Steins;Gate

Dec 16, 2011

Before i officially begin this review I would like to expound on one of my favorite words, that i discovered on my Ipod several months ago. The word is weltschmerz. I cannot think of a better word to describe the empowering feeling that this show leaves you with. Weltschmerz (pronounced like veltshmerts) is a german word, that is made by the joining of two words, welt - meaning “world”, and schmerz - meaning “pain”. Weltschmertz is a type of emotion that is almost viewed as a natural depression, or a natural sadness, that enters one’s self when comparing ones current life... See full review

Highschool of the Dead

Sep 20, 2011

  At first i was hesitant about watching this anime. Because I usually hate zombie flicks. I skimmed over the title for weeks. Eventually the ratings and recommendations got to me, so i sat down and watched it. 24 hours later, i had finished the whole show, and just sat back, eyes wide, trying to digest everything i had just seen.  Highschool of the Dead follows Takashi Komuro, a student who witnesses a zombie infestation knocking at the front gates of his highschool. As you watch the show, you witness the world as we know it, completely change from one we all know...

Xam'd: Lost Memories

Sep 2, 2011

I came across this show one day when i was bored. I must say, sometimes boredom is a blessing, because out of the number of new Anime that i have stumbled across, this is one of the better. Xam'd; Lost Memories begins with a high school boy name Akiyuki, who finds himself in the cross-fires of a world war. As a consequence, he finds himself infected with a Xam'd - some kind of creature thingy that can make him into a bad-A. But only when he can control it. Without his body and mind finding a way to harmonize with the Xam'd, Akiyuki is doomed. While in turmoil, Akiyuki is picked up by a red headed, pilot... See full review

Air

Nov 4, 2011

Ah. Air, the only word that comes into mind is "sad". and i don't mean that it’s sad as in depressing. But i mean the word sad as the word you say when a really fat skateboarder smashes his face in the concrete after pulling an impossible move. "sad" as in, wow, the poor fellow was trying so hard, but failed....pretty bad. But when this skate boarder hurts himself. you'r not laughing, you just payed money to see this kid do something awesome. and he just wasted your money. I guess maybe I'm being harsh. but i loved Clannad, what i have seen of Kannon has impressed me, and i also... See full review
