Review 55: Prison School (You want boobs? You`ve got boobs!)


Jesus Christ I thought it would be cool cause of the name, it's kind of cool but there's bewbs, god damn I hate the bewbs. So then, even because of the bewwwwbs, did I still enjoy it?


Too start off, most of you probably know that I HATE fan service and any form of panty flashing. I found this anime on Viewster quite a while back but I didn't read the description, the age rating or the 5-star rating for the anime... I just went off of the name which made me think "holy crap that sounds amazing, a school that's also a prison? I bet there's loads of fight scenes and torture and oh my GOD this one could be cool”. Then I watched it, and I think my opinion on fan service might have been changed... keep on reading to see why my stubborn opinions might have been changed!

It's based on a Japanese boarding school that's only ever been open for girls, and is still full of girls who basically have huge boobs and don't quite know how to keep their bloody legs closed and all they ever do is flash their panties; luckily enough everything is covered up by white strips of fan service protection which was a bloody relief, but that also depends on what site you use to stream, luckily I was using viewer so it was all censored so my innocent eyes didn't have to witness the horror of striped panties.

So this small group of boys move into the school, and they thought it was going to be heaven since the place is full of loads of cute girls for them to flirt with. However, none of the girls speak to them and they're too nervous to talk to them half of the time and the end up messing everything up just by attempting to talk. The main reason that the girls won't speak to them is because of an underground student council who make their own rules to scare away other girls, they (somehow) use crows to watch people so the girls can't talk to the boys if the crows are there. So these five boys are also extremely perverted they want to get some girls to go out with them but none of them will... So OBVIOUSLY they do what every other boy would do and that's perv on the girls, in the first episode they go up to the roof in tight, all black suits and they use a phone on a piece of string and lower it into the girls bathroom. So they're loving this whole perverted phone thing, and I was sat watching it on my laptop getting extremely annoyed with myself for making me watch this show because I immediately knew that this wouldn't be the only episode that would be covered in fan service. It was quite funny, but it put me off ever so slightly.

Like every other funny school based anime, of course the pervy guys messed up and got caught in the end and what the girls did was rather weird. So in the center of the school there's like a miniature prison, and the underground student council, who aren't really the nicest people in the world, put them in there for a month. They got to choose actually, either a month in prison at the school or they get expelled and their families are told about what they did to the other girls. They still attend lessons whilst in the prison though, which I guess is kind of good for them, I think they had a camera set up in the room they're supposed to be in and they use that as if they're in the classroom. It's quite strange really, and if I was those 5 lads then I would have just stayed inside of the prison. Because of their behavior they keep on getting given jobs where they have do loads of manual labor and building work, they literally won't do what they're told to do which means that things get worse and worse for them, but they don't realize that cause they just want to perv on the girls.

Now the reason as to why my opinion has changed:
So even though I didn't enjoy this anime, or the amount of bouncy boobs there where within it... I enjoyed the comedy. Yes, the comedy side made me forget about the fan service to some extent, even though the fan service was still annoying and still there throughout the show, the comedy side kind of distracted me from all of that which was quite interesting. Usually a lot of shows just place the fan service there and then do nothing with it, like there's a half-naked girl there and no one finds it weird at all or attractive, like it's an everyday thing... yeah? Well this show added a slight comedic twist to the majority of the fan service which made it quite enjoyable to watch, it didn't have it all of the time and when there was no fan service it was quite a funny show. So actually, I for once enjoyed a fan service filled anime show, which hasn't really happened before.

There are some weird characters in here, like a super cute blonde haired girl who is also a martial arts master, a really mean strict girl who used to get bullied because of her huge knockers and also a very sweet and innocent girl who is quite nice to one of the new boys and eventually develops feelings for him.
The male characters are definitely the best in the series, the girls are made out to be quite strict and forward people who clearly don't like the new change with the boys... Whilst the boys are made out to be relaxed people who just want to have a good time whilst at the school, they're funny, weird, outgoing and are completely random at times and just blurt anything; spoiler, one of them even she*its themselves just so their friend can have a recording of him with diarrhea... LIKE WHY? The boys in this are so funny, but there is one who is also quite serious at times and wants to take charge of the small group of boys; they mess up a lot, fight a lot and goggle over girls A LOT. I don't feel like there is any need for me to have a list of characters and what they're like, when you get watching it you notice that there isn't much difference in-between them all so there isn't much to tell really. There is a bit more to the girls who are in the Underground Council, because obviously there is a reason as to why they all hate the boys so much, so I would definitely keep an eye out for those girls.

