Canaan

Oosawa Maria is a Japanese photographer currently working in Shanghai, China. Along with her partner Mino, she searches for potential newsworthy stories throughout the city. When strange events occur at a local festival, Maria and Mino immediately investigate. Quickly, the two are immersed in a battle between unknown masked men and a strange, white-haired woman. Just when Maria is about to be caught in the crossfire, an old friend by the name of Canaan appears and helps Maria escape. But a sinister plot over a deadly virus soon develops, and Canaan learns she must confront her past if she wants any chance at stopping the perpetrator and saving her friends.

One anime again, which I watched last year. I really don't know why I haven't seen this before because this sounds and looks like that kind of anime which I watch right away I hear about it. Anyway I watched this with my friend and this is really good one~ Interesting story and cool female characters! 

The story is really interesting one like I said, but still not the best. Because this is quite short anime it might have damaged the story a little. This anime started airing in Jul 4, 2009 and actually the manga started almost in same time Jun 26, 2009 to Jan 26, 2011. There is novel too and it come up in 2010. I really don't know how much the manga was bonded to the anime or other way around. But because they come up almost same time, they might have been effected to each other. But like I said, I don't know. But I really think that this would have been better with more episodes. 

 I really like the art style of this anime and the animation looks so good. I really love all the action scenes, they are just so cool and looks awesome~. Characters are really good too! I really liked Canaan and Alphard~ They are really cool and badass female characters!

Overall this anime is pretty good and I specially recommend this for those who likes action and cool female characters~

That's all for now!

See ya again~

Ga-Rei: Zero

"Will you kill someone you love because of love?"

The Japanese Ministry of Defense has an anti-paranormal special forces group called the Supernatural Disaster Prevention Office. They are the ones responsible to protect Japanese soil and its people from supernatural and paranormal events. However, things didn't go so well in one of their missions...

Once again anime which I watched last year, but didn't managed to write about. Anyway! I actually liked this anime even though I haven't read the manga (Ga-Rei Zero is set as the prequel to Ga-Rei the manga. And knowing the setting of the manga would help quite a lot to understand the anime better). This anime come up in 2008 and the manga ended in 2010. So you can pretty much guess, that there is quite a lot of thing that leaves watcher with some questions, if you haven't read the manga before watching the anime. 

The story of this anime is really interesting one and the first two episodes occur chronologically towards the end of the series, but set up a conflict during which the rest of the series tries to explain how events lead up to such a conflict. It's really interesting because you actually can't see almost at all how it's going to end like that what happens in first episodes. It's quite weird that this anime is so underrated and I haven't heard much about this and maybe that's why I haven't seen this sooner. 

Ga-Rei really focuses on developing the two main characters, Kagura and Yomi. And and a result of that, the other characters weren't developed as much as I would have liked (as always I start liking some supporting character and they don't tell much about him or her...). Overall the characters are fine, but of course there is some characters that I like more than others, but in this anime there isn't any clear favorite character and maybe that's one reason that this isn't so popular anime. (?)

Overall this anime is really interesting one and deserves more attention. I am actually pretty interested to read the manga because it would tell more what this anime doesn't tell. But I'm not really big fan of the art style of the manga so the reading must wait some time when I have actually time to read it. Oh, and there is anime named Tokyo ESP (I really wan't to watch it), it come up in 2014 and there is some characters from Ga-Rei Zero~. 

Aaaaaand I think this is all for now!

I must go to do some school things... >__>

See ya~~

Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha.

Fushimi Inari is a shy, not-so-bright middle school girl living in Kyoto's Fushimi ward. She has a crush on her classmate Tanbabashi, but cannot express her feelings. One day, as thanks for helping a fox pup, the deity Ukanomitama-no-kami grants her the ability to change her form.

I'm somehow alive! I know I haven't written here in loooong time... and I have so much to write about that I almost planned to put all animes what I have seen in one post... but that would be too long so maybe I just write about them one by one even though it is going to take some time... sorry about that ^^'

Let's get started! I watched this cute anime last year with my friend... actually before Christmas... But I try write something about it anyway! Inari Konkon Koi Iroha come up in Winter 2014, and some reason I didn't watch this then.. maybe I already watched so many in the same time or something... I really don't know why I haven't seen this before. This anime is overall so cute~

It's based of the manga of the same name, Morohe Yoshida crafts a work with traditional shoujo tropes but adds in additional elements. These elements ranges from the spiritual God Uka-no-Mitama-no-Kami (aka. Uka), dealing with personal issues, and other life conflicts that can be relatable. By this standard, we can learn from Inari as a girl who is bound for discovery. This is because her ability now allows her to transform into the physical form of any human being as she wishes at will.

