Blood +

First thing first, the anime was a bloody hell. She turn berserk and kills every moving creature regardless of what they are. However after 30 years of hibernation the most deadly weapon the military made turn into the most delicate teenager whose life devotes only to live in a normal high school girl. Haji, Saya’s faithful chevalier appears and somehow helps her recall everything that happens thirty years ago, and even the day she became human and turn herself into a vampire which made her immortal.

Moving on, as the she about to unfold the mystery of her past she was caught into the most dangerous situation which she have done a few decades ago. As she found out what happen she realize that it was also her fault to let Diva (her twin sister, which is also her ultimate villain) free from her cage and kills every family she has.

Furthermore, with the help of her own foster family which, later on, became her only hope to correct her mistake at the same time guide her to the right path. She lost her dad, her little brother and comrades while battling with so many chevaliers that protect her twin sister. Even so, she was about to sleep again for another thirty years, she still strive to finish what she have to do in order to bring peace in the humanity.

In Addition, before she was about to kill her little brother and her twin sister’s newly born children – they are also twins – Kai interfere and told her she was about to change her failure and by doing so they let the children live and guide them as how she was guided by their father, Haji as well, for the first and last time she disobeyed Saya for the greater good.

Saya and Haji

After the fight against her twin, Kai brought her back where she began. Every year Kai and the twins visit her place to check on her. Haji as well paid to visit her. By the way Haji even if he is a property of Saya – she bought her to become her personal assistant way back he was a kid – fall in love with her. And willingly give up his life just to protect and accompany her wherever Saya wishes to go.

Now as for the story, it was heavy, the fighting scene, the love story and the rivalry, the companionship among the characters, the quest for freedom and the overall plot. It was remarkable although it was not a good recommendation for young audiences. Nevertheless the flow of the story is very concise, there are no wasted times. It was ingeniously written and directed. All the characters have their meaningful part, even Mao (Kai’s determined girlfriend who was persistently looking for him) have a very unexpectedly role which I thought, personally, that she was just a total side story – which usually led to fillers – but fortunately she became a real part of the overall plot. The Schiff as well have the situation, although I already expect that there this always a failure subject in the experiment, which most of the time they became the lead character, however in here they only became the supporting cast. That is good somehow.

Finally, I watched this series with a serious and well-focused attention that I only do if the anime series is my personal interest. And only realize it after finishing the whole series. Because at first I wasn’t feeling watching this one because it was too dark, and the scenes always happened during nighttime, and I had a problem watching dark scene, because I hardly recognize their features. But fortunately it turned out well and I was enjoying the show. And for the rating I give 8.5/10. Fair enough, since I don’t give a hundred percent for the rating, because I allow my self to discover new anime series every now and then. So I just give you the opportunity to decide whether to give a perfect score for this. But for me, this is one-of-a-kind which truly consists of a good character and a good storyline. Thank you for making such a good series like this.

Zombie Loan

Zombie Loan, as what I have read, this anime seems like death note, particularly misa-misa ability and the other two lead characters seems like, L and Light, though they don’t have feelings on misa-misa, but somehow it looks like it. And another thing, possessing a shinigami eyes also like d.gray-man although, they called the wandering souls as akumas who have been created by the person’s desperation. Calling Chika as a boy-B and Shito as boy-A it sound like B1 and B2, the twin banana, forgot the title of the TV show. The chain’s at the opening theme was like Kurapica’s chain, woah, i wonder when plan to make a continuation on hunter x hunter, I am really looking forward to the next arc, I read the manga it was really a new adventure, a new villain of course, but some characters have shown up again.

Anyways, speaking of the Zombie Loan, we might as well talk about the storyline. The story revolves in the life of girl who possesses a shinigami eyes that allow her to see the people’s destined death, which normal people could not see it. As what she see, a gray ring has lace in the people’s neck and it darkens over time , which means their death is approching. Chika and shito, this boys’ ring have laready turn black yet they are still alive, that is when she knew about the organization which allow them to live but in return they are working to hunt down the zombies that are wandering around. After getting involved by this two boys Michiru’s life turns out be be more complicated.

Despite the short episode, i think the story is well elaborated and it goes smoothly, unlike Gintama, i have the first episode but I don’t think I can spare a time for that series, well if you watch gintama I supposed you rather watch get backers or if you want a silly anime try school rumble.

Moving on, regarding the graphics it looks like vampire knight. The flow of the story was clear and revealing yet mystery still on it’s way to discover the deepest meaning of the characters. Their style on giving importance to the characters is quite amusing, i have seen some of the anime that they never include background people around, and if they put it was clearly uncool, it was just they don’t feel adding them in the scene, but rather not including them or poorly drawn them, the creator finds it way to make it more realistic, and adding to it’s feature the creator made the them as a focal point.

Now let’s enjoy the series… see you next time, sorry for the abrupt ending, but I guess, i write more next time… see you. Anyway here are the three lead characters of the story. And I’ll try to add their picture as weel next time. Jaa ne.

