Review 6: Naruto (Favourite hero of all time)?

Review 6: Naruto (Favourite hero of all time)?
now if you haven't ever seen or watched naruto, then you're crazy..... and if you haven't even heard of Naruto....then where the hell have you been all of your life!!!! Nearly every anime fan as watched or has been reading naruto and if you haven't and you love manga or anime then you truly do not deserve the title Super Fans or Fanettes!! if you haven't heard of Naruto then i do sort of feel sorry for you in a way, since nearly everyone has at least been reading or has read the naruto series.
i don't want to ruin it for nearly everyone who actually reads this review but it is an amazing series that everyone should check out, it doesn't matter if you read the series or watch the series it really is worth your time and will stay with you for the rest of your life.
obviously naruto is the main character through out the series, he lives in a small village with plenty of other ninjas that are his age and there are plenty more kids you'll meet on the way to discovering who naruto actually is and what can make him so powerful yet so stupid at times.
Naruto: obviously the main character in the series. he's a young, active and slightly weird boy who loves being a ninja even though he isn't very good at it..... He's crazy even from the beginning of the book when as soon as you go onto the first page he's dangling from a rope painting on the hokage (s) statues faces, he does get caught and then you can see how weird he actually is. Most of the teachers get extremely annoyed with him no matter what he does, he annoys a lot of people in his classes and is jealous of the strongest and most good looking boy there is named Susuke. He hates him and never gets a long with him, apart from that Naruto can be an annoying boy in the series but as time passes you grow to love him even more! he can be really strong and quick witted at times, like when ever he's in a fight. you'll grow to love him as time passes on.
Sasuke: A mysterious young boy who's about the same age as Naruto, every girl in the school loves him and has an extreme crush on him, he isn't really bothered about all of the girls though he and he doesn't seem to act really cool he just is cool.....naturally!!!!! every time he walks in to the class room all of the girls stare and it falls quiet. Naruto hates his guts because he gets all of the attention off of the girls, Sasuke hates him as well which must be natural as well. At the start you'll love him but as the series progresses then your opinions on him may change slightly.
Sakura: Sakura is a young girl about the same age as Sasuke and Naruto, the only difference in between Sakura and the other two is the fact that she is mature enough to understand that not everyone has to be rivals in life, she loves almost everything and has the biggest crush on Sasuke ever, but Sasuke captures all of the girls hearts so he doesn't really notice if there is one person stands out more than the others. She has a rivalry with an old friend that you'll meet later on in the series. She doesn't have a mysterious past at all, but when she was younger she did get bullied a lot for having a high forehead which made her stand out a little bit more then everyone else. she's an average character who i think everyone will love from the start.
if you live in England then you might know that there is a magazine called NEO which comes out every month and if you read that then you should now how many films there are on the naruto series, how popular it is, the fact that there are loads of video games on the series and that naruto has to be in the magazine every month to new releases and new books coming out.
the series is on going and amazing even though it is long. if i was one of you guys and i was reading this i would check it out straight away it really is worth the time and you will enjoy it. i would recommend this to everyone! of all ages!

