Recently Watched Anime 3/3

And after this I can finally start watching new anime, which have already started! oh no! 
(well I think I can catch up pretty quickly). 
But let's get started!


Nantsu No Taizai

The "Seven Deadly Sins," a group of evil knights who conspired to overthrow the kingdom of Britannia, were said to have been eradicated by the Holy Knights, although some claim that they still live. Ten years later, the Holy Knights have staged a coup d'état and assassinated the king, becoming the new, tyrannical rulers of the kingdom. Elizabeth, the king's third daughter, sets out on a journey to find the "Seven Deadly Sins," and to enlist their help in taking back the kingdom.


I like this anime so much! There is so many great characters and the story is pretty good too. I'm just a little surprised that this anime haven't had so much attention even though it's so good! I'm really interested about reading this manga and I really want own it too (going to be a little expensive though... because this isn't really short one ^^'). But I really recommend this anime if you haven't seen this one and you like this kind of anime (genres are action, adventure, fantasy, shounen, supernatural).



Durarara!!x2 Shou

Half a year after the turmoil that rocked the entire city of Ikebukuro, peace has once again returned to the city, and people are living each day normally. The high school students enjoy their days of youth as the strongest and most dangerous man of Ikebukuro works diligently. The informant plots (or plans) a new scheme and the headless rider is pursued by the cops as she rides through the night... But soon this normal will be cut short by the abnormal. Slowly but surely, the unknown will seize the city and face an all new storm.

I'm so happy! I really liked the first season of durarara and now there is second one! This isn't as good as the first but I still kind a liked this one and I'm certainly going to watch Durarara!!x2 Ten which starts in July! I really can't wait because of this ones end was so... ugh..no! I can't tell because I don't want to spoil anything, but something happen to Izaya and I don't like it (even though I'm quite sure that he will be fine.. hopefully).




Junketsu no Maria

The story follows Maria, the most powerful witch who lives during the Hundred Years' War in France. She despises war, so she obstructs battles with her strong magical powers. Her meddling with her succubus Artemis and incubus Priapos has caught the attention of the heavens, and so the Archangel Michael issues an edict. When Maria loses her virginity, she will also lose her magical powers. A beautiful angel named Ezekiel is supposed to watch Maria and make sure the witch does not use magic in front of people, but Maria continues to use magic anyways.

I'm a little disappointed. Well I didn't think that this is going to be awesome or anything, but I hoped that this is good one. But I didn't like this, there aren't any really good characters and the story.. It would be good but nope. This didn't just work for me.




Koufuku Graffiti

The story follows Ryou, a middle school girl who lives by herself. She has a knack for cooking and makes friendships with everyone through her food. The cooking manga is "full of detailed cuisine art to whet the appetite and slightly erotic meal scenes." The "koufuku" in the title is a wordplay on two Japanese homonyms—one which means "happiness," and another that means "appetite."



Well, I'm not really sure why I even watched this on (okay I know, it's look cute and it's about food). There really don't happen much but it would be okay if there is really good characters. But, those characters.. well they are cute, but not so good that we can forget the story. Animation in this looks really good specially in those eating scenes (even though they make it looks a little erotic, but still! it's looks awesome). But over all, not so good anime and people probably are going to forget this one.




Shingeki no Kyojin: Kuinaki Sentaku

The young Erwin Smith is a rising star in the Survey Corps, humanity's only hope of defeating the man-eating monsters known as Titans. Ruthless and dispassionate, Erwin's mind is devoted to strategies and intrigue. But beneath Erwin's feet is another world, the "Underground," where humans are born and die surrounded by the garbage the Capital throws away. Here, the criminal Levi survives on his wits and agility. But when these two ambitious men cross paths, who will prove himself stronger?

I actually bought those two Shingeki no Kyojin: No Regrets manga some time ago where these two OVA episodes is based on. They where so good and then this come up, I can't even explain my feeling. I love Levi and Erwin so much~~ And these episodes was so good~




The iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls

There are many idols with long-established talent agency 346 Production. And now the company is starting a new program, the Cinderella Project! Girls leading normal lives... They are chosen to be aspiring idols and see another world for the first time in this Cinderella story. Can they all climb the stairs that lead to the palace? The magic begins now...

