Angel Beats -- left me with mixed emotions!

     Angel Beats is one of those uniquely mind-boggling anime that would leave you wanting for more when it ends and makes your mind think of what-ifs or leaves you with more questions than when you started it. Amazingly, this anime just had everything in it without ruining the whole series. What I am trying to say is that, in this anime we find just the right amount of humor in it, and a lot of emotional/sentimantal scenes in it but has great action as well! I found myself laughing so much and silently wiping off those tears I tried not to shed as well. All in all this is one anime that makes you reflect on a lot of things.
     Before everything else, Angel Beats is an anime which dives into a world where people who get stuck in it because they died with regrets or, more or less, were not able to fulfill their dreams. This another concept of what we call "purgatory". Human souls are sucked into this world and we then find the protagonist, Otonashi, who suddenly finds himself waking up in this world without an inkling of what is happening. Imagine waking up one day only to find someone who suddenly tells you "You are dead". Otonashi joins this certain group who calls themself the Afterlife Battlefront and fights with them against a girl whom they call "Angel" or tenshi in japanese. From here on, he struggles together with his newfound friends to understand what the purpose of this world's creation to human souls such as theirs.
     I love this anime because it had lots of emotional stuffs going on amidst all the battles of the Afterlife Battlefront. The ending was quite heart-wrenching too but, nevertheless, quite satisfying and unexpected too. The anime's soundtrack is also very good and we get to see this anime band called "Girls Dead Monster" which is of course was made for this anime only but their songs were quite good. I loved their "Crow Song" the best.
     Well, what more can I say? This anime is amazing! I recommend this to anyone who wants a lot of action in an anime with humor and emotional stuff! Have a great time watching this unique anime that would satisfy your needs of a totally different kind of anime.

Amazing! High School of the Dead has paved its way to awesomeness!

This anime series has so much in it that you should not miss this at all!!!! NEVER! This anime is very unique in more ways than just one. This is all about zombies, yeah -- zombies, but I love how they present the story. I know you have seen movies like Dawn of the Dead and all that crap (but I haven't!) but I do not know why I love this anime so much even after just watching the first episode. First of all, before I go on telling all the things I love about this anime, I'll just tell you a lil bit of what I know about it. This series is all about Japan being flooded by zombies and also the rest of the world for that matter. It centers on a group of high school students trying to survive until this mess actually ends. Sounds a little bit boring and a bit stereotypical but don't get fooled because, mind you, just watching the first episode would make you get hooked up with this anime.

I love everything about this anime. It has nice drawing (a lot of ecchi stuff too which I usually hate). The music is amazing and the best part is that the plot presentation. I love how the plot develops in a smooth way and haven't I mentioned that action scenes fill up more than 70% of each episode? Not to mention all the blood and gore that it has too!
If you want some new kind of anime and a good watch -- I recommend this anime to every anime freak out there! You'll definitely have a good time on this one! :-)

Hilarious B Gata H Kei!!!!

This is a series I just finished last week and it was so fun the whole time. It was about a popular girl named Yamada whom anyone would think has a lot of sexual experiences when, in reality, she doesn't have any of those things. To spice things up, she sets a goal of having a hundred fuck buddies to learn a lot about sex. There she goes looking for a perfect target for her first fuck buddy and then she nevertheless choose a guy who also doesn't have any experience like her. This is where the story starts rolling.

In this anime, we find the protagonist going through a lot just to have that first time but in her journey towards that ultimate goal, she learns a lot of things -- that sex is not what it is if it is not that with the right person. Although she climbed hills and mountains to have that first time, she gets to understand what love is and learn what love is all about.
I like this series in a way because it makes you laugh a lot. A good series to watch on those boring days. Really.

Gundam Seed - a nice spectacle!

