Review 41: Mysterious Girlfriend X (They eat each others drool)...

They say this is supposed to be a romantic comedy anime about a Young couple... But it is it really just plain disgusting?

This anime was produced in 2012, the most twisted and disgusting love story about a young couple ever. It seems all innocent at first as a new student Urabe Mikoto Is introduced to the class. The young boy out of this 'sweet' couple is called Akira Tsubaki, He seems sweet at first and is one of the few people that actually speaks to Urabe but they don't quite become friends.

Urabe Mikoto: She's very, very quite and shy at first... But soon after joining the class she has a rather random outburst of laughter whilst the teacher is in the middle of speaking to the class. People begin to avoid her as all she does is fall asleep and drools all over her desk. She seems rather creepy at first by the way that she appears and speaks but when people actually see her face properly; the seem shocked and surprised by the adorable face she actually has! She doesn't like relationships and refuses to be friends with anyone in her new found class, she isolates herself and stays quite. We learn a bit more about her and we see a lot more of her further in the series. She also has a rather odd habit of cutting everything up with a pair of scissors she keeps in her underwear...

Akira Tsubaki: He is the only one that speaks to Urabe, Outside school and in school; he's one of the few people who actually try to make an effort with her and he succeeds. He's one of the only people who actually knows more about her than just her name, he tried to discover more and get closer but she refuses and let's them stay at the same point as before. He tries to express his feelings for her but every time he tries she disapproves of it. He's the only person in their class that will accept her for who she is and he's the only one who looks past the sleeping and the drool. Even though they don't know each other for that long they instantly click and end up being in a relationship which is bonded by drool...

Drool seems to be the key word in this anime; at the beginning we see Urabe asleep on her desk after school; she lifts her head up to reveal a pile of drool which she just leaves and then she walks out of class. Akira seems interested in the drool so he does one of the most disgusting things i've seen in an anime for a while now... he dips his finger in the small pool of drool and then licks it.

Shortly after doing this he falls ill; Urabe sees him whilst he's sick and explains the illness and what's happening to him. he takes it as a joke at first and then he realizes that she's being serious as she demonstrates the power of a small drop of her drool.The anime is quite fan serviced base; even though it's supposed to be romantic there is a lot of nakedness and sex related dreams that occur. Most of the time, the anime does go into detail about the dreams and the fantasies that they both have about each other.

In a way i wouldn't really recommend this anime; but that's just because naked girls and sex related themes just aren't my thing. To others it'll probably be a dream come true to find an anime like this... If that's you, then you're weird (no offense).The animation doesn't seem so new to me, the story line isn't really touching but quite disgusting. the characters are only memorable by the disgusting things they do to each other. In a way, i don't think there is anything special about it, it just seems like another low budget fan service anime which makes me want to puke everywhere.

I wouldn't really recommend it, but if you like naked stuff and sex then... I guess it's for you? (gross)...

Review 40: Kuroke No Basuke (little blue haired dude)!

Review 40: Kuroko No Basuke (Little blue haired dude)!

 

So this is, yet again, a fun loving anime filled with laughs and competition... But does Basketball really suit the Japanese lifestyle!?

Kuroko No Basuke is another one of those feel good sporty animes which is easy to fall in love with! The characters in the anime have amazing personalities and ways of tackling situations. The graphics and animation that the creator uses is up to scratch and gives you the best possible viewing that you could get for a funny and amazing anime!The main characters that with have in this anime are obviously Kuroko and his new found friend Kagami. At first we see that both characters hate each other and are complete opposites in every single way; which already sets a good and competitive mood for the rest of the anime and the events that are about to come.

The anime starts off with the viewers being told about The Generation Of Miracles: a 5 man basketball team that graduated from middle school after becoming the best team in the whole of Japan!! (I think). After they all graduated they all went separate ways and went to different schools; all of those players haven't seen each other ever since. Until now...

Kuroko joins the in at Seirin High, were he decides to join the basketball team, and then proves himself to the whole of the school that he in fact is the 6th member of The Generation Of Miracles... (we'll get back to that later). Kagami has, in fact, just returned from America where he played Basketball for his own team; He signs up for Seirins basketball team and soon notices that it may just be a complete waste of time.

When it comes round to actually playing basketball; the team is terrible apart from Kagami. Which then creates a sort of one man team and a lonely background for such a strong character. He is in fact the strongest man on the team, when we see all of the players; we, the viewers, get to see how much of a difference in size Kagami is to Kuroko... Kuroko doesn't play basketball at first, instead he sits out on the bench and isn't even noticed until a while in to the series... Well I think it' a while anyway.

The storyline is mainly that Kuroko and Kagami are going to take on the rest of The Generation Of Miracles and their new teams; Even though Kuroko is smaller and not as good as everyone else, he does hold a sill that the other members of The Generation Of Miracles does not have. As our team keeps on challenging the other members of The Generation Of Miracles we do get to see all of the skills each ad everyone one of them has in store for us. The more we see our Seirin team play against The Generation Of Miracles we see them get stronger and get closer as a team.