Michiru Kita – Michiru possesses Shinigami Eyes, which allows her to see a ring on a person’s neck, indicating their impending death. However, she has hated her gift ever since she saw dark rings around her parents’ necks, who died in an accident after the rings turned jet black. She now wears glasses that can subdue her gift, allowing her to live her life normally. Although, since the death of her parents, she has felt a numb complacency with life, living it out, but having no will to achieve anything or even care if she dies or not, an attitude which disgusts Shito.

Chika Akatsuki – Chika is referred to as “Boy B” or simply “B” (“B-san“), titles which greatly irritates him, after surviving an accident with Shito, known as “Boy-A”, six months prior to the start of the series. His attitude is rather lively, but he is also short-tempered; he is often seen beating Michiru for her various failures. He began to have feelings for Michiru.

Shito Tachibana – Shito is referred to as “Boy A” or simply “A” (“A-san“) by most students in his school. Due to his looks and attitude, he is seen as an idol by the female students, though he seems to not care. He is generally a much more approachable person than Chika, but certain situations and people cause him to act cold and indifferent; when Michiru first told him that she had no real will to live, he told her how disgusted that made him feel, going on to say that he believes she does not deserve the right to live but begans to warm up to her and grows feelings for her.

Review:

I have watched this a year ago and forget about it already. I thought I deleted this file but when I looked at the drive F of my computer I found a lot of movie files and to think most of it is anime movies that I downloaded. Yeah I just download it.

It was fun watching this side movie it is completely different from the first two movies I have watched. The story is simple and predictable – Someone tries to over-thrown a ruler then they tried to rescue him from the villain, and in the end they make a new different friendship bond, the usual Naruto story – yet it is interesting. The way the creator conceptualizes the story, the cinematography and even the characters is impressive. Naruto characters are also unusual. They wear a different outfit. Kakashi wears a shirt underneath his uniform. Naruto wears a wrist band and short. Sakura wears a shorter shirt – I guess, can’t really distinguish the difference between her usual dress though. And Rock Lee wears a short. And speaking of Rock Lee, I wonder why the creators decided to put him on the team – this is during the time when Sasuke left Konoha.

Moreover, after this movie they introduced a new team policy. Teams are mixed up with other teams making a different combination. It was a great idea it makes the story truly remarkable and cleverly written.

Naruto has been unbeatable with other new anime series that has been aired since last five years and to think Naruto is still going better and better especially the Naruto shippuuden.

For the ratings I give 8.5/10. Because this movie still does not compare to my all time favorite anime film, Yu yu Hakusho, it was release back in 1999 here in the Philippines, if I was not mistaken. I give 8.5 because it does not contain any serious matter that really needs an attention unlike yu yu hakusho, it has a concrete storyline – no wonder why it was also the best anime I ever seen since I was still a kid.

I hope to see watch another Naruto movie again next time. See you.

The Birth of Guardian Chara

The most fearful ‘cool and spicy’ Hinamori Amu is regularly grade 5 student who attends classes at Seiyo Elementary.

In the beginning of the story Hinamori passes by these two bad kids who are trying to bully their lowerclassmen. Her pinky clothes, her bossy attitude and the rumors that every student of Seiyo is talking about becomes Hinamori’s fearful asset that every students don’t want to messed up with her. The boys were stunned when they saw her standing right in front of them and even without hearing a voice from her they feel sudden inferiority and run away. The small kid was amazed by her and become her fan however Hinamori is not the person they know about.

All kids hold an egg in their soul. The egg of our hearts, our would-be selves yet unseen… The narrator says.

Her classmates is always talks about her, her famous magazine writer mother, her ace photographer father and the clothes she wear is just way too cool for them to amazed of. However deep inside of Hinamori’s is something that anyone doesn’t know about it. In their house while they are eating they watch the never-betraying psychic Miss Nobuko, she is discussing about the guardian angels which Amu doesn’t believe. Miss Nobuko reacted in every single word that Amu utters. Then after Amu feels fear and go straight to her bedroom.

In her room she is sweating and couldn’t imagine what she heard in the TV. Then she thought to herself that in reality she had a more than one character but neither one of them is being shown to people. She remember that first time she went to Seiyo elementary she tried to be simple but she couldn’t do because she is shy but then students still feel astonished by her. And as she thought about changing her attitude to more like herself she realizes it that people will no longer like her so she pray to her guardian angel, without realizing it, to be reborn and become more courageous.

As she wakes up, she found three eggs in her bed. Her father takes some picture of her little sister while she is singing, as she goes to their dining table she also found and two sunny sides up in her plate. She wants to talk to her mom but afraid. She goes to her school worrying about the eggs she found in her bed when suddenly the girls are making noise about the arrival of the school guardians. Her classmates approach her and start talking about the special student council, the guardians, but Hinamori was not fascinated by it however she likes the prince though. As she denies it, one egg moves – the pink one.

