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!

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.

Now to answer your questions:

1. Do you get anxious or discomforted if you don’t watch anime for some period of time? If yes how much time?

6. Do you have a MyAnimeList account? How often and with which purposes do you use it?

A. Yes I do have a MyAnimeList account and I mostly use it for keeping track of the anime I watch or have seen. Before though I was more active in the MyAnimeList community.

A. No I haven’t cosplayed although I’ve wanted to.

9. For manga adaptation anime, are you reading the manga because you just can’t wait for new episodes to come?

Uta No Prince Sama Maji Love Revolutions Anime Review!

Published July 8, 2015 by Shay Taree

So I just finished one of my favorite series Uta No Prince Sama Maji Love Revolutions. Now I’m not going to lie I like watching this series mostly for the music and of course the guys are hot! Haruka is sooooo lucky! I don’t know what I would do if I was in her position. But anyway on with the review.

So the main plot of this season is that Starish wants to be entered into a top level music contest but they have to impress Shining Saotome. So they are divided up into teams and Haruka in the meantime does some work with the group Quartet Night.

Of course since this anime does focus around music it was of course amazing! I loved the opening and ending song and I can’t wait to be able to download them. Also the other songs that were featured in the show were also amazing too!

Now besides the music the plot was actually pretty good especially since you got to learn more about Starish’s rival Quartet Night. Also there are hints at another season especially because of how this season ends and there is a surprise at the end of a previous rival returning hahaha.

So just as a fun question for those who have watched Uta No Prince Sama who would you want to see Haruka choose! My choices are either Otoya or Tokiya.

Overall though I have this show an 8/10. So comment down below what you thought of this show and also your answer to my question. I can’t wait to read them!

Happy 4th Of July! 💥🎉

Published July 4, 2015 by Shay Taree

Alright so here is a 4th of July post since I didn’t post yesterday. But what does everyone have planned for the 4th? Anyways here is a question that I think would be fun to answer. Since I know where I’m at a lot of fireworks are illegal but anime character do you think would get busted for fireworks?

I think for me it would have to be with Yusuke from Yu Yu Hakusho

or Renji from Bleach.

Well I say Yusuke because he is a total rebel and would love to blow things up! Also I say Renji because fireworks would probably be kind of new to him so I can see him just running amok and causing havoc haha!

But what character or characters do you think would get in trouble with fireworks? Comment down below with your answer and also let me know what your doing for the 4th. I would love to know!
