So, a lot has happened since I last blogged, however I will finally blog again! I actually finished this particular anime about three weeks ago, but I haven't had a chance to blog until now, So, here goes nothing.
Senyu is a short anime ona series about Hero Alba, one of many hero's who could possibly be the descendant of a great hero who saved the world a bunch of years ago. The king sent out Alba and thousands of other could be descendants (with royal guard) to slay the demon lord once again and save the world.Hero Alba and royal guard Ross meet the demon lord who in actuality is a small child named Ruki who's actually really weak. This anime depicts their adventure.
I must say, that this anime was absolutely adorable,funny, and filled with adventure. So much so, that I ended up seeing it all in one day, (well, it was also really short so..) but I really enjoyed it. A 9 out of 10 for me, and thats only because I kinda wish there was more, I'm intent on finding the manga, or light novel to this, if there is one, because it was so good, that now I'm hungry for more!
It's been a while blogger, but I'm back!!! So this past week I watched Brother's Conflict, an anime based off of a light novel that became an otome game that I honestly thought I wouldn't like, but I actually really enjoyed it's animation.
Yes, this is a reverse harem anime, and for those of you who don't know a reverse harem anime is the opposite of a harem anime. A harem anime is an anime in which the protagonist is a male and is generally surrounded by females who love him, so a reverse harem is the opposite, where your protagonist is a girl mainly surrounded by guys who love her. As the Title of the show states the guys who love her are her brothers, now before you go off on incest let me explain, Protagonist here (formally known as chi-chan) is a new addition to the family being that her foster father married a woman who had twelve boys and one adopted son. I honestly thought it was bad news until I started watching, then I was just like, oh okay, so it's not incest.
The animation for one, was very well done, as well as the vocal talent of Gero for the theme song (which I'm currently obsessed with). It's BelovedxSurvival by Gero, if you don't know him, you will learn to love his fun filled voice.
Anyways, the story revolves around chi-chan, who is going to be siblings with 13 new brothers (I know, at first I was like wow there cowboy, slow down, but it grows on you) Her father works traveling the world and is getting married to his new wife. She suggested that chi-chan live with the rest of her sons in a mansion apartment complex called Sunrise Courts. When chi-chan arrives there she meets the boys and Juli (her pet squirrel? yes, her pet squirrel, when i first saw it I was just like, no! not the weird animal pet thing! but it gets better, trust me)Is off to a heated start saying they have to stick together no matter what. Well, they don't exactly stay together all the time and now everybody'd in love with her.....yeah.
I'm going to be completely honest here, the story was okay, and the beginning was kind of....boring, but escalated quickly. A little too quickly, by the end of the anime the brothers were either throwing themselves out of her harem or being kicked out by her. And there was major hinting at another season, although when that comes out I'll be conflicted to watch it, even though I probably will anyways.
So, no, this is not an anime or game review, this is.....a more personal blog.
So, sunday night I had a restless sleep filled with figmented dreams. The only one I remembered was this one because of how strange it was, and how terrible it was.
So in my dream I'm playing checkers with a very pretty girl.We’re at a glass and metal table with matching seats across from each other. She has straight black long hair with bangs, red eyes, and a beauty mark near her left eye. She's wearing a black, red and white sailor uniform with black thigh high boots. While I'm playing checkers with her she opens her powder blue flower adorned folding fan and begins to chuckle behind. Aprubtly closing the fan she stands from her chair and laughs down at me (classic look down upon you peasants pose with harty laughter) then she tells me "That move was so suspicous, you could call it cancer!" As she says this the background behind her is of an orange crab and a few crawfish with shocked faces. Then, since I couldn't look at her seriosly anymore with that terrible zodiac pun, I look down at the table to find that the game of checkers I had been playing was actually a game of chess.
I find it strange, not because of the bad pun (although that adds to the strangeness) but more because the pun had to do with the zodiac sign cancer, since I'm a virgo. The game of chess or checkers, the entire dream was just strange.
By the way, the reason I know that was a bad pun was because it was a pun that was meant for only me to understand. “That move was so suspicious, you can call it cancer!” referred to cancer in the zodiac which is represented as a crab. Crabs have a habit of walking in a side to side manner, which in a way can be suspicious (when you’re walking side ways it’s usually to be sneaky or hide from someone or thing). Hence “That move was so suspicious, you can call it cancer!”
