get people to buy it, lol.

Either way you should tell me what you think of Wolf Girl and Black Prince It's one of those shows that isn't super amazing, but takes a different spin on the idea of romantic comedy (I feel like you might have already told me your opinions about this show at one point but I must have forgot) Wolf Girl and the Black Prince - I remember that show, It's about a sadistic good looking guy who basically helps a girl with her lie in exchange for her becoming his dog. It should of been a lot better of a show then it was, it had the Kaichou-Wa-Maid-Sama feel and character design, but it's hard to support or build relationship with characters who do the wrong thing knowingly. don't think i ever made it to the last episode because i expected 0 real conclusion to anything.

I finished the Fuko and the Kotomi arcs and boy was I bored. The MC they could've replaced with literally any other anime protagonist and everything would've been done the exact same except twice as interesting. Nagisa, Ryou, Tomoyo, and Kotomi are just meh. I don't like Sunohara. They should've just called him punching bag for all he does. Kyou earns some points, but only because she might be a siscon. Fuko was cute, but of course they got rid of her. Nagisa's parents however I actually genuinely enjoyed, but they're just side characters. The show is also a mess. The first few episodes had very weird jump cuts, and the balance between drama and comedy wasn't very well executed. The comedy on it's own was fine, though nothing earth shattering. The feels were there, but nothing like I expected them to be. The highest point is the Dango song. I love the Dango song. Clannad can go sit in the corner of shows I didn't finish along with Watamote and Gurren Lagann.

It's funny, great cast, great romance, and leaves the world open to the imagination of what else could be in here knowing what we do. Story - 6/10 Ever wanted a loli king? Ever wanted a sadist tsundere loli king? How about a sadist tsundere loli king who just recently conquered the world matched with a beautiful spunky girl who don't give a **** what others think? Look no further! It's a recipe for humor and unexpected drama as these two protagonist of our story bump heads with each other and everyone around them. The King of the Sun, as he is named after his land, sought the hand in marriage of a noble blood line from the Principality of Rain, said to posses strange powers that can call rain. He didn't care which princess, all known for there beauty, he just wanted the power they posses. After a life or death game of rock paper sisscors between the princesses, our female protagonist is sent on her way to meet her new husband, but before she does she tours the country. The Rain country is very poor, underdeveloped, and low populated. Even so, she didn't expect the people of the sun to be taken care of so well by there king, who may of taken the world by force, but he treated his people well improving irrigation and other important facilities to maintain there daily living. They loved him for that, but they also feared him, for his anger was quick to come. When she finally meets the king - he isn't what she expected being torn a part by different sets of rumors about the same man. And when he meets her - she holds nothing back, and lands her in prison. Problem with the story is that it failed to explain a lot of context and backgrounds - like why the king even wanted to marry anyone to begin with, he could just force the country to do as he wants with his military might. Characters - 8.5 music - 6 VA's - 6 Over-all - 7.5 - i recommend this show to romance/comedy fans.

A power fantasy harem anime that skips past all of the "hero grows into his power" by starting with the hero as, essentially, a bad-ass right from the start. So instead of wasting time watching as the hero wrestles with his power, the viewer is treated to a protagonist that is more than happy being a playful jerk while keeping his noble core intact; Akatsuki is the guy we all wish we could be--brave, strong, charming and willing to take on whatever challenges come his way, and doing so with a seemingly care-free approach to it all that hides his commitment to those he cares about. I use the term "harem" as a generalization for the fact that the hero quickly finds himself surrounded by women; however, in terms of potential love interests the show focuses on Miu (the one Akatsuki has sworn to protect and the only one that he actually displays any real romantic interest in) while also Haruka takes on the role of the tsundere character, who develops feelings for Akatsuki despite her initial animosity towards him. Listy may as well be a romantic interest for Akatsuki, though their past isn't really touched upon in the show (but is strongly hinted at.) That actually ties into my one major complaint about the show: it isn't finished. Though the initial storyline is completed over the course of 12 episodes, it's quite obvious that it is only a part of a much larger story being told and there's no satisfactory conclusion to be drawn from this one season.

But even if i try look past that Pinky won't let me. For one thing - the show keeps making dumb ass choices. If one of your friends is having a mental break down and refuses to accept reality in front of her - Would you let her outside the barricade? Would you let her live her absent minded existence as the rest of you struggle to figure out how to survive with her? ** NO YOU WOULDN'T. The show almost went out of it's way in episode 1 to show you how rambunctious and full of energy pinky is - why, for the love of whatever god is left in that world, would you give her the opportunity to antagonize zombies? What's worse, they trick her to think it's okay to around - It's a game! A test of courage! ... ... stupid *** **. Anyways, other then the entire lack of seriousness involving the actual MC of the show, everything else is almost spectacular, the rest of the cast is serious and interesting, and some back story to where they were when the outbreak occurred made the setting further more interesting. There's definitely some good content coming our way - but i fear Pinky will ruin it.

The way I see it, they're all a bunch of kids. They see her delusion similar to a kid that believes in Santa, and instead of thinking logically about it, they would rather just see her happy. Which is why the character Megu-nee (I like sakura-sensei better :P) is so important. If she wasn't there for Yuki then maybe the others would step in and take that place...but they understand that everyone has their own way of coping, which is why they thank Megu-nee every time she helps out. If something ever happened to sakura-sensei, Yuki's state would probably get worse. The whole 'ignorance is bliss' thing. Then again I really want this show to focus on cute girls doing cute things. Maybe it's just me but I really like the contrast of going from "nummy bars" to "shovel time" to "wow she really wanted senpai to notice her huh". There's just so much emotion jam packed into a single episode that makes you instantly connected to the characters involved. ... Side note: Knockers totally has a thing for Bookworm, and I ship it.

What i don't like is everything and everyone that comes next. We know who the characters sorta were before the MC is really brought to any sort of light, but after actually meeting them, I loath them. Terribly generic, almost as if the show was giving the middle finger to the entire community by showing how little effort you need to put into a character who eccentrically chases or acts out there desires. But i've seen worse, so i continued on. Then I hit a wall in the plot that made me drop the show. Simply put: The show is full of **. It takes time in several occasion to mark the MC as a 'traitor' - it disgusts the people around him, they don't want to be near him or anything, they openly fear and despise him for it. I thought he did something terrible, got someone killed, got many killed even. No, lmfao. Want to know what he did? He survived a near death encounter then didn't want to fight anymore. LOL He also doesn't help his team win some tournament. Even if that came with repercussion, like no promotion, how do you blame the guy? He almost died! That changes people. this show can just go ** itself ;3

This show is both and not an exception. simply put - where does 'snow white' even come into play with this show? it's entirely centered around her red hair. Dwarves were mentioned once for being generous and easy to trick. Regardless, it's really rather enjoyable. Snow White or w/e her name is a great character, a mix of Holo and Hina from Hayate, without the tsun and all the cleverness. And the main romantic interest for her is equally as great, supported by more great cast. I recommend you guys check this show out - 8.5/10

I've tricked a lot of people into liking it, but i won't with you guys. I'm going to be real - this show is *** stupid. if anyone knows there history of medieval warfare they'd be *** appalled on how stupid the fantasy world is. It is also such an incredibly unbeliavble scenario, japan and the world wouldn't act this way - i doubt the fantasy world would act that way - people would prioritize communication and exploration, we can literally build a wall they can't break from entering the portal that we can open with a button press. There's so many amicable approaches, and even if they did kill our people in first contact, we wouldn't assume there entire world is them. And look how fast the MC picked up on there ***** language!!!1!1 The show is stupid, so filled with holes, that they hope the big booms and political espionage will distract you from how incredibly bad this writer is at creating a believable scenario. i still enjoy it - even if the humor is as bad as the writer Almost all jokes are 100% focused for otaku only audiences, which means shallow as *** jokes* 6/10 - like i said, still liked it. Has tons of potential, but i don't believe any of this would actually happen.

The protagonist, Yuto, is your typical buffoon with memory difficulties that conceals the fact that he is to be a Demon Slayer in the future to protect humans from the ayakashi monsters. The plot kicks off with the introduction of Himari--a samurai that just happens to be a demon cat. Yuto's ancestors, in their role as Demon Slayers, were able to subjugate an ayakashi and now Himari serves as a bodyguard to Yuto. It goes without saying that each of the first half dozen or so episodes introduces a new ayakashi that alternately goes from foe to friend (to willing harem member) and they all generally to stick to stereotypical roles. Look, it's nothing original...but the animation is quite nice and the female characters are genuinely cute. No actual nudity is a mild bummer. One positive, though, is the music. I personally loved this show, and hated how it ended. There's a lot of shows just like this one with a cat god theme, and they're all great. on a side note: Check out Mayo Chiki

A power fantasy harem anime that skips past all of the "hero grows into his power" by starting with the hero as, essentially, a bad-ass right from the start. So instead of wasting time watching as the hero wrestles with his power, the viewer is treated to a protagonist that is more than happy being a playful jerk while keeping his noble core intact; Akatsuki is the guy we all wish we could be--brave, strong, charming and willing to take on whatever challenges come his way, and doing so with a seemingly care-free approach to it all that hides his commitment to those he cares about. I use the term "harem" as a generalization for the fact that the hero quickly finds himself surrounded by women; however, in terms of potential love interests the show focuses on Miu (the one Akatsuki has sworn to protect and the only one that he actually displays any real romantic interest in) while also Haruka takes on the role of the tsundere character, who develops feelings for Akatsuki despite her initial animosity towards him. Listy may as well be a romantic interest for Akatsuki, though their past isn't really touched upon in the show (but is strongly hinted at.) That actually ties into my one major complaint about the show: it isn't finished. Though the initial storyline is completed over the course of 12 episodes, it's quite obvious that it is only a part of a much larger story being told and there's no satisfactory conclusion to be drawn from this one season. Seeing as to how this was made in 2012, I don't have high hopes for more seasons. Bummer. A minor quibble of mine has to deal with the visuals--something just seems "off" about the female characters. Their bodies are obviously quite well animated (and believe me, you'll see A LOT of their bodies) but the actual faces...ugh. I'm not sure what it is, exactly, but the female character's faces look slightly off, as though they're too round or something. That aside, the rest of the visuals are top-notch, including the battle scenes. Finished. 7/10. i can see the appeal, the MC has so much background to pull from and awkward wisdom that he's just great when on screen. Him paired with the green hair girl especially were enjoyable moments. but villains reasonings were ** poor. From that absolutely ****** terrorists who had everything going for him but just threw it away, to the big baddie at the end of the show. There reasonings for moving forward can equate to high school popularity contests. They want to be noticed. uhg. At least the terrorist, as dumb as he was, was serious. the jokes in dub were way better, i found myself laughing quite a bit. ultimately, the characters depths this show provides is pointless because it plays no real part in a show. Loli getting over her issues, or pinky growing up, or the yuri growing a pair - all of it leads to absolutely nothing, lol. so we have a pretty interesting plot and setting that gets basically tossed to the side for anime cliche's. That was the most annoying part. There's true opportunity here for a strong story between these two worlds and ideals - but boils down to personal vendetta's in the end over childish natures. le sigh.

Kamito forms a spirit contract--an incomplete one--with the holy sword, Est, and thus begins his new life as a student, where he encounters all sorts of beautiful girls who (naturally) develop feelings for him. His harem slowly comes together as the looming Blade Dance approaches...and with, it the ability to have any one wish granted. All told, this was about as generic a fantasy harem anime you can find. That said, Kamito is actually an interesting character (much more so than the stock harem members that fulfill trope roles) in that we aren't watching the typical zero-to-hero progression of a typical power fantasy. Instead, we start off with the fact that, as of three years ago, Kamito was the best blade dancer of them all and won the tournament to have his wish fulfilled; a wish that, apparently, didn't go as planned, as Kamito now finds himself separated from his former spirit contract, Restia, and is much weaker as a result. At 12 episodes, don't expect anything more than an opening act to a much larger story. As such, resolution is nowhere to be found so be warned before starting to watch. Fairly standard moments of comedy and ecchi (though no actual nudity) surround the typical harem-style romance while fight scenes are usually quick to be resolved. Animation is good, nothing spectacular. This show can be so damn cute, but you're right, it's just pretty much an average show.

He flat out uses her to further his own goals. While she fights to protect him, he mostly just cries and whines. Not only that, but he is afraid of her, and clearly doesn't trust her. In almost every given instance he'll choose anyone else above her. I suppose there was that incident where she kidnapped him, and tried to kill all of his friends. However, the way he simply leaves her is brutal. "If some crazy stalker lady kidnapped, and tied me up I'd leave her too!" You might cry, but let's look at the facts, and the people he calls his friends. Akise: Basically a stalker himself. He just gets around it by calling himself a detective. Overall he treats Yuki well and deserves to have his trust/friendship. Hinata: Fakes friendliness toward him to lead him to a trap where she attempts to kill Yuki and all of his friends. Yuki's response? He decides to become her friend and instantly forgives her. Mao: Complicit in Hinata's scheme; tries to stab him. Really she was just acting to help the girl she clearly likes, so I hold nothing against her. Kousaka: Flat out tries to get him killed by Ninth. When Yuki moves schools he tries to tarnish his reputation to force him into being an outcast. He's also openly hostile toward him. Every single one of those people he trusts, and prioritizes over Yuno. Three of the four tried to kill him. Now let's look at Yuno: She has from the very beginning admitted that she loves him. She says she'll always protect him, and has saved his life from Third, Sixth, Twelfth, Fifth, Fourth, and Seventh. She's made mistakes here and there, but always tries to rectify them. Not to mention that every action she's taken is to achieved the "Happy End." Including the kidnapping incident which couldn't have really impacted their relationship that negatively since the "Happy End" didn't go away. You're kinda ignoring the beginning of the story of how Yuna and Yuki were brought together and then got to know each other. Yuki thinks Yuna was bat ** crazy before the others, so in comparison in his mind, his friends probably seem tamed, lol.

Oh, and it has a great OP. People probably enjoy it because it's like Highschool DxD, just minus the plot, and with a whole bunch of extra plot (I don't think the show is that amazing, but it's entertaining to watch and that's all that matters sometimes) High School DxD has a plot, somewhat dark, to back it. It isn't all just fluff and panty shots. And the characters involved are all quite serious, the only real joker is the MC himself. But MM is just simply fluff back with more fluff. There's nothing to grab hold onto with the story to be excited for more - you either like this cute monster girl design and watch it - or you don't. Because the plot itself is complete garbage so far. And the story does try to have a plot - it honestly tries. If it was more like Lucky Star or Ordinary Life i would of just said it's fine, but it actively does want to give reasoning behind these women, and that's what i judge. and so far - 6/10.

My suggestion would actually be to watch this one up to the Sisters arc, then go back and watch both seasons of A Certain Scientific Railgun, and skip Index's Sisters arc. I actually prefer Railgun, but Index takes the story further. Personally I believe this show has the best world of any anime I've ever seen. Tags: Action, Comedy. Some stuff I want to clarify first: I only watch stuff on Crunchyroll, Hulu, and Netflix. I don't watch Hentai. I don't really like harem stuff. I really like slice of life. Generally it's classified as seinen. Which segues nicely into my next question. What sites do you use to watch anime? I might want to expand to more, but want to make sure the stuff is safe. Kanamemo eh? I might give it shot, the only show you I haven't seen, besides Chuunibyo s2. and I watched Index exactly as you did and agree - Rails a more interesting character. Do as this man suggest, the series is better for it. shows i suggest (all from console streamers) - Kaichou Wa Maid Sama - An all males school turns co-ed, inspiring a hard working girl who wants to make improvement to help the girls adapt to the once all boys school run for president. She wins, but life at home is rough, so she has to work a part time as a waitress in a shop in the next town. One thing leads to another - Most popular guy in school he's a troll finds out, and her already messy world gets worse. Tags: Romance, Drama, Comedy, School Life, Slice of Life. The Ambition of Oda Nobuna - A young man is suddenly sent to another world in a familiar setting where two samurai's fight. It's the time of Warring States era Japan, and Nobunaga Oda, is actually the beautiful and charming Nobuna Oda, daughter of the Oda clan. The man takes the role of Monkey, one of Oda's most famous advisors, and the man who goes on to unite japan. Visual are gorgeous. Tags: Action, Romance, Comedy, Moe, Altered History, Drama. Dog Days - A dog with a knife suddenly opens a portal infront of our MC, a young athlete to the physical sports competitions. He's thrust into a world of animal-people, who are currently at war. He's come to rescue the dog kingdom from the cat kingdom that had abandoned there treaties and have taken there termites. Down to the last, they desperate seek the aid of a strong hero! Tags: Moe, Romance, Slice of Life, Action, Adventure, Comedy, Drama Gugure kokkuri-san - A girl summons the fox spirit, Gugure, using an old urban legend. He appears, and asks what it is she wants to know. The girl throws salt and wards the evil spirit away, angerying the fox spirit, threatening to haunt her for her trickery. Unstunned, she continues. As he gets to know her, he feels pity for her, and moves in. Starting a pretty hilarious anime version of 2 and a half men. Tags: Comedy, Slice of Life, Yokai

I love Sengoku Era history, but after sitting through Battle Girls Time Paradox, I can't stomach another show that would portray Hideyoshi as the hero. Tokugawa Ieyasu FTW!!! Battle Girl Time Paradox was just plain awful. Oda Nobuna is actually pretty good, my only complaint besides the heavy use of loli's they admittedly, are all awesome characters is the lack of more episodes :3

There's something about Touma you need to come to terms with to enjoy him: His hand is the Miracle Breaker, it destroys all things that are unimaginable for us to control. Having had this power for as long as he can remember, it's effected him in every way manageable without being abrasive. His luck is crap because miracles just don't happen for him, so his life is littered with one bad thing happening after the next, with only his perservance proving to have any effect. So he's a hard working guy, used to life shitting on him.

Removing that human side opens up the story to all sorts of potential - we still have no clue where this will all be going. This show is definitely this seasons top pick for me. Snow White and the Red Hair - This is definitely just slice of life with romance, and it's pretty good. 8/10

One Piece visuals throw me off and make it harder to enjoy, Bleach S4 is terrible, Naruto has way too many fillers, and Inuyasha hanged on one issue way too damn long. Fairy Tail has a way of constantly resolving then bringing a new appeal, the time ark is kinda draggy, but over-all, the show really grows on you.

Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 656	Posted - 2015.08.02 07:05:00 - [171] - Quote Everything Dies wrote: Alright, so I've come across (no pun intended) a "Heimdallr" show: Yosuga no Sora: In Solitude, Where We Are at Least Alone 7/10 Haruka and Sora, twin sister and brother, have lost their parents and must now live on their own in a small town where they used to spend their summers. Can their lives move forward peacefully, or will the past come back to haunt them? Yeah, it's a crappy description. I watched the first four episodes and was like, "Wow, the MC's already fallen in love? How does this show move forward?" Then comes the fifth episode and it all clicked into place (that, and a quick visit to the wiki page confirming the origin of the show.) In essence, you have one storyline that has four separate branches. If you're at all familiar with visual novels, you should know how this goes (and that includes the "payoff.") Alright, so storyline 1: A basic romance storyline that I thought was setting the grounds up for a harem show. I was quite mistaken! In a word: sweet. Story 2: An alternate path of the first story, less romantic but far more emotional. Ending was a little too happy-happy for my tastes. Story 3: Ah, wherein the events of the past come charging directly into the present! Romance and rivalry take center stage. Story 4: Forget the "darkest timeline"--this is the "Heimdallr timeline." Pretty sure you can figure the workings of this storyline. Can be a bit disturbing to watch. So, yeah. Good story, okay story, good story and creepy story. The "bonus" story at the end of each episode is good for a chuckle, as well. Word of note--this goes well beyond ecchi, folks. Talking straight-out hentai (minus the genitalia) at times; this even carries on throughout Heim's story, so be forewarned. Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention how awesome the musical score is. The same melody is repeated quite often, but the impact of hearing it performed solo on a piano or accompanied by a full set of strings makes it wonderful. I gave the show an extra point for the music alone. Now, to go outside and cleanse myself with a cigarette... I'm going to ask you to justify that 7, i gave it a 5. I found half of the girls annoying, the girl with glasses wasn't so bad, but everyone else was just weird, and the different routes highlighted how awkwardly they are when they aren't the focus. One girl never gets a route, easily the most interesting character, and the show turns her into nothing but a snooping *****. The sister is a sex crazed maniac thinking more of her personal desires then anything realistic, she's nearly a nut case honestly, and most of the characters could be defined in one word.

