Description:

Nina Yamada is a junior high 7th grader who dreams about a boy who is strong, handsome, and kind enough to protect her. One day, Nina “accidentally” swallowed a Crystal Pearl that she assumed was a candy. But the Crystal Pearl was the goal of a sorcery examination. Nina is the new Crystal Pearl which is targeted by many probationer sorcerers and goes on for half a year. During this whole mix up, she meets two magician boys named Zero and Ichi and comes to a conclusion that they can protect her until a potion is made to remove the Crystal Pearl from her. However, this potion will take about 6 months to complete. Even at school and at home, Zero and Ichi protect Nina where ever she goes. Now, not only is Nina being attacked and chased around by a group of magicians, but she has to figure out which of her two protectors she likes most!

 

My Review:

I remember this anime from so long ago! The english dub is pretty good too. But it looks like she didn’t chose either Zero or Ichi. Haha, that makes sense, in Japanese, Ichi means One. XD Anyways, I think she chose Zero…..but the end was also confusing…. I don’t remember it clearly. She probably made a baby dragon by taking the Pearl out of her. The opening is attracting because of the sweet voice, haha. Rating this a 9/10.

Genre: Action, Drama, Fantasy, Psychology, School Life, Seinin, Sci-Fi, Supernatural, Tragedy

Both anime and manga in 2011

Description:

In the city of Mitakihara, the “incubator” Kyubey encounters a 14-year old girl named Madoka Kaname and her best friend Sayaka Miki. This small, cat-like creature offers a contract in which a girl can have any wish granted in exchange for becoming a magical girl tasked with fighting against witches. Meanwhile, a transfer student named Homura Akemi tries to stop Madoka from becoming a magical girl at all costs. As Madoka contemplates becoming a magical girl, she learns that a magical girl’s life is not as glamorous as she thought and is filled with anguish, suffering and despair. Madoka soon learns that not only do magical girls give up their souls to form their Soul Gems, the source of their magic, but when those Soul Gems become too tainted with despair, they transform into the very witches they fight against. Madoka also learns that Homura is a magical girl from a different timeline who had repeated the same month countless times in order to try to save her from a grisly fate. Learning all of this, Madoka decides to become a magical girl with the wish to stop witches before they are created, which rewrites the laws of the universe, resulting in Madoka becoming nothing more than a concept and Homura being the only one who remembers her in the new world that is formed.

 

My Review:

The transformations are different and they show lots of details. It’s sad too….Made me cry my eyes out! If I was in a cartoon, my eyes be in my eye sockets right now! Well…..Actually, I’ve never watched it, I only saw the transformation, episode 1, fights, and deaths. STILL! It’s pretty AWESOME! Close this site, search up the anime, and WATCH IT!!!! Ok, let me get to the real review, the animations aren’t that bad and the plot is fine, it just that I think this anime may have some Yuri in it to! It’s just so awesome how this manga get regenerated in to a anime so FAST! It must’ve got popular when it just got out! Rating this a 10/10!

Lovely Complex by Nakahara Aya

Genres: Comedy, Drama, Romance, School Life, Shoujo, Slice Of Life

Anime in 2007, Manga in 2001

Description:

Koizumi Risa, current height 170 cm. Her last name is translated to “small river”. A girl taller than most other girls her age.
Otani Atsushi, current height 156 cm. His last name is translated to “big valley”. A guy way below the average height of a high school boy.
Because this, they had bad blood towards each other.

Later on, Koizumi Risa and Otani Atsushi start relying and helping each other with their own love affairs. As love failed for the both of them, a bond of friendship was formed. Along the bumpy (and comedic) road of friendship, Koizumi Risa fell in love with Otani Atsushi!…Go figure!

 

My Review:

This anime is just so funny! It makes me laugh so much sometimes!! I can still remember the funny moments in my head and each part! The live action was what surprised me but this review isn’t about the live, it’s about the anime!

What made me watch this anime was the description. My first time reading it and I was like,”WTF??” but I was thinking about not judging an anime by just it’s cover, description, or episode 1 so I watched it up to episode 5. It was PRETTY GOOD!! It’s a comedy romance which I really love and the first one I reccomend! The art is ehh…but the plot is good!

