Paradise Kiss Anime Review

Published April 15, 2015 by Shay Taree

Yay!!! I finally got around to watching an anime that I have been meaning to watch for a while now and that’s Paradise Kiss. I had first heard about Paradise Kiss while looking for a good romance anime to watch but I wasn’t able to find a good website to watch it on. But finally I was able to and it was worth the wait. Also just to let you know there will be a few spoilers so if you don’t want to know about it then you may not want to read this review.

Here is the synopsis:

“Yukari is a typical high-school student who listens to her parents and attends school everyday. As she starts to question her way of life, she encounters a group of fashion design students who have a clothing label known as “Paradise Kiss”. The group needs to find a model to showcase their designs in an up-coming fashion show and decides to pick Yukari. Initially, Yukari is reluctant to be associated with this seemingly eccentric group, but eventually she realises they are really nice people. Furthermore, their passion and enthusiasm to follow their ideals and dreams make Yukari realise that she has not been enjoying her life and thus motivates her to pursue her own dreams. The story follows Yukari as she gets involved in the group and eventually falls in love with the leader, George.”

While Paradise Kiss may seem like your run of the mill romance anime it actually goes a lot deeper than that. It’s a good coming to age anime to show how many high schoolers may feel when they aren’t for sure where their life is supposed to go next or if they are just doing what they are doing because of their parents. I definitely felt that way while in high school and I feel that way now and I’m an adult.

Also the romance with Yukari and George while it does happen fast it still gets you excited as a viewer as to what will happen next with them. George is a strange character because he is very mellow toned and your not for sure where he is coming from at times. At one point he has completely fallen for Yukari and in another scene he is not sure about her. It keeps you on your toes since there are many times during the series that I thought they were going to break up.

Paradise Kiss also had the perfect mix of characters where they were very comedic but it didn’t take away from the drama or romance in the show. It made it much more light hearted and I looked forward to those moments.

The music in the show was also amazing! I loved the opening song! It had a nice beat to it that made me not mind listening to it for 12 episodes.

Now the most surprising thing about Paradise Kiss had to be the ending. The two main characters Yukari and George who are the main couple in the show don’t end up together at the end. Due to certain circumstances they end up going their separate ways and at first I didn’t like this since I invested 12 episodes into this couple but then once I thought about it, I realized that I was glad that they didn’t end up together. George taught Yukari a lot about herself and what she wanted to do with her life and I think that is what he was there to do. There is no denying that they loved each other but they weren’t meant to stay together.

Now I did watch Paradise Kiss dubbed and it was good! The voices to me worked well with the characters. Also the show is rated R 17+ due to profanity and there is a few sex scenes but nothing raunchy so don’t worry but if your someone that doesn’t like that kind of thing then you may want to skip this show.

But overall I give this show an 9.5/10. Paradise Kiss wasn’t your regular shoujo anime and it made me think about when I was in high school. So check out Paradise Kiss if you haven’t already. So comment down below what you thought of this review or let me know what you thought of this show. Like always I will answer back.

Good Luck Girl Anime Review

Published April 8, 2015 by Shay Taree

So I was in the mood to watch a funny anime and I was recommended the anime Binbougami Gai also called Good Luck Girl! This anime was definitely what I was looking for in a funny anime.

Here is the synopsis:

“At the expense of the people and things around her, Sakura has absorbed so much “happiness energy” that she has caused an energy imbalance in the world. In order to return balance to the world, the Poverty God, Momiji, sets out to take away Sakura’s ability to absorb this energy. Will Momiji be able to put a stop to Sakura’s absorbing abilities, or will the God succumb to her happiness?”

This show has so many different anime references so try and count how many you can find.

I know that when many people think of a funny anime they are hoping to get at least a few chuckles out of it but actually I was laughing out loud. ALOT!

The main character Ichiko Sakura while at times can be very sweet she can actually be a little devil.

She is constantly causing havoc and can be a bit selfish but there are several times during the series that she becomes self less and worried about others.

Then there is the poverty God Momiji Binboda.

Now she was hilarious and constantly caused a great amount of grief for Ichiko. She was always trying to find a way to get on Ichiko’s nerves or make fun of her. Although during the series there were moments when she seemed to really care about Ichiko and actually gave her some good advice.

Now I did watch this show dubbed and it was dubbed by Funimation but they did a really good job. The voices matched the characters and it was great to watch the action of the show without trying to read the subtitles.

Now there is a little bit of bad language and a few scenes that can be kind of sketchy so if you aren’t one for profanity or fan service then this is not the show for you. But if you don’t mind this kind thing then by all means watch the show and enjoy.

So overall I give this show a 8/10. This show was really funny and the serious parts of the show actually were good when I needed a break from the comedy. Like always comment down below what you thought of this review or show and I will comment back.

Sailor Moon a Crystal Episode 19 Review

Published April 6, 2015 by Shay Taree

So this week we were able to get a new episode of Sailor Moon Crystal and this episode I must say was amazing.

