The Appeal of Sci-Fi Anime!

Published October 19, 2015 by Shay Taree

So I’ve definitely seen my fair share of Sci-Fi anime but I’ve always wondered why people gravitate towards this genre of shows.
For me the main reason why I sometimes gravitate towards Sci-Fi anime shows is because of the plot involved and sometimes the futuristic aspect of these shows.

The two that I can definitely think about are Psycho Pass and Blue Gender. Both took place in a futuristic time period and both had a circumstance that really made you think. 

Psycho Pass had the aspect of using the different parts of someone’s personality to determine if they are capable of committing a crime. This was interesting to see unfold since I as the viewer thought about what if something like this did happen? What is this was possible in the future? It was something both amazing but terrifying to think about. 

  
Now Blue Gender had a different thing going for it where there were Aliens that had taken over Earth but there are people who had been frozen due to a disease that they had. The main character in the show was ultimately an asset to helping them beat the Aliens. But it was still something that made you think that maybe something that made someone different will ultimately be our only way of being able to survive. 

  
Sci-Fi anime’s have a way of pulling the viewer into worlds that are both terrifying but also interesting to see. Plus at least for me it’s a great way to escape reality and focus on something else for a while. 

But if you watch Sci-Fi anime why do you watch it? What makes it appeal to you? If you don’t watch Sci-Fi anime then I say give at least one a try. Now if you have and didn’t like it also tell me why you didn’t. I would love to know! Can’t wait to read your comments.

Rurouni Kenshin Anime Review!!!

Published October 14, 2015 by Shay Taree

Alright so today I’m reviewing the anime Rurouni Kenshin! Omg this show was really good and even though I watched this awhile back I still watch it over and over again. 

Oh and I also made a YouTube video of my review as well so check that out here

But anyway here is the synopsis:

“Himura Kenshin is a vagabond with a dark past and sunny disposition. Not a ronin but a rurouni, he was never a samurai, but an assassin of utmost skill in the Meiji restoration, who in the turning point of the war simply walked away. His travels lead him to Tokyo in the 11th year of the Meiji era, where he befriends a female Kendo master, a former thief, a brawler and a doctor all with their own secrets. Together they fight off the enemies surfacing from the dark past that Kenshin cannot escape. ”

  
This anime overall was a joy to watch and honestly made me want to pick up a samurai sword even though I would probably hurt myself in the process. 

Rurouni Kenshin also kind of has a little bit of something for everyone. It has some romance in it and while it’s not blatantly obvious there is always a character that is pointing it out. 

  
The art style is a little older looking since this anime did come out in the late 90’s I believe so it may take some getting used to.

As for the opening and ending songs well I’ll be honest I didn’t enjoy them but hey that’s just me. 

So definitely check out Rurouni Kenshin if you haven’t already. If you have seen comment down below and tell me what you thought of it.

Is Being A Nerd/Geek Now Trendy

Published October 12, 2015 by Shay Taree

Now some people may get mad since I’m using the term nerd or geek but hey I don’t mind the term and I definitely embrace my nerd or geek side.

But the reason why I thought of this topic is because I saw the coverage of New York Comic Con on TV and it got me thinking that things have now changed with how geeky or nerdy things are viewed.

  
Yeah there are some things that could change in this realm like anime being more mainstream but I feel like everyone is try to be nerdy or geeky. I guess I notice it with the fashions that are now out and also with the glasses that are now in trend.

  
I kind of think it’s awesome that people are embracing things that are geeky or nerdy but I still find it strange that all of sudden it’s kind of in trend to be nerdy. 

But what do you guys think of this or have you noticed that being geeky or nerdy is now a trend. Comment down below with what you think. I can’t wait to read you comments.

What If Disney Got The Rights To An Anime?

Published October 9, 2015 by Shay Taree

So since I was in Disneyland for a few days that made me really think about what if Disney got the rights to an anime. 
I know that a lot of other companies have gotten the rights to animes and have either dubbed them or made them into movies. But what anime’s that have already been made would you not mind if Disney had of gotten the rights to it. 
The only anime that I can think of is Sailor Moon and that’s mostly because Disney at least to me has done the Princess thing quite well. But they also need much stronger female characters. At least to me they do. Also since Disney is mainly known for their princesses (and Mickey Mouse) it would fit right into what they have usually done. 

  
But if Disney went with an action series I could see them going with either Dragon Ball Z 

  
or Yu Yu Hakusho. 

  
Just because while they both had action in them they also had some really great funny moments and great character development.