And it's awesome how brutal this show is compared to it's previous counter-part. But the story has a few loose ends - like what ever happens to Sakura during the whole story? It looked like FSZ was set up just so they could make this show stand out from it's background more - but all the pain and suffering Sakura goes through in FSZ apparently amounted to a total of 10 minutes of screen time between 2 seasons. And there explanation of magic was strange - if Rin has magic circuits - why do the majority of her spells require her to use outside sources to empower her spells? She apparently has enough magic to replicate Archers Marble - so that's confusing. And Shinji - a character who actually deserves to die, gets treated warmly by the sister he physically abuses, and saved by the girl he attempted to ****. Thankfully they gave us episode 25 to wrap up things nicely and expand upon this universe that we constantly glimpse into but never really get to know. And i really disliked how Saber was handled. She was more of a woman then a warrior in the second half, dressed in a wedding dress for no reason given and bounded. Which confused me - was that necessary? One minute she's caressing saber infront of the priest to show off her her puppet - the next she needs her bound? Still, a good watch, and easy to recommend to anyone not familiar with the series.

(Invaders of the Rokujyoma!?) 8/10 On his own and entering high school, Satomi finds an apartment to live in for an unbelievably low price...but there's a catch. An accident at work and a chance encounter with a mysterious woman awaken Satomi to the world around him--first off, there just happens to be a ghost that shares his apartment! As if that wasn't enough, aliens, magical cosplayers and subterranean people all descend on his apartment, each with their own plans and reasons for why the apartment has to belong to them. But at a price this low, will Satomi be willing to give up his new home? As a harem comedy, this show was pretty sweet. I initially watched the first episode before going to work a few days ago and was pretty "meh." I decided to give it another shot and was hooked; the characters are all likeable and not overly-dramatic. You won't find a whole bunch of emotional "Why do I suddenly feel this way/Why is my heart racing?" angst--instead, you get simple storylines in which the girls discover feelings (I'd hesitate to go so far as calling it "romantic feelings") for the MC, all of which hint at an underlying story of how Satomi is linked to each one of them. There's obviously much more at play here but, alas, we don't get to discover that over the course of these 12 episodes. Satomi, as an MC, is very likeable and relatable. This isn't your standard "boy loves all the girls!" harem show; Satomi has his eyes set on one woman (who also happens to be very likeable) and the actions he takes for the other girls are done out of simple kindness. He wants to be a good person and help the people that he grows to care deeply about. Animation is solid, the characters are all attractive and there's a decent amount of comedy to keep things light-hearted. No nudity or ecchi, really. Definitely worth a watch. It felt too much like a set up then an actual show - the plots were designed to bring out the best in the girls while letting you getting to know them - and by the time that's all concluded the show ends. If another season comes, with this set up it should be pretty good. it's an enjoyable dynamic and twist.

Also, i don't think the teacher is actually alive... or even really there. The other girls have yet to acknowledge her themselves, instead, refer to her as if she's around but not there. Every single time there's a skit involving her - the MC is the one engaging her in conversations, and if you notice, she repeats a lot of what the teacher says, letting the other girls seem like they're participating with the teacher.

I adore Tsukihime, I'm just pointing out its weaker parts while telling you the the whole package is worth it. THIS CHAIR is actually a bit memetic among Tsukihime fans. The scene with the chair is actually a VERY good scene showing the depths of a certain persons madness and insanity. Seriously, Tsukihime is old but fantastic. Power through its age problems and tackle the story head on. I disagree Waifu's need to be perfect - it's more like perfect for just you. I doubt anyone loves Hina from Hayate the Combat Butler like i do. and I doubt anyone likes the girls from Meyo Neko Overrun like i do :3 To quote from a certain "Manga" website. Hina is easily the best of the bunch. Possibly followed by Mariah. I just doubt many people even know what that show is... sad, really. Nina and Mariah are fantastics... and now that i think about it... isn't Mariah the perfect Waifu?

Since "waifu" is too big of an option, we will have to narrow down the waifu aspects but I don't want to narrow down to a specific anime with the best waifu to choose from (too limited) so I thought we could do age restrictions, eg under 18 and over 18 (it sounds ridiculous yes but most female protagonist are under 18 - high school settings are the most popular anime setting after all) loli and no loli (yes i know what you're thinking, lolicons do exist). I think those two limits will be enough for now. Thats the waifu aspect done. Now the poll. I think the poll that anime trending uses to get votes will be enough for the poll. I guess there will be a box that you can suggest waifus and I'll (or whoever is in charge of the poll) will add it up. I also think there should be more than 1 vote (1 waifu never is enough ( -í-¦ -£-û -í-¦) ). Maybe we could separate them between each year and we could have 1(+) vote for each year. Should i put the poll here in a separate topic? One last thing before I open this up for suggestions, is this a poll to see dust (player's) favorite waifu? I got a lot of other stuff I want to discuss but can't remember it all. Will need some people to help me do it and everyone to give me (waifu) suggestions. Touka Takanashi. I don't even need another waifu. Under 18 is Ayano Sugiura. Oh, and can I marry Rie Kugimiya's voice? I'll be damned if that's not the best VA in existence. REVIEW TIME: Maid-Sama This one was pretty much average. It had funny moments, and was just a normal romcom where our highly tsundere female MC keeps getting flustered around our hunky male MC. For some reason it was seen to make it a 26 episode series which makes watching it almost painful. It could have easily been a 12 or 13 episode series. They just kept making up new ridiculous situations. The show really shined when it was actually following its premise, in which the serious student council president is secretly a maid working at a maid caf+¬. However, it quickly shoved that plot aside. Fortunately, it didn't completely lose sight of it's gimmick, and returned to form sometimes. Still, I can't really recommend it. Maid-sama - i forgot bout her, she's easily another top Waifu. Also easily one of the best romcom anime. Misaki is a pleasure to watch as she suffers through life, her only luck being in love and that gets her into more then she can honestly handle being from a dirt poor family. I gave maid same a 9/10

Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 700	Posted - 2015.08.08 07:33:00 - [192] - Quote Anime has a few quirks going for it - Firstly, the material source exist first elsewhere before it's made into an anime - so before anime is even made to begin with, it already had some kind of fanbase. But for me - it was always how the character shares and grow. Anime characters just tend to be more lovable, easier to bond with, and thus easier to relate too, giving us a more involving story. We want to see more of the character we enjoy. When it comes to hollywood the show needs to be pretty damn good for us to really like the show - anime has an easier job of it, super short shows can be our favorites, where such things are unheard of in american mainstream tv. If a shows popular it goes on for ages. Anime is already cheaper to produce when it comes to extraordinary imaginative worlds. It allows so much more creative freedom in where the plot can go, unhampered by third parties or development costs nearly as much. but really - the gist of it is the theme's the shows come with - generally inspiring, happy, romantic, these shows value communication and being true to your own thoughts but accepting there's others around you then just you. Nothing is ever simple, even the kid shows have deep complicated matters.

Oh and the reason I did limiters is because no waifu will get more than 1 vote if we do no limiters. After the results I have received it seems like there will be no limiters, a best waifu per year and like 10(+) votes each year so that there will be a waifu with 2 votes. Also will be anime girls only (because f**k real life and its girls) There's nothing to fear here - they continue the plot of Madoka Magica by finally expressing equivalent exchange the show constantly talks about and boarders but never concludes with. If anything, it's a great continuation. I always wondered how she stopped from going into despair after Madoka became a god - and now it all makes sense.

Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 799	Posted - 2015.08.16 07:20:00 - [201] - Quote Lupin The Third - The Story of Fujiko Mine 9/10 i looooooved it. I've always been a fan of Lupin the Third's anime since Toonami held midnight slot and aired the TV series, and i can't imagine Lupin having anyone else's voice other then the dubs, and this wonderful addition to the legend may be the best yet. As put by Lupin himself, "Jigen, we're the side characters to this story, wether we like it or not." We finally get to see who Fujiko Mine really is, after 10 years of watching Lupin shows and movies Their's tons! And it takes place before Lupin meets Jigen or the samurai. The show's first episode is how Lupin and Fujiko meet, second episode is how Fujiko meets Jigen, third is the samurai, then from there they start to meet each other and we get to see how they all first came together. It's awesome to watch, especially with the VERY UNIQUE ART STYLE wink foundation But what's truly impressive was how daring, real, and charming the cast and stories were. Fujiko does not ** around. I never really understood how real the business of thievery is when you're not Lupin coming up with extravagant plans after tons of research. She has to kill to survive sometimes, she's not a murderer, it's always in order to survive, but she has to do what she has to do - she's on her own and has no one else to look out for her. The show will reveals her past and what it means to be Fujiko Mine, and i mean that in a literal sense, take it as you may. The show is exciting to watch often, the action is great, the twists aren't breath taking, but they're suited to the story well enough for Lupin to bring on the charm. And charm is something this show exhibits tons of. Fujiko is an enthralling character, very deep, just like Lupin. And Lupin's reasonings for chasing her seems so superficial, but when he smiles at the screen and gives a half ass clever explanation, you can't help but believe that's just how he feels. And it's pretty amazing that they brought him to life so well to build that kind of connection with a character. Zannigata is, as always, a fascinating to watch detective. He's sometimes portrayed as an idiot and it upsets me, he's a genius and a serious character, and the way this show portrays him is spot on. Tough, intelligent, not easy to fool. His only problems are the rookies under him. BEWARE THOUGH: Intense amount of nudity, explicit scenes and relationships. Even Zennigata is ganna get his groove on. And the show cares not about which gender is doing it to who. There's even a bit of child ** and abuse that ties deeply into things. I found the ending very satisfying, and it has a twist that made me laugh.

Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 921	Posted - 2015.08.25 20:26:00 - [208] - Quote Everything Dies wrote: Yamada-kun to Nananin no Majo (Yamada and the Seven Witches) 9/10 Yamada is in his second year in high school. Initially hoping that high school would be the place where he could find meaning in his life, Yamada's fallen back into his old habits of being an anti-social delinquent. While berating Yamada yet again, his teacher points out the beautiful, quiet Shiraishi as someone to admire and look up to. Yamada pays little heed to this advice but finds himself intrigued by her nonetheless. A chance encounter (and accident) on a stairwell results in Yamada awakening in the infirmary...inside Shiraishi's body! Yamada's eyes are opened to the world around him as he experiences the difficulties that Shiraishi struggles with on a daily basis and, after talking over their situation, he and Shiraishi (who was inside Yamada's body) figure out that kissing enables them to switch bodies...a discovery that, unfortunately, doesn't go unnoticed by certain other people. Together, the two must gather friends around them as they search out the truth behind a mysterious school legend... What an awesome show. Holy crap. A great romantic comedy from beginning to end, it succeeds in achieving that rarified air of having a couple that the viewer actively cheers on; the show avoids the formulaic "boy and girl obviously fall in love, so let's throw a bunch of obstacles at them to keep their future together in question" and instead goes with the subtle approach of having the relationship develop naturally over time. It was refreshing to see--given the plot device that the story focuses on--that the show avoids falling into harem territory. It makes it much more impactful when another character comes to the realization that she, too, loves Yamada...but understands that her love will never be returned in kind. The comedy flows freely throughout the show and generally succeeds more often than not. Characters are an eclectic mix that are fleshed out just enough to avoid stereotypical tropes. Let's see...if I had to complain about something, it'd probably have to be the structure of the show. Namely, we're treated to a wonderful six or seven episodes of watching the club come together and generally having a good time. After that, however, the story of the Seven Witches comes into play and the show rushes towards the climax. Unfortunately, this makes it difficult to care for the other witches as characters--their powers, too, are quickly introduced and then basically discarded for the remainder of the show. Animation is solid and the girls are all attractive. Shiraishi, in particular, may be one of the most beautiful characters I've seen in any show...and yet, for some odd reason, her character almost seems to be "muted" in comparison to the others; she lacks the bold, striking colors used in other characters (particularly their hair) aside from her red eyes. She is, in many ways, drawn to reflect her personality--quiet and unassuming, yet strong and resilient. Music is decent. A few moments of ecchi but no nudity. Verdict: Must-watch. Perhaps the best romantic comedy I've seen amongst anime shows. Do yourself a favor and watch it! For the Record: To know Shiraishi is to love Shiraishi. What an unbelievably great character!!! It was the 'flow' that turned me off this show, ultimately. Rather then watching an interesting Rom-com that it's set up as - we get to see an episodic mixed-harem adventure whose romantic side gets used as a plot-device rather then something to watch the show for. what i mean is - look at Toradora. The issue all falls in line to be the same things, but a shallow look you would just see males and females acting out against each-other immaturely - aka, it's believable because the real messages are in the under-tones. But with Yamada there is nothing to look for, nothing to find, the show gives it to you all right away, then teases you with a plot that look like a real romance might blossom from - but instead is a plot device to give the characters purpose - but as viewers, we never get to enjoy there moments together because they have none. we're teased with a wonderful pairing we never get to actually watch. 7/10
Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 927	Posted - 2015.08.26 23:50:00 - [209] - Quote i will be writing up quite a review soon for Hayate the Combat Butler - it's over 100 episodes of goodness, and i decided to do so in the Dub. And, for the first 75 episodes, I actually really, really, really liked the Dub. Nagi, Hayate, Mariah, Hina, everyones voice is spot on, and in Hina and Maria's case - better then the japanese VA. But as i get half way through season 3 there is something i can no longer take in the Dub - and that's the switch in voice actors. A new company takes over the dubbing to Season 3 - and, for the most part, it's fine. Maria got worse, everyone else pretty much feels the same, that's a good thing. Until Hina comes. Wtf. It's bad enough they pronounce her last name completely wrong, "He-na-g-ku, compared to, Hyna-g-kun. i don't know why the spelling changed all of a sudden, but it burns my ears. Especially since she's probably THE most impressive character in the show, ranking up as one of my all time favorite character, a true weapons grade waifu. But there interruption of her in the Dub in S3 is just ***** horrendous. Hina is a tsundere, she's suppose to have a lil spunk mixed in with maturity. Noble, confident, she sounds much like Holo from Spice and Wolf, and the two characters are a lot like, but Hina is more on the serious side, who dere moments are like over-loads of cute. The first two seasons have her perfectly, in fact, I can't imagine her with any other voice now. And comparing it to this unconfident, homely, sounds like she's never spoken up too loudly because a man might slap her for it, season 3 interruption is sad. I just wanted to rant about it. The show would of continued to be an awesome watch if they hadn't **** up such an important character.

I haven't commented much on the last episode, if at all, but between these two recent episodes the girls from the new world have visited ours, and it's been pretty delightful. The gothic loli continues to take the spot light and makes sure the show is settled into a mature rating with both her antics and instinctual natures. While the loli-human-mage brings it back down to a slower, more realistic pace. Elf girl gets little to no real screen time, and when she does, it's always about worrying about something. Otherwise she's just been a cute doll that's charming from time to time. The red-headed-princess and her yellow-haired-tsundere-noblewoman have turned into typical girls franicking my word, means panic and freaking at everything they see. They also seem to be perverts. lol It's actually not bad to watch and see them as, since they're suppose to be the 'high borns' of there world and haven't been introduced the way the others have to our way of things. Hopefully they get a grip soon and finally develop a lil. The main character is just ... stuff? Lots of stuff. Butt loads of 'em, he keeps being one thing, then another, then something more impressive, then something more impressive then that, then it turns out he knows and can ask for something even more impressive. He's an enigma, I don't know what to think of him. I like him i guess? Lol, he's cool and chill, but his character is overly generic, you can out-guess him in every scenario, it's his comrades that make him less dull, and luckily they always keep a few around. overly the show just continues to delight me :3 9/10

The choice Lucy had to make and how it was played out - just sad. Fairy Tail really knows how to build up a moment and make it special, it's ridiculous. I haven't been so hyped for the next episode in a long time.

They're enjoyable to watch, and a few of them are even more so. Good drama, nice build ups, interesting progression, there's nothing to really dislike here. Animation is super cute and fluid at times, and the show just sprinkles moe into everything without overwhelming or beating you on the head with it. Noragami Sub/Dub: 8.8/10 I always had a hard time finishing the sub to this show - as interesting as it seemed to watch a loser god rise the ranks, the way he was a loser and how he kept proving everyone right while the show maintained the mystery that maybe he's a bad ass irked me. And for a being whose supposedly lived hundreds of years he has little to no real understanding of others, only select tidbits of what it means to be a god, and even a lot of that he doesn't know. So he's left with just being funny - and he's funnier in the dub. The show was actually quite charming in the Dub vs the Sub, but the sub's VA's obviously brought a lot more life to the characters, but the Dub didn't get lazy. Overly the show itself progression is awkward, desperately needing a season 2 to tie up the many loose ends the show talks about. And with the interesting cast I hope the season 2 supposedly coming up ends up being 24 episodes, there's a lot of fleshing out needed here. But the cast is admittedly small, half of them belong as servants to two gods. Animation for the most part is beautiful - character designs were hit and miss, and character interactions themselves were fun and fluent to watch. My biggest complaint would probably be Yamato inconsistency as a character. He's either stupid or incredibly stupid with how he handled Yuki and pretty much every decision he's ever made.

Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 968	Posted - 2015.09.06 16:13:00 - [233] - Quote Everything Dies wrote: Kimi ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de (They Are My Noble Masters) 4/10 Harem/Comedy/Drama Ren and his older sister Mihato have abandoned their abusive father and seek a new life in the city. A chance encounter results in them living and working at the massive Kuonji residence as servants to the three Kuonji sisters. As the pair goes about establishing a new life for themselves, Ren finds himself at the center of a tug-of-war amongst the sisters, friends and staff. But in the distance, a menacing shadow from the past slowly makes his way towards the siblings... Yeah, so this show pretty much sucked. Yet another harem show that spends 75% of the time relying upon comedy/parody and then trying to get all serious for the final quarter of the show; the harem aspect is the strongest part of the show...but that isn't really saying much. The actual romance aspect is downplayed for all but one character, but even that romance is restricted mainly to the final two episodes and doesn't reach any sort of definitive conclusion. The other candidates primarily serve comedic or ecchi-related purposes. Surprisingly, much of the show is predicated on the very close relationship between Ren and Mihato and the implications that Mihato has romantic feelings for Ren; however, Mihato is almost immediately relegated to bit-player status as soon as the two begin their new lives. The comedy aspects are hit-or-miss: some of the parody scenes are worth a chuckle (Fist of the North Star is pretty much a parody staple for every show by this point) while other comedic angles come across as being too forced. As far as the drama goes, it only really comes into play over the final three episodes and is completely wrapped up by the end of the show in the customary "everything is awesome" climax. What SHOULD have been the main focus of the show (the relationship between Ren, Mihato and their father) is just sort of glossed over...and yet manages to only obscure the past. Early on, the residents of the Kuonji estate are made aware of the reasons for Ren and Mihato's struggles in escaping their abusive father; however later in the show Mihato confides in Miyu that she, too, understands what it's like to have lost both parents (which Miyu even makes note of.) And then there is the conversation between father and son wherein the father blames Ren for the death of his mother...but no further information is provided. This could have been an interesting show about sibling relationships and abusive households, grief, anger, mental illness, addiction, etc.--instead, it tries to be two things at once (comedy and drama) to the detriment of both. Animation is dated and the female characters aren't really all that attractive (though Miyu can be described as cute.) Music is largely unimportant aside from the orchestra performances of actual classical music. Loads of ecchi throughout the show and plenty of nudity, though much of it is slightly obscured. Honestly, though, you wouldn't be missing much. Verdict: Pass. Never rises above average at any one thing and is hurt by the sudden shift in tone towards the end. Could have been a decent harem comedy or a good drama, but fails at trying to mash the two together. For the Record: Team Miyu, though that's pretty much because she's the only candidate with any sense of personality. I gave this show a 7/10. It may be overly generic, especially the carbon copy cast, but it's enjoyable. And it's fun seeing the underdogs do something other then suck.