Review 5: Death Note (Kill Bieber next)!!!
Death note has to be one of the most loved, read and watched animes/ mangas in the world! and that is just the basics, so if your like me and now you know that i suggest you go and watch it!
Death Note is about a young adult called Light Yagami (his last name is also I'm a gay backwards XD). he's at school in a lesson one day, and as he looks out of the window a weird looking note book is on the floor, as it looks pretty interesting after the lesson he goes out, picks it up and takes it back home to take a look.That night he's sitting in his bedroom when his shinigamu Ryuk appears and the story behind the death note is revealed.
Light then starts to take the Books power into his own hands. killing those who have committed major crimes against civilisation. He either sees them on the TV or goes online to look up there crimes, as soon as he finds a picture of them and their name... he puts them in the Death Note and writes a method of death. 
Death Note: A book that each shinigami (their death gods), have to kill humans. Every time a shinigami writes a humans name down in the book and they picture their face in their mind then that person will die and you gain their years of life that they had left before you killed them. If a shinigami kills a human to save another then that shinigami will die, if a human touches the death note then the shinigami will have to follow that human around, and in this case it's Light.
Light Yagami: Light is a young adult who is currently sitting the rest of his exams, he sees the death note not knowing what it is and takes it home, his shinigami god of death is Ryuk, Light doesn't think very much of his life until he comes across the note book, before he finds the note book he is quiet and collective, he keeps himself to himself and never gets in any ones way. Once he finds the note book his life changes around for the better of innocent people and for the worst of the people who are criminal master minds. He only uses the note book to kill criminals and people who he thinks don't deserve to live, but from killing people like that it attracts the governments attention, as more criminals die mysterious deaths the government gets there most top secret agent to help them solve the murders of the prisoners, his name is...
L: L is his name, and that's all people know about him all the way through out the series as he doesn't reveal himself to any other agent. Even the most top secret government agencies don't even know his real name, no one knows where his family is and all you'll ever know is that his name is L. L is quiet and a bit creepy in his own ways unfortunately though what he does say has to be in his own way, which means lengthy conversations about anything he can think of and he usually relates all investigations to different type of games. He is an awkward young adult as well, as he always has to have everything his way and acts differently to everyone else which can make him stand out to much amoungst other people. He never leaves his office apart from when he joins a high class school/ college/ university which Light starts to attend.
I would recommend the anime to a lot of people, but not the Manga as much. Near the end of the manga the amount of text on the page ends up becoming to much, and then the pictures just end up being these small black and white blobs dotted around the page. So i ended up getting quite bored and not finishing the end of the manga, but i did finish the end of the anime.
I wouldn`t recommend it to those who are looking for something a little bit more gorier, of course there is violence because people are dying constantly; but the majority of it is off screen. There isn`t that much blood either, until the main characters begin to die. But it`s still a cool, mysterious anime from the murderers point of view.

Review 4: Shaman King (Just weird)....
Shaman king is an action packed fun adventure with Yoh and his mates/ enemies
the story is based on old legends about the Shaman Kings who use their spiritual powers to see the dead, protect the dead, use the dead as their enemies and fight each other for more and more power. Unfortunately i won't be listing all of the main characters like i did in soul eater because there's so many and it's been so long since i`ve actually read the book and watched the anime i actually cannot remember that much about it... Sorry!
Yohs a Young teenage boy who practically lives with the dead when he moves to a new village (cannot remember the name), he meets another a Young boy called Manta. As hes walking home from his Cram School he meets Yoh in the grave yard who seems to be talking to himself. When Yoh starts talking to Manta, he starts talking about the dead and fortunately Manta then asks "Do you have any Friends" and Yohs top answer "Yes...Only the whole grave yard".
From then on Yoh starts to pop up in unusual places as Manta finally realizes he can see ghosts and dead people. Yoh then moves to Mantas school, and they then become very good friend's.
Eventually we learn a lot more about Yoh, and plenty more about all Shamans.
Then the shamans competition comes up; a time where all Shamans from across the globe join together in order to either kill or make others un-conscious in the opening fights (The ones that you have to win in order to get in). Then the ones who get through to the actual fights are thrown into arenas in teams of three and have to kill each other in order to live... I`m not going to say what happens if you win, but it does look pretty cool.  
Along the way in the series you meet amazing characters with very awkward and strange families and pasts behind them. You can meet some of the most weirdest characters along the way like Rin, Anna, Faust, Ren, Horohoro, Lyserg, Ryu and one of the worst characters you could come across in the manga/anime is  Hao.
There weapons are obviously spirits and the dead, they are all crazy and weird and all have different fighting techniques like Morphea, Bason, Amidamaru, Kororo and Tokagero.
i would only recommend this to anyone who loves supernatural beings or theories behind them; yes of course this is all made up but it`s going to be awesome! Just the concept of people bringing the dead back to lift just for these random fights and competitions seems awesome!