I started reading the manga a little while ago and I'm still not finished reading it though. I really recommend reading this manga because there is some parts what isn't in anime and of course it continues lot more further than the anime. Still I recommend the anime too because it is just so cute~ But because I haven't finished the manga, I won't talk about it now and I probably won't even then when I finished it because I kind a write about it now ^^'.

The story of this anime is quite simple, but really well done. It’s a simple story of a girl who likes a boy and wants him to like her back. But then this anime focus quite a lot in Inari's friends. Inari's relationship with her friends is just as important as her budding relationship with her crush. And of course there is now and then parts when we focus in Uka too~ (well she is the other main character). But still this anime is really short (only 10 episodes) and you can notice that it should be even a little longer, because in the end this anime feels little rushed. Well when this anime come up the manga was still ongoing so that's why they hadn't any clear stopping point. But now the manga have ended and there is 10 volumes of it~

Like I said this anime is really cute, I really like the art style and the characters are so cute too. Even though they are really cute and all still they aren't really memorable (if we don't count Uka). But I think that it's okay, It's sometimes actually really nice that there is ordinary looking characters than characters with crazy hair styles :'D.  

Overall this is really good romance anime and I certainly recommend this~~

Aaaaaaand I think this is all for now!
I'm so sorry that I haven't written here in a loooong time... ahahhaah, I really should write more often, but I actually always forgot and when I remember... I don't have enough strength to do so ^^'.

So if somebody is interested what anime I watch (right now) you can check my profile in MyAnimelist, name is TheVaahtokaapeli and you can probably see the link somewhere on right side of this blog. And of course I am in Twitter too, I post some random thing there, I'm Vaahtokaapeli in there and link is also somewhere in the right I believe. 

See ya~~

Yuusha ni Narenakatta Ore wa Shibushibu Shuushoku wo Ketsui Shimashita.

The story revolves around Raul, a boy who did not become a Hero, since the demon lord was already defeated just before his Hero exams. His dreams dashed, Raul spends his days working at a magic shop in the capital. One day, a part-time job seeker appears at the shop with an amazing résumé:

Name: Fino
Previous Occupation: Demon Lord Heir
Motive: Because my father was defeated

The work comedy revolves around this former Hero-in-training and the daughter of the demon lord.

What I have seen...

This anime actually come up in 2013, but I decided watch this some months ago because I just had time to watch one anime trough. I choosed this randomly and I kind a regred that ^^'. Well as you can guess, this anime is full of fanservice and boobs what doesn't know what gravity is (as you can see in the opening video). 

The story is actually pretty interesting one and actually because of that I didn't drop it after seeing couple first episodes. Sadly, even though the story is interesting and I actually like the animation.. all that boobs and panties are just too much. I don't mind if anime have panty shots (actually I'm quite used to it) but those boobs... like really... they just don't know what gravity is...ugh

Actually I kind a like those characters too, they aren't so special but they are good. As the story goes, we get to know some of them better and if we put all that unnecessary fanservice out off those characters, they would be better and overall this anime would be actually quite good one. This anime have potential but it just ruined wtih all those fanservice.

I just keep this one short.
This anime have interesting story, pretty good character and actually pretty good animation too. The humor in this show itself also tries far too hard on various occasions fused with fan service, clichés, and gags. It's really sad that it's ruined maybe because they just tried too hard?

But that's all for now! This is probably last on in this year so
Happy New Year!!

Kekkai Sensen

A breach between Earth and the netherworlds has opened up over the city of New York, trapping New Yorkers and creatures from other dimensions in an impenetrable bubble. They've lived together for years, in a world of crazy crime sci-fi sensibilities. Now someone is threatening to sever the bubble, and a group of stylish superhumans is working to keep it from happening.

Hello again! I hopefully can keep this one short because I really want to go sleep tonight, ahahha. Well, let's start! This one is really good anime~ I liked Kekkai Snesen a lot! Even though waiting the last episode to appear was pain (it took some time...). I think that I really must read the manga when I can! And I must put the ending video to the end because it is one of my favourite anime endings~.

The story is quite interesting one, but this anime leave really much questions. It probably helps a lot if I read the manga and watch the anime again after that. There is lot of characters so because this is quite short anime, we can't get to know all of them very well (that's sad, because all of them seems pretty good characters). I think the only bad thing in this anime is the small amount of episodes. This doesn't fit in so small time. I really hope that there will come season two for this that we could see more and get more answers for some of the questions. Of course almost everything can be probably fixed by reading the manga though. 

I actually like the art style of this anime. I have read that some of the people doesn't like the art much, I don't really see why because there is lot of animes that really doesn't look good. This anime have pretty good character designs too. 

Okay! I think I'm going to finnish this here (because this is going to be log if I don't finnish this) and say that, overall this is really good anime, it have really interesting world and great characters. I would say that people who likes Baccano would probably like this one. 

