[ Daily Review ] Assasination Classroom Episode 16, Final Season.


I never really expect so much from Ansatsu this season, but the latest news and visual details kept my surrounding on who and why. The new visuals revealed ,and the episodes later, who were on the photo.
---
The Reaper and the Teacher.
---
Counting points, I think the past three episodes were really the expected climax. On the fourteenth episode, where Kayano revealed her opposition as the leading cast triggered the building post of the story. Aside from the scene where Nagisa kissed Kayano didnt affect the story well! I believed and in my point of view, I'll give my praise for not overpowering such important event leading to the fifteenth episode. 

The fifteenth, however, was focused on Koro-sensei's past and I didnt get much from what I imagined from a spoil from my classmate to the version of the series. It was rather light from what I imagined and the explosion part were really far by hair. This is where the visuals are revealed. The sixteenth episode, then was the completion. It really made me feel that the series is unhappy to begin with. It was rather the feeling of focal sum up of the first season, their struggles and the like. 

Sixteenth episode is far the best summation of the the series is going to. An after climax.  What to hope for? I dont know. but one thing I was sure for. It's definitely a watch end for the series. 
PS : I think the ost was great in this episode.

[ Review ] Japanese Live Action : Seasons of Love

So I'm back blogging, my PC is running out of storage space so I really have to put everything here and immediately removed them from my drive. Today I'll be covering manga turned live action namely - Heroine Disqualified , I gave my first love to you and The Liar and his Lover. Even though the three focuses on love or romance, it doesn't follow same route I just hope you sure enjoy and take interest of the three movies.
  ( do click the images- it's redirected to watch )
Please bear if sometimes it contains very long explanation. haha.
---
Title : Heroine Shikkaku or Heroine Disqualified
Genre : Comedy, School life, Drama, Romance
Summary :
Matsuzaki Hattori is a female high school student who has a crush on her childhood friend, Terasaka Rita. She believes her life is like a shojo manga and Rita will eventually choose her as his heroine. However, Rita begins dating Adachi Miho, a nerdy girl in their classroom. Even though Rita dated before, Hatori feels that Rita really likes Miho and it is the first time Hatori feels threatened by Rita's girl. Because of Hatori's jealousy, the most popular playboy student, Hiromitsu Kosuke, takes an interest in Hatori.
Rate : 8/10

Post-review: (May contain spoilers)
Frankly, I was practically bored (at first) with how the movie went to how comical the characters are. I was thinking " Ah, everything is exaggerated " and it was really hard for me for this kind of approach. But when the situation changed ( Rita confirmed his dating Adachi and Hatori battled for her Heroine title ) I accepted and immediately get hooked up to the story line.

Heroine Shikkaku is not that far from reality, the characters that tend up to mock the existence of something more important than you happens in particular event of our life. The theme and the lesson well blended together. The movie tended to say " You'll never know how important that thing is until it's eventually fading or it suddenly gone. " Hattori faces that fact when she's been taking advantage her place to Rita over those years. Unluckily, not like Hattori,she was given chances to conquer it all.

The story deepens when Rita's sidestory was added, bonus points to Hiromitsu's passion on getting Hattori's heart. Actually I have read the manga waaaay before yet I was not that good at remembering things so it was still good by hand experience. I still remember the striking line pointed by Hiromitsu-kun to Adachi " Dont you think it's time to play being the victim? " I dont know when it occured to me, but I'm aware of being guilty with it.  The movie too had the same effect. added that I was really creeped out about Adachi on the hotel room (be sure to check what happened). Haha.

The character development and how it ended was good, even more how it gets there. The rainy bridge scene was heart piercing (for a crybaby like me) , the clocktower under lit-candles, the restaurant on festival day were extravaganza and Hiromitsu-kun dating  Hattori (park scene) was definitely the dark horse scene of the movie. It kinda climbed to my senses -maybe they'll ended up together or so. Heroine Shikkaku is something not just-like-shoujo but something accorded to a friendship love to romantic love. Scenes and situations are surreal. 
Ah! I wished I grew up with a boy bestfriend too. Haha.!
---
Title : Boku no Hatsukoi wo Kimi ni Sasagu, Boku no Hatsukoi or I gave my first love to you
Genre : School life, Drama, Tragedy, Romance
Summary:
Takuma, a boy who is told he will die before he's 20, and Mayu, a girl who is in love with him...After Mayu learns of Takuma's grave illness and that he will die before he turns 20, she continues to support and love Takuma. On the other hand, Takuma, who knows his days are numbered, pushes away his feelings for Mayu and distances himself from her. He cannot stand to see her cry or hurt her more than he already has. Then Mayu meets another man who has feelings for her, and Takuma meets a woman who has the same illness, and their feelings for each other begin to waver.
Rate : 9.2/10 (If I were to give ten, I would probably admit that I am that fragile person. Hahaha)
---
Post-review : ( Hint of spoils were included )
If ever you're avoiding to cry or just here for pure love then might as well rethink about watching this or If you're craving for the feels or just a masochist like I do, then go get ready with this.