Review 3: Soul Eater (Funny, loud and crazy)???

Review 3: Soul Eater (Funny, loud and crazy)???
soul eater is an amazing action packed anime and manga about shinigami-sama and if you don't know who that is it's basically death himself, he (surprisingly) runs the DWMA which stands for The Deaths Weapon And Meister Academy, a meister is someone who can wield a weapon to match their soul waves and use the weapons in combat to destroy Kishin.
The main characters;
Maka: a young girl who is a weapon meister, in other words she can wield herself to other people who can turn into weapons. Her father is deaths weapon, her weapons name is soul. She doesn't have a mysterious past and is seen as a normal student at the DWMA.
Soul: Soul is Makas weapon who is pretty laid back and care free guy until it comes to maka being hurt in combat. where i've gotten to in the episodes he doesn't seem to have a mysterious past of any sort and seems fairly normal. If something isn't "cool" as he says then he'll hate it.
Black Star: A young boy who has a tendency to be loud and very annoying, he acts just like an assassin who has no idea on how to keep quite during fights. His weapon, Tsubaki, has never managed to get even one soul because Black Star is always to loud and scares away the enemies. He seems to be normal at first but his past is soon revealed and is quite easy to understand.
Tsubaki: A young teenage girl who has a bit of a confusing past behind her as her brother is the Demon sword. She has never managed to get even one soul because of Black Star, she is known as the only person compatible with Black Star as she is the only one who can put up with his craziness.
Death The Kid: death the kid turns out to be Shinigami-Sama's son, he doesn't look anything like his father, mainly because his father has no form what so ever.......He has EXTREME OCD and everything has to absolutely perfect otherwise he can't fight, he can't live and really wants to kill himself. he has an obsession with symmetry and has no mysterious past behind him.
Liz & Patty: The twins that are Death The Kids weapons, they where born on to the streets and used each other as weapons, they used to rob people of there money and dignity. They tried to rob Death The Kid but he then took them in as his weapons and are now used as the twin guns. Patty is the youngest and liz is the oldest but patty is way better then liz!
Dr.Stein: A weird doctor who eventually becomes a teacher at the DWMA, most of his lessons are based on dissecting creatures that are almost extinct! He is crazy and his back side is usually stuck to a chair which can make the most serious situations funny in it's own way!
i would recommend this to anyone who loves action packed anime and humor, there's loads of funny moments and parts that make you wish you was there! there's loads of other characters in Soul Eater that will make you laugh and cry at the same time, some characters you won't get to know for long, and in parts it make you wish that the characters where around for longer. This is an amazing series with lots of great characters that you'll love! And enemies you will grow to hate even more then the first time you saw them!
i love this series and so should everyone else!!!!!!!

Review 2: Shiki (Possibly My Favorite Anime Of All Time)!

Review 2: Shiki (Possibly My Favorite Anime Of All Time)!
as the anime is only short i don't want to ruin the story line or any main information that you should find out for yourself... But this is awesome, i originally wrote this review just under three years ago and i've been wanting to re-do it for so long now that it's been bugging me sooooo sooo much!
So this is the slightly longer re-write on Shiki, Possibly my favourite anime of all time! 
I am however extremely picky when it comes to anything supernaturally mainstream like this; but it did make me wonder... I'm actually feeling sad on behalf of these characters right now?....
So i am rather picky when it comes to anything to do with mainstream supernatural beings, so in this case it's Vampires. Now i was really reluctant to watching this because one of my friends who had recommended the anime was only highlighting the fact that the girls have rather large breasts... And if you know me then you know that i absolutely hate Fanservice of any kind!
But i managed to see past that when it came to this anime, even though one of the main characters breasts like to giggle a lot when she walks; i managed to get over that and actually watch it without being grossed out... 
So the anime begins with all of the men in the village looking for a girl called Megumi, She had gone missing over night and no one knows what had happened to her... Until we get the flashback of all events.
So this anime revolves around Megumi and Natsuno, both of them end up suffering the same terrible fate, but both of them of them have extremely different plans on what to do. The both start out the same though, they both hate the place that they live and they both want to leave... But you wouldn't expect their departure to be so dramatic... 
The only bad thing when it comes to small animes is that if you give away more characters then people already know what's going to happen and then they blame you for spoilers; so for now i'm only giving away two of the characters and then i'll give a brief explanation as to what happens in the anime. 
Megumi: Megumi is a lovely young girl who is the heart of the village she lives in, shes full on and has a crush on a boy who moved in a year ago called Natsuno. She always has a dream of leaving the "run down" village and moving it to the big city! where she can have the freedom to be who she wants to be and will have the life she has always dreamed of. She hates the village and most of the people there and only has 1 well known Friend that is used many times in the story. Every time she sees Natsuno she'll try and get close to him in whatever way she can.
Natsuno: Natsuno is Megumi's crush, but the problem is he absolutely hates the village more then she does and hates Megumi herself in every way, and every time Megumi attempts to get close to him he throws it right back in her face which then adds to the drama of the whole story. Natsuno has no friends in the village until later on in the story.