Tadase then saw that Hinamori is holdin an egg, and not just one but three eggs. He approaches Hinamori but she acted a tough. The students are mumbling about their first meeting and were shocked when she refused to talk to him like normal kids would do. But in her alter ego she thought it was a stupid mistake and the worse thing she could ever to the guy she like. Tadase and the other are talking about the person who will hold the three chara and will inherent humpty lock.

On the Other hand someone notices the appearance of the successor of humpty lock. He then went to some place where it was hidden and took it.

The guardian held a meeting, Tadase is in charge for the public speaking and he is discussing Hinamori changes into her alter ego and voice out her feelings towards Tadase however she got dumped. And suddenly realize it was again a stupid mistake and not just a simple mistake, she done it in front of a crowd and when realizes she acted strange she run out of school and fall into and open pit in a construction area. And finally saw her guardian, it was the egg that hatches and become one of her character, Ran that is her guardian’s name. She jumps in the air almost ten storeys high and reach the steel frame in the newly constructed building.

Then a new character, Ikuto, hops in as if like a cat and took the other eggs of her. Whe she realize something precious to her was stolen she suddenly tried to steal it back but right after she grab the eggs she fall. However with the use of humpty lock she transforms into something fancy and floats in the air. But again when she realizes she is flying, she return to normal and fall. Fortunately Tadase rushes in to save her, her first close contact with her prince charming. That is also when she know about that Tadase and the other guardians have guardians too. And Tadase let her hold the humpty lock and was amazed by it. And suddenly realize what she has done earlier.

Review :

This is somewhat good although their voices are painful in my ears. The characters are good and interesting but this anime could not be compare to any other anime because this is too annoying to watch however I still like it not because of their fancy characters but I kinda like the creators concept of having this kind of series, having a guardian in your side is somehow shows that your are being brought back to your childhood days and my childhood days are very memorable and actually imaginative, that is maybe I like this. No one recommend this to me but my first impression is that this shojo anime is really for children 7 years of age or younger, but to think that I’m already 22 years, and for the record I’m a guy, this anime is a cool anime that could make a problematic person laugh and stay calm and also it relieve you from stress from your daily office work. I watch this anime for that reason. I like shonen anime but they are too complicated and couldn’t stop my self from watching the series one after the other. And that is why the more i watch shonen – Naruto, Bleach, D.gray-man and Prince of tennis – the more unhealthy I become – since I’m always using the computer almost 24/7, at my work and even to watch anime series I use Live streaming that is why I get tired easily – But this anime somehow looks interesting and is like a pastime.

I give 7/10 for this anime. And if you want to get annoyed try to watch this anime and you can find what you are looking for however if you feel like relieving your stress as well, I recommend this anime series. For sure you will really enjoy watching it.

Now, I’m looking forward for more episode on Shugo Chara! I know this will get pretty interesting, I hope. ok. See you in the next episode.

Blade Braver and Lunch

Tamaki stays at home and watch her favorite anime TV series Blade Braver every night. She is very attentive while watching TV, like she is in her most peaceful and happiest moment that no one dares to disturb.

Previously on Bamboo Blade, Tamaki was confronted with the strongest and sadist person in their club, Toyama former captain of their team. Tamaki couldn’t bear what she was seeing so she turn herself in as a temporary member and challenge Toyama.

Now, moving on to the story, Kirino look for an armor that will suit’s in Tamaki body, while looking for it Kirino apologize for Toyama’s attitude towards the newbies. And not only for them but all other kid that is weaker than him and even girls he bullies them until they cry. Kirino explains that in the club they are to show off all they’ve that sometimes boys overdo it. Kirino doesn’t seem to feel pity to their club instead she cheers up and told Tamaki to defeat Toyama and completely remove him from the team. However the trouser that she is wearing has a size a lot bigger than her and the hem just extended to her foot. But anyway she have no choice and don’t want to complain about her height, she apologize of being short instead. And she also said that she will only be a member for that time only. Eiga and Miyaki tried to skip but Toyama stop them by saying they will be the next after he beat Tamaki.

Meanwhile, Nakata tells Kojirou about what happen in the past. Nakata said he was nearly beaten up by a steel pipe but just in time Tamaki came to rescue him just using a stick. Tamaki is an ally of justice he said.

At their Dojo, Toyama and Tamaki had a duel, but Tamaki is in handicapped because of her suit. However she doesn’t even feel fear while fighting him instead she is determined to defeat Toyama and stop him from bullying anyone. Before the started Tamaki show her courtesy to Toyama politely as how it should be. Iwasa said that Toyama even uses Carbon shinai, shinai variants that use carbon fiber, make sure that his enemy will suffer the most when they faces him.