I asked on of my professors about it as well as one of my cousins and they told me that maybe I didn't get what I want recently or that I've been playing my game to agressively when I should be using strategy, and that maybe I should check what cancer has for this month.
I’ve also received other responses, that maybe the girl in my dream was my opponent and felt like she was in a position where she was losing in the game; that her red eyes mean she’s confident; that she’s the personification of my sketches and devotion to anime, and the like. There have been suggestions that maybe I’m so in control of my game that I was playing chess thinking it was simply checkers, and that the whole checkers to chess ordeal means I’m moving ahead of the game.
I still can’t get over that terrible pun though...
I know nothing of dreams, or dream interpretations, but I'm extremely curious as to what it means. If anyone knows about dreams or hints, or if you just wan to commen a weird dream you've had, or comment on my dream go ahead.
So, the title of this post is definitely a pun. Sorry for not posting for a while, I was in a bit of a manga frenzy, I apologize. Anyways, I just finished up watching Another anime, named Another.
Another is about kouichi Sakakibara. An average boy who arrives into class 3 in his ninth grade year as a transfer student to Yomiyama North Middle School in 1998, and they say that the ninth grade class 3........is cursed.
They say it all started 26 years ago, in 1972, when a boy named Misaki Yomiyama was killed in a house fire with his parents. Being loved by both teachers and students alike, the class was devastated, that is until it happened. When the school in it's entity began pretending he was still alive. Ever since then there has always been an extra person in the class, a person who is not living, and if that person is welcomed into the class, the calamity begins.
Anyone in class 3, involved with class 3, or closely related to anyone in class 3, only in the city of Yomiyama, holds a risk of dyeing. The deaths happen each month and can vary from 1 to 10 deaths at a time.
When Kouichi enters the class he is welcomed by all, except for a certain student. A girl who sits at the back of the class and is ignored by all, at just the mention of her name the class shivers. Her name is Mei Misaki, and she is the person that does not "exist" to the rest of class 3. Unknowing of this, he talks to her and our horror anime begins!
I was actually delightfully surprised with this anime. I only started watching it after my friend practically pinned me to wall and told me he'd never speak to me again if I didn't watch it, but I absolutely enjoyed it. It reminded me of dead man wonderland, with all the unneeded gore and the twisted storyline.
All in all it's a good anime. It sent goosebumps down my spine, and was so suspenseful I saw it all in one day (which would be today). I especially enjoyed how innocent and kind hearted our protagonists are despite the cruelty they go through.
Of course I disliked certain aspects like the strange lack of emotion by Kouichi when a person dies, but it was amazing how i nearly never saw who was going to die nest coming. It surpassed my expectations and shook me up with happiness. Its a gory horror suspense anime, so if you're not good with scary, or bloody things this anime isn't exactly for you.
I have been on a roll, as you can see so here goes.
Mayo Chiki, the story of Jirou Sakamichi, a gynephobic high school boy who one day finds that a butler of a very rich student in his school is in fact a girl not a guy.
Gynephobia: an abnormal fear of women
Our main character's are Jirou, and Subaru. Our more important side characters consist of Usami-san, Jirou's younger sister who's name I forget, Subaru's mistress whom he serves and the captain of the good subaru fan club.
The show starts with the appearance of Subaru and all his fan girls squealing as he does his butler duties. Then you're switched to Jirou's perspective where his friend is accusing him of being gay. This actually happens a lot in the anime, because Subaru is a girl and they do in some way, feel attracted to each other. Also he's burdened with the task of making sure no one finds out that Subaru is a girl.
That's basically the entire anime though, there's really not that much to the story line.
Jirou became gynephobic due to the fact that his father died when he was young, and his mother, who's a pro wrestler, and his sister treat him like a living punching bag.
The series was pretty cute, but, I feel it had more potential than what the producers gave it a chance to be. It honestly could have been better, but it was a cute enough story, and the comic relief was okay. They didn't go very far with the romance though. That made me kinda unsatisfied, but all's good. The world has enough anime for me to keep going for ages.
Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka? is an anime which revolves around the life of Ayumu Aikawa, whom was killed by a serial killer and raised back to life by a necromancer. Ayumu is a zombie who lives together with the necromancer Eu, a masou shojo (magical girl) Haruna, and a vampire ninja Sera. Oh, he also accidentally stole Haruna's magic power so he has to cross dress and use Mystletainn-sensei(the name of the chainsaw).
Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka? Of The Dead is it's second season, which, by the way was absolutely amazing, just like it's previous season.
I laughed so hard watching the new season that I almost died! (lol, zombie joke) Anyways This anime has a lot to offer as opposed to a lot of others. The fact that Ayumu is stapled to the middle of this harem makes it all the more hysterical It has a lot of gory humor, and aside from that it's got some pretty good fan service.
Aside from that a lot of the actual comedy comes out of the fact that Ayumu is a Zombie. With this option we can practically kill Ayumu comically in any way, and he'd still be alive.
Also because He is a Zombie he's practically allergic to sunlight, knowing this he still goes to school, and often times, since he sits right next to the window, he drys up.
Not to mention that Ayumu often times fantasizes about Eu, because she doesn't speak or show emotion, he often fantasizes her to be a lot like this:
Lastly, I can't forget my favorite charter (other than Ayumu that is) Sarsveti! and her obsession with Ayumu's butt, which is quite a mysterious thing.
As an all in all, I thoroughly enjoyed both seasons and it's ova's. They were spectacular and I can say without a doubt this anime is in one of my top favorites.
Oh! by the way, here's a picture of Mystletainn-sensei.
So, yes, I did watch the last two seasons before the first two seasons, but it can't be helped because the first two seasons are pure ONA's (small 1 to 4 minute episodes). A lot of ONA's are most usually based on pure comedy relief and lack an actual plot. However Haiyore! Nyaruani: Remember My Mr. Lovecraft had more of a story line than most ONA's.(then again there is Hetalia)
They were very cute and I enjoyed them all. They had me laughing so hard. Sure these ONA's were made clearly under budget with Adobe Flash, but the art isn't TERRIBLE, and the comedic relief really helps you watch it.
so yeah, you should check it out, it's on crunchyroll by the way and these ONA's will only take you a good hour or two to finish them all.
Yes, I might never finish that visual novel I was playing, but that's okay because so far barely anyone reads my blogs.
Henneko: The "Hentai" Prince and The Stone Cat is a cute little anime that I enjoyed, for the most part.
Here's a pv (promotional video):
Now, I'm not going to make this super long like usual but I will give you the lowdown on the show.
But first things first, I'm going to rant a little bit: What's up with the title? On crunchyroll it's translated as Henneko: The "Hentai" prince and Stoney cat. In Japanese: hentai ouji to warawanai neko. Warawanai does not mean Stoney, and stoney isn't even a word. Literally translated the title says: The "Hentai" prince and the cat which didn't smile.(which totally makes more sense because warate means to smile or to laugh in Japanese, nai being the character which would make it negative to be perfectly translated as Warawanai, or I didn't laugh/ not smiling. Which makes SOOOO much more sense because of the characters and the entire story-line, but we're not learning Japanese here.)
変質者(pronounced as Hentai): Japanese word for pervert
Despite this show's protagonist being a "pervert" there isn't any actual Hentai or Ecchi (Dirty, like in a perverted or sensual way) scenes in this anime. That is to say, I was surprised at how light hearted it was.
The show Starts with our main protagonist Yoto Yokodera (yes, his name kinda rhymes with itself), who is a pervert, meaning he watches porn, has hugging pillows, and has hot chick magazine, which, I have no doubt, most guys have. Anyways he Loves bathing suits and so he joins the track club to get a constant glimpse of the girls using the indoor pool for their swimming club. He does continuous squats in front of the window as to not get caught, but then one day the captain of the track team says He's going to be the next captain for his devotion to the club. Unable to tell the captain how he can't become the next captain he begins to hate himself for always having his facade.
Then his best friend, who was also a pervert, gives Yoto all his porn mag's and stuff saying that he prayed to the Cat god of the stone cat statue on this hill in town. Trading in his hugging pillow in exchange for being a pervert he wished for world peace, and then became a missionary and started helping out homeless people and all that good stuff. Legend has it you pray to the stone cat statue, and it'll grant you're wish, taking it and giving it to someone who needs it.