Rating this anime a 9.5/10

 

Kyoukai no Kanata

Kyoukai no Kanata by Nagomu Torii OR Jukki Hanada

English: Beyond the Boundary

Anime in 2013, Manga (Light Novel) in 2012

Description:

In a world where supernatural beings known as youmu are hunted by Spirit World Warriors, Akihito lives an eventful life. He’s a half-breed from a human mother and a youmu father, and is immortal – a fact that saves his life on a regular basis, for his bespectacled classmate Mirai can’t seem to stop stabbing him in the chest. She’s a Spirit World Warrior with the power to control her blood, which she manifests into a sword; and with low self esteem about her abilities to hunt youmu, Mirai constantly uses Akihito as target practice. In hopes of being left alone, Akihito must now help Mirai gain confidence to take down sinister youmu.

 

My Review:

I’ll say this anime is a bit confusing but at the same time, it’s awesome! The action is very colorful and what I mean by that is NOT the girly one. Its the magic like Fairy Tail that makes the action awesome. Some episodes and parts were REALLY confusing, I didn’t get what was happening and the names like The Call (I think it was called) and Beyond the Bondary doesn’t make any sense. What I mean is that the anime doesn’t describe enough information, is BTB (Beyond the Boundary) a monster that WANTS to destroy the world? What is it’s powers? All the anime tells me (or us) that “You have to kill Beyond the Boundary”.

What made me interested in this anime was that I have liked the page but never watched it until yesterday. That’s not the reason I was explaining about, the real reason is that it’s a bit like Blood C (which I have never watched before but the blood turning in to a sword is similar in both animes) and I really wanted to watch an anime with something like blood being turned in to a sword. Yes, I did force myself to watch this anime but I only recommend it to people that are anime watcher smart and can understand a awesome but confusing anime like this.

Another thing, it’s a bit like Noragami, when they did the ablution on Akihito is similar to doing the punishment on Yukine.

Rating this anime a 8/10. I guess the author wanted to combine a few of his favorite animes together but I noticed it. Or is it the opposite? (Noragami copying KNK?)

Gimmie Chocolate

by

 

Group: Babymetal

Singer: Suzuka Nakamoto

Agency: Amuse

My Review:

I could say that when I started the video, I was very suprised by the guitar. It was insane! When the chorus (I think) came, the part when Nakamoto sings ‘Chocolate’ it was my favorite part. Just then, I thought the guitar ruined it all. Actually, the Metal ruined it. Metal isn’t my kind of music. The MV was fine, it’s just that, seriously?? A 16 year old and two 14 year olds!!

I came through this song by watching The Fine Bros’s video of Youtubers React to Babymetal. When I saw one of Babymetal’s songs, I absolutely thought that I was going to be fine with the song and ignore the MV but…I found out about the lyrics, it’s a bit weird…Especially for this MV.

The singers are actually kind of good! I loved how they sound in front of a 9000 people crowd…Dang…That many people is a fan of Babymetal?? I’m going to maybe become a fan soon…!

Sorry if this was a short one! I will do another one of Babymetal later.

Rating this a 4.5/5.

Kuroko no Basuke (1 & 2)

by

 

Kuroko no Basuke by Fujimaki Tadatoshi

English: The Basketball Team Kuroko Plays In (OR) Kuroko’s Basketball

Genre: Sports (Basketball), Comedy, Drama

Anime in 2012, Manga in 2008

Description:

The basketball team of Teikō Middle School rose to distinction by demolishing all competition. The regulars of the team became known as the “Generation of Miracles”. After graduating from middle school, these five stars went to different high schools with top basketball teams. However, a fact few know is that there was another player in the “Generation of Miracles”: a phantom sixth man. This mysterious player is now a freshman at Seirin High, a new school with a powerful, if little-known, team. Now, Kuroko Tetsuya, the sixth member of the “Generation of Miracles”, and Kagami Taiga, a naturally talented player who spent most of middle school in the US, are aiming to bring Seirin to the top of Japan, taking on Kuroko’s former teammates one by one.

My Review:

I’m not usually into sports anime because they have no romance in there but when my interests started to turn towards basketball, I thought that I should watch a anime about basketball and it was Kuroko no Basket. At first, it was only for that but I realized that I was getting in to it because the matches and their skills in basketball impressed me. I DID learned more about basketball the more I watch it. How a rebound works, using your strength to throw a 3-pointer or a shot across the court (Midorima), and copy people’s skill (my all-time anime crush: Kise). This anime involves around basketball matches and getting the Winter Cup. The matches are totally INSANE! Like, I don’t even know how you past through people so fast (Aomine)! And do the Vanishing Drive (Kuroko)! I don’t even know how Kuroko does that…..He runs when the opponent blanks but don’t they blank fast?? Anyways, if you’re into sports anime, I really recommend this anime! I rate this anime a 10/10!