I liked The idolm@srer (even though I wasn't so big fan of it when it come up) and I really wanted see this Cinderella Girls and actually in my opinion this is better. There is so many good characters and I hope that they show more each of them in second season (but that probably isn't going to happen because there is coming only 12 episodes and there is so many characters) And the season 2 of Cinderella Girls starts in July too! And I'm going to watch it too~~



Yuri Kuma Arashi

Some time ago, the asteroid Kumaria exploded in the depths of space. The resulting fragments became a meteor shower that rained down on Earth, and for some reason, bears all over the world rose up and attacked humanity! In "Man vs. Bear," the bears ate the humans and the humans shot the bears, resulting in a seemingly unending battle and a cycle of hatred. In the end, a giant "Wall of Severance" was erected between the humans and bears and a state of mutual nonaggression came to pass... The human world. One morning, Arashigaoka Academy students Kureha Tsubaki and Sumika Izumino were by themselves and saw the "Yuri Flower" that bloomed in a flower bed. The two are friends as well as lovers. The flower bed is an important place to the two. At that moment, the Bear Alarms ring out! The bears are invading the human world, and humans are being attacked! Are they really those bears? One mystery invokes yet another mystery, one after another. The curtain rises magnificently on Yuri Kuma Arashi!

Because I'm not big fan of shoujo ai this didn't work for me so well. I really like the style and animation of this, it's really cute and colors are nice~ (the style really remind me about Mawaru Penguindrum). Even though this isn't really my type of anime it was kind a good. So if you like shoujo ai then you might like this one.

And that's for now, I probably write about something what I have bought recently (some cute stuff). not sure though.

See ya guys!

Recently Watched Anime 2/3

I have to admit that I almost forgot to write this (so that's why this didn't come right after last one). Sorry about that, anyway! Let's get started:


Death Parade

After death, humans are either sent to the void or reincarnated. But for some, at the instant of their death, they arrive at Quindecim, a bar attended by the mysterious white-haired Decim. He challenges them to the Death Game, wherein they wager their lives and reveal their true natures. Decim himself is the ultimate arbitrator of who wins and who loses, who will go to the void, and who will be reincarnated.



(just some fast fanart what I made last month.
Ugh failed the hands though, but I draw it straight with the marker... so that's why.. ^^')

I really liked this anime, when the Death Billiards come up in 2013 I really hoped that there would be more of this and now there is! I was so happy when I heard that Death Parade will come and I'm happy that this come up pretty good! I'm not big fan of how this anime ended, but still it's good! (and the opening is really misleading, but it's fun and good so that's why I put it here anyway).




Rolling☆Girls

Ten years after the Great Tokyo War, each prefecture in Japan has split up into independent nations. Each nation is ruled by a prophet called "Mosa" and an army called "Mob" as they start to compete to take over other countries. Four "Mob" girls from the Saitama clan, Nozomi, Yukina, Ai, and Chiaya, are ordered by their "Mosa" to travel around Japan riding their motorcycles to mediate multiple battles between nations and clans as they emerge.

This was nice to watch, it have nice colors (watercolor backgrounds looks nice). Not bad characters (not really good either though). I really liked the opening and the fighting scenes looks cool! Unfortunately there aren't so much fighting (because main characters can't really fight). But, this was nice to watch so it's overall good anime.



Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu

Based on Iwaaki Hitoshi's science-fiction horror manga by the same name. The 17-year-old Izumi Shinichi lives with his mother and father in a quiet neighborhood in Tokyo. One night, worm-like aliens called Parasytes invade Earth, taking over the brains of human hosts by entering through their ears or noses. One Parasyte attempts to crawl into Shinichi's ear while he sleeps, but fails since he is wearing headphones, and enters his body by burrowing into his arm instead, taking over his right hand and is named Migi. Because Shinichi was able to prevent Migi from traveling further up into his brain, both beings retain their separate intellect and personality. As the duo encounter other Parasytes, they capitalize on their strange situation and gradually form a strong bond, working together to survive. This gives them an edge in battling other Parasytes, who frequently attack the pair upon realization that Shinichi's human brain is still intact. Shinichi feels compelled to fight other Parasytes, who devour humans as food, while enlisting Migi's help.


