[ BLOG ] Flightless is back !!




---
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.)

[ 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.

[ 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

Then conflicts begin when Aki started to date Riko though she doesn't know about Aki's background except how he hates anything to do with music. The two lives begun to tangle as Riko's band were scouted by the "real" Soichiro.
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!

Any recommendations?
 I'd like to try more out of romance but I'm really picky since my friends really do recommend me gore and I hate those kind. haha. Stomach really comes first :)

I'm looking forward for these movies as well!

[ Review ] No Game No Life - A review

No Game, No Life: A review
 


Synopsis:
Before when we were born, the world, itself, confined us to its own set of rules.

As for the brother and sister gamer, both NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) and hikikomori (complete social withdrawal), those rules considered on the real world is just another "crappy game."  Sora and Shiro, whose reputations spawned legends all over the Internet was summoned by an unknown challenger in a game of online chess. After beating the boy, who calls himself “God” in the alternate world, (being weary to their world) the siblings decided to accept his offer to be reborn to his world decided by games. Journey begins when the two became Humanity’s Hero, (King) to redeem its property and to have the right to challenge Tet “One True God”.

Genre:

Anime adaptations of Fantasy, Game and Supernatural genre banged the otaku community when they released Reki Kawahara’s of Accel World and Sword Art Online (which became hit on 2012). Incomparability to increasingly hope of demands to match these kinds of genres would probably bore the community to wait for another season for SAO: Gun Gale Online airing on summer, but it wasn’t the case though. These genre and demands of fans entirely freshen up mood when No Game, No Life aired this April 2014. This twelve episodes series surely made it to the Top Ranking! Why? Compared to Sword Art Online, It does not closely ape only VMMORPG (which is only the main theme in SAO) albeit the whole concept of GAMES as well. In episode two, the series explains how complicated and scientific simple games are. This attests the reality if we either fall in to the category of being a player or from being a gamer. “You think you know it all? “, It’ll answer you with a sure NO. Yū Kamiya’s work to No Game, No Life is prized to be one of the geniuses with the lineage of anime adaptations to the said genre. Bonus points though, sarcasticly saying, the anime runs with a spoil of mimicking other series that was also streaming then! It was a sure hit if you notice this.



Story:

Being able to reborn in a world decided only by games with the pledges sure is exciting! In No Game No Life, the story regarding the alternate world is prototypical for a fantasy, but with a line twist in episode one given by Sora (“why would a person go back to the messed up world (reality) “ ) ignorance to classic stories drawn you back to the question “we’ll they ever stay up for good?” The approach that the series takes can eventually be a satisfying one, like how comedy (without being cocky) underscores fight scenes beforehand. The point that the series tries to make is simple, complexes by games itself. It’s potential to be considered as a game story suited to the main set of the series. Thus, No Game, No Life, won’t let you lose sight to its goal. Convincing you how games should not be underhand and exploiting the fun. Substantial for its style while encouraging players to be gamers.Character and Development:Breaking down to characterizations, Do not be fooled how passionate not being a virgin is! (Talking to men) Sora, elder brother, with his passion to graduate from being a Virgin is the insane fact how to be a badass for ecchi type! He’s showy brother side, sometimes, too is artful for the flawless beauty sister, Shiro, to work one as Kohaku or Blank. These two combined in a series guaranteed a combo skill of winning your hearts to continue watching it! The races in the series are mystical as well. Random behavior of one character affects the whole circle, shown in episodes 11-12. A flugel, machina , elves, war beasts, imanity etc. etc. is a nice thing to make the story noteworthy like how you play each characters in Otome Games. Selling the series to these characters opens the opportunity to the viewers that the characters are still created by the style of game. Obvioliviously, the character’s moderation of its clear vision to its goal is somewhat lacking but this overlacking had been explained by the end of the episode proving that the vows seen by our eyes in not what it seems to be. The anime series, No Game, No Life, apprehended that this is not a merely game we are in to also the story goes deep into the boundary of being a game. Also, after re-watching the anime,taking note to Shiro’s background is somewhat lacking. Sora’s character is more visible on Blank, underhanding Shiro as his main support character. Is it not Blank supposed to be equal? It will be nice that in the next season they will feature more of Shiro’s passion than Sora’s vision.


