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!

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!

Naruto Road To Ninja Anime Movie Review!

Published June 22, 2015 by Shay Taree

So yes I know that this particular Naruto movie came out quite a few years ago but I just now got around to watching it. I actually had forgotten about this movie until I spotted the DVD in Best Buy and that is when I realized that this is the next anime that I want to watch. So let’s get to the review and here is a synopsis of the movie:

“Ten years ago, a gigantic demon beast known as the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was released from its jinchuuriki by an unknown shinobi wearing a mask. The village of Konohagakure was close to destruction by the attack of the Nine-Tails, but the village was saved by its leader. Minato Namikaze and his wife Kushina Uzumaki—who was the jinchuuriki at the time of the attack—sealed away the demon inside their new born son: Naruto Uzumaki. However, this act of saving the village cost them their lives and they left the future of the ninja world to Naruto.
With the demon fox sealed away, things continued as normal. However, the peace of the village would not last long, for Pain, Konan, Itachi Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki, Sasori, Deidara, Hidan and Kakuzu—members of a dreaded shinobi group called the Akatsuki—attacked Konohagakure. Naruto narrowly manages to launch a counter-attack but why have these shinobi appeared when all of them were meant to have died? The mystery remains, but the shinobi are praised by heir families for completing such a dangerous mission. However, one of them who has never known the faces of his parents, Naruto, cannot help but feel lonely. At that exact time, suddenly, the masked man makes his appearance in Konoha. Naruto and his allies are both attacked by the man’s mysterious new doujutsu.”

So I think that so far this is one of my favorite Naruto movies. The one reason why I was so excited to see this movie is because of Naruto’s parents and being able to see them more. Plus I was interested in seeing what would happen if Naruto had of had his parents. One thing I will say though is the movie wasn’t what I thought it was going to be about. I went in with the expectation that it was mostly going to be exploring what Naruto would have been like if his parents hadn’t of died but instead it was quite different.

Everyone in Konoha was so different in this alternate universe and I greatly enjoyed it! No one was more different that Hinata and Ino since their personalities were totally switched. Hinata was more aggressive while Ino was more reserved. I still really loved the exchange between Ino, Chouji, and Shikamaru. It was pure comedy!

Now when Naruto’s parents finally entered the movie and when they showed their last moments with Naruto I couldn’t help but almost cry. The look on Naruto’s face and also just seeing how along he felt knowing that his parents aren’t around was just heart breaking. It definitely gives me the feels every time!

But overall I give this movie a 9/10. This movie was really good and definitely gave me the feels during several moments. I also loved how Naruto and Sakura were the main characters and in a way got even closer. But let me know what you thought of this movie or review by commenting below.

Psycho Pass Anime Review!

Published June 19, 2015 by Shay Taree

Alright so after so long it seems I’ve finally finished Psycho Pass and let me say it was definitely a roller coaster ride of a show. I can also see why a lot of people have enjoyed watching this show.

Here is the synopsis of Psycho Pass:

“The series takes place in the near future, when it is possible to instantaneously measure and quantify a person’s state of mind and personality. This information is recorded and processed, and the term “Psycho-Pass” refers to a standard used to measure an individual’s being. The story centers around the “enforcement officer” Shinya Kougami, who is tasked with managing crime in such a world.

In the future, it is possible to quantitatively measure a person’s emotions, desires, and every inclination. In this way, it is also possible to measure a person’s criminal tendency factor, which is used to judge criminals.

This is the story of a team of policemen dedicated to maintaining public order. Some of them work in the Enforcement Division, responsible for the apprehension of criminals, while others belong to the Supervisory Division which oversees their colleagues in Enforcement.”

I’m not going to sugar coat it but there was parts of the show during the middle that got kind of slow and a tad boring. But towards the end with the main villain that really made me sit up and pay attention.

Now that isn’t to say there isn’t any twist and turns during the series because trust me there are. There were definitely a few moments where I was like WTF just happened. Also similar (at least to me) to Akame Ga Kill try not to get attached to a few of the characters.

Now the main female lead Akane

definitely at the beginning got on my nerves with how naive she was but it did make sense since she was the new kid on the team. But towards the end of the series she got really tough and became one of my favorite characters with how her mind works and how smart she is. Also I’m sorry to say this because I know he show wasn’t geared towards romance but I really wanted Akane and Kogami to get together.

Sorry but I couldn’t help it hehe.

Now for the other main character Kogami.

Well let’s just say that not only is he hot but he is also very smart and there are underlying things with him that you’ll definitely be surprised to find out.

Also just as a last thought the music in the show is amazing! The last ending theme All Alone With You by Egoist is just amazing. I listened to it every time and never skipez over it.

But overall I give this anime a 8/10. The music was amazing and the character development of not only the lead but almost all of the characters in the show was great to see as well. Definitely stick with it if you hit the lull like I did because you won’t be disappointed. Plus there is a sequel that I can’t wait to watch. So comment down below on what you thought of the show. I would love to know!

China Banned 38 Anime’s With More To Be Added!

Published June 10, 2015 by Shay Taree

alright so I’m sure that everyone has read this crazy news of China banning 38 anime titles from being seen and distributed. Some the titles include ones that many of us have watched and loved such as Attack On Titan, Death Note, High School Of The Dead, and Black Butler.