But what do you think? Comment down below with your opinion on this topic! I can’t wait to read it!

Attack On Titan Live Action Movie Review Part 1

Published October 7, 2015 by Shay Taree

So I went and saw the Attack On Titan live action movie and I’m not going to lie I definitely didn’t like it. They definitely changed for me the plot of the show in general, the characters personalities, & also left out a fan favorite character. 
Also check out my YouTube video video on the movie as well.
So the one thing that I definitely noticed is that they tried to bring more romance into the show. They definitely wanted to make it seem like there was a romance going on between Mikasa and Eren. It’s like in some ways the Titans was just a sub plot around the romance and tension between Mikasa & Eren. 
Also Eren and Mikasa’s personalities were very different then how they were in the anime. Eren in the movie very much tried to act like the hero the entire time and like he was the protector but in reality the one protecting him and trying to watch over him was Mikasa. Eren wanted to act like he was all tough when in reality he wasn’t but everyone knew that he could be.

  
Mikasa also very much came off in the beginning of the 1st movie like the girl that needed to be protected. 

  
She didn’t appear strong until you saw her in the military. 

  
Now for the character that everyone knows and loves which is Levi. Well he is not in the movie. I’m not going to lie when I found this out I was shocked. Levi may not be my favorite character but even I know that here are many people who love Levi so to me it’s stupid why they wouldn’t include him in the movie. 
The romance scenes in the movie also did not come off well. They were very very awkward. The romance scenes to be honest for me took away from the film and didn’t add to the story line in any way.
Overall though I did not enjoy the movie but I do plan to watch Part 2 just to see how the movie ends so look out for a part 2 of this review. Comment down below on whether or not you will see the live action Attack On Titan or if you have seen it let me know what you thought of it.

Who Is Your Anime Character Alter Ego?

Published October 2, 2015 by Shay Taree

Alright everyone so what I mean by this is what anime character is either the opposite of you or the character who’s personality you take on when your upset, mad, or just when your not completely yourself.

For me if I had to choose a character I would have to go with Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho. 

  
I mostly say him because I can be a bit of a loner sometimes because I really like my space. Also when I’m exactly the happiest person I tend to not want to cooperate with others and I also can say a few comebacks to people or friends that I’m not exactly happy with at the moment.

But what about everyone else? What anime character would you say is your alter ego or the personality you take on when your not completely yourself. I thought this would be fun since it’s different from what character are you most like. 

So anyway comment down below with your answer. I can’t wait to read them!

Date A Live Review

Published September 30, 2015 by Shay Taree

So I finally got a chance to watch Date A Live and I did enjoy it.

Here is my YouTube video of my Date A Live review 

but you can keep reading below for my written review!

 There were definitely moments when I got bored with the show. But they didn’t out weigh the good. Here is a synopsis of the show:

“Itsuka Shido is a high school boy. On the last day of the spring holidays, an explosion destroys the town and a girl in armor appears in front of him. Shido’s step-sister, Kotori, tells him that the girl is called “Special Disasterous Designated Creature: Spirit”, which causes a timespace quake. Kotori disclosed that she is the commander of the anti-spirit organization Ratatosk and orders him to go out on a date with the spirit girl. Kotori says, “I don’t ask you to beat the spirit. Just let her fall in love with you and save the world.”

At first when I started watching the show I did get pretty confused since I wasn’t for sure where it was going but then once it hit like mid way I got very into it and realized how funny this show was. The hilarious parts of the show were a lot of times from the side characters like Shido’s friend who was quite funny whenever he was around.

  
Now this is a harem show so if your not one for harems then you may not like this show but it definitely wasn’t bad. I don’t mind harem shows because I find them pretty interesting. 

By far though my favorite part of the show was definitely the last few episodes when it got very dramatic just because it fun to see the characters be serious for a nice length of time.

  
But overall I give this show a 7 out of 10. It was definitely enjoyable and had great humor involved. It also had romance which I of course like and it also had some dramatic moments to give the show some depth. So if you haven’t seen it check it out and if you have let me know what you think of it.

Original Movie Turned Anime!

Published September 28, 2015 by Shay Taree

I just recently thought about this but what original movie meaning your regular live action movie would you love to see turned into an anime?

Well for me I would love to see Harry Potter turned into an anime. 

  
I don’t know why but it just seems really interesting to me especially since it deals with magic that it wouldn’t be all the weird to see it animated.

But what about everyone else? What do you think or what show would you like to see? Comment down below because I would love to read your thoughts.
