A Sumo Wrestler's Tail

Nov 8, 2018

Cool short animation movie to be seen in the Studio Ghibli museum! Saw this one in Oct 2018, no idea how long they show it for, or if they rotate their films at the museum? I have heard of other animated shorts playing there, but unfortunately the museum ticket only allows you to watch 1 screening per visit. Even though not subbed, still highly enjoyable for all ages to see the funny story of the husband and wife farmers supporting the sumo mice facing off against the larger sumo mice (i believe come from a wealthy home) and seeing the battle....definitely give it a watch if in the Ghibli museum!!

Mary and the Witch's Flower

Nov 8, 2018

Give it a watch for the animation alone  - absoluletely amazing and definately lives up to the ghibli hype (as everyone was made aware of, the studio that made this film consisted of former ghibli animators and staff) - also as others have mentioned, elements of ghibli classics like spirited away, kiki's delivery service, howls moving castle, and ponyo,  are sprinkled throughout the film, animation is definately the real standout here  Now for the "But" - storywise and charachterwise, nothing really special here, and as for sound i can't really say, i'd  actually watched...

The Garden of Words

Jul 12, 2015

Sooo this movie....watched it randomly this past weekend wth the gf, and i went into it with virtually no expectations except hearing it was good, but was it??? Well just from all the train shots i could tell it was from the same director/animation team that did 5cm per second, hoever this movie was just sorta....meh... Anywayyyy onto the review... **Contains spoilers** Story - 1/10 Could hardly understand what was going on here....all i picked up was: -Teenage boy skips school to go to a park in shinjuku on rainy days - meets an older/middle aged woman there drinking beer and...

Nichijou: My Ordinary Life

Jul 9, 2015

Knew/heard about this anime for a while now, but wasn't until Madman Entertainment (the main anime licencer/dvd production in Australia) released a few teaser videos for it, the main one being the principal fighting a deer :P haha Anyway finally decided to watch it after finding a copy of it at the local library, it pretty much lives up to expectations as a funny over the top comedy/slice of life show, though a bit too random at some times, a show to watch best when your'e relaxing or doing something else, provided enough of your attention is there to read the subs, its surprisingly enjoyable :) ...

The Wind Rises

May 12, 2015

First anime movie I'd been looking forward to watching in a while, Ghibli's The Wind Rises! reviewing this off my first time watching it i usually change my mind (as you do) on ceratain things (for me things and songs tend to grow on me :P ) Anyway lets begin :P  Story - 9/10 I give the story a 9 out of 10, because although very good, there are times where Jiro is dreaming that sorta throw's you off a little (not knowing if its his dream or reality), and also scenes where the movie suddnely jumps a few years without much explanation....other than that its a pretty good story, fun to see him...

Girls Bravo: Second Season

Dec 1, 2013

Girls Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the 2nd review....after reviewing it all those years ago as a 16 year old kid, finally rewatched it few weeks ago as a 20 year old.....lol kinda sad to say rewatching it, that it wasn't entiely the masterpiece i remember watching back in 2010, but still enjoyed it a lot as i did in the frist time, because it was all about having fun, good times, and ecchi ;D story - plotless/episodic anime for the most part (not that theres anything wrong with that imo) lots of funny/perverted/ecchi stuff ;D and of course a few fuzzy heartwarming momnets :) Animation ...

K-On! Movie

Oct 29, 2013

The K-ON movie!!!!! Soooo bit of a hard one to review...watched the K-on series a few years back, then in slight anticipation of the movie to come out after all these years, it was fianlllyyyy released in australia a few months ago i believe  - that being said i probably could have seen it online, but i'd kinda gotten out of the series after a few years, then after watching the movie was good...re watched it better, now rewatching k-on all over again!!! One thing to be sure of though is this is by no means a drama or action packed movie - it is essentially what k-on is - relaxed, cute, slice of... See full review

Summer Wars

Oct 4, 2013

Sooooo heard quite a bit about this movie ;) did it live up to the hype? Bit of yes and no, great animation the whole way through no doubt, story started off great imo, but then got a bit old/cliche'd and dragged on a little bit - plus there were quite a few irrelevant parts in it - e.g. i fail to see what part the baseball tv watching scenes played in almost the entire movie, they didnt necassarily effect anything or slow anything down but was more like what is this? why is this here? haha ;) anyway on to criteria stuff.... Story - 7/10 Started off great, but then slowed down a lot, and then kinda... See full review

Porco Rosso

Sep 28, 2013

Porco Rosso!!!!! as guessed from the name, based around Italy/ the adriatcic sea, based around sea planes/ aviatyion, etc - Il'l admit i actually got this a few months back, but hadnt watched it till now, mostly because i hadn't heard much about it other than brief plots and some reccomendations, but i can defs say this is one of the most underrated Ghilbi films, and i enjoyed it as much as Spirited away, howls moving castle, and princess monoke! ;D Story Real old school story, a lot of it imo is really open to interpretation, and even at the end some things arent really answered (or answered clearly...

