This anime directed by Osamu Kobayashi inflicts the drama of first love that wraps in every situations. Yukari is a normal high school student who has typical life of listening to her parents and going to school everyday. One day, she began to question her way of life and then she meets a group of fashion design students who has a clothing called "Paradise Kiss". This group is searching for a model who will proudly present their design in an upcoming fashion show. Yukari was picked to be their model however she does not want to be associated with this group. As the story goes Yukari realized the people in the fashion group are nice and she was inspired with their passion and being enthusiast in fashion and in following their dreams. It made her think that she wasn't enjoying her life so she was motivated to pursue her dream herself. I like the series' story line because it teaches us to become how to pursue our dreams.

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

The only thing that is not normal in this school is their student council. We all know that the student council are in-charged in events and making the school a well-systematized school right?

This anime series begins with telling a story of a war between the people of Earth and the people of the Moon.

Kingdom of Sphere's princess, Feerna Fam Earthlight comes to Earth in a home stayed with Sayaka Hozumi, the primary secretary of the president of United States. I think this anime series is like a little version of Princess Kaguya a japanese tale it's just in more civilized world. There are a lot of funny scenes need to watch in this anime fiction and where you will seriously laugh hard and feel the warm that will touch your heart. Comedy and Romance is focused in this anime Yoake Mae Yori Ruriiro na. I strongly recommend this

But can Brandon Heat point same gun at the person he once was his bestfriend? This anime is a 26 episode anime with crimes, sci-fi,actions and drama. 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

Samurai Deeper Kyo has a really good plot to start with. During the first parts of the first episode, it managed to get my attention and made me watch more of its episode. Initially, The first episode doesn't contain much of an action for me. What actually took my interest is the way they presented the story. The plot of this anime has its ups and downs. First the plot is really interesting and there are twist t

The story progress while mojacko and donmo lives together with Sorao and take part in his day to day life.

The artistry in this animation is not that great but its actually fine since the main target for this anime are children. but this didn't stop anime lovers with higher ages to appreciate this anime. The Plot of this anime at start seems like Doraemon or a comical skit type of anime but there are twist that made it stand out. there are times when this anime seems dull but eventually they turn it around and bring

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
