D.Grayman Review

Arystar Krory, Miranda Lotto, Lavi, Allen Waker, Timcampy, Yu Kanda, Lenalee, Komui

D.Gray-Man is an anime/manga based on a war between humans and akuma (demons).

The story is mostly about Allen Walker and what he goes through as an Exorcist (someone who is a apostle of god). Exorcists are the people who are synchronized with innocence ( a.k.a. Anti-Akuma weapon) and fight the Akuma. All Exorcists are within the Black Order (the GOOD side) and all Akuma are under control of the Noah and the Millennium Earl (who is in control of the Noah as well= BAD). Also within the Black Order you got: Science Division, Finders (they investigate stuff that might be involved with innocence and some other stuff), Cooking, and Medical. K NOW THT IS DONE I CAN START THE REVIEW!!!

Allen Walker was born with innocence inside is left hand. The innocence made his arm deformed and because of this he was abandoned as a child. He was founded by Mana Walker who then took Allen in and raised him. When Mana dies not very long after forming a father/son bond, Allen starts to mourn. LESSON: Mourning= Visit from the Earl who offers to bring said loved one back= level 0 Akuma= akuma ordered to kill the one who mourned. Got it? What happened in that lesson is basically what happened to Allen except: Mana (the level 0 Akuma) cursed Allen’s left eye so that he will see an Akuma’s suffering soul, Allen’s left arm forms into a weapon after Mana (akuma can’t restrain themselves when ordered) attacks, and Allen destroys the akuma and sets Mana’s soul free. This is very traumatic to Allen and manages to turn Allen’s hair from brown to white. During this he meets General Cross (one of the strongest exorcists in the black order) and becomes his apprentice which is around where Allen starts to become an exorcist.

Anyway being the “GREAT” master General Cross is… after a few years of training he knocks Allen out and disappears leaving Allen to figure where the Black Order is on his own. When Allen finds the Black Order he is introduced to the craziness right away.

Cross, Tiedoll, Sokaro, Klaud Nine

These are some of the exorcists:

Kanda: Kanda is the First Person Allen meets, and immediately they don’t get along. He is cold and arrogant to everyone and pretends not to care. He also keeps stating that he wont die easily. He has fast healing abilities. (wasn’t shown in anime but if you read manga you will find out why)

Lenalee: She has bad history with innocence. When she was little and the innocence chose her and the Black Order took her away from Komui (her brother) and locked her up in her room until she would stop trying to kill herself or running away. When her Brother became Chief she stayed by his side whenever she could until she accepted the order as her home more and more.

Komui: The only reason he stays at the order is for Lenalee. He is very protective over her which can be funny and serious at some points. (not exorcist XP)

Miranda: She has some issues with bad luck… her innocence more defense then offense. After the rewinding town arc  you don’t see her again until the around the edo arc (long time) after she finished her training.

Lavi & Bookman: Bookman isn’t shown in the pic at the top but he and Lavi basically record the events of the world. They joined the Order to record more on the war. Lavi have 48 other names. His latest one being Deke. He will succeed Bookman and is sometimes called Jr. He also wears an eye patch and i’m not sure of the reason, but it’s not injury related.

Krory: Fell in love with an Akuma with out knowing it. Allen and Lavi went to investigate where he lived when they heard he was a vampire (which he is kinda) but it was revealed (even to Krory) that he only drinks Akuma blood *thx to innocence* (if your wondering about how he didn’t know, its that Akuma can wear the skins of those they kill). He later kills the akuma he loves (Eliade) after she tries to kill him, Lavi, and Allen. He can be very naive.

The REAL conflict starts when one of the 5 generals (the General that died isn’t in the pic above, sorry) is murdered by the Noah of pleasure, Tykii, and the Noah of Dreams, Road. So Allen and the other exorcists must recover the other 4 generals before something happens to them. Which means they have to hunt down Cross as well. During this the series goes on a little roller-coaster of emotions. Basically 75% of the time you will feel either intrigued, happy, or laughing. the other 25% of the times its pretty dang depressing. The series is really great though. It has a great plot and good pacing. The only thing that sucks is that it was canceled due to budgeting and not enough viewers, and that the ending was kinda depressing as well   (plus it left me confused). The anime has a total of 103 episodes ( lol it was worth it) and the manga is still on going (its a monthly)

(i loved all of the openings so it was hard to choose X.x)

>.< i wish this anime wasn’t canceled! (then rest of what i have to say is in the review ^_^)

Cromartie High School Review

The funniest thing i have ever seen/read

Ever been in the same grade (in school) with a rich kid?  A guy with a mohawk? How about a fat kid?