After a strange family move into an abandoned mansion away from the majority of the village, shit goes down.
Rumours spread around the town like wild fire, as everyone automatically suspects that something is wrong with the family that had moved there; which, of course, is where shit starts to go down. 
Megumi happens to be upset and in a bad mood the same day as she wonders up to the mansion; as she's walking around she imagines the adopting her and loving her more then the other people in the village. The gates open up to her and she walks in without thinking twice; then it goes back to her, in a ditch, in the middle of the forest, alone and un-loved.
She becomes their first victim and comes back to life later on in the anime. Along with lots of other people in the anime, she then has to turn other people into Vampires; in order to turn them, they have to sneak in to their house and bite them three times. They all have to go through the same process of being buried and then dug up by other vampires. 
Now there is one little girl in this anime that made me fall in love with it as soon as I saw her. She has long purple hair and her eyes are lifeless, she wears long Victorian dresses and only appears at night in front of the Priest.
The reason i love her has to be her backstory, (I`m not going to say her name). When she was human her parents loved her and where quite wealthy. Until one day, one of her fathers associates bite her and turned her. She woke up in a coffin, un-able to breath or get out she scratched the top of the coffin until someone came by and dug her up. From then on she`s wanted to turn other people into Vampires so they could be her friends and her family.
(That`s if i`ve remembered all of that correctly; it has been seriously long since i watched it).
Obviously, i loved the element of dying then being dug up again and having the situation explained to you; I think it gives us a better insight as to how the creator thinks this situation would play out. Also when we see the characters being dug up and being turned, in most cases they end up looking completely different and i think that the new designs for such innocent characters works extremely well.
Some scenes can be quite gory and a little bit cringe since their skin is burning off and their screaming ridiculously loudly. I actually loved the gory scenes and the death scenes, but i know that there will be people who don`t; so that was just a little warning. 
i seriously loved this anime, out of all of the ones i`ve watched this has to be the on that i`m always thinking about re-watching or cosplaying. i`m already in loads of cosplay groups but i`ve never actually cosplayed... If i ever cosplay then i would defiantly be Megumi. 
I seriously loved this anime though, it has to be one of the best by far. I wish it was longer but then again it could of been easily ruined if it was longer. I would recommend this to anyone who loves the supernatural side of animes and for anyone that`s into a bit of blood and messy stuff.