This episode we saw Usagi, Minako, Mamoru, Luna, Artemis, and Chibi-Usa travel forward in time to 30th century Tokyo. Plus we also got to meet the amazing Sailor Pluto.

I really liked this episode mostly because you were able to get more insight as to why Chibi-Usa went back in time to get the Silver Crystal. Plus this episode wasn’t entirely focused on fighting the Black Moon Clan. Even though they did show up during the middle of the episode it was a quick battle which caused some excitement but didn’t over power the episode.

Overall though I give this episode a 7.5/10. I was interested in the episode and loved finally seeing another Sailor Scout. But I’m mostly excited for the next episode that is to come.

But what did everyone else think of the weeks episode. Comment down below and like always I will answer back.

Mamotte Lollipop Anime Review!

Published April 3, 2015 by Shay Taree

Hello everyone!!! I’m currently in the middle of watching an anime but I didn’t want to leave you guys hanging with out an anime review. So I decided to post a review on the anime Mamotte Lollipop also called Save Me Lollipop.

Mamotte Lolipop is an adorable show that had me laughing from beginning to end and it also had quite a few sweet moments between the characters as well. Oh and don’t forget that it also had some drama.

Here is the synopsis:

“Nina, thinking it was a lolly, swallows an object called “Crystal Pearl”. But the candy turns out to be a test for the magicians. To retrieve the crystal, a special medicine has to be made so now Zero and Ichii, the magicians, have to protect her from others while waiting for the medicine to be completed.”

The anime was dubbed by Funimation and I watched the dub and found it to be done pretty well. You can find it on Funimation’s website for streaming as well as I’m sure on Hulu. So check it out.

I also read the manga under the same name as well as the sequel and both were done well and the anime followed the manga very well.

Overall I give this anime a 9/10 due to how cute and funny it was and also the sweet moments that made me go awwww or made my mouth drop open.

So thanks for reading this review and let me know what you think. Like always comment down below and I will answer back.

Akame Ga Kill Full Review

Published March 27, 2015 by Shay Taree

So I finally after more than a week have finished Akame Ga Kill and omg this show had me going until the very end. There is so much death and killing in this show that I definitely need to watch something happy next.

Many of you were right that I shouldn’t get attached to any of the characters and I had to keep repeating that to myself so that I didn’t. Unfortunately I did get quite attached to a few of the characters. Sorry but I couldn’t help it.

But the action in the show was awesome and while then action was literally everything I did really love the sweet and funny moments in the show. Including this sweet moment between Mine and Tatsumi.

The two fights that I loved the most was the fight between Akame and Kurome

and also the fight between Akame and Esdeath. Both fights were amazing and made me wish that I could fight like that.

The ending of the show kind of strange to me but it did complete the series rather well. But I think I may have to read the manga of the series to see if anything happens next.

Overall I give this series a 9/10. The action was awesome and the music definitely fit the series well. This show would keep anyone interested and watching from beginning to end.

But let me know what you thought of the show and this review. Comment down below and like always I will answer back.

Sailor Moon Crystal Episode 18 Review

Published March 23, 2015 by Shay Taree

So I just finished watching the newest episode of Sailor Moon Crystal and I actually enjoyed the episode.

It started off with kind of a quick recap with what happened during the last episode with Sailor Jupiter now being kidnapped. Also then Venus decides that once and for all they have to figure out if Chibi-Usa is friend or foe. Although they find out in the most unusual way which was by using one of Petz Malefic Black Crystal earrings. Chibi-Usa became scared as soon as she saw it in Mamoru’s hand.

In this episode we are also introduced to Calaveras who is the medium of the Spectre Sister. She uses her channeling powers to lure out the Sailor Scouts and is triumphant when Minako does appear.

Also Chibi-Usa takes Usagi’s brooch and that’s causes a whole bunch of havoc especially when they are confronted by Rubeus.

The best thing though had to be when Mamoru uses a new power that he awakens. I was so happy to finally see him using something besides those roses.

But overall I enjoyed this episode and can’t wait to see Sailor Pluto in the next episode.

I give this weeks episode a 7/10. It was still very run of the mill but it did answer a few questions that arose in the last episode. But what did you all think of this weeks episode? Comment down below and like always I will answer back.

Sailor Moon Crystal Episode 17 Review!

Published March 9, 2015 by Shay Taree

So of course this was another week where we were all treated to a new episode of Sailor Moon Crystal. Let me just say that this Black Moon Arc is definitely so much better than the first arc of this series. But let’s get into the review of this episode shall we.

So this episode started off with what is left of the Sailor Scouts still trying to figure out what to do regarding now both Sailor Mars and Sailor Mercury being kidnapped by the Black Moon. Usagi is of course depressed but surprisingly Chibi-Usa actually is trying her best to cheer Usagi up. She even lets her borrow her cute little Tuxedo Mask doll she got from Mamoru.

