Btoom!

The only thing I can say about this anime is," Holy Crap, this story is crazy!" Its about people playing a well known online game named Btoom and the main character, Sakamoto, is one of the best players on the game. The game itself is simple.All you have to do is destroy your enemy with the different type of bombs that they give you. Why they only get to use bombs I really don't know.

Anyway, Sakamoto may be a pretty cool guy in the virtual world, but in reality he's a bit of an self'-centered jerk. He has no job, no social life of any kind besides virtual and lives off of his parents. His parents have had enough of him, but it looks like they don't know what to do with him, especially, the mom. She looks like she might drop and die any second now and you can tell that she's deeply depressed, not that her son cares or anything.

One day, he wakes up hanging from a tree in a parachute with no memory of how he got there. Before, he can find any clue to what is going on some guy comes out of nowhere and starts throwing bombs at him. Later, he discovers that someone has made a real version of the game Btoom on a deserted island and the only way that your going to get off is if you kill eight other players and steal their chips that were planted on their on hands. But, he decides that he doesn't want to kill anyone unless completely necessary which in my opinion is the whole time he's on the island.

You come to find many different types of people on the island. Some old, some young, girls, boys, people that don't really deserve to be there. They're some that do and some that are just completely twisted in the head. Those twisted people are the real obstacles to his goal. They're mean, cruel, tough and some are as good Sakamoto when he was playing the game. This is a place where you have to be on your guard at all times even when your with your allies because you never know they just might betray you when an opportunity presents itself.

I think theirs a lot more to the story and I think Sakamoto a big part of it, he just doesn't know how big. I do wonder who's behind this and why this gaming company is doing all of this. My theory on the whole thing is that the gaming company that created this whole cruel event made it to get data from the reactions and strategies that the real live players made from it, so they can use it to make future games that they make better and more realistic. But, their is one thing I keep thinking about. Won't the cops be looking for these people once they go missing? I barely doubt they'll miss the fact that a huge group of people suddenly just popped out of existence.

This story is insane, disturbing, graphic and very gory. If your into that kind of manga then this is the story for you. I have to warn you though if your not into rape and torture then please don't pay any attention to this because some of the images shown will most likely stay in your brain forever. Also, I'm not really sure about the relationship between Himiko and Sakamoto because it looks to me that Sakamoto had a virtual romance a long time ago and really wanted to meet that person, but the only clues he had about her was her name and that she was a player on Btoom.

He thought the Himiko he found and allied himself with is the same girl, but she says she's not. I think she's lying though because she doesn't trust men. I think that later in the story she's going to reveal she is the same girl. During, their time together you can tell that their both kick ass in this event, she was really holding her own before he even came along. So, you know that they would be okay if they ended up separated, I just worry about her because she's a girl and all. They're a lot of crazy and desperate men on the island and I would hate to see her become one of their victims.

The manga is still ongoing, so what is going to happen at the end has not been revealed yet. I bet its going to be epic though. Enjoy this mind blowing adventure.

Akame ga Kiru

This manga is about a group of travelers mainly a swordsman named Tatsumi who left their village in hopes that they can make enough money in the capital to save their village. But, some unexpected and messed up things to his group which led them to becoming separated.Leaving Tatsumi to travel alone to the capital in hopes that he'll meet them there. When he arrives some strange and cruel things happened to him during his stay in the capital. For example, he meets a sexy thief named Leon who convinces him that she had connections in the military and with enough money could convince that person to help the naive Tatsumi get in. It wasn't until hours later, after he gave her the money that he realized that he's been robbed.

If you don't think that's bad enough, later he finds out that not only did his close friends make it to the capital. But, they've been tortured and killed by some of the cruel people that live in the capital. If the Night Raid hadn't arrived and killed them, he probably would have suffered the same fate. Tatsumi survived the close encounter with death and reluctantly joined the Night Raid.

The Night Raid is a group of assassins who take requests from the public that ask them to kill someone. They do it in hopes that their dark and cruel world will change little by little, but their ulimate goal is killing the prime minister. The prime minister is the main evil mastermind behind everything disturbing in this show. Everything that they have to destroy was caused by the prime minister one way or the other. If you trace the problem I bet you, you'll find that he had a hand in it. If that wasn't enough, the guy has his claws in the emperor. The emperor is just a kid and doesn't seem to know any better, so I can't really blame him for not knowing what's going on in his own country. But, I bet if he was a little older, he wouldn't be that easily blind sided.

Anway, the Night Raid seems to be made up of mostly women. The only guys are Tatsumi, Rabac and Braht. The other people that make up the group are Leone, Mein, Akame, Schere and Najenda. Najenda is the serious and clever leader of the Night Raiders. Schere is one of the assassins, she really quiet and keeps to herself but whenever she talks its blunt and honest. The one thing I couldn't get was why she said sorry to everyone she killed maybe she felt a little sorry for them or it was her way of being weird who knows. Schere's weapon is a huge pair of scissors.

Leone is the sexy thief/assassin who recruited Tatsumi. She can take beast form and tear her victims apart limb by limb. She also seems to like teasing poor unsuspecting Tatsumi. Mein, on the other hand, didn't like him the moment she saw him. But, after being forced to work with each other, she started to warm up to him. She's so full of herself and thinks that she's a genius and even though, she's starting to like him now they still fight. Eventually, I think she'll start to like him more than a friend or co-worker, but she looks like one of those types that wont admit it till the end. Her weapon of choice is a big sniper gun she named pumpkin.

Last but not least, their is Akame who I think is the most bad ass girl in the entire group. She was raised in the wild and trained to be an assassin in an early age by the empire. So, she already knew how to fight and kill people really young. She's really quiet but you can tell that she cares about her group because she practically freaks out, whenever, she finds out that one of her comrades is injured. I think that she's going to become another love interest in this story. Her weapon of choice is a curse sword that kills you instantly if you gain a single cut or scratch from it.

Night is full of unique and strange people and the people they end up fighting are even stranger. I wonder if Tatsumi will get his own special weapon as the story continues. Also, I think this manga is still ongoing so it isn't complete yet. The story so far is filled with gore, fighting, cool abilities, romance and conspiracy. I can't wait to see who'll they fight next and see if they ever kill the prime minister.

Vampire Knight

The dark and mysterious anime that is Vampire Knight is revolved mostly around Yuuki and Zero. Yuuki is a girl who was adopted by the dean of Cross Academy after she was almost eaten by a vampire. She was saved by the handsome Kaname, who later becomes the president of the moon dorm and the king of all vampires. Later, when she got old enough she also enrolled into Cross Academy.

Zero was also adopted by the dean after vampires killed is family when he was a little boy. After, the incident he had a great hatred for vampires which is why I don't really get why he enrolled in a school that taught vampires. But, I think it was so he could keep an eye on them. He does come from a vampire hunting family which explains why vampires came after him and his family. But, I think another reason why he stuck around so much was because he had a crush on Yuuki.

Cross Academy is an elite school that teaches humans and vampires. Other than the dean, Yuuki and Zero no other human student in the school knows that the night students that they worship so much are really vampires. Yuuki and Zero are the guardians of the school, basically, their the school police and its their job to make sure that none of the vampires do anything that they'll regret later.

Here's the problem though, things get bit complicated between the two when Zero finds out that Yuuki has a deep crush on Kaname and that the seal keeping his vampire side at bay is starting to wear off. He had the seal put him to stop him from becoming a level E vampire after he was attacked by the vampire that killed his parents. Elites and Level E vampires are very different from each other. A level E vampire is a crazy recently turned vampire that can't control its thirst for blood, so they end up attacking anyone they come across. Obviously, elite vampires are the nobles of the vampire race and are extremely powerful some even have awesome magical powers. Kaname seems to be royalty among them since he's the only pure blood around.

In the beginning of this show you can tell that Kaname and Yuuki like each other much to Zero's dismay. Zero may never admit to her, but seeing them together was tearing him up inside. Zero's role in this show was being the loyal partner and friend, but also bad boy love rival. As time went by I kept thinking that Kaname seemed to know something that the others didn't. Almost at the end, the shocking truth was revealed.

Spoiler Alert: Kaname is a pure blood vampire that was transformed to a human because of a spell that her mother casted on her. Also, she's Kaname's sister.

Vampire Knight is complete when it comes to the anime and the manga. Its filled with action, romance, betrayal, mystery, darkness, drama and vampires. I guarantee you'll won't be able to keep your eyes away from it. You'll be dying to know who ends up with who and how this all ends.

Sensei no Bulge

This violent fantasy anime is about a poor boy named Astro who lives in slums with a bunch of orphaned kids that he takes care of. To the kids he's like their big brother and is the only one who can get a job and keep food on the table for all of them, but its that's not very easy when no one wants to give you a job.