Review 1: Fairy Tail (magic, comedy and topless guys)

Review 1: Fairy Tail (Magic, comedy and topless guys)
So after a very long wait the re-write is now here! So if you're looking for some hilarious laughs and weird characters than look no further because this anime is clearly the one for comedy and action lovers!!
So in the anime it seems to be set in a very old fashioned world ruled by those who only have the power of magic and the mastery of it! The world itself is not like ours! The author of the series has clearly done this to show us what the world would look like and what could be here if it wasn't for modern technology; well that's what i think anyway. There aren't any cars, mobile phones, pollution making factories... Just no! In the anime the majority of places we see are surrounded with countryside, forests, farms and most of all beautiful blue skies that we lack of in reality. The scenes in the anime are beautifully produced and show a lack of reality in the anime itself; yes it may be about magic, but the places that we see and witness are not like that of our realistic animes that seem to be getting less and less popular as time passes by...
The anime itself is amazing! There's tons of wacky and hilarious characters that we meet throughout the anime! There are ,obviously, the serious and dangerous characters which is typical in an anime like this; but the author of this amazing manga and anime world has even created a side to them where if they are around the correct people than they show this hilarious side which we wouldn't expect to see from such an evil mastermind!
The layout of the world itself consists of distant villages, towns and cities which all seem to cover the old fashioned style of the anime; even with the stores, the amount of people there it still manages to stay with the ever lasting theme of the old fashioned ways of this magical world of Fairy tail!
So as we expected the anime is obviously called Fairy tail for a reason; and that magical reason is because this imaginary old fashioned world is full to the brim of people who use magic throughout their every day lives; either to work or to complete missions and quests for those who do not own any magical powers. This being an anime means that their has to be something weird in which all of these people train or practice in to become stronger; these places are called Guilds. One of the most famous Guilds is called Fairy tail which is where this anime is based on from the very beginning. This guild is only famous for a few things though; one of them being how destructive they are within everything they do. 
The fairy tail guild is an unusual one though; the characters within the guild all have their own mysterious past's behind them or have some sort of mystery surrounding their real reason for actually belonging to that guild. This also meaning that within the guild is tons of rivalry in-between those who use the elements; two of these rivals being Natsu the fire user and Gray the ice user. Everyone in the guild is special yet unusual in their very own way meaning that their is a lot of side stories and filler episodes in the anime where we get to know a lot more about these people or get an insight to what they are really like when out side of the guild or on their missions.
There are four main characters who we behind to follow and track throughout the anime itself, these characters are;
Lucy: A active character who isn't a normal wizard but a celestial wizard who uses her gate keys to summon gods and spirits from the past to help her fight in her battles, the back her up in any situation and help her out all of the time. Some of the Celestial spirits can be annoying and are presented in a weird sort of way, like the way they appear and how different they are to the other human/wizard characters.
Natsu: The most craziest and weirdest guy in the Fairy Tail guild. He was raised by a dragon who then left him at a young age, he can eat and us fire at his advantage, He is the toughest and one of the most destructive ones in the guild, he's crazy and can get pumped up even when facing death, everyone likes him apart from.....
Gray: Gray will always be Natsu's enemy in the guild, he uses ice but cannot eat it like natsu can eat fire. Since Fire and Ice are opposites they are presented in a way which makes them seem like enemies for life, Gray has a mysterious past which not a lot of people know about. A really cool character who also has an obsession for taking off his shirt to fight , nothing more then that just his shirt luckily enough for the male audience. 
Ezra: A women who appears a couple of episodes in and will always be covered head to toe in armor. nearly everyone in the guild is either scared of her or intimidated by her personality and appearance. On the outside she see to seems intimidating; but throughout the anime we get to see what she's really like and what her life as like before she arrived at the Fairy Tail guild.
Throughout the anime all of the characters in the guild develop a lot further and change a lot depending on the fillers as well; This does mean that it's important to watch the fillers too instead of just skipping ahead to the main story line... Remember that!
The graphics and animation in the anime are up to standard and the anime is available in HMV stores and online. The anime is also available on online anime streaming websites in English dubbed and English subbed. 
All in all the anime is hilarious and so funny to watch; the fighting scenes in it are absolutely amazing to watch and don't go on for to long. The stories behind the other characters are imaginative and fit together really well with other characters. The anime is defiantly worth you're time to watch and will keep you wanting to watch more no matter how old you are or how far you are into the anime!
I hope this short insight gives you a better idea about the anime and what to expect inside it!