This is the face of to much stress
and too much coursework.

my artwork!
But yeah, I finally enjoyed an anime that was completely filled with beewwwb shots and striped pantie flashing; I think after watching this show as well, I'm going to make sure that I am reading the shows descriptions instead of just watching it because it looks pretty cool, because I think I won't be able to put up with any more fan service after this one.
I wouldn't watch it again, and I wouldn't recommend it to any of my friends really... Could you imagine me recommending this show saying it's amazing and then my best friend just sees a load of boobs pop up on screen! They would kill me! I would recommend it to someone that for:
1. Likes fan service.
2. Won't play it through the speakers on your laptop because there is some WEIRD stuff on there.
3. Wants something a little bit different.
4. Kind of likes comedy but wants to see some boobs as well.

A great anime show doesn't need to show off breasts and underwear to make it any better, they need to focus on plot and character development if they want to get more viewers...That's a lot more appealing to me, and a lot of other people, rather than just focusing on where the next panty shot should be.

Review 54; K. Return Of Kings (No one told me about this)! SPOILERS!


So, if you know me as a person and not just some weirdo sat behind a computer screen, and you know me pretty well, then you should be aware that I absolutely love the K series... But was it as good as I anticipated?


For starts, you have to go and watch the movie that came out before this second series. I had no idea that there was a movie so I had to go back and watch it quickly before moving onto the second series, however, I won't be reviewing it since its only one movie and I haven't really got time for reviewing just one thing right now. But yeah, movie first and then the second series.
I am still a little bit annoyed as well since no one even mentioned that there was a movie and then a second season being released! I've been waiting for the second season for so long... (Almost as long as the deadman wonderland fans waiting for the second season which will never be released).

I started watching it as soon as It finished airing over in Japan, which was about December time. I quickly whizzed through the film first and then moved onto this second series, but this is the down side; if you don't have access to that movie, then the second season will make virtually no sense to you at all. There were some parts where I got confused and I had to remember what had happened in the movie... But this is (luckily) not as confusing as the first season.
If you've watched the first season of K project, then you most probably know what I mean by "it's confusing" I know quite a few people who had to go back and re-watch episodes of the anime to try and figure out what the hell had just happened at the end of the season. It was slightly confusing for some people, and near the end of that first season... My head had just gone and done the hugest fart you would have ever smelt.

Back to the anime then...
THERE MAY BE SOME SPOILERS UP AHEAD IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE FIRST SEASON!!!
If anyone complains about spoilers, I think I might stop doing reviews since everyone complains about spoilers even when I bloody tell them that I might spoil something, mardy!!

We begin this amazing second season with one of the most heartfelt flashbacks of when Mikato was still alive, then an awesome fight begins against the red clan and the blue clan; a rather welcoming and nostalgic start I must say. Then obviously, we get back to reality, Mikato is dead and the blue clan’s king is slowly destroying his sword. If you haven't watched the previous series and want too, then please don't read on because I guarantee people will hate me for this.

So Anna is the current leader of the red clan, which is seriously strange since we never saw her fight or even be close to aggressive in the first season. Yata swears to look after her and protect and the red clan seems a whole lot closer than in the first season. One of the best and small touches I thought there was for both the Red clan and the Blue clan, was that every time there was a conversation; they all clearly said each other’s names, I don't know if they were doing this to make sure that you remember everyone else and not just the major characters, but I thought it was quite a nice touch to the series. You learned more about the red clans and the blue clan’s clansmen, you learnt about their personalities, what they fight with and who they hate the most in the opposite clan. Even in the opening scene you see them pick who they want to fight the most. Like I said, small touch, but effective.