Okay….Ever been in school with a gorilla? A robot? Ever been in school with Freddie Mercury??

Probably the only anime i know that ended because the author didn’t want to draw anymore.

Takashi Kamiyama (the dude in the middle, he’s fricken 16, LIES I TELL YOU) is a regular dude.  When he was getting bullied, his friend came and rescued him.  His friend pleaded that he enroll in the same highschool as him.  His friend, frankly, was a dumbass and was aiming for Cromartie High School, the school for delinquints.  The duo take the entrance exams, and only Kamiyama makes it, how stupid was that guy?  Well Kamiyama has to settle in for the worst school wether he likes it or not.  On his fateful first day, he meets Hayashida (dude with a purple mohawk), Maeda (dude who is ignored because he doesn’t have an awesome nickname), freakin Freddie Mercury aptly named Freddie, Mechazawa (a robot), Gorilla (….gorilla).  On his next few days, he meets Takenouchi (fatty who has motion sickness) and Hokuto (rich bastard and his servant).  There are rival school gangs but damn, its a lot of characters and all of them are hilarious.  I might as well tell you the gang leaders of other schools.  In Bass High, theres Jackson, strange name for a japanese kid.  Then theres Destrade with Yamaguchi who has a hilarious perception of life regarding comedy.  And Fujimoto for Manuel High who owns his own message board.

The show/manga has no comprehensible plot, its just days and days of the most unique school in the world.

Let me tell you now that it has the best English dub EVER.

The series’ staple are its many deadpan jokes which i can’t really explain so, go watch it, i’m tellin you, you will love it….if you have a sense of humor

I really have no comment, its funny as shit and both the manga and anime has ended (a long time [it ended in 2003] ago).  The first few episodes will make you chuckle but the later episodes will make you lol.

Goddamn, i wish my school was this awesome

Oreimo Review

Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai, wow, longass title.  It translates to My Little Sister can’t be this cute, it started off as a Light Novel series

To me, the most suprising anime i ever saw.  First i called it “Crap” now i call it “Holy crap, that was actually good.”

The very idea of a sexual relationship between brother and sister can either be viewed by the following 4 examples

• 1: DISGUSTING! (Mostly the religous view it this way)
• 2: Age difference matters, so i go both ways
• 3: …..if she’s hot
• 4: Why???

Well i was the 4th option when i first heard about this series.

The story spins around the Kousaka family, mainly between Kyosuke and Kirino, they are siblings.  The two, for as long as they remember are the most disfunctional sibling relationship.  Kyousuke, the protagonist sees his sister as someone who just lives in his house, their relationship is sour, and they rarely talk to eachother.  All that changes when one day, Kyousuke finds a anime DVD.  He mentions it during dinner but his anti otaku father (my hero lol) completely bashes it, his sister then gets up and leaves.  Later that night, she invites Kyousuke into her room.  She reveals that she collects anime, manga, light novels, DVD’s, and eroge gamees (basically, anime sex games) all based around brother-sister relationships, in a simple term, she’s an otaku.  Kyousuke is baffled to say the least and Kirino tells him to be basically her “confidant” or someone who someone bases some type of trust.  Kirino is still an angry little sister to him, most of the time.  Eventually, Kyousuke decides to take on for the duo and say that some games are his and he’s the otaku to protect his sister.  Later we meet a few of Kyousuke’s friends in which the anime only gives them little screentime.  Then we meet a few more principal cast members.  In the beginning episodes, Kyousuke encourages Kirino to find some people who share her passion to which she reluctantly agrees.  There she meets Saori and “Kuroneko”

Left to right: Saori, Kuroneko, Kirino, Manami (Kyousuke’s friend), and Kyousuke

Saori is a girl who doesn’t really care.  Make fun of her looks, she won’t care, she knows she looks bad.  And damn do i hate those glasses.

Kuroneko (real name Gokou Ruri) is a girl who basically is Kirino only that she is focused on teenage related anime unlike Kirino’s little sister one.  In the light novel, Kyousuke goes out with her.

