Shokugeki no Souma

Ever since he was a child, fifteen-year-old Souma Yukihira has helped his father by working as the sous chef in the restaurant his father runs and owns. Throughout the years, Souma developed a passion for entertaining his customers with his creative, skilled, and daring culinary creations. His dream is to someday own his family's restaurant as its head chef.

Yet when his father suddenly decides to close the restaurant to test his cooking abilities in restaurants around the world, he sends Souma to Tootsuki Culinary Academy, an elite cooking school where only 10 percent of the students graduate. The institution is famous for its "Shokugeki" or "food wars," where students face off in intense, high-stakes cooking showdowns.

As Souma and his new schoolmates struggle to survive the extreme lifestyle of Tootsuki, more and greater challenges await him, putting his years of learning under his father to the test.

Oh dear, I must write this and the other soon because this years Fall animes are ending (and then I have even more to write about.. ahahaha)! 

Anyway! Let's forget that for now and let's talk about Shokugeki no Souma! 

I haven't seen much animes with food theme before. Actually Koufuku Graffiti is the only one what I have seen before this.... I think.... When we talk about food animes I think that I should watch Yakitate!! Japan, but I don't know when I have time to watch that ^^' . Anyway! I must say that Shokugeki no Souma is pretty good food anime! Animation looks beautiful, story is simple but it doesn't necessary need to be more than that to be good and there is good characters too!

Like I said the story is really simple, but maybe too simple? Well even anime with simple story can be good. But there is some other thing that kind a bothers me. Like the character development, I really like that anime have some of that, but here there is almost non (I really hope that in season two we see more). Well, we have Megumi, but her development was kind a forced in my opinion.

There is quite a lot of characters and they are actually quite good ones! But in this anime we doesn't focus so much each of them and that's kind of sad, but because there is so many of them it's kind a understandable.

But let's talk about this beautiful animation! The art style is really Shounen like (well this is Shounen anime) and I really like the colors too! But like all must know that the foods are really beautifully made in this anime! They just looks so good and made me hungry almost in every time I watched this anime. 

I know that I didn't write much even though I wanted because this anime would deserve more good things what I didn't say.. But overall this anime was quite funny one, I really liked some of the characters, animation looks really good specially the food and when the characters are making it! I definitely will watch the second season and probably I will read the manga too some day (when I have time..)!

But that's all I think, I will write more soon because I want to write about those animes what I have seen before Fall animes end >__>

See ya~

Sore ga Seiyuu!

Based on the Doujinshi (self-published works) created by accomplished voice actress Masumi Asano and Hayate the Combat Butler creator Kenjiro Hata, Seiyu’s Life! gives a true insider’s view of the strange little things that happen in the industry.

Follow a rookie seiyu in her first steps into the world of professional voice acting! She might be unsure of herself, but Futaba Ichinose is ready to make it as a professional seiyu. She meets Ichigo Moesaki, an actress who won’t stop until she’s an idol seiyu who not only acts but also enchants audiences with singing and dancing performances. These two rookies are joined by Rin Kohana, who is already a seasoned professional who made her debut when she was 5, who has a middle school life while working as a professional seiyu.

This time I talk about Sore ga Seiyuu! This anime is quite unique one because I don't even know any other anime where the characters are voice actors. This remind me of Shirobako because they both are animes about anime making (of course about different jobs though). But mostly because I really liked Shirobako I wanted to try this one too and I hoped that this would be good too. Well I liked the story, but it isn't as good as Shirobako's... Well maybe I shouldn't compare them after all.

I'm not really big fan of this art style, even though it's cute and suits for this kind of comedy anime. The style is maybe too simple for me, but it's fine because it's comedy and comedy animes should be simple looking (because of facial expressions are maybe easier to make fun looking and more fitting in simple looking anime). In other hand, the characters designs looks nice and I always like that you can see what kind of character it is only by looking it. 

The main characters are voiced by rather inexperienced seiyuus (voice actors) to fit the girls stage of career in this show. That was a pretty good decision, even though I can hardly believe that Rie Takahashi (voice of Futaba) is a "newcomer". She did really good job while actiong Futaba! They all do a very good job. And Of course I must mention that there was some really good voice actors who acted themselves in this anime, like Hidako Noriko, Horie Yui and Kamiya Hiroshi!

The main trio is quite common like characters. We all have seen those; the self-doubting heroine who is unaware of her own potential, the hot-blooded girl who tries to hide her worries and the innocent cheerful one. But still those characters are good and likeable. Even though they are good and this anime is nice one too, it's probably true but sad that no one will remember this anime later (or if they do, not very well).

Overall this anime is really watchable and nice one. It's not really unforgettable, but still we haven't seen this kind of anime jet (or I don't know.. please tell me if there is some other animes which are about seiyuus) so I still kind a recommend this because it might be telling new things for some one of seyuus life ^^

That's once again all!
Have a nice day everyone~

Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou

Monsters—they're real, and they want to date us! Three years ago, the world learned that harpies, centaurs, catgirls, and all manners of fabulous creatures are not merely fiction; they are flesh and blood—not to mention scale, feather, horn, and fang. Thanks to the "Cultural Exchange Between Species Act," these once-mythical creatures have assimilated into society, or at least, they're trying.

