Review on Kuragehime



This anime is a 12-episode anime produced by FUNimation Entertainment, Brains Base, Asmik Ace Entertainment. Kuragehime's storyline revolves around the daily life of Kurashita Tsukimi, a girl who loves jellyfish, living together with her geek friends at Amamizukan apartment complex wherein no boys are allowed.



This anime's characters are kind who show their beauty not with their good looks but with what they really are, and how they love the way they look and become true to what they really love. The story lines are pretty cool for this anime going out in different directions and a t once point keep intersecting with one another. Kuragehime's characters are rather unique from the typical anime style drawing that we are used to some example are the afro-styled girl in the apartment. Kuragehime's characters, and the awesome storym and the simple but pretty art and the enticing music come together and create an anime that stands out among others of its kind.



So that's how it is, for this anime with its plot from an apartment filled with girls only no wonder some scenes here are into girl to girl ecchi shows. Viewers would love to see those scenes especially for boys.

Overall score is 8/10:

Review on Morita-san wa Mukuchi


This lovely anime series is basically about a girl named Mayu: a shy and quiet high school student who always takes so long considering what she is going to say and in the end, she ends up saying nothing at all. I mean seriously why do some people tend to do this. Take for instance that there is a certain situation between her and another character and after the other person has spoken, it takes her for a while, the moment is already gone.



Morita-san wa Mukuchi is just as amusing and as head-tilting as it is. It may only interest a handful of people considering how some do not find a quite animated series as something so much entertaining. Regardless of how it may sound pointless, it offers what most anime do not have: finding the deeper sense or meaning of each scene. It has its down times, but it definitely offers as much humor as possible.



This anime may look boring for some but as you go with the storyline you will eventually understand and still go for another look with the episodes. Though almost episodes contains glittering things it doesn't take away how cool this anime it.

Overall score is 8/10:

Review on Meganebu!


Meganebu is an anime full of colorful things making it to stand out. It is indeed a great anime to watch. The show is about a group of guys wearing glass of course in a glasses club. This club is very passionate about glasses and is awfully striving to create a genuine pair of x-ray glasses. The things they do don’t sound that exciting when described, but the animation style and the timing of everything really makes this show stand out.

You guys really have to see this show to fully experience it. The trailer does not do it justice at all. I haven’t seen a show quite like this in a long time. It’s incredibly unique and highly stylized. I can’t remember the last time I laughed so much during an anime. I really like all the transitions and visual representations that occur during the show. I’m not really sure where the story is going to go here, but it’s so funny that I don’t really care.

People who like glasses and the hilarious antics of those who wear them. This anime show is hilarious and fantastic. I recommend these anime for you guys for this anime is something we should be watching(I believe.)

Review on Ro-Kyu-Bu!



Ro-Kyu-Bu! is purely an sports anime, but as opposed to male characters as the main ones. This anime is actually has heroines instead. As luck would have it, Hasegawa Subaru finds the Basketball club he joined suspended due to their leader falling for the eleven year old daughter of the coach. His aunt then offers him to coach a Basketball club composed of elementary school girls which he is reluctant to teach at first, but later on grows to even be passionate about it as he devotes his time into teaching them, all the while knowing how the situation is so complex for them.



Ro-Kyu-Bu! is composed of such cute, funny and so adorable female leads. Ofcourse as what anime viewers should expect on this kind of anime. Guys may like it for not only the main sports is basketball but also due to the ecchi scenes it brings, but that does not automatically mean that girls cant watch this anime. So I can say every gender must enjoy the show and find yourself laughing along with characters in the series.



Overall score is 8/10: Good for anime starters who like sports.

Review on Baccano!



This anime series has its own way of presenting itself to its audience. We were presented with small events such as witnessing the legendary journey of the transcontinental train, Flying Pussyfoot in Chicago, the search for the missing bottles which will be used for the immortal elixir by an ambitious scientist Szilard and his right-hand Ennis in New York, the alchemists who boarded the Advena Avis and knew about the price of gaining immortality and the war which is getting worse between the mafia groups.




Though the first episodes may seem blurry for the whole story but still this are the keys in completing the amusing storyline of this series. Baccano! is based on the award winning light novels which bears the same name. This will focus more on the supernatural events from alchemy and any other things, immortality and on how to survive from all of the inter connected events which will happen as one coincide with the other as series goes on.



Filled with black graphics and more, this anime is very interesting and suits for anime lovers who like action packed with alchemistry.

Overall score is 8/10:

Review Nurirahyon no Mago: Sennen Makyou



A bunch of supernatural or demon-themed series has been popping out one after the other since the beginning, and many are so interested with that specific genre since it goes beyond the boundaries or normality, or basically routine. As humans, living everyday without much excitement or chance that in the sense it will get dull, people end up being attracted to these type of titles.