Aaaaand that's all!
See ya~~

Overlord

The story begins with Yggdrasil, a popular online game which is quietly shut down one day. However, when the protagonist Momonga decides to log out as the server shuts down, he found himself trapped in the world of Yggdrasil as his in game character, a powerful skeletal wizard. The world continues to change, with non-player characters (NPCs) beginning to feel emotion and becoming life-like. Momonga becomes cold and calculating, while having his emotions suppressed, as if he was not an actual human. Having no parents, friends, or place in society, this ordinary young man Momonga then strives to take over the new world the game has become.

I'm so slow... I thought that I would write about all the animes what I have watched lately before the fall animes are ending. Well most of them are already finnished and I have now even more to write about T^T. I really would like to write these all before year change but I think I'm not going to make it.... there is so much to write about...

Anyway! Let's talk about Overlord! I actually watched this couple months ago with my friend. Even though this come up in July. I didn't watch this then. I actually don't know why because this is actually pretty good one.

The story of this anime is really good and some of you may have been led to believe that Overlord is similar to Sword Art Online. Well it's actually isn't similar at all. There is this same "main character is stuck in the game" start, but this is really different from SAO, so let's not compare them.

I really like the art of this anime! Even though it may not be the prettiest one, but it looks really good. I really like the backgrounds in this anime, there is some really good looking ladscapes. And the coloring of course! It's definitely different one, when you think about it, the colorpalette is guite dark but there is still some bright colours too. There is still some parts that I don't like so much, which are of course the 3D animation and unfortunately one other thing too, like you can kind a see which characters are important by looking them.

I'm not going to talk much about voice actors this time, but I must say that Hino Satoshi did really good job! And of course I must mention that there was Miyano Mamoru too~, even though he had really small role...snif. Oh, and I must say that I really like the opening song~

Oh, I write pretty much even though I was thinking that I write a little this time and I can manage write about Kekkai Sensen right after this. Well it have to wait till tomorrow (hopefully I'm not too lazy onece again). But overall this is really nice to watch, there is quite lot of funny scenes even though this isn't comedy anime. And of course this is really cool one! It's actually pretty cool that there is this overpowered main character~ I really recommend this if you haven't seen this yet! It is good one~

That's all for now!
And Merry Christmas!
Even though it's little late to say that....
But anyway! See ya~

Junjou Romantica 3

Just third season of Junjou Romantica. But if someone haven't seen/read any of this before I put the synopsis of the first season here:

Three very different couples caught up in a storm of pure romance! Romantica: Misaki is struggling to prepare for his college entrance exams, so his brother arranges for a private tutor. But Misaki's nightmare is just beginning when his tutor, Usami, comes on to him! How will Misaki ever manage to pass his exam? And why does he feel so mysteriously drawn to Usami? Egoist: Just when Kamijou's life is at its lowest, he has a chance meeting with a man who never lets anything hold him back: Nowaki. His name means "typhoon," and he's about to take Kamijou on a whirlwind ride that will turn everything upside-down. Terrorist: Miyagi always seems to shrug off the cares of the world with a joke and a smile, but even he has problems, although he doesn't let them show. Foremost is Shinobu, a relentless young man who's adamant that they're destined to be together.

Well well.... I never actually thought that there would come season 3 for Junjou. Mostly because the second season come up in 2008, but the manga is still publishing so I can't see why not though. I really liked the other seasons when I was a little younger and well this is somehow nostalgic anime (even though it isn't so old). So it was quite obvious that I wanted to see this even though I don't mind much about Junjou anymore. Even so I would like to continue reading the manga someday ^^'.

I think that Junjou (and actually Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi too) is one of the most original stories when we think about other yaoi manga/anime. Of course there is others too, but still I really like the stories in them. But there is couple problems which kind a bothers me in this anime, specially when we are already in season three and the characters have been together for couple of years. Actually almost all of the relationship drama in this seems extremely contrived and almost none of the characters simply talk to their lovers. They all jump into downright stupid conclusions and almost never talk what worries them directly until they overthink the situation to the point that they snap and make a scene out of it. But still this anime is in it's own way kind a good, but in my opinion it maybe should have ended in season two and continued only in manga.

The art is improved quite a lot when we look back to season one or two. But we can see that improvement in the manga too (thank god, because the anatomy in the manga in the start...). Even though it looks better, I'm still not big fan of this art style but luckily it is much better than in the season one so sometimes it actually look quite pretty ^^'.

I think that this is all even though I didn't write so much this time.. geheheh (I kind a want to go to sleep so that's probably the main reason). But overall this is watchable, but not good as the previous seasons (as I remember them to be). Still if you are big fan of shounen ai and specially big fan of Junjou, I'm pretty sure you are going to like this (and you probably have seen this already).

Anyway! That's all!
See ya~