On his planet, anywhere else outside the capital city where Astro lives is nothing, but chaos and destruction ever since the aliens came to their planet.Not all aliens are bad in this story, but most are and will do anything to get what they want and what they want is the org. The org is a powerful relic used by the king that has the power to rule over an entire planet. That's why not everything on the planet as gone to hell, especially, the capital city where the king lives.

Anway, with everyone trying to get into the city no one can get picking with whatever job they get. But, Astro doesn't seem to get that because he keeps doing things that get him fired. Before, he gets a chance to tell the horrible news to 'his kids' another him shows up. This guy could be Astro's long lost brother and this mysterious twin is the prince. He says that he no longer wants to be the prince nor does he want to become king, so he suggests to Astro to take his place.

Of course, Astro refuses to take his place, but its forced on him when the double places the relic org on his wrist. Now here's the messed up part, before he could give it back to him, the prince gets assassinated. Then, poor Astro is taken away from his family with everyone thinking that he's the prince and it doesn't help his case much either when the sacred org starts obeying him, proving to everyone that he's the rightful heir to the throne. The king sends Astro on a journey for him to save and unite the world piece by piece along with the king's right hand man.

This anime is filled with magic, violence, aliens, friendship and friendship. Its also filled with a lot of mystery and lots of unexpected twists and turns. Sensei no Bulge is something I suggest everyone should read.

Blood C

Blood C is one epic anime. Its based off from the earlier series Blood Plus. After, watching Blood C and Blood Plus you can really see the similarities and the differences in both animes. For example, both of the main characters are girls and are both named Saya. Both Saya's are inhuman and fight monsters with a sword and have memory problems.

Now, this is where things get a little different for one the Saya in Blood C is no wimp. What I mean by that is that all through the show, she's kicked butt without hesitation. The only time she's ever hesitated in battle is when people or her friends become shields for the monsters. Also, the monsters are called Elfen Brians and take in different forms, but they still eat and drink human blood like in Blood Plus.

In the story in Blood C revolves around a girl named Saya, who is a clumsy, happy go lucky shrine maiden that lives with her father.According, to the story she died while fighting one of the monsters.Even so, she seems to like her life and she even goes to school and enjoys a normal by day and fights the Elfen Brians by night.But, as time went by weird stuff started happening even weirder than a high school girl slaying monsters at night. But, my favorite episode would have to be the last one when everything was revealed and some epic killing takes place.

When you watch this you'll start thinking up your own theories about what is going on in this show. When you see the ending your either going to be saying "Oh snap!" or "I knew it!" or even both. Your just going to have to watch it for yourself. Trust me, on this when I say if you like Blood Plus then your going to love Blood C.

Virgin Blood

        This manga is brand spanking new and only one chapter has come out so far. So, I won't be able to talk a lot about what goes on in this story, but I can at least tell you what its mainly about.Its about a normal high school girl named Mimiko.When I mean normal, I mean she's totally normal. She's not a he in disguise, doesn't have any super powers, a secret past none of that just a normal girl living in a cafe that looks like a million dollar mansion with a group of hot guys that are always at her beck and call, that's all.

         Also, just because I mention she has a group of hot guys serving her day and night doesn't mean that she's royalty or a rich girl from a wealthy family or anything like that. But, it does make you wonder. What's going to make you even wonder even more is the relationship between her and her father, who doesn't even look like a day over 19. Seriously, this guy is smoking hot and so young looking that you wonder what he's using, you just can't believe that this is her dad. Well, he's not actually.

          Mimiko's parents died when she was really young and later he came and adopted her. He and the rest of the staff treat her just like a princess and she gets everything that she wants, but doesn't gain that snobby personality that most rich people get. As she gets older, Mimiko's feelings for her dad start to change. She's getting confused at what kind of love she feels for her father now. He's her dad, but not her real dad. He's way older than her, but looks like he can pass for any other teenage boy. You see where I'm going with this and in the beginning your going to get a little confused yourself, but it'll make sense later on.

         Now, your probably thinking that's the whole story, right? Well, you'd be wrong about that. Later, it reveals a certain supernatural flare to this unusual love story. Turns out, he dad is a vampire! I bet the rest of the handsome staff are vampires, too. This starts to make you think,' why would a vampire adopt and raise an orphaned child?' If you know vampires like I do then the answer is simple, but if you want to confirm your suspicion with your own eyes then I suggest giving Virgin Blood a glance. Be warned only one chapter is out now and it ends with a serious cliffie that'll make you scream. So, if you don't like awesome cliffies with no recent updates to the story then I suggest you wait a while before giving this story a turn. For the ones who do go read it write after reading this then I hope you enjoy this supernatural romance story.

Save me! Lollipop

This magical anime is about a clumsy girl named Nina who accidentally swallows the Crystal Pearl thinking it was a piece of candy. The Crystal Pearl is part of another world's test for sorcerers trying to graduate. The test is that whoever can find, get and keep the pearl to themselves till Christmas passes the test and they'll do anything they can to get the pearl.So, now that she has the Crystal Pearl inside of her all of the sorcerers will come after her.

Your probably thinking she's screwed, right? Wrong. When the first wave of examinees comes her way, her heroes Zero and Ichii come to her rescue.They both say that they will protect her till they can get the pearl out. Also, the only way for her to get it out of her system is for her to drink a potion that's designed to do just that. But, Zero and Ichii's master says that the potion won't be ready till Christmas, so they have to protect her from the others till that time. Now, every one's thinking why are they doing this? Why haven't they killed her and tried to gut her like a fish, so they can get the pearl without going to hell and back to protect her? For these two boys, the answers were simple. First, they are good guys and didn't feel right killing a human girl for their own selfish needs.Secondly, they thought that it would be a lot easier to protect the girl than trying to keep watch on the pearl itself.

Now, that Nina is stuck with these two her life as she knew it was gone. It isn't enough that the boys frustrate her to no end especially Zero. Nina and Zero get into it so many times in this anime that its ridiculous and cute. I think they would make a wonderful couple they just have to get past all of the yelling, screaming and constant fighting.But, I think that her feelings are a bit on the fickle side because if one guy even gives her the tinest bit of kindness, she thinks that she's in love with that person. Oh, well at least we will get to see Zero blow up with jealousy.

You can already tell that these three are going to go through a lot. The most they have to worry about are their other competitors. Also, I forgot to mention that they have to take the test in pairs of two which explains why she has two protectors instead of one.Anyway, the people that come their way are very unique in their own way. My favorite enemy pair so far would have to be San and Forte. San is this lolita girl who likes teasing her partner Forte and likes getting her way when it comes to things that she wants like sweets. Forte is San's foreign partner and is forced to bend to San's will whenever she wants something and her dares not say no for he will soon feel her powerful wrath.

This show is very entertaining and I think anyone who like magic/fantasy animes should give this one a try.I hope you all enjoy this classical magical comedy that is Save me! Lollipop.

Origin: Spirits of the Past

The Spirits of the Past is an anime movie about a world where Japan was destroyed by trees from the moon? I know it sounds weird, but according to the story, trees were being experimented on in an research facility on the moon.Mother nature must not have liked that very much because later the trees that they were experimenting on destroyed the facility and attacked Earth till it was nothing but a pile of ruins.

Three hundred later, the Earth was still pretty much a pile of ruins reminding the surviving humans of what life was like before the disaster. Now society is has been split in two groups which are the people of Neutral City or the people of Ragna. The citizens of Neutral City are the peaceful type that are with peace with the forest and its creatures, the Zruids, that live in the forest and control the water supply. The people of the nation Ragna, on the other hand, hate the forest with a passion and their mostly nothing but military folk that make their mission to destroy the forest and take back their planet.

Now destroying the forest might be a good idea but here's the problem. The forest is very smart and has made it pretty impossible for it to be destroyed until our main character Agito who is a mischievous boy that was trying to racing with his best friend Cain to the water hole which only ended up angering the Zruids. After, that they got separated and eventually Agito discovered a capsule that contained Toola. Toola is a girl that's been asleep for 300 years, so when she wakes up she has no clue where or what time she's in and becomes quite shocked at all of the changes.

Now, when the two are together you can see a little romance start to spark between them but you can also see the obvious obstacles in their way.For example, his best friend has a crush on her and is determined to make her his wife and that the neighborhood girl also has crush on him.Other than their personal romantic obstacles theirs another problem. The forest thinks that she's a threat to their very existance.The reason being is because of Shunack who is another human that was also put to sleep 300 years ago but joined the the people of Ragna and is determined to do anything to destroy the forest and when he finds out about Toola, he goes to Neutral City and convinces her to go with him.

The forest fears Toola because she might hold the key to destroying  the forest once and for all.Agito fears that Shunack might use Toola to get what he wants out of her.So, its up to him to find and rescue her.This magical anime is filled with mystery, romance, sci-fi, friendship and cool battle scenes.I hope you all enjoy this epic movie.

