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.

Sailor Moon Crystal Episode 16 Review

Published February 23, 2015 by Shay Taree

So this weeks episode of Sailor Moon Crystal had us meeting another one of the Spectre Sisters. This time we meet Berthier and she and the Black Moon Clan are after Ami.

Now this episode and this arc overall I’m really enjoying since it’s finally letting us get to know all of the scouts individually which we didn’t get during the first arc. With this episode we got to know a little bit more about Ami and her past concerning her parents. We also got to know about what one of her fears are which was definitely good to see.

I will definitely say that the cutest moment in this series was when Mamoru let Chibiusa rest at his place after he and Luna find her and he is holding her hand.

That was such a sweet moment that was ultimately kind of ruined by what I deem a corny moment. Mamoru and that crazy puppet made me laugh but at the same moment I was cringing.

The most epic moment for me that I really liked was the chess match between Berthier and Ami.

It was cool since there was two mental matches going on. One with the chess game and the other with the mental match the Berthier is playing with Ami.

I would have to definitely give this episode a 9 out of 10. I absolutely loved this episode and can’t wait to see what happens next. But what did everyone else think of this episode? Comment down below and let me know.

Shōnen Hollywood Anime Review. ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶

Published February 21, 2015 by Shay Taree

Alright so I finished Shōnen Hollywood about a week ago and this was a strange anime to watch overall. I decided to watch this anime because I’ve watched musical anime’s before such as Uta No Prince Sama and La Corda D’Oro. So assumed there would be some similarities as well as differences but I didn’t really enjoy it.

So the gist of the show is about a group of guys that are scouted for various reasons to become basically the remix of a boy band that was around 15 years prior.

At first I was excited about the show but then slowly but surely I started to lose interest and at times get confused. Now there were some enjoyable parts like some of the songs and the funny moments but overall I found the show to be very emotional in parts and not a emotional but an emotional where I was like why is he upset.

The character development of the series was okay because we did get the back story of a few of the characters but it wasn’t enough to get me to have an attachment to them or have my favorite. But it was just enough to keep me invested in the anime a bit longer.

There weren’t many songs in the show overall but the opening song definitely had me nodding my head along so not all was lost. But the background music in the show didn’t catch my ear at all.

Currently the 2nd season is airing and I’m debating watching it once it’s finished so we will see. But I’m leaning on the side of yes just so I can see of it gets better. But as an overall grade I will give this show a C-. While it did have a few enjoyable parts to keep me interested until the end there were definitely parts when my mind started to wander and I was waiting for something more to happen.

If you have seen this series let me know what you thought of it. Also if anyone is currently watching the 2nd season let me know if it’s worth watching. Leave your comment below and like always I will always answer.

Kuroko’s Basketball Episode 6 Review

Published February 18, 2015 by Shay Taree

So another new episode of season 3 of Kuroko’s Basketball has aired and I’m not going to lie but I wasn’t as into this episode as I thought I was.

The episode started off and continued with the match between Akashi and Midorima. Midorima and his team was definitely trying as much as they could to get around Akashi’s emperor eye. But it wasn’t working. At one point Akashi even scores in his own teams goal. Now I guess that was to make a point that no matter how hard you try and even if I score in my own goal you and your team won’t win.

Akashi was definitely right about that because when Midorima went up against Akashi all that ended up happening is Midorima fell down to the ground due to the weight of the emperor eye and Akashi ended up scoring to end the game. Akashi is definitely someone to look out for.

I can’t wait for the next episode because I really want to get to the match between Akashi, Kuroko, and Kagami.

So what do everyone else think of this episode. Leave your comments below to let me know.

Kuroko’s Basketball Episode 3 Review!

Published January 27, 2015 by Shay Taree

Alright so this past Sunday episode 3 of the 3rd season of Kuroko’s basketball aired and this episode was action from beginning to end.

Not only did you get to see the conclusion of the match but you also got to see more of the background story concerning Haizaki and his history with the Generation Of Miracles.

The episode of course starts off where it left of with Kise facing Haizaki. It was learned in the previous episode that Haizaki pillages other players moves which leaves the player unable to perform that move anymore. This throw a Kise for a loop because he copies moves and like Aomine says he only has a small pool to choose from. This causes Kise to get a little well let’s just say that Kise wasn’t himself.

Then in a flashback you see why Haizaki doesn’t like the Generation Of Miracles based off a street ball match that he played in the gentleman he played ends up saying something along the lines with he is as good as the Generation Of Miracles. This of course makes Haizaki mad.

In another flashback it shows Akashi telling Hazaki he needs to quit and then after shows Kuroko speaking to Haizaki. Haizaki is standing in front of what looks like a furnace and contemplating throwing his shoes in which he ultimately does.

Once it restarts back to the match Kuroko ends up standing up and tell Kise that he can do it which causes Kise to jump into gear and start using moves from the Generation Of Miracles which is amazing!

Of course the episode ends with Kise’s team winning and then now the final four have been announced! So let the finals begin!

Overall I loved this episode! Kise has to be one of my favorite Generation Of Miracles so being able to see him show off his copying skills was one of my favorite parts.

So if you haven’t checked out Kuroko’s Basketball yet you definitely should its a good anime that will have you wanting to play basketball.

Sailor Moon Crystal Episode 13 Review

Published January 6, 2015 by Shay Taree

So this week a new episode of Sailor Moon Crystal was released and I can actually say that this episode was one that I actually enjoyed! This episode was very nostalgic to me because I still remember watching the final episode and actually crying.

But anyway the episode started off where it left off in the last episode with Usagi stabbing herself. After that the scouts appear and are obviously distraught over what has happened to Usagi and Endymion. After that Queen Metalia absorbs Endymion and Usagi which causes Luna to try and attack Metalia to get them back.

Luna ends up getting defeated and remembers Queen Serenity and how she wanted her to protect Usagi. Which causes her to get sad and feel that she has failed.

After that Luna asks Artemis to take her to the moon and they disappear but the other scouts don’t count themselves out yet and try their best to get Usagi and Endymion back and they do. After which Usagi and Endymion try to fight Metalia which is where the episode ends.

I honestly can’t wait for the next episode to see what happens. So happy watching!

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.

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.

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!

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!
