Anime Rival?!

Published August 7, 2015 by Shay Taree

Alright so everyone in an anime has some sort of rival and usually that person helps them to get stronger in some sort of way. So my question is what anime character if they were real would be your rival?

This was a difficult question for me to think about and to be honest I think my rival would be Kagami from Kuroko’s Basketball.

The reason why I say him is because I love to play basketball and feel like he would always tease me.

Yes I know that this is a weird question to ask but I think that it would be fun to ask and see people answers. So comment down below on who you think your rival would be I can wait to read them.

Dragon Ball Z Resurrection Of F Movie Review!

Published August 5, 2015 by Shay Taree

So just yesterday I went with a group of my friends to the premiere of Dragon Ball Z Resurrection Of F and it was amazing! I actually really enjoyed it and seeing it in a theatre jam packed with other Dragon Ball Z fans just made it that much better.
The basic plot of this movie is the Freeza has been brought back to life and wants revenge on Goku. This was a very clear plot and there was no deviating from that.

The characterization in the movie was amazing considering that a few characters were absent but I actually didn’t miss them and didn’t know they were missing until they were mentioned. Also not only that but when they were it turned into a joke which was really funny. Besides that all the characters were exactly how I remembered them in the show.

Now onto the music….and let’s just say that there was some I like and some I didn’t. I honestly didn’t really like the intro or ending song but the songs during the fight sequences was amazing and really fit the mood. It really had me rockin in my seat and wanting to see what happened next.

The animation of the show was also something I really enjoyed and actually payed attention too. Usually I don’t always pay attention to the art but this time for some reason it really sucked me in. I don’t know if it was because I saw it in a theatre but it was so crisp and amazing. I also didn’t even mind the CG that was put in during the fight scenes. That honestly reminded me of the Dragon Ball Z video games which I loved.

The movie went by super quick and it was really funny with all the one liners and of course the bickering between Vegeta and Goku. Also Beerus and Whis return in this film and are as enjoyable as ever.

Overall I give this film a 9/10! It was amazing and I definitely recommend that every Dragon Ball Z fan should at least check it out! I definitely plan to buy this when it comes out on DVD. So if you’ve seen this movie comment down below on what you thought of it and if you haven’t let me know what you thought of this review! Join in the conversation because I love to read and respond to your comments.

Sailor Moon Crystal Anime Review!

Published July 27, 2015 by Shay Taree

Since I was off work this weekend I decided to finally finish Sailor Moon Crystal especially since it is finally finish airing. But let me just say I was definitely disappointed over how it turned out.

Now I was definitely a fan of the first series since it was the first anime I watch as kid so I’m not saying I didn’t like it because it’s not like the original. Trust me I definitely thought of Sailor Moon Crystal as its own separate show. The biggest problem I had with the show was the plot and the characterization.

For me I felt like Sailor Moon a Crystal’s plot was just wayyyyy too serious and way to focused on Usagi and Mamoru’s relationship.

While watching Sailor Moon Crystal there were just way to many moments were Usagi was crying or they were constantly fighting someone or trying to figure something out. There were never any moments were they were having fun. This was one moment where I honestly missed filler episodes in a show. I mean I also read the manga and Crystal is supposed to follow the manga more closely and even in the manga there were filler chapters and laughter.

Now for characterization I feel Crystal took a huge hit with that and I think it’s because of the focus on Usagi and Mamoru so much. I feel that none of the other Sailor Scouts were properly introduced with their different personalities and background. This for me caused me to know really have an attachment to them and the only characters that I felt attachment too were Usagi and Mamoru. Well at least that was the case for the Dark Kingdom arc.

When it came to the Black Moon arc there was definitely some character development which saved the show just a little bit for me.

That being said the whole show wasn’t completely bad. I definitely enjoyed the Black Moon arc the most. There was a lot more action which was great to see and great character development beyond Usagi and Mamoru. Also the opening for Crystal was just amazing and I couldn’t help watching it every time I watched an episode.

Overall though even with the better arc when it came to the Black Moon it still couldn’t save the show for me. I ended up giving this show a 5/10. It wasn’t completely bad but I definitely didn’t enjoy it like I thought I would. Hopefully the next season is better if they have realized the mistakes that was made with this season.

So comment down below on what you thought of Sailor Moon Crystal if you watched it and also what you thought of this review.

Fairy Tail 1st Movie Review!

Published July 24, 2015 by Shay Taree

So of course since I finally finished watching the 1st fairy tail series I had to watched the 1st movie too and I must say that I really liked it. Here’s the synopsis:
“The film revolves around a mysterious girl named Éclair who appears before Fairy Tail, the world’s most notorious wizard’s guild. She lost all of her memories, except for the imperative that she must deliver two Phoenix Stones somewhere. The stones may spell the collapse of the magical world, and Natsu, Lucy, and the rest of the Fairy Tail guild are caught up in the intrigue. ”

At first when I started watching it wasn’t all that into it and guess that’s because it did start off kind of slow but once it got into more action and the back story I became very much more intrigued with the movie and into it.

