Noir

Dec 3, 2011

This anime, in my humble opinion deserves a perfect 10 and here's why.  Story: Slow paced, but not in a boring way. The way the story unfolds for the characters is actually something that re-inspired me to write once again. I was literally blown away by the characterization builds. Couldn't have done a better job myself to be honest. Normally in an anime you get some form of a cheesy ending but not in this one. Noir brings something to the table that I firmly believe many anime need to follow and use. Animation: Yes it gets a ten. Well drawn action sequences that will keep you on the edge of...

Abunai Sisters: Koko & Mika

Feb 6, 2011

This has got to be one of the saddest excuses for an anime I've ever seen in my entire life that I literally bite my tongue for calling it an anime. Sadly though, and here is a bit of akn known fact about me, once I start a show I do everything in my power to watch the whole thing first before judging. *takes deep breathe* First let me get this out the way... if something like, I don't know busty women, with a storyline that doesn't even make any sort of sense is written down on paper, it should be shredded immediately, then bang your head 20 times on a marble table while promising yourself to never make...

Sengoku Basara: Samurai Kings 2

Jan 18, 2011

After the demise of Nobunaga a new foe arrives on the scene and he's big, he's bad and he;s an ape... oh wait, I mean Toyotomi. He makes his presence known from the very first episode. Staying true to most of the story set back in history, Sengoku Basara Ni still doesn't disappoint. This time around though it's a bit more serious as the story revolves around old bonds between friends that have died, and of course some strange alliances. We'll get to that later thought, here it is your moment of Zen... The story actually seemed a tad bit different this time around, with no real selling point. It... See full review

Sengoku Basara: Samurai Kings

Jan 17, 2011

After a friend told me about this anime I just had to watch it. This show takes some memorable characters and events in history and changes them giving them a new feeling of life. This show has some incredible action sequences and beautiful animation makes Sengoku Basara a show worth watching if you like action and good plot. The story is about war in Old Japan, but in a different scene. You notice this early on with names that have wrought through the history books of Japan. Despite the fact that many of the actual events weren't portrayed in this story, it still held true to the context of war... See full review

Devil May Cry

Jan 12, 2011

Being a fan of a video game translated to an Anime is extremely hard, especially when it's a game that has so much commercial value that is just insane. I've farted better stuff than this show, so here it is your moment of Zen... Devil May Cry started off as a game, as millions of you know already, and this adaptation sucked more than DMC 2 did 100 times over. After watching the first episode which, by the way suckers you in, you'll feels a sense of doubt as to continue watching. The story itself will leave you with a foul taste in your mouth. And I say this to all fans of the games, if you love the games... See full review

School Days

Jan 12, 2011

Despite what you might have read already from previous posts, I'm here to tell you about a psychological drama that will leave you thinking a whole lot about being "one of those guys" as my sister puts it. Yes, we can sit here and argue that it has elements of harem, and romance, but the reality is, it's none of those if you actually pay attention to the story. Anyway here it is your moment of Zen. I'll try not to post any spoilers for those who haven't seen this yet. Keep in mind I did say try. Moving on...   I'm going to get the animation and sound out the way now, cause that's not what...

Angel Beats! Stairway to Heaven

Dec 31, 2010

If you haven't watched this yet, when you do you'll burst into tears. This is possibly one of the funniest episodes in the series and should be deserving of a perfect 10, but I have my reasons as to why it didn't. So lets start there...   The story and plot to this particular episode was actually comical, but the animation and sound fell just a touch short for me. The characters however continued their hilarity and their idiocies that it felt as though it was a normal episode that should have been part of the series in stead of a stand alone special episode.

Angel Beats!

Dec 31, 2010

While I sat down and watched Angel Beats! I thought to myself this is probably another knock off of Haruhi or maybe another anime that I have watched, but I was DEAD WRONG! Angel Beats is probably one of the best if not the best anime of 2010 and with that said here is my review.   Story: While the story was original and highly entertaining, it provides some descent comedy and action, but the drama of it all just leaves one breathless. It's just beautifully written. From the different character stories and the plot, I was actually highly entertained after the first episode. Warning to all who haven't... See full review

Tantei Opera Milky Holmes

Dec 29, 2010

Tantei Opera Milky Holmes is an anime that actually crept up on me, especially its characters. But we'll get to them later on. First order of business is the story. I found that there wasn't much originality when it came to how the story played out, if you haven't finished watching this one, I won't spoil it for you. It seriously needed work, that is all. As for the animation, this one wasn't to bad, most of the lighting and setting were done very nicely. The sound wasn't too bad as well, could have used a bit more ambiance in some scenes more than others, but that's my opinion. Now on to what sells this... See full review

Taisho Baseball Girls

Dec 28, 2010

Taishou Yakyuu Musume's story starts off  and ends with a sweet innocence for a game that I love very dearly, baseball, and puts a love story into the mix as well. I didn't find any real dull moments with the story, I did how ever find a good sense of comedy which to me really helped out the story. The animation feels a bit dated, but it's not as bad as many might probably think. The sound wasn't too bad either, hearing the crack of the bat, ah what a sweet sound *.* (sorry again, my love for baseball). The characters were also unique, even though a huge portion of the cast did seem to be variations of... See full review

D.N.Angel

Dec 26, 2010

Another anime that could have been a classic, D.N. Angel has a fantastic story as well as plot, but then dies out during the end of the series. The animation wasn't nothing too spectacular, but it worked for the time I guess. The sounds wasn't too bad, although there might be many out there that will argue. The characters themselves were memorable, well in my opinion they were, however, there could have been more of a back story for most of the cast.

Rurouni Kenshin

Dec 26, 2010

Despite the fact Rurouni Kenshin did have a cult following, I myself being one of them at the time, I feel that this anime could have been something better. The story was pretty solid for the first 20 some odd episodes but then it just went all over the place during the last 30. I kind of felt lost at times, and literally re-watched every single episode a few times just to see if I missed anything. As for the animation, it felt a bit rushed. The sounds and music were pretty cool. The characters are by far both cool and weird. Kenshin himself is cool working along side Miss Karou. But then as the story... See full review

Petite Princess Yucie

Dec 23, 2010

If there was ever an anime that could pretty much sweep you off of your feet it would be this classic title. With a beautiful story that can even make the most toughest guy shed a tear (I should know, I'm a complete bastard). The characters were funny and sweet, especially our main protagonist Yucie. Her story alone touched my heart and I know it will touch yours as well, so watch this wonderfully done anime and enjoy.