The whole storyline in this second season is based around a clan that had nothing to do with the storyline of the first season. If you remember, the first season was all about Blue, Red, and Silver and a then a few appearances from the Gold leader. This time around we have the Blues, the reds, the silver, something bad happens to the gold leader (trying to cut out the spoilers) and then the green clan appears out of bloody nowhere and think that the whole clan thing is just a huge game. The green clan recruits other clan’s people by using an underground social network where anyone can join up, and the majority of people don't even know that the clans have powers. The clan is called "Jungle" the J players are the top rankers and E is the lowest. People lower down in the rankings are encouraged to find out information on other clans, collect images and then take them out; for any of these you'll collect points and the more points you have, the closer you can be ranking up. However, there are only three J ranking players who have been granted powers by their clan leader. No one else is allowed to have access to powers, and most of them just have small little green birds that explode, that's the only weapon that they're given against other clans. (A few do have guns).

Long story short, the Jungle clan gets cocky... way too cocky for all of the other clans liking as they are trying their best to draw out the king of the silver clan. Most of all, they want the slate that gives the clans their powers so they can unleash it to the rest of the world; which by the way, is hilarious because no one knows why flames are coming out of their hands. The Silver clan king does appear and all of the other king’s band together to come up with a plan on who to beat the Jungle clan, it's quite smart and something that's much unexpected from people who just hate and want to kill each other.

So, the real question is, was it as good as the first season?
The answer is,
possibly even better than the first season actually!
So, the majority of people who watched the first season found it all pretty confusing as it got closer to the end and had to go back and watch it, I was one of those people. I watched it all the way through, and then had to go back and watch the last 5 or 6 episodes to fully understand what had happened; this time around everything was told perfectly and timed just right, nothing got confusing and everything made perfect sense. Everything fitted together perfectly so there was no need to waste time and go back, to watch two episodes to understand one thing; the only problem with that was the film before this season that you have to watch.
Being introduced properly to all of the side characters who only made a proper appearance at the end of season 1 was also interesting, they all have different enemies in the opposite clan and when they team up everyone who were enemies before end up getting on and fighting together.

This season was brilliant, it all made sense, we got to see every character in some form of action and It did have some pretty good twists and unexpectedness about it. Obviously the animation is brilliant because it's brand new, and the animation in the flames seem bloody badass this time around. The OST's where quite different too and seemed to have more of an edge to them instead of the slower ones in the first season. One downside, even in the opening sequence for the first episode there was quite a bit of fan service from one particular woman... Didn't quite enjoy that, but then again Woman crush right there. If there's any anime characters I want to be it would be her, and we all know who she is, just take a wild guess and it'll be correct.

One bad thing, the Jungle leader mentions something about him and Neko being the same as each other and both chose to erase their memories... I have no idea if missed something but oh well!

Review 53: No Game, No Life (ADORABLE)


The only way to describe this anime is just plain bloody adorable... But is that enough to rule over the Imanity race?

Basically, these two siblings remind me of me and my older sister when we where younger. Our first gaming system was a Gamecube from my mum and then my DS... But my dad on the other hand was all Atari and sega megadrive, things like that. Which is one of the reasons that I quite like this anime.

This brother and sister duo are mad video game players who just can't take their eyes off of the screen for five minutes. None of them have any friends, from what I've seen they don't have parents that live with them, they never leave the house and are surrounded by screens in their room that are always lit up with different games or profiles for their characters. Everything is just so brigh in this anime it's practically blinding.

We follow the lives of Sora an 18 year old, virgin male who can't talk to girls to save his life... And his younger sister Shiro (who must be about 11 or 12 years old). They are inseparable, they can't be a certain distance away from each other otherwise they freak out and have these mini panic attacks and then run to each other like some romantic movie.
Together they form the team known as "blank", and every time they play a video game they leave the name space blank, and that's how the "blank" became this weird urban legend that are currently un-defeated, most people think that they are cheaters or hackers of some sort that cheat their way through games to beat everyone else.