However as Toyama and Tamaki’s shinai clashes Toyama could barely hit Tamaki. As he rushes to an attack Tamaki find an opening and manage to hit him in the torso. But as Toyama being hit he doesn’t stay back instead he attack again without hesitation and trying to crush his opponent. For him it’s not a point match but rather to see how strong his opponent is. As Tamaki tried to block all his attack his father’s teaching when she was just 4 years old flashback at her. Her father side Kendo is not about killing an opponent but rather it’s a self improvement.

Tamaki, showed him the real kendo after hearing his provocation. She constantly made a score on him making embarrassed in front of the crowd. Still out of his control Toyama attacked her with all hi strength causing tamaki slipped on the floor. Kirino on the side ring feel nervous because of the trouser. However Tamaki manage to regain her footing and fight back. As he cannot make a point against Tamaki he throws his shinai and hit her. Tamaki knew she couldn’t defeat him by her strength alone she decided to use thrust, even if it was prohibited and could only use to an opponent that is matured enough and well experience. But her present opponent definitely qualified for it so she decided to do it.

On the other hand, Kojirou went back to the Dojo and figure out something else to his surprise. He saw Toyama out of his mind glancing at his little opponent whom he doesn’t expected to be that skillful, now he was confuse about what happening inside the Dojo. Tamaki after defeating Toyama was convince to join the club. The following day, Tamaki finally decided to bring her set to their club and use it for their practice.

Kojirou, teaches morning class without eating breakfast and just hoping to win his bet to provide him some meal. Luckily some students share some food to him so he manages to eat something. Without knowing it was all left-over, but pretty sure it wasn’t dirty so I guess it is ok. The club members gather together for their lunch. Everyone has its own delicious and well prepared lunch except for Tamaki who only have a piece of dried plum, nevertheless they still share it some food to Tamaki. Kirino thought of sharing the rice but as they look at Tamaki, she eats her pack lunch with an appetite like a man. Instead of sharing them they just feeding her to make her grow bigger. While they are chatting they talk about Saya and about their experiences in Kendo. Nakata reaches the top eight at the school regional and Kirino, Saya and the other girl member just couldn’t win a match. But Tamaki didn’t even participate in a tournament at all. Nevertheless Nakata compliments her even if she hasn’t joined any tournament.

At the faculty, Kojirou sensei is having a problem about the one lacking member of his girl’s team however this time he was being passive. That is when Yoshikawa sensei saw him and encourages him to do his best, and for the students. Now he gets some energy to supervise the team. So he decided to let Tamaki to demonstrate the correct procedure while unconsciously giving Kirino a massage. And let Miya-Miya and Eiga Dan do some lap, because he just can stand their PDA. After letting Tamaki demonstration she wants to spar with her and reevaluate her skill. However he didn’t manage to continue the game because Tamaki just got serious and couldn’t make a point so he got depressed.

After school Tamaki went to a grocery to buy some food and went straight home. Her father just got received a rice from her mothers family and dried plum from her dad to prepare for her pack lunch however, she wanted to make sandwiches for her to share something for the team.

Review:

Interesting episode, unique characters, and great story – simple yet fascinating. Tamaki is such a cute little girl, childish but responsible. A very good role model among children, I hope children will follow her. Their attitudes make this anime a completely new shojo anime more remarkable and inspirational.

My rating for this anime is 9/10. I like it, very much. I can recommend this to all anime fanatic. I’m sure you will really enjoy watching this.

Love a mysterious word that leaves once’s mouth it conquers the world. While daydreaming about those thoughts her sister told her that they will be late if she keeps daydreaming. Now Tenma is a second year high school now and definitely wants to utter those words to Karasuma, a silent type person who do nothing but to draw manga. While she enters the school he heard the word Karasuma and suddenly feels excited and praying they can be in the same classmates since she was feeling a good vibration that everything will go smoothly.

On the other, after beating up the bad guys, Harima finally made up his mind and definitely found his special someone, and wants to say the same thing as Tenma so he went to school to meet with her. He heard that Tenma was in class 2-c so he concentrated himself to be in class 2-c but suddenly one of his friend spoil everything. So he knocked out his friend and wants to get back his concentration. However he couldn’t find his name after all and not only that, he also couldn’t find it in all of the section listed on the bulletin board. That is because he stays in the first year class so he left the area, afterwards the students gather again.

Meanwhile, Tenma look for Karasuma’s name in board and fortunately found his name on it. They will be classmate this year. However Karasuma will transfer to America so he would not stay long. Tenma decided to write a letter to Karasuma to let him stay however she couldn’t think of a better way to do it so she just wrote it on a scroll. She leaves her scroll to Karasuma’s locker. After school Karasuma read the scroll over and over again but still couldn’t find who wrote it.

The next day she finds Karasuma in their class. Her friends told her he decided to delay his transfer because someone asks him to stay. So she went to library to reevaluate what happen but her voice is somewhat loud that everyone heard about it, as she realize she became embarrass and make some excuses. As she went to the desk, Tenma reads a lot of books she can find to learn how to deliver her feelings but somehow couldn’t understand some words so she asks someone nearby unexpectedly it was Karasuma.