Staffs and Crews:
Mad House’s craft have never down their viewers from the past years by giving crucial and artful details to characters and productions. Incomparability of insanity by choosing the color contrast to characters give the feeling of being inside a virtual reality. Madhouse and its crew gave justice to their viewers once again. It won’t be a success too, for the seiyuu who cast out the main and supporting characters. Their shift from serious, mildly epic comedy and determination of voicing out created the atmosphere of enjoying the series, taken back to how Sora and Shiro’s dream casting their dreamy lines (episode 3, when they were in the carriage together with Kurami and Steph) Also, salute to Yū Kamiya, one of the first non-Japanese manga artists to find success in Japan, for his own strategically critical non-biased story of No Game, No Life. The struggle to comply with an enormous talented crew bathed the series to its success!

Music:
Technicality to graphics, the chosen contrasting palette of colors to the character fits the setting of the story, virtual gaming. Also for the  background music giving cretids to the sound director, Jin Aketagawa, back when it’s still streaming, I noticed that from the other series, for example Hitsugi No Chaika, if you started watching this series after No Game, No Life, you’ll find it dry, I could not say also that No Game, No Life’s track is overrated with or without fight scenes. But because of having music on background, it upper handed the other series that was streaming also. No anime that was streamed last season was appreciatively good; it’s just that people do not consider musicality aspect to appreciate better the series; giving points to No Game, No Life. For the soundtrack, It’s one of the good music genre that I’ve encountered, opening and ending were a bit soft contrasting to the each plot driven by a specific episode which is streaming. This fashion, given by the song, eludes the true purpose of the upcoming episode creating a tramp card. Music in their totality brings up the episode by giving them a hangover from pianissimo to fortissimo!

Techniques:



Due to its complexity, is it not a high to see the future like Blank? The character’s spirituality to their God-given-skills and the situation they are in will handed you to provide time quality service that runs in 23 minutes! Unseeingly better for the next season is not to manipulate the past just to give justice to Blank for winning the game. (For example, is Episode 12). It would be pleasing to see the future by giving out details to the present rather than manipulating the past. It would be a cliché if the next season will still use this kind of technique, it’s just that how will it happen.Over all, music is good, character designs too, casting out being epic with its producers having outnumbered successful anime than this, It is recommendable for non-gaming and gaming consoles ! The series itself is born, biased, created by the pledges of being a true gamer. This brain whacking anime will surely leave you proud of being below than others! Feeling of being born as the weakest race, but have given to master defeating the strong will will you to have fun, be excited and be wracked as this anime comes up for another season ! Surely, one of its best features next season is that “Who will first defeat Blank? “Or “Will they ever be defeated?”

This twelve episode series will surely mockingly answer you –

Saa, Geimu Hajimeiyou ! (Okay , Let’s begin the game !)

[ Review / Classics ] Yugi Oh Duel Monsters Genex : Victims of the Fall


Classic #0003
Original Time : 2017/April 18 ( 9:16PM )
Took me long time to touch the blog. Alot have happened in the family, and writing a review for every series I've finished was kept unlocked on my notebook. I will be posting entries at a time to fill the void I've missed. Thanks for your patronage!
---
So ending the entries for February placed for the series, Yugi Oh Genex.

Remarkably, one of my childhood (and probably my generation) was guided with Yugi Muto's Yugi Oh. The influence then, passed on during my highschool for the series Yugi Oh Genex. During those afternoons, the series became my past time after harbouring loadworks from school. The Tagalog Dub (aired on Hero TV) became the familiarity and rewatching it in Japanese version enveloped an increasing doubt.

The decency of Tagalog Dub paves way the fun times. The cut scenes the HeroTV production make a new perspective than the Japanese, as I have thought. Unlike my previous review of Prince of Tennis almost of it's episodes weren't hard to recall , Genex ,however, compiles numerous blurry figures I have to fill and enough to justify my judgement before that it has a good story.

And I was right.

Tagalog dub brought about the story wants to convey. To my growing concerns such as the edited scenes , it wasn't really the heavied case rather how the seiyuu portrays the character. I felt I was saved during those days from " Ano ne. " , " De aru." and "Nya~" chara-catch phrase although into Tagalog Dub characters were made an accent instead. This is the reason I caught myself to a comedy show. Also, it felt idiotic for the dub alone to place a proper distance! Haha. Recalling my side comments years before created another fold of buffoonery. It made my heart flutter, in every pace the scenes bawled a slow-mo feeling (thinking about it now). Those sidecomments reflected my proper age at that time.