 Certainly from reading the summary, it'll give you much of the story will turn out and I hold onto it. The movie was quite long and every second wasted was wishful thinking of his living every second. The mood was fun, yet quite dark like how you ride your car out of the tunnel. Rather, how it wasn't as dry as it focuses on prolonging Takuma's life or how the Heroine,Mayu, gives her best to support and love Takuma. 

I would have done the same too, if I were Mayu but not as much as she showed perseverance towards the story's conflict. Mayu's character portrays probably must one have of one of the unluckiest yet luckiest persons in the world. I know the statement may be confusing but try to flavour each words I used. Mayu's character was beyond compare than parental love, It wasnt taken from her nor she runs out of love. The bravest one out there. 

Each scenes were big pieces of what the real heavy drama is like. It's very scenic and script lines were clear as day. At the beginning of the story was the feeling of climax and then as if you're riding at your heart's content on a roller coaster ride! It was one of the good and bad experience. The story's twist was between God-fairly or God-cruelty, No! not in between! The third character/party helped the plot to nourish as if someone's breaking your heart behind your back. At some point it was quite perverted yet mature in sense. It's definitely dramatic, tragic and will have a big impact that there is at some point you have to keep pushing forward. 
I was really wishing and savoring each moments because every seconds here counts, not to Takuma alone but to all the people who probably suffers everywhere in the world. It gains confidence, may burn you alive but because we're human, we continue to live the blessings of getting hurt.
God why you do this to meeeh?! TT u TT

Rate : 8.6/10

Post-review : ( Hint of spoils included, not that much )
Talk about experiences, It was my first time watching action drama (plus it's Takeru Sato's movie) and Liar and lover was a good experience! If I were to compare the three on it's seasonings, Heroine Shikaku is sugar, The Liar and his Lover is the spice and I gave my first love to you is -and everything nice. Haha. 
It was definitely not that typical romance approach to begin with. The setting was very musical till the end. There are some scenes not very benificial to the story, but bearable. Same with Heroine Shikkaku, I've read it before but not as much as this movie have been faithful to the source. The movie covers (only) the dark start of the story, the manga ofcourse fulfills the situation handed but good at every cent. Be sure to check it out too!

The theme under "lies" covers up more than resolving "lies" on the movie. Their first appearance together was very memorable, and give a big impact throughout as he made the story lyrics out of it. Aki's character isnt as hateful as other making-lies other boys have been. As his story begins to unravel so is how not substancial Riko's story. Riko's mere role as his girlfriend and her beautiful voice just supported her backbone to the leaning story. (But take it positively, as it play too a big role!) Third party/characters were really just add on to the story except for Soichiro, producer of Crude play. If it really does happen in real world, or maybe it has been without my knowledge then it's really a shame. 
Music have been the most evident beautiful thing for me, I've always imagine if people were to talk by singing, or ordering happy meals on restaurants , if possible the world would have been in a better place. So as well as the characters revolved their lives being faithful to music and how other people took advantages of something beautiful. The show is definitely a bitter sweet one. It's good for family, friends and lovers out there to watch!

[ Daily Review ] Boku no Hero Academia and Bungou Stray Dogs

I know I should have posted this before I make an official announcement of getting back but, I really want to get things smooth so here's a late pre-review for the two anime series.
---

Anime Title : Boku no Hero Academia
Episode # 1
Genre : Action, School life, Fantasy
---

I know beforehand My Hero Academy or Boku no Hero Academia, it was latter popular by the quarter end of 2015. The rumor of making it into animation was proven when the series got it's own hosting website and preview videos were uploaded , months before the airing. Setting those aside, My Hero is certainly one of the good series to check out this year. Character designs really bring that "manga/comic" side of the story's theme. Deku's voice, the main protagonist, reminds me of Yowamushi Pedal's Onoda Sakamichi, the character's voice really gave the -oomfh-, fragile part displayed on the manga. I will not give anymore further details since I wanna keep my expectations low to a good series like this. Everything is decent.

Ah, It kinda reminds me of Law of Ueki, both of them is JUSTICE DRIVEN. haha. 