I'd only recommend them to anime fans with patience lol School Live could do many things and not seem completely dull. Remember there 'school trip?' that is creating content out of your scenario. What School Live is currently, or was doing, was taking the story, plot, development, and IGNORING THEM FOR MOE TIME. The pool episode, besides the last few minutes, the only thing we learned is brown hair girl likes water guns... literally nothing but moe. And the show is progressed the same way - I thought moe was the design, not the concept, plot, and everything in-between. Fate/Kalid - whose Mimi? lol Non - Not my cup of tea. Slice of Life is one of my favorite genres, but usually if it comes accompanied with some sort of progressive between characters. Himouto! - Now this is a real moe show that doesn't hide what it is and banks on itself over and over. But the nice part of this is how it's mixed up between moe - and SUPER MOE. But like most moe shows - this one is grinding due to lack of character development or loop-sided-devolopment between side casts.

It's like the show took 9 different shows and shoved them into the same family and called 'em royalty. And it works because of how interactive the cast is with each others lives and how well/interesting they interact. While the show does keep to anime generics Blonde loli idol, for example its quick to show how it's setting and other casts differentiates itself from the rest of the shows. The weakest part of the show originally was the setting - A modern day royalty setting - it's both awkward and weird. But the show plays it off masterfully imo, making the setting itself as interesting as the characters. 8.5/10 - I'd recommend this show only to anime fans.

Slaughtering women, children, and almost every episode has some scene of despair before someones life ends. If it wasn't for Kagame and Miroko's light hearted approach to everything the show would of been far more serious.

Inuyasha clearly picks Kikyo over Kagome, and trys to leave Kagame behind - but she wants to come, anyways. There relationship is exactly that. By episode 50 he's declared undying love for Kikyo, even willing to die with her when she wants it. There is nothing here to feel annoyed about between Kagame and Inuyasha - The show states it very clearly why they aren't together and why them getting closer is making everything harder for them. And it's that exact point that the entire show is built off of. It's been a very enjoyable watch so far - 9/10.

You're all just going to continue doing the exact same thing you've been doing for the entire show? What, specifically, didn't get resolved? Sadao and co. have made it quite clear that they're happy living on Earth (Lucifer even going so far as to mention that Heaven is a small apartment.) The show heavily implies that Sadao is inadvertently establishing a nice little harem for himself as all three girls are clearly interested in him romantically... And that's where the show ends. I loved the show myself - but I agree that the ending was left flat and dry. They tried to wrap it up with some flashy scenes and throw in 'they're bonding!' moments - but it never settles anywhere that we can draw a conclusion on how it's going to end. There's just too much going on between this good vs evil that's clouded and grey area'd that the show doesn't continue on with.

Is she just going to watch him for now until the end of days? Are they going to get into a relationship? Is Emi actually going to do her job and kill him? The show explains everything you need to know about Emi and Sadao's relationship: it's no mistake that other women routinely pepper the two with questions about their relationship. And how many times do we have to see Emi blush and/or get defensive whenever the subject of Sadao is brought up? It's a typical harem ending, though the final scene with Emi giving Sadao a replacement umbrella should clue you in as to what their future holds. It's also rather obvious that the whole monitoring of Sadao/fulfilling her role as Hero are excuses for Emi to be close to him (how many times does she ask herself if she's behaving more like a stalker than a monitor?) Kail Mako wrote: What about Ente Isla? The church or whatever was highly corrupt. Are they going to overhaul it? What about the demons? Where are they going to live? What are the humans going to do now that what was basically their leader is gone? Ente Isla is no longer important to the story. Do you honestly see any character--even Suzuno--openly state their desire to return there by the end of the show? No...they all want to remain on Earth and enjoy living as humans, as they can actually be friends there and not worry about having to abide by certain roles/destinies. Kail Mako wrote: What about whether or not Sadao is even a badguy? He says a line in one of the episodes about how he never really knew that he was making people suffer, and he just wanted to give the demons a place to live? Will the demons and humans ever find peace? Come on now...the entire point of the show is how Sadao (and everyone else--even the main bad guy) finds happiness in living on Earth as a human; the show points out each and every time how Sadao chooses to use his powers to help and protect the people around him instead of using them for personal gain. When does Sadao ever act as the bad guy? We're not saying the details aren't there to draw 'some' conclusions, but it's being left to our imaginations for the most part on where it takes them. And most of those conclusions can be drawn as soon as episode 3. Nothing gets really added for the MC's relationship after that point other then watching the devil acting more human is making the hero blush. And the show mentions how grey the black and white of good vs evil actually is - if anything, it's hinting that everything is made up of good and evil, and that theme is more prevalent theme then them 'enjoying' the human world - because they're more often then not not enjoying it. They want there powers back. But we're constantly barraged with scenes showing us we don't understand the good vs evil sides at all, that taking everything at face value is wrong. It's through us watching the Devil adapt to the Human world we get to see how he operates, thinks, and adapts. It's not meant to be the entirety of the show, but the basis of how you view the characters differently then there generic counter-parts.
Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 1	Posted - 2015.09.19 11:31:00 - [268] - Quote So I took a break from Inuyasha and decided to find something new that I gave up on prematurely. It's a golden rule to give a show 3 episodes before dropping - and I wasn't being fair with Aoharu x Machine-gun for dropping it after episode 1. So I find it up around 12. It's now 6:30, I have seen everything available. And at this point, since episode 12 ends in a nice place I know the series will continue I'm going to do a half-time show review, basically. 8.5/10 - What started as unattractive, unimaginative, and un-cmpelling is quickly turned around in episode 2 with the introduction of the third member of Toy Gun Gun, Yukki. He's very dynamic, all over the place, yet it's subtly done. He, in my opinion, takes this show out of the pits of generic and into something i can't quite put my finger on. W/e it is - it makes me feel dirty. Like i'm watching Yaoi, but loving it. The entire show constantly theme's two males being a little too close to each other, and the main female herself is basically a guy in every way. But it's funny. Rather then Yaoi, it's more like the gay jokes you see kids do in high school on sport teams when people are overly friendly. It's interesting to watch because the characters, for the most part, are interesting themselves. And there relationships with each other are very dynamic - never settling in one position too long. When it comes to plot development, this show rivals Gate. It's fluent, edgy, yet fun. You'll be surprised how dark this show gets, giving you a ticket to the emotional express. Episode 12 in particular had me both feeling things and laughing, nearly at the same time. I could easily recommend this show to anyone in this game, or to a new watcher. Yukki and the shows mood would likely attract a lot viewers.

If you had someone who wasn't into anime, but you think they'd like it, which show would you recommend? Personally, I'd go with Shirobako. It's a nice paced, and very good anime that 1) Is about creating anime so the viewer gets a little bit of knowledge, and more respect for the creators, 2) Doesn't go overboard on anime tropes while still having them so the viewer can get used to anime, and 3) Is in a realistic setting that would be more familiar to people who don't watch cartoons. Each persons different so the show that may get them hooked will be. Shirobako isn't going to be a show many Westerners will like, it requires too much invested interest to begin with to make there problems and angst have any meaning. The show itself isn't actually all that good, but since it gives us insight, wisdom, and a new perspective on smething we're interested in - it hooks us, and makes the cast shine all the brighter. But it would fail to anyone not half-way already a full blown Otaku, imo. The best shows to get people hooked are either going to shock, amaze, or give them feelings. You want to shock them? Attack on Titans, Steins Gate, Prison School, Future Dairies. You want to amaze them? Guilty Crown, K, Madoka Magica, Cannan You want to give them feelings? Clannad, Your Lie In April, Toradora, Blue Spirng Ride, etc. What originally hooked me was character intensity in Gundam Wing - I had never experienced or seen such complicated, daring, and interesting characters. Western shows don't go into detail with so many plots at once, giving shows like Gundam a real feel for a universe that we're exploring with the show. But what got me addicted was Toradora and the feeling Romance shows gave.

For some reason I keep coming back to Kotegawa...I don't know if it's because of how much she struggles with her feelings towards Rito or the simple fact that she's gorgeous. Side note...what does Sairenji's future hold? She almost disappears as a character in the third season, despite being one of the two "leading" candidates. First episode of the season is heavy in Sairenji - she's definitely going to have a bright future. She's the only character with real famine charms, too. And Kotegawa would of been my third pick - I agree, I love watching her struggle, it's that Tsundere with an extra bit of Dere that gets me with her. She's very rough, yet gentle and warm. Her Voice Actor really knows how to bring it to life. Actually, every character in this show is pretty good, Momo's sister, the blonde assassin, everyone.

Didn't like the subs as much this time around as he's gone from being a "Magic Garment Girl" to a "Magiclad Girl." Sera's put-downs of him, however, have gone from "filthy maggot" to "vile piece of sh*t," so I guess it's a wash. Eu is such a fascinating, tragic character that you can't help but hope for things to go well for her. I also really like Tomonori and her struggle to become the best wife she can be by forcing herself to like the MC. Main villain is also a wonderfully tragic figure, and the show does a great job of explaining why Eu is so reluctant to grant him his wish. Am I the only person that thinks the theme of this first season is centered around gender identity? lol After watching Prison in Dub I am now convinced - Comedies are funnier in Dub then in Sub, and the Dub versions take more risk with crude language. And I'd say that gender identity was the most common themed joke in the show, it continues heavy into S2, as well. The jokes, trolling, whatever you want to view it as in that show follow a progression along with he plot - it's what makes the jokes funny, they're relevant to the plot.

What begins as a possible mind ** with horror mixed in - turns into just moe. Every moment of suspense is ruined by the shows light-hearted nature, and anything daring to force a plot progression is quickly stun grenaded then tied up by moe then beaten to death with more moe. It was bad enough that the stories set-up made half-sense, if you have a setting where people are aware before hand well enough to set up MULTIPLE self-supporting bases - why didn't they have the brains enough to set up communication between them? There's several elements like that - Apparently, these girls can go to the damn mall and try out clothes - while being surrounded by zombies. Moments like that should of been the icing on the cake, Moe should of served as the theme and not the do-all to everything the show did. Last episode was probably the only decent episode in the whole show once you realize the premise of episode 1 is full of **. still, not a horrible watch.

The world this show is centered in apparently is loaded with emotional **-weeds who all can't think far enough ahead to see possible mistakes in there ideas, plans, and methods. And the people with common sense don't care enough to fix everyone else's misconceptions. wtf kinda is that. There's so many different elements left half done or used to just make the show feel more anime cliche. Completely unnecessary scenes and development - just to remind you how generic the show can be if it really tried. I like the MC - but he became so typical i fast forwarded a few scenes because I knew what he was going to say and how and what the reaction he'd get was going to be. The show is too noticeably set up to make the MC win everything, he's better then Goku because he doesn't have to try. He'll get himself nearly killed, enemy could of just slashed a different angel cutting him in half - bu nope, doesn't happen, and it was all part of his plan, all along, every dumb thing, every damn time. And the ultimate reasoning for him accepting the COMPLETELY BS AND NON-SENSICAL "Traitor" tag - He makes a pact with the enemy, who we just barely *** find out can speak our language and communicate with us. And that would of made the 'traitor' tag MAKE ***** SENSE!!!!! I tend to rage at complete idiocy. And that would be a really interesting part of the show to built around - instead, we get this high school, everyones an idiot but the MC bullshit. I will say the characters are cute, and the VA's are magnificent considering the script is so cut-and-copy. But the animation does a poor job of creating physical suspense at critical moments - and during fight scenes you can feel them run out of budget.

Even with the censored version, the ecchi is over-the-top ridiculous; in this case, though, it actually serves as a function of the plot--poor Kimihito constantly finds himself in highly-charged erotic situations but is powerless to take action, lest he harm the girls (watch the show and you'll understand why I'm referring to them as girls and not monsters) and put the Cultural Exchange program in jeopardy. The comedy comes fast and furious and is surprisingly intelligent at times. A lot of thought was given to the characters; for example, Miia has to deal with shedding her skin. Centaurs must deal with the fact that they're rather large (and not just the horse part of their body) making it difficult to move around in confined areas. Or how harpies lay eggs. The most interesting one, though, is the mermaid character and how the tale of The Little Mermaid has shaped her outlook on love (we're not talking about the Disney movie, but the actual fairy tale.) Each major character comes to the show with a sense of innocence and it's interesting to watch as they interact with the world around them, even as "humans" constantly belittle and try to take advantage of them. This show makes it very clear who the true "monsters" really are. Like any good harem comedy, Kimihito finds himself surrounded by beautiful women with surprising ease...though the girls of this show are far more aggressive in their pursuits than in any other show I've watched. And when the prospect of a marriage is dangled before them...poor Kimihito, he may not survive to see his own wedding day. Animation is excellent and the characters are surprisingly cute (as far as faces go.) Music isn't of particular note. Loads upon loads of ecchi, and the uncensored version promises plenty of nudity in the future. Verdict: One of the best shows I've seen. Ecchi that is put to good use, plenty of lol moments and just the right amount of sweetness all come together in a great 12 episode run. Definitely hope for more in the future! For the Record: Agent Smith. My God, her voice alone... This will be the first time I'm calling you INSANE. 10/10? Try 5/10. Generic as ** plot, characters may not look generic, until they open there mouths and fit a profile perfectly. Agent Smith and the spider girl were the only decent characters in the show. An active theme of this show is if it's female - it's borderline ******. Characters in this show aren't even close to being realistic - they're over-the-top, there looks often match there personalities with how far out there they are. I doubt thinking is much of an issue for these people, since they never do any of it. They look at something then go on an immediate anime cliche trope over it.

You gimme your script first drafts, and I'll iron them out. I...... Can't actually do anything technical at all. I think first you need to decide what kind of anime you want to do. Will you do theme episodes based on genre? Will you do things like OVAs? Are you going to do currently airing ones? Are you going to stick to classic ones? I think that's the most important thing. Also, don't include numbers. A fully formulated and complex opinion can't be represented with a stock number like 7/10. You could say whether or not you think your viewers should watch it though. I assume this is for YouTube yes? I plan to review everything in my path. And yes, it's for YT. I'll be working on Braves of the Six Flowers first, then move on to a few other shows this season, then start some fan favorites. I'll send a script your way when one is completed.

Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 1	Posted - 2015.09.28 16:36:00 - [302] - Quote SoTa PoP Review Name under construction Basically, I'll be starting a test run soon to check different styles of reviews and which works best for me. The first attempt will be an episode by episode review of upcoming shows. Starting with Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers. I'll be tearing down this first episode for it's production value, entertainment value, character foundations, and setting foundations. I give the first 3 episodes of each show this kind of attention. Where does your show start, how are the characters when it begins, what happens to get them involved, and why does it have to be them. After breaking down the why's to the show, I'll be talking next about the characters individually. If it got a name in a show - then he's worth bringing up. Anime are built entirely upon characters and how they interact and grow - there's never been a setting strong enough on it's own to make up for poor characters. How characters are diagnosed: Design Likability Growth Interaction with others Screen Time Are they cute and or easy on the eyes? Do they add anything to the show or take away? Do they ever learn, listen, and accomplish anything? Is there interaction with the rest of the cast believable? And did he/she get enough air time to flesh him/her out or ruin her/him further? After setting and characters are labelled and explained, then we get to the episode summery and wether or not the target audience would be interested in this show, and wether or not you'll be interested in this show based on several different tastes. For example, because Rokka has a murder mystery like theme 4 episodes in with dark under-tones, you may enjoy Go-Sick, but if you liked the show for it's visuals and intensity, you may want to try out The Legend of Arsland. Opinions and or concerns/help would be appreciated. I'm basically going to be constantly firing in the dark hoping a spark lights and takes hold.

The shows pacing does a wonderful job in letting us watch the female MC grow as a person as she goes from one of the most disliked girls in school despite her good nature, to the saint of the school.

The staff from Shaft involved in it's productions were the same people who did Hidmari Sketch which is a very slow slice of life shows about cute girls doing cute things.

The girls moe character design serve to contradict the stories very dark nature. Not a moment is wasted in the plot continuing the story and mind-******* you endlessly. Where as AoT is what you see is what you get. Though AoT does a magnificent job in constantly hiring the bar and creating suspense, it fails at creating proper character motivation or growth. So many characters left high, no growth, one dimensional, existing for no purpose other then to push an atmosphere. There's a lot of skipped scenes and untold story. And it's pretty easy to see why when you google the people behind the show - they didn't expect it to succeed, and was designed specifically with the idea of promoting the manga. It took them by shock how popular the show became, and if they had another shot at it we'd probably get much better story. AoT focus's too much on atmosphere and the gravity of issues rather then the individual points that all shows are built upon - the characters. But because of how intense AoT is a lot of the holes in the story get glossed over. AoT is damn exciting. But so is Madoka Magica, and in MM I actually know and care about the characters, lol. Madoka Magica does what AoT either refuses or couldn't do - it fills you in on everything without letting you know there's more to look for.

Compared to today's animation, style, use of CG, and character chemistry, Lucky Star is going to fall short. But for it's time it blew everything else out of the water in terms of charming characters. To this day it has one of my favorite character of all time, and I'll let you guess who.

I SHALL LEAVE NOTHING UNWATCHED!!! it was entertaining but Nichijou is far suprioior i my opinion... It was funny the whole way through and some sad parts but its something you can see as funny no matter what and you should watch it if you haven't. AoT i gotta watch I already saw eps 18-20 and 2 before those or after (16-17 or 22-23) and magical girls ive seen 1 dubbed ep on tv dont even know what ep but i will watch it eventually subbed of course.. anyway im gonna download eps 8-13 of Kimi and watch it on the TV while finishing lucky start.. As for SAO its a great anime to start with but very different overall opinion on the anime from viewer to viewer. You either hate it or love it pretty much, i for one loved it as it was like my 2nd or 3rd anime i think first was clannad and i might as well share how i got into anime... i saw some hentai that was a 1ep one but dudeeee i pulled up my pants 5mins in and was there for the plot and wanted more and a few google searches later i found clannad and watched that and cried my eyes out and i guess i never knew i could react like that to a anime and i just had to have more and was hooked pretty much... Nichijou takes epic out of no where to a whole new level. We need more shows like those. Yuru Yuri, Nyon, and the others are fine, but Ordinary Life aka Nichijou was just plain epic.

