January Kawaii Box #2 Review

Published February 16, 2015 by Shay Taree

Alright so this is a new topic for me but for those of you who like Japanese or Korean snacks or items will love getting this cute little box each month.

I actually heard about this company through YouTube by watching a blogger by the name of momotokio do a box opening of her kawaii box. After that I went on to kawaii boxes website myself to get more information to which I ultimately ended up subscribing myself.

So let’s get started on the review and then later on below I will list the cost and a link to the website.

So as far as shipping is concerned it took about 2 weeks for me receive my box but since it was coming from Singapore I understood. They did give me a tracking number as well as email me when it had shipped. The only complaint I had was that I couldn’t track it. Every time I tried to it said that shipping information wasn’t available. But that for me wasn’t a big deal since I knew I was going to get it soon.

When I go my box it arrived in this cute white box with the company’s name written in the corner and taped very nicely.

Once you open the box there is pink tissue paper of course with a cute postcard to match.

IMG_8803
And these are the items I had inside….

IMG_8804
I had in total 9 different items and everything was just so cute and adorable. I especially love the socks, the pen, and the panda phone charm.

IMG_8805
I definitely can’t wait to get my next box from them which should be at the end of February. The total cost of a monthly subscription is 18.90 a month. They also only accept PayPal so if you don’t have a paypal account it will direct you to create one. The website is Kawaii Boxif you would like to take a look yourself.

Let me know if the comment below what you think of this review and also let me know if you would like me to review each box that I get.

My Top 5 Romantic Anime’s ❤︎(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)❤︎

Published February 14, 2015 by Shay Taree

So usually I won’t post on Saturdays but since today is Valentine’s Day I’m making today a special post. So today I’m posting what my top 5 favorite Romantic anime’s are. I’ll also post the synopsis of them so everyone can decide if they will like to watch them or not.

1. Itazura Na Kiss:

IMG_8792
Ever since she entered high school, Kotoko Aihara wanted to be in the same class as Naoki Irie. The only problem is that Irie is the smartest student in school contrast to Kotoko being one of the dumbest. Now in her 3rd year of high school, she still isn’t there. However, one day her home gets destroyed and the only place left to go to was Irie’s home. Now that she lives close to him, will their relationship be the same, or will it become greater than it is?

2. Wolf Girl And Black Prince:

IMG_8793
The story centers around Erika Shinohara, a vain 16-year-old girl who tells her friends about her romantic exploits, but she actually has no boyfriend. She claims that a handsome boy in a candid photo is her boyfriend, but it turns out that boy is a schoolmate named Kyouya Sata. She has no choice but to make him her fake boyfriend. Unfortunately, Sata may look like a sweet person, but he is actually an ultra-black-hearted sadist. Sata takes advantage of Erika’s weakness and treats her like his dog.

3. Lovely Complex:

IMG_8794
Risa and Otani are always being laughed at as the comedy duo. Risa, a girl, is taller than the average girl, and Otani, a boy, is shorter than the average boy. The two are always bickering and even their teacher sees them as a comedy act. But as their friendship develops, so do Risa’s feelings toward Otani.

4. Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama:

IMG_8795
Misaki Ayuzawa is the first female student council president at a once-all-boys-turned-co-ed school. She rules the school with a strict discipline demeanor, but she has a secret: she works at a maid cafe due to her family’s circumstances. One day, the popular A-student and notorious heart-breaker Takumi Usui finds out her secret and makes a deal with her to keep it hush from the school in exchange for spending some time with him.

5. Peach Girl:

IMG_8796
Peach Girl is about an average high school girl, Momo Adachi, who everyone thinks is a beach bunny/slut because of her tanned skin. The actual reason she is so tanned is because she was on the swim team and tans very easily. She likes a boy, Toji, who she heard only likes non-tanned girls. This causes her to question who she is and have low self esteem. She spends a lot of time trying to remake herself into the girl she believes he wants; however, she has a friend, Sae, who likes to go behind Momo’s back and make her life terrible, mostly by trying to take Toji away from her. All the while there’s another boy, Kairi, who is in love with Momo.

Alright so those are my top 5 romantic anime’s that I think have varying levels of degrees when it comes to both romance and drama. To me they are are good to watch on Valentine’s Day whether you have someone or not. Also comment down below what your favorite romantic anime’s are or let me know what you think of the 5 that I listed.

Kuroko’s Basketball Episode 5 Review!

Published February 11, 2015 by Shay Taree

So this past Sunday a new episode of season 3 of Kuroko’s Basketball aired and boy was it a good episode.

This episode actually went more in depth with the skills that Akashi has and his emperor eye.

IMG_8779
Which is a neat trick by the way. But the episode starts off again with the start of the match with Midorima shorting those epic three pointers of his and they end up with the score being tied by halftime. But once it’s halftime that’s when Midorima and all of the rest of the generation of miracles know that things are going to change.

Midorima knows that after halftime is when Akashi is most likely to use his emperor eye and sure enough he does.

IMG_8784
You get to see Akashi’s emperor eye in full force even against those who aren’t playing.