After then she tried to trick him so she can have conversation with him however her luck just run out. In the end she still couldn’t tell him her feelings.

Harima is sitting in his bike why thinking about her feeling and how Tenma changes his attitude. Now in class 2-c Harima is sitting next to Tenma. His classmate was wondering why he got their and start making a rumors that maybe he threaten the school officials however the truth is he desperately beg them.

After school he went to his locker to change his shoes but he finds a letter that challenges him on a fight. By then he realize that it was a good idea to show his feelings towards Tenma. Unfortunately, the guy, Tenoushi, who wants to challenge him, is also at the gym waiting for him. While waiting the bald guy tried to hook up with her and tried his luck on Tenma but dump him. Harima approaches him and knocked him out instead of sympathizing him.

Going home after school Tenma think of a better way to be close to him. She saw Karasuma riding a bicycle and thought of riding a bike too, at the same time Harima thought the same thing. The following day Tenma waited for Karasuma to pass by but as he passes by she couldn’t see it coming. Karasuma drove his bike very fast so she hurries her self to catch up with him. On the other hand Harima also waiting for Tenma however pass by instantly and so he tried to catch up with them. Tenma follow Karasuma as fast as she can, at the same time also Harima follows her too. As they reaches the Shishinzaka, Karasuma drives fast as he climb the road, Sawachika couldn’t even imagine but Tenma and Harima approaching fast and messed up her hair.

After chasing Karasuma Tenma got exhausted as well as Harima who is also chasing Tenma. Tenma dropped her eraser and Karasuma get it for her but she is sleeping.

Review:

The first episode was good and I think it’s worth watching. This kind anime is really typical high school life, someone have crushes cut couldn’t express their feelings toward that person. On the other hand there is also a third party who is trying get some attention from that person.

I rate this anime 8/10. The characters are very interesting and their acting are very funny. A desperate bad guy,Tenouji, who want to get his revenge. A hopeless romantic, Harima, who wants to get his an attention from his love of his life, Tenma. Tenma, A very naive girl, who also trying hard to confess her love to Karasuma – special someone. A little sister, Yakumo, who always taking care and watching over her big sister. And whole bunch of class who completes the attendance to start a school rumble is just too much to anticipate. This series is very cool and interesting I think I will have fun watching this whole series.

Characters:

Amu Hinamori

Amu Hinamori, the series protagonist, is currently a 6th grade student at Seiyo Elementary. Amu’s classmates see her as a “Cool and Spicy” girl and exaggerate subjects like her family occupations and her talents in rumors, but Amu is actually extremely shy and timid, since she transferred to Seiyo while in the 5th grade. Part of the reason for this misunderstanding is the trendy punk goth clothing her mother buys for her as well as the way in which she expresses her shyness and avoids doing new things. However, when Amu wishes for the courage to be reborn as her “would-be self”, three colorful eggs appear the next morning, which hatch into Amu’s three Guardian Characters: Ran, Miki, and Su.

During Character Change and Character Transformation her hair clip changes (Ran→Heart, Miki→Spade, Su→Clover, Dia→Diamond). The characters Amu becomes are good at certain activities; like Amulet Heart who is athletic, Amulet Spade who is artistic, Amulet Clover who is a skilled house-worker or maid, and Amulet Diamond who is a musician/singer.

Tadase Hotori

A kind-hearted and quiet boy, the same age as Amu who serves as the K-Chair (King’s Chair). His alias is “Prince”, as he is a bishōnen, but whenever he is called “Prince” or even hears the mention of the word (or anything similar); he changes into an egotistical king who wishes to rule the world. Because of this, he does not do a Character Change with Kiseki unless it is absolutely necessary. Actually, he too is a shy person and is not a public speaker. Because of this, he wished to become another, stronger character, like Amu. He lives in a traditional Japanese house with his grandmother, who taught him to be what would later be his would-be self (which would later result in Kiseki being born) until she became ill. He had a precious dog named Betty who died recently, and is still upset about it.

Nadeshiko Fujisaki

The elegant but somewhat enigmatic Q-Chair (Queen’s Chair), who is the same age as Amu. When Amu rejected the offer to join the Guardians, Nadeshiko tried many ways to convince Amu, such as bribing Amu with photos of Tadase sleeping. She is good friends with Amu, and she looks over and supports Amu in her love life. Nadeshiko has yet to do a Character Transformation with Temari, however her character after Character Change is a battle-hungry yakuza type who speaks in Hiroshima slang and carries a naginata. Temari says “Chin, Ton, Shan” during the Character Change.

