OTAKUS ONLY!

WELCOME, ladies and gents, children and of course, all OTAKUS! Today, we have for you our ANIME REVIEWS. We obviously cannot list all the animes in the world, so we'll only be reviewing our favorites.

ANIMU REVIEWS (ERZA-CHAN!)

COW. o(*>ω<*)o

THis is soooo infuriating, SO MANY CHOICES, SO LITTLE TIME! Um~OK, I've made my choice. My favorite anime isssssss SWORD ART ONLINE (season 1)!


The story revolves around Kirito, who is stuck in an online game with thousands of other players. In order to exit the game, he and the rest of the players have to defeat the final level. At first, Kirito played solo but eventually, he met a guild who accepted him. In unlucky circumstances, the guild members died fighting a level boss and when players die in the game, they die in real life too. Kirito was heart-broken and swore never to join a guild.



But that was until he met Asuna, who became his wife in the game. They adopted a daughter named Yui and bought a house together. During the final boss level, Asuna died after saving Kirito from being a shish-kebab  impaled by a sword. Filled with grief, Kirito managed to glitch the game (DON'T ASK QUESTIONS) and defeat the immortal boss. SUDDENLY, Asuna resurrected and Kirito and Asuna reunited. Kirito exited the game and returned into the real world where he went to find Asuna. 



This anime has some sad parts but it is fast-paced and very exciting. Given the chance, I would watch it again. By the way, if you were wondering, all the girls in the chibi drawing (except for the black-haired one) love Kirito. Like I said, don't ask questions. Animes hardly ever make sense.

Okay, so I had a very hard time deciding what anime I should choose to review because I'm a diehard fan of mostly shonen and there are SO many, for e.g. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Nanatsu no Taizai and stuff along those lines.

But this one over here has caught my attention for a really long time already and I think it's because the storyline is very unique and interesting. But anyway, let me introduce to you...

The badass team. 



Yes, Soul Eater! This is a popular anime based on a certain Death Weapon Meister Academy--DWMA-- set in Death City in Nevada, United States. (WHAT?! I didn't know that...!)

You must be wondering, what Weapon and Meister are you talking about? Well, I'll explain. 

Weapons are humans able to transform into real weapons (e.g. a shuriken (ninja star), kusarigama (chain sickle), and (my favorite!) a scythe) and meisters are those who wield their weapon partners. So basically everyone in the academy has a partner and they all have one objective and one objective only: to collect 99 souls of evil humans (the weapon eats them, yep) and that one of a witch so that the weapon's power increases drastically and become "death scythes", weapons which are capable of being used by Death, the Headmaster, himself. 

So right now, the story revolves around meister Maka Albarn, whose father was the very first deathscythe and Death's partner, and her weapon partner Soul 'Eater' Evans. Together we join them on their journey on at first collecting 100 souls, but their objective is shifted to defeat the witch Medusa and her minion Crona, and later the very first Kishin Asura, who feasts on innocent souls to become an evil god of some sort. 

What I like about this anime is that the action scenes are in full detail and the expressions are drawn very clearly on their faces. I find the story plot very unique as well, and I like watching the character development in each of the characters. And I won't lie... I love the ships here. They're downright adorable, and worth the ship (from my point of view :). Soul and Maka for the win people. 

This anime is amazing, but the manga is INCREDIBLE. I highly recommend to watch and read both. You won't regret it. And the OPENING. Soul Eater's first opening was listed as No. 10 in the WatchMojo.com review Top 10 Anime Openings. (Then again, it's WatchMojo.com. The only website who would list Kirito and Asuna as top couple-- I didn't say anything!) One does not simply skip the Soul Eater opening.

Here you go. Hope you enjoy! 

Open it in YouTube at HD resolution for best results. 

You ever realize how bizarre this must look to people who haven't seen Soul Eater?


And that's about it-- hold up!





.FISH.

HEY! DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME! 

Bonjour Mesdames et Messieurs (means hello ladies and gentlemen in French),  still remember me? (Riceball: Since when did Fish speak French?) I'm Fish.

So, just like the others, I also had a hard time choosing which anime I want to share with you guys. But FINALLY after hours of mind-boggling pondering, I'VE DECIDED! I haven't really watched the whole of Season 1 yet, which means I also haven't even started watching Season 2. However, I somewhat know the basic story line of this anime mainly because of cow's blabbering so...yeah. (You know what I mean.)

Presenting to you.....


Tokyo Ghoul!

I've watched a few animes, but this anime made me go cray-cray. When I first watched the trailer of this anime on TV, I thought it'd be scary. To be honest, I can't stand horror movies. The last horror movie I've watched was Annabelle and jeez, it was FREAKY!

Okay, let's get back to the topic. (I'm side tracking again.)

FIRST THING YOU NEED TO KNOW: Ghouls feed on humans, they do not and cannot consume human food as it tastes rotten to them.

Kaneki after he 'transformed'

The story starts when Kaneki Ken meets with a girl named Rize Kamishiro. They suddenly become very close as they both have the same hobbies, share same favorite novels and are generally very 'alike.' When Kaneki accompanied Rize back home, he soon finds out that he and Rize are two worlds apart (literally.) Rize was a ghoul and she attacks him and injures him internally. All of a sudden, beams from the building beside them collapse and traps Rize and eventually kills her. Kaneki was sent to the hospital and Rize's organs were transplanted into him. He became a ghoul.

When Kaneki turned into a ghoul, he lost his human life. He worked at a coffee shop  alongside other ghouls and soon accepted his ghoul side. But when he finally seemed happy again, he was captured by a maniac called Jason and he was tortured until his hair turned white and his nails turned black. How? Jason put centipedes in Kaneki's ears and the poison (I think) caused some sort of reaction.

At one point, there was a war between humans and ghouls and Kaneki's best friend, Hide (pronounced He-day), was killed in the crossfire.

Hideyoshi Nagachika AKA Hide

Of course I did cry at the part where he got killed, it's just too much. GAHHH!!!

When Hide died.


This was me when I watched the part where Kaneki carried Hide. #TOO MUCH FEELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To add up all of it, I really love this anime and am desperate for Season 3 even though I haven't watched Season 2 yet. This anime is always leaving the audience in suspense, making us curious and excited to watch the next episode. I watched the last episode of season 2 and guess what? They left it on a cliffhanger. Sigh... So I suggest you guys go check it out and I'm sure you guys won't regret it.


THAT'S ALL FOR THIS TIME! We sincerely hope that you enjoyed reading our reviews. If you did, we won't mind if you share our blog with your friends and remember to comment and suggest what we should do next. Bye, for now! Do remember to check out our other blog posts!