Defining how the first part was introduced , I could say less from a painting with contrasts.The backstory of categorizing and building card decks was colorful. Yet the supporting characters vibed bootless, making Judai Yuki's prowess inconvincible (or atleast being defeated by "the Kaiser" doesnt help much). The suprising element those supporting characters such as to demand a drama fedbacks the series positively.

The emotions I had while watching were pacified within three parts. It mainly surrounds sense of oppression that grew to something larger, then shrouded with misery, sadness against own competence.

---
The First Arc : ( The Alchemist and the army )

Few scenes hinted mystery. The issue of missing students and science through the conspiracy treaded to alight. The rapid impact of battling in use of spirit keys to open the gates for three most powerful and destructive cards gives an amount pressure for the resolve. Among those battles, were welcomed by Judai Yuki. For every save button he responded, depicted that the supporting characters left incompetent. Though among, the rivalry against the one (originaly) defending the key to the belligerent termed to be appealing. What lacking in was the proper grooming to the story between the two. The ideology or to gently touched the backstory could be proper. First Opening and Ending used are never to skip of, it gave a lively and entertaining value to bridge the episodes.

After the settled battle opened the curtains for fanservices. It wasn't moe as the industry now. Ha-ha! Fanservices sometimes were relaxing, some succeeding episodes became draggy to introduce me to the next phase.
---

The Second Arc : ( Battle of Heroes )

The second tiptoed the similarities of the deck cards between two persona showered in different environment. Setting it this way, brighten the reality of dueling to our hero, Judai Yuki. Edo Phoenix, Judai Yuki's opponent, who seeks revenge to the death of his father became a large threat.The recognition received from Edo Phoenix's friend and pro manager, Sai, to Judai's talent became a cause for them duel. While Judai Yuki , at that time, rejected the possibility of danger in dueling since he was born in fun dueling. With Judai's defeat to Edo, the animation derails to something extraordinary. I began to wonder the big leap of the deck cards origin. The establishment of space heroes (deck card) left a large hole to the series.

The questions of unsourced development began to skin me more, also for their connection to the main protagonist. I soon took noticed that despite of his achievements in the academy suffers a fair loss to a solid combo. This became unrewarding as he managed to defeat Edo. He is gifted with numbers of lucky draw, I reckoned.

The series on quarter half of the second arc became more complicated as the new antagonist appeared. Sai became the represent for the Light and Judai on behalf of the Darkness.

This metaphor blurs to find it's hidden meaning. I was thinking " How could be the dark the one's protecting while the light wants to decimate? ". Applying it to daily basis is hard to clear.

Dumping that thinking, the series turned to be evident of being dark, twisted and seriously wounding the "fun" in dueling not only for Judai but also the benifits of the supporting characters. This affliction appealed my heart to bring the series to a lighter source. I was disheartened about the outcome and became hooked to the series. Watching the second part of Yugi Oh Genex is where I am watching it for the first time. ( Whatever the reasons I had to stop watching the series during my highschool is a good choice. ) Simply, I was just beginning to the series.

The trials and defeat of the characters ached with demise as the episodes became numbered. With the 40 episodes remaining , I'm eagearly anticipating for the closure. As it steadily paced to Sai's defeat to Judai, other minor issues remained unsolved.
  


Third Arc : ( Victims of the Fall )

Leaving you hanging became reasonable as it added new villains and new companions. The bigger picture seemingly lessens now. The arc revolves around Yuki Judai dependent to his new kouhai which bribes a new perspective to this shounen course. Of course, your second star characters that ascended along from the first ride weight honor roles. The chemistry between them has a nice crisp to it , specially how they will handle the young colleague.

The changes of the third part from the leftovers from the second felt the wide gap. So many issues ran through my mind while patiently waiting to embarked the final journey. The childish air was enamored by these new ambitions. Major point to take was of Judai's past. He who have been blessed by luck and love from the spirit cards was abruptly taken his youth. This situation became dire when they were on an island and the students of the academy were getting outnumbered.

