Kill La Kill

Oct 12, 2014

As of recent, I’ve been sifting through my Netflix list of anime, and came across this. After hearing much about it and glimpsing some well-cosplayed characters at conventions, I gave Kill la Kill a shot. It definitely had the spice of “not what I was expecting…” Story: 9/10 Kill la Kill was something that I plowed through kind of quick. That really only happens when I sincerely enjoy a story. I think there were a lot of turns in the plot, and certain aspects kept the suspense going, thus, keeping you watching. One thing I highly enjoyed about Kill la Kill was that there were...

Samurai Champloo

Jul 11, 2014

Ah, the days of staying up past midnight to watch your one favorite anime on Toonami or Adult Swim that you would rather risk getting the smackdown from your parents than miss an episode {even if it was a rerun}… Usually your television program in shining armor would come to rescue you at a time when you just couldn’t take all of the filler TV-14 cartoons and anime anymore and you almost drift off to sleep at some hour in the morning you couldn’t wrap your little head around.  But the anime you battled at level 12:30 am were unforgettable…  The last of my weekly...

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

May 9, 2013

As I finish my unhealthy breakfast of leftover Taco Bell and ramen, let me tell you about a legacy called FullMetal Alchemist. FullMetal Alchemist {FMA for short} is a franchise that follows two young brothers in an alternate European universe, shortly after industrialization, in which Alchemy is a common practice, and was weaponized for a country at war. There are some rules to alchemy; you can’t create something out of nothing, in order to create, something of equal value must be lost, and human transmutation is strictly forbidden. The aforementioned brothers lose their mother to sickness... See full review

Baccano!

Feb 9, 2012

After watching Durarara!!,  wanted to get in to the Light Novels. I've only read a few so far, but I'm already in love with Narita's work. So of course, I had to get in to Baccano!, starting off with the anime. Story: Even though leaving a botched plot at the beginning to draw it all together at the end isn't exactly new, the way that Baccano! did it was spectacular. I'm not going to talk about it too much, because I'm spoiler-free, but at the end, there's quite a few things that are open for interpretation. You know the facts, and how it ends, but how it came to be isn't exactly spelled out for... See full review

Angel's Feather

Jun 14, 2011

I'm not really going to go in-depth with this review. All I have to say is that the story was really choppy and jumpy. It barely qualified as a Shounen-ai. The fight scenes were a joke, and the dialogue was terrible. It was so cheesy and unoriginal. If you're into all that, then that's fine, but even then, I think that it would make more sense if you played or know about the game. It was just bad. Save two episodes of your life.

Black Butler

Apr 23, 2011

The beauty and elegance that the characters, environment and overall animation hold will sweep anyone off of their feet at first glance. And it’s surely certainly enough to keep one enticed. But let’s step back and look at it critically for a moment and discuss the good and the bad.   The Bad: -Kuroshitsuji essentially doesn’t have much of a plot. You get a couple hints of it at the beginning, so you get some idea of what it is. However, for most of the anime you watch many filler arcs that - while entertaining – are not related to the plot {for the most part}. The anime... See full review
