Monthly Girls Nozaki Kun Review

Published December 23, 2014 by Shay Taree

Alright so I had started watching Monthly Girls Nozaki Kun after reading the synopsis of it and I found it to be pretty interesting. Well I’m sorry to say that I didn’t find it very interesting. It’s not very often that I don’t finish an anime but this was one of those times.

At first I found the anime to fairly sweet with the main female Chiyo being very cute but also really funny and the main male lead Nozaki being the oblivious male he is and not noticing Chiyo. But Nozaki is pretty focus on his career of writing shoujo manga and plus Chiyo didn’t exactly phrase her confession correctly when she did by saying she was a fan of his instead of saying she had feelings for him.

Now while you could tell that Chiyo had feelings for Nozaki it just seemed like there wasn’t a lot of romance going on in this anime. I was anticipating for it to happen at least a little bit but after being more than halfway through I just completely gave up. Not only that but I found the story line hard to follow and at times not understanding what was going on at all or the plot of the story.

Now I know many people have enjoyed this anime and while I didn’t I may give the manga a chance to see if that is possibly better than the anime. So anyway if any of you have watched this anime then let me know your opinions of it and if I should give it another chance. For those of you who have read or are reading the manga let me know if it’s worth reading and better than the anime. Well that’s it for now so enjoy and happy watching.

Favorite Anime Villain?

Published December 18, 2014 by Shay Taree

So I know that In many anime’s that I have watched there is usually an evil villain or at least someone that your supposed to not like. So I decided to post about who is your favorite villain.

I actually have two favorite villains and they are vastly different from each other. My first favorite is Light Yagami from Death Note. Light actually started off trying to do something good and then became corrupted and the villain of this anime. Now us as the viewer saw the story from Light’s eyes which was an interesting point of view. Now not many people want to consider Light a villain but for me he fits the villain category since he did some pretty evil things so cover his tracks.

The second villain that is my favorite is actually Beerus the main villain from the Dragon Ball Z Battle Of The Gods movie. Even though he was the villain I couldn’t hate him. I think it’s because he was very funny and for a villain very likable. Even though he is set out to destroy the planet he has fun while figuring out if he is or not.

So those are my favorite villains. So now I would like to know who your favorite villains are and why? Also once again happy watching!

Favorite Fairy Tail Couple

Published December 16, 2014 by Shay Taree

Now I know that the main 4 couples in Fairy Tail are Natsu and Lucy, Gray and Juvia, Erza and Jellal, and Levy and Gajeel.

Now I have a favorite out of those 4 and its Levy and Gajeel. I’m not for sure why but I think it’s because I love how completely opposite they are. Levy while of course she is strong she also has a slightly nerdy side to her since she loves to read. Not only that but she also has a slight innocence to her that I like.

Gajeel on the other hand is very tough and can be very stubborn. But to me he seems to have a softer side to him especially when it comes to Levy.

I’m just totally in love with this couple and I hope they get together by the end of the anime/manga. But what about you guys. Who is your favorite couple from Fairy Tail? It doesn’t have to be those couples that I mentioned it could even be a different one.

But anyway happy watching everyone!

Saddest Naruto Death

Published December 11, 2014 by Shay Taree

So since Naruto is now over I thought I would ask a question regarding what Naruto death did you find the saddest or most surprising.

For me the saddest death had to be Asuma’s since we saw him die and then Shikamaru’s reaction after Asuma’s death. Even though Asuma wasn’t a huge character in the Naruto universe he was still a memorable character.

The most surprising death has to be Neji’s mostly because Neji while he was apart of the Konoha 11 you kind of didn’t like him due to his attitude and how he treated Hinata. But Neji’s backstory was definitely pretty said and at the end when he dies for Hinata it made you really like him and realize that he wasn’t a bad guy.

So that for me was the most surprising and saddest deaths to me in Naruto. What about for the rest of you? Leave your comments below about what you think.

Sailor Moon Crystal Episode 11 Review

Published December 9, 2014 by Shay Taree

So this weekend we were finally able to see a new episode of Sailor Moon Crystal and I enjoyed some aspects of this episode but there was also a few that I don’t enjoy.

The main thing that I did like about this episode was finally being able to see Sailor Venus’s transformation. It was the one transformation that many of us haven’t had a chance to see. But that was probably the only thing that I liked about this episode.