Kukai Souma

The upbeat and energetic J-Chair (Jack’s Chair), he is one year senior to Amu. Although the former captain of the Soccer Club, he loves and excels all sports. Once, in the school magazine, he and Amu are mistaken to be a couple, as a student got a picture of him holding Amu after she came out of her Character Change, and lost her strength. Now he has graduated, which is the reason he has been replaced. Saaya appears to have a crush on him, as when she saw the picture of him with Amu, she was furious. Through the power of the Humpty Lock, he and Daichi do a Character Transformation, forming “Sky Jack.”

Yaya Yuiki

A childish and spoiled girl serving as the A-Chair (Ace Chair), she is one year junior to Amu. Yaya often acts too immature for her age, such as having an enormous sweet tooth, a great soft spot for items like ribbons as well as tending to be hyperactive. She is also a ballerina, though a rather clumsy one. She has a newborn baby brother named Tsubasa, who, she claims, gets all her parents’ attention. It is because of this that her Guardian Character, Pepe, who is a baby, was born. Though she acts jealous around Tsubasa, Yaya does have a responsible side, once personally taking him to the doctor when he had a fever, as no other option was possible.

Easter Company

A company set up by the Hoshina family; it is the main antagonist of the story. In appearance it is a large cooperation which deals in many industries, but underneath it plans to use the Embryo to accomplish an unknown objective. Ikuto and Utau belong under the talent production business that is under the “Easter Music” label.

Ikuto Tsukiyomi

A boy who wants the Embryo to obtain his freedom. During Character Change, he grows cat ears, and can turn his hand into a paw with metal claws. His Character Transformation is known as “Black Lynx”. During Character Transformation, he uses gloves with metal claws on his left and wears a leather two-piece with boots. His Guardian Character is Yoru and has the form of a cat. This could possibly be because Ikuto wants his freedom and cats are free. In chapter 31, Ikuto Character Transformed with an X Egg and became Death Rebel. He uses a sythe to attack. In the anime, he used a claw to attack.

Yuu Nikaidou

In order find the Embryo, he joined Seiyo Elementary and became in charge of Amu’s class in the guise of a ditzy but kind-hearted teacher. His dream when he was a child was to become a robot engineer but when his mentor quit thanks to his ailing wife and his parents opposed the idea, he lost sight of his dream and became a twisted person. But he recovered with help from Amu and Su. He resigned from Easter Company and officially become the teacher in charge of Amu’s class. A running joke is that he calls Amu; Himamori meaning “leisure time”. Though as his appearance ceased, so did the gag.

Review:

New attraction, from the characters and genre for sure this will a bit annoying but as far as the story is concern this will more likely be fascinating. I saw the first few episode of this series and I find quite amusing. The way she, the main character, dressed up and acts in front of the crowd and how people look at her with majesty is just hilarious imagine she became popular not because of her style or social status but rather because of her misunderstanding choice of words toward people and her friends.

What do you expect, if you are a transferee and you happen to be a shy person and want to be cool and friendly but couldn’t act as one because you are afraid to be center of attraction but as you don’t expect it to happen you mislead everything and turned out not to be your self and when you want to change your attitude you are afraid because they might not like you anymore. That is really a big problem among children especially when their friends are much socialized people.

Anyway, the characters are lively and enthusiastic so as the story. I guess this will not just take me away from boredom and stress but for sure this series will really entertain me and my friends. The cinematography is very extravagant. I just remember digimon in this series although they are not really belonging in the same category. Digimon however is somewhat pg13 and I supposed this is approved for all audiences.

Moreover, I’m not really fan of watching this kind of genre, because I prefer shonen anime series but since most of the those series I watch is not progressing, in short they are just fillers and that doesn’t quite entertaining especially if it is total a side story, that means doesn’t really affect or at least revolve in the main story. Bleach for instance is really not fun to watch at all. However Naruto shippuuden I think it’s filler but at least it was revolving to one of the characters and eventually it will be a part of the main story. Some of them are already license and I can’t find any sites which actually have a live streaming.

By the way, if you guys happen to know some live streaming site on gundam 00, deathnote, and prince of tennis nationals please leave a comment here. I really appreciate it. And if you want to exchange links we can, although my site is just newly made. But you can check 13^th anime St. for some anime. See you.

This is very cool, never knew there are a lot of them, thanks dude. Shinimegami2007 know that many I wonder how he know it all. You’re quite a reseacher I supposed who watch all those anime. Keep it up.

Interesting isn’t it, have you guys thought about it? Well for me, i did not really expect that because i haven’t seen some of those anime series but some are really convincing. They are in different anime series maybe because they sign in different contract? Heheh.

I was not fond of comparing anime from the other but I’ll just consider it as part of the creator way of thinking, they might have a guild where they share some qualities and looks for their anime. It’s not boring though, actually it is unique imagine that the creators did not just create a characters for just one anime series. Sharing some anime with others make the characters live long. Why do you think they have in common, that it really means that they don’t think for unique characters, i think not. They did it on purpose.

Does someone know something about it? If you know something then might as well share your ideas here so others will also know about their anime fave characters, who know we can exchange points of view about the anime and their creators.

