Review 19: Baka And Test (Fighting avatars... And a feel good anime)??

Review 19: Baka And Test (Fighting avatars... And a feel good anime)??
The famous feel good anime hit our screens not to long ago, but has it hit as many of us as it should of???
Baka and test does have to be one of the funniest Animes thats up there with Fairy Tail!!
Thees a whole host of weird wacky things to get us intrested in the story.... From a boy who looks and acts to much like a girl, girls who compeat in breast size all the way to fighting avatars who battle other classes for furniture.....? Make any sense yet??
In Fumizuki Academy anything you could imagine is either possible or almost there. There are 6 different ranked classes in each year group, A through to F. A is Obviously the smartest, whilst F is for what they call the idiots which unfortunetly only has 2 girls.
Now for one that's sexist, and two it proves girls are smarter. (ahaha screw you guys).
Baka and Test has some amazing characters, weird teachers and physcotic girls. To give you an idea of what I mean, here's some characters profiles to get you started:
Yoshii Akihisa; The main character and idiot in the series. His parents are away for work whilst his sister is studying in America, he's left Home Alone for a long time. With only a small budget of money to spend every month, a over protective sister who will only allow him to be in gay relationships and crazy friends that love him and take all of his money away..... His life is a crazy mess. His avatar is a funny, trouble making mini version of himself. Its also the only avatar in the school that can interact with objects and humans.... Which means teachers use him for chores and make him run errands all day... Poor kid.....
Himeji Mizuki; A young busty girl who has the boys eyeing her up and down every day, pervs.... She gets the top scores in every test, includng remedial tests so her avatar is stronger. In the entrance exam she colllapsed due to illness which meant she got a biggggg 0!!! This meant that she was immediatly sent to class F. We see later that is she didn't collapse during the exam he would of defiantly made into class A. Also its not just the Remedial tests, its just every test that has to do with her avatar. She fancies the hell out of Yoshii but kinda flirts with the other boys in class. With plenty of good looks the boys all love her, but little do they all know is that her cooking is that bad it knocks to many characters out.... Poor lads.
Shimada Minami; The over manly girl.... She loves breaking Yoshii's bones if he says the slightest wrong or slightly offensive. She may be Japanese but she spent most of her life in Germany, this means she can only read Hirigana and Katagana but not Kanji.... This means that the only questions she can answer at school are mathmatical. This ended her up in class F for the rest of her school life. She may like Yoshii but wony admit it to anyone, and there's a random ginger lesbian who attacks her every time she goes near a boy...... Life can only get stranger.
Sakamoto Yūji; Yoshii's best friend, and practically make a comedy duo. He's the class representative for F, but is to laid back for the girls liking... But what can I say, I think he fits in with the rest of the class. He's calm, cool and collected in any situation. Very early in the series we see him leading class f into victory against class E, but unexpectadly later on he loses to class A's rep who soon uses him as a fake boyfriend.Yūji really hates her, and whenever it comes to movies he always choses the longest and makes him watch it twice...... That's if he hasn't been tazered.....
In the Anime every class has a certain amount of equipment at a certain standard. Class A's being the best and F's being the worse. This means if a lower class challenges a higher class they exchange equipment. This could mean that F have tbe latest technology and comfort whilst A have cardboard boxes and cushions that have... Well lost the Cushion in them... Understand my logic???
Its a great watch with not to much fanservice so its suitable enough for younger ages. Its extremely funny, so I usually end up on the sofa by myself becaue everyone thinks I'm weird.... Could be true. An amazing Anime which should be noticed for its comedic logic, high ranked technology and the worlds cutest fighting avatars.

You've got to see this anime!!!!!

Review 18: Higurashi When They Cry (simply wtf factor)???

Review 18: Higurashi When They Cry (simply wtf factor)???
Ummm, does weird cover this series????
Or just manic and insane tell you enough????
This amazing series of Anime teaches us all what true confusion whilst trying to figure out what's going on is like. This is already a world wide famous anime that's been out for years, but to me only a recent discovery which has amazed me so far.
If you've already watched this anime then you'll know what I mean by confusing. People usually get to episode 8 out of 26 and give in because their un interested.
Their wrong....
Up to episode 4 we see our main characters learning all about a curse which has haunted Hinamizawa for 5 years. everyday, on the same day of every year 1 person will die and 1 will go missing along with that person. in certain cases 2 people will die instead of one, both in mysterious circumstances.


If you've watched some of these episodes than there will be absolute confusion, that's if you don't read in to it. Every 4 episodes the scenario restarts. I won't ruin it for you as the first 4 episodes don't make much of an impact or impression.....But one, well 3 if you count those insane characters too, die.....All within episode 4.
Straight after episode 4....Boom!!!! Their all alive again and happy as can be. I feel as if they've done this to show all of the ways you can possibly die from Oyashiros curse, and all of the possible outcomes small decisions can make.
Oyashiro, he is the guardian of Hinamizawa who supposedly looks over the villagers... But in this Anime the guardian does the opposite of what it should do. Apparently when 1 sin is committed you will either die or go missing, if you die someone close to you will go missing. If someone goes missing, someone close to them will die.
I won't say anything about the characters in this story apart from the fact that the main cast will either be seen at least once or those 4 episodes will be based on that character. The main bunch that we see are quite unusual and happy, each of them have their own individual side which is eerie, creepy and slightly disturbing. So I'm going to let you all have your own experience with this Anime.
it is a great watch from start to finish, with parts that don't make sense till later, to parts of the puzzle which you have to fit together yourself to figure out the true meaning of the story. An amazing Anime which I'm going to finish watching no matter what.