I was talking with one of my friends about this episode and we both couldn’t understand how Usagi didn’t get mad when her friends were all beaten up my Mamoru but when Luna got hurt she got angry. She should have gotten angry a lot sooner. Not only that but it took her so long to transform plus seeing the other transformation sequences just made everything really boring.

The sad thing is that Queen Beryl is actually kind of likable in this series. Maybe it’s because she hasn’t been in the series all that much I’m not entirely sure. But overall it was actually good to see her appear.

I think overall this was probably my least favorite episode so far since not a lot happened. But overall at this point I’ve been kind of disappointed in this series. I was very excited for the new series but with the route that they chose I’m not really liking it. None of the Sailor Scouts have a personality so far where you you can choose which scout you like the most. They all are the same and the show doesn’t have that comedic flair like the original one did. I’m hoping that the rest of the series gets a lot better or if there is another season that it get a better upgrade as far as story line and character personalities are concerned.

So there is my review I hope that you all enjoyed it and once again leave you comments below because I love to hear what you all think.

Happy watching!

Favorite Anime Love Story?

Published December 4, 2014 by Shay Taree

So this is a topic that I’ve thought about for a while and I was wondering what everyone’s favorite anime love story is. It doesn’t have to be an anime that is completely romance it could be an anime that is mostly action but has an underlying romantic tone to it.

For me I have two favorites! One is a totally romance anime and the other one is mostly action but has romantic moments in it.

The first one is Itazura Na Kiss. I literally stayed up all night to see how this anime ended. Basically it’s about a girl who isn’t all that smart and has a crush on a guy that is very smart and completely out of her league. They end up having to live under the same roof due to an earthquake destroying the house of the girl. Along the way they end up falling in love with each other but the best part is that it shows them getting married and they trials with being married as well as when they end up having a child. It was just a cute love story that I’m still not tired of.

The second love story that I really like is Inuyasha. Surprisingly enough even though there was a lot of action in this anime the love story between Inuyasha and Kagome was one that was wonderful and really fun to see. Also it had its frustrating moments when Inuyasha would do something stupid and make Kagome mad.

So those are the two anime’s that I absolutely love the romantic story that is involved. So leave you comments below on what is your favorite anime love story.

Naruto Manga Review!

Published December 2, 2014 by Shay Taree

Alright so now that the Naruto manga is now over I decided to do a review on it. So here goes! Also if you haven’t read the manga then warning there are SPOILERS!!! (Sorry)

I through enjoyed this manga but I can’t help but wish that each chapter was a lot longer! Each chapter was arounds 21-24 pages long which was not nearly long enough because it definitely kept me hanging. But in a way the shorter chapters were a good thing since it kept me excited to read the next chapter when it was released.

I also can’t help but say that the fact that the author killed off some pretty notable characters such as Jiraya, Neji, and Asuna was unbelievable and actually made the story even better. It also made me feel something for all the characters that were involved.

Speaking of which the one thing that really touched me was the back story behind what happened to Naruto in the first place. I couldn’t help but really feel for Naruto and get sad especially since Naruto didn’t ask for any of it and he was really picked on and shunned because of it. It made me wonder what I would do if I was in that situation which is a funny thought of you think about it. But overall that was one of things that I enjoyed.

The artwork of the manga was amazing and very easy to follow even when there was a fight scene going on. So thanks so much for that.

One thing I know that a few fans myself included are thankful for is the fact that several pairings that people wanted to see happen did end up happening. It felt good to know that us as the reader was right when it came to guessing or pairing up who was going to end up with who.

The only things I didn’t like about the manga was the ending. I feel like even after all those chapters that it was still rushed. We didn’t get to see what happened after Naruto and Sasuke’s fight, we didn’t get to see Kakashi as Hokage, we didn’t get to see how Naruto became Hokage and the drama that may have caused, and above all else we didn’t get to see our many favorite pairings in the manga finally get together. But hopefully that will all be answered in the last Naruto movie!

But overall the Naruto manga was very enjoyable to read and definitely a manga I’m sad to see end. But it had to end at some point. So for those of you who haven’t read it you should and for those of you who have what did you think of it? Leave your comments below with your opinions and let me know!

Happy watching/reading!

Free Eternal Summer Review

Published November 25, 2014 by Shay Taree

So I just finished the 2nd season of Free with was titled Free Eternal Summer. I was definitely looking forward to watching the 2nd season of this show since I did honestly enjoyed the 1st season.