The characters themselves are quite simple minded and quite funny; but when they start playing they do become deadly serious and it takes another turning point for us as the viewers. The team are quite funny when they are off the court and we get to see them become closer and even funnier the longer we watch.

Over all, I think the anime is superb; it's hilarious to watch and it just makes you laugh at loud no matter what episode it is that you’re on! I loved the series and I think I’m going to keep on watching it in my spare time, it's defiantly worth a watch and your time!! The animation is amazing, the voice overs are amazing, the characters are amazing and the storyline is kinda all over the place... BUT AMAZING!!!Get watching guys!

It`s come to my attention, that once again, my blog posts have got some weird white background appearing behind them.

This was one of my main reasons as to why I slowed down and eventually completely stopped uploading my old reviews because it was too much hassle to try and get rid of the white backdrop. If anyone does have any advice on how to get rid of them easily then please do message me! It happens whenever I transfer a review from wattpad to my blog and it`s a lot of hassle to try and get rid of at the moment.

A big thanks to everyone for being patient and sending me Anime suggestions over facebook and wattpad!

See you all again soon!

Review 39: Attack On Titan (Huge, Naked Thingies)...

 So in this imaginary world full of extraordinary surprises we see that naked men are running around killing other naked men... wait, can we back track a little bit?
So in this anime we see the series set around the adventures of a young boy named Eren, his amazing adopted sister Mikasa and their best friend Armin. All of who which live inside of a huge city; not an ordinary city though... This city is surrounded by a gigantic wall; the only reason that this ridiculous thing has to actually be there is to stop these creatures called Titans from entering the city and devouring humans. This isn't the only city in this imaginary world full of blood and gore.... No, no; this city that our wonderful murderous characters live inside is one of the ones that the centre city use to protect themselves (if that even makes any sense)
So this anime, I have to say, has to be one of the most up to date ones I’ve watched so far. The graphics are amazing and the animation is top notch; obviously due to how new it is. The detail on the characters, these humongous killer giants and the gore is absolutely outstanding. The way the creator uses the titans to add new and unusual twists to the plot and the characters’ lives has to be some of the only techniques that I have seen, that are actually working so successfully it's making fandom become crazier for this anime!
So the series basically starts with Eren and his adopted sister being themselves and showing us what life is like around their city. It basically starts off as nice as possible and soon turns utterly sour... After we see soldiers who are sent to kill the Titans return from their mission announcing that they have failed; things turn horribly wrong for the people in this world full of horror.
(If you haven't yet seen it, don't read on; as this is pretty much a huge spoiler on the first few episodes. Trust me, it is amazing so if you've read on this far and want to watch it... Do it now)
When the towns people are going about their daily business, we hear the sounds of giant footsteps echoing in the background of the hustle and bustle of the lives of the innocent people who are about to meet a painful fate of blood and horror. A hugeeeeeee Titan, which is wayyy bigger than all of the normal of the normal Titans... And this one is taller than the wall that these people call ‘protection’ so immediately, we know that this isn't going to end well at all. This Titan is completely different from all of the others, first off; his height, and second the god damn strength his big toe has... He stands there for, what seems, forever and then kicks down the main gate into the city that our characters are based in. Which then lets in all of the normal titans so they can now begin their feast on the human race...
In my own opinion I think this anime is amazing, from the beginning where we see our characters grow up and become the ultimate fighters... Until the end where we see them become even stronger fighters, (yeah, I can't think of anything right now). Basically I think the attention to detail that the creator has added is absolutely superb, the characters they have created to make us want to learn more about their lives makes us fall in love, the giant titans included brings out the inner horror lover in us all and the absolutely best fighting scenes that we see with the 3D manoeuvre gear impresses the inner fan in all of us!
So if this isn't enough to convince anime lovers that this has to be the number one anime of the year then I actually don't know if I should give you more spoilers; which would frankly annoy everyone who reads my reviews. So take my word for it! If you love gore, plot twists, naked giants and loveable characters that you wish could be your best friends... THEN WATCH ATTACK ON TITAN NOW!!!

Review 38: The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (Touching, Time Travelling Love)!

Review 38: The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (Touching, Time Traveling Love)!

Time travel just became possible... But not how we imagined... This wonderful anime film will touch you're hearts; it's one that you will never forget!

The anime itself was made in 2006 but still has amazing animation and techniques used to make it seem as modern as possible. The creator of the anime seems to use extremely confusing, intelligent and hilarious ways of messing around with the time skipping and the events that may occur afterwards. Compared to other classical animes like Akira, this one seems a bit more natuarally based with the scenarios and characters that they've chosen. They only un-natural aspect of this anime is that they skip through time by jumping off of random objects... Strange people...

Since it is only a film, i can't really go into much depth about any of the characters, or the story line or the basic plot for the story to flow in and out of! Since the story line is too confusing for me to attempt to describe, i can't put it into words to tell you guys! Which is annoying... I can't really talk about the characters involved because they are forever changed in appearance, personality and they twist the story line too much.