Inspired by his friend, Yoto goes to the hill with his hugging pillow to pray to the cat god. When he gets there he meets Tsukiko Tsutsukakushi (Try saying it ten times fast, I Dare you.) A girl with a bag full of hot buns (I forgot if they were filled with meat or beans) wanting to pray to the cat god to remove her expressions, because she claims they are childish and get in the way.
They pray to the cat god and suddenly Yoto's belt is gone along with one of Tsukiko's buns. Thinking nothing of it they leave only to find out the next day that Yoto no longer has a facade to keep everyone from knowing he's a total perv, and Tsukiko can no longer express emotion.
They start to look for whom ever has Yoto's facade and tsukiko's emotion, and end up on an adventure together.
I had a lot of fun with this anime and finished it off in about two days. It was cute, and unlike most harem anime's where the protagonist has more than one girl to choose from, This one surprised me with it's end.
*SPOILER ALERT*
So, The ending was nice, Yoto fell in love with Tsukiko, and they actually kiss in the end. I was really surprised they didn't have an open ending like most harem anime's. [Most harem anime's (anime's where the main character is a boy and most of the surrounding characters are girls and are all love interests) usually have open endings (endings where the protagonist can seemingly choose whichever character he wants in the end. There are some open endings that are so open they seem like the protagonist can get away with dating them all) the fact that Henneko didn't have the open ending problem (which by the way is totally deceitful) was a huge positive for my par]
But quite frankly, I also didn't like the ending in the fact that they ended off with a gag. It's not the fact that they ended it with the classic line "Through and through you're a real Hentai-san aren't you?", it was more the way they delivered it. Personally, I felt like they could've had the scene come out nicer.
So, here's how the scene went:
The two are in a Ferris wheel seat thing, and they're talking, Yoto smoothly sits next to her and feeds her what he thinks is a suave line. She's not all that amused. then all of a sudden a rabbit pops up on window out of no where scaring the two half dead. They tumble on the floor of the ferris wheel cart thing and he's on top of her, classic misunderstood-accident-it's-hard-to-explain-but-it's-not-what-it-looks-like-situation. From under Yoto, Tsukiko, then cathes his attention, and they end off with a close up of tsukiko as she delivers the line "I was always aware of this sempai, but, Through and through you're a real Hentai-san aren't you?"
end anime
Yes, this is a picture of the last scene. We end off on this. Well, I mean i guess that's not bad, but it could've been better.
[sempai= senior, upperclassman]
See, I just feel like the gag just wasn't delivered well enough for the end of this anime in particular. I just felt like the ending didn't do the entire anime justice. So I'll show you what I was thinking.
How I would have ended it:
The two are in a ferris wheel seat thing, and they're talking, Yoto smoothly sits next to her and feeds her what he thinks is a suave line. She's not all that amused. then all of a sudden a rabbit pops up on window out of no where scaring the two half dead. They tumble on the floor of the ferris wheel cart thing and he's on top of her, classic misunderstood-accident-it's-hard-to-explain-but-it's-not-what-it-looks-like-situation. From under Yoto, Tsukiko, then cathes his attention, and and then a close up of tsukiko as she delivers the line "I was always aware of this sempai, but, Through and through you're a real-"
Then Yoto would come in closer as he cuts her off saying something along the lines of "a real hentai-san, right?" and close the anime with a kiss.
And that's it! And i ended up making it super long again....
As you can see, I am still not done with the otome-game I was going to review. (it turned out to be really long actually, but I may or may not be done with it by next week, so no worries!....maybe) Anyways, upon reminiscing on Haiyore Nyarko-san, I decided to finally finish the second season. so here goes.
Haiyore Nyarko-san W is the continuation of it's first season Haiyore Nyarko-san: Another Crawling Chaos, which in turn is the full anime version of the short ONA (2-5 minute short show ex:Hetalia) Haiyore Nyarko-san. The show is a bout a boy Yasata Mahiro who is one day out of no where being attacked by alien monster things who wanted him for human trafficking and is saved by Nyarko who is a Nyarlathotep and a deity that is part of a said space organization currently protecting earth.
Nyarko is in love with Mahiro who is an extreme tsundre, but then Nyarko's "friends" you could say come into the picture, and there you have the show.
