Kurenai

Kurenai

Angry loli’s don’t make very good house guests ;p.

Nothing like coming home after a busy week of school and work, even if it is “underground work.” But to come home and find out that you could be a bodyguard for a loli must be nerve wracking considering everything else you must do. But Shinkuro was up to the task, not only to prove himself to Benika but to himself as well.

Shakugan No Shana II

Shana II

Wow, aren’t I full of Shana goodness? Lol, my two past posts and this one makes three Shana posts in a row, total Shana Moe ;p. Anyways, just watched the first episode of Shakugan No Shana II which is the second season continuing from where Shakugan No Shana left off on. The animation looks pretty much the same, the characters do have a little more maturity on them, but lets be honest here, we all watch Shana for Shana lol. Everyone loves Shana from her cute melon pan eating to her Red Hair and Red Eye’s Flame Haze fighting, and let us not forget “urusai, urusai, urusai” ^^.

Manabi Straight-Final Episode (SPOLIER)

Well another end to another anime has come to pass. Manabi Straight was a pretty good anime that is about high school girls that is more of a serious anime about friendship. I really enjoyed the animation in this anime which made me interested in watching it. Well the school year is ending for the girls and they are graduating and going off into the real world.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann also known as “Break-Through Heaven Gurren Lagann,” from now on is known as TTGL, is the newest anime project released by Gainex, the company also known for releasing Furi Kuri, a review on that later.

TTGL is about a kid named Simon who, like everyone human it seems, lives underground for a reason not really clear except for constant earthquakes, which shakes the underground too, maybe its safer underground. He, along with his “older brother” Kamina (Note: In Japan, if you are close to someone who you no blood relations to, like Simon and Kamina, and they are older than you then you can call them older brother/sister) live underground, with Simon preferring it as his villages best digger while Kamina longs to go above the forbidden and sometimes other worldly above ground.

New Start….Melancholy of Haruhi

I was looking at my past anime reviews and noticed that they are nothing compared to the ones I do now. So I decided to redo all of my past anime reviews that I believe are not up to my current standards. Starting off with Melancholy of Haruhi.

It’s a series that started small and has now grown into almost a cult like phenomenon. Although it is a bit old, finished the television series last year, it has gathered a bunch of “Haruhist” cosplayers from all over Japan and here in the U.S. as well. The plot pretty much follows Haruhi Suzumiya, who is also “God” in a human form but does not know it who can destroy space and time if she feels agitated/bored/angry.

Nodame Cantabile

Youtube video removed.

Sorry for the lack of posts, I actually took a full day to recover from Kawaii Kon, the whole weekend just exhausted me…it comes with working and running all around when you are a volunteer. I will post what I bought tomorrow, for now enjoy another anime review. Nodame Cantabile, try saying that three times fast, I can’t even say it once….it comes out like “nodame cometible” when I try to say it from memory.

Getsumento Heiki Mina

Weird name ya, it actually means Lunar Rabbit Weapon Mina, the anime does actually seem to revolve around rabbits (Usagi in Japanese). This anime was actually pretty good to watch, unfortunately they seemed to have stopped subbing it on the fourth episode which makes me kind of sad because its a pretty good series.

There are actually other series of this show but I have not watched it yet. The plot is about a girl named Mina who transforms into a rabbit-style super hero and along with her bunny-outfit wearing team (so weird but funny) goes out to save the Earth against intruding aliens that are extreme sports enthusiast as Earth seems to be the only planet in the whole universe that has sports, o and the aliens are rabbits. Total rabbit theme.

Lucky Star-New Hope

I feel I have done a grave injustice. In an earlier post, I did a highly critical review on Lucky Star, episode 1. Well I thought I would give it another chance and after watching it three times I actually liked it better. I understood what was going on and I guess that helped as I was not as bored as before as I watched them talk away about food.
It was kind of interesting actually when I was re-watching it. So much apologies to Lucky Star.

Manabi Straight

Youtube video removed.

I am really interested in this anime called Manabi Straight. It’s 2035 and the birth rate in Japan has seriously decreased (I assume this will actually become true with the current birth rate decline) and school spirit isn’t what it used to be at Seioh High School, a private school for girls.

That is until a girl named Manami Amamiya, calls herself Manabi and asks everyone else the same, transfers to the school. She practically joins the school in a bang, on the un-official first school day she ran into the school’s fence for the pool with her flying motorized scooter and on the official first day she crashed into the gym doors to get to the welcoming assembly.