Since you listed Naruto and DBZ on one side, i'll assume you mean Jap, in which you'd be correct for myself, for the most part. I do adore Fairy Tail. And who could hate darker then black. But I have issues with long standing shows who don't take the time to fill in the holes in there plots. And on that regard i give One Piece props - but it's too ugly for me. I gave it 100 episodes and dropped it due to that sole reason, and I'm probably a terrible person for it. DBZ i'm looking forward to the newer episodes. But i wish they'd dub it super quick, the sub counter-parts make the show sound like a joke. as for Naruto.... love the Ninja Storm series for the story telling on the story - takes out the fillers, gets right to the juicy part. And in that formula - Naruto is a fantastic story. But as an anime, it's boggled down by poor director choices and more fillers then my plate could handle. Bleach suffered a worse fate. and Pokemon isn't worth talking about as a show. There's Pokemon season 1 - then everything else. I suggest checking out Pokemon Origins for a better pokemon experience :3

You are just saying that because more boobs and ass. No one watches Black Lagoon for boobs or ass, all they do is out-line them, they hardly show anything. Black Lagoons concept is just better, the show itself defines itself in such a cool way, "our MC is like the twilight, the point between light and dark." it's enabled some of the best character development of any series, back with crazy action and a bad ass cast Russian mafia boss is one of the coolest chars of all time it's just miles better then anything else in it's genre. It's deep and meaningful story can relate to so many different walks of life because it deals with very real issues for a working man. Cowboy Bebop isn't 'deep', it only appears so because of it's jazzy melancholy atmosphere, there's nothing mind blowing going on with the story, it's just the characters are so damn interesting/cool. It's actually a very cut and dry story. Cowboy Bebop vs Baccano also makes Cowboy Bebop seem inferior - Baccano pacing is absurd, hard to keep up with, but it enthralls you with it's unique narrative and interesting twists and mixes of fantasy and realism in an early 1900's setting, it's fantastic.

I don't really mind you missed Cowboy Bebop because, as far as anime goes it's far more western relatable, thus why it's more popular here then it is in japan, CONSIDERABLY, so. But Trigun and Black Lagoon... how could you? The others I could also forgive, but those two are must watches.

Speaking of lots of anime, how many new anime are you guys planning on picking up from the Fall 2015 season? My plan is somewhere between 7-21. It really depends on if I want to try to clear out some older ones as well. I will watch THEM ALL! As for long winded series - i agree, I hate them. Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, I can't honestly stand these shows that will eventually, without fail, add in an entire series of nothing but fillers and pointless plot progressions. The only show, the one of 3, really, is Fairy Tail, followed by Darker Then Black. Hunter x Hunter I hear gets good, eventually, and Hitman Reborn sucks **** the first 50 episodes, seriously, but after that point turns into one of the better shows.

The first attempt will be an episode by episode review of upcoming shows. Starting with Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers. I'll be tearing down this first episode for it's production value, entertainment value, character foundations, and setting foundations. I give the first 3 episodes of each show this kind of attention. Where does your show start, how are the characters when it begins, what happens to get them involved, and why does it have to be them. After breaking down the why's to the show, I'll be talking next about the characters individually. If it got a name in a show - then he's worth bringing up. Anime are built entirely upon characters and how they interact and grow - there's never been a setting strong enough on it's own to make up for poor characters. How characters are diagnosed: Design Likability Growth Interaction with others Screen Time Are they cute and or easy on the eyes? Do they add anything to the show or take away? Do they ever learn, listen, and accomplish anything? Is there interaction with the rest of the cast believable? And did he/she get enough air time to flesh him/her out or ruin her/him further? After setting and characters are labelled and explained, then we get to the episode summery and wether or not the target audience would be interested in this show, and wether or not you'll be interested in this show based on several different tastes. For example, because Rokka has a murder mystery like theme 4 episodes in with dark under-tones, you may enjoy Go-Sick, but if you liked the show for it's visuals and intensity, you may want to try out The Legend of Arsland. Opinions and or concerns/help would be appreciated. I'm basically going to be constantly firing in the dark hoping a spark lights and takes hold. I've decided to hold back on Episode by Episode reviews for upcoming releases, since it's a good timing for that.

As time went on, members of the guild gradually left until Momonga finds himself alone as the server is finally taken offline...but Momonga remains inside the game. He is now living as the undead character that he created, surrounded by the NPCs that he helped to create, though they all now have wills of their own. Together, they find themselves in an unfamiliar world. Thinking that it must be another game world, Momonga sets off on a quest to spread his guild's name in the hopes of being recognized by other players... Theme: Humanity and the nature of free will. A run-of-the-mill series that follows in the footsteps of No Game No Life by introducing an MC that is vastly superior to those around him...and then giving the viewer little reason to care about him as a person. The show points out that Momonga is no longer capable of expressing emotion, but what he has really lost is his humanity--his actions are entirely self-serving and views everything in the perspective of whether or not it will aid his plans. Most every other character in the show is flat, one-sided and utterly forgettable. Worst of all, however, is that very little actually happens during the 13 episodes. Everything serves to hint at or set up a larger story, but that's as far as it goes; there are no major revelations or main villains. Comedy is generally poor and worth little more than the occasional chuckle. Art is solid and the MC looks like a souped-up Skeletor. Female characters are generally mediocre and none are memorable. Music is good. Verdict: A waste of time. Considerable potential that is spoiled by an uninteresting MC and a lack of any real story progression. I think there was a miscommunication between you and this show. Firstly, the MC is anything but self serving, he makes up excuses to his selfless actions to make them seem selfish to his comrades to put up a front, he still has his human heart, including the thoughts and emotions., which makes him very human still, it's just he's not allowed to act upon these emotions. So when he feels them, they're nullified. But it doesn't change the fact the feelings have to be eliminated as they occur, and the thought process and person behind the feelings is very much there. And shows this time and time again by caring about the frail humans, sometimes gifting them beyond reason. Remember that wall around the village? Secondly, the entire cast is almost made up of NPC's, they're specifically designed to be one dimensional, with tidbits of more in there description to be used as a plot device. The humans in this world aren't as one dimensional, showing regret and confusion, and showing them at times making tough choices, or choices they don't like. The plot sort of forces the humans to be more realistic then the demons, trying to create a link between us and them so we can feel compassion for there plight, while creating a bond between gamer and anime viewer. The show definitely goes NO WHERE fast. 13 episodes felt more like 6. And the shows director decision to focus more on the adventure side of thing instead of finishing fleshing out the world was a horrible decision that'll likely lead to a future remake. Potential is definitely there.

Potential is definitely there. I disagree. The show points out the instances wherein his humanity is suppressed with that flicker-type deal. How often do you see that occur? Times he acts out of kindness: -saves the girl and her little sister and gives them a healing potion + goblin horns -??? Times he acts out of his own interests: -sends the warrior out to do battle and lets his allies be slaughtered before swapping places with him to learn more about the enemy -demands that granny give him everything as payment to rescue her grandson -admits that he would do the same thing as the insane Clementine -plans to kill/maim the King of the Forest to increase his fame, even at the risk of increasing monster attacks upon the nearby village -kills the other adventurer that wants to hunt the vampire And that says nothing of the fact that he admits to himself that the deaths of those humans around him do nothing to him (note the lack of flicker effect as he states this.) He is, in fact, still treating everything around him as nothing more than a video game and therefor operates without fear of consequences. As for the characters, can you name one unique personality, outside of the MC? They are all generic stock characters indistinguishable from most any other anime that shares similar genres. Saves the girl, avenges his friends, ends the necromancers plot in a needless way, often give advice to others to keep them safe. And the third episode he made it clear he wasn't going to get too involved in the world yet till he fully understood it. That's why he let the knights go out to die. Had the main knight not talked to the MC, he likely would of ended up dead himself. Also, remember, the MC didn't step in until the attacking force declared they were going to slaughter the village next. so the MC took a stone and hit two birds, he saved the very popular knight to increase his fame, and protected a village under threat again. Which was probably his plans from beginning after he decided to protect the village and build his name through them. And he's basically taking granny and her kid out of area's not under his influence and putting them somewhere safe. Remember, that kid is dangerous to him, and that old woman seems very knowledgable. He has uses for both of them. He talks tough, and he might back it up, but only to put up an image. In the back of his mind he'll be berating himself over it. And the 'village' in question to be in danger was the one already being protected by him. At this point he had already seen what the area's local demon life are like, they aren't much more effective then the guards he left at the village. Plus, if you remember, before he even entered the forest it was completely scouted out by one of the twins, who special ability apparently is monster taming and controlling.

It's not a review more then just a test of the editor and recording value. Here's the channel I have made thus far for this. If anyone is good with images, I want Anime Empire placed next to her to complete the look. After watching "SoTa's first video" I have a few things to say. First of all, I recommend watching channels such as DouchebagChocolat, CyanideBlizzard, GLENLOVESANIME, and Misty Chronexia. These are channels I personally enjoy for watching anime related content. You'll notice that Misty, and DemoD have built up quite a fanbase, so watching them may help in the kind of personality you need to be successful. The second thing you'll notice is that each one sticks to a format. While it's not bad to experiment, I'd say that you should start by using only one style. It sounds to me that you'd be most comfortable doing "should you watch" styles. However, do not be afraid to stray after you've built a fan base. I heavily recommend doing a "top ten" video or two. Those always draw a large amount of views, and would be great exposure for your channel. The next most important thing is schedule. YouTube's subscription feed is notoriously spotty. If your fans don't know when you have posted a video they won't watch it. So I recommend doing one video a week, or one every two weeks. As you get more experienced you can make more videos. The second thing a schedule helps with is format. Let's say you start with "should you watch" style, and you post every Friday. Well, if you ever feel like expanding you can do "top tens" which you post every Wednesday. You might go even further and start doing "first impressions" every Tuesday. Etc. Different people will be drawn by different things. This will allow people who only want to watch one type of video to know when to check in. Finally, be professional. You definitely want a script written before hand. Winging it can sound bad, and can make you have problems while filming. It doesn't hurt to have little intro and outro segments. Actually, including them can be beneficial. They can be when you interact with the viewers, but for the most part stay on topic. 90% of your video should be on topic. Oh, and feel free to pull anything directly from me. As long as you credit me somewhere (it can even be in the description) you can use direct quotes. Also, I already stated that I have an interest in being a writer. So, if you wanna PM your email or something? I read through this yesterday and it was great insight, I've made a few changes in direction, and I've understood from the beginning my format, or style, is very important and would define the foundation of my show, where my personality will sell it. My email I'll leave here for everyone in case you guys find something interesting, [email protected] I'll be checking out your links soon after I finished Devil part timer.

Seriously debating going out and buying the new Disgaea game tomorrow. Has anyone seen the anime version? SoTa: Having re-watched The Devil is a Part-Timer, would you agree that Chiho is actually the main character of the show? Mao is obviously the protagonist, but I get the sense that what the show is actually "about" is Chiho--as the only human starring character--and how she acts as the fulcrum for many of the events. nah, I would say she's generally used to share a different spectrum, or perception on events. With Mao we have the demon side of the issue, with Emilia we have the honest folks of her land, with the loli assassin we have the churches perspective, and lucifer and the other guy are generally just comedic relief and plot pushers. Chiho is a mix of plot pusher and human rep. If the story continued and pushed the romantic angle more - i might of understood where you're coming from. But the show obviously puts the most focus on Emilia, besides Mao himself, she gets the most screen time, and her friends get fleshed out more then Mao's general companions. So if anyone else besides Mao would be considered main, it would be Emilia.

You record what you want to say first, then attach clips to help explain and entertain. That should eliminate my use of long-winded sentences, and help structure the video. But what most of the other YT's do is cut the audio and clip of them stuttering or gathering idea and just continue the video as is. It has a neat effect, but it looks unprofessional. If my audio is going to be broken up it'll be due to separate segments requiring different amount of attention, such as the Anime Empire News, where i'l be moving from article to article. Otherwise I'll be aiming for one shot voice overs, which will lead to me having to write up scripts, and that's fine, because I find these types of delivers more on point, fleshed out, and easier to follow. I'm trying to cater to the casuals who may know nothing of any anime, ever.
Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 1	Posted - 2015.10.06 00:42:00 - [366] - Quote The Devil Is a Part Timer. Intro* Welcome to a SoTa PoP production review of The Devil is a Part Timer, today weGÇÖre going to ask the age old question, does the ending have the power to ruin everything before it? LetGÇÖs find out while getting to know one of my favorite shows, Developed by White Fox and Directed by Naoto Hosoda, better known for his work in Future Dairies, the story follows mao the demon lord and his companions as they flee from human prosecutors from another world into our own. while here, heGÇÖs introduced to multiple problems, ranging from no ID, no money, to no clue. Eventually landing himself residency in a rather volomptious land ladies apartment, and a job at MgRonalds as a part timer. On his way back from work, he meets the gorgeously designed Emilia Justina, the Hero of Ente Isla, an encounter that would set the pace for the rest of the show. Did i mention the character designer, Atsushi Ikariya, was behind this show? YouGÇÖll know him from character design and artwork in the Fate Stay Zero/Night series, heGÇÖs amazing) but back on subject, itGÇÖs through these two characters interaction and chemitry, mao and emilia, that the show builds up great levels of tension and comedic relief, bouncing from dramatic moments of coming to terms with the people who slaughtered your love ones, then flipping it on itGÇÖs head to turn it into a romantic twist scene. ItGÇÖs in moments like these that Demon is a Part Timer makes a name for itself, combining a modern day fantasy slice of life routine that will often make you laugh out loud. Though the show sticks to typical comedy bits, love triangle, misinterupted moments, a romantically clueless MC, itGÇÖs done so with enough flare and unique identity that you wonGÇÖt find yourself comparing it to scenes from another show, something that often happens to me, especially romantic comedies like these. But Devil is a Part Timer isnGÇÖt really a romantic comedy more so then just a comedy, yes thereGÇÖs elements of romance and building of relationships, but it doesnGÇÖt go anywhere, and with no news of season 2, calling this show a romance is a bit of a stretch. But itGÇÖs still something romance fans will very much enjoy, itGÇÖll cater to the typical tropes fans will find familiar, but it also looks for new ground for a Demon and Hero to build upon. Ultimately this leads no where as we get to the discussion about the ending, and ask once again, does it ruin the experience of everything before it? Now, with a show like Devil you really donGÇÖt watch it for intense drama, gripping moments, or even the character growth, you watch it because itGÇÖs a fun show whose self-awareness turns what would of been an average show, into something much more entertaining, howeverGÇª the show is not without itGÇÖs plot holes, and it honestly didnGÇÖt do enough of a job fleshing out the discovery of our world. The people from Ente Isla are almost completely unfazed by our 1,000 ahead of them technology. Mao himself seem quite impressed, at first, but after a quick mention about a magical car and food preparation, his excitement about our world fades and quickly and turns into something closer related to a bitter video game vet why ccp, why!* But those holes are more minor details used to give your show more of a realistic edge, Part Timer obviously puts more focus on being fun and entertaining, so youGÇÖl want to judge it with the same spectrum you would with a show like Fooly Cooly or Gurren Lagann. You can try to judge it to the same standards as Steins Gate, another fun anime that has a much more serious tone, but then youGÇÖll be overly complicating a plot thatGÇÖs meant to be taken at face value. So where does this lead the ending? The ending of Part Timer is open ended - meaning, there is no ending. It ends the same way any other episode would, giving us no closure, nothing to give a feeling of a complete story. It leaves you hungering for more, and obvious bait to go read the original source, which in this case is the Light Novel. You can see why that would lead to a lot of bitter reviews over the story of Devil Part Timer, but should that destroy the journey to the end? ItGÇÖs my opinion it shouldnGÇÖt, especially with a fun comedy like this one that never intended to give you a Future Dairies experience. Did the fact that the show ended poorly for you change the fact when Mao took a ball of energy to the face that the hero avoided you laughed out loud? No, you enjoyed it, and you didnGÇÖt laugh any less because later on you didnGÇÖt get what you want. So in instances of GÇÿbad endingsGÇÖ like this one, I would say one of two things need to happen before you judge it, first, ask yourself if you enjoyed the show to begin with before the ending. If it was lackluster, the ending will amplify this distaste and will lead to just a bad viewing experience. But if you enjoyed it, I implore you to take another look at the show and ask yourselves: Would i look forward to season 2? If itGÇÖs a yes, the show did itGÇÖs job well, and what more could we hope for?

A sample of how the rough draft would of sounded will be posted soon, and then I'll get to work in finishing up the edits and including more information about the plot. I still hadn't mentioned the shows theme, didn't even really talk bout characters, and just generally summarized the show in order to get to the point of "Does the ending ruin it all?" I just didn't expect the amount of time required to even edit this 5 minute video, and I plan to make the real episodes more fleshed out. Again, thanks a lot for the suggestions, and I am a horrible speller :) 15 hour straight for a 5 minute video, lol. but watching the same show over and over to find clips and moments to use ended up being a lot of fun, especially when you get others to help. So feel free to continue to support the channel in any way you guys want too, I want to incorporate several sides of the Anime Community, not just the sides I enjoy. I want to talk about shows I love, hate, and everything in-between, and meet the people with different tastes and share the experiences and or rage.

The fact that it really doesn't get it's own closure is a big killer for me. I can live with open endings, but the ending for Devil is a Part Timer was too open. Also, great review Sota. Again though, I must state my distaste for the rating system. I don't think that a fully formed opinion can be summed up with one stock number. There are too many variables. If you absolutely must give it a numbered review I suggest rating it on a case by case basis, and giving it a whole number at the end. Such as giving it something like: Characters: 9/10 Art: 7/10 Story: 6/10 Sound: 8/10 Overall: 7.5/10 Problem with this is the material in iMovies has no format that I know of to make me list things down, it's actually very, very limiting to what actual text I can put on screen, or I would be putting in jokes using text while i do review.

Though they may not have reached the point of actually forgiving each other by the end of the show, it's quite obvious that there is explicit level of trust between the two and that their relationship will deepen over time. I continue to disagree. I think that Ente Isla is just as, if not more important than every character in the show except for Mao, and Emi. The fact that it really doesn't get it's own closure is a big killer for me. I can live with open endings, but the ending for Devil is a Part Timer was too open. Also, great review Sota. Again though, I must state my distaste for the rating system. I don't think that a fully formed opinion can be summed up with one stock number. There are too many variables. If you absolutely must give it a numbered review I suggest rating it on a case by case basis, and giving it a whole number at the end. Such as giving it something like: Characters: 9/10 Art: 7/10 Story: 6/10 Sound: 8/10 Overall: 7.5/10 Problem with this is the material in iMovies has no format that I know of to make me list things down, it's actually very, very limiting to what actual text I can put on screen, or I would be putting in jokes using text while i do review. LE GASP. I was messing around with Youtube, they have there own editor! And one of them is to put text bubbles wherever you like!!!!???!!!!!!! I'ma be busy for a while <3

I can live with open endings, but the ending for Devil is a Part Timer was too open. How important is Ente Isla, though? Hell, it's only episode 2 and Emi asks Mao straight-out if he'd be willing to simply stay on Earth and keep living his simple life. Actually, is there a single character from Ente Isla that comes to Earth and expresses a desire to ever go back? Look at Lucifer--he's basically an outcast on Earth and spends his days as a NEET...and in the end, he likens his current situation to that of returning to Heaven. Given the intrigue surrounding the church in the story, I think it's fair to say that the corruption and evils of Enta Isla had far less to do with Mao and his army, and that each character recognizes the fact that they're happier on Earth. I'd like to give my two cents on Enta Isla, because if you remember I made that a point in the review. The show goes out of it's way to explain and even flesh out the importance of Enta Isla and it's politics, anything that happens there seems to have a wave or after-effect on the party in the other world. The show comments on the shakey political structure in such a way to make one believe it's on the verge of going to war between the 4 countries, even though 1 country was never freed from the Demons, or even explained. And the powers that be there are all looking for a political pawn to set up as a down-fall to cover there own asses in some way, we're given details of how awful life and leaders are in Enta Island - even Mao, having come from that world, thought all humans were simply evil, and had no idea they could be something else. Enta Isle even sends an angel, one that tried to pull rank on the loli assassin. lol If they took it out of the show, it would still be the same show, sorta, but there's nothing really going on in our world in the show - it's all happening in Enta Isle.

Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 1	Posted - 2015.10.10 23:54:00 - [402] - Quote Everything Dies wrote: Re-wind Review: Grisaia no Kajitsu (Fruit of Grisaia) Original score -- 9/10 Updated score -- 8/10 A wonderfully dark anime that loves to toy with the viewer's expectations, the final five minutes or so of the very first episode are one of my favorite "That escalated quickly" moments of any show, period. What originally seemed to be a bit of a light-hearted school-life/harem show takes a huge swerve with a quick montage of the various female characters that hints at the dark tone the show will be following. The MC is an awesome character (think Jason Bourne) but is emotionally handicapped (as explained in later movie/seasons) which leaves him as being cold and detached. The show handles his situation quite well as you can see only brief glimpses of his humanity come to the surface, with the majority of his time spent making calculated observations. The female characters are an interesting bunch (no spoilers) but of particular note is Amane, who is introduced as something of a ditzy vixen that tries to seduce the MC; her storyline (the final part of the season) is amazing and puts her earlier actions into context. The four or so episodes that center on Amane stand tall as some of the finest work in any anime that I've seen. Complaints are mainly restricted to the fact that the show has an odd habit of throwing in silly moments of humor/nudity at random times. Don't get me wrong, the girls are all cute and it's certainly not a bad thing to see them naked...but such moments seem to be at odds with the overall dark tone of the show. Also, one character gets overlooked quite easily with a bit of a throw-away storyline, despite the fact that she actually has met the MC before. I'm waiting on the dub for a re-watch, I'm guessing the westernization will be preferable since the shows comedy and dark tones seem more something your audiences are used too. And whose this girl who knew the MC before? The Maid? Wasn't that just like a few days?

And whose this girl who knew the MC before? The Maid? Wasn't that just like a few days? Waiting for all of the uncensored episodes to be released before I re-watch Grisaia no Rukuen. But yeah, the maid is relegated to a very minor role in the first season, which is surprising given the fact that she's the only one who's actually met him before. Few days or not, the MC certainly feels as though she was important in helping to "save" him at the time. The show is overly generic in an attempt to feel like a harem while being something completely else. It ultimately fails at both, because every girl, not just her, is pretty much left high and dry on being fleshed out or given back-ground, we only know what brought them here, which may or may not be related to there history. Half the time it wasn't, actually only one time it did, the Loli girl. The show also fails to deliver on action, there's very few scenes of anything actually going on, and the ones we get are great, but short lived. And some of there developments make me wonder if the show even tried to be coherent, Loli sniper, anyone? I gave it a fair rating simply for the enjoyment factor of it all, but if you get technical this show wouldn't even deserve a 5.

I'm more interesting in scenes, moments, or plot points or characters themselves that invested you in this show compared to others. I haven't seen The Order Is a Rabbit, but I've seen both Kirino Mosaic, and Yuru Yuri. Ultimately, I'd say I prefer Yuru Yuri to Kirino. While both are moe and hilarious, Yuru Yuri is just a little crazier. While Kirino relies more on the more, and airheaded cuteness of the characters, Yuru Yuri uses more insanity, and out of left field wtf comedy. What really invested me in Kirino was the Engrish, which they dropped a lot of later on. I don't know why, because having two British characters made it unique. The obsessiveness of the MC was also a large character trait that once again brought to light the foreign characters. It did offer an interesting enough look at Japan from an outsider's perspective. Yuru Yuri was just crazy, amazing, and really really funny. I fell in love with Toshino Kyouko (I will never not use her full name), and later I realized that I really liked Sakurako. She's like Toshino Kyouko, but even more immature. That's hard to do. As with all slice-of-life shows everything depends on character interaction, and Yuru Yuri handles it beautifully. Each of the 8 characters can seamlessly interact with any of the other ones. I was drawn in by the insane comedy, but in the end, it's just really fun to watch these girls have fun. Black Lagoon: I think I went through all 24 episodes in 3 days. No show has quite pulled me in like this one in a long time. I think it's because it was a nice change of pace from other anime. While the action was good, and the characters were great, what really made the show for me was Roanapur. The city felt extremely active, and alive the entire time. I do wish that Dutch and Benny got more screen time though. Lagoon Company just isn't the same without all of them. I can also appreciate the short 2-4 episode arcs. Oh, and the OP is in my top 3 OP of all time. Funny, I haven't watched The Order Is a Rabit Yet either till last night, it's actually better then I thought it would be. They deliver punch lines much more on point and the way the characters eyes are designed really does give more flesh and bone to the jokes. But I'm only 5 episodes in. Black Lagoon <3 One of my favorite shows. I love how it' describes it's MC as twilight. Also: My commentary has now reached over a thousand views :D

I'll let you guys choose the actual second show - vote for a show on this list, one with the highest votes will be the next show.
Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 1	Posted - 2015.10.15 20:15:00 - [423] - Quote Adnoah Zero - Earth, 1972, ancient alien technology was discovered on the moon, enabling man to travel to Mars quickly and easily, they dub this discovered technology, Hypergate, and begin colonizing Mars in haste. During the colonization more alien technology was discovered, rapidly improving technologyGÇª This leads to the founding of the Vers Empire, who monopolized the new technology and Mars for itself. This does not include technology to cultivate with, leaving Mars still a dry and dead planet with traces of water under the surface. in 1999, Vers, jealous of Earths natural resources, declares war and launches an attack on the Moon, leading to splintering the moon into several pieces and sending them crashing into the earth in an event called HeavenGÇÖs Fall. Destroying the Hypergate. This trapped the Vers forces on the Moon, isolating them from Mars. They construct massive fortresses in space, and decide to sit there after a truce with Earth. ThereGÇÖs so many holes in this setting youGÇÖd of thought it walked infront of a mini-gun. How did the invading Vers survive without food or water being cut off from Mars? How did Mars even get food or water when their technology didnGÇÖt enable them to create either? How did Mars turn into an inhabitable planet in less then 30 years? Why do these modern humans believe technology = god hood. WouldnGÇÖt of Earth only of sent itGÇÖs best and brightest to make colonization on Mars easier and better? Why is the princess even with the Knights if theyGÇÖre cut off from Mars in all ways but communication? What happen to EarthGÇÖs technology? We had an army on the moon? How come we didnGÇÖt have one in Mars? late 1900GÇÖs, I highly doubt countries would of unified to colonize Mars together. And we let Vers control space and moon without issue?? How were they planning on mining earth for resources when they themselves canGÇÖt return to Mars? How come Earth never tells Vers they didnGÇÖt do it? DidnGÇÖt Vers choose to advance there technology over finding ways to cultivate themselves? Air and Water can both be produced and created, youGÇÖre saying they can manipulate gravity and particles, but canGÇÖt mix H2O? And after episode 1, more questions will come flooding in. if the Princess survive, where was she, and how come no one else knew that a double was used in her entourage? Why was she unable to contact her own people when she was safely somewhere else, and how did she end up on the streets in disguise if she was suppose to be sick from gravities influence? Reviews on this show praise it for itGÇÖs political and interesting setting backed by a well thought out plot. Only finding problems with the MCGÇÖs emotionless attitude or one of the characters wasnGÇÖt good enough for them or didnGÇÖt realistically behave as they wantedGÇª. ItGÇÖs time to insert a little truth about this show: Nothing is realistic about this show. YouGÇÖd need to pretend that the average human has the IQ of mud. A group of high schoolers defeat mechs destroying entire countries, simply by using there head and environment a little. Now, thatGÇÖs good fun to watch, certainly, but once you break it down to try to understand the why you start to see problems. Creating a purposefully stupid world to make your MC seem relevant is always a mistake. And thatGÇÖs exactly what this show does. Earth is borderline ********, making every possible wrong call to make things worse, or make sure to make all the wrong calls so the show can get the tragedies it wants. All the while trying to make Earth seem as overly confident as we honestly believe ourselves, even though itGÇÖs very much aware that Vers technology is vastly superior, and has known from the creation of that empire. LetGÇÖs step away from the setting, for a moment. How are the characters?
Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 1	Posted - 2015.10.15 20:16:00 - [424] - Quote The three MCGÇÖs are Slaine, Inaho, and the Princess Asylum (a well suited name, considering her situation, lmao). Inaho is the shows main MC - he progress all the action and solves all the problems. Slain is tithe second MC - he progresses the political side of the show, showing the darker side of people and the plot. Because heGÇÖs a martian with earth lineage we get to see a very unique perspective from a Martien who symphotizes with Earth, rather then the constant GÇ£Terran scumGÇ¥ we see from everyone else. Even though heGÇÖs treated like scum, he becomes fiercely loyal to the Princess and Mars. Princess Asselyum - sheGÇÖs the contrast to SlaineGÇÖs character, where Slaine is Earthborn now living as a Martian, sheGÇÖs a Martian nobility now living among earthians? And she too, becomes fiercely loyal to her new companions, fighting a long side with them and risking her own life. Then thereGÇÖs Areash, Rayet - crazy martian girl who lost her father for being a treacherous prick Mario Kouichirou Marito - the character with the most potential that is never utilized. HeGÇÖs going through intense dramatic disorder over the loss of his friend during HeavenGÇÖs Fall - he could of been the GÇÿsenseiGÇÖ to the students, instead, heGÇÖs a useless bum most the show. Craftman, calm - whose only job is to support InahoGÇÖs bad-assery Kaizuki Yuki - Older sister to Inaho, she actually sets the shows pace, often creating the atsmosphere the show continues on with. SheGÇÖs possibly my favorite character in the show, althought they flesh her out as much as they fleshed out every other character who tied 10 seconds into the show. And then the villain himself, Saazbaum, who ties all the events together and attempts to make the show seem coherent. HeGÇÖs a dark intellectual type, and heGÇÖs not actually a villain, rather then a man who sees a problem and no real solution. HeGÇÖs the best character by far in the show. And the rest of the cast, even the ones with fleshed out background, are pretty much completely unimportant, more versions of Craftsman, Calm. IGÇÖll flesh this out more later For the most part Characters themselves are honestly fine, aside from the MC being emotionless which has itGÇÖs own qualities, itGÇÖs actually how the characters grow and come to terms with themselves and others that really made this show enjoyable for me. Two characters carry the show in this regard, Slaine and the Princess. Slain himself is the real heart of the show. Remaining fiercely loyal to his one time savior, Princess Assylum, heGÇÖs treated like scum and dirt by the rest of Martian society, but he takes it all if it means he can support his princess. ItGÇÖs through this ideology that he comes out of his shell as a character, quickly going from something closer to a slave into his own man that has earned the respect of the people around him. ItGÇÖs almost fulfilling to watch. And likewise, the princess goes through a very opposite experience, but just as gratifying. Going from being accepted to be unsure of her surroundings, then finding herself again and choosing her new comrades to fight a long side as she realizes her notions and ideas of the things around her were inaccurate. Watching these two characters grow is almost exactly why I choose anime as my main form of media enjoyment. You donGÇÖt get growth like this anywhere else, and itGÇÖs through the trouble and tribulations these two face that the show builds something to stand upon, because itGÇÖs weak settings cracks grow bigger the longer the show goes on. But two characters donGÇÖt make a show, and the rest of the cast is unworthy of mention. Or not fleshed out enough to notice them. ItGÇÖs a shame too, because character design was pretty good.

Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 1	Posted - 2015.10.15 22:51:00 - [429] - Quote Welcome to a SoTa PoP review of Aldnoah Zero! When I first started Aldnoah Zero when it was coming out I was pretty excited, Urobochi isnGÇÖt a god or anything, but as a director, he makes good shows with great twists. So when I found out he was on this project directing episode 1 - I grabbed the popcorn, and went in expecting the unexpected. Problem is, he only directed one episode, and he had no real say on character design. Leading to a strong beginning, and a lackluster middle and ending. Which ultimately made me drop the show 3 episodes in, running for my life beginning for logic to take me and never let go. But I recently picked it back up, so letGÇÖs talk about this beautiful train wreck. Aldnoah delivers an interesting experience, coupled with layers upon layers of bullshit. The setting is completely reliant on you believing everyone in this universe is brain dead. That Earth didnGÇÖt mind Vers taking all the technology for itself while being cool with sending it supplies, that Vers feels superior on a very basic principle because they stole someone elseGÇÖs technology. ThereGÇÖs so many dumb elements that needed fleshing out to make sense, but It takes very little time outside of the action to flesh out the cast or anything, you will never know anything about them or then because then you wonGÇÖt see how pretty this mech looks, or this one, or this one! But even bullshit can smell good for a second when sprayed with enough Febreeze. And thatGÇÖs what Aldnoah does, it delivers a half assed plot, backed by a cast that range from cliche to the core, to a walking corpse to an annoying loli. Then covers it in beautiful CG feebre- I mean mech battles. After episode 1 leaves you both confused and a little excited to see more, you quickly come to your senses as episode 2 and 3 focusGÇÖs more on how shiny the mechs look being slaughtered like ******** sheep. Earths obviously much inferior technology stands no chance to even causing harm to Vers KataphraktGÇÖs. Often times they only send 1 mech vs entire armies, showing the Vers trolling earth forces before slaughtering them, lol scrubs. But a high school kid and his friends using a trainee mech defeats not one, not two, but 3 or 4 of these things. lmao. The MC behind it all is basically the Bill-Nye of mech battles, making up for his suits uselessness with science! But even that eventually starts to grind, as the show continuously shows fully trained soldiers fighting with superior gear - getting slaughtered as they stand perfectly still in shoot. Someone should of told these guys to play Call of Duty to get good. And thatGÇÖs what makes our MC so special in combat! He moves! And once in a while uses science to find a solution then capitalize on it. ItGÇÖs a rinse and repeat formula that Power Rangers would of been proud of. And itGÇÖs not really all that bad, the science part, anyways, everything else is visually beautiful, but numbingly stupid. Here's a sample of how the script is going to look.

Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 1	Posted - 2015.10.16 03:07:00 - [431] - Quote Here's how the review is looking so far!
Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 1	Posted - 2015.10.16 08:15:00 - [432] - Quote How many mech shows have you seen that enlists the aid of a bunch of high school kids, royalty, a PTSD suffering soldier, a terrorist, a giant floating ship, and the need to run for your life? What, all of them? No, itGÇÖs just half of the mech shows! Aldnoah is completely original, I mean, come on! Look at thatGÇª uh, CG! IsnGÇÖt it beautiful? And that plot that uh, exists, and does stuff, sorta? Okay **** it, this show had nothing going for it other then itGÇÖs first episode was directed by Urobochi. And it knows itGÇÖs bad by how much time and energy they put into pointless scenes and action that does nothing to help the show! When I first started Aldnoah Zero when it was coming out I was pretty excited, Urobochi isnGÇÖt a god or anything, but he makes good shows with great twists. So when I found out he was on this project directing episode 1 - I grabbed the popcorn, and went in expecting the unexpected. Problem is, he only directed one episode. Leading to a strong beginning, and a lackluster middle and ending. Which may or may not of been the reason that made me drop the show 3 episodes in, running for my life beginning for logic to take me and never let go. But I recently picked it back up, so letGÇÖs talk about this beautiful train wreck. The show is about a bunch colonist, who in a single generation after discovering alien technology, went from being just normal people, to self-god-worshipping aristocratic assholes whose society seems based on who can throw the biggest stick at each other and win. The scarcity of resources apparently has made life outside of earth harsh where the strongest survive, and has left the Versians, or Martians, or whatever you want to call them, feeling bitter towards Earths vast resources. Which kind of makes you wonder how they founded an Empire that is barely self sustaining to begin with, but we donGÇÖt need to find more holes then there already is. They invade earth through a Warpgate that connected them to Earth, and end up destroying it, stranding there forces there, and sending parts of the moon hurdling towards Earth. And this is where the holes start popping up, almost 2 minutes into the story. When America was hit with 2 airplanes on 9/11, a whole area of nations was basically bombed and invaded. That was 2001. This show states in 1999, Vers attacks earth stationed forces, the battle ends up destroying our moon and devastating our planet in many ways - and we want peace. I kinda just want to know if the writer was drunk, or having a bad day, or anything to explain this lazy level of writing. If youGÇÖre going to base your show on real world setting and alter it then you need to make the reactions and results reasonable. Take the Princess assassination for instance - she was somewhere safe, and whoever set the convoy up to arrange the meeting should of been made aware, so how come when her double was killed no one just simply phoned up the big boys and let GÇÿem know itGÇÖs all cool? We donGÇÖt even know if anyone else knew of the double, the Versians are capable of bending light so they could of just made the switch trying to keep an image, but that goes against what the Princess is trying to accomplish, so why was a double sent in the first place and not postponed till she felt better to meet others and journey through the city?. Or how about the fact we launched communication satellites into space where our possibly insane warlord enemies are chilling at, who only just 15 years ago tried to invade us and only stopped because of a really, really, big boom.
Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 1	Posted - 2015.10.16 08:16:00 - [433] - Quote Aldnoah delivers an interesting experience, coupled with layers upon layers of bad writing. But that doesnGÇÖt mean I hated the watch, it was just a lot more painful then it should of been. I just donGÇÖt believe this show was fully understood by the staff behind it, otherwise I canGÇÖt explain why the story is so set on giving us no details. Very few of the cast were fleshed out, the supposed MCGÇÖs of the show are closer to plot tools to move the story forward. Inohano is a shell of a character, I donGÇÖt even know how the writers reasoned it out to themselves that this character was acceptable as the figure-head to your show. ItGÇÖs like watching an RPG turned anime with how cold, calculating, and lack of personality he has, and it only makes matters worse that all the enemy mechs are designed like end game bosses, adding into the feeling that IGÇÖm not watching the show I should of been. Some of there designs donGÇÖt even seem to have military practical use, theyGÇÖre just cliched type final bosses with 1 niche trick, wether it be a force field, rocket punch, or a jedi sword. And seeing how a bunch of kids kept tripping them up to defeat them, it was obviously very badly designed. Slaine is almost our MCGÇÖs bi-polar opposite, loaded with emotions, background, drama, he basically pushes the political side of the story forward and keeps the story coherent by connecting the plots between the MC and the villain, enabling what little flesh we got out of this story. But whatever enjoyment you could of gotten out of him is quickly smacked, over and over again, with a whip, then given explanations of Vers, stuff he should of already known having lived with them for so long, and then told to do as he pleases, which amounts to nothing Oh, there was one point when Slaine goes in to rescue our MC, saves the day, and our genius MC turns his gun on him, says enemy, and basically sends Slaine to hell. **** move. Another instance of lazy writing with how little the thought process was even explained, Slaine SAVED YOU. So you fired at him. Wtf? Princess Assyelum is the other character that shows growth in the show, similar to Slaine but in contrast to it. Where Slaine is earth turned Martian, Asylum, after having been trapped on earth and pitted with earthlings to survive, decides who her new comrades in arms are and grabs arms to fight with them. Near the end of the show, watching her come to terms with her useless nobility title yet still finding worth as a person, sheGÇÖs almost redeemable. And then thereGÇÖs the most fleshed out character of them all that the show basically completely forgot existed half way in. Yoichiro Marito, the PTSD suffering veteran who survive the first conflicts with Vers 15 years ago, but Earth in itGÇÖs limitless wisdom, covers up his report and the incident and just pretends it never happens. So he gets treated like lying dirt by his comrades and is stationed to trained high schoolers the art of mecha-combat. ItGÇÖs really a shame they wasted this character, he has everything and more that the high school kids have and theyGÇÖre beating mechs. HeGÇÖs shown heGÇÖs a quick thinker with excellent reflexes, he probably could of been the MC if Aldnoah wasnGÇÖt pandering to a pre-teen crowd. the other character, our lovely terrorist Rayet Areash, having lost her father in front of her, was an emotional bomb waiting to happen. It was painful watching her in every scene waiting to see how sheGÇÖll turn on everyone around her, and when it finally happened it was a shockingly good moment. Almost the highlight of the show, that quickly gets resolved so we can get back to more pointless plot progressionsGÇª. The rest of the staff is set up to aid our MC in being a bad ass, and the only one worth mentioning, Yuki, the MCGÇÖs big sister, didnGÇÖt get enough air time, fleshed out story, or much of anything to really give her a part in this review. I only mention her, because to me, she was the best part of the show. I love the cute yet serious military girl she played, and for her alone I may be tempted to watch season 2, nothing else made me want too. Animation was gorgeous, I hardly need to say more, you can tell this show thought it was going somewhere, or maybe not looking at the writing, I donGÇÖt know, itGÇÖs beautiful, it has a lot of charm, but the issues with the setting and plot and even progression made this a grind to watch. ThereGÇÖs very little to love sometimes. Oh, besides the soundtrack! AZ boasts an amazing soundtrack, itGÇÖs OP is catchy, I do suggest checking out the full version, because like InuyashaGÇÖs endings, it has a lot more to offer. Voice acting for the sub was, as always, great, cute, and everything in-between. But i gotta give it up to the Dub voice actors, they really tried to breath life into a lifeless cast. Westernizing a show whose writers couldnGÇÖt figure out what was going on must of been tough. Over-all, I rather enjoyed the watch even with all of itGÇÖs flaws, but would never recommend this to someone I like, maybe season 2 will fix a lot of these issues, who knows, but thereGÇÖs one thing I do know: This show sucked. and with that, I leave you with my final verdict: PASS! Watch it if you have nothing else to watch or want to see some beautiful CG mech battles. This show will offer little else but frustration, so if you're not here for visuals or music, go the other way.