My bride is a mermaid

This funny and fantasy anime is about a young teenage boy named Nagasumi who was on vacation with his parents at his grandparents home on the country finds himself in a bit of a pickle. He has to get married. Not just to anyone either, he has to marry a girl named Sun Seto, a mermaid.

Your probably thinking," how in the world does he go from vacationing at his grandparents home to getting a beautiful mermaid as his fiancee?" Apparently, while he was enjoying the beach that near his granparents' home, he swam too far and started to drown. Then, Sun who happened to be near by saved his life. But, here's the problem according to merpeople law if a human sees a mermaid then both that human and the mermaid must be executed.Messed up, right?

Doesn't help much either that her and her family run an underwater yakuza.When came down to decisions, her dad just wanted to kill him and get it over with, but the mom seemed to like Nagasumi and came up with the great idea of the two getting married. That way it insures that he won't expose their existence and nobody has to die. But, I think Seto's father just might kill him anyway when he hears when he hears his wife's 'brilliant' idea. That my friends is how our magical romantic comedy begins.

I really liked Seto's parents in this anime. The dad always looked like he was going to explode with rage every time he sees Nagasumi. The mom, on the other hand, seems to like Nagasumi and seeing the two together. She even encourages them to do sexual stuff to their utter embarrassment. Also, just to let you know, the merpeople can change their form to having fish tails to having human legs. This show will keep you laughing all the way to the end, so I recommend that you watch it as soon as possible.

Demon King Daimo

This hilarious harem anime is about a teenage boy named Akuto who is transferring over to the Constan Magical Academy to become a pope.Before, he can begin his first day at school he meets Junko a hardcore class representative of his class and member to the Iga Ninja Clan. She's very hard headed, short tempered and ends up making a lot false conclusions about him during the show.For example, when they first met she thought that Akuto was stealing her grandmother's luggage when actually, he was helping her and ended up kicking his ass.

Once all the misunderstandings were cleared away, they became quick friends on their way to the Academy.They got separated when they arrived and ended up going to the infirmary where their is this crow inside of a crystal who can tell you your future occupation. This bird makes such good guesses that its rumored that it can see the future.So, every body's excited to go see the bird and hope that it predicts that their going to get their dream job.

But, when it gets to Akuto it predicts that he's going to become the Demon King the complete opposite of the job that he wanted. In this show, a long time ago the Demon King recked havoc on the world and almost destroyed it until he disappeared.Now everyone thinks that its going to happen all over again and people began to either fear or hate him. Most people fear him within the school except for Junko who despised him when she found out. She thinks that he knew he was the Demon King the whole time and played her for a fool now she's making it her personal mission to kill him.

Akuto obviously denies that he's the Demon King but when he starts being dragged into fights, he discovers that he's got some powerful abilities. This seems to be proof of his future but he becomes even more determined to prove them wrong.I think he should accept his future and just go with it, He can be the Demon King but that doesn't mean he has to be evil.But, I especially like when he takes on a more evil personality when he fights and gets those cool markings on his face.

Also, if you all think that Junko is the only hot girl appear in this show then your dead wrong. They're a lot more magical hotties to come. I think my favorite girl in this show would have to be the android, Korone because she is so blunt and brutally honest with him that it makes him blush. I don't think he'll choose one girl because as the story goes on it seems more and more like he is the king and all of his girl friends are his concubines.But, if he does end up choosing one of them or is he does find a way out of becoming the fearsome Demon King then I suggest you give this a try. I mostly recommend this to a mature audience, mostly boys.I hope you enjoy it.

Mew Mew Power

This anime about five young and very different girls that got fused with the spirit of animals while attending an endangered species exhibit.Ichigo, our red haired main character, was the first to realize what happened to her after she strangely started acting like a cat.Later, a spirit of a cat shows up and tells her that it fused with her and gave her special powers and that she must use these powers to defeat the Chimera animals, which are alien parasites that like to infect animals of any kind and turn them into monsters.

The cat also tells them that they're four other girls that are like her.Theirs the rich girl, Mint, the shy but smart girl, Lettuce, the energetic Pudding and the cool model Zakuro. Mint had the powers of the bird, Lettuce had the porpoise, Pudding had the monkey and Zakuro had the wolf. My favorite character would have to Zakuro, she was always cool and collected all the time but I don't know who's transformation I liked better Zakuro's or Ichigo's.

Speaking of Ichigo, while she was battling animal monsters, she was also having trouble with her love life.Apparently, she has a huge crush on this handsome boy named Masaya who is secretly the alien leader trying t kill her.Then, theirs Kishu, another alien that was sent by the leader to kill her and friends, but starts to fall in love with her.Kishu would have to be the bad boy type and I think those two would have made a good couple.If they were under different circumstances, then I bet they would have least given it a good try.

So, other than these girls battling evil aliens and animal monsters, but their day to day lives, as well. If you would like to see this fantasy anime that shows how five girls deal with having new powers and an ever growing friendship then I suggest you stop reading this and give this anime a glance.

Code Lyoko

This sci-fi anime show is centered around a group of kids who attend a school for gifted children called Kadic Academy. One day, these group of kids come across an old run down factory with a supercomputer. Its then they get their first taste of the virtual world called Lyoko and also come across to beings trapped inside this virtual world.

The first one is a pink haired girl named Aelita, who doesn't know she came to be inside Lyoko and doesn't know how to leave it and then theirs X.A.N.A., which is the evil virus that lurks deep within Lyoko and does anything possible to keep her from leaving and trying to destroy her no matter what. They then decide to her the poor girl in whatever way they can and that's when they discover that they can go into Lyoko, as well and protect her, but that's when the trouble starts.When X.A.N.A realized what they were up to, it did whatever it could to make their lives in the real world a living hell.

It would cause blackouts, make robots, make things come to life and so much more. Also, it seems that a certain moment is what gives the virus the opportunity it needs to launch a attack. But, now with their new found ability to time travel they can help avoid what triggered the attack the first time. Now, before you guys think that," why don't they just go all the way back before X.A.N.A was ever created and destroy it?" they can only go back as far as when the attack was triggered and only when they have helped Aelita get the tower and stop his attack.

Theirs also a little romance that happens in this show.Apparently, Jeremy, the brains in the group starts to fall in love with Aelita more and more as the show goes on and it seems that Ulrich and Yumi have crushes on each other but are just too shy to admit it to each other.Also, where would be if they didn't add a little school drama into it, as well. This girl named Sissy and her goons do anything they can to torment them whenever possible when X.A.N.A  can't. But, I think deep down Sissy wants to be part of their group and I think the main reason why is because she also has a crush on Ulrich, which means competition for Yumi. But, I don't think she has to worry much, he only has eyes for her.

This show is full of action, friendship, betrayal, romance and monster slaying. I think this an enjoyable show and I can't wait to see how it ends.

Kiki's Delivery Service

This bewitching movie is about a young 13 year old girl named Kiki. She's pretty much normal except for the fact that she's a witch with a talking cat named Jiji.Her mother is also a witch that specializes in making potions and I think her father his a normal human. The story begins with her taking the test that every witch or warlock must take when they reach a certain age.The test is to live away from your own home for a whole year and discover yourself.Basically, she must find what she's most good at and figure out how she can use her special abilities to help her and others in the future.

So, on the night of the full moon she and her smart mouthed cat, Jiji, set out on their journey. They end up living in the big city where a couple who works a local bakery take her in during her stay. She sees a lot of different things in the city and meets a lot of different people like Tombo. Tombo has this strange attraction to all things that can fly and Kiki. The first time he saw her fly, he wanted to be friends with her, immediately.But, Kiki doesn't think that being able to fly is such a big deal because every witch could fly.Later, though she discovers that the only thing she seemed to be good at was flying and not much else.

Before, she could wallow deep in depression at her discovery, the owners of the bakery decide to use her flying ability in a very unique way.They let her be their delivery girl and with her flying to each destination without the difficulty of having to go through any kind of traffic, she could get their in record time. Also, I think that having a flying witch delivering your pastries right to your door would really surprise the customers.

Kiki is a bright girl, but she has a lot of personal insecurities about herself. She just doesn't what other people see, when it comes to herself. For example, she keeps comparing the people that lived in her little town to the people in the big city. In her town, everybody is so nice and and absolutely loves her and her family.But, in the city she keeps on getting into trouble and the people around her age don't really understand her and try to put her down.I think that she should like herself for being who she is and not let anyone else tell her otherwise.

Unfortunately, she does let it get to her and she starts to get a 'artists block' which then leads her to slowly lose her powers. She can't even talk to Jiji anymore, but I think we don't really have to worry about him in this movie.After, moving to the city, he's practically living the life there.He's even got himself a pretty little girlfriend and later had some kittens together.

Personally, I think that this movie is ok but not the greatest of Hiyao Miyazaki's works, but that doesn't mean other people won't be able enjoy the witch tale.So, its up to Kiki to hurry up and discover herself, before her powers are gone for good. If you would like to see if she ever does, if Tombo and Kiki ever become more than friends or just want to see Jiji's cute kittens than I suggest you stop reading this and get yourself a copy of this movie and enjoy.