The meetings between Kirino and her new friends continue and more banter between her and her brother continue. Some friend problems shows up whatever, go watch it

The manga, i don’t even read it.  But the anime follows the good ending in which the cold case tsundere Kirino finally breaks.  The bad end special which is coming up, i don’t want to even know.

Good series, i really hated Kirino’s attitude, if i ever had a sister, i’d beat that bitch.  Whether im too cruel, or if i just grew up from a rough family, im not letting a bitch whose my OWN sister to which i am the older sibling ever get away with that kind of behavior.  I was really suprised at the end, but im guessing you could see that ending coming.

(Really unorthadox review, i’m sorry x1000)

Sora no Otoshimono Review

Lets do this

Sora no Otoshimono is a story about Sakurai Tomoki who lives in a small town.  He has a cute next door neighbor who is a predictable childhood friend.  Tomoki wishes his ordinary ableit boring life to continue.  We also find out in the beginning that Tomoki is a huge pervert too.  Also we see that his neighbor Mitsuki Sohara is a predictable childhood friend and neighbor who happens to beat Tomoki (or any other guy who they were friends with) senseless.  There are also the crazy New Continent Club President whose name i never really cared to remember and his sadistic friend, the student council president who comes from a family of Yakuza, or thats how i remembered lol.

Well, everything is fine and dandy until one day, a disturbance occurs and then the Club Pres. tells Tomoki to investigate a location while he himself tries to get there.  Then things get out of hand and he tells Tomoki to back out.  Tomoki decides to stay but then, something falls down from the sky.   Tomoki tries to catch that “something” which happens to be a girl…with wings.  The thing refers to itself as an “Angeloid” named Ikaros, and from now, Tomoki is her master.  Tomoki soon discovers the wonders Ikaros can do (he told her to strip herself and immediately she did only he stopped her) like summon a million dollars or panties.  After a little “talk” or beating with his friend, and a little explanation to his colleagues, Ikaros stays with Tomoki.  Then later in the series, 2 more angeloids stay at his house named Nymph and Astraea.  Nymph is a stealth angeloid, shes the smarter one out of most of the angeloids.  She’s the “tsundere” in the story, and shes a loli…..the infamousd duo that i rarely encounter, i hate her.  Astraea is dumb, and shes a blonde….i have no idea if that was a coincedence or not, but hey, shes hot.

Behind this is kind of a dark story where these guys or people with wings (they’re kinda evil to be called Angels) who basically created the Angeloids and made them their playthings.  Angeloids are like warmachines, they fight pretty well.  Ikaros or Alpha is like the most powerful but also the most emotionally week.  Ikaros was the first to be freed from the “Angel”‘s power.  Nymph or Beta was sent down to subdue Alpha but seeing how her masters are cruel decided that Tomoki should be her master.  Astraea or Delta is literally stupid and just doesn’t want to listen to them.  Most of the time its just perverted scenes and Tomoki getting beaten up or a romantic subplot, or plot i guess.  If its not that, its fighting to some extent.

The manga series is going on while the first season ended a few years (or was it a year?) back.  The 2nd season Sora no Otoshimono Forte just ended, and i have no idea if theres gonna be a 3rd one.

I also wanna tell the people reading ( if there is anyone reading D: ) why i like this series when it itself is jam packed with ecchi.  First off, the main character like most all guys of this type of genre of manga/anime is a pervert. But this dude isn’t afraid to admit it, he has millions of magazines, he once made a telescope to see every single girl’s panties.  But most of the time, when hes not in his serious attitude, hes in his chibi form which made me forget how he looked like.  What i hate about this series is the neighbor, jeez, if she likes him, why beat him? beating someone senseless won’t help, unless they are masochistic (i spelled it wrong i know) She’s cute but damn, ease off on the guy. 

Otherwise, funny series.  I would reccommend it

The World God Only Knows Review

An original manga now an anime, which ended a day ago but was renewed for a second seasons, was it that good?

Above: Probably 75% of the girls the main character had to romance (i will explain…)

During the time i was completely bored with manga and the games i had, i went to Mangafox to find some random stuff to read, then i stumbled upon this.