Review 17: Akira (NEO Magazine, Review Competition Entry)

Review 17: Akira (NEO Magazine, Review Competition Entry)

So this reviews was done a veryyyyy long time ago when i read a magazine called NEO. They set up a competition for a short review on an Anime called Akira happens to be one of the first anime/anime films i`ve ever watched everrr. So you can obviously tell why i lost the competition XD It was a rather failed attempt and i wasn`t to bothered about not getting in the Mag... But yeah, here`s the original copy of it!

Fancy an action packed Anime with bike gangs and scientific experiments???
Keep reading; Cause there's going to be an overload of it soon enough.
Akira, just the name gets you intrigued. The Anime itself is quite old, its not based on a tv program, was bought out quite a while back and whilst only at the age of 12.... Gets you pulled, dragged and drowned by the anime world.
The first anime I ever watched which made me fall to my knees with the disappointing ending which I didn't really understand at first...opps??
With the first few scenes focused on a motor bike gang it already draws in those previous lovers of the anime world.
With the youngest and the most wimpiest kid in the gang being the main character it already stands out from the others. As we all usually see the main character being the strongest, most violent and demanding in the group if we focused on various types of Anime.
With Tetsuo Shima as our main character it just shows that the stereo typical attention seeking main character is not always the best one to go along with. This young boy is an orphan, abandoned by his parents at a young age and literally tortured by other children who belonged to the same orphanage as him.
We meet other characters along the way like Shotaro Kaneda, his best friend who was almost like his older brother, also he started up the bike gang in the first place. He's seems to be the strongest out of the group.
Also the rebellion group, The Espers who are unfortunate children who are constantly being tested on....And Obviously the government themselves.
With loveabe characters, some slight confusion, classical animation techniques, motor bike gangs, crazy scientists, children with granny like skin (eww) and the classical rebellion group that should be admired.
For me its the film that got me in love with anime from a surprisingly young age, which some people would find bad as its aged 18, I got over the violence and from it I've matured. Its an anime for beginners I think but an old time favorite.

Its been 2years since ive watched it, and I remember it all as if it was just the other day.

Review 16: High School Of The Dead (To much panty flashing)

Review 16: High School Of The Dead (To much panty flashing)

Once again another anime infested by zombies and people turning the world upside down.In this series we see a whole host of characters giving their own disturbing views and sights to us.This all starts off as a normal day with Takhashi bunking off his lesson to zone out at the city, to then be yelled at by Kagari. A girl who's literally a child genius who supposedly doesn't have to go to any lessons as ses knows it all (haha, yeah right). As she walks away acting all smug to herself, a lifeless man walks up to the school gates to be met by the gym teachers who realise that their lives will soon be over.

After the whole school climaxes to chaos the only survivors we see are:

Rei- A fun loving girl who sadly loses her boyfriend to the zombie epidemic, he unfortunately has to be killed by his best friend so they don't get bitten. The fanservice for her is quite bad....

Takhashi- A miserable teenager that really cannot be bothered with school, bunks off of lessons to much and is pretty handy with a wooden baseball bat. Unfortunetly he is forced to kill his friend at the beginning, (disturbing....). The only weapon he uses is a wooden baseball bat but later takes a gun from a dead police officer. Just proves that when there are zombies about.....Feel free to break the law multiple times.

Kagari- A little know it all, but when the zombies arise we realize that she actually relies on her mum. As she screams for her whilst putting a power drill into a zombies head.....Lovely. She hates other nerds and seriously hates to be bossed around so will scream in your face on a regular basis.

Hirano- A quite chubby nerd who follows Kagari around constantly. He’s handy with a nail gun and uses that as his weapon through the series. Kagari hates him, but he loves her. He can be a bit of a pervert when it comes to Kagari....But he soon learns to keep that to himself. he's quite most of the time as he was never a violent person, but this apocalypse soon brings out the tougher side of him which shows to be the best.

As we meet the other characters we learn that other humans, apart from these, are going insane. For instance we find a teacher that just let's another student die, our main cast of characters seem to think that he's almost starting his own religion by the way he's acting and projecting his ideas.The others leave him and the other students so they can venture out by themselves and actually get out of all of this.I may not be into all of the fanservice, as I hate it, but this series is amazing!! The fighting scenes aren't too violent so anyone can watch it, the fanservice isn't completely over the top and we all get to know the characters at a quick pace so for me this has got to be one of my top animes. 5 stars!!