---
Anime Title : Bungo Stray Dogs
Episode # 1
Anime Genre : Mystery, Supernatural, Comedy, Action
---

Missing K : Project already? Then this may be the chance to experience it'll over again! ( or so. ) Haha. It was certainly magical, odd and simply loving. There's no to question on designs, episode build up or what. All I have to do is watch the man go wreck, and conclude something out. It's certainly the story focusing about supernatural powers plus being a detective is quite dark but! it's what making your curiosity drive into this anime crazy. Let's just hope for something more. (Hoping there's a stunning bae around)

If it's definitely just like the Kings and all about killing and suicidal terms of the character, I'll freely blog about it immediately! (HAHAHA) (Even I is turning stupid about this anime) xD

I'll be following this post soon. 

[ Daily Review ] Episode Review - Sousei no Onmyouji and Super Lovers.



Anime Title : Super Lovers
Episode # 1
Genre : Comedy, Drama, Shounen Ai

Beforehand, the last time I watch boyxboy was Boku no Pico Episode 1 (I couldnt take it,Im so sorry), the last time I read boyxboy was 4 days ago entitled Cast Heaven and my favourite Ten Count. Other than that, it'' be my first time watching Shounen Ai. 
- - -

    The Japanese words "shōnen" and "ai" individually mean "boy" and "love," which is exactly what shōnen-ai means, boy-love. It refers to anime and manga that focus on love and romance (as opposed to sex) between boys or men (typically bishōnen).

    Shōnen-ai - Anime News Network

    www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=26
    - - -
    Worth the first time, it was very OTOME like, boys dazzling in bright light with perfect picture scenery. Going into details made me felt like that there were omitted scenes in every anime transition. Drama was evident to the lines given, and character designs , the facial expression, chibified and dogs added to the story were just additional points. The team-up by the two male leads reminded me of Hakkenden : Seven dogs of the East ( my cousin loves the series Idk why, havent tried though ). In this case, Ren was transparent than of the Hakkenden's male lead.  The twenty-four minute run time was a nice light experience of a drama under Shounen Ai. I cant wait for more ( with a bit of doubt ).

    Rate : 6.0/10

Anime Title : Sousei no Onmyouji
Episode # 1
Genre : Action, Shounen, Fantasy, Supernatural
---

I have this anime series on my manga lists but I stopped reading at chapter three. Haha. What's more interesting is the sequence of the story, and the color palette used in the anime. I've rechecked the series on My Anime List about the production and studios behind the scene and got me worried. Character introductions were impressive, highlighted on both "twin exorcist". The pacing isnt utmost diffucult to read and it was very Owari no Seraph in decent. I havent clicked with any of the airing series in terms of OST, ED and OP so I'll definitely get back to you on that! I just hope for more decent and add up stories (and cut ones in the manga) next time for the production team!
Definitely will keep up with Bungo Stray Dogs with this one!

Rate : 7.0/10

Just so you wanna know, fight scenes are derp. lol

[ Blog ] Re: re: I am a Digi-babe. Kouji Wada passed away.

News source : Kouji Wada passes away at the age of 42, on April 3 due to his cancer. Fan farewell event moth after will be held at Tokyo by his agency, Solid Vox.

The Japanese singer was diagnosed before on 2003 with a malignant tumor on upper pharynx and a lymph node on his neck but later recovered. He put his career on hold in 2011 after announcing he was suffering from cancer in his upper pharynx and returned after two years.

First. I was just about to grab gif's at tumblr for blogging when I saw a post about Kouji Wada and Digimon's Song ( a video ), saying " Big loss for Digimon fans as the Butterfly's singer passed away last Sunday ". So let my sincere condolences for his family and relatives who were left behind.

If I were to share my encounter with him, It'll be my every arguement with my friends. They were always and will always bugging me that they do not understand Japanese songs playing on my cellphone. But I have one secret weapon to shut them all-- back when we were kids, famous anime like Yakitate Japan, Cooking Master, Zenki, Sailor Moon, Magic Knight Rayearth, Dragon BallZ, Digimon and many more songs were easy to recognize. Every song that there is, it will bring back our youth. Digimon songs , Butter-fly, Seven, Biggest Dreamer is something I will share and can share to them. Kouji Wada, thank you for your song. Biggest thanks from the bottom of my heart.

---

His latest work consisted of performing theme songs for Digimon Adventure tri., the six-part sequel film series of Digimon Adventure. He performed a remake of "Butter-Fly" titled "Butter-Fly ~ tri.Version ~" for the first film, and similarly performed "Seven ~tri.Version~," a remake of his song "Seven" from Digimon Adventure, for the second film.

[ Daily Review ] Hundred Episode 1




Synopsis

"Hundred"—that is the only weapon that can oppose the mysterious life form "Savage" from visiting the earth.
The protagonist, Kisaragi Hayato, aims to become a Martial Arts Master using this Hundred. He managed to get into the battleship university Little Garden.

