Recently Watched Animes Part 4


Kanojo ga Flag wo Oraretara

Hatate Sota is a high school boy, who has an ability to visualize "flags" for future events such as "death flag," "friendship flag," and "romance flag." Despite the flag-viewing ability, he avoids making friends with others due to a trauma he experienced in a ship submergence accident. Four beautiful girls get interested in his strange way of living, and they begin to live with him at the school dorm by force. 

Again watched one harem anime (and still it's not my thing). Well this was still watchable because it looks cute and is little different than others what I have seen so far. And the couple last episodes was quite surprise (I didn't expect that the story goes that way). Still I didn't like this much (maybe because that this is harem anime? I don't know) even though I kind a wanted to like this ^^''



Baccano!

During the early 1930s in Chicago, the transcontinental train, Flying Pussyfoot, is starting its legendary journey that will leave a trail of blood all over the country. At the same time in New York, the ambitious scientist Szilard and his unwilling aide Ennis, are looking for missing bottles of the immortality elixir. In addition, a war between the mafia groups is getting worse. On board the Advena Avis, in 1711, alchemists are about to learn the price of immortality. Based on the award winning light novels of the same name, this anime adaptation follows several events that initially seem unrelated, both in time and place, but are part of a much bigger story—one of alchemy, survival and immortality. Merging these events together are the kindhearted would-be thieves, Isaac and Miria, connecting various people, all of them with their own hidden ambitions and agendas, and creating lifelong bonds and consequences for everyone involved.

I finally watched this! I don't really know why I haven't seen this earlier but now it's done~ I actually like everything in this, animation looks great, characters are really good and story is interesting! This was only 13 episodes long (+ 3 special episodes) and I really wanted watch more of this...



Baby Steps

Maruo Eiichirou (Ei-Chan), a first year honor student, one day decides he's unhappy with the way things are and lacks exercise. He finds a flyer for the Tennis Club and decides to check it out. He's instantly captivated by it. With no prior experience and poor physical conditioning, join Ei-Chan as he embarks on a tennis journey using his smarts, dedication, and work ethic. 

I really like sport animes, but some reason I haven't seen any good with tennis theme. I kind a like tennis so I really hoped that this would be good but no. Some reason I didn't like this... There wasn't really any characters either that I really liked.



Ping Pong The Animation

Makoto Tsukimoto (nicknamed Smile) is a quiet high-schooler who's been friends with the loud and energetic Yutaka Hoshino (nicknamed Peco) since childhood. They're both in the local table tennis club and both have a natural talent for it, although Smile's personality always prevents him from winning against Peco. The club teacher, however, notices Smile's talent and tries to make him gain some sportive tenacity.

Another sport anime! But this time actually really good~ The animation style is pretty different than what I normally watch and look quite awesome actually. I wasn't really sure first that do I like those characters. Peco seems first a little weird one but actually he is great character and same goes for Smile, I first didn't like him either ^^'.Other characters are good too but this time I liked main characters more.




Angel Beats!

Otonashi awakens only to learn he is dead. A rifle-toting girl named Yuri explains that they are in the afterlife, and Otonashi realizes the only thing he can remember about himself is his name. Yuri tells him that she leads the Shinda Sekai Sensen (Afterlife Battlefront) and wages war against a girl named Tenshi. Unable to believe Yuri's claims that Tenshi is evil, Otonashi attempts to speak with her, but the encounter doesn't go as he intended. Otonashi decides to join the SSS and battle Tenshi, but he finds himself oddly drawn to her. While trying to regain his memories and understand Tenshi, he gradually unravels the mysteries of the afterlife. 

...Yeah, I haven't seen this earlier and I feel like I'm the only one. Because this was quite popular when this come up and I was like yeah, I'm going to watch this soon and it's definitely going to be great. And I never watched it but now I did! I bought this on DVD because I knew that this is good and it wasn't expensive. I really liked this anime! It's looks really good and the story is quite sad and made me almost cry in the end, but there is still some comedy witch make me smile, So really good anime!




Selector Infected WIXOSS

WIXOSS is a card game that's popular with teenagers. Supposedly there exist "LRIG Cards," female character cards with wills of their own. Special girls can hear the voices of the LRIGs, and those who possess them are called Selectors. These Selectors have card battles in a dimension that other humans cannot access. It's said that whoever triumphs in these battles will have their wish granted. Ruko Kominato is the latest girl to find an LRIG card. She names her card Tama, and without any further explanation is thrown into her life as a Selector.