The Broom and the Ally of Justice

In the beginning of the episode the five main characters are revealed it was just their faces, though. Interesting introduction I think something big going to explode. I hope this series will be fun to watch. The opening theme is also catchy. Want some lyrics and mp3 on the opening theme? Just follow the link.

Moving on to the episode, In Moroe Private High School, Dojo (Kendo Hall), a member of the club is practicing alone, while Kojirou-sensei (their coach) is just talking to someone on the phone. Although his, only, member is trying so hard to get their team into the nationals he couldn’t deny the fact that they she is the only member left in the club, even don’t want to spar to his only member and couldn’t help to become self pity about his club.

In his house, Kojirou-sensei is having a financial crisis all of his saving are gone and even worse he could not even buy his own meal. Looking on his shinai, bamboo sword, he tried to swing it upward but his luck is not going well, he hit the bulb and breaks it.

Meanwhile, his senpai (upperclassmen) invited him in a dinner and talks about teaching Kendo in two schools at the same time. He tried to give his best in complimenting him for he has no money and just want his senpai to treat him for dinner. As they talk, his senpai wants to compete with him in kendo club since he already manages to assemble a girl’s team. But, Kojirou sensei declines his offer because he only has one active member. Nevertheless, his senpai wants to bet on kendo and he’ll wait until he manages to find a new member.

To his excitement, he rushes in his car and decided to come up with a girl’s team. A group of five who will become his great warrior to alleviate his financial crisis so he can eat regularly three times a day and even can afford to pay his monthly rentals.

At the Dojo he becomes so furious and aggressive while sparring to his one and only member. And even his member couldn’t imagine his sudden change but Kojirou sensei tell his only student to do their best to go for the nationals. Kirino, the captain of the club the only member as you all know, is encourage by his instructor to strive to become stronger and to draw new members in their kendo team. But as some guy went in to apply in the team he authoritatively rejected them because of the bet. He then explains to Kirino about gathering female members. And even tell her to bring back Saya, she is Kirino’s childhood friend who is freak, you will know soon. Without realizing it she thought her instructor talking about the male members but someone came in to observe their club.

Kojirou sensei rejected the boys but Kirino disagree and beat him. She welcomes them, Nakata and Eiga, in the club and invited them to join. However Eiga wants to joins the ping pong club and decided to go there after they have observed the kendo club.

Nakata really like kendo and wanted to join the club, however he realized that there is no members coming so he decided to come back again and they went to the ping pong club. Kijirou sensei heard Nakata and remembers why he becomes a kendo instructor and told Kirino that he a terrible instructor due to his crisis.

On the other hand, a little girl–eventually become the girl’s kendo team’s icon–is undecided about her self. After school Kirino and Kojirou sensei is still looking for a new member and talking about things like jidaigeki–a popular genre of Japanese media that contains numerous amount of swordplay, such like Zatoichi–when they saw an unexpected scene.

A tennis ball, football, baseball and the Vice Principal, unbelievably falling from the third floor of the school building instantaneously approaching in front of Kojirou sensei and Kirino, an extraordinary little girl passed by and instantly grabbed and, exaggeratedly, swing a broom stick like a bat and manage to hit them all at one glance–and imagine the vice principal is also thrown back from where he falls, that was odd but hilariously funny.

As Kojirou sensei saw the scene, without hesitation, he invited her to join their kendo club. However, Tamaki, the little girl’s name, declines his invitation politely and went straight home. Kojirou sensei then runs to the faculty and look for her background and finds out her name, Kawazoe Tamaki that is.

In their Dojo Tamaki spars to every member of their kendo club at the same time defeating them. The matured guys couldn’t imagine how strong she is. And her father asked her to stop. Although she was just a little girl, she was also an extremely good kendo player who really determines to defeat every opponent she faces. After the sparring session Tamaki thank them politely as usual. And go straight to dining room and eat her dinner. Her father approached her, told her about the school’s kendo club and wondering why she didn’t join the club.

Tamaki is also a plain type person who does every household chore she ought to do. Tamaki is pretty humble unica hija and of her late mother. However during the night she still has a child in heart who also loves watching TV and admire those things as the usual kid do. She even records her favorite anime TV series every night.

The next day Nakata and Eiga came back to observe the club since there is no ping pong club in their school. Kirino and Kojirou then excitedly hand over the application form to them. Eiga cried when they told him that there was no ping pong club however encourages him to join their club instead. Kirino and Kojirou convincingly told them to join the club.

Kojirou told Nakata that if he joins the club he will definitely finds a girlfriend. Eiga had said that his girlfriend hasn’t joined any club and wonder if he can also invited her too. Kojirou couldn’t believe of what he heard but it was true.