We join them as they're fighting in an online game, they're controlling four different characters in-between the two of them and are literally destroying every other player who approaches them, then it cuts to them both... An older brother and younger sister bored out of their minds sat in a room surrounded by screens, its deadly quiet and they look about half dead and malnourished. Well, they kick ass anyways and never want to lose. Then they get challenged, to a small game of chess from an unknown player who knows who they are... Then their screens get taken over, and arms come out, some weird techy stuff happens and then BOOM!! They're in another world! A little boy called Tet who claims that he's a god lets them live in this new world, but they have to follow the rules. There's a sort of spell that's cast over the world, and everyone has to live by the ten pledges and it's almost impossible to break one of the funniest ones... But if you want to know them, then go and watch them cause it's kind of weird and their falling from 10,000 feet above the ground whilst theirs a little kid telling them the rules.

In total there are 16 different species that live in this world called "disboard" the top species are actually the gods and the bottom species are the humans. The reason being is that the ranks are done in ranking of magical ability, so humans are just right down there at the bottom. However, there is only one civilization of humans left in the world, a city called Elkia who currently has no king. They enter this new world and old fashioned city and there's a tournament going on for the next king, however everything in this world is decided by simple games... So people are playing poker to become king, it's very strange! I'm going to add a little spoiler here, but it happens in the 4th episode anyway, so it isn't too far in to the series; But Sora and Shiro become king and queen and they are trying their best to save Elkia in the most casual way possible.

They have to be the most laid back characters I've seen for a while, they're in a completely new world and don't even give a damn! The only thing they're deadly serious about are the games that they play, and probably cute naked girls. They're pretty cool though, Shiro is a twisted cute girl who doesn't speak that much and wears cute little dresses that love! And Sora is a horny virgin who just needs a cute girl to hug, but instead he just enslaves them and they give him information and cook for him and just look all cute.
Yeah the girls in this are just adorable and I want one as my girly best friend, but there is quite a bit of fan service with them and even with the younger sister! Shiro, the sister, is the most twisted and makes one of the girls undress and pretend to be a dog at one point, she just does weird R rated things that even her brother finds a bit weird, and then when he does something R rated she just finds it perfectly normal. Now I hate fan service, the panty shots are quite annoying now but the girls have quirky and stupid personalities that I quite like so I don't mind;  think if there are any more I might be put off quite a bit, and I'm almost finished with the series now... I've put up with too many oversized boobs and too many striped panties!

Everything in this anime is beautifully designed and is put together perfectly, the designing is gorgeous and everything you see is brightly colored. The scenes around the city are bright green and yellow, and gorgeous and oh my god I love it. I think that's the main reason I like this anime, just the designing for the whole show is amazing and It completely suits the theme of this being a new world with completely new species of people/animals. The storyline is lacking something, probably because we don't know that much about the characters or the back story of these characters... Then there isn't a lot of detail into the backstory of everyone else, sometimes things like this can get confusing and seem rushed and then I just lose track of what's going on.
To me, it does seem rushed in some ways, like how the characters don't quite question anything around them because they "like it" was a bit absurd. It may just be the fact that the series just jumps into exactly what it wants to be, it seems to be lacking back bone and it seems to be missing some pieces of information until later on. I think in the first few episodes they just go with the flow of what they've planned for the series, then later on their appears to be something that they've actually carefully planned out. Like the previous king and his secrets, the tactics for overcoming the other races and then them restoring humanity in this new world.

So I guess the beginning put me off a bit, it seemed to me like they rushed into it and It even took me some time to sit and think "right, there in a new world, they like it and everything is hunkey dory at the moment". Then at other times it had a gradual build up that made perfect sense for that kind of scenario.
Then there was the constant panty shots and squeezing of breasts that put me off hugely! It's an anime about going to a different world, living with fantasy creatures and trying to restore humanity... So why does there have to be panty shots and stuff all of the time? I know some perverts who play online games have to give the woman a pair of little panties and some nipple protectors, but to enjoy an anime, and I mean REALLY enjoy an anime I prefer to not have something that has been purposely placed to draw in a specific kind of audience... This one must be World of Warcraft men who pretend to be kinky women when online kind of audience.
I enjoyed the anime, besides the story problems, so why do they have to add fan service! Surely it was enjoyable and funny to watch without it!? Right?

Give me your opinions! I want to know if anyone actually enjoys fan service stuff!