The Premise: Gaming nerd (no not the CoD or Mass Effect kind of games, this kid plays dating sim games) Keima Katsuragi is the school’s nerd.  He plays dating sim games on his PFP (PSP) all day, even in school.  As much as he is a gaming nerd, he’s a freaking genius.  Even if he’s smart, he is constantly ridiculed by everyone.  He personally declares that all 3D women are shit and all 2D women are worthy of him.  While on his conquest to beat more dating sims, he gets an email from a strange contact which asks him if he will able to conquer (or get some girls).  Keima agrees and then boom, big explosion.  Out of the explosion appears a girl who is basically a low class reaper from hell named Elsee.  That contract Keima just agreed to was basically a deal with the devil, if he doesn’t do what he is told, he shall have his head blown off (a collar appears on his neck) Keima has no choice but to agree to the contract, then he happens to find out that he has to romance REAL GIRLS, which is bad news for him, but his head is on the line so he has to comply.  Now the picture above makes sense and shows how much this guy pimped out and thats only roughly 75%. 

Souls from the afterlife inhabits special girls’ souls,  Keima basically has to make the designated girl fall in love with her to “fill her heart”.  Once they have their heart with Keima, the soul will be driven out, in which Elsee will capture the soul.

Like i said, first anime season ended, 2nd season is announced and will air next year

Elsee isn’t the only spirit who works with people, the other prominent girl who is like Elsee is Hakua.  She’s a fan favorite.

The series is creative, a unique read and watching experience.  It has a strange but entertaining story.  Goes to show that nerds can get chicks too

Basically, all the girls he charmed.  Real life sucks you say? FAG

Angel Beats! Episode 9 Review

Prepare for a depressing episode

Lemme tell you beforehand that this is gonna be a short review
Once again, Angel is bedridden, and Otonashi is worried.  He decides to stay alone with her (in a dark room).  Yuri discusses the situation with everyone else.  If you weren’t here, Angel just absorbed all her clones, but turns out that all her clones had seperate consciencs eer however you spell that word.  Because she absorbed all of those evil intentions, her bad side might outweigh the good ones.

Well, while the idiot troop babble, Otonashi falls asleep, and then wakes up in a train tunnel

To those who are confused, Otonashi died in a train accident while on his way to college.  sucks doesn’t it?

Well Otonashi is somehow reliving his painful last days trapped inside a collapsed train tunnel.  Otonashi decides to grasp his percieved reality and help as many people as he can, he’s a doctor, he might as well save ONE life before he dies.  So Otonashi meets this other dude and he starts working his medical magic to any survivors.  So they get better but damn, they’re still stuck and their cellphones ain’t working either.  Otonashi being the one with any useful perks and knowledge is basically the de facto leader of the band of survivors.  Now the only problems are the selfish people and food supplies.

And unfortunetely the first live is taken away.  While a little trouble is going on with one dude trying to drink more water, a man passes away.  And this bad event goes on for 7 days….

Otonashi is thoroughly depressed because one dude dies.

The 7th day is here, everyone is lying/lieing (i don’t know) down from hunger and fatigue.  Otonashi pulls out a card and decides that if he can’t save these people while hes alive, he might as well be an organ donor (okay lemme  tell you right now that this scene is powerful, words, especially my words cannot do this scene justice).  Otonashi dies while the rock walls covering the tunnel crumble, everyone is saved, except for him.

Otonashi wakes up to find Angel awake.  rejoice, happy happy.  But then we move on to Angel telling him why shes doing all this.  She basically wants to keep our friends, the idiots occupied.  It’s no lie that they are all one big family.  This “school” or “purgatory” is a place for the youthful souls.  Angel is basically the sheperd to the flock.  However, self fufillment is something that must happen.  Otonashi decides to help Angel’s cause, happiness, with some blades….

Angel is given back her Student Council seat.  and the cheaters who organized that coup now have to retake the test.

Evacuate the classroom

Thats all

Sad episode.  I really have no comment for this episode.  This episode got me when Otonashi got out his card to be a donor.  But, its a fact, he’s dead, we knew that since the first episode.  Good episode.  I kept this episode short because I wanted to get this one ouft of the way.  Episode 10 is probably the best episode in the entire series because it puts all the goods in the series into one

-siegetank55-

This episode was really sad because it shows the reason of Otonashi’s death. It shows that his death had a cause and he died as a leader and hero.  This episode was pretty good, and I wish there was more episodes that were written like this one. Unfortunately, it isn’t so the next few are pretty lame.

Angel Beats! Stairway to Heaven

Heh, i can only wonder whats going to happen.

Small announcement, hopefully my friends will work out something