That's pretty much the same boat with The World Only God Knows, which leads everyone to pick fan favorites and hope it works out - any pick is reasonable because the MC hasn't made any obvious advancements. That's why, to me, TWOGK is a bit better then other harems.
Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 1	Posted - 2015.10.16 17:47:00 - [436] - Quote Everything Dies wrote: Shadowed Cola wrote: And that's my completed script so far. EDIT: Only part I see missing is the talk about the ending, you guys see any points missing? The main thing that stands out to me is the lack of an overall plot summary to kick things off. For example, I have absolutely no idea what's going on in the show you're reviewing; the basis of your summary should be the assumption that the viewer/listener is unfamiliar with the show and proceed from there. Give us the relevant names/places/etc. (while avoiding spoilers, if possible) and a rough outline of where the show is, what came before it and where the plot is heading. So for a show such as DxD, you'd talk about who Issei is and what his motivations are as an MC. Then you could briefly touch upon the outside forces that have been at work prior to the start of the show (mentioning that angels/demons/monsters/etc. exist and have waged war for countless years) before going into what generally happens over the course of the show (you could say that after Issei's betrayed--to avoid spoilers--he makes a deal with a powerful devil that happens to attend his school and finds himself battling the forces of heaven, hell and all points in between as he seeks to become the Harem King.) From that point, you can move into a more detailed criticism of how the plot holds up over the course of the show (it's up to you how far you're willing to go into spoiler territory) and then discuss various other topics that you believe are noteworthy (characters/personalities are obviously going to pretty important, animation/music if there is something that stands out, etc.) Be sure to point both the good and bad aspects of the show as you go along and try to cite as many specific examples as possible to support your opinions. Finally, let your review wrap up with a summary of your main points by pointing the best/worst features of the show before giving your final verdict. Be sure to avoid conflicting statements such as "Over-all, I rather enjoyed the watch..." followed in the next paragraph by "This show sucked." Try to establish a format and stick with it for a little while before making any necessary tweaks (I still haven't completely settled on my review format) so that it becomes second nature for both you and your audience. This should help in both the script writing process and the actual narration when it comes to the videos. Also, you should probably look into having an episode format: how many shows do you plan on doing per week/month? Will they be episode commentaries/live watches? New episode reviews? Series reviews? Let your audience know what to expect (for example, Mondays could be a review day for select shows that just aired the previous weekend and series reviews could be on Friday or something.) Hell, you could even do a monthly "viewer mail" show to discuss viewer opinions of why you're right/wrong in your valuation of a show. Just spit-balling some ideas, here. Hope some of this is helpful! Edit: Also, I'd try to avoid using profanity if you want to maximize your potential audience; however, if your target audience is older then go with what comes naturally to you and let your personality shine. I'm going to add in a new introduction, keep what's already there, and flesh it out some more. Deleting the last few paragraphs, they don't fit, work, or flow well with the rest of the script. As for the course language - I can definitely leave it out, but for now I'm going to include them. Once I can do actual animation in my videos I can replace coarse language with cleverer ones. And it'll be episodic formula, so I probably do need to design a proper "Welcome to the show" kinda thing.

Going by what happens in Ladies vs Butlers, I think it's safe to say that he's made his choice as he doesn't particularly enjoy his date with the other candidate, due to their history together, whereas he does share an intimate moment with the Drill. 3. The problem with TWOGK is that he actively rejects any and all advances made his way, giving no indication that he'd ever pick any of the candidates; that's why I hesitate to call it a harem show as he isn't actively pursuing any one girl, much less a dozen or so. Hell, the whole point of the show is how he prefers virtual girls to the real thing! You're comparing completed stories to an uncompleted one, The World God Only Knows may end up with him picking, their is more story and it'l likely get animated. But the other shows, it wasn't clear who the pick was until the last few episodes ending the entire show. When we get near the conclusion to this show that'll likely be what happens here, and if not, you'll win this debate and this show is not a harem by any standards And i do agree he seems to just not want love in favor of lone wolfing video games, but look at the purple hair girl, rather then showing the MC he's getting involved, they show it in this character instead almost for him. You can almost be assured she'd the winner if you follow the formula of harem. I really want to re-watch this show now, you're an awesome influence, lmao.

I love this MC, he's awesome. I enjoyed it right up until the final two episodes or so, when they try to turn it into a love triangle instead of keeping the focus on the MC and the Drill. I LOATHE the childhood "friend" character as she spends 90% of the show acting maliciously to those around her and the final 10% trying to win over the MC. Side question: If you've seen I Don't Have Many Friends, what do you make of Sora's relationship with Kodaka? The more I think about it, the less inclined I am to say that she has a romantic interest in him so much as she's suffering from arrested development, and wants their old friendship back (to the exclusion of the others.) I think that's why you see the ending with her leaving and telling everyone not to look for her; she's trying to come to terms with the fact that while all of the other girls accept (and possibly love) Kodaka for who he is, she's still living in the past and clinging to what they used to be. Thoughts? :O I think you're right, actually. She doesn't seem to have a romantically developed interest in him more so then she just wants her friend back. It's everyone but those 2 who thinks of the romance. I really hate how season 2 ends, she just runs away, where's the ******* rest? :(

That limits it a lot. However, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood has one of the best dubs I've seen. 0 couple of reasons 1) Everything is getting dubbed these days 2) it's easier to work with and find 3) Not many reviewers pay it much mind, even though the westernization can dramatically impact the plots enjoyment 4) Dubs generally help bring in newer audiences. But by wanting to focus on Dubs I mean just reviews, I still plan to do much with the Sub work, including it's own rating etc.

(Tiger X Dragon) Original score -- 9/10 Updated score -- 10/10 After a second viewing, I can say without a doubt that this is one of the best shows I've seen. Ryuuji and Taiga's love story is simply awesome; heartwarming, heartbreaking, funny, sad, moving...you name it. It's truly amazing that, right from the first episode, you know the two will pair up by the end of the story...and yet the show constantly throws twists and turns at the viewer to keep a lingering sense of doubt beneath the surface. What really stands out are the numerous supporting characters; in most other shows, a character such as Ami would have been thrown in as a one-dimensional romantic rival. In Toradora, however, she becomes a key component of the show through her actions while at the same time developing on her own as a person; she's still my favorite character after watching the show again. I initially was put off by Minori's character the first time around, but I really liked her this time. Much like Ami, she is of a duplicitous nature--the character she projects to everyone else and the tragic character she truly is. She sacrifices more than any other character in the show and honestly receives reward for doing so. If Ryuuji and Taiga represent the joy that comes with falling in love, Minori represents the heartache that comes with being passed over. It's in the final four episodes or so that her character is finally laid bare and you can't help but sympathize with her. I can't think of a single show that does a better job of portraying the importance of love and family...and how truly na+»ve young people are when it comes to such matters. If you haven't seen this show, do so now. If you already have...then go and watch it again. You heard him folks - go watch it again! The Dub to Toradora is magnificently done, and located on Crunchyroll - so what'r'ya'waiting'for?!

The show teeters around development through It's MC's experience, no one else literally grows as a character, and he barely does. "Growth" for everyone else is accepting there fate and coming to terms with it, even though they're hundreds of years older then the kid telling them what to do. The setting also seems unfleshed, Is he the King of Yokai or not? They keep saying he's the lord of all Yokai, but then they talk about Yokai politics and whose on there side and not - that's not how you 'rule' others. So are they or were they ever unified by the Nura, and if so, why does Nura only concentrate on one area when Japan's actually quite large. There's a lot to notice here, there's also a plot hole concerning the kids and there discovery of Yokai - they learned, while on a bus getting attacked by Yokai, of there existence. But seems to of forgotten it..... Basically, I want criticism of the shows setting, plot, and characters.

And through him I can also emulate face palming, frustrating, anger, sadness, regret, happiness, or amazement.

Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 1	Posted - 2015.10.22 23:51:00 - [466] - Quote Everything Dies wrote: Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru (My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU) 5/10 School/Romance/Comedy Plot: Hachiman is a bitter antisocial high school student with no friends and "dead" eyes; he spends his days brooding over society's shortcomings an avoid most any and all conversation with other people. After getting into trouble at school yet again, Hachiman is forced by his teacher to join the Service Club--a club dedicated to helping others out with their problems--that consists of one other member, the beautiful and intelligent Yukino...who happens to have a personality that's as caustic as Hachiman's. Can the two overcome their mutual dislike long enough to actually help others? And can they help themselves? Theme: No man is an island unto himself. Sigh A show that starts off promising but ultimately goes nowhere. Hachiman is an interesting MC given his nihilistic outlook on life (and youth in particular) and is, in many ways, someone that I can personally relate to. Yukino is great as the "Ice-cold Beauty" and would likely be among the great tsundere characters in anime...if she ever moved past the "tsund-" phase, that is. Instead, she, Hachiman and Yui (the eventual third member of the club) are generally stuck in a holding pattern over the course of the show. It's frustrating to watch as the characters come together and begin to learn about each other (and themselves) and start to grow...only to revert back pretty much to their starting personalities by the end of the show. The best character, in my opinion, is Shizuka. She's is Hachiman's teacher and acts as advisor to the Service Club. Though saddled with the stereotypical trope of "young and single and desperately searching for a husband despite being so incredibly gorgeous" she is, in many ways, the heart of the show; she guides things generally from behind the scenes but is willing to step in and give the others a push if they're struggling. She is genuinely concerned for Hachiman's future and is trying her best to have him emerge from the shell he's put up around himself, going so far as to tell Hachiman that hurting himself to help others can be heartbreaking to those watching him. The show likes to flirt with the idea of Shizuka having a romantic interest in Hachiman but never commits to it. In fact, the show doesn't really commit to anything. It just sort of...ends. There's no sense of closure, and that's a direct result of the show's inability to flesh out the characters enough for the viewer to draw conclusions from. Hell, it's a very misleading title as there's very little romance and much of the comedy falls flat. Animation is solid with plenty of attractive characters (Yukino and Shizuka are particularly beautiful) and a running gag is how pretty Saika is...despite being an actual boy and not a cross-dressing girl. Music is largely forgettable. No real ecchi humor and no nudity. Verdict: Pass. I can see why you don't like the show. The heart of the show isn't the teacher, or Hachiman as you may of guessed, but that orange hair girl. She's the symbol of everyone else's growth, the thing they lack, she has it, wants to share it, but doesn't understand what she has to offer and thus handles things insecurely compared to the confident yet no right answer MC's. And through this that the show shines like a dull bulb, admittedly. But you're forgetting the rest of the cast that turns that dull bulb into a florescent beauty. From the 2 blonde male and female side characters, who are honestly more built to be MC's then the actual MC's, to the gay hentai loving girl, to the student council president, each of them are very well devoloped. In the beginning of season 2, when the perv girl was on the roof and explained why she can't hook up with anyone my heart fluttered. That's a such a REAL reason to not wanting to fall in love, "I'm broken." Gah. When the Blonde guy trys to show others how evil he can be through his kindness but no one understands - good stuff. When the student council president starts unconsciously handing her bag to Hachiman before meetings,more good stuff. Tiny, simple moments that turn these character from one dimensional into very real people is what distinguishes this show from all the rest. Season 1 'feel's like anime compared to the very real atmosphere of season 2, these people are dealing with issues that make or break there personality, it shouldn't be light hearted, this show was designed for a deep inside view of a guy who thinks himself broken and torn a part, and how he's not the only one, and you don't have to be alone in the pain. And that's a beautiful message. The only other show that came close to creating such unique, real people, was Toradora. Actually, just Ami from Toradora, without her Toradora would of been very anime feeling. She brought that show up to mature levels. SNAFU does this through there entire cast.

She's the symbol of everyone else's growth, the thing they lack, she has it, wants to share it, but doesn't understand what she has to offer and thus handles things insecurely compared to the confident yet no right answer MC's. And through this that the show shines like a dull bulb, admittedly. But you're forgetting the rest of the cast that turns that dull bulb into a florescent beauty. From the 2 blonde male and female side characters, who are honestly more built to be MC's then the actual MC's, to the gay hentai loving girl, to the student council president, each of them are very well devoloped. In the beginning of season 2, when the perv girl was on the roof and explained why she can't hook up with anyone my heart fluttered. That's a such a REAL reason to not wanting to fall in love, "I'm broken." Gah. When the Blonde guy trys to show others how evil he can be through his kindness but no one understands - good stuff. When the student council president starts unconsciously handing her bag to Hachiman before meetings,more good stuff. Tiny, simple moments that turn these character from one dimensional into very real people is what distinguishes this show from all the rest. Season 1 'feel's like anime compared to the very real atmosphere of season 2, these people are dealing with issues that make or break there personality, it shouldn't be light hearted, this show was designed for a deep inside view of a guy who thinks himself broken and torn a part, and how he's not the only one, and you don't have to be alone in the pain. And that's a beautiful message. The only other show that came close to creating such unique, real people, was Toradora. Actually, just Ami from Toradora, without her Toradora would of been very anime feeling. She brought that show up to mature levels. SNAFU does this through there entire cast. There's a season 2?! How'd I miss that? I'll give it a go. Currently halfway through Akame ga Kill...and I'm not sure if I'm going to bother with the rest. Knew I was in trouble when they started killing off characters and I didn't feel anything...show seems entirely plot-driven with paper-thin characters that don't interest me. I did start liking some of them, like the gay guy and pinky. I dropped the show in the last 2 episodes because it was becoming predictable, i'll try again when the Dub finishes coming out. Otherwise Akame Ga Kill ****** with me lol

And I wish I could of recorded it, we came up with so many problems and hilarious parts of the show. Like how Water ends up being the Aldnoah weakness, because almost every single time Water is the reason they beat there enemy, lol. That kind of trolling of shows is exactly what I'm looking for, it it just doesn't naturally happen flowing from a keyboard. We really should hook up some time and talk anime xD I need to do a Nura: Rise of the Yokai Review in 1 weeks time

Starting with Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan. brief reviews as always will be posted for clip notes and such for future references. And with permission, and credit given, I'd like to use some of your opinions found here in the reviews you guys write up. I watched Nura as well. Enjoyed it fairly well. I have audacity if you want to use audio for my opinion as well. Just tell me what aspect you're looking for an opinion on. The show teeters around development through It's MC's experience, no one else literally grows as a character, and he barely does. "Growth" for everyone else is accepting there fate and coming to terms with it, even though they're hundreds of years older then the kid telling them what to do. The setting also seems unfleshed, Is he the King of Yokai or not? They keep saying he's the lord of all Yokai, but then they talk about Yokai politics and whose on there side and not - that's not how you 'rule' others. So are they or were they ever unified by the Nura, and if so, why does Nura only concentrate on one area when Japan's actually quite large. There's a lot to notice here, there's also a plot hole concerning the kids and there discovery of Yokai - they learned, at a young age, while on a bus getting attacked by Yokai, of there existence. But seems to of forgotten it..... Basically, I want criticism of the shows setting, plot, and characters. The show goes back and forth a lot. When they did their flashback to his father/grandfather, I felt really disconnected until I realized what had happened. The characters looked damn near the same, and his entourage didn't help at all. His grandfather was considered King because he was the Yokai in control of the capital IIRC, more of a title than an actual power position. The show is also adapted from a Manga I believe, and more than a few things got glossed over. Yo Sota, if you want to talk anime and ****, /r/Fatestaynight has a teamspeak server where people talk, watch, play anime and related materials. I used to use Teamspeak a lot, but one day some years ago it stopped working for this computer. There supports tried, but it seems I just need a new rig :( yet Skype and the rest of the voice chats work :(

Zoku (My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU Too!) 9/10 Drama/School Life/Romance/Harem/Comedy Plot: Hachiman, Yukino and Yui struggle to keep the Service Club going as their relationships with their friends--and each other--are put through the wringer of high school love. Theme: Nothing lasts forever/is your happiness more important than the happiness of those you care about? Wow. This season b*tch-slapped me right across the face as it kicked all of my complaints from the first season to the curb. Too! is all about character development; Hachiman finds himself (uncomfortably) becoming the center of competing affections from no fewer than two (and possibly as many as six) girls, and by the end of the 13th episode the sense of dread is palpable. Someone--and likely several more--is going to end up with a broken heart when the dust finally settles. Comedy takes a backseat this season if favor of the drama surrounding high school life and romance, and one thing becomes painfully clear over the course of the season: when it comes to love, there're far more losers than winners. Hachiman isn't the only one facing trouble, however, as Hayama finds himself in a similar situation of trying to find a way to keep everyone happy, even at the expense of his own happiness (should also note how the show plays up the mystery of who he likes by mentioning that the girl in question has an initial of "Y," which leaves no less than four possibilities.) Hachiman remains the brains of the show, Yui the heart and Yukino the soul, while Shizuka continues as the driving force that constantly pushes everyone forward; it is Shizuka that constantly challenges Hachiman to face reality and decide what, exactly, the Service Club means to him, while at the same time using he and Yui to break Yukino out of her shell. Iroha emerges as a wonderful addition to the cast and her blossoming relationship with Hachiman adds a welcome amount of believable tension to the show. At the same time, their relationship demonstrates just what it is that's drawing people towards him (and not just the girls.) Haruno remains a wonderfully loathsome troublemaker that's constantly stirring the pot. Animation remains strong with plenty of cute characters. Music is decent stuff but I'm getting tired of Hachiman's weird voice. Verdict: Perhaps the biggest improvement from one season to the next of any show that I've seen. Makes suffering through the first season totally worth it. Season 1 -- 5/10 Season 2 -- 9/10 Series -- 7/10 xD You should of mentioned how drastically the animation and art actually improves season 2 - it doesn't even really look like the same company behind it. When Spice and Wolf switched hands - you could hardly tell, it looked exactly the same, but this show upgrades dramatically xD Give Nura:Rise of the Yokai a watch for me next, then let's find somewhere we can speak in person.