Escaflowne The Movie

The Escaflowne movie is basically the re-telling of the entire series, but with a few new twists and turns to it.It starts out like it did in the beginning of the series with our main character, Hitomi, getting sleepy all the time and having weird visions. Until, one day a mysterious figure appears to her out of the blue and calls her Winged Goddess.Before, she could ask what that meant she was transported to another world called Gaea.

Gaea is another world filled with strange creatures and even stranger people. The people, good or bad were drawn to her when they saw her emerge from a giant suit of armor who the people call the Dragon Armor. Prince Van immediately claims the armor as his, so he can use it to destroy his brother, Lord Folken, who is also the same person who sent her there in the first place.The Winged Goddess is supposed to be a person with great power but we don't see any of that till the end of the movie.

The things I liked most about this movie is the story, the fighting, romance and the soundtrack played in this movie. My favorite songs out of this entire would have to be Sora and the Dance of the Curse.I also like seeing how close Van and Hitomi got during the movie and if I was her, I would have stayed in that world with him. I mean, how many people can say that they've been  transported to another world and is being treated like a goddess? None I tell you! But, in the anime series their relationship was a bit more complicated than in the movie.

This magical tale is something to behold and I think anyone who like fantasy animes would really like this. Or if your trying to get hooked on anime then I suggest watching this as a start. Its filled with drama, fighting, magic, creatures, romance and friendship. I hope you all enjoy the tale of the Winged Goddess.

Rin: Daughters of the Mnemosyne

The story revolves around two women mostly, Rin who runs a detective business along with her trusted friends Mimi.Now things may seem to make it look like a normal detective show until see poor Rin die in one of the most horrible ways possible on her first case during the show by a psycho scientist named Sayara.

All I can say about Sayara is that she's one twisted woman. She's been cloning and experimenting on people and claims its for research on bacteria, but she's actually in search of immortality. She's even got herself some zombies that she keeps in the basement and what's worse everyone that works for her knows about it, so good luck counting on security to help you.After, she finishes killing Rin off I'm thinking theirs got to be more and their was. It turns out that Rin and Mimi have obtained immortality, not intentionally though. According, to them when a certain tree released its spores with what they call now Time Spores, it entered their bodies and they've been living healthy and young for hundreds or maybe thousands of years.Also, no matter how much they get hurt it doesn't take them long to regenerate.

When the crazy doctor first witnessed these abilities at work, she was totally shocked to the core.So, shocked that she didn't realize that her own zombies were sneaking up on her and ended up eating her and that's the last we see of her.....or is it?

Sayara wasn't the only crazy villain in this story and according to our leading ladies, he's a lot more evil and powerful than the doctor. Also, I couldn't help but notice the extreme sex component in this anime.For example, when Rin explained that angels and people like her are reluctantly attracted to each other and when they encountered each other and were practically having sex in mid air, I didn't know what to think.Its obvious that they want to make this anime as sexy as possible and they weren't afraid of putting some sex scenes in it neither.Like, when the girl they go to get information from, she always asks for sex as payment for her services.

Well, if you like watching sex scenes, cute girls, monsters, fighting, magic and mystery then this definitely for you. But, I must warn you that it is only six episodes, so this ride won't be for very long. But, even though, they don't have a lot of episodes doesn't mean that a lot of stuff happens in it. Trust me, when I say you'll get to see a lot of action during this show. Hope you guys enjoy.

No.6


In this world, their are six cities and there are only these six cities. Outside of them is nothing, but inhabitable wasteland, but on the inside of these cities the people say that its a utopia and that everything that they ever need is provided to them.But, the catch to keeping this luxurious lifestyle is their undying loyalty to the city.That means that they must obey all of their laws without questioning and doubting their motives, if they don't they end up going "missing" and the government covers it.

Four years ago, a 12 year old named Shion does just that after he aids an escaped convict named Rat.A little boy who escaped from the correctional facility. The facility is where they send anyone who is accused of breaking any of their laws and they are never seen again.Anyway, while Shion is taking care of Rat, they become quick friends, but after Rat leaves the authorities question Shion and strip of everything that he had.They didn't take him to the correctional facility but they did make him transfer to one of the poorer cities (No.6 was the most luxurious) and made sure that he would never get his credibility again to getting a better job.Thanks to Shions always looking on the bright side personality, he adapted fast to his new life and was quite happy with it.

Four years later, Shion is now a teenager working as a park attendee when he and his co-worker discover a rotting body lying in the middle of the park.What caught his attention though was that after they reported the body they didn't mention it on the news.Shion's sense of danger really went on high alert after he witnessed his co-worker age rapidly before his eyes and a bee hatch out of his neck. After that he was accused for murder and was being taken to the facility. Its a good thing that his childhood/convict friend decided to visit him and saving his life.They then slip the authorities by going getting out of the city and living with the people living outside the city and the story begins.

Now, Rat would have to be the hardcore one between the two and Shion the privileged one.Rat thinks that all people living the six cities are evil that they all need to be destroyed and he was just loving it when Shion told him about the bees, but not when one almost killed Shion. He survived the encounter but his body was transformed by it. His hair changed to brown to white, his eyes became red and theirs a light snake like tattoo wrapped around his body. Also, I don't know if he already had this or it was a untold side effect to his transformation but he seemed to have a bit of a temper.Now, it takes a lot to push him over the edge but when he finally gets mad, HE GETS MAD! His mind is completely over the edge and he never realizes it until its all over.

During, their time together they got closer and closer and we all know that they were made for each other.So, that's why when I thought they were going to kill the two of them at the end I was here thinking," No, you can't kill them you bastards, they must live!" They did end up surviving but still split up in the end, so now I'm thinking,"No, they must stay together forever!" This was really an eventful story full of love, mystery, supernatural, conspiracy, violence and friendship. I'm telling you still anime will keep you on your toes and your not going to believe what happens at the end.

Shinzo

In this anime, Earth is no longer called Earth, it is now called Enterra and its no longer inhabited by humans.They were all destroyed by the Enterrans that now live on the planet.Enterrans are beings similar to humans but have been mixed with animal DNA, so they either look or have abilities representing that type of animal.Now, everyone thought that all the humans have been wiped out but it turns out that theirs one human left.Her name is Yakumo and she would have to be the kindest, sweetest, naivest and most selfless girl I have ever seen, her only flaw is that she's too nice.

Yakumo was put to sleep by her father in hopes that one day she will bring peace to the planet once again, so she's been sleeping in her capsule, who later becomes her trusty robot, and has been sleeping for all these years. Her mission is to find Shinzo, which is the last sanctuary for the human race and to find her three heroes who will journey with her to stop the evil Lanancuras from awakening and destroying the world.

Our main hero out of the three would have to be Mushra and his main ability is fire and just like his fiery abilities, this boy has quite the temper which often led to fights between Yakumo and him.The reason why they fought so much was they had a different definition when it came to coming to "peaceful solutions". In Yakumo's case, when bad things happened to her, she would just get out of the situation and forgive whoever did her wrong.Mushra, on the other hand, would just kill them and be done with it and its because of is temper and harsh solutions to trouble is what led them to them splitting (don't worry they get back together eventually).Personally, I can see both sides, I understand that Yakumo wants peace more than anything, but it doesn't mean she's going to get it with raising her fist once in a while and I know that Mushra just wants to protect her from everything but the guy has got to chill out sometime and let things slide and not just kill who or what comes their way.

Our second heroine is Sago, who is a water elemental Enterran and who can also transform into a handsome water devil.Out of all the heroes hyper transformations, Sago's would have to be my favorite besides them all merging together and becoming Mushrambo.When it came to them becoming Mushrambo, theirs one thing that I kept wondering about.Mushra was in love with Yakumo, right? But, when they became Mushrambo, he confessed his love for her but wouldn't this mean that all three were in love with her or is it that Mushra was in main control of the body for the other two not to count?

Anyways, our last hero is Kutal, who a big yellow cat who loves to cook and eat all of the food that they can carry and sometimes send them in the wrong direction to Shinzo, unintentionally of course.But, because of all those detours they were able to see some amazing things during the trip. When he transforms, he can turn into a warrior lion which is a big change for this fat cat.

This anime is filled with otherworldly experiences, romance, drama, violence and sci-fi. Its a really good story and it makes you want to stay and watch it till your eyes burn out of your head, but I think its worth it.I think you all will be very interested to see what happens in this adventurous story.I hope you all like it as much as I did.

Wolf Rain

This anime takes place in a world where wolves have been hunted to the point of extinction.The only reason why they still exist is because they gained the ability to take human shape to elude the people that were hunting them.In this anime, their is a legend that tells of a paradise that only wolves can find, but in order wolves to find it they need the help of a flower maiden.A flower maiden is, basically, someone who has a really close relationship to nature.While watching Cheza, she's like a human flower.If she doesn't get any water or sunlight then she starts withering, literally.

