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! :-)