However, his roommate, Emil Crossford, who somehow knows him well (?), Hayato gets an uneasy feeling.
What's more, just after the entrance ceremony, he gets asked for a duel by the campus' strongest martial arts master "Queen" Claire Harvey...!? The ultimate academy battle begins here!

Opening Theme

"BLOODRED" by D-selections

Ending Theme

#1: "EYES ON ME" by Emilia (Rumi Ookubo) & Sakura (Mayu Yoshioka)

At first impression, I was about not to look at Hundred than Seisen Cerberus simply because it looks Harem and it's mecha. In any means, I was easily able to grasp the situation, the mood and the series trying to bring. They were able to suggest and reason the anime, ( an early comparison to Seisen ! ) 

The sense of comedy was there, the booby service, the loli, the naked scene, the unreasonable third party gives sour flavor to the series. But it's bearable, it doesnt stir up the get up anyway. The character design was somewhat familiar to a forgotten series. ( God, I'm so unreliable haha - maybe Shin-mao Testament[?] ) Also, it's somewhat misleading. Emil/Emilia's puzzling me, a female looking male character. The curiosity will surely stir you up how will this series evolve! or probably there is all to it? Who knows.. I'll just hope for more next episode.

[ Daily Review ] Seisen Cerberus Episode 1




Synopsis

Sword and magic rule in the continent of Kuna'ahn. In this continent are three powerful nations: the Holy Kingdom of Amoria, the Kingdom of Ishilfen, and the Kingdom of Vanrodis, which share a delicate balance of power. Should disaster befall any one of the three nations, war would spread throughout the continent. Also residing there is the feared "Evil Dragon" Daganzord, an unstoppable force that leaves nothing but scorched land and destruction wherever he goes. Hiiro's parents, Bairo and Kismitete, joined other sorcerers in a magic ritual ten years ago in an attempt to seal Daganzord, but failed when someone interfered. The ritual would later become known as the "Balbagoa Tragedy." After being rescued by Giruu, young Hiiro set out to learn swordsmanship so that he could avenge his parents. Now, ten years later, sixteen-year-old Hiiro leaves home on a journey to slay the Evil Dragon, and Giruu feels he has no choice but to accompany him. In the search for the Evil Dragon, Hiiro encounters people of various races who join in his quest to eliminate Daganzord... but will Hiiro really succeed in overcoming the destiny he took upon himself and defeating Daganzord?!

Opening Theme

"Resonant Heart" by Maaya Uchida

Ending Theme

"Xenotopia" by Suzuko Mimori

Without briefing what the anime is about, sometimes I try to search something more specific about the series. Is it about mecha? is there gay shitty lines to make me feel good? or thoroughly spend my the limited time on judging it based from sponsorless tv background. 

Seisen Cerberus or Seisen, started with a heavy scene - a girl being a sacrificial goat to an anonymous being, to be frank with you, I dependently see a H-like dungeon series (hahaha, sorry) and punched out by a deceiving act by the girl character I was immediately out of the daydream. The scene was dark, heavy and still clueless as they implanted more characters on the scene. It breaks through when the protagonist's (Hiiro) father was shot by an arrow. One by one, pieces came together. 

  

---

The first episode left an impression of whole unsolved and escaped possibly hyped scenes. Everything is still a mystery, except for the fact that it'll be probably roam about Revenge and some Escapism - like fan service. If I were to conclude , It was as if a big joke with a piece by piece pick up lines to get you on the mood. It wasn't that bad but it was not that good either. The character's , Hiiro and the Fluffy nya nya biri-biri shoujo, were too pushed for their lines but you gotta love the accent of Hiiro's friends. It was indeed a successful part for the seiyuus to a character's recognition/debut scene.  
Everything was good enough to watch.
Seisen Cerbeus. Weird. H-like. Funny at some point and battle scenes are senseless. XD

So I was away for quater year, been punched by reality, knocked down and here I am guilty by pleasure. ( Yes, I thoroughly ran away from reality at the moment. ) I received a failing grade from my major killing subject and decided to take a long break from school. ( Ah! Just keeeeellll meeeeh! ) LOL.


Aside from getting wrapped up with my stupidity, I'll probably start posting all my watched anime starting where I stopped. (Digimon Tri 1 perhaps) Mostly, it'll be a review or probably all , yeah. ( My eyes are getting sleepy) Also, about the watchlist(Fall 2015), I'll update it one by one. I will probably focus on the series I've watched by that time then, do a special review to the other dropped series that time. 

Daily blog will start today , probably again, I'll make it a wrap up for an early pre-review about Spring Anime 2016. Ah! Okay! My butt's on fire so I'll start posting around the clock. 
(More classic review on the way.)