I really liked this one, it's interesting one and somehow different. I haven't seen much anime with this kind of genres (Action, Drama, Horror, Sci-Fi, Psychological, Seinen). The story is really interesting, but only minus is the characters... Some of them are good, but not really good. But still Shinichi is good main character and the character improvement is great (when you think about Shinichi from beginning and in the end of the anime).
And then there is this live action version of this anime! I haven't seen it yet but I will see it. It's looks great and I like Kiseijuu so why not? :'D



Hitsugi no Chaika: Avenging Battle

The search for the remains of Emperor Gaz continuous. Chaika still in search of knowing who she really is and what her purpose is. Similarly, the Red Chaika continues the search for the rest of Emperor Gaz's remains. The Gillette corporation continues the mission to catch every last Chaika. In their adventure they give a revealing account kept secret by the Emperor, which Chaika, Fredrica, Toru, and Akari decide to uncover.

This is second season of Hitsugi no Chaika and I liked the first one so of course I wanted to watch this one too and see how this is going to end (and I wanted some answers because they didn't tell much in first season). The second season wasn't so good and in the end there is couple things that I didn't like... for example what Toru did to trying to win in last battle... (no spoilers so I'm not writing anything else about the end of this anime). Still there is good characters and the story... well it was interesting (even though I wanted it to go a little different in the end...). Oh! And I might make cosplay from this anime in this year (maybe in Tracon!).



Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu LOVE!

This is the tale of five unlikely heroes who unite under the name of the "Earth Defense Club" alongside a pink wombat-like alien to defend their world and restore love to all; however, does a sinister organization lurk behind the scenes of Binan High school?

......What the heck did I watch :''D
Well, I knew that this is going to be some really weird anime and probably fun too. But I didn't like this, well there was some good scenes and it was a little fun. But still this anime wasn't for me unfortunately. I really hoped that I like this because it sounded really weird and well magical boys can't be so bad. Hopefully someday there will be better magical boy anime or something~



Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata

The life of Tomoyo Aki, a highschool otaku working part time to support his BD hoarding. With remarkable luck, he bumps head-first into, Megumi Kato, the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. Naturally, the meeting twists his life into a complicated torrent of relationships. Eriri Spencer Sawamura, his half-foreigner childhood friend who's always valued her relationship with MC. Kasumigaoka Utaha, a cold, composed renowned literary genius who shoves everyone aside from our protagonist. What is this? An eroge introduction? The tale of a small not quite doujin circle, but not quite indie studio's journey through the tough territory of comiket and beyond.

This was pretty good one even though I'm not big fan of Harem and Ecchi genres. Characters are good and it was quite fun one too. This remain a little unfinished so there is probably going to be season two (I hope so). So if it come, I will watch it!


------

Aaaaaaand that's all for now!
I write the 3/3 later, hopefully sooner than this one, even though I have some things to do in this weekend (surprise! I have life! You never know!) :'D

See ya later~

Recently Watched Anime 1/3

Once again, I don't have a life and I have been watching quite lot of anime (and played games...) so I'm not going to put all in this same post. (as you can see 1/3).

Anyway, here we go:


Tsukimonogatari

"Please!—Do it, and get it over with." Slowly but surely, Koyomi Araragi, who "has been averting his eyes from reality," has no choice but to face it. February comes, and the college entrance exam is approaching. What is this "change" that is happening to his body that cannot be overlooked? The "Monogatari" begins to sprint towards its conclusion. This is Oddity taking place in the modern world! In a story of youth, a word of farewell is inevitable.