I haven't watched almost none card game animes so this was nice change. I didn't expect much from this and I was thinking that I watch this because I started and this isn't long one. But this actually is quite interesting and is psychological anime. And I really want and I will watch the second season too~




Persona 4 The Golden Animation

Adaptation of Persona 4's remake video game, Persona 4 The Golden. The story retells the events of the original while featuring a new character, Marie.

I haven't played the golden version because it's only for vita, but I wanted watch this anyway because it's still persona 4. I though before that it's really different than the Persona 4 like Arena is. But like I wrote it only have new character Marie (and of course because of that it's little different). And now I think that the Arena would be nicer in animation than golden because it's really is different story ^^' But like the Persona 4 the animation this is mostly for the fans.



Yowamushi Pedal

Otaku Sakamichi Onoda has just entered high school and plans to join the anime club. In middle school, Onoda didn’t have any friends with whom he could talk about anime, games, Akihabara and other otaku things, and he is hoping he can make such friends in the anime club, but he finds out it's been disbanded. In order to reestablish the club he tries to find 4 other people who would like to join. Since he was a little boy, Onoda has ridden his mamachari—a bulky bicycle with a step-through frame mainly used for short rides, such as for casual fun or to pick up groceries—to go to Akihabara every week to check out or buy otaku things. Fellow freshman Shunsuke Imaizumi and bicyclist, while training, notices a boy (Onoda) riding his mamchari up a steep road. Freshman and road racing cyclist, Shokichi Naruko visits Akihabara to get some Gundam plastic models for his younger brothers and meets Onoda who catches his attention because of the his cycling skill on the mamachari and later find out they go to the same school. Later on, both Naruko and Imaizumi try to convince him to join the bicycle racing club, but will he?

Everyone probably know this anime and maybe watched this too. It's a sport anime so of course I must watch it too! And I really liked this even though it's not the prettiest anime I have seen and even they speak in the anime that this going to take 5 minutes and it's probably going to last least one episode maybe two. In Tracon there was one program witch name is quite descriptive for this anime and it was: Yowapeda -  Fine sport anime, not at all fujoshi anime. And this really is fujoshi anime :''D. And I'm totally going to watch the second season too!

And that's it!
See you guys later~

Killer Is Dead



Rain falls in a dim alley as two figures confront one another. Tokio, a deranged criminal whose right arm has been replaced with an automatic weapon, identifies the other man as an "executioner." This man stalks Tokio down the alley, effortlessly reflecting a flurry of gunshots using a katana. When he exits the alley, Tokio ambushes and seemingly kills his pursuer. Tokio's relief is cut short when the man silently rises and hacks away his firearm limb. Bleeding out at the bottom of the alley, Tokio realizes that his opponent is aligned with "the darkness," and with that the man slices off Tokio's head. A purple aura rises from the body and coats the Moon above. 

Two years later, Mondo Zappa's morning begins with a letter of acceptance into the office of Bryan Roses, whose government-sanctioned organization employs hitmen to execute villains across the globe. Zappa's roommate, Mika Takekawa, is disappointed that her request has been denied, but cheers up when Zappa offers Takekawa a position as his assistant. Zappa and Takekawa meet with Roses and his colleague Vivienne Squall, who is initially hard on the pair. After a brief explanation of how the office functions, the group welcomes its latest client, an artist named Robert who claims an arthropod is responsible for a series of recent disappearances in his area. Robert signs a contract for the execution of this monster, and Vivienne dispatches Zappa and Takekawa on their first hunt.

I finished this game a little while ago and this was really fast to play trough, it took me only 16 hours. But if you want to have all the trophies then this might took lot more time than that. Of course I always want to get 100% but it's not so easy even in this game (because you must play this game hard and very hard to get two trophies). Almost all the others are quite easy if you just play diligently ^^'.

I actually liked this game even though there is those gigolo missions... But this is quite dark hack and slash game as you may guess, Main character Mondo is cool and have katana (swords are always awesome~) and his hand can transform into a shooting weapon. I'm not big fan of the shooting games but in this it was fine because I mostly use the sword anyway.