Caught the first two episodes before I picked up my girls. May have trouble with this show as I hate it when the male MC is a kid (can't watch Kanokon for the same reason.) Technically, I only made it about halfway through episode 2 before dozing off...I'd been up 26 hours straight, after all. it's actually his growth I want your commentary mostly on, he's a strange character. He is a kid, yes, but he also is something more. After a certain point of the show, he stops seeming like a kid completely, and starts becoming a lot more like his Yokai form. But it's an aspect of the show not 1 review out of 20 even touched upon, calling him lame, boring, and unmotivated. All completely untrue. After the first arc ends, he starts dressing like a bad-ass even as a human, wearing Kimino's when all his friends wear normal clothes, and though kind still, has way more sense of "I could just kill you" to him. But, again, every review on this show thus far is either blinded by the first few episodes lack of action, or by how unremarkable the MC is at the start.

Driven by a desire to protect his friends, and the Yokai, Rikuo Nura faces challenge both from within, and without, as he tries to balance his life, and his duties as a Yokai Heir. The showGÇÖs pacing in this regard is smooth as silk, as the human casts get pushed into going on Yokai adventures over and over again, instigating events that tie our casts together, keeping the pacing all in one place. This letGÇÖs the show naturally flow from Yokai to Human, allowing the plot to settle in-between the two, giving us a clearer picture of events. With everything in place, the show is able to flesh out relationships, subtly hint at devolopements, and continue the plot - all in one scene. This creates a fluent story telling, brought up further by the very interesting Yokai cast, who make up 3/4 the shows characters. And the Yokai are beautiful. Their designs range from flowery to adorable to creepy, but theyGÇÖre all incredibly well detailed, especially considering how flat the human designs are, with small eyes and unattractive features. The exception is the romantic interest, Kana. Unlike the rest of the human cast, her design obviously had more thought put into it, probably to contrast her from the other humans and lift her value in the show. As the show progresses, theyGÇÖll single her out, being interested in our MC in his yokai form, without knowing who he really is, and slowly integrate her into the Yokai side, building upon her relationship with the MC. ItGÇÖs incredibly interesting, especially the build ups. ThereGÇÖs several of them, from a love triangle between a human, a half yokai, and a yokai, to the political struggle and upheavels the Nura clan faces - to outside Yokai forces bringing in forces and challenging the Nura. The show has quite a bit going for it. But where it stumbles is the Shojo aspect of itself, though it does a great job developing the characters whose life will be in jeopardy when the time comes, it doesnGÇÖt have much choreography to back it. Creating very short and lackluster battle scenes. This is uncharacteristic of Shojo shows, and will lead to many people with preconvieved notions to drop the show. But if you enjoyed Inuyasha, youGÇÖre going to love this show. They have a lot in common, both shows half a half demon as MC whose son of some great ruling Yokai, they both prefer to deal with dramatics rather then action, building a plot and characters rather then sprinkling your screen with sparkles and lights. And they both have an amazing soundtrack. NuraGÇÖs soundtrack does itGÇÖs job well in setting the mood, often playing deep orchestra pieces, fitting for Yokai. The OPGÇÖs are great, especially the second one. IGÇÖm a big fan of japanese rap, especially after watching Air Gears. And though the music not be THAT good Air Gears is just, wow it is good in itGÇÖs own right, deserving of attention.

A coming of age story about Rikuo Nura, third heir to the powerful Nura Clan, that controls 72 clans of 10,000+ demons. HeGÇÖs a normal boy with normal dreams, living in a giant mansion with his fellow demons and family. He wants to keep his identity as part Yokai hidden, but his grandfather, Supreme Commander of the Yokai, wants him to succeed him sooner, rather then later. HeGÇÖs getting old, with retirement around the corner, itGÇÖs time Rikuo came to terms with his 1/4 yokai blood, and help the clan move forward. But what is forward to a clan of Yokai in the modern era? ThatGÇÖs the question our protagonist faces as he discovers what it means to be a Yokai coexisting with humans. Driven by a desire to protect his friends, and the Yokai, Rikuo Nura faces challenge both from within, and without, as he tries to balance his life, and his duties as a Yokai Heir. The showGÇÖs pacing in this regard is smooth as silk, as the human casts get pushed into going on Yokai adventures over and over again, instigating events that tie our casts together, keeping the pacing all in one place. This letGÇÖs the show naturally flow from Yokai to Human, allowing the plot to settle in-between the two, giving us a clearer picture of events. With everything in place, the show is able to flesh out relationships, subtly hint at devolopements, and continue the plot - all in one scene. This creates a fluent story telling, brought up further by the very interesting Yokai cast, who make up 3/4 the shows characters. The beginning episodes are rushed in comparison to the rest of the show, after episode 5, the show really begins to mingle itGÇÖs cast well. And by episode 10, youGÇÖll be enthralled with watching the line between Yokai and Human thin as they become closer, one by one. And the Yokai are beautiful. Their designs range from flowery to adorable to creepy, but theyGÇÖre all incredibly well detailed, especially considering how flat the human designs are, with small eyes and unattractive features. The exception is the romantic interest, Kana. Unlike the rest of the human cast, her design obviously had more thought put into it, probably to contrast her from the other humans and lift her value in the show. As the show progresses, theyGÇÖll single her out, being interested in our MC in his yokai form, without knowing who he really is, and slowly integrate her into the Yokai side, building upon her relationship with the MC. ItGÇÖs incredibly interesting, especially the build ups. ThereGÇÖs several of them, from a love triangle between a human, a half yokai, and a yokai, to the political struggle and upheavels the Nura clan faces - to outside Yokai forces bringing in forces and challenging the Nura. The show has quite a bit going for it. But where it stumbles is the Shojo aspect of itself, though it does a great job developing the characters whose life will be in jeopardy when the time comes, it doesnGÇÖt have much choreography to back it. Creating very short and lackluster battle scenes. This is uncharacteristic of Shojo shows, and will lead to many people with preconvieved notions to drop the show. But if you enjoyed Inuyasha, youGÇÖre going to love this show. They have a lot in common, both shows half a half demon as MC whose son of some great ruling Yokai, they both prefer to deal with dramatics rather then action, building a plot and characters rather then sprinkling your screen with sparkles and lights. And they both have an amazing soundtrack. NuraGÇÖs soundtrack does itGÇÖs job well in setting the mood, often playing deep orchestra pieces, fitting for Yokai. The OPGÇÖs are great, especially the second one. IGÇÖm a big fan of japanese wrap, especially after watching Air Gears. And though the music not be THAT good Air Gears is just, wow it is good in itGÇÖs own right, deserving of attention.

The art clearly shows how old it is, but well, it's Alice in Wonderland. Hard to screw up that formula. Especially, since this follow the story pretty closely. The second OVA is Miyuki-Chan in Mirrorland, and that one was even more fun. The characters have zero depth. The plot is pretty straightforward. The animation, and art is dated, BUT that music though. Through almost the entire thing there's background music that just makes the whole thing really funny. I would definitely suggest Miyuki-Chan in Wonderland if you have 25 minutes to spare. I remember watching this I also remember loathing it, lol.

And this post though, the show says it itself: You're an adult at 13 in the Yokai world. How well he's adapting is indeed strange, but it's answerable because his Yokai half seems to have his own will and understanding, and through him he gets most of his growth.

I figured you'd mention the age of adulthood thing. Let me ask this way, then--would the show have been better off if the age of adulthood had been changed to 16? The show wouldn't portray him any differently for it, it would only go to link the Yokai and Human ways of thinking closer together. And there's enough of that. But look at the rest of the human cast his age - do they act like people who could learn anyone but other kids?

Also thrown off by how characters age--or don't--in the show. In the OVA, for example, we see Tsurara join up with Rikuo's father as a young child, while the rest of Rikuo's supporting cast don't look much different as compared to now. Yet by the start of the show she looks to be roughly the same age/size as Rikuo while the other guardians look no different. This bothered me too, actually, In fact, when it came to animation, there was tons of inconsistencies. From shoes and socks suddenly changing and disappearing, to what you just mentioned.

I made some modifications to it, and sent you the rewritten script. I added in the "Da-Da-Da" intro, fixed a bunch of typos, removed a few redundancies, and reworded a few parts so they flowed better. You can choose to use it or not, or even combine it with yours. I will not stop harping on how much I hate the numbers rating system. However, if you insist on giving it a rating I would recommend simply putting the numbers on screen, and then saying your outro or whatever over it. Saying all of those numbers out loud both feels and sounds weird. Well, tbh, about the numbers, it's something I had planned on listening to you about originally, as you may of noticed with the lack of digits in the Aldnoah script. But this was done for a contest, and they wanted the numbers. The video will just be laying down each foundation at the end, sorta like e a numbers system, but much more details. Character: hate or love it the moe don't stop, with adorable faces, cute poses, and elegant design, this cast was meant to enthrall you from the geko. Wether or not this hits home is up to you, but fans of the moe genre are going to love it, while fans of the shojo genre will shun it. Story: Tough, explosive, and unforgiving, this show deserves it's praising, but you can't ignore the lackluster action and underdeveloped cast. Romance fans will wonder wtf is going on with the plot, while Action fans will find a place right at home. Music: PAAAAARTY! Grabs guitar and rocks out A sound track that knows how to excite, and the mix of english lyrics with the japanese tune just brings you into the experience deeper. Some may of wanted more out of an action show sound-track, but with how well balanced it is with drama, fans will be pleased. ^ that sort of system at the ending, bringing a "this type vs this type of fan" at the end. I just haven't really figured out how to really bring this in without seeming too out of place.

With even further inconsistent animation, a few characters whose voice actors didn't make any sense, and development more focused on raising power levels then developing a plot, wtf went wrong? S1 was doing well enough, all S2 had to do was expand upon it. Instead, backed with the same **** choreography, every fight ending in 1 damn swing, it takes a step backwards in story telling while continuing to be sub-par in the other fields.

I believed him. Until I didn't. The truth is, this is a very compelling romance anime. This show features a large cast. Attending St. Miator's we have Nagisa Aoi, Shizuma Hanazono, Tamao Suzumi, Miyuki Rokujo, and Chiyo Tsukidate. Due to the high school and the middle school being combined for the three schools Nagisa transfers in as a 4th year student, which is the equivalent to a 1st year high school student. Her roommate is Tamao Suzumi, a fun and somewhat pervy girl who lived alone until Nagisa shows up. Chiyo is a 1st year and the room keeper for Nagisa, and Tamao. She's clumsy, but has her heart in the right place, and looks up to Nagisa. Miyuki is the Student Council President of St. Miator's. She's business like, and can come off as cold, but secretly is a cry baby. Shizuma is the Etoile, the girl who represents the three schools of St. Miator's, Spica, and Lulim. She's a mystery at first, but as the show progresses we slowly peel back her layers to reveal the most interesting character of the series. Attending Spica is Hikari Konohana, Amane Ootori, Yaya Nanto, Tsubomi Okuwaka, Shion Tomori, Kaname Kenjo, and Momomi Kiyashiki. Hikari is a 4th year student who rooms with Yaya who secretly has a crush on her. This is of course used to create delicious drama because Hikari is in love with Amane Ootori, the "Prince" of Spica. Shion is the Student Council President of Spica, and wishes to use Amane to get the title of Etoile for a student of Spica. Kaname, and Momomi are members of the Student Council who wish to obtain the title of Etoile for themselves. In order to do this they decide to try and get in the way of Amane and Hikari's relationship. Tsubomi is a 1st year tsundere who is interesting in that she really doesn't have anything to tsundere at. (Yup, it's a verb now. Look it up. (Wait, don't look it up. I don't think it actually is a verb now.)) Attending Lulim is Chikaru Minamoto, Kizuna Hyuga, Remon Natsume, and Kagome Byakudan. Chikaru is the Student Council President for Lulim, but doesn't really seem to have much interests besides just messing around and having fun. Kizuna, and Remon are basically her followers. Kagome is a girl who rarely talks, and carries around a stuffed bear named Percival. She is both friends the other Lulim students, and the 1st-4th years of the other schools. While these four aren't in as important as the other characters (mainly because they have no romance aspects) the show is an absolute treat to watch whenever they're on screen. Especially Chikaru and Kagome. The three schools, St. Miator's, Spica, and Lulim, all share a dorm called Strawberry Hall, so named because of it's triangular shaped that makes it look like a strawberry. Of course, you can't have a romance anime without the romance. There are two main circles of romance. The triangle between Nagisa, Shizuma, and Tamao, and the cube between Hikari, Amane, Yaya, and Kaname. The Nagisa romance was fantastic. With real growth moments, and compelling characters. Another aspect I really like was how it spent the first half of the series building up the romance between Nagisa and Shizuma, and the second half destroying it. I'd watch a Nagisa/Shizuma anime for 100 more episodes. The Hikari romance was less so. At times it almost bored me to death, and it almost seemed like Hikari and Amane loved each other because like really guys, they do. One of the biggest things for me was that a lot of the girls seemed selfish at first, but ended up learning to put aside their own desires for the good of others. In a show where almost everyone has a crush on someone else people are bound to get hurt, but they ended up getting over the pain, and supporting the choices of the others. It's not all good though. The story could really drag it's feet at times. I'd almost recommend only watching half of it. (If the episode isn't about Nagisa/Shizuma it's not worth watching). When they had nowhere to go with the romance they'd throw in what almost felt like filler. Not to say the episodes weren't enjoyable, they were just pointless. The same could be said about Lulim. The soundtrack was pretty good I guess. I liked the first OP, but I didn't really like the second one or either ED. It was mostly classical music as a background, so if you're into that good for you. The art despite clearly being old was really appealing to me. The animation however, was definitely showing it's age. I remember one scene where the characters were "walking," but in reality they were just bobbing up and down, and the scenery was scrolling past them. It almost made me laugh. Who I Would Recommend It To: Anyone looking for a compelling yuri romance anime. Actually no, anyone looking for a compelling romance anime. (The yuri is a plus though). Me, wrong about a romance? Guess I'll give it another watch, but I remember being annoyed actively at the girls decision making.
Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 1	Posted - 2015.10.28 07:09:00 - [513] - Quote Everything Dies wrote: Time to try something new: Predicting the End! Ignoring the manga source material (if applicable) I'm going to predict how a show SHOULD end. So first up will be... High School DxD I predict that the show will end with the death of either Issei or Rias. Though they could always go in the direction of the super happy joy-joy ending, I don't think they should...because its heart, there is a very strong undercurrent of tragedy guiding the show. Issei, in particular, is a character teetering on the edge of losing control--his powers continue to grow, which (as evidenced in Born) potentially makes him a danger to those around him. Over the course of the show, much has been made of the fact that misfortune follows the Red/White Dragon Emperors and those around them, while at the same time pointing out the fact that dragons seek only to fight against each other without concern for others (which was the reason the angels/demons had to come together to defeat them.) We already know that Issei plans on leaving Rias in the future so that he can be viewed as being her "equal" and to establish himself as a Harem King, and we also know that several other members of the group will follow him when he does so. The show also mentions how people--particularly women--will be drawn to his power as the Red Dragon Emperor, resulting in the double-edged sword of the more Issei's power grows, the more he subverts Rias' ability to lead her family. The show points out several times that it is Issei's doings that have drawn the members together as a family (and not just as servants.) And this mentions nothing of the fact that Issei still hasn't found peace following Yuma's betrayal. He genuinely loved her; her betrayal has scarred him so deeply to the point that it explains all of his motivations: his desire to form a harem--which satisfies his lustful intentions--allows him to surround himself with pleasurable women while at the same time frees him from having to truly commit (i.e. fall in love) with one person. Asia is probably the closest to Issei on an emotional level, but even their relationship is slightly off. His attitude towards her is driven much more by the desire to protect her (and her innocence) so even though there is a physical attraction between them, Issei is subconsciously taking on more of an "older brother" role as a means of being close to her without having to fall "in love" with her. As for Rias, the show tells us again and again about how the greatest feature of the Gremory family is the close relationship that they foster with their servants. Rias, in particular, dotes excessively on her family and views all of them as irreplaceable; she has taken on the role of "mother" to every member except for Issei, whom she is obviously in love with. That love, as the last season makes clear, is also a source of great anxiety for Rias as she is resentful of the fact that Issei seemingly only recognizes her as "President" while he constantly draws the attention of the other members. In fact, that anxiety has come to the surface several times already as she and Akeno have openly engaged in battle over Issei's affections, with each skirmish growing more fierce than the previous one. Remember, these two are supposed to be the best of friends and have been together for a long time, but Issei's inclusion has begun to unravel that bond. In the end, I think one of two things will happen: 1. Issei dies after trying to protect too many people at once or is killed by his fellow Club members after losing control/becoming the Red Dragon Emperor, or 2. Rias will sacrifice herself for one of her club members. Either way, there SHOULDN'T be a happy ending here. And if it wasn't so late i'd reply to this - tomorrow for sure xD

Ignoring the manga source material (if applicable) I'm going to predict how a show SHOULD end. So first up will be... High School DxD I predict that the show will end with the death of either Issei or Rias. Though they could always go in the direction of the super happy joy-joy ending, I don't think they should...because its heart, there is a very strong undercurrent of tragedy guiding the show. Issei, in particular, is a character teetering on the edge of losing control--his powers continue to grow, which (as evidenced in Born) potentially makes him a danger to those around him. Over the course of the show, much has been made of the fact that misfortune follows the Red/White Dragon Emperors and those around them, while at the same time pointing out the fact that dragons seek only to fight against each other without concern for others (which was the reason the angels/demons had to come together to defeat them.) We already know that Issei plans on leaving Rias in the future so that he can be viewed as being her "equal" and to establish himself as a Harem King, and we also know that several other members of the group will follow him when he does so. The show also mentions how people--particularly women--will be drawn to his power as the Red Dragon Emperor, resulting in the double-edged sword of the more Issei's power grows, the more he subverts Rias' ability to lead her family. The show points out several times that it is Issei's doings that have drawn the members together as a family (and not just as servants.) And this mentions nothing of the fact that Issei still hasn't found peace following Yuma's betrayal. He genuinely loved her; her betrayal has scarred him so deeply to the point that it explains all of his motivations: his desire to form a harem--which satisfies his lustful intentions--allows him to surround himself with pleasurable women while at the same time frees him from having to truly commit (i.e. fall in love) with one person. Asia is probably the closest to Issei on an emotional level, but even their relationship is slightly off.

Before I jump to editing let me respond to this: Did you marathon all 3 seasons back to back? Because, you're right tragedy is the under-tone, but over-coming that tragedy is the theme. In every instance of some kind of peril, they come together to solve it. They've never once came to a conclusion without involving the entire cast in the struggle, even the Pheonix vs Dragon thing was made possible through the others helping back him up in the party. The golden theme here, and much to my dismay in Nora, is friendship, family, and love. How caring for another gives you the passion and energy to keep going. Pretty basic stuff for a shojo. The show never dares goes too far into reality, even end of season 3 with Rias you can out guess the ending easily. And in this regard I can confidently say High School DxD will have a happy ending, we won, and our way of thinking is better then everyone else's because everyone else were bitter vets from the past war not thinking clearly. It's a puke worthy progression, and I always kinda look at people strange when they say they think High School DxD has a strong story to back the ecchi - it doesn't not even close. The only praise I give it is amazing pacing, but season 2 has it's up and downs even in that regard. ISsei wasn't in love with Yuna, either. The reason he's hurt is because for the first time, a girl talked to him. His first experience with a woman that felt so warm and kind, was only given to him to hurt and use him. Before she met him, it was already his dream to have a harem, and it's my opinion Yuna made him rethink that, that maybe one girl is enough if she's special. So you made a good connection here, I just see it differently. It emboldened his desires, made them more clear to him, but most importantly, made him realize it was impossible. That he was a nobody. And Rias gave him back his sense of self-worth. And I'll assume someone in the cast does die based on your last paragraph - the show will have tragedy, and the ending will have it's highest tragedy, probably the death of the neko girl, the kitten, or all of the above. Rias and our heroes hearts then unite, combining dragon with demon.