So the 2nd season had the same list of characters that was in the 1st season but they did introduce 2 substantial new characters to the series and that was Momotaro Mikoshiba who is the younger brother of Seijuurou Mikoshiba who if you remember is the captain of Sametsuka Academy. Momotaro was definitely some of the new comic relief for this series since he is really funny and he introduction into the show was one you can’t honestly forget.

Another new character is Sousuke Yamazaki who is an old friend of Rin and actually swam with him when they were in middle school. He’s a little bit of a sullen character and I could help but not exactly like him due to the fact that he has a very strange and rude confrontation with Haruka. He also has an underlying issue that you will find out about in the later half of the series. But regardless he is also a very hot character like the rest of them.

I know that one of the complaints that I heard a lot of during the 1st season of this show is that there wasn’t a lot of depth to the actual plot and many people found it to be kind of boring or that it mostly focused on how hot the guys were. But during the 2nd season I was very surprised with how emotional the season was.

This season was very much about the boys futures and what they were going to do once high school was over. Which I can understand because many times you don’t know really what you want to do after high school. The person that seems to have the hardest time with it is Haruka since he only really wants to swim and that is what his entire focus is on.

Towards the end of the series though you do see a change in Haruka’s attitude and he is more kept to himself and a lot more angry when people ask him about what is wrong or about his future. It seems to be something that he doesn’t want to discuss or think about even though he knows that he has too.

Once he figures out his decision thanks to Rin which is definitely a surprise he becomes a much happier guy. While before Haruka was a very kept to himself character and didn’t say a lot of words but after he realizes where he went wrong he starts to crack a few smiles and laugh freely. He also apologizes to the friends that he ended up hurting when he was in that terrible mood of his.

At the end of the series I also couldn’t help shedding a few tears since at the end of series Haruka, Makoto, and Rin were going on with their lives since they have now graduated. It was definitely an emotional ending to this series and I didn’t think I would cry.

But overall I really did enjoy the 2nd season a lot more then the 1st since the plot had some twist and turns that I didn’t see coming and also you got to see into the minds of the characters a lot more. So if you are on the fence about watching the 2nd season of Free I say you should definitely check it out because I was very surprised.

Happy watching!

Bleach Anime Review!

Published November 20, 2014 by Shay Taree

So since the Bleach anime is now officially over I can finally do a review on it. I know that anime has actually been over for a few years but I was watching the Bleach anime dubbed which means it took a while for me to actually see it. So let’s get started on this review!

Synopsis: 15-year-old Kurosaki Ichigo is not your everyday high school student. He has from as far as he can remember always had the ability to see ghosts and spirits. A fateful day arrives as Ichigo encounters the shinigami Kuchiki Rukia, who saves him and his family from a Hollow at the cost of injuring herself. During the encounter, with Rukia unable to defeat the hollow she transfer her shinigami powers into Ichigo. In the aftermath, unable to continue with her job, Rukia allows Ichigo to take on the role of a shinigami in her place as they together defeat the Hollows plaguing Ichigo’s town.

Music: The music in this show was one word AMAZING!!!! I have so many of the Bleach openings and endings on my iPhone it’s crazy! The songs definitely get you in the mood to watch the show and many times the endings fit what exactly is going on during the current arc of the show. Even the music that was inserted into the show during fight scenes or emotional scenes made you feel what each character was feeling or made you energize for what was going to happen.

Story: Sooooo the story for Bleach was definitely a long one!!!! I love the concept of Bleach but I hated the filler arcs in the series. Okay I will admit that I did like a few of the filler arcs like the Zanpakuto arc. But I completely hated the bount arc. I found it very boring and couldn’t wait for it to be over. But overall it was a good story but it did have a tendency to drag itself out which got pretty boring and repetitive.

Characters: I definitely loved a majority of the characters in this series! Each character had their own personality and you could definitely find people in your own life that could totally be a specific character. Also each character looked extremely different and had their own signature look. For example Ichigo had his orange and hair and Rukia had that one piece of hair that hung in front of her face. This is what made me like Bleach so much is because the characters were just so amazing and different.

Alright so that is my review on the Bleach anime. Yes I know the manga is still on going and I am currently still reading it. So when that decides to end I will be reviewing that as well. Happy watching!