Gundam Seed is the 3rd Gundam series that I watched and it was an unexpected delight although it has its own flaws but it was still a great watch. Shouldn't expect less for a Gundam series.
Gundam Seed is all about the same usual plot that we see with other Gundam series but very unique in its own way. This series is all about the protagonist, Kira, who is a pacifist but was eventually thrown into a war he was not willing to take part in and in which he plays a very big role. The series happens at a time where mankind is divided into two - the 'Naturals' (ordinary human beings) and the 'Coordinators' (human beings that are genetically altered to have unnatural abilities that make them stronger than most people). During this time, an unfortunate event caused a huge conflict between the two that resulted to an all-out war that would eventually mean the eradication of one or the other because either don't have any wish to co-exist with the other. In the middle of this huge war are two friends who are forced to fight each other for the things that they want to protect but could they ever find a way to escape this path that they are pushed into taking?
What I love about this Gundam series is the friendship that the two main characters share. Although the mobile suits are a bit lame compared to Gundam 00 but Freedom and Justice were amazing. The only downside that I see with this series is that it was dragged too much in its first 20+ episodes which I, obviously, don't appreciate but the 2nd half makes up for it especially the last 10 episodes which was really fast-paced.
I am looking forward to watching Gundam Seed Destiny ASAP if I ever have the time to watch it since I enjoyed watching Gundam Seed and I hope it won't be a disappointment.

Itazura na kiss - shojo cliche yet enjoyable!

Itazura no Kiss is one of the few shoujo anime that I have watched that has the stereotypical shoujo theme in it which, for the most part, I hate. Despite that, I , surprisingly, enjoyed watching it.
Itazura no Kiss is about this dumb girl, Kotoko, who has a huge crush on Irie who happens to be the number one in almost everything in school, heck, even the whole of Japan! Kotoko decided to confess her feelings to Irie by giving him a love letter only to be rejected right on the spot. Poor Kotoko... what should a girl at such a tender age do after this heartbreaking encounter with her first love? Give up or pursue endlessly on this one-sided love affair? Kotoko's life was about to change and how would she react when she finds out that she has to live under the same roof with the very guy who rejected her?!?! Is this torture or a blessing in disguise, maybe. Only a couple of episodes, and throw in some junk food on the table, would you be able to find out.
I enjoyed watching this anime because it has a lot of hilarious stuff in it but it wasn't too much for my taste. Although I do hate the protagonist but I admire her, in a way, because she doesn't give up that easily and I just don't wanna think about how dumb she is. Ultimately, I love Naoki Irie! Woohoo!!!!
If you are about to decide on watching a romantic comedy shoujo anime then this is one of the few that you have to watch and I tell you there are still a lot to choose from if you want this kind of anime. I'm gonna make reviews of those when I have the time.

MIND-BOGGLING KUROZUKA!!!!

              There's only one-word that best describes this anime --- MIND-BOGGLING! Dont'get the wrong idea because I love those kind of anime that makes my mind work its way around the story/plot. What I am trying to say is that this anime makes you think on a lot of things especially since it is not presented in its chronological order. It keeps going back and forth from the past, present, and, maybe, the future as well. I really don't know.

              This anime is actually a very twisted story about an immortal couple. At the beginning, we see Kuro,  who at a young age was given the task to lead his clan, with his disciple, Benkei. A lot of people are after Kuro's life which gives him no choice but to lead a life of constant vigilance. Some time when Kuro and Benkei were travelling at the mountains, they came by a shelter that was owned by a beautiful maiden named Kuromitsu. The inevitable attraction Kuro and Kuromitsu have for each other led them to their own demise or maybe not but this is certainly the start of a twisted life they lead from there on.

              What I really, REALLY love about this anime are the ACTION SCENES!!! They're one of the most amazing anime actions I have, by far, encountered in this freakish anime life that I lead but you do get what I mean right? So if you are up to some cool blood-gushing, blood-draining, "matrix-ey" action scenes then I will surely have to recommend KUROZUKA to you! I also love the story! It is not as simple as you think it may be and I just love it. I also know that there are a lot of people there that think otherwise but, well, this is my life so I don't give a damn what you say! PEACE! Well, just try watching it though! It only lasts for 12 episodes so it's not that long!

              ENJOY!

Reborn! -- A must-watch shonen anime!

Katekyoshi Hitman Reborn is an anime I enjoyed so much although the first few episodes got dragged a little but it’s great as the story develops.
This anime is about a scaredy-cat Tsunayoshi who was unexpectedly given the responsibility to become the next generation mafia leader and to get this cowardly boy to fix up his act – he was to be tutored by Reborn. This is full of hilarious scenes and a lot of them very stupid but this has got to be one of the few anime that made me laugh so much. Although I just mentioned about this anime being so damn funny but when the situation calls for it – it can, surprisingly, be utterly serious! Did I forget to add how jam-packed with cool action scenes this anime have? They really do! Why else would I even bother to watch it in the first place?!?
The art is pretty decent and I love Gyokudera! I love him but I love his cat more! LOL! One of the major things I totally love about this anime is its soundtrack! I love all the songs they have! I love Dive to World the most by Cherry Blossoms! I am sorry but I just have to mention that song!
As you can see, I enjoyed this anime and I bet that you will too!  