All i can say is that: The story line is confusing, but amazing! The characters are strange, but without them the story line would be practically dead! Even though i can't explain the events of the anime, it is a must watch and it is very touching! I must of watched it about 6 times now, personally i love it! It's just to difficult to put into words or write a review on it...

So the best thing to do is just get you all to watch it! Job done...

Review 37: Hell Girl (The price is the soul).

Review 37: Hell Girl (The price is the soul).

So it does seem really hard to explain the concepts of hell girl without ruining the story behind it and what the main characters backgrounds are like. So I am soooooo sooooo sorry if there are any spoilers in this review!

Basically the series as a whole is about a young girl who is dead but not really dead and is stuck in between hell and earth. So like a purgatory kind of aspect to it. She travels around with three other people; an old man who usually takes the form of a doll, a middle aged woman who takes the form of whatever she pleases and a young boy who seems to be in his young 20's who also takes the form of whatever he pleases. These people are also known as the hell correspondence. An online website which is only retrievable at midnight. When on the Hell Correspondence website the user has to enter the name of someone they wish to refer to hell; this won't happen straight away though. What happens next is that Hell girl comes and visits you and gives you a doll that looks a bit like a voodoo doll. When you're ready to send this person to hell you just pull the red thread from around his neck and hell girl will fetch them and take them to hell. The only problem is that when you die your soul will also belong to hell. 

I received the first disc to the Hell Girl series last year as a birthday present from my cousins; now they don't see me that much and don't really know what I like but I think this present had to be the closest they have ever gotten to what I asked for. (Bless them). So basically they said if I liked the first one then they'll get me the rest whenever they could which seemed like a pretty good deal. So as I watched the first one I noticed that there was actually no story line involved what so ever; the only people that remained the same where the people from the hell correspondence... All of the other characters that you meet along the way are just people who have been affected by someone and wish to send them to hell at some point. 

So after I watched the first one I did some reading into the series. Apparently the story line and main characters appear in the second disc so I asked if I could have the rest of the series. I did eventually get the rest of the series and it does eventually start properly and when it does it starts to get interesting. As the audience we meet a journalist who is looking into the ever growing audience that love the hell correspondence and his daughter. We learn from their conversations that her mother is actually dead but it never says if the journalist is actually her dad or not. She always calls him by his first name. This does seem weird but it doesn't reveal anything throughout the series. They don't really develop much as characters apart from the little girl who eventually grows to hate the journalist as he becomes too involved in the happenings surrounding the hell girl.

We do see a lot of touching stories along the way and some pointless ones; we do get to learn a lot about each and every character that we encounter. Including their past, their school, their family, their friends and what is actually wrong with the individual. This does seem a little weird for this type of anime to go into so much depth about a character that we won't see every again throughout the series as a whole. This then gives us a bit of understanding as to why they do this and what actually drives them into sending people into hell. So as a whole anime there is a lot of understanding of the characters that the audience has to pick up on along the way.
The graphics and animation is yet again top notch and lives up to the standard of modern anime shows. There is not too much gore and if there is then it lacks blood and organs. This is pretty good in my mind because it appeals to all audiences so I think that it was actually a pretty clever move to have something so involved with hell itself but not have the gore that we would expect from a normal hell-is anime. 
The anime as a whole has a lot of dialogue and different characters; it is English dubbed and subbed and is available online for download or free streaming. Also available in HMV stores and online stores. You cannot buy the discs in a complete collection yet (I think) they can only be bought separately so far but they aren't too hard to find. 

Spoiler part: If you want to watch the anime then don't read this!!!!!!

In the end of the anime it does become a bit confusing as we learn the truth behind the hell girl and what happened to her when she was younger. It actually turns out that a very long time ago there was an old fashioned village that needed to sacrifice an 8 year old girl every year so they could have a good harvest season; in other words pleasing the gods was the key. This meant that the hell girl was to be sacrificed; we eventually find out that her loving cousin was the one to save her and he managed to help her stay out of harm’s way. Just shows that your family can be trusted sometimes! 

A few years’ later people from the village find out where bouts she's hiding and return her to the village; here at the village her and her parents are stoned to death by the angry villagers who had the bad harvest. Strangely enough she comes back; but when she does we meet the hell that is the hell girl. On her first hour of returning she sets the village a light and the only person there to witness the burning is her beloved cousin who tried his best to keep her out of harm’s way.

This seems to give the whole series as a whole an extremely unexpected twist on events; when we see what happened and her will to survive that sacrifice. It just shows that her will to survive carries on within all of the other characters that we eventually meet throughout the anime. It's as if hell girl herself is actually passing on that will to other people so they also have the power to stop whatever is in their way. The revenge that she has still possess those who use the hell correspondence website; this just adds a huge twist that will affect everyone in different ways as different things begin to emerge. 

I actually watched the anime series with a friend and his thoughts on it was that her hatred towards people reflects on those who use the site as their hatred grows stronger towards a person. He also said that this acts as revenge because hell girl is also sending them to hell as well as if she hates every living being.Watch the anime and see what you think about why she does it in the end; comment what you think below and let's put all of these ideas together! Thanks guys and I do apologize for adding the spoiler at a different time to the rest of the review!
