ANIME REVIEWS

Title: Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto
Alternate Title: ---
Genre: Drama, Historical, Mystery, Supernatural
Studio: Sunrise
Run: 2006 - 2007
Episodes: 26 (Complete)

Heh, I've always been a huge sucker when it comes to anime with awesome art. Hehe...and add an awesome plot...I'd definitely like the anime more. X3

Well, the thing I didn't get here is all the history from the start anyway...but if I were to watch it again and concentrate on it, I'd prolly get it. If I still don't get it, I must be an idiot. Haha!

So far, I've only watched an episode from this anime. But, I've come to like it already. ^_^ That's why I recommend this to all who likes a GOOD samurai anime. You'll love this anime, I tell ya. Listen to me! XD

So anwyays, the story starts with all the history narration...and all. I told you I still don't get that part coz I've only just watched it. X3

But, so far...as I can see...I'm liking it. But, if I continue watching ANYMORE OTHER anime's...I'll easily get bored at one anime and the other and such...XD But, I'm not worried, since I like this anime. I'll be surely to watch it all. ^_^

Although, I can't really explain much about this anime, since it still the beginning, and it's still rather confusing, since I don't know what's going on in some parts and I don't seem to know what they mean. XD But, I'm sure that if I watch more of this anime, I'll be sure to find out. ^,^

So anyways, this anime...since it's only the start...I'm rating it with:
I'd have to watch more episodes, to see if it is truly worthy of my five stars. X3

Title: Ghost Hunt
Alternate Title: ---
Genre: Shoujo, Comedy, Romance, Drama, Horror, Mystery, Psychological, Supernatural
Studio: J.C. Staff
Run: 2006 - 2007
Episodes: 25 (Complete)

Sadly...T_T this was such a very nice anime...although...it had only ended til episode 25. Even though...I have not finished it...I'm already VERY dissapointed. X3

Hehe, coz I've already come to LOVE this series.

If you're looking for an anime to watch at night...this is a good anime!
I always watch this at night before I sleep...and everytime I do...I always feel as though I'm going to tremble because I'm scared. O_O That's the first anime to make me feel that way. X3 Kukukuku...and that's a good thing. ^w^

Heh, who would've thought this was a Shoujo anime? It has so many genres too, huh? Hehe...
Anyways, it's about a girl name Mai Taniyama, a high school student who was pulled into working part-time for a 17 year old, handsome young man. Oh! that's not it, this handsome young man's job is the boss of "Shibuya Psychic Research". An institute in which specializes on getting rid of anything paranormal. But, these two aren't alone. A few people help them out and undergo scary situations and mysterious events.

I truly enjoy watching this...what gave me so much fright was about the doll in the episodes "Doll House". O_O Gawd! That doll's eyes were creepy... -shivers-
Hehe, I really like Mai...I think Kazuya Shibuya (Naru was nicknamed for him, because Mai believes he acts like a narcissist. XD) and Mai should end up together...although I doubt they would...since Naru-chan is such a narcissist...he's pretty cold too. O,o Hmph! Although...it's obvious that Mai has fallen for him. XD

The anime doesn't have a decent opening and ending songs...but...the themes they used for the opening and ending sure are fright factors...I shiver whenever I get to listen to them...GEEZ! -shivers-

Heh, anyways, since I really, really LOVE the way this anime had grasp my interest, I give it:

---

Title: Gintama
Alternate Title: Silver Soul
Genre: Shounen, Fantasy, Comedy, Science Fiction, Action
Studio: Sunrise
Run: 2006 -
Episodes: 56 (Ongoing)

A very unusual kind of comedic anime. Hehe...XD when I downloaded the first episode...I thought, when I saw the thumbnail of the file, that the uploaders made an error and they accidentally uploaded a BLEACH episode. So I was like, "WHAT?! O_O This isn't Gintama!"

