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!