The reflected imagery of Judai Yuki to Johan Andersen landed also with delay. Yet watching two version of Judai Yuki is still entertaining ,with Johan Andersen reflecting the toddler Judai. Johan's character ,also the death of his comrade one after the other, factored to corner Judai Yuki. Judai's choices resulted wrong that lead him to become vulnerable and damaged. He manifested guilt , forcing himself to act an adult. Among those qualities, Johan and the remaining friends of Judai responded with belief and great appreaciation towards the protagonist.


---

In short time, clear as day to see how the show/series exhibit the resolve towards Judai Yuki and what the scene should call for. Yugi Oh Genex successfully on it's attempt to stir the emotions of its' viewers. Also opening certain genres one at a time.

OST's and background music is well thought , more often rejuvinating. The development communicates slow but it was worthwhile. Theme and mood using the deck cards makes the series interesting. The evolution of the protagonist as well as to the audience was rather pushed. The paced of hero to space to the spirit realm was a roller coaster ride. It has it's ups and down. The culmination opens a thought. The characters demanding a drama is a plus. The setting and techniques used on dueling is acceptable. Fanservices are nothing major but, sometimes create a dull moment.

The show is great ! recommendable to the people who drew their interest towards the character's development and journey. The second part gave me more compassion towards the first arc.

Yugi Oh Genex , through and through, turned itself into a good respectable series.

[ 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

[ Daily Review ] Kotomori-san wa Kotowarenai! Episodes 2 - 3

 
 
 
---
Short Review:
I dont literally go for the PLOT, plot.. but it keeps giving me more. The episode runs out with pure gag at the least minutes spent. Some were very light but heavy on the punchlines. Entertaining as it is, It is good as an interval anime show. Probably better than Atashin'chi episodes.

Review:

   I was definitely attached to Orange(Takano Ichigo) manga. It was the manga I used to read when I was about to end my life, and every night was the perfect time to shed tears how painful it is existing alone. Driven to this attachment, my expectations for the film was heavier than it should.

   Directed by Kojiro Hoshimoto together with the respective staffs , the movie has set the mood perfectly. If I were to ask some details on it, the environment where they shoot the movie was perfectly chosen. The setting paced an importance to the manga and the film. Particularly, why it was called Orange. Me and my college friends were left an unanswered when the manga ended. I was thinking most of the time, Orange was probably idiomatic, a sense of lamenting the dead, or probably a taste of those dark days but allas! the film indeed became helpful. The time setting for the film is sagacious named by the fields and trees. I could say it parted the time frame for each scenes.
 

   The difference between the actors and the imagined characters were well-defined. Each facial expressions added remorseful attention to Kakeru Naruse's character. The counted and heavy scenes brought together the emotions to the viewer. Script and exchanging lines were directed at heart. Everything acted as a whole.
 
  Each important chapters from the manga were chosen, although some points were revised. The revision wasnt as bad as it seems, and still felt real to the story's content.
 The moment was definitely eye-tiring, fun and real. I wish that they stick with the manga's ending, though didnt really make of a bad deal. For me, I've really like to see somehow, where they ended up reading each other's note ten years in the future.

[ Season Review ] Just back to 1

   So, It took me a while to get things done and fortunately I found myself free time to give you an update. I'm actually getting active on my facebook page as it hits 2k likes. It's hard to get them eager every post and the like.. Aside from that, I gave most of my time catching up with anime, learning hiragana and katakana. 
Nijiiro Days :

 Getting adapted from a manga, I think it went well. Not so good and not so bad either. The scenes in the anime are depended on its source. Of course, my excitement (cause I have read the manga) didnt subside every passing weeks. It's light and fun, nothing to expect further from all the good shows airing before it.  If I were to stand the series, it breaks out duly from my weekend anime releases. Seiyuus chosen from the series are well characterized, they given justice and life to the lines every character. Point taken, since watching all boys anime at certain times kinda irritates your eardrums just to convince you. Running time on this anime, certainly didnt damage the quality. The anime series came out whole for a shoujo short series. #RIPHorimiyaOVA Lol.