Little more of Monogatri series! This time there is only 4 episodes of this Tsukimonogatari. I really like Monogatari series so of course I liked this one too and there is Shinobu (she is so cute~~). Well Yotsugi is cute one too (I just hate that stupid looking hat of hers :'D).




Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso

Piano prodigy Arima Kosei dominated the competition and all child musicians knew his name. But after his mother, who was also his instructor, passed away, he had a mental breakdown while performing at a recital that resulted in him no longer being able to hear the sound of his piano even though his hearing was perfectly fine. Even two years later, Kosei hasn't touched the piano and views the world in monotone, and without any flair or color. He was content at living out his life with his good friends Tsubaki and Watari until, one day, a girl changed everything. Miyazono Kaori is a pretty, free spirited violinist whose playing style reflects her personality. Kaori helps Kosei return to the music world and show that it should be free and mold breaking unlike the structured and rigid style Kosei was used to.

This anime, I just want to go and cry myself in to the sleep. I really liked this, it's really good anime but this is so sad! So so sad! I actually liked this really much (....but I wanted different ending!)




Akatsuki no Yona

Upon her sixteenth birthday, the cheerful Princess Yona intended to tell her doting father of her love for Soo-won, but her life was turned upside down after witnessing the man she loves cruelly assassinating her father. Heartbroken by this painful betrayal, Princess Yona fled the palace with her loyal servant Hak. Now, she will take up the sword and the bow on a quest to gain new allies and protect her beloved people.

I normally don't really like this kind of Shoujo anime but this was pretty good and there is certainly going to come second season of this. I really liked some of the characters and Yona isn't the worst girl main character (usually girl main characters aren't so good). Well Yona isn't my favorite but she is bearable.




Tokyo Ghoul √A

In modern day Tokyo, society lives in fear of Ghouls: mysterious creatures who look exactly like humans—yet hunger insatiably for their flesh. None of this matters to Ken Kaneki, a bookish and ordinary young man, until a dark and violent encounter turns him into the first ever Ghoul-human half breed. Trapped between two worlds, Ken must survive the violent conflicts of warring Ghoul factions, while attempting to learn more about Ghoul society, his new found powers, and the fine line between man and monster.

So this is second season of Tokyo Ghoul and I really liked the first season but this.. I didn't like this so much. Well I don't remember really well how good looking was the first one but in this you can see in some scenes this doesn't look so well done. This wasn't bad anime, but I like first season more and manga is way better.




Shirobako

Aoi will never forget how she felt the day her high school animation club's labor of love was shown at the cultural festival. The sense of awe and the feeling of accomplishment that came with completing their very first project are exactly what encouraged Aoi and her club mates to enter the animation industry in the first place. But two years later Aoi has graduated, and now that she works as a production assistant for a big-name animation studio, the daunting reality of her job has somewhat diminished her enthusiasm. Despite the long hours and the punishing schedule, Aoi still hopes to fulfill the promise she and her club friends Ema, Shizuka, Misa, and Midori made: to one day reunite and make a real animated feature of their own as professionals!

I really liked this one too, there is so many good characters in this anime and I'm really interesting about making animations (I actually going to study it if I can get myself in the school). This was actually quite fun watch too so I really recommend this if you like even a little this kind of anime~




Aldnoah.Zero  2nd Season

(SPOILERS in the video, so don't watch if you haven't seen the first season! (and I'm not sure if you want to do it even if you have seen it...hmmm))

Seeking for revenge, Count Saazbaum, a Martian, attacked the Earth. Later on, the war between the Terrans and Martians ended with Earth's Terrans gaining the victory. However, nineteen months later, the battle between them continues. Martians still continues to invade the Earth and the Terrans to protect it.

I really liked the first season of this and I didn't know or after the last episode I didn't know how this going to have second season? Well second season come and I'm so happy that it didn't end in the first season. I liked it so much and this second was so good too! I always say that I don't like Mecha anime or I don't want to watch them anymore but I was wrong! This was so good and from now on I'm going to give a chance for Mecha anime too! :'D


----------

And that's was all, I'm going to write 2/3 when I have time and I'm not too lazy~
Bye~