This adventure starts when a lone, white wolf named Kiba travels to a city to free Cheza from a secret laboratory inside the city, so she can lead him to paradise.During this little rescue mission he meets other wolves end up joining him on his journey.While a hunter who thing about despises wolves above all else hunts them down with his loyal dog, Blue... or so he thought.Apparently, Blue is also a wolf as well, but couldn't take human form until she encountered Cheza who unlocked her dormant wolf blood.She also joins their group and ends up falling in love with Hige, the wolf who has a playboy like personality.

I really like everything about this anime except when they all started dying one by one. I was getting really scared that none of them was going to to make it.If you want to see if they do make it after all they've been through then I suggest that you watch this immediately and see.

The Wallflower

This hilarious anime revolves around four gorgeous guys named Ranmaru, Yuki, Takenaga, Kyohei and our main girl Sunako. Now, the reason why this whole story is hilarious is because of their main mission to turn Sunako into a beautiful lady, so they don't ever have to pay rent ever again at the mansion, they all live at.At first, the guys thought was going to be a piece of cake until they saw her for the first time.Not only does she look like she doesn't care about her appearance one little bit but her main interests are everything scary in this world. Not to mention that she's pretty scary herself.

Also, if they can't convince Sunako's aunt who is the owner of the mansion/landlord then their rent will triple in its amount. I'm pretty sure that they were struggling just with the normal amount, they might have to move out if they don't succeed.But, no matter what they do she shows no interest in changing who she is.The whole time I wondered what could have caused this kind of personality or if she was always like this.Apparently not, because when they asked her why she is the way she is she said it was because the guy she liked in school said he didn't want to go out with her because she was ugly.I think the guys and I were thinking the same thing when she said that, she changed her whole life style because of one boy's rejection. I just laughed at the looks on their faces when they heard her say that.

Now, what really shocked me in the middle of it was when her parents came into it. I thought they would kind of resemble her personality just a little bit, but they turned out being the complete opposites to her.The mom was petite and beautiful and she was so strong that she could probably lift a huge boulder with little effort on her part. Sunako's father, on the other hand, was huge, intimidating and not very handsome( according to the guys) and worst of all he's scared of everything that Sunako has come to love.Her parents seem to be an odd pair which probably lead them to bring about having an odd daughter.

While reading the story I thought that Kyohei and Sunako would end up together. Its quite obvious that they liked and understood each other at a certain level compared to the rest of them.But, it didn't show them in either the anime or the manga where they sealed the deal.Maybe in anime world they did, but actually showing us did not happen during the story.

I think that Kyohei started to really notice her as a woman when he saw actual potential in her become a proper lady after she put on some make up and a dress for the first time. I think though they should do what they do with all harem type animes and kind of feel out what it would be like if she chose a different guy besides Kyohei.I think that would have just added a whole new round of hilarious episodes.

This story is filled with handsome men, funny episodes and warm hearted moments. If you like seeing harem type animes with nothing, but hilarious encounters then you should really consider watching Wallflower and see if they ever turn this creepy into a real lady.

Secret World of Arrietty

The secret world of Arrietty is a very serene, magical and heart warming. Its about a family of borrowers who live in a house in the forest that's occupied by humans.By the way, borrowers are little people who 'borrow' things from the humans without them knowing to survive.The main unwritten rule with all borrowers is to only borrow things that the humans won't even know is missing or at least not be seen taking it.

This rule is finally broken when Arietty a teenage borrower who has been dreaming to go out into the world and help her father in 'borrowing' from the humans since she was little gets caught taking a sugar by Sho.Sho is a very quiet and sick boy who has been sent to the house to relax till his surgery and doesn't say much for the most part until he sees Arietty for the first time.Ariettty, for the most part, is terribly ashamed to have made such an awful mistake that could very well endanger her family and Sho's increasing curiosity doesn't help their situation much.

To make things worse, it seems that the maid working there plans on exposing and getting rid of them from the home any way she can.So, now that the humans know that they are there, they must find a new home and get out of the house without being caught by the crazy maid.

This one is worth watching and it holds a strong bond between two different people in two completely different worlds.Its filled with friendship, family, fantasy and animation that will take your breath away.

Howl's Moving Castle


This magical anime movie was also made by Hayao Miyazaki. Its main stars are Sophie and Howl obviously. Sophie is the owner of her deceased father's hat shop and she does nothing but work. She has very low self-esteem and doesn't consider herself pretty for some reason and I think that's the main reason why she doesn't hang out with friends or do anything else but work.Also, I don't think watching her beautiful and popular sister have fun and getting asked out on a regular basis is helping much.

One day, Sophie bumps into Howl in an alleyway and ends up getting chased by blob monsters.Howl, being the gentleman/playboy that he is escorts her back to safety.Sophie didn't know who he was until later and Howl seems to have a very cruel reputation for seducing women and stealing their hearts, literally.Not only that but the master of the blob monsters that were chasing her earlier were from the Witch of the Waste. She's this powerful and very fat witch that has been chasing down Howl for quite a while.She then takes some of her frustration out on poor Sophie by turning her into an old lady.After, being turned into an old woman, she surprisingly adapts to her new age quickly and decides to leave her life behind and travel.Its after that she discovers Howl's moving castle.

We discover later that her new form has a bit of a twist to it. The reason why Sophie looks like an old lady is because she feels like one or she feels bad about herself but when she feels good or young then she gets younger, so all she has to do is stay happy.This spell can also tell people how she's really feeling.I also liked Howl's spoiled and bratty personality. He would act like he knew everything but when it came to his personal affairs then he would act just like a child, it made me laugh but it made poor grandma Sophie cry.

I thought it was really cute how they made everyone become one happy family. I also liked all of Howl's battles with demons, sorcerers, witches, etc and also seeing Howl's own transformation but I don't want to give too much, if you've haven't seen it yet.But, I will tell you that a lot goes on in this movie and you'll be loving the adventure these two go through together (even though its kind of Howl's fault that she's in the mess that she's in).

I seriously doubt that anyone could dislike this movie and I hope you all enjoy this magical adventure.

Spirited Away

This awesome anime movie was made by Hayao Miyazaki. Out of all of the movies he's made so far this one would have have to be my favorite. Its about a little girl named Chihiro who's a little spoiled, bratty and depends a lot on people instead of relying on her own abilities. All that changes after her finally moves away from her hometown and her father makes ends up making a wrong turn while trying to get to their new home.

The little detour takes them to what they think is an abandoned theme park.But, it was actually a portal to the spirit world and Chihiro and her parents are now  she stuck there.Not only that, but her parents end up being turned to pigs.So, now Chihiro must find a way to save her parents, find a way to escape the spirit world and try to survive as best she can.

While there she learns how to depend on herself instead of others and gains new friends, as well. For example, she meets Haku, the second heroine in this story who Chihiro first meets and who warned her to leave before sunset (I bet she wished she listened to him).Haku is a powerful river spirit who can also turn into a dragon but is also the Witch's right hand man.Yubaba is a powerful witch who owns a popular bath house and likes controlling people by changing their names. She's the main villain in preventing the poor girl from returning home.

In this movie, we see a lot of different spirits, people and seeing Chihiro grow up a lot as a person. This is movie is really something special and if you don't believe me then I recommend you start watching it as soon as your done reading this.I assure you that this is worth while.

Sankarea

This story is about a regular high school boy named Chihiro who has an extreme zombie fetish.His love for the undead is so strong that when is beloved cat, Babu, dies he decides to attempt to resurrect it instead of just accepting his loss and moving on.He later finds an ancient text that reveals that if he can find a rare flower and turn it into a potion then it'll be able to bring his cat back to life.

During, his little journey of finding and making the potion he ends up meeting his dream girl, Rea. She's pretty, smart and comes from a rich family who's father likes taking nude pictures of her to 'keep record of her growth' and watches her constantly.I really don't know what is with her father and the picture thing, I think if he keeps it up he's just going to take one step closer to trying to rape her.So, that's why I think she ran away from him in the beginning.Even though, its quite obvious that he cares for her a lot unless he starts toning it down, it just looks straight up creepy.

Anyway, once the potion had been made Rea went and drank some of the potion while Chihiro wasn't looking.I don't know what this thought was going to happen but I think she thought their was going to be an immediate reaction, but when their wasn't she got really disappointed and the failing resurrection of Badu wasn't helping much either......or was it? Turns out the potion does work it just took it a while to sink in. Of course, poor little Chihiro didn't know that until Rea jump off a cliff, died and then came back as a zombie.That my friends is what starts this little dark and romantic story.

The main thing between Rea and Chihiro would have to be that because Rea is now a zombie, her body will start to rot and decay.Now, Chihiro has made it his mission to preserve her and try to keep her body from permanently rotting away.This is not going to miss the ultimate opportunity to have a zombie girlfriend.He would probably regret it for the rest of his life.

