(Anime Review)New Anime January 2010 Part 2


Continuing on the second part of the new anime season....


"Sora wo Woto" This story is about a girl named Sorami Kanata, which hopes to learn music and joined the military. Though she have a definite ability of recognizing music notes, she miserably sucks at playing them.


Though the story sounds kinda cheesy, but still judging from the first 2 episode of the show, I would say it do really is kinda fun to watch. The characters in the show are likable, Kanata especially looks really moe ^.^ . Other than that, the biggest thumbs up would be the fact that "Kalafina" is singing their OP song ^.^ .



"Seikon no Qwaser" The story is about Oribe Mafuyu, she meets a silver haired boy name Alexander , which is a Qwaser. Qwasers are beings that is able to manipulate iron at will, but only if they suck breast milk =.=

Well, what can I say, to the point where he is able to manipulate iron is quite interesting, but due to the fact he must suck breast milk really made the mood go down =.= . I dun know what to expect from this show, I must watch more if I really wanna make a comment on this one =.=



"Baka to Test no Shoukanjyuu" This is about a school in the city, that believes that students must work hard to gain what they want. The classes facilities are based on their grades. The better grades you have, you will be given a top class facility complete with sofa's, air-con and etc. If you happen to be our protagonist Akihisa here where he ended up in F class, you will obtain the worst facility in the school, where you only get broken tables, and a cushion as your seat, and broken windows. But the school has a another interesting system, which is they are able to summon fantasy creatures to battle out each other. The winners are able to exchange classrooms with the losers, but the strength of the fantasy creatures are proportional with the grades they get in that particular subject.( By the way....the picture above, that's not Akihisa, but he's a male =.=)



A really good show I must say, It has a very good comedy and the animation are also quite good. A must watch anime in this season. Just watch out for the trap gender Hideyoshi though >.<





"Ladies vs Butlers" The story is about Akiharu Hino, despite his looks like a delinquent, he enrolls into a prestigious academy that was one a school for upper-class ladies. Placed in the servant training department, where students are trained to be top-class maids and butlers.


This show, is also quite funny, but has quite some of ecchi contents in it( children beware >.<). I watch this purely for the comedy, and the Tsundere ojou-sama ^.^. There is also a girl looking male in this show.....Are they popular lately? -.-

(Anime Review)New Anime January 2010 Part 1

Gonna Talk about the new anime that have come out around this week. Let's start with a familiar title "Omamori Himari"



The Story goes like this "The Amakawa Family is one of the 12 onikiriyaku, and Yuuto  is a decesdant of the Amakawa family, not knowing the truth of his family history and being protected by the charm his grandparents gave him, Yuuto has been living his life like any other human. Until when the day he turn 16, the power of the charm dissipates completely and Ayakashi that holds a grudge towards the Amakawa family started to target Yuuto. Luckily, Yuuto has Himari, an Ayakashi which her ancestor that has vowed to protect the Amakawa family. But still one thing bugs Yuuto, which is the fact that Himari is a cat type ayakashi, and our hero here Yuuto, is allergic to cats =.=."



Been waiting for the manga to get animation treatment, and from the looks of the first episode, I can say that it looks like it will not disappoint me ^.^.



"Dance in the Vampire Bund" Lately, weird incidents have been happening in the city, young women has been found dead and they all share something in common, they all have "fang-like" bites on their necks. The incident is then discussed in a common TV talk show. In the middle of the show, the real culprit reveals himself and started attacking the people there and flee to the rooftop. In the chase, vampire princess Mina Tepes finishes off the culprit, and declared the existence of the vampires.


This is from my impression on the first episode, and I must say, it really holds a kind of unique aura in the show. The animation looked good, and the story also seemed unique. I would say this anime holds a great deal of potential.




Dyurara. The first episode of the story didn't offer much of a story. It's about a high school student that sets foot in Tokyo Ikeburo, and various other cast....There's also a legendary headless rider that roams in the city.


Really, I didn't get much info of the show. But was really attracted to the show due to the headless rider. I am in fact a Bike maniac >.<. But really, the headless rider looked really freaking cool!!!>.< . Gonna keep on watching due to the rider ^.^

(Anime Review)Sora no Otoshimono



Been really slow on my anime's lately....Missed alot of great anime and a new season is coming out too =.= . After alot of savaging on my schedule, I finally got time to finish "Sora no Otoshimono" anime version.

For the people that haven read the manga, I suggest you read it cuz it really rocks >.<. You can find my previous post on "Sora no Otoshimono" manga here.

The anime version of the show was quite good when compared to it's manga counterpart. The anime version was more on comedy, while the manga has comedy and story. But still it was good in it's own way. Although the show was quite good, there were a few main disappointments. First, was the show was only 13 episode long,  and the end of Nymph Arc serving as the ending. The other thing was that Astrea didn't get to appear in the anime T.T( She was my favourite character by the way >.<).

Here's some of the screenshots of the anime.


The animation was quite well done and watching the anime totally became more relaxing


In this sene, Ikaros looks really like "Freedom Gundam" =.=||

Ikaros in serious mode.





All in all, although there were some few disappointments for me, "Sora no Otoshimono" is still worth your time ^.^


Story             :3/5
Character       :4/5( cuz Astrea din get part in the Anime =.=)
Animation      :5/5


The manga of "Sora no Otoshimono" is also getting more and more interesting as it releases. Here's some of the latest scans of the Ikaros. ^.^