IMG_8781
For example when it came to Kagami, Akashi was able to bring Kagami to the ground with just a look.

IMG_8783
Also when the games starts up again Midorima and his team are no longer able to keep the tie score and Akashi’s team starts to pull ahead.

IMG_8782
That’s when you as a viewer know that things aren’t going to end well and you hear Murasakibara explain just how Akashi’s Emperor Eye works.

All I can say is that even though I know what is going to happen I can’t help but be even more excited to see the next episode. I’m so happy that this season we get to know more about Akashi and his relationship with the Generation Of Miracles and how they all got together.

But what do you guys think of this episode and what do you think of Akashi’s emperor eye. Leave your comments below and like always I will always answer back.

Sailor Moon Crystal Episode 15 Review

Published February 9, 2015 by Shay Taree

So this week after for quite a bit of time we finally got a new Sailor Moon Crystal episode and was it an episode. I was so excited to see this episode since we finally got introduced to Chibiusa and it’s the start of the Black Moon Arc.

IMG_8772
The episode started off just like how the past episode ended with Chibiusa falling from the sky,

IMG_8767
pointing a gun at Usagi, and demanding the Legendary Silver Crystal.

IMG_8768
The gun of course is fake and she doesn’t get the Crystal. Instead she runs off and and becomes attached to Mamoru.

Just like in the last series Chibiusa tricks Usagi’s family into letting her stay with them by hypnotizing them.

IMG_8771
Later on in the series when end up meeting Prince Demande, Crimson Rubeus, and the Specter Sisters.

IMG_8769
After that we cut back to the Sailor Scouts where Rei is helping out at her school’s fair by being a fortune teller but it’s interrupter when one of the Specter Sisters Koan is also posing as a fortune teller but saying really horrible things of course to the students.

Rei goes to investigate and when things start getting pretty crazy the rest of he scouts show up to help. But oh no Rei ends up getting captured and even though Usagi and Mamoru try using the new Moon Rod that they got it doesn’t completely work. It gets rid of Koan but what Rei is trapped in remains and ultimately Rei is taken by Rubeus.

This episode was actually really good and I can’t wait for the next one. I think I’m going to like this arc more than the last one and I can tell that they are incorporating the different personalities of the scouts more.

Alright there is my review and let me know what you thought of this weeks episode. Also as you can see I did post on a Monday and my new postings days are going to be Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! So watch for posts on those days!

Anime Isn’t Just For Kids!

Published February 7, 2015 by Shay Taree

I’m sure that I’m not the only one who has gone through trying to explain to someone usually an adult in their family about why anime isn’t just for kids.

For me that person is my dad because he can’t completely understand exactly why I like anime so much but he is starting to understand. He is only starting to understand because I showed him a few different shows like Shin-Chan, Bleach, and also Death Note.

But one thing that never gets old (well actually yeah it does) is whenever I tell people I want anime they immediately think of Pokemon.

IMG_8747
Now I have nothing against Pokemon because I love the show but not all anime’s are like Pokemon.

Anime is a specific genre and within the genre there are other categories such as romance, mystery, horror, thriller, martial arts, drama and much more.

Don’t get me wrong I can see why people automatically think of Pokemon and that’s because it’s an anime that is very mainstream and many people know about it. But the way people say it when I tell them I watch anime is what makes me very perturbed because anime is so much more than that. It’s like when they say that they think of me as a little kid when I’m obviously not.

Anime’s such as Death Note

IMG_8749
and Elfen Leid

IMG_8750
are by no means for kids due to the topic and in Elfen Leid’s case the violence involved. So when I’m faced with that awkward you watch anime conversation I point out a few that aren’t for kids.

But what do you guys do when in that situation or how do you feel when someone thinks anime is kiddish due to some mainstream anime’s. Leave you comments below and let me know.

Shoujo Anime….Why People Like It!

Published February 5, 2015 by Shay Taree

This was a topic that this crazy mind of mine thought up and also because I’ve seen quite a few posts about shoujo anime recently. But I was wondering why people enjoy shoujo anime so much?

IMG_8726
Now before I get flaming posts about this topic I just want to say that I have NOTHING against shoujo anime. I personally enjoy them a lot and I’m always looking for new ones (feel free to recommend some). I just wanted to know why they are so enjoyable.

IMG_8727
I mean is it the storyline, the characters, the music, the animation, the humor (in some cases), or could it just be that it’s anime so why not enjoy it hehe.

IMG_8729
But I can’t speak for anyone else but I think why I enjoy shoujo anime is so much is that I love to watch lighthearted anime’s sometimes to just escape and get away from the real world for just a little bit. Also it makes me happen to see someone even if it is someone that isn’t real get their happy ending and see things go right. Plus I’m a total romance kind of girl! I can’t help it!

IMG_8730
I also really like the music in this genre of shows, the animation at times can be really clean and sharp, and plus why lie but the guys are always so cute haha.

IMG_8731
But seriously why do you enjoy the shoujo genre? I would love to know! Comment down below and like always I will comment back!