Even though this is quite dark game and there is lot of blood, this looks really different and I actually like the style of this. And the characters of this game... well Mondo is of course cool main character and then there is lot of girls in this game (because Mondo is womanizer). Those girls are mostly only eye candy and not so important (well when you date them you get useful things so it must be done).

And then there is David (the man in the golden strings)... He would be good villain and he is but those ugly clothes... no strings are really disturbing (happily in last episode he have same suit as Mondo have, but in white). First I didn't like David almost at all (mostly because of those clothes) but when story goes further I actually like him and I was super happy when he changed in the white suit (even though it was only in the end and quite a little time..).

As I said I actually liked the game it was so cool, but then there is those gigolo missions... ugh. They are missions where you date a girl (there are four of them and of course you date all of them but one by one). Scarlett is a little different than three of them, she is nurse and you can find her in every episode and open new challenges. But anyway! She give you those pink glasses... and with them you can sees girls underwear and what kind of gifts she wants. And on those dates you stare girls boobs or ass and you get guts and can give her a present and then you get laid and those girls give you some presents.

First you must date them because they give you some useful weapons but then it's kind a waste of money... But because I wanted couple trophies I dated them quite a lot... well sometimes it feels like dating take more time than the actual story of the game :''D.

But anyway! This was kind a good game if you like hack and slash (fighting looks so cool in this) you should try this. I really want most of the trophies (but I can't get them all because must play very hard mode...why?).

And that was it!
Next I really write that last part of that recently watched animes! :''D

See ya!

Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness


Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness, known in Japan as Disgaea Dimension 2 (ディスガイア D2), is a 2013 video game in the Disgaea series developed by Nippon Ichi Software. The game is a sequel to 2003's Disgaea: Hour of Darkness for the PlayStation 2, where the respective main characters of that game will again be the focus. It was released on March 20, 2013, for the PlayStation 3 in Japan.

I actually finished playing this about month ago but I wanted to do those Recently watched animes things first (even though last part is missing... I probably write it soon...maybe). Anyway! I really like Disgaea games and this was nice that they did new Disgaea where characters are from the first one~ I'm not going to say that you must play Disgaea Hour of Darkness before this but it would be good because this happens after that. 

 photo uLTaQf1_zps82669bdf.jpg

Even though there is those main characters from first Disgaea (Etna, Laharl and Flonne) there is some new characters too~ In the very beginning in this game there come that little girl Sicily (blue and white in the pic) and say that she is Laharl's little sister. And then there come Xenolith (pink haired man) I'm not going to tell who he is because it's probably would be a spoiler... But I was quite surprised when I heard his voice, because I noticed that Xenolith's voice actor is Hirakawa Daisuke (I haven't seen him this kind of role before, but he was good~ and suited Xenolith very well~).

Laharl has been crowned Overlord of his Netherworld and has taken his father's place on the throne. However, the demons of his Netherworld do not respect him or his authority. A particular group of the late king's former vassals, called the Krichevskoy Group, are trying to usurp him and put someone that they find to be a more suitable leader on the throne. Compounding the issue is the sudden appearance of rapidly multiplying Yuie flowers that are changing the atmosphere of the Netherworld. The Krichevskoy Group blames Laharl for the sudden appearance of the flowers, believing it to be an act of aggression from the angels in retaliation for the events that occurred in Disgaea: Hour of Darkness.

I have always liked Disgaea games mostly because of the story and characters~ Again I like this and this is great game with the best main character Laharl (still my favorite main character even I liked the Disgaea 4's Valvatorez too~).

 photo DD2_DLC_Characters_zpsa3848f86.png

After completing the game, many things are unlocked, such as new options in the Cheat Shop and several bills in the Dark Assembly. These bills include options to fight and recruit Emizel, Petta, Axel, and Artina, And then there is some DLC characters like: Fuka and Desco from Disgaea 4, Adell and Rozalin from Disgaea 2, Mao from Disgaea 3, Zetta from Makai Kingdom and Marona from Phantom Brave.

I haven't played the post game much, but it would be really cool to see Valvatorez because he should be there too~~ But if I wan't to see all those characters in the post game I need to gain more levels! But maybe some day I will do that~

----

That was all and I'm going to write next about one other game or I write last part of that recently watched animes thing!

See ya~