Eiga wanted to try swinging the shinai but Kirino don’t want him to not until he builds up his muscles. However Nakata Yuuji, is allowed hold a shinai and even use it. He is allowed to use it because he had an experience in kendo. When Kirino asks where he manage to learn kendo he said he trained and Kawazoe dojo. Kojirou is shocked when he heard it. He forced Nakata to join the club and even mixed up his name to Tanaka. Eiga really wanted to wear armor and use a shinai, Kojirou suddenly change his mind and allowed him to do whatever he wants. And approach Yuuji about Tamaki. And ask him to invite Tamaki to join the club. However Yuuji tell him that she is not interested at kendo. For her it is just a household chore. Kojirou told Yuuji about his bet and if Tanaki won’t join the club his bet to eat at the reastaurant for free in the entire year will be over. As Yuuji went home he saw Tamaki and talks to her and invited her to join the kendo club.

On the second day, Eiga bring his girlfriend in. while waiting for her they are imagining things about her but as they saw her. They were stunned to see a very gorgeous girl in front of them, Miyazaki Miyako that is.

Meanwhile, the former member of the club Toyama is looking for his cellphone but as his classmate gives him his cellphone he beat him. After he got his cellphone they went down stair and met with the Kendo team and afterwards went to Kendo hall and made some commotion. Kojirou and the other however are busy to come with a solution to invite Tamaki. Kirino on the other approaches Tamaki and invited her to join the club and dragged her to the Kendo hall.

As Tamaki saw what Toyama is doing she couldn’t stop herself to get mad who mock Kendo and use it to hurt youngster. She finally decided to challenge the former strongest person in their club.

Review:

The story went well. The characters are pretty interesting, how they are introduced and they portray their characters are exquisitely impressive.

The plot is realistic. Except for some exaggeration of action, well that is dependent on the anime law. Every scene are quite amusing, it’s funny when Kojirou sensei acted as if his life will be safe when they saw Tamaki. Kirino is also silly when she dragged Tamaki in their Dojo. And she, Tamaki, seems pretty serious about bullying. I like that aura of her it seems that a small girl becomes the most terrible person. However Kojirou sensei is acted desperately when he actually heard Nakata saying that he was trained before in Kawazoe Dojo, poor him, I hope he can still sustain his hunger and manage to go to nationals and win his bet with his senpai.

The plot is easy to understand and the morale of the story is clearly shown. If you’re wondering about it, let me about it being strong or the strongest doesn’t necessarily mean that you are capable of hurting anybody that is inferior to you. Tamaki on the other hand is strong and wise but she stays quite and humble about what she capable of.

Anime Odd law

Have you ever wonder why anime doesn’t the law of physics? Well I’m about to iscover why although I know something about it but still couldn’t explain clearly to my friends. Nevertheless, let’s find out why. Here are some, if not all, of the anime law of physics. This is not necessarily follow in chronological order.

1.     Law of Differentiated Gravitation

Whenever someone or something jumps, is thrown, or otherwise is rendered airborne, gravity is reduced by a factor of 4.

·         For me, they did it because the creator wants to emphasize the character’s movement because if they are going to do with the normal gravity the character’s action is just too fast for the camera to follow. Don’t you think?

2.     Law of Temporal Variability

Time is not a constant. Time stops for the hero whenever he do something ‘cool’ or ‘impressive’ move. Time slows down when friends and lovers are being killed and speeds up whenever there is a fight.

·         This is also the same the law of differentiated gravitation. However in this law the time doesn’t necessarily stop but instead it just slow down. This is, of course, to savor the moment that the characters wants to show case his/her best luck.

3.     First Law of Temporal Mortality

‘Good Guys’ and ‘Bad Guys’ both die in one of two ways – either so quick they don’t even see it coming, OR it’s a long drawn out affair where the character gains much insight to the workings of society, human existence or why the toast always lands butter side down.

·         This is really obvious in many of the anime series that we are watching. The reason behind this is that the creator wants to clarify to the young viewers that every anime series that they are creating is not only for entertainment but at the same time they make sure it has a good moral value.

4.     Law of Hydrostatic Emission

Eyes tend to be rather large in Anime. This is because they contain several gallons of water, which may be instantaneously released at high pressure through large tear ducts. The actual volume of water contained in the eyes is unknown, as there is no evidence to suggest that these reservoirs are actually capable of running out. The reason water tends to collect in the eyes is because Anime characters only have one large sweat gland, which is located at the back of the head. When extremely stressed, embarrassed, or worried, this sweat gland exudes a single but very large drop of sebaceous fluid.

·         This is really funny law of physics that only anime has. I wonder why they are doing this but it’s somewhat cool but sometime they just overdo.

5.     Law of Flimsy Incognition
(from Conrad Knauer)

Simply changing into a costume or wearing a teensy mask can make you utterly unrecognizable to even your closest friends and relatives.

·         The creators tend to do this because they want their characters a bit recognizable so the story would fit their physical and most of the time facial impression and expression.

 How was it? Does it clarify your thoughts about the anime odd law of Physics? See you next time; by the way this is my first entry in my newly made anime blog. I hope to write more entries about anime.