Re: Zero / Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu :

 Remember how cancerous the series is when a certain character gets transported to another world and gets magically healed and coped up with the situation? SAO, Tokyo Ghoul, and No Game No Life rings a bell for this one. It's certainly entertaining and mind racking series. The build up was worth the time, well of course who wouldn't get angry if the story finally solidified at utmost six episodes. ( Build up ? I remember how horrible and at the same time meaningful for the series DRRR!! )

The show is well-written like from a modern author, who characterize his story based on THE BEGINNING, THE MIDDLE, and the TWIST. Everything was at it's height, except for the thing that you have to restart the story , re-re-repititively because your main character dies. Main concept was justified thanks to the back story, well-seasoned. If anything still resides for the story thus the series has the potential to grow more. I dont savour much from it's musical scores, the mood is alive and if it was added, nothing more or less could brighten the light. The series is dark but enlightening, over shadows that Subaru, protagonist, is still foreign for the place. It makes you detest the blessing of being alive (again) while giving your best shot against the butterfly effect.

[ Movie Review ] Kyoukai no Kanata





Information

Genres: Fantasy, Slice of Life,Supernatural

Rating: PG-13 - Teens 13 or older
Source : (MyAnimeList )
Review :

Kyoukai no Kanata has been one of the most demanded come back anime since it has been aired. It plays an imaginary yet treatable plot we could ever dream of. It is perhaps one of the most successful, and well-planned story to be a movie. Kako-hen , although, is a compilation of the entire series, (I skipped most of the boring scenes) caught my attention to cling on it. The ending is something I didnt look forward to, but getting to know more of the next is really exciting.

Mirai-hen, in other terms, is good for it's name as a movie. The episode runs for one and half hours and didnt keep any boring scenes. The plot mood is serious and mystery is kept through out, but the action is a bit lacking. 

I was hoping for the battle of Kuriyama Mirai and Kanbara Akihito (youmu). The relation of each characters is still there and when times that they were somewhat broken is still felt. The script, lines, and character facial design have helped to improve the story build up. Again, it was lacking on/kept hidden on how Ayaka-san and Izumi-san were related. Ayaka-san line was " You cant even ever kill her, I have fight against Izumi-san" as she was talking to Nase Hiroomi, Izumi-san's little brother. I recommend and I hope that there was a flashback, and somewhere on those scenes it'll stir the story between them. 


The movie , we all know and hope for is the feels, did a great job on that. It gained my sympathy, understanding, and longing for the situation to end. Each characters theme was well-pointed, especially to Hiroomi's dedication as a head of the Nase household. More importantly how double-sided each lines the characters says. From the previous series, Fujima Miroku said " We can finally be one. " I was sacked and believed it was a love scenic lines but it isn't. The music scores used is non-catchy , not feeling and has no impact at all but it wasnt just that bad.The setting is okay, same as always but the dark scene, when Kanbara-san said "so this is what Mirai's memories" is somewhat ridiculous, he was wounded and as in his background I didnt know Kanbara-san can soul leap into one's body. hahaha. Anyhow, seiyuu's portrayal syncs from the series. Directors and staffs should be proud of this anime. I guess the most attention would be is on the storyboard. It is well-planned, catching, mysterious, and lovable movie for an anime series. 

Kyoukai no Kanata the Movie is highly recommended on its' fans, shippers and mystery fanatics. I dont really watch series that has a movie, except for Detective Conan. This experience is refreshing and gives me high expectation of who will fall in the same as an anime series having a movie. This movie is conversable to its viewers.

Rate : 10/10

[ Review / Season ] Bungo Stray Dogs S2 : The Frog, the Bird and the Well.



Three days before New Year !!! 2017 !!! cant help but to cram bunch of posts regarding Autumn 2016 anime series. I have atleast written this review as soon as the anime's last episode aired. I was pre-occupied with my feelings and I decided to keep it in check to this day.
--
I once have watched the episode of "Air Gear" , about the frog in the well. Along those lines were, the frog wouldn't be able to know what is that eerie compassion towards the horizon, "anyway". The character who said it , in my humblest opinion, seen himself as the frog whom given up on the tiniest possibility. A HOME.




In contrast with the series " Air Gear ", the frog which is represented by the Detective Agency on the series "Bungo Stray Dogs", haven't given up on the possibility. The frog knows his home, his world. The frog knows he belongs to the well. The bird represents the Port Mafia, whom also knows his home, of course birds are free.  It can stay anywhere, it could exist anywhere yet the entity holds importance of the existence of the well. Port Mafia are free people. They belong to an organization at the same time they are not. 
 Thus when come a time when the well is being threatened, those entities knew coexists with the other , became wary. The invisible force that threatens their necessity held the role of the foreign guild on the series' setting.