Nurrihyon no Mago: Sennen Makyou is about a supposed average middle schooler named Nura Rikuo, who is in fact the grandson of the master of a youkai clan. When an enemy of their clan soon shows up, he has no choice but to awaken the demon blood and power hidden in his blood.







I like this anime in the sense everything is all about the said genre no associated things just perfect as it is. It is an enjoyable show for those who prefer something that breaks the borders or normalcy. So viewers who like demon-themed anime should definitely watch this.


Overall score is 8/10: This anime series is good to watch.

Review on Katanagatari


For me adventure-themed anime is always entertaining but some actions leads to boring episodes and even worse, bad artwork of the characters development. However, in the case of Katanagatari, it has a feeling of drawing the attention of the viewers as if they were playing an RPG game viewing as the third person.



The main protagonist is the seventh successor of the Kyoto Ryu, or bladeless, Yasuri Shichika. He's living in a peaceful island with Nanami, his sister. When he was suddenly visited by a mysterious girl named Togame. This fateful encounter soon led to him being asked by the new arrival to help her in locating the final twelve swords that were forged by Shizaki Kiki, the legendary master swordsmith. However, as in most journeys, it is never easy to obtain what one seeks, and is this case, they have to face 12 people who each possess and protect these swords.



Katanagatari's graphics may be little bit childish but still its popularity hits most of the anime associated with games. But it has far better characterization than most of other anime.


Overall score is 7/10: It is good for viewers who are like RPG games.

Lupin III Review



Lupin III or Lupin the 3rd is a japanese anime adaptation to the successful manga created and illustrated by monkey punch. The story revolves around Lupin III and his gang. Lupin is the grandson of the famous Thief Arsene Lupin. This manga / anime is one of the most successful manga./ animation ever created. The animation alone consist of different Series and all of them consist of at least 10 episodes. The plot of this anime revolves around the adventure of Lupin, and base on his job. almost all episodes of this animation shows lupin's Heists, Tricks, and ways on stealing the things he likes. Before stealing something, Lupin always sends a calling card to the owner of the item that they will steal. Lupin's crew consist of a talented swordsman, a master Marksmanship and a Beautiful Lady. The series usually shows lupin's works and his confrontation with the man who always chase him.  Inspector Koichi Zenigata of the ICPO.


Lupin the third is one of my most favorite adaptations of all time. This anime just have all of the ingredients of being one of the best. The plot of this anime is not that special. More like repetitive and sometimes dull but you just cant get enough of this anime. The story also throws in Puns and Humor that will ease the boredom. The artistry and the way they draw the anime is not that special as well, but they manage to give each character a very steady characteristic that doesn't shadow the other characters. Basing on the plot of this anime, considerable effort and idea are put into work since it is not easy to formulate stories and plots about a thief stealing things. it requires great focus in researching what will be the best possible plot they can throw in. If you watch all of the episodes from all of the Series, you can say that this work of art is not a half ass job.

I'll rate this 10/10 (yep im biased since this is one of my favorites)

Rave Master Review


Rave Master or The Groove Adventure rave is an anime adaptation to the manga created by Hiro Mashima. This Anime Adaptation has a total of 51 Episode who tells the story of a Boy named Haru Glory who is on a quest to find 5 powerful stones called Rave stones. These magical stones combined with a legendary sword called the DecaForce Sword which is Wielded by Rave Masters have the power to Defeat the Demon card Organization and The Dark Brings itself. Since Haru accepted his faith being the new rave master, he will be in a journey with his friends to find the stones and restore peace in the world.


This animation is probably one of my favorites when i was still a kid. The adaptation is actually not that suitable for kids, but there are some parts of it that is really interesting for me. ( well i guess when i was a kid i already think like an adult ). This animation started with a bang they manage to throw a very good entrance by giving the audience a good story from the onset. The plot of this anime is really easy to follow, but as simple as it may be,.there are twists and turns that will make you more interested. One thing i find good about this anime, is the adventure and journey they have. Meeting people along the way and making friends from enemies is really good. There are times when this anime is a bit confusing and misleading. Because of the adventure type of setting they have, it is not unusual that they add more characters as the anime progresses. Which i really like because i initially thought that the characters that will be added will just be a wall flower. but i was never been so wrong. the characters in this animation are finely made with each distinct behavior which i really commend. This adaptation is a must to watch if you are looking for an old school type of shonen anime.

I'll Rate this anime 8/10  parts of the story are a bit long and boring.