Also Chibi-Usa seems to be getting rather attached to Usagi which I’m actually really liking. It’s just so sweet seeing them interact with each other especially when they are at the arcade and get matching Sailor V dolls.

But this episode we got to meet Petz one of the Specter sisters.

Also this episode we got to know more about Makoto which was amazing. I’ve been wanting to know more about each scout and this arc is definitely doing that. Anyway Makoto ends up catching a cold and even while sick she was kick some major Black Moon butt.

But in the end she does end up getting captured as well. Which now leaves 2 scouts left.

I definitely can’t wait to the next episode where they try to figure out if Chibi-Usa is friend or foe. Overall I give this episode a 9/10. I was happy to see more of Chibi-Usa and find out more about Makoto.

But let me know what you all thought of this episode and what you think of the series so far overall. Like always I will always answer back to comments.

Sword Art Online II Review

Published March 3, 2015 by Shay Taree

So literally as I’m writing this I have quite a few tears in my eyes. Thankfully I didn’t completely lose it because I didn’t feel like re-doing my eye makeup but still I was pretty close.

But anyways I just finished season 2 of Sword Art Online and I actually really enjoyed it but honestly there were moments where I was like seriously where is this going. This was mostly during the later half of the show so don’t worry.

Now the beginning half of the show I enjoy so much because there was so much action. Kirito of course has to go inside another VRMMO game to figure out how players are once again not only dying in the game but also in real life. The game is called Gun Gale Online or GGO. Now I will say that the funniest moment is when Kirito sees what his avatar looks like. That moment had me laughing for a while. There he meets a girl and she has her own crazy past that honestly if that was me I have no idea what I would do.

Now the 2nd half of the series is where things became very slow at parts. I wasn’t for sure what the point of it was but all I know if that there was a lot of drama going on especially concerning Asuna and her mother. It wasn’t until the last 5 or 6 episodes that I started to get back into it again when another player by the name of Yuuki and her guild the Sleeping Knights were introduced.

Now this is where things got really sad and I’m definitely not going to spoil it for you so don’t worry but definitely go and watch it to find out what happens.

One of the things that I really liked about this series though that I didn’t notice until the end was that the later half mostly focused on Asuna and Kirito became a background character which I actually really liked. We as the viewers got to know more about Asuna, her personality, and also her fears. Which in the end made Asuna more relatable because you realized that she isn’t perfect and had her faults too.

Now the music in season 2 was actually pretty good. I loved the opening and ending songs but I especially loved the ending song later half of the series since it for the atmosphere of what was going on during the time and made you sadder.

Overall I really enjoyed this series even though there were moments where I wanted to just stop watching it. So I’ll give this show an 8/10 since the slow parts in the middle was a hurdle to get through but then the show redeemed itself towards the end. Now I’m going to go and watch something funny so I can stop being sad about this show.

So like always comment down below what you thought about Sword Art Online II and also this review. I will always answer back!

Kuroko’s Basketball Episode 7 Review

Published February 25, 2015 by Shay Taree

Alright so we finally got past what seemed like to me a long game between Akashi and Midorima. While it was exciting it felt good to get to the other matches during the tournament.

This new match was between Kise’s team and the Kuroko’s team. It was really cool to watch this match since they haven’t really faced each other in a match since a practice game where Serien beat Kise’s team.

Well you could definitely tell that Kise was ready to get this game underway since the look in his eye showed that he was ready.

Kise immediately showed that he was ready by using the copied moves the Generation of Miracles and doing the impossible such as stopping Kuroko’s Phantom Shot. Which Murisakibara couldn’t even do.

Also he ended up even using Akashi’s emperor eye on Kagami! Talk about a wow moment!

But overall I can’t wait until the next episode and I give this episode a 8/10. An 8 mostly due to the flash back at the beginning which was boring but after that it was completely action until the end.

If you saw this weeks episode leave your comments below and if you didn’t then still leave your comments below. I would love to hear all comments.

Happy Watching! ~ Anime Reviewer Girl

Anime Amino App Review

Published February 24, 2015 by Shay Taree

So today’s post is on an anime app that I’ve actually been using for quite a few years now and I think that others would also enjoy it.

It’s called Anime Amino and it’s basically a social network for anime fans.

It’s where anime fans can post about anything and everything that is anime related. There are chat rooms, forums, messages, and also opinion polls. It’s just an overall fun app.

I got this app since quite a few of my friends weren’t into anime and I wanted to find other people who were as interested in anime like I was. I’ve definitely made a lot of friends and I’ve also came across anime’s that I didn’t know about.

So if your looking for an app where you can meet more anime fans, make friends, find out about more anime shows, or find out about new shows then definitely download this app.

It’s definitely available in the App Store for iPhone. So far as I know it’s not available for android but I may be wrong. There also quite a few amino apps on different topics so you can definitely check those out as well.

Alright so that’s my post on anime amino. Let me know if any of you have this app and what you think of it and if you don’t let me know what you think of the concept. So leave a comment down below.