The movie was very much Lucy

oriented since she definitely played a bigger role and the movie and I actually really liked that.

One of the other things that I like about this movie was that while there was a lot of action

I also really liked the emotional aspect of the movie. Especially since it got you more connected to Lucy and plus there was a really good NaLu moment for all the NaLu fans out there.

Overall though I gave this movie a 7/10. It was enjoyable once I got through the beginning of the movie and the emotional aspect and action was awesome. So check it out! Comment down below if you seen this movie and also let me know what you thought of this review!

New Fruits Basket Manga!!! 😄

Published July 22, 2015 by Shay Taree

Yes I know I squealed for joy too when I read this news as well. Now this new manga series is actually going to be a sequel to the original manga that ran from 1998-2006 but still I’m very excited for this.

The new manga is going to be titled Fruits Basket: Another and will take place in the same setting as the original but it will have a new female lead by the name of Sawa.

From the information that I’ve been able to gather Tohru, Kyo, and Yuki will not be in this series but they will be mentioned. As far as the other beloved characters in this series we will just have to see if they show up or are mentioned.

The manga is planned to start in September of 2015 and will only be about 2-3 volumes long. I can’t wait to read a translated version of this. I can’t help but have high expectations for this. But what do you think will happen in this new Fruits Basket manga and how do you feel about it? Comment down below I would love to know!

P.S. Yes I did change the name of my blog just to make everything under the same name. I’m so sorry if there was any confusion.

Fairy Tail 1st Series Anime Review

Published July 20, 2015 by Shay Taree

Okay I know that I am quite late when it comes to finishing this series but what can I say I had been watching dub and didn’t want to have to watch the series subbed.
But anyway for those of you who have not seen or Fairy Tail series or know what it’s about here is the synopsis:

“Set in an imaginary world, the Earth Land, there exists a Mage Guild called “Fairy Tail.” Fairy Tail is stationed in the town Magnolia, residing in the Kingdom of Fiore, and is currently governed by Makarov, Guild’s master.

Lucy Heartfilia, a 17-year-old girl, wishes to become a full-fledged mage and join one of the most prestigious Mage Guilds in the world, Fairy Tail.

One day, out of pure coincidence, she meets Natsu Dragneel, a boy who is transportation-sick, but very cheerful in nature. However, the thing she does not know is that Natsu is the closest connection to Fairy Tail, as he is a Mage in Fairy Tail.”

This show was actually really fun to watch! Even though when it comes to long shows there were of course a few filler episodes but they honestly weren’t that bad. They actually were pretty entertaining and quite funny!

Now as far as characters are concerned you have Lucy and Natsu who are easily the 2 main characters oh and I also can’t forget Natsu’s cat Happy! Now as far as Lucy is concerned I actually really like her. She definitely isn’t the strongest but during a few fights in the series she can totally hold her own.

Now Natsu is definitely the hot head in the group and is the first one to go into a fight but that’s what makes him Natsu and makes him very funny!

There are definitely a crazy host of characters in this show and I totally can’t name them all but they all have distinct personalities that make them a wonderful addition to the show.

The music of this show was amazing and there are several openings and endings that I ended up having to download because they were so good.

The only downside to this series was some of the fillers and also the same old same old when it comes to battles. One this I will say is that they ended the first series really well with a completion of a battle but also with some intrigue as to what is going to happen next.

Overall I give The 1st Fairy Tail series a 7/10. It was definitely excited with a few lulls here and there! But for those of you who have watched Fairy Tail or are currently watching it, what did you think of it? Next I’m going to watch the Fairy Tail movie so expect a review on that soon!

What If Certain Anime’s Were Restricted In Your Country?

Published July 15, 2015 by Shay Taree

So I though up this topic while having a Twitter conversation with an individual who is pretty upset that Viz does not show the original Sailor Moon in her country due to the fact that a streaming service isn’t able stream in that particular country.
Well this got me to thinking about what would you do if this was what was going on in your country. I guess what I would do is if I really loved this show I would try and watch it any way that I could. Even if it meant me not being able to use the most legal sites. This isn’t saying that I wouldn’t try and see what the deal was or sign petitions to get the show over but I also would really be all that upset about it since there are so many avenues that you could go through.

If you would like to read more about this particular subject and what country is involved and why just click here.

So comment down below on what you would do in this situation and if you read the article let me know what you think about it. I can’t wait to read your comments so join in with the conversation.