There also seems to be some love rivalry going on as well.Chihiro's cousin, Ranko, who he calls Wanko for some reason goes to the same school as Rea and after seeing the two together, she immediately gets jealous.She likes to tease the two a lot and try to get between them and I don't think she'll stop doing at anytime soon.Also, why is that the boys school and the girls school are just separated by a river? They might as well just put them together instead of the students trying to look through the windows to see the other.

This manga is a very good story that's filled with romance, comedy, violence and of course zombies. You'll be wondering the whole time who he ends up with and if he'll be able to save her before she completely rots away. I hope you guys will enjoy it.

Descendants of Darkness

This show is revolves mainly around Tsuzuki who is called the Guardian of Death or plainly the Grim Reaper.Now when think 'Reaper' your probably thinking that this guy is nothing but a scary skeleton that's wearing a black robe.Well, that doesn't seem to be the case because now he's a handsome, kind, 20 year old man with an extreme sweet tooth.He also has the power to control the twelve shikigami which we will see during the show.

Now the story starts out when his chief tells him to investigate "The Vampire Case".Apparently, lots of people are dying in a certain area with their blood drained and them finding bite marks on their necks.While Tsuzuki investigates these serial murders, he comes across his new partner Hisoka. A teenage boy who has some trust issues, but soon warms up to Tsuzuki.Also, they encounter Doctor Muraki who turns out to being the villain in this story and who seems to have a bit of a crush on Tsuzuki.He was so desperate to get his attention that he kidnaps Hisoka and forces Tsuzuki to go on a date with him.Sadly, for the doctor Tsuzuki seems to have his mind only on Hisoka the whole time their together.I liked seeing the guy get crazy jealous on the fact that his crush's mind isn't on him.

Not only that but I think Muraki was the very same person who killed Hisoka the first time.That would explain a lot about his trust issues.Anyway, the forced date isn't the only time Muraki tries to get Tsuzuki's love.This man even suckered poor Tsuzuki into a poker game for information about a case.I know both Tsuzuki and Hisoka would rather stay far away from this man as possible but it looks like he has all the answers to everything.

My biggest question in the beginning of this anime was,"Why is Muraki so interested in Tsuzuki?" The answer to that question will also be answered in this show.

Descendants of Darkness is filled with darkness, death, mystery, love, friendship and fantasy.I really enjoyed watching this anime and I think anyone else would, too.

School Rumble

School Rumble is a hilarious romance/comedy show that revolves mainly around a clumsy high school girl named Tenma Tsukamoto.The anime starts by telling us that she's in love with her classmate Karasuma, a dull boy who ends up doing the strangest things and most of the time daydreaming.She's been in love with him for a while and finally gathers enough encourage to confess her feelings for him but, unfortunately, for her he's planning to transfer to another school in a couple of days.

Devastated by the news, she tries everything in her power to get his attention, but to no avail.As a last resort, she writes him a very long love letter which is what made him decide to stay for the rest of the year.Now, she has one year to get Karasuma to fall in love with her.Personally, I don't think they'll be together.Maybe they'll become good friends with each other but I can't see them as a couple.Also, theirs another problem someone is in love with her.

Apparently, this anime is centered around a very odd love triangles or love triangles because goes to more than one in this show.Anyway, Tenma may be in love with Karasuma but it seems that Harima is in love with her.Harima is the school's delinquent, he never loses a fight, doesn't talk to anyone and never comes to school until now.He may act tough but we soon see that he's got a serious idiot quality about him that makes me think that he's perfect for Tenma.Especially, after he begs to be in the same class with her, even though, their not even in the same grade.Your going to laugh at what this guy does to get her attention.

When I first saw Harima I wondered why he looked do old, but then he explains that he wanted to change his appearance for her.Apparently, these to met before and might I add that I think he looks better then he did then, then he does now.Anyway, after he saves Tenma and takes care of her after she fainted, she wakes up, accuses him of being a pervert and then throws him across the room.It was then at that very moment where he fell in love with her and has been pursuing her since.He ended up changing his appearance because he doesn't want he to recognize him from back then and become scared of him.

As romantic as that sounds, I kind of feel bad for him.I feel bad because this incident was years ago and he still can't get the girl to like him.If you ask me, I think that's just sad.But, I have to give him credit for persistence though.Even though, he still hasn't won the girl yet, his love for her is as strong as it was back then, so theirs hope yet for the two.I just hope Tenma will stop chasing after Karasuma and start giving Harima a glance.

This show is totally funny, crazy and romantic.Its filled with lots of school life, hot girls, romance, funny situations and violence.If you want to have a quick laugh or if your curious to see if the motor thug Harima and the school girl Tenma ever get together then this the anime for you.

Samurai Jack


This anime is an awesome classic that I will never forge.Its about our main character Samurai Jack, who lived in feudal era Japan when out of no where the an evil shape shifting demon called Aku appears and tries to destroy everything.Later, Jack ends up defeating him but right before he could deliver the finishing blow, Aku transported him to the future.When he gets there he finds out that things aren't what they used to be.The villages have become large cities, theirs mostly aliens living there and Aku is the ruler of the world.

Now, Jack must find Aku, defeat him again and make him take him back home to his original time.But, its not going to be easy, he has to go through different hordes of aliens, lands and try not to get killed by Aku's many assassins.

I really liked this anime and I really miss it since they took it off the air.But, that doesn't mean I still can't enjoy it by using the internet.I liked the many different characters that play into this show and its theme song.This show is filled with awesome battle scenes, friendship, darkness, adventure, fantasy and betrayal.If you like old school animes with lots of samurai action then this is the show for you.

Library Wars

This anime is about a world where the government creates the 'Media Enhancement Law' that allows the authorities to censor as many books and any type of media that they can find.I think the reason behind this new law is to keep people in line and try to take away some of their freedom.But, in retaliation to this new law the Library Defense Force was born.Their mission is simple, its to save as many books or any other types of media as possible.Now, it may sound easy but during the story the police that enforces censoring take it pretty seriously and do just about anything to destroy books and the defense force in the process.

Also, because being in the Library Defense Force is so dangerous and extreme that only men seem to be able to join...until now.Our main character, Iku Kasahara, not only joins the Library Defense Force but is the only girl by far to do so.Most of the guys already think that she's not going to last just because she's a girl but, eventually, proves them wrong.Now, you must be thinking, "why did she want to join the library force so badly?" Well, it was because when she was a child and the police tried to take her banned book away from her, she said a handsome prince came out of nowhere and beat up the police and saved her.Of course, this poor dense girl doesn't realize that the guy that saved her was in fact, Atsushi Dojo, her squad commander.

Since, the beginning this guy has been on her case.He teases her and makes fun of her any way he can, but later they grow to become good friends with each other and later into romantic interests. You can, obviously, tell that they have a thing for each other but just won't admit it or it could be because its similar to being in a dating your boss situation, who knows really.But, I don't think that either one of them realizes their feelings for the other in the beginning but when do idiot couples do?

In the battle scenes, it really looks like that they are in a war zone and I don;t think that this war is going to end anytime soon.Not unless they can find the person who made the law and force him to revoke it but I don't think that going to happen either.

I can't wait to see when Iku's face when she finally realizes that her fantasy prince was Atsushi.I don't think she'll believe it and just go into denial.Anyway, the anime is a bit short but I think that the manga is longer, but are both very enjoyable.I think everyone will enjoy the violence, romance, action, friendship and war scenes that play into this anime.I hope you enjoy it.

Black Butler 2

Now if you've seen all the way up to the ending to season 1.Then, started to watch the beginning of season 2 then your going to end up pretty confused at first.The reason being that in the end of season 1 ,Sebastian, Ceil's demonic butler was about to eat Ceil's soul or so we thought.In the second season, we see that Ceil is alive and well and both act like nothing had happened, so the main question on my mind is,"Why didn't Sebastian eat his soul?" Don't get me wrong I'm glad hes still alive and all but I still want to know what happened back then.Luckily, for you and me our answer to that question will be answered during the show.

Now,besides, Ceil being alive and Sebastian still being by his side we gain some brand new characters.The two main characters to this new chapter of the story are Alois Trancy and his demon butler, Claude Faustus.Even though, both of these boys seem to be very much alike in both wealth, problems and wielding demonic power, they couldn't be more different.For example, when it came to how they dealt with their childhood incidents,Ceil seem to let it fuel his determination and give him a reason to push all the way to his limits to finding out the truth.But, Alois, on the other hand, seems to let his problems consume him until their is nothing but anger and madness left.

There seems to be a rivalry that goes on not just between the boys but the butlers as well.They seem to both like Ceil and both want to eat his soul but obviously Sebastian isn't going to give him up without a fight.I like seeing how Faustus gets so jealous of Sebastian and his relationship with his master, but I kind of feel bad for Alois a little just because of how Faustus looks at him sometimes like he doesn't want him anymore but can't get out of it.One of my favorite parts in this season was watching their little cooking competition and Sebastain catching Faustus looking at Ceil and asking him if he's eating his master with his eyes (he probably was).

