[ Season Review ] Just back to 1/2

So I'm on my Thursday [Spring Anime 2016] review, I have to skip the Tuesday review ( Seisen Cerberus and Hundred ) for the reason that I put them to hold because it wasn't really as good as I have predicted. But it doesnt mean the fact that it isnt worth the watch, Im at the last episodes of Hundred and probably will post it soon.

Sousei no Onmyouji :

      Let's talk about being the favourite, in my life, fantasy and action have brought great anime to watch , underclass of Onmyoujis, such as Kekkaishi and Shounen Onmyouji. Both anime contrasts the time settings and used of powers exorcising spirtual beings. Both featured friendship and hinted it with romance, likewise with Sousei no Onmyouji. 

     Sousei focuses on two characters to bring out romance and be their very best. Their time sets with the present growing together new techniques to polish among the odds of the elderly tasks. The first two episodes impressed me with the maybes { is this the battle between the main at first then proceed with the third party characters or  the reunion of the two separate families ( Benio's and Rokuro's)  against the third party. } since most, comes in group than 1 on 1 fighting enemies. Inferring the character's identity were at present, character's intro were good and made an impact but bleached my stomach for the improvements to swallow. Situation's and character's development are tattered and all over the place, specially the character's design . Everything is in contrasts, where it was good and bad or as both. 

  - There were times that it takes (exaggerated #) 85% of the time frame for fan services and all of the sudden the crucial matter will appear at the latter end of the episode.

  - As much as I'm a visual eater, I've considerably lowered myself watching the series for the plot. I noticed how weird and distorted the designs are when a character'body is featured as whole or on torso level. Frank as it may sound, It was kinda slightly better watching H+ series, where all of the money for the production was banked for the "best part" (only). Everymoment I was wishing the series comes up with 75% of fighting scenes just to get the justice done. Even the opening song is better than the run time. The animation is paltry and selected.

 - On episode 8, they introduced a character, and an organization, I was thinking an another maybe, where (main characters) condition under the organization heads. Of the next episodes they were nothing more but a mention.. It holds potential but they were rated to third. Overall, it became the margin of how weak the main characters are ( and same situation applies as the anime approaches to the 20th episode ).

 - Potential in the making, the dire situation in the anime focuses on the Hinagaki Incident. It was a good reason to start the chemistry of the two, Benio and Rokuro. Mood of the characters started to make sense and closed the bond to fight the big boss. It doesnt change the fact that the anime is circulating the sense where (the main character's important person suddenly puts in danger) , the main character agonizes for being weak, (train for atleast a period of time, with no formal training) and then fight because he thinks he's too strong. Then the big boss came laughing because it's fucking true

 - Selection wise, it's definitely aint that good to watch the series but the mood and character's pressure is there. I was really wishing it was really that good enough to go for the hype.

Next is 

 

(WHY THEY LOOK SO NORMAL AT FIRST GLANCE)

[ Feature ] Character Profile : Prince of Tennis x Super Lovers

So this season, I've got to like Super Lovers because of my big brother complex. Unfortunately, Im the eldest and I've been yearning for a big brother figure. If you found the anime , unappropriate or disgusting in a sense then you might as well forget about it but do not forget to check this article out.

===

Due to that reason, somehow I found something out of the blue.Today, I'll tackle about Ren (Super lovers) and Ryoma (Prince of Tennis)

Ryoma Echizen is the main protagonist of the sports anime " Prince of Tennis". He resided years before in United States and decided to return to Japan where his father is currently living. His good looks and confidence make him highly popular with ladies, although he seems not to notice, having his focus exclusively on tennis. Although his apathetic nature, he does show Sakuno his genuine concern. Ryoma can be quite arrogant at times and, has a habit of forgetting people that he finds insignificant or met for a brief moment. Ryoma also cares much about his family cat Karupin.  

===

Ren Kaidou is the main protagonist of the series Super Lovers. He resided also at United States, particularly on North America, Canada. He decided to stay to Japan because of promise made with Haru. He also has good looks, that makes him popular with the ladies though. He shows his dependent side especially to Haru and to the other twin brothers. He doesnt like or doesnt pay much on other people and does like to take care of wild animals. ( latter in the anime he had a pet dog )

Though Ren is expressive as much as Ryoma, I cant help to see some resemblance to him.

I need an ONNNNNNNIIIIIII-CHAN ! > A <~

[ 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

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 ).

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

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.

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