Characters! The characters in this show are to die for, well I'm just totally bias but, Yes this show is one of my top favorites. (which, just in case you're wondering are: Skip Beat, Ao No Exorcist,The World God Only Knows, and Haiyore Nyarko, so far. I need to organize my thoughts though.) First thing first we have our main character Mahiro! (mahiro-san, Yasaka-kun)He is a bit of a tsundre, by a bit I mean he is a major tsundre, and is the main target of our awkward and a bit strange "harem"...almost. He uses forks as his weapon against Nyarko, and the others and is the main target of all of Nyarko's infatuation, ... except for Japanese entertainment that is. He houses nearly all of our characters and has the most common sense you can say.
Next we have our,...most important character you can say (just cause the title's named after her) Nyarko. Nyarko works for the planetary defense organization to protect earth from criminal aliens, and the like. She is spunky, crazy, violent, adorable, and downright perverted. She always tries a new and creative way to seduce Mahiro whom is ever so tsundre. I'm totally all in it for her, and thats mainly because when I watched this show I saw Nyarko say so many things that I myself had said once or twice before. She's hysterical and in my opinion, absolutely genius.
Next Up is Kuuko, The Living Flame. She is also a deity alien like Nyarko, however the two are sworn enemies. Or at least their supposed to be, but Kuuko is madly obsessed with Nyarko and Loves her. In later episodes though, she takes a liking to Mahiro whom she calls boy (literally, she calls him "shounen" which in literal translation means boy), saying she can fit up to four people in a relationship but only up to four. So the rest of the show she's in love with both Nyarko and Mahiro you can say.
Not long after Kuuko's appearance, Hasuta,"the unspeakable one", comes along. At first Mahiro gets the impression Hasuta is a girl, since he has long hair and is cutesy like a girl, but he's a boy. And Hasuta likes Mahiro as well. Hasuta is very cutesy and we can say he has the most common sense out of all the deity aliens, but despite his cutesy look, he's one of the strongest. Hasuta evidentially, is so strong he used to always stop the constant fights between Kuuko and Nyarko back in space kindergarten.
At school we have Mahiro's two friends: the walking speaker (whose actual name I've forgotten) and Yoichi (whom I like to call "zero flag man")
Walking speaker: she's called such cause she likes to avidly collect gossip and news throughout the school yard.
Yoichi here, is seen mostly as Mahiro's right hand man, you can say.
Of Course there are adults in this show, one of them being Mahiro's very own mother Yoriko. She is actually an alien criminal hunter herself and has what she calls a "sononium" where she has to charge up on hugs from her son in order not to loose her strength. She also has a knack for using forks as a weapon.
Now we know where Mahiro gets it From...
Lastly there's Shanta-kun, Nyarko's pet, whom at first we think is a boy, but hey, we thought hasuta was a girl now didn't we?
Shanta-kun takes three different forms, That I like to call: Badass form, human form, and normal form.
Firstly Badass form:
In Badass form shanta-kun can turn into a huge dragon thing, but he sucks at fighting so he's only used for transportation in this form.
Human Form:
In human form shanta-kun is a girl, this is only for a single episode though.
Normal Form:
Apparently Shanta-kun is very cute, and according to Nyarko, is the reason she has him, her?...
And lastly, the ultimate reason I loved this show was because of all the parodies. In This show Parodies come in Layers and are really hard to get unless you've seen the actual show and know the reference. Well then again this goes for most parodies.
Here are some more obvious ones:
Shanta-kun first appears when Nyarko throws her poke-ball saying "Shanta-kun, I choose you", in a later episode Nyarko attempts to put Shanta-kun back in the poke-ball.
I was quite surprised they had a reference to Castaway in here, seeing that it's an american Movie, but there's wilson.
All in all I enjoyed the second season as much as I did the first and Hope/Pray there be a third season, because I'm about to re-watch the whole thing It's s good. Then again I do seem to be fond of a lot of the shows from TV-TOKYO...
Anywho, That's this weeks blog, And so I leave you with that.
P.S.
I've been seriously thinking about having a schedule for this blog. Like how Youtube is having Geek Week and that one television channel is having shark week....I don't watch t.v., not from america at least, well, not really, not unless it's cartoon network or something. Anyways, Yeah, I'll get back to all of you about that...(although no body reads my blogs.....) but whatever right?