Action-packed Soul Eater!

            Soul Eater before anything else is an anime I haven't finished watching but don't fret I am actually just 4 episodes left and I don't wanna burst your bubble but I have been in this 4-episode-left state like more than half a year ago. Don't get me wrong. It is not because I didn't love the anime because I really loved it but my dvd got busted and I postpone it and postpone it and now I don't feel much excited to watch it especially since I'm more into reading manga instead.

            First of all, Soul Eater is an anime my boyfriend recommended me to watch and I enjoyed watching the first 3 episodes but at that time I was so busy I didn't have much time to do a marathon but when I did... I watched the whole first season non-stop. The story is about a school were students are taught how to fight the villains and it revolves around Maka and Soul. Maka is a famous student because of her parents' fame for being one of the best partners there is. Soul on the other hand, is a guy who turns into Maka's weapon. They both try to become the best. Thus, their journey starts as they get stronger along the way. They are often partnered with some students who became their friends as the story develops. These characters are Kid with his partners-- two sisters and Black
Star –partner Tsubaki. They get along well but some qualms do happen. The story actually gets deeper around the 15th episode.

            This anime is very unique and the art is just simple but the colors are kinda distracting sometimes because there is too much contrast that sometimes my eyes just hurt. The soundtrack is very cool and I loved it so much especially the second ending song! The first opening song is actually very catchy and upbeat that I also love listening to that one as well. The story is pretty well-developed and the fights scenes are so cool! I am actually trying to get myself to finish this anime. It's been a long time coming but I am gonna finish it! So if you do crave some anime full of action, this would be a good one for you!

           Before I end this review which I made a month ago... I just want to say that I've actually finished Soul Eater last week and Maka was so cool!!!! I love this action-packed anime so if you want some good action anime right now this is one good find!

an intense night of MAJOR!!

          It's been quite a while since the last time I watched an anime that could make me quiver this much! Quiver with excitement! I just had a MAJORathon last night of the anime's first 2 seasons.
          This anime is all about the life of Goro, a baseball prodigy. The main plot of this story is Goro's goal to become a professional baseball player and the whole series is all about his journey to reach it.
          The last time I watched a sports anime was One Outs (what do you know -- another baseball anime!) It's different than most sports anime in a way that this series basically revolves around the main character only. He jumps from one team to another as he grows older - from little league to middle school - to high school - to minor league and finally the major league - unlike Prince of Tennis,Slamdunk, Eyeshield 21 (where characters are given a chance in the limelight). Although this anime shows a lot of teamwork in it but basically its all about how Goro influences his teammates especially when they are faced with an adversity that his teammates think they couldn't overcome but Goro changes this and gives them confidence to turn the tables. I like this anime also because it is not too far from reality unlike Prince of Tennis and Eyeshield 21 where the anime exaggerates the scenes too much which is so impossible to happen in the real world (well, that basically is what anime is for - to make the impossible possible! LOL).

          This is such a cool anime and I just want you to know that I finished watching 47 episodes from 11pm until 8pm the next day (with 3 hours of sleep and an extra hour of break in between that). I recommend this to everyone! I loved it! I've heard about this anime years ago and I am just so glad that I gave some time to watch and now - I couldn't stop! That's how I love it!

Dance in the Vampire Bund - unexpectedly Cool so far... for another vampire anime that is!

              Dance in the Vampire Bund is all about vampires declaring their existence as truth all over the world and these creatures are led by their princess, Mina Tepes. Mina looks just like a little girl but under this sweet facade of hers is a cunning woman who is ready to crush down anything that gets in the way of her plans. Although she seems like a very brutal person, this girl actually has some deep feelings for Akira, a werewolf who swears his life to protect her. This is all about their story.