And look at what sells best right now, there's no way their'll be a dark or truly developed ending. High School DxD uses the darkness to give itself a unique idea, but it hasn't once capitalized on it fully. One moment with Arsia at the start, and that was it. Anything with the tag Shojo is doomed to this fate. There are exception, but they usually come from expectional shows, and High School DxD isn't in any regard all that special. It's much too straight forward and centered on nudity, it's doomed to be like Seikon No Qwaser and Freezing as for as plot importance goes. It's still a damn good watch for the story, but only because it's cuties involved. Serious characters switched with these moe ones - the show would die quick. I expect a very lackluster ending

Is it Risa laughing at herself (in keeping with her jokester attitude) or is it actually the start of her crying, now that she realizes she has (seemingly unrequited) feelings for Rito?

I recently finished up Date A Live, and I won't say too much about it. Because it would be loaded with every sort of hate for this sort of fan service. See, there's a difference between Ecchi, and Fanservice: Ecchi is meaningful to the plot in some way, like High School DxD and the harem creation, To Luv Ru for similar reasons, and most recently Testament of a Sister Devil. The ecchi plays a role in the story, and makes it a part of what's going on. Fan service doesn't, it's just pointless scenes meant to show off a character and nothing more. This is what Date A Live does with fan service, rather then it being a part of the growing relationship and including it in the story, they jam it down your throat. Jam? How do you 'jam' such cute girls down someones throat? Wouldn't you want to see cute girls doing cute things? ** yea But it helps A LOT if I KNOW WHO THE THEY ARE. The first spirit we meet - WHO THE ARE YOU. You eat, you cry, you *, you complain, wtf else do I know about you? That's your mega-dumb-ass level tsundere that flips out over anything? She's so poorly developed it's confusing who she even is, when you meet her she seems pretty cool, has her ** together even though she's in a strange world, and acts like she could get a long fine on her own. And then date gets mentioned, and she screams it, in our face, 5 times. And she never recovers as a character. Turning into a bumbling blonde bimbo whose awkwardness towards everything takes away from her every moment. And the white hair girl is just as bad, she's awkwardly introduced like some stalkers, then continues to grow on the stalker signals until she's straight up uncomfortable to see on your screen, and you're not even sure why she's there. All the development surrounding her never gets fleshed out - are you a sniper or CQC expert? Why do you give you the green light to shoot? WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TOO ACTUALLY?! You have some dark background but all you do is either act like a stalker, horny, or pissed. You have no other expressions. I haven't even seen, at any point, the second season, and I'm reminded why. So much bad in Date A Live. The only redeeming part is the evil black hair character, she's pretty cool, so are the events surrounding her. But it doesn't last long. 6/10

I would go as far to say they weren't sure themselves in season 1 how far to include her in screen time. They eventually give her a single episode giving her some depth in season 1, and another in season 2, and then plays bestie to Blonde Darkness as her main role. Mom turns her into her own character.. Once she starts branching off and discovering herself more like we originally thought would happen when in season 1 she rejects a boy who asks her out, she really comes out as being more mature and dependable then pretty much all of the other girls. She has a clear mind and resolve, where a lot of the other characters of the show actually often annoy me Run, dammit, Run, I want to like you, but the show itself doesn't.

Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 1	Posted - 2015.11.04 17:49:00 - [527] - Quote Seven Deadly Sins: Bad-ass, is how I would describe this show. As I was contemplating what anime I could do a review on, but wanting something new and I haven't yet watched, I noticed Netflix updated with an original series - and it was anime! So I jumped at it and took a quick gander at the first episode 1 twice, once in sub, once in dub. I find I preferred the Dub even though the female lead, Elizabeth, sounds much better in the sub. I just find Dubs do a better job these days in capturing the comedy and action, not needing to avert your eyes from the beauty on screen. But I didn't think that would originally matter, this show is kinda ugly. The character designs are akin to DBZ's, with eyes to close together or too big for there sized head, or awkward looking faces. But the actual animation, the movement, and most especially, the battles, were epic and gorgeous. The fight scenes are a higher impact version of Fate Stay's, with super movement speed packed with huge explosions. It's beautiful, absolutely stunning sometimes. And these characters don't die! They take hit, after hit, after hit, and keep on going! The pacing of the plot sometimes takes you out of the experience, with 24 episodes the show still needed to rush the meeting of the characters, explain each one of the 5 of 7 sins background, in detail, then tie it all together with the devoloping plot around them. Plus, there was the princess, 4 different bad-ass holy knights struggling with right and wrong, and even a fairy, 2 actually, 3 technically. There's Giants doing battle with people on equal footing, and people can slash a mountain in half with just a twig. It's insane how powerful and amazing the battles can be. But back to the plot: It was good for the twists, but the ending ruined a lot of it. A to be continued ending that also tried to tie up the ark with a happy one, reviving dead characters and creating a mood that shouldn't exist considering what the country just lost and was about to lose more of. There's other elements in the plot to enjoy, however. Besides the great action, the drama surrounding and tying it in was well played, basing itself on a desperate princess trying to save her land from it's own military, and turns to knights known as The Seven Deadly Sins, who are considered traitors to the country, for help. The MC, the leader of the Sins, is pretty laid back fellow, completely confident in his strength, so nothing will go wrong. His buddies in the Sin are just like that, oozing confidence. And it's apparent quickly, why. Music is so-so If you enjoyed Guren Lagan, you're going to love this. Highly recommended to action fans. There's a bit of romance in there, and lots of drama and even moments that may threaten a tear, but the show is really all about the super action.

But anime shows us. It brings us there, shows us the pain and joy. The messages we grew up too never changed, the message just grew more beautiful. And as we get older our shows start becoming funnier, flashier, more drama and character driven. And when you take those older shows concepts of funnier, flashier, and more story elements, and add in our original cartoons, you get anime. ItGÇÖs a weird way to look at it, but thatGÇÖs how I see it. It has everything we, as adults, love in our shows. Mature and sexual humor, dark plots, character growth. Anime focuses on all the elements we typicaly are drawn into. But keeps the morality theme of being good to your friends, staying health, be a good student, etc. However, itGÇÖs done so through sometimes rather odd looking characters. Throwing some off the shows purpose and confusing itGÇÖs value. This is where most people draw the line of difference between Anime and more mature content, like whatGÇÖs typically found on HBO. and thatGÇÖs a fair assessment. Look at some of these characters, they were not made for a larger audience in mind, typically male targeted. But a good amount of anime arenGÇÖt like this, and even some of the ones that do are well worth the watch anyways for all genders. and though we continue to see the same cliched elements in todayGÇÖs shows, the actual quality and story telling year by year continues to rise, creating in some of the best story telling IGÇÖve ever come to enjoy.

Mui tells Takeshi that she is a magician, and she apologizes, for she turned Takeshi into a magician, too. What Takeshi once knew as one world is actually twoGÇöthe world where magicians live and the world where humans live. - MAL source This show has some of the most awkward pacing I have ever seen. Creating this roller-coaster effect in enjoyment. The show never settles on what it wants to be, a high school magical romance drama or the beginnings of an encroaching magical war between guilds. but with 12 episodes there isn't enough time to flesh out an entire war scenario and make us give two ***** about any of the characters or settings. And that's what happens here, no one but the MC gets any flesh, at all. The war gets the same attention, being a consistent theme of conversation but never really being a part of the show till the end. What the show focus's on instead is the real MC of the show, Kurumi Isoshima She's the too beautiful to be true so gets harassed by boys girl. So she's dating our MC, who, for whatever reason, knew each other as kids. So they pretend to date to keep guys off of her, but there's a catch, if one falls in love they end it. Only, she fell in love with him, so she's full of complicated tsundere emotions. Especially after the man she loves meets a loli with boobs, Mui Aiba This encounter sets off the setting of basically half the damn show, as Kurumi trys to get in control of her emotions. Our MC, on the other hand, isn't only the clueless type, but he's the poster child to every MC ever made, never once taking a step out of a comfort box to be a unique character. His friends are all pretty much the same, and the cast is designed as if based on characters from other shows. The only character that stands out is the Loli Grandmaster. Who gets the best scenes in the show, by far. As the show progresses through Kurumi's bs, the magical war sometimes makes an apperance, because the show is supposed to be about finding Mui brother and finding out what happened. And the resolution to this is so incredibly awkward, poorly explained, and just, generally makes no sense. Why would you to a hostage exchange with people who don't believe they're hostages and will obviously try to go back???? The poor level of detail, reasonings, and even just getting us to believe in this world. They either had no budget or had no idea what they were working with. Music's pretty good, Dub was pretty good too, honestly. I could never get passed the Sub, but hearing the cussing in the Dub actually put a smile on my face. The one redeeming factor of the show is the ending, which is also a sore spot because of the epic cliff-hanger. But the show finally reveals a twist worthy of Black Bullet. I'd recommend this to Otaku's only, generally people willing to watch any anime with cute girls in it, because it fails at really accomplishing being an action, drama, or romance. But the characters themselves can be enjoyable.

Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 1	Posted - 2015.11.07 18:35:00 - [538] - Quote RWBY - This is the show we've been waiting for. The spark that will lead to a flame of western developers creating anime. The lack of inner dialogues and monologues with the obvious western style comedy Eastern comedy is way more influenced by us then the other way around mixed in with moe character designs. I can not declare enough love for this. Anime, lately, has turned to crude humor, explicit language, and sex jokes for the majority of it's comedy. Even shows not considered comedies typically only use these forms of comedy. From the accidentally falling down on girl routine to slap-stick over the top joy-rides, anime tends to go all in or all out with comedy. But RWBY finds a middle ground that western writers are so well known for. You'll recognize the styes of comedy instantly from Game of Thrones, Community, and pretty much anything on Showtime or HBO. It's fast paced, eye to eye comedy. Meaning while they talk very fast, they engage directly with each other, creating some really great skits that both entertain and progress the story or characters growth. And where there's so much good going on in the plot, the setting even gets it's own episode dedication to help flesh out the world, and it ends up being very well thought out and interesting. Even the monsters get a dedicated episode to explain them, if this show had a Like button I'd be smashing it. and even with all the greatness in the plot and setting, still better yet is the animation. I could caps lock a lot of descriptive words, and it would be well deserving. But I think you all know what I mean, episode 1 food fight was just orgasmic, and they do that kind of fight scene once every 2-3 episodes. People jumping higher then buildings then casting magic using "dust" Great concept for the show to use combining some of the best Kung-Fu with high movement explosives everywhere action. And that's still not even my favorite part of the show, i love these characters. Weiss is my favorite by miles, a poster child Tsundere, and she's western made, it's just exciting to see. The rest of the cast too, just charm the socks off you, then blow them off with there intense stunts and willingness to show very real sides to make them so much more then 1 sided characters. Even the sub characters get amazing plots, my favorite character is the red head amazon girl, she's not only charming and easily the strongest, but has the purest heart of them all. I could go on and on about all the different elements I enjoyed, but I'll stop, and say, damn, should of watched this earlier.

It's because of her background with the hero that she makes no sense. Even if she was feeling left behind even though she feels a strong bond, you don't replicate what others are already doing. And it's not just something she does once, or even twice. But time and time again, she sees another girl do something, and now she wants too. She lacks any real independent thought, and her only rebellious actions shouldn't of needed time to occur - the entire reason she became strong was to help him. Here's her opportunity, and she didn't know what to do. Because she's borderline the worst childhood friend I have ever seen. Poorly designed, fleshed, and her motivations don't actually motivate her. Originally they do when she confronted Mio at the start - then goes downhill quick the more she's explained. I love every other character, I really do, even the Demon is awesome, but the blue hair chick ruins the show with her presence.

I love every other character, I really do, even the Demon is awesome, but the blue hair chick ruins the show with her presence. Again, I'll disagree. Where she shows initiative: -hugging Basara in front of the class after he introduces himself -taking him to the coffee shop -coming to Mio's aid after she runs away -asking Basara out on a date -using the sleeping powder on Basara -going against the Hero clan and trying to protect Mio and Maria -wanting to form a contract with Basara -demanding that her contract by the same type as Mio -staying behind to help their escape from the monster I think what you're focusing on are almost exclusively her inter-personal relationships. It's clear that the show intends for her to be something of a "blank slate" character (think most any AI girl in an anime) that doesn't know how to express her feelings; however, I'd argue that she's much closer to Maria in terms of personality--she clearly has the hots for Basara (even mentioning that their hugs in the past were little more than an excuse to have Basara fondle her rear) and seems to take enjoyment out of teasing Mio with that fact. So whereas you dismiss her actions as mimicry, I see them as devious attempts at "one-upmanship" to woo Basara over to her. Look no further than when she finds out about Mio's contract--Mio is obviously embarrassed by the situation while Yuki gets excited and looks forward to such an interaction...and doesn't hesitate to let Mio know how eager she is to be doing that sort of thing with Basara. Honestly, I think the problem stems from the fact that Yuki just isn't given a clear personality of her own. The show treats her as little more than the rival lover when it comes to dealing with the other members of the harem (though Maria is more than happy to encourage her.) In the end, the biggest problem may be the simple fact that Maria already owns the "sexy troublemaker" role and Yuki is left with the scraps. -The hug was the symbol of there childhood friend status, it added nothing to her character, besides showing us she's either absent minded about those around her, or is very straight forward. Turns out she's both, lol -The coffee shop didn't do anything for her character, either. She interrupt Mio to get her time with him, then uses the time to give us her background. Which would of been fine, if there had been anything else really there. She just shows concern for the MC. Which is the entire basis of her ENTIRE personality.. Even her background is centered around his saving her. - The sleeping powder scene did nothing to add to her character, but actually confused the living **** out of me, lol. Did she honestly think she could beat the other guy herself? Even though he's wielding some bad-ass weapon? It was a pointless moment that did more harm to the show then good imo. - Her entire background was centered around her love and desire to be closer to the man who saved her, she always believed her village wrong, but she didn't have the strength to act on her own and stayed with the village. This is, quite literally, her background. It's her motivation, it's the core to how she became who she is, and it was a hard choice for her to make to help him, which she didn't really do, just gave Mio a heart attack for nothing. - This is an example of her wanting to be like Mio. It's the only reason she even wants it - her safety is kinda pointless as crap, and having her around was suppose to add to there fighting strength, not give the MC something else to worry about... - Look at above statement. - Did this really add to her character, or just finally show us what quality the show kept saying she had as a hero clan member? That's my problem with her, and the entire hero clan. The demon side actually make somewhat sense, especially different factions and it not all really working out but they try anyways. The hero clan makes NO SENSE, and it dumb for the same reasons Aldnoah Zero's world is dumb, to give the MC motivation to do something himself cause no one else will use there head and help the good guy. The blue hair girl and everything she represents is everything that's wrong with the show, lol.

It did a good job turning villains into good guys and creating tension and some bad ass moments. However, it wasn't Guren Lagan, whose characters were a lot more traditionally anime looking. It's a good watch in Dub over the Sub for a lot of reasons believe it or not. Log Horizon S2 - The show was already slow, this just took the slowness and made it both repetitive and knowingly frustrating when trying to get to any of the real plot. It isn't even using the cast in enjoyable ways, if anything S2 shows how much certain characters charisma carried the show, and with several of them missing or on side quests, the rest of the cast barely keeps up. The Ninja girl is for looks only to me at that point, turning into a melodramatic idiot. I had several other problems, and things I actually really liked, but idr, been some time lol Akama Ga Kill - It's really hard to judge this show, only because the formula becomes so painfully obvious while still remaining a pretty gripping watch. But it completely takes you out of the experience when you're naming who dies when long before events even start happening. I never bothered with the last 2 episodes, I'm sure they're great, ad that no one but one lives. You'd of thought I'd continue to just watch the MC die, lol, god I hated him. Chivalry of a Failed Knight - So far, this is the best show from this magical wars craze we got this season. Between *W, Anti-Magic, and Chivalry of a Failed Knight, Chiv is the more interesting show, so far.

Shadowed Cola Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 1	Posted - 2015.11.12 20:06:00 - [547] - Quote you know, I did quite a bit of work on the 'moe off' segment before going back to constantly writing about different shows. Just finished show 13 in 1 week Non Non Bu, Order is a Rabbit, Yuru Yuri, and the more recently, Himouto! Umaru-chan all follow the same trends of cute characters + cute situations = a good time. This is the basis of our understanding of the 'moe' genre, but this is actually a slice of life trend that's been going on for years. 'moe' shows actually don't exist. If you do a genre check, you'll see shows labeled 'moe' range from cute and cuddly, to dark and freaky. Order is a Rabbit vs When They Cry As the years progress our characters are getting cuter and more entertaining to hide the same plot elements we've seen before. Non Non Buyri is a perfect example, offering up nothing new in anything, but still managing to be a great watch. It's the same concept that's made Reality TV in america so popular, interesting characters, especially cute ones Looking at you Road Trip and Real World really bring in audiences. Both male and female. put them in real life settings that your audience can relate too - you're bound to get a hit. I kinda scratch my head that anime hasn't done this. But breaking down the 'moe' shows that do technically exist, you can only judge them based on one quality - character enjoyment. And on that regard, Yuru Yuri's Ayano is queen in my book.

Out of every character type, this one is the only one I think is honestly just plain bad. That being said, I liked this ***, lol. She grows on you, not because she herself is really anything, but because you enjoy how everyone else is looking out for her, each for there own reasons. And there's a lot of side cast here, almost every episode introduces some new big VA in the industry. It's actually pretty cool learning about how Dubbing and VA recording works. The side cast also really brings heart to the show and the main cast, you'll have to see it yourself to really understand, but I pretty much enjoyed every character and there experiences in life. Not that the show doesn't have it's down-sides, some of THE most inconsistent animation, who did the editing to this show? Holy , there were scenes, entire 2-5 minute scenes, completly re-used in a way I haven't seen since the 90's when anime cut production cost. There's even scenes where hair styles change, outfits don't match up scene to scene, and other little bits of mess ups that's almost consistent in every episode. But the art itself is great, the girls are KAWAI!!!!!!!! x10000 Enough so I forgave the **** animation, re-used scenes, and the obvious rushed scenes. The plot itself is about the MC going from newbie VA, to less then newbie VA! Which, honestly, kinda sucks. It's just stress after stress, and though they cleverly involve it in her character growth, it often frustrates you that she can't figure out her own issues. But that gives all the experienced VA cast time to shine and show there appeal, which i'm almost certain is why the MC is as bad as she is. Because the two girls working with her, are very charming. Especially near the end when the girls really start getting comfortable around each other. There are some good moments, here. But the good moments are far in-between, you'll either be watching this show for the same reasons you watched Idol Master Cute girls whoooooo! or you'll watch it just to get to know the anime industry better. Either way, this show has some elements going for it, but it's low production value is too noticeable in comparison to almost any other anime being released. I did enjoy the Hayate the Combat Butler references, though. Apparently, that show is a lot bigger in Japan then I thought, lol. Over-all, I would pass on this one if you're looking for a good story, this is cute girls doing cute things with something to learn about voice acting in-between. It's more informative the entertaining, but you'll likely get attached to one of the girls, as I did. CHERRY PRINCESS <3 I just realized, this show is named Seiyu's Life, lol
