This anime, Magikano, has fascinating and awesome art style that differs it from other magic shows or anime. A witch named Ayumi Mamiya has been cursed to lose her powers, but like every curse there is a way to undo or break such a spell. For this particular predicament, there is but one boy who can break this spell and set her free from the curse cast upon her. This is where Haruo Yoshikawa comes in. He believes he's just an ordinary average guy, not even knowing the existence of magic and that he is actually protected by his three sisters who possess such magnificent powers. When their paths crossed, Ayumi must find a way to awaken Haruo's powers in order to save herself from the curse. Well goodluck for Ayumi. Magikano is produced with moments where the anime is flooded by sweetness and cuteness, but not enough to make one flow from its attempt at romance. Magikano is a fantasy-based series so low expectations should be expected. Still... watch this anime for it...

Well to tell the you the truth just for me the first episode is kinda boring but don't be fooled by it because the other sequence will leave you hanging so catch up on our main character as he venture and deal with his amity. Though there are times where in the pacing of anime is slow and dead silence takes over we were pleased by the progsession of the story line and how you will be able to get to know each character and their r...

princess mononoke is one of the products of Hayao Miyazaki that was animated by Studio Ghibli. The animation plays along the line of being a fantasy-animated sort of movie that may look like a legend. Princess Mononoke or Mononoke Hime  was first released in Japan on July 12, 1997, and in the United States on October 29, 1999. It was the first Studio Ghibli film to be a major hit outside of Japan and began Ghibli's worldwide attention. ( google << ) This animation is by far one of my favorites. who would not like anything made by Hayao Miyazaki right? first i would like to point about this anime is the setting itself, Mr Miyazaki has his own style of artistry. he doesn't follow the usual loli-goth-big eyed anime that we come to love. But even though the graphics and the drawing is a bit too old to look at for new viewers, it is worth the time to finish this movie. what i am really amazed about this anime is that the characters are very well thought,no character ...