              Watching the first few episodes of Dance in the Vampire Bund was truly a very good thing. I've watched a handful of vampire-themed animes but it didn't really make such a big impact but watching the trailer of this anime reminded me of Code Geass that was the initial reason why I decided to watch this. I didn't regret it though since I think it would be a good anime so far and I'm expecting a lot because I just recently found out about how this was originally a manga but, in no time, it was turned into an anime and it takes a very good manga story to be turned into an anime so soon but I just hope that they won't just end it for like 25 episodes without ending the whole story because I've had enough of that crap and I don't want any more of that kind of thing to happen especially to a very good anime.

Got goosebumps with Gundam 00

        Gundam 00 is the only gundam series I have watched so far and I pretty much loved it. I tell you one fact about me and that would be - I seldom watch mecha anime and I just don't know why but I tell you what, this is one heck of a mecha anime and I know lots of you might have something to say about that but what can I do, it's only one of a very rare few mecha animes that I've watched.
        This series is about the world in AD 2307 where people are depending on solar energy and you can only get such from the 3 orbital elevators which are controlled by the 3 superpowers at that time. Wars and rebellions are constantly happening all over the world fighting for these orbital elevators but then a certain group stood up to declare war against the whole world. This group calls themself "Celestial Being" and are known to be using GUNDAMS that are powered by GN particles. This group is led by an elite few who drive these gundams. These guys are F. Seie, Lockon Stratos, Allelujah Haptism and Tiera Erde. These people would make the world even more chaotic than it already is for a peaceful world in the future.
        This anime is very good and I enjoyed watching it so much! If you crave for a mecha anime right now that has a good plot, good art and excellent characters - GUNDAM 00 is what I would recommend!

raving on forever about CODE GEASS!!!

          Code Geass will forever be at the top of my list but that is still refutable though. Well, I think it would stay there for quite a long time. Code Geass is known to all otakus in the whole world. I mean, who the hell calls him/herself an anime fan if he/she hasn't watched Code Geass? Come on coz if you honestly haven't? I tell you what! You really do have to watch this amazing anime and I totally recommend that you watch it because you would be missing half of your otaku life!

              Anyways, moving on. This anime is all about Lelouche, royal heir to the throne of the Brittania Empire which is trying to control the whole world but something inevitable happened that resulted to him running away from that path. At the beginning of the story, Lelouche seems to be someone who is bored with the life he leads and finds fun in gambling since he got all the brains to win just about anything. He may seem someone who really doesn't care but deep down something starts to stir up his true self to emerge. He unexpectedly finds himself trying to save a weird woman from the Britannia Empire only to be pulled into a world that would change his life tremendously. Oh, I forgot to mention that not just his life is about to change but the fate of the world as well! All the plotting and deceiving just makes you have these goosebumps the entire time watching it! Literally, you really just do! You can't stop watching it once you start and you end up craving to see what's going to happen next!

              I love the art of this anime so much especially since it came from CLAMP - the one responsible for Magic Knight Rayearth, X, Cardcaptor Sakura and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles... lots more. Well, as everyone knows the usual Li Syaoran happens to appear again in this anime but his name is now Suzaku but, NO, he is not the protagonist but he does play a very important role though so you better brace yourself. This happens to be one of the few mecha animes that I've watched and I loved the fight scenes so much. It is just so awesome! Hands down to everyone that made Code Geass! I just love you so much for bringing such an anime to the otaku world. Oh! I also love Jun Fukuyama (Lelouche's seiyuu, btw). He deserved all those seiyuu awards that he got for this role! I love him so much and his voice as Lelouche! I forgot to mention that the soundtrack of this anime is also superb! You know what? I think you do get the general idea how much I love this anime and I could go on forever raving about the things I love about this anime but it would be much better if you watch it! Well that is if you haven't watched it which I bet you already do! :-)    

Action-packed Sengoku BasaRa!

This anime focuses on the tuRblent times that happened in japan when diffeRent gRoups tRy to conqueR teRRitoRies to expand theiR contRol oveR the countRy.

TheRe aRe a lot of confusing things in this anime especially when it comes to the diffeRent histoRical chaRacteRs based on Japans histoRy that aRe involved because Im not familiaR with it but  oveRall it was a gReat watch! The anime was jam-packed with action although the action scenes weRe too much, if you ask me, but it doesnt change the fact that it was Really enjoyable. Im actally looking foRwaRd to its second season this yeaR!