When a hapless human named Kurusu Kimihito is inducted as a "volunteer" into the government exchange program, his world is turned upside down. A snake-like lamia named Miia comes to live with him, and it is Kurusu's job to take care of her and make sure she integrates into his everyday life. Unfortunately for Kurusu, Miia is undeniably sexy, and the law against interspecies breeding is very strict. Even worse, when a ravishing centaur girl and a flirtatious harpy move in, what's a full-blooded young man with raging hormones to do?!

Once again I watched some anime with harem genre... I never learn. Well I did stopped watching this and I did put it in the dropped list once too, before I managed somehow watch this through. There is just so much fan service and the story isn't so good (typical harem anime...). But there is some good point too though.

Like I said the story isn't so good, well there almost isn't any story. First there just come new monsters in the house and then there is some typical harem scenes like, dating, girls compete that who get the main man and lots of fan service etc. So the whole anime is just about their weird daily life. It would be pretty interesting because the monster girls are quite uncommon in anime (I haven't seen anything like this before actually). But because it's really ordinary harem anime (when we count out that the girls are monsters) it's not my taste...

The animation looks pretty good, specially the last episode looked so beautifully made! But when we talk about character design.. well, it's not bad, those monster girls are pretty cool and interesting looking. But some of them have unnecessary big boobs.. well I don't mind big boob in anime but in this some of them are just too huge! Pretty annoying.... sorry... But when we don't think about those too big boobs, some of the characters are actually pretty nice.

So overall this is pretty good one if you like harem animes, but for me who doesn't like them... well I didn't like this anime much (it's quite obvious), but I must admit that there is some good parts and this was actually watchable (even though I kind of stopped watching... couple of times... oh well).

Anyway! That's all!
See ya~

Non Non Biyori Repeat

With just five students (none in the same grade ), the four girls of the tiny Asahioka Branch School still enjoy watching cherry blossoms, playing in rivers, digging potato, and building igloos together. The pace is very slow yet enjoyable and heartwarming.

Just another season of Non Non Biyori.

Like I said this is another season of Non Non Biyori, but it actually doesn't meter if you watch this before the first one because it doesn't actually continue where the first one ended. And you can actually pretty much guess that from the title of this anime (repeat). 

I actually didn't think that I would watch this after I watched the first season, but I kind a accidentally watched this anyway... (well my friend talked about this so I kind of ended up watching this). 

If you have seen the first season you can wait same kind of things from this season too. In the end, Repeat is still the exact same story as the first season. It meshes with the original season, both seasons takes random points in time over the course of an entire year in order to present it as a show. As a base idea, Non Non Biyori itself is the same as a horde other of other slice of life shows involving girls, with its main gimmick being that it involves itself in the countryside. There isn't anything new about cute girls doing funny/cute things so this anime doesn't actually bring anything new, especially when we have already seen the first season. Still Repeat have this nice feeling and you juts find yourself watching it through if you have started it.

The characters are exactly same as in the first season and there isn't anything new about them. We can't see any character development and sadly the Older brother (Suguru) doesn't still say anything at all in this anime.

I still really like this quite simple art style in this anime because the characters are kids and this is comedy anime.

But I think this is all! Overall this is quite nice to watch even though in my opinion we didn't need this second season for Non Non Biyori.

See ya! 

Gatchaman Crowds Insight

A year has passed since the "Tachikawa Incident" in summer 2015. CROWDS, the system that turns the mentality of humans into physical form that Berg Katze gave to Rui Ninomiya after extracting his NOTE, has spread among the public. Prime Minister Sugayama backs the plan, but not everyone agrees with his policy. A mysterious organization attacks Sugayama's vehicle, marking the start of a series of new conflicts. 

I'm back! Well, I wasn't actually gone... but still! I haven't written here in really long time! (almost in month?), even though I should because there is more and more animes and couple games witch I should write about (and more is coming)! But I have been lazy and busy lately....mainly lazy though..  Now I try write this and hopefully soon about some other animes too, but I can't promise anything... sorry T^T. 

But let's talk about this second season of the Gatchaman Crowds! I really liked the first season so it was quite obvious that I will watch this one too~. The story was quite interesting in the first season and happily it continued same way~ Bit some reason I liked the story more in season one though.

I really like Gatchaman's art and animation. It's quite simple but characters have good face expressions and I really like the characters design~ The colors are very colorful and it just fit really well for this anime There is some 3D animation but it doesn't look so bad (actually pretty good now and then, even in my opinion). But still this would be so much prettier if we take those 3D Gatchamans away (2D is so much nicer...). 

And then those musics and voice actors! I really love this opening and the OSTs are really nice and electronic (fits well for this anime). And of course there is some really good voice actors like Miyano Mamoru, Hanazawa Kana and  Namikawa Daisuke! I just really like Miyano Mamuro and he did a great job performing Berg Katze in the first and in this second season too~

Characters is one of the best thing in this anime! Like I said, the characters designs are good and the characters are just great. But one of the new characters, actually the new main character Tsubasa wasn't so good. It's really sad because I really like the character design of her and Ishihara Kaori did pretty good job while voice acting her. But when we think about Tsubasa, she isn't as interesting character like the rest of the main character team.