Petshop of Horrors Review



Petshop of Horrors is an anime adaptation to the horror themed manga made by Matsuri Akino. The story stages at ChinaTown located in Los Angeles California. In this area a very peculiar petshop is found owned by a mysterious individual named Count D. The pets being sold in this petshop are bizarre creature that somewhat similar to humans or a humanoid. Count D  Sells these "pets" along with a contract which usually differ by the type of pet his customer orders. The most important among the 3 points in the contract is to avoid Showing the  "Pet" To someone other than the buyer it self.  The series has a total of 4 episodes. Each episode is a stand alone episode that contains a new story and new pet that was bought. The main characters are the same through out the series but there are new characters added just like the clients.



This anime is really short but super interesting. For me i cant really consider this anime as a horror anime since im looking at this as a sci/fi fantasy type of anime ( just my opinion ). At the onset of the series they throw in a really big surprise. Even if the animation is a bit dull and old, the story otherwise is rich in ideas. i believe that the horror side of this story, are the humanoid being sold by Count D. Even if the episodes of this anime differs from the other, it is really worth the watch.

I'll rate this anime 9/10   4 episodes? Really? I Want More!!!

Review on Paradise Kiss



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 has contents that gives messages to their viewers. It also teaches us that dreams are essential so that we can have a reason to live. But one thing I like is that this anime does not just teach us how important to live a normal but to live.


Overall score is 9/10:

Review on Magikano



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 its unique way of expressing the characters' attitudes.

Overall score 7/10:

Review on Happiness!



This anime is a magical, romance-comedy anime mixed with school-life genre which first appeared on October to December 2006. Having rescued and inspired by a boy who uses magic when she was still a child, Kamizaka Haruhi has taken it upon to becoming a mage(girl with magical powers) herself. The best method which can make her dream come true is to enroll in a school which offers courses that she needs anything and everything that is related to magic. Here's the conflict, the school may specialized in educating magic users, but it also accommodates normal students, thus dividing the institution into two general community.



Now the main character here meets a bunch of friends and strange students. But along with this Haruhi has got her eye on Kohinata Yuuma, the guy who openly states his hatred for magic. Yuuma seems to resemble Haruhi's memory of the boy who saved her once, but one thing different is Yuuma is unskilled in magics.



This anime produced by Artland was surely a big hit when this was still airing. Im telling you that you should watch this anime for this series has something in it. It is for you guys to found out. Happiness!, with twelve-episode series has a fun-loving nature seasoned with sweet moments and highly amusing magics and spells.

Overall score is 7/10:

Review on Love Love?



This anime does make getting even hilarious. Ikita Mitsuki is the producer of the popular television series for kids is supposedly the only person knows about Ooizumi Naoto's secret occupation as the show's scriptwriter. But when the big rumors somehow gets found out by the show's staff and even the actresses themselves , Naoto's peaceful writing days are sure to be over.



Now that the female lead character know who can call the shots, they have quite the number of tricks just so they can get more screen time and better roles. Each girl is outfitted with their own style of seduction(hell yeah) and everyday is a new opportunity for them to get into Naoto's good books. However, when he discovered the conspiracy, he is bound to get even with each one. The only wrong that is stopping him is his own feelings towards one of the female casts.



I'm surely sure that this anime will hit the taste of mostly guy anime lovers. They can relate to the main protagonist. Though it contains ecchi scenes this anime is good to watch by many so check this anime out and tell whether it is good or not. That is for you to decide.

Overall score is 8/10:

Review on Seitokai no Ichizon



Now how about a little bit of harem anime? Hekiyou Gakuen is like any normal school we see in some anime boys and girl in a general education preparing them for the future. 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? But in this anime the student council where not chosen by votes like what other school anime have. The student council here are chosen by means of popularity. Due to such system, all members of the council are cute girls except for Ken Sugisaki who is the top-scoring student of his year.






It seems the running system is really very suspicious isn't it? Well, the only reason Ken studied so hard and became the top-scoring student is to create is very own harem. The only bad thing is he can never get his harem for he is always get bullied more that he deserves by the other members of the student council.



This anime contains very funny scenes that would likely make you ROFL Yes, just like I said this anime will you laugh the hell out of you. The characters are uniquely made up with their crazy attitudes.

Overall score is 8/10:

Review on Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na



This anime series begins with telling a story of a war between the people of Earth and the people of the Moon. After the war, no alliance was formed, no emotion of hatred remained for both sides had a scar that can never be healed and everything was left to be just a memory. Years had passed and the Earth and the Moon's conflict is temporarily at ease. Wanting to know more about the Earth and restore the peaceful relationship of both worlds. 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 anime for those lovers who in fond of comedy and romance genred animes.