Junjou Romantica (1 & 2)

by

 

Junjou Romantica by Nakamura Shungiku

Genres: Yaoi, Romance, Comedy

Anime in 2008, Manga in 2002

Description:

Takahashi Misaki is suddenly having some unexpected and odd problems. What started as a need for some college entrance exam tutoring has somehow led him to being romanced by a suave older man who also happens to be his big brother’s best friend. Confused by all of his brand new emotions, Misaki struggles to deal with his suddenly very odd life. And if that wasn’t enough, his suitor, Usami Akihiko, has plenty of issues of his own. A man-child who decorates his room in giant teddy bears and toys, Usami is a famous novelist who also writes steamy boys’ love novels on the side. When Misaki cracks open one of these books and reads sentences like “Usami licks every inch of Misaki’s hot body”…well, let’s just say that all hell breaks loose.

Kamijou Hiroki is a broken man, consumed by unrequited love for his childhood friend, Usami Akihiko (the boys’ love novelist). Along comes Kusama Nowaki, whose name “Nowaki” means “typhoon”, an orphan working his way through life since middle school. Like the typhoon he is named for, he whirls into Hiroki’s life and heart, blowing all resistance away before him.

As fate would have, Miyagi You (the professor that Kamijou Hiroki works for as an assistant professor) and Takatsuki Shinobu, Miyagi’s boss’ son AND his ex-wife’s younger brother, would cross paths. Shinobu, who says whatever’s on his mind, tries to break into Miyagi’s world, saying things like, “its destiny!” While the 18 year-old tries to invade Miyagi’s world, the 35 year-old still harbors a deep-rooted love for his late teacher. Being the Terrorist he is, Shinobu breaks down the walls that Miyagi has caged himself in, dramatically changing the Professor’s heart and demanding Miyagi take responsibility and face destiny.

My Review:

This excited me because it was made by the same author who made Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi!! Twelve episodes in each two season. So at first, my cousin recommended this anime for me (I was 9 that time, don’t even ask) and I watched it and was like,”EWWWWW! It’s too gay for me.” I know I went against gay people but now at this age, I’m starting to like Yaoi more so I’m fine with any kind of relationship. Even though this anime is old, this is still my second favorite Yaoi anime! (SPOILERS ALERT) What interested me was how Misaki (the main character) has to live with Usami when Usami still loves Takahiro (Misaki’s brother) but then Usami and Misaki starts to have a REAL relationship and then next it goes in to Usami’s family business. Now things are taking in to a real serious turn when Haruhiko (Usami’s brother) starts to like Misaki! I’ll rate it a 9.5/10 because the art/animations are old but the plot still pulls me in.

Jikoku Shoujo

Jigoku Shoujo by Etoo Miyuki

English: Hell Girl

Genres: Horror, Psychological, Shoujo, Supernatural, Tragedy

Anime in 2005, Manga in 2006

Description:

In the first season, the story soon follows a journalist named Shibata Hajime, a former blackmailer, and his daughter Tsugumi who shares a strange connection with the Hell Girl as they investigate the truth behind the Hell Girl.

Later, the plot centers around Takuma Kurebayashi, a boy who is blamed by his townsfolk for causing disappearances around the town that are in reality caused by the townsfolk using the Hell Correspondence. In the third season, Kikuri returns to recruit Ai’s assistants along with a yōkai named Yamawaro, who accepts an old offer from Ai to become her fourth assistant. The story follows Ai’s mysterious possession of a young schoolgirl, Yuzuki Mikage.

My Review:

There is an live action to this meaning this anime is very popular. First it was a manga, people want it to be an anime so now it’s created in to an anime, then a live action! My book Princess Hell Girl was dedicated to Hell Girl because I love horror and it is the first horror story I ever made! I think Jikoku Shoujo tells you what good and bad you’re suppose to do. The people who want revenge go to Hell (also the person that they wanted dead) of the deed they did. They deserved it! I wouldn’t go THAT far to kill someone if I had a grudge! In the live action, I thought Hell Girl was a 5th grader but I was wrong, she’s a middle schooler (?), I would’ve fit that desription because my hair is long all the way to me butt and Asian! Rating this 9/10, not good enough for a 10 yet!