Overall this is really enjoyable anime with awesome characters and pretty interesting story.

That's all! I really try write more soon!
See ya~

Durarara!!x2 Ten

Second cours of the second Durarara!! season.

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.

And DRRR continues! I really like this anime so of course I wanted see more, but still this ore the first cours of this season cant beat the first season of DRRR. There is some new characters and actually the biggest  change comes with Ryuugamine's new approach to dealing with the Dollars. Ryuugamine isn't only one who gets much attention though. In this season Izaya have even more screen time~~ Still it feels like that it can't beat the first season. But this is actually better than the first cours of this second season~ 

In the end I don't have much to say even though I really liked this. But I must say that Durarara has continued maybe too long, so even though this is really good with awesome characters, I really hope that it's going to end for it's own good :/. 

And of course DRRR have great casting as many may know and that's why I must mention couple of the greatest ones; Kamiya Hiroshi (of course <3), Ono Daisuke, Kaji Yuuki, Miyano Mamuro, Hanazawa Kana, Nakamura Yuuichi, Yamaguchi Keppei and Sawashiro Miyuki! Of course there is lot of other great voice actors but I just had to mention couple of them~ 

The end leaves once again open so there will be next season. Well not actually season but final cours of this second season. And it goes with name Durarara!!x2 Ketsu! It's going to come next year though, so we have to wait a little... hopefully it's going to be good. 

Anyway, I think this is all! 

Good night~

Prison School

On the outskirts of Tokyo stands Hachimitsu Private Academy, a storied all-girls boarding school for elite young women full of potential and good breeding. But as the new school year rolls around, one tradition is going out the window: For the first time in the school's long history, boys are being allowed to enroll. But on the first day of school, only five boys make the cut. Kiyoshi Fujino, one of the lucky few, is thrilled by this discovery, his heart leaping with joy at the thought of being surrounded by all those girls, day in and day out. But little does he know of the shocking fate that awaits him.

First I really didn't know if I'm going to watch this or not. Well as you can see, I did watch it. Prison school is just really ecchi anime and of course it includes lot of comedy and because of the comedy part, I managed to watch this somehow. And now when I have seen this I actually could watch next season too... oh dear, what happen.

Like I said this anime is reaally ecchi and it includes among other things, hardcore masochism, a principal obsessed with asses, misunderstandings about two of the guys supposedly being gay for each other, cross dressing, golden showers, a guy shitting himself in class, a girl who sweats about 50 liters per day, a myriad of sexual innuendos, epic speeches about the stupidest things imaginable and god knows what else. Even though this is full of stupid things it somehow make you laugh in every episode. Even though fanservice is big part of this anime, in my opinion this would be better with little less of all that boobs, maybe for example chancing Meiko's character design a little would make big difference already. But this anime is obviously for mans so of course they need fanservice character for this kind of anime (specially when Hana and Mari looks really normal and Hana have even shorts under that skirt).  

The art style and the animation looks really good, but I must say that I'm not big fan of that coloring in this anime. Happily it isn't really bad so it doesn't bother me too much, but I would like little different coloring for this anime though.

All the characters in this anime are quite weird, Our main characters are Kiyoshi, he is quite ordinary main character, he is a level-headed individual who seems to have a strong resolve under hard pressure. Unlike the other boys, he does not let his desires get ahead of him, and tends to be the rational member of the group. Gakuto is a calculating and intelligent person, though relatively lacking in his studies. He is thus the mastermind behind a lot of the organised breakouts in the prison along with Kiyoshi. Andre is a calm, gentle-mannered person who shows a deep care for his friends, often placing them ahead of himself in his relation with them. Andre is the most lecherous member of the boys and is also an extreme masochist. Joe is the sullen oddball of the five boys, who struggles to fit in outside his group of friends (and sometimes within). He suffers from a bloody cough due to severe stomatitis, though the disease is neither chronic nor physically debilitating to him. And Shingo is one of the more lecherous people in the boys. He can be excessively narcissistic at times, holding his physical appearance in high esteem and requesting a hair pomade as a prisoner gift. And of course they're all perverts, whether they admit it or not

Of course Meiko, Mari and Hana are really important characters too!
I'm not really big fan of the characters design in this anime.... Like I said earlier something about Meiko's design. But still there are quite good characters in this anime and even Meiko is pretty good character... when we don't think about her design or the sweat.

Oh, and there is once again my favorite voice actor Kamiya Hiroshi~~ And of course there is others really good voice actors like Hanazawa Kana and Suzumura Kenichi!

But, I think this is all. Overall this is quite good anime (I can't believe that I actually liked this.. ahahahahah...). There is good characters, nice animation (if we don't think about the coloring), really good voice actors and you really can't guess what is going to happen next. I really hope that there would be second season because of the ending.

That's all! Have a nice day~