Yamada's First Time: B Gata H Kei

Aug 14, 2013

hmmmmm stuck in the middle with this one.....randomly checked it out cause had been wanting to see it for ages -  was better than i expected, but then at the same time not as good as i expected Basically the plot highlight doesn't really do it any justice, Yamada says "she wants 100 casual sex partners" where in reality she is to shy to "do it" with any one, and from the first ep chooses her "cherry boy" who she pretty much falls in love with ;) still pretty perverted, but nowhere near as ecchi as you'd think - nudity is only ever shown in the last ep ;) other than that...

Fullmetal Alchemist

Aug 7, 2013

So..........why the 7 out of 10? well still definately a good anime, but probably more of the fact i watched FMA Brotherhood before this one "the original" (even though brotherhood is technically the original, by following the manga) and as a result, by watching the same anime , yet far less action packed, and a lot slower paced, left me pretty dissapointed....no Ling, no Fu, no true envy form, no Olivia armstrong, no shadow monster, hell they cut the entire briggs arc out! :( Story - well written, but in comparison to brotherhood shortened a lot....also Very different animation - solid...

Pokemon Movie 15: Kyurem vs. The Sword of Justice

Jul 10, 2013

Despite the horrible promotion of this movie (the only way i even heard it exixsed was through a random as email from beyond entertainment) then checked the trailer to see the same english voice actor as FMA's Edward Elric!!! and the trailer looked pretty good as well, but did it live up to expectations? short answer - no, in my opinion pokemon movies recently going a bit down in quality/originality, etc,etc, and this one only had team rocket as random easter eggs/ spot james and jessie in disguise - no roles of any kind :( plus having the same voice actor as fma edward elric just made me want to watch...

Ok actually watched this anime quite a while ago, but still remember it.....or what of it is relevant - (ill get to that later) but anyway just want to say usually i dont like doing negative reviews, but im just doing this one...casue arrrrr it was annoying cause i Could have really liked this anime and really wanted to - well that also ties in with the reason that youre watching it- When i watched/was reccommended to watch seto no hanayome, i was watching it as like a comedy/romance anime, but then....arrrr like comedy pretty much took over the entire anime with everything completely wayyyy over the top...

K-on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! one of my favourite animes!!  the cuteness, the songs and just everything about it :) although some people may say "its just them being cute the whole time" which is kinda true, but it never gets boring, and always stays so good :D and i especially love how the openings are them playing their music at school and then the closings are like actual music videos! :D i guess it hasnt got a really big story/plot but as i said before it never gets old and always something new happening, the animation is pretty good :) i like the style, and the sound...

Redline

Redline!!!! possibly the anime movie of the year, and definately quite deserving of the name, although dont let the 2010 release date fool you, i belive this was actually started in 2006 or 2007 and has only just been finished, and for australia, was only just relaesed on dvd early december 2011 anyway as for the story, i had read and heard a lot of hype and praise for redline before i watched it, mostly for its animation and story - which i admit i wasnt all too excited about after hearing it was about racing,(not really my favourite genre, but that may be because ive played far too many bad car racing...

Deltora Quest... an anime made off the Deltora quest books that i read during my childhood!!!!! although many people say this is a bad/not good anime, i still wanted to watch it reguardless, but i was kind of swayed by all the negativity about it, - (which i hate to admit) so when it was actually aired on TV i just thought i'd watch it later on computer.....but then i still saw many small scenes from it on tv, i was basically hooked when i saw the similarity to the books, the episode i saw was with the riddler guy guarding the bridge, and the thing about combining truth...

Although a really good anime movie, im not sure, ive just got mixed emotions, because on one side, its a pretty good anime movie,with this weird other spirit/alice in wonderland type world  and on the other side, its this major must see hyped x 1000 movie, which is probably the reason it wasn't as good as i expceted, for me it was overhyped by my friends, family, pretty much everyone to the point where it never really lives up to expectations, that, and the fact that i had pretty much no idea what it was actually about, i was actually expecting a story similar to the book dragonkeeper (which is a...