Hehe...turns out, when I played it...it REALLY was Gintama. HAHA!! XD That totally got me! So far...this anime is enjoyable. Although...you can get easily bored at it...well, in my case...I think it's because I watch too many anime that I get to neglect the others...but, I'm being fair with every anime that I watch. X3 Well...trying very hard to be fair with a every single anime I watch...^^;

Anyways, the opening theme is really nice. ^_^ It's quite nice, I suppose the ending song's nice too...but, hehe...whenever it's the ending song for anime's...I just sometimes don't listen to them, lol. XD

Anyways, the characters are twisted in their own little ways. Heh, like Gintoki, he needs sugar, if he doesn't take it, he's blood sugar will go down. XD Yea, he LOVEs sweets too much. He also LOVES reading manga. XD HAHA! He'd do anything for "Jump" LOL. XD

Yea, there's still more twisted characters in this anime, but, for you to find out, you'll have to watch it yourself, right? And rate it as you fit. X3

As for me, I give this:
I know...I'm being stingy right now. XD

Title: Saiunkoku Monogatari
Alternate Title: The Story of Saiunkoku
Genre: Fantasy, Drama, Comedy, Josei, Romance, Historical Setting
Studio: Madhouse Studios
Run: 2006 - 2007
Episodes: 39 (Complete)

My beloved anime! I'm hooked on Josei kinds of anime lately. X3 I never even thought this was Josei...although I've always thought it was Shoujo. But, this anime is actually targetted for older audiences...like myself. X3

But, no, there aren't anything that's worth called as something for adults or anything...well, I've watched 8 episodes of this anime already, and I don't see anything that's not worth watching for younger audiences. X3

Plus, the episode titles are very nice phrases. You can learn from them. ^_^

The story actually took place in China. About an empire that is being ruled by the "Shi"(purple) family. Also, the whole empire of Saiunkoku has 8 noble families. One, "Shi" the ruling emperor's family, rule over the whole of Saiunkoku.

The story follows the adventures of Shuurei Kou, a descendent of a noble family that has fallen on hard times. Her father serves as the librarian in the Imperial palace, a post which offers prestige and respect but little compensation.
Shuurei teaches in the temple school and works other jobs to make ends meet, but her dream is to pass the imperial examinations and take a post in government, a path forbidden to women.
Shuurei's plans come to an abrupt halt when the Emperor's Grand Advisor makes a startling offer: join the imperial household for six months as the young Emperor's consort, and teach the Emperor to be a responsible ruler. If she succeeds, the financial reward will be great. The story details Shuurei's growing relationships with the Emperor and other members of the court, the intrigues that surround imperial politics, and Shuurei's commitment to better herself and her country.

It is said though...that the Emperor only likes men. (The reason though...will be revealed if you watch the anime itself. XD) Turns out...he likes women as well.

Oh yea! The reason why I started watching this was because...Sugiyama Noriaki voiced a char in it...XD but, sadly his char hasn't come out in the first episode...but, AFTER watching the first episode...I don't need only that reason to continue watching the series. I've come to love it because of the story and humor and the characters. PLUS...I know almost all the seiyuus...well, ALMOST. X3

This is DEFINITELY number ONE on my favorite anime's list now. ^_^ Hehe...yes, poor Naruto and BLEACH...they're just second or third in my list now. XD

Anyways, the opening is beautiful and the ending is nice. The characters? Oh! I love them! Soo many bishounens!! I love the Emperor the most though. X3 Ryuuki-kun! <3 HAHA!
And yes, I give this a perfect score!

Title: Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge
Alternate Title: The Wallflower, Perfect Girl Evolution
Genre: Comedy, Shoujo, Drama, Romance
Studio: Nippon Animation, ADV Films
Run: 2006 - 2007
Episodes: 25 (Complete)

Heh, imagine...changing a girl from hideous to beautiful...

YES! This is THAT kind of anime!
Actually...at first...I thought the title sounded more like... "ACTION-ie" LOL XD Haha!
Turns out, I was wrong...terribly wrong. X3

Even though...the anime was loosely base from the manga, (since they made such a quick pace in the anime), this was certainly still worth-the-watch. But, if you've possibly read the manga and you liked that better...I can say no more. After all, I have NOT read the manga as of late.

But anyways...since I AM being fair. I WILL not compare this to the manga. But, if I was given the chance to, I'll compare to my hearts contents. Sadly, as I said, I have not read the mange yet. Until then...I will say what my heart is trying to blurt out right now.

I LOVE this anime. X3 I love the pairing Kyouhei and Sunako.
The humor in this anime is defenitely funny. XD Sunako would always be the center of humor, most of the time. Her scariness and how she'd easily make all the four guys cry because of her dark aura. XD

Anyways, if you're looking for a good anime, I defenitely suggest for you to watch this. ^_^ It'll be worth the laugh if you're feeling down. ;p

Rate: .


PS: Hehe...I'll be making new avatars and maybe even banners...soon! ^.^ Classes are almost finish anyway! ;p Hehe.