Overall score 8/10:

Review on Gungrave



In an unknown city, organized crime and Orgmen have flooded the land. With nowhere to escape and no one else to go to, a young girl named Mika commits herself to the revival of a great sweeper, Brandon Heat, now obtaining the alias "Beyond the Grave". With the entire city under the hands of Harry MacDowel, Beyond the Grave must put an end to the tyranny of Harry and his Organization. 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 roles in the story. Even the minor characters gets a wimp in their life in this anime. I would highly recommend this action anime for fans out there to put into watch.

Overall score 7/10:

Inuyasha Review


Inuyasha is an anime adaptation to the manga created and illustrated by Rumiko Takahashi. Inuyasha is a series about Kagome, a high school girl who lives in the grounds of a shrine that their family is taking care of. One day when Kagome was looking for her cat, She went inside the well house and was dragged down into the well by a demon with the form of a Centipede. Kagome found herself in danger since the Demon mistaken her for the Priestess who protects the Shikon Jewel ( A jewel possessing very powerful magic ). since she really looked like kagome. While in danger, Kagome met and released Inuyasha, A half demon who is sealed on a Tree with a magical arrow Through his Body.  Inuyasha defeated the Demon with ease but shattered the Jewel across japan. Inuyasha together with Kagome the reincarnation of The Jewel Priestess Kikyo started their quest to collect all the Shattered parts of the Jewel to avoid it to fall into the hands of Demons or Humans who will use it for Evil.


I really had a hard time balancing this anime between liking it or hating it. The plot of this series is amazing in the sense that it is strong enough to stand as a shonen fighting anime. There are elements that seemed to make it a good anime but at some point there are some elements that breaks this animation. First lets go with the Positive element. What i like about inuyasha is the historic / Legend style of Drawing since the setting is set off an era long ago. The characters also amazed me since inuyasha differed from other main characters from a fighting anime that is usually overpowered. But inuyasha has his own strength and weaknesses which is great. The animation and artistry is also good mixing Humans, Beast, and demons into one context is a huge plus in this type of anime. What i really don't like about inuyasha is the repetition of plots and fighting scenes that made it a bit terrible.

Overall i'll rate this anime 8/10

Hikaru No Go Review

Hikaru no Go is an animation to the manga series authored by  Yumi Hotta, the animation is all about a boy named Hikaru and the game Go ( Encircling Game ). Hikaru stumbles across an old board game owned by his Grandfather. Hikaru later known that the Go board is haunted by a Go player's spirit named Sai. Sai is a ghost from the Heian era who haunts the board because he wasn't able to achieve his greatest desire as a Go player, and that is to attain the Divine Move or the Perfect Move. At the start of series, Hikaru is not really into playing go until Sai asked him to try it out. Now Hikaru plays along side Sai who gives him instruction on the moves that he will use. As the story progresses, Hikaru is constantly learning how to play by himself. This anime Revolves around the life and matches of Hikaru Together with Sai to attain their Greatest Desire.



This anime is one of those rare types of anime where the main characters are not basing on strength or power. this animation proves that there are more than physical strength and those are tactics and power of the mind. this series could pass as a shonen / battle manga in a different perspective. The story is really helpful in promoting the game called Go. even if I don't really understand what the game is all about, or how the game is played. i always enjoy every time they are in a tournament of Go. This anime doesn't have much of an impact to make viewers watch it since the first episode is not that strong. but as i watch more of the episodes, i started to follow and appreciate what this anime brings. The characters and plot are really something. even though most of the time the spotlight always shine on hikaru and Sai and the other main characters, they still have manage to make the other characters grow in their own way. This is an anime to watch for those who wanted more mind games and board games. The only Flaw i can see in this anime is that there are times when the story seems to be unrelated to the previous episode and that tends to confuse others.

I'll rate this anime 8/10

Samurai Deeper Kyo Review


Samurai Deeper Kyo is an anime adaptation to the manga created by  Akimine Kamijyo. The Series sets way back the Edo period so more like a history type of animation. Samurai Deeper Kyo revolves around the adventures of a feared samura known as Demon eyes Kyo.  Kyo is on a quest to regain his body after his soul was sealed in the body of his rival, Mibu Kyoshiro. Kyo travels around the land to find and retrieve his body. Together with his friends they will fight the organization "MIBU" who makes dolls that they control to do battles for their amusement.



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 that are really helpful with the success of this anime. what i don't like is that the story seemed a bit pushy and fast. There are ideas that needed more explanation which makes follower a bit confused. For the characters, i really liked how they present the characters one at a time. This gives an edge for them since followers will want to anticipate the flow of the story. The artistry of this anime is not that great to. but considering the setting for the series it can be forgiven. But overall this anime is good to watch.

I'll rate this anime an 8/10... needs more improvement story-wise