Things get very dark, twisted and heated in this season and I don't think you would want to miss it.But, if you never watch it then you'll never know what happened after he tried to eat his soul.So, I recommend watching it immediately.I guarnatee you that your going to be very surprised at what's going to happen at the end.I hope you enjoy this dark story as much as I do.

Inu x Boku SS


The show starts out with our main character, Ririchiyo, a half demon school girl who moves into the Ayakashi Mansion.The mansion is designed to protect people like her and each resident of the building are given a bodyguard to protect them.Anyway, Ririchiyo looks like any other normal high school girl till she speaks.Whenever she speaks, she acts like an arrogant know it all but later it is revealed by her best friend, Rensho that she doesn't mean to act like that and can only share her true feelings on paper.Obviously, she denies it being true but you can tell that they are really close.

Ririchiyo has a very strong urge to be on her own and I think that comes from her previous experiences with her family.So, because of that she requested to not have a guard assigned to her but when she gets to her room she finds Soshi, a nine tailed fox demon and her guard.Soshi is funny, literal and very dramatic.For example, when Ririchiyo said that she didn't need a very bodyguard, he totally went overboard with sadness and said that if she no longer needed him then he must die and made a really big show out of trying to kill himself with a samurai sword.But, other than his little dramatic shows he is really loyal and gentle to her and protects her from everything.But, since the beginning I kept on wondering why he was so unconditionally loyal to her even though he's never met her.

I love his over caring personality and I liked watching these two get closer and closer to each other.This can be watched or read and I have to say that this anime is really funny, heart warming, magic, magical creatures and filled with friendship and romance.What I liked most about this anime is the different characters, their different forms that they took and the different kinds of trouble they kept getting themselves into.I really can't see anyone disliking such and funny anime.I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.

Ghost Hound

Ghost Hound was created by the very same people who created Ghost in the Shell and if you've already seen that then you already have a pretty good idea about what to expect with this show.It revolves around three teenage boys but mainly Taro Komori who was kidnapped a long time ago along with his sister.He was the only one to survive the incident, but during the show he keeps on having terrible flashbacks about the kidnapping and his sister dying next to him.He also has a lot of out of body experiences.

Next, is Makoto who is this cool looking but distant and hot tempered boy who rarely even comes to school and so has claimed the title of a delinquent.He is also one of Taro's relatives so the two kind of get along and just because their related.Even though, he doesn't talk much in this show I like his whole dark and mysterious aura he's putting off.Weirdly, though he gains the ability to turn into a this dark and ghostly wolf creature.

Last but not least, there is Masayuki a boy who recently transferred over to the same school as Taro and Makoto and they all become quick friends.For some strange reason, he becomes very interested in the story about Taro's kidnapping and somhow encourages him and Makoto to visit the place where he was held up in.Once there, strange things start happening like them seeing spirits of all kind crawling all over the place.Since, then strange things keep happening more and more around their town.

The strange happenings that keep happening are what leads to their new powers.All three of them have the ability to leave their bodies and gain an astral form.How or why they are the only ones that have this ability is a mystery which they hope to solve.Each boy uses their new ability a different way and I really liked how they showed each boy's p.o.v. (point of view).This show is mysterious, dark, tragic and a bit disturbing.I can't wait to see the next episode and see what weird and strange thing will happen next in this anime.

Fruits Basket

 

This hilarious show starts with a young high school girl named Tohru Honda that starts living in a tent trying to support herself after her mom dies.Then, one day, one of her classmates,Yuki Sohma, discovers her living there and tells her that she's living on his land.But, instead of kicking her out, he invites her to stay at his house.Besides, Yuki there are two more residents that live at the house who are his cousins Kyo and Shigure.I just loved watching Yuki and Kyo getting under each other's skin and how they kept on fighting for her attention almost the entire show.I also liked Shigure's laid back personality but I think he needs to find a better job that suits his personality because he's an author and all throughout this anime his editor has been breathing down his neck because he doesn't or barely meets the deadlines.

Anyway, Tohru's starting to get used to her new living situation when one day she hugs Yuki and her turns into a mouse.Tohru is obviously shocked at how this could be possible until he explained that his family has been living under a curse.Twelve members of his family are possessed by the spirits of the Chinese Zodiac and are able to turn into that particular animal if they are hugged by the opposite sex or under a lot of stress.Tohru being as good natured girl that she is promises not to tell anybody and life goes on.

Unfortunately, her life is about to have a lot of weird twists and turns added to it.The other possessed family members keep showing up with each their own set of problems and now that she's knows their little secret she keeps getting tangled up in there problems plus she has made it a bit of her mission to somehow break their curse once and for all.How she'll accomplish that feat would have to be any one's guess.Also, when it comes to the romance part of this anime I wonder who will she choose.I think it should be Kyo who is also by the way the cat which kind of explains why the two of them are always at each other's throats.Anyway, I think Tohru should be with Kyo because he's obviously has a crush on her, he's just to hot headed and stubborn to admit it and when the someone else puts the moves on her or is mean to her he doesn't hesitate to go into action.

This anime is funny, magical, tragic, romantic and heart warming I really think that anybody who reads or watches this story unfold would come to love it.I recommend this to anybody that loves curses, romance, friendship and lots of comedy.

Date a Live

This show is about a boy named Shido Itsuka who unexpectedly gets dragged into this dangerous love story.For about 30 long years, Japan has suffered against what they now call "Spacequakes".The name makes sense considering the fact that whatever is hitting them is a big ball of powerful energy from space.Over the years, the people have went to great links to making sure they survive the next one.

Now, your probably asking yourself,"what has this got to do with Shido?" Good question and here's your answer.Turns out that Shido's energetic and carefree sister, Kotori, is the commander of an secret organization that is trying to stop the spacequakes.Also, when she's in commander mode her personality changes dramatically.She goes from being just plain innocent to straight up arrogant and bossy.I, totally, loved the Shido's reaction to her new personality and for me personally I kind of like this new attitude compared to the old her in the beginning.Her looks and attitude now go together.

Anyway, it turns out that the spacequakes aren't what people think they are at all.The quakes contain what they call "Spirits" and the form that these spirits take on are mostly beautiful girls and that's where Shido comes in.For some strange reason, they gave him the job to seduce the girls that come to their planet in order for them not to destroy it.Of course, he accepts the task and the story begins.

The only way I could describe Date a Live would be that its like watching a live dating Sim game and if you've ever played one (which you've most likely have) then you know what I'm talking about.I kind of laughed at how when a spirit like Tohka talks they kind of pause for a second so they can let the screen make a couple of choice lines for their next move and give them time to decide towards which one they'll choose for him to speak.When Shido went through his first mission I wasn't surprised to see that some of the things he said to her almost gotten him blown to bits.Why can't they just let him do his own thing and only help him out when he's in a pinch?

Also, just like in an any other Sim dating game their are other girls besides the main one to woo.Yoshino who they also call "The Hermit" would have to be one of my favorites. She's so adorable and I also like her angel and outfit very much.I think one of things I like most about her would have to be her loud-mouthed puppet, Yoshinon, who is the complete opposite of Yoshino but whenever they get separated, she either gets really quiet or she balls out in tears until she gets him back.

I wonder who will come out of the wood work next and if these spacequakes will ever end.Or will Shido have an unlimited supply of spirit women to add to his little harem?By the way, why are they all girls why aren't any guy spirits coming in this show? Maybe its because their trying to make it as similar as the dating games as possible.If so, they should make another one but this one with guy spirits instead.

Date a Live is an anime and manga so you can watch it or read it, your choice.Its filled with violence, mecha, hot girls, romance, fantasy and lots of sexual situations.I recommend this to all hopeless romantics and mature audiences.This is a very good show to watch and I can't wait to see how it ends.

Gate 7

This story was made by Clamp, the same people who made Cardcaptors, xxxHolic and so much more.So, you already know its going to be an interesting story.The story begins around a young man named Chikahito.He is a college student with a extreme passion for history but mostly for Kyoto's history. He loves the place so much he decided to a short trip there and enjoy the sights and its history.But, he might have to cut sight seeing short because soon after he arrives, he gets caught up in a battle between Oni and a trio of sorcerers.

The two guys in trio are called Sakura and Tachibana and they fight with Hana who happens to be the most powerful of the three.But, even though she's the most powerful when their not fighting she seems the most vulnerable because she goes from mystical warrior to innocent child in a heartbeat. It also looks like the two guys take care of her a lot and even though she doesn't say anything they seem to know what she wants or is trying to say. After, the battle Hana takes a strange interest in him and doesn't really want him to go after he's seen the whole thing. But, Chikahito returns anyway but isn't gone fro long because strangely his school let's him transfer to one of Kyoto's colleges and was able to return to the house.Tachibana and Sakura were both stunned at this and at the fact that they can't erase his mind.The guys don't want him around but what can they do so they decide to let him stick around much to Hana's happiness.