Now the reason behind this ban is because many of the anime show graphic violence, dark themes, and in many fighting against authority. It’s seems China feels like watching shows like these will make their citizens want to do these things. Sorry but I think that’s kind of stupid and I don’t agree with this kind of policeing (?) when it comes to forms of entertainment or expression of art.

I mean yes there can be a time and place for it if it’s harmful for society but that seems to be rare and far between. So why ban it? I don’t think the government should have a say in what we can watch but if it’s who can watch it that’s a different story since there is content that isn’t suitable for certain age ranges. But that is purely a suggestion since many of us I’m sure have watched things that we shouldn’t have necessarily been watching.

So it took me some digging but I found a completely list of the anime’s that were banned and here they are:

“Terror in Resonance

Blood-C

Highschool of the Dead

Ergo Proxy

Parasyte

The Skull Man

Another

Inferno Cop

Afro Samurai

Tokyo Ghoul √A

Sword Art Online II

Tokyo ESP

Tokyo Ravens

Devil May Cry

RIN – Daughters of Mnemosyne

The Testament of Sister New Devil

Attack on Titan

Corpse Party

Strike the Blood

Death Note

Deadman Wonderland

Date A Live II

Psycho-Pass

Devilman Lady

School Days

Those Who Hunt Elves

Elfen Lied

High School DxD

Samurai Bride
So, I Can’t Play H!
Girls Bravo: Second Season

Kanokon

Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero

Sakura Diaries

Black Butler

Claymore

Dance in the Vampire Bund”

Now I read that more may be added so we will soon see which of our favorite shows will be added to this already crazy list.

But what do you all think of this and how would you feel or what would you do if your government did this where you lived. Comment down below and let me know!

Love Live! School Idol Project Season 1 Review!

Published May 22, 2015 by Shay Taree

Yay so after so many weeks I have finally finished the first season of Love Live! School Idol Project! I must say that it was a pretty enjoyable series although at times I did get a bit bored.

The story is pretty much about a group of girls that are trying to save their school from closing by making a school idol group which is what is popular at the moment. The season then shows the ups and downs of the group as well as the adding of new members.

The songs were pretty catchy and very enjoyable. There were times when I wanted to skip the intro but I honestly couldn’t once the music started.

The only downside to this show that I found was that there was drama but it’s wasn’t anything that made me gasp or be anxious about until the end. Towards the end the drama got very real and that was when I was anxious but I just hated that it seemed so short. It was only about 2 episodes long that that drama lasted and it was resolved very quickly.

I loved the different cast of characters that were introduced and their different personalities definitely made the show. If your watching it with a group of friends you can definitely choose who would be which character.

The jury is still out on whether or not to watch the 2nd season but overall I give this show a 6/10. It had its great moments especially with the songs but it didn’t hold my interest during some parts.

If you’ve watched this show let me know what you thought of it by commenting down below. Also let me know how you liked this review!

Published May 14, 2015 by Shay Taree

So this time it’s not a discussion topic this time it is a review. I finally got a chance to read chapter 625 of Bleach and while there wasn’t a lot of action in this chapter there was still a lot that happened.

In the last chapter we were re-introduced to Grimmjow and I was so happy to have seen him return. Well in this chapter we were able to see that Grimmjow wasn’t the only character that has returned. Nel has returned

along with Riruka!

Yay!!! So there is a lot of explanation that needs to happen so overall I give this chapter a 7/10 due to many characters returning. But if you haven’t checked out the recent chapter check out soon. If you have then comment down below what you thought of it!

Sailor Moon Crystal Episode 21 Review!

Published May 5, 2015 by Shay Taree

I can’t believe that we are already on episode 21 of Sailor Moon Crystal and this weeks episode gave us quite a bit of back story on both the Black Moon Kingdom and on Chibi-Usa.

The episode starts off with the kidnapping of Usagi by Prince Demande and her waking up in their hideout.

There Prince Demande explains how he and his allies discovered Nemesis and why they are using the power of the Black Crystal. The he kisses Usagi which was just so wrong.

Back with our heroes they are trying to figure out how best to rescue Usagi and Chibi-Usa’s past is revealed. She can’t use the Legendary Silver Crystal and she is 900 years old! What!!!! But Chibi-Usa also explains why she took to the Crystal and it was because she was being bullied. She also believes that all of this is her fault because she took the Crystal.

Also in this episode we catch a small glimpse of the rest of the kidnapped Sailor Scouts. Which I absolutely loved and I hope they are back for more in the next episode. Also since the episode ended with Chibi-Usa being influenced by Wiseman I can sense that Black Lady is going to be making an appearance soon.

I give this weeks episode a 8/10 mostly due to the backstory that was explained in this weeks episode. There wasn’t a lot of action but I still enjoyed it and I definitely look forward to the next episode. But what did everyone else think of this episode? Comment below and let me know!

First Anime That Made You Cry?

Published May 1, 2015 by Shay Taree

Many of us have seen anime’s that have made us cry for example Clannad, Angel Beats, and Anohana. But can you remember the first one?

I remember that the first anime I ever cried during was one the last episode of the 1st season of Sailor Moon. It was when they were fighting Queen Beryl and all the other Sailor Scouts had been defeated and Serena was all alone.

It just broke my heart and I was balling my eyes out. Also I was 8 years old at the time. But even today when I’ve gone back and watched the episode it has made me kind of tear up and revert back to that 6 year old girl when I watched my first anime.

So share your stories down below of the first anime you’ve ever cried on. I would love to know and like always I will comment back!