The girl, Hana, is surrounded by so much mystery that the whole time I'm just wondering about her past.She's the one who mostly vanquishes the Oni that mostly come out to play. But, I wonder about her personality, its kind of cat like how she looks at her food and how she shows her affection to others.I also think that Chikahito has some powers of his own but just doesn't know it yet.But, if your willing to find out how this mysterious manga ends then please read it as quickly as possible.

Tsubasa Chronicle



This anime was made by Clamp.The same people who made xxxHolic and Cardcaptors, so you already know this one is going to be pretty good. Its about a son of archaeologist named Syaoran who is good friends with the princess of the Kingdom of Clow, Sakura.You can already tell in the beginning that they have feelings for each other.Of course, the only thing standing in their way is the whole' a princess can not be with a commoner' dilemma and their own shyness.Neither of them can gather up the courage to tell the other how they feel.

But, unspoken feelings are going to be the least of their problems when an unknown group helps activate a long and dormant power within Sakura.Before, the ritual could be completed Syaoran interferes which in turn causes Sakura to lose her memories.Her memories take the form of feathers and float away.Also, without any memories she was, basically, a shell of her former self and didn't wake up and wouldn't wake up until they were returned to her.

Syaoran was then instructed to visit the Dimensional Witch Yuko who we obviously know from xxxHolic.But, when he gets there he finds out that he is not alone.A hot headed samurai and handsome sorcerer appear the same time he does.Coincidence I think not!Yuko obviously suggests that the three travel together for they have something to gain from traveling together.Kurogane, the samurai, wants to return to his home and continue to serve his princess but in order to do that he needs the power of the Black Mokona who will not take him home until he helps Syaoran in his journey.Also, Fai the handsome magician who never wants to return to his country after he sealed up his king and traveling with them would be a pretty good excuse for him to never come back.Now the trio travel through dimensions in hope of finding Sakura's lost memories.

This anime is filled with fantasy, romance, magic, mystery, comedy and lots of dangerous situations.I likes the little scenes where Fai tries to upset Kurogane and Mokona also likes to get in on the fun.I also liked all of the different worlds they went through.Each one was very unique in its own way.Also, why didn't Kurogane listen to Yuko's warning about some people in different worlds might look like people that you know.I don't think anything gets through his head.But, I did like the episode when Syaoran mistook the cook for his king and now the customers that come in now call him 'His Majesty'.

Watching this show really filled in some blanks for me when I started reading xxxHolic because he didn't really make sense to me at first when they first appeared and then appeared a couple of times more in the future.But, now that I've seen this, I now get what they were doing in xxxHolic.Tsubasa Chronicle is both an anime and a manga so you can enjoy both.If you like fantasy type animes with a lot of battles, romance and humor mixed into it then you'll really love this story a lot.

Naruto

If you've never seen or even heard of the total awesomeness that is Naruto then something is deeply wrong with you! Even non-anime fans have at least heard of it and how can they not.Naruto would have to be one of my ten top favorites when it comes to anime.

It begins with a trouble making boy named Naruto who has the all and powerful nine tailed fox demon locked inside of him.After, the nine tailed fox attacked the Hidden Leaf Village, Naruto's home, they locked up the demon inside of Naruto when he was nothing but a baby and to this day he still lives with the demon inside of him.You would think that his people would be internally grateful for his sacrifice, right? Well, you'd would be wrong.Other than the hokage (leader of the hidden leaf village), Naruto's teacher and most of the children the other villagers seem to do nothing but despise him and shun him from whatever and whenever they can. Also, to make things even worse he doesn't even know why they hate him so much. Apparently, no one told him about the demon inside of him.

But, Naruto doesn't let that stop him instead he lets it feed his ambition for his goal in life which is to become hokage.He wants to become hokage so that everyone would stop disrespecting him and look up to him instead.We already know that's going to take a lot to accomplish that but here's the kicker he totally sucks at being a ninja! He's already failed the exam a couple of times that would let him  graduate his school and it didn't look like he was getting out of their anytime soon.But, of course, later he does.

After, that he put into a team who of course don't like him and not because he has a demon inside of him.First, we got Sakura who Naruto has had a crush on for quite a while now but Sakura doesn't want anything to do with him.She rather pummel him to a pulp than breathe the same air as him.I never really liked Sakura personally all she did was make go-go eyes at Sasuke, stand there when things got real or get in the way.Sure, she had awesome strength but other than Naruto, she never used on anybody else.But, I will give her this when Naruto and Sasuke were both KOd for a while and their enemies were coming after them to finish them off, she did all in her power to making sure that didn't happen.She even took a huge beating for them, so she's not totally useless.

Last but not least, Sasuke is their third and final teammate.Sasuke would have to be the most popular boy in school, even though, he didn't much care. He really didn't care about anything but getting revenge for his clan that was wiped out by his older brother, Itachi.But, that cool, mysterious and not caring attitude is what makes the girls go wild for him including Sakura much to Naruto's dismay.These two hate each other but I think they were made to be teammates because they are always pushing each other to their limits and always trying to improve themselves.Of course, its one of those love-hate relationships where they don't realize how close they are until they almost lose each other, but I don't think either one of them will admit their true feelings.

In the first season, one of my favorite scenes is when Naruto lets is demon out for the first time and ended up scaring the crap out of everyone when Naruto thought that Sasuke was dead.The ending to that episode was so touching I actually cried.My favorite characters in this anime would have to be the Uchiha brothers (Sasuke and Itachi).Their both cool in different ways.Itachi is cool and collected on the outside but is totally insane in the inside and not to mention super powerful.I kind of felt bad for Sasuke when I first saw the difference in power between them.Also, no matter how dark either of them gets I will always love them from the bottom of my heart.

Naruto is an awesome anime and I would recommend this to everyone of all ages.If you've already done so then good for you and keep watching.I don not know when they plan on ending this anime.It will most likely end when they finally make Naruto hokage, so that means that this will go on for a pretty long time. I can't wait to see how it finally all ends.

Wanted

This short story is about an orphaned girl named Armelia who makes money singing at a bar.In the beginning, Armelia and Luce were the best of friends.Luce was this lonely and shy boy that hung out with her a lot.One day, pirates raid the town and kidnap Luce in the process.Since, then Armelia swore she would one day find and save him.

Years later, she got her wish but the results are not what she was expecting at all.Instead, of Luce being a prisoner of the pirates, he turns out to be their captain.Not only that he has changed dramatically since then and not just because he went from cute to handsome in a couple of years either.After that Luce decides to keep Armelia with him which she of course was a bit reluctant to do.He was nothing like he was years ago and his crew don't make it any easier for her either.But, she can still detect the kindness hidden deep within him.

Not much to say about this story other than its short and I do mean short.This manga only lasts for three chapters plus a bonus chapter at the end.You don't really know how their relationship ends.The only thing I got was that they got closer and closer and sailed the high seas together.It never tells you if they ever get together or not.We all assume they do but we would all like some confirmation, you know?This really, really short story is filled with romance and adventure.If you like reading one shots or short stories then your going to love this.

Maid-Sama


Misaki, one of our main characters in Maid-Sama is this high strong, tough and a boy hating student council president.Also, she is her school's first female president considering the fact that the school used to be a all boys school until recently.But, now that girls are starting to make their appearance within the school Misaki has made it her mission that the school becomes a paradise for the girls.The girls adore her and the boys fear her.

That is her image at school, outside of school is a different story.After school she becomes a maid at a local cafe.She's very good at her job and does it to support her family.Also, she has gone to great links towards making sure that no one especially her classmates finding out about her after school job.But, all of her hard work is put down the drain when Usui finds out.Usui is not only the most popular and most good looking boy at school but is also Misaki's ultimate rival.

She hates his guts but we can pick up right away that he has a crush on her.I think he picks on her so much because he wants to have her attention or that he just like seeing her mad. After, Usui discovers her secret, she thought he would blab to everyone at school the next day but that wasn't the case.Instead, he visits her everyday at the cafe.Misaki's dense skull can't seem to understand why he doesn't use this to get revenge on her.

This anime is filled with romance, friendship, love rivalry, silly little adventures, crazy characters and obviously violence. My favorite side characters would have to be the three thugs that appeared in the beginning trying to rough up Misaki but later becoming not only her most loyal and regular customers but her followers as well.Everyday they waver at her beauty and make sure to come to the cafe everday to their wallet's dismay.I also liked her cute little boss, Satsuki, who always voicing out her fantasies whenever Misaki and Usui are together.This show is really enjoyable and your just going to love watching Misaki in all of these embarrasing love encounters and Usui torturing her to his heart's content.
