Dear readers, dont let the overall score make u miss this amazing journey, if you enjoy fantasy and advanture, this show is actually one of the best of his kind.
I'm actually questioning who's voting and if these idiots watched at least 1 min of the show.
When I'm saying this is one of the best show of his kind I'm taking in consideation all my list of anime and manga, my opinion might actually be a little bios considering i grow up watching anime like digimon, pokemon,... in fact this show reminds me of a little bit of them (minus the the action, which is not ... that important as much the journey and the growth of our main protagonist).

Story (8):
In a world where magic and monsters exist, life got better thanks to mages called healers, which have the ability to calm down monsters and make them friendly.
Our main protagonist Yuu, has the same ability as is father, the first episode like usual, introduce us to the world we are about to explore and in part tell us why Yuu starts his journey and why he s scared of monsters (not implicit, I got to that conclusion after finishing the first episode, everyone can come with their own conclusions, is not that important for the enjoyment of the show).

Art (9):
The art is really beautifull, we have some pastels drawnings in a lot of episodes, nevertheless is always consistent and breathtaking on most of the scenaries and monsters scenes.

Sound (9):
Very fond of the intro/outro music and the choice of the background music, also I kinda feel the voice actors do and amzing job to interpret all the cast.

Characters (8):
- Yuu is our main protagonist which we will follow trough his journey, he has the ability to heal, he s also very timid around people and dont like to show his ability around them, for some reasons he s scared of monsters.
- Merc is a special monster that is gifted fom his father, we dont know nothing about her, that's why she wants to travel to find clues about her past and who she's. She's, on the contrary, full of herself and put Yuu most of the time in troubles.

Enjoyment (9):
This is really a charming anime, every episode is captivating and makes you intrigued for the next one, It s' really all about the journey, the interactions between characters and the eventual growth, and realization of the objectis of the main characters.
Altough i love shounen, martial arts and action anime and manga, I cant stop myself from watching this show, that's why even tough it has little if not none of the genres i like the most I find this show strangely captivating, beautifull and relaxing.

Hope I change few of your minds and make you give a shot of this one.
Thanks for reading.

What if you love something so much, that it becomes painfull to see everyone around you being better? Will you throw away everything just to not suffer anymore?
Life's not fair, everyone s born with a gift but they desire things that cant achieve easily, that's why we struggle to become better persons.

Before starting the review I'm going to say that Major is one of my favorite series of all time, both manga and anime, so I'm very excited and happy about this sequel, it's a shame that not much people are into sport, but I could not care less, I love it and I hope ... people reading this review will change their minds.

First of all it's a given that if you want to grow even more attached to the characters you have to read or watch the first series, and I know for a fact that reading 700+ chapter or watching 150+ episodes it s huge investment of time, luckly for you Major 2 dont revolve too much around the first series, so you can start and enjoy this as it is.
Clearly is not going to be as epic as was with Goro, pitcher and catcher are obviously different roles that requires different types of skills.

Story (9):
The two main characters of the story are the sons of the famous Gorou, amazing pitcher and at the end of his career batter, and Toshiya the strategist catcher.
They were chilhood friends and same thing is happening with their sons.
This time around the roles are swapped, Daigo, Gorou son is not like his father, he doesnt have his powerfull arm nor his amazing talent, on the other end Hikaru has all the talent that Daigo wanted.

Art (10):
I'm a sucker for this kind of art. Simply beautifull, neat, colorfull and dynamic when it needs to be.

Sound (9):
The opening is good but I prefer the ending, voice actor and background sounds are really solid and do a good job to create the atmosphere needed.

Characters (9):
I guess people will find the attitude of Daigo quite annoying, but can you really blame him? Hikaru on the other end is so carefree and funny.
Ohhhh Kaoru is simply fantastic haha her facial expressions are hilarious.
A good cast full of potential in my opinion.

Enjoyment (10):
Even tought not as dramatic or epic like the first series I find Major 2 really relaxing, exciting when needed and funny to watch, I'm loving it, as much I did with Major 1.

Thanks for reading.

Hajimete no Gal....oh what a mess have they done of this funny romcom....

You see, I wrote a review for the manga quite a while ago, in which I praised the pace and how the charachters were introduced, unfortunately the producers turned this enjoyable manga in an anime who you are supposed to jack off, but you cant pull it off since it's censored all over...marketing strategy? Most likely...

Trust me when I say the censoring is the last thing that bothers me, like I said at the beginning the pacing is horrible, you dont have time to familiarize with the main characters, girls after girls are ... thrown in the mix, useless monologue of the main character just to add a little more ecchi in the middle and make the episode long enough, the provocative cutness between our two main characters that is in the manga here doesnt exist, and so on....

There are too many problems with this anime and, to me at least, is impossible to enjoy as much as I did with the manga.

Story (7):
As previously stated in my manga review the story is the weakest point since it's the usual "good for nothing guy date a popular girl", which is not bad if portrayed well.

Art (8):
It's quite difficult to make a mess of the art these days with all the technology around, luckly they managed to make at least one thing right.
The art it's standard, clean, dynamic, colorful, typical of most of harem shows.

Sound (6):
As the opening and the ending are not to my tastes I have to admit that the voice actors do a good job, unfortunately the background sounds are pretty much useless as they hardly ever menage to set the mood for the viewers.

Character (5):
One other thing that I appreciated in the manga was the "mistery vibe" that our main heroine Yukane Yame was giving. In fact her gal character and her actions didn't match, that made it really interessting and funny, in the anime however she seems just like any other girls with the sole purpose to make Junichi harem bigger. Even the moments where after confessing they slowly start to grow closer are missing, what a shame...

Hashiba Junichi in the other hand is our standard harem character, weak, not particularly good at anything.

Enjoyment (3):
I'm not gonna lie here, even witouth reading the manga I would rate this show avarage at best, it's a huge mess, nothing make sense, minutes of daydreaming of sex of our main character, hardly any development shown in the relationship between the two main characters, in the end it's just a bunch of softcore porn thrown here and there to happeal the younger audience.

Overall (4):
Sad I couldn't enjoy the show as much as I'm doing with the manga, if you havent watched too many harem/ecchi show however I'm pretty sure you will at least enjoy it more than me.

Have fun! (if you can lol)

Yakumo-san wa Ezuke ga Shitai is about food, sport and love it's as simple as that.
Nowadys we have a lots of shows that try to be too many things and as result they fail miserably, reading this manga make me realize semplicity works the best if done well.

Story: (7/10)
Yamato Shuuhei is a teenage boy who's living by himself to pursue his dream of playing baseball at high levels so he enrolled in a high school known to be really good at it.
Yakumo Shuuko (28 y.o.) is a widow that loves cooking, since the dead of his husband she lost in part that passion, but knowing ... Yamato helped her regain it. It's a slow paced romance, they know each others day by day, start to realying in each others,... It's kinda realistic, which is a good thing in my opinion.

Art: (9.25/10)
The drawings are always well done and clean. It's a bit static because there isnt a lot of "movement" in this manga, the baseball is not the main focus so that's reasonable.

Characters: (7/10)
As the story also the characters are a bit plain, I mean there is nothing particularly interessant about them, that's not a bad thing but in my opinion the author could have made them a bit more different that the usual characters that we see in most of the mangas.

Yamato: he's the main character, he's a highschool student, as far as I remember he has a little sister, which we see in one of the chapters, he's a hardworking guy, also talented in baseball, eats a lot of junk food, that's why Yakumo offers him to eat dinner with her.

Yakumo: she's 28, she has lost the loved one that she met at the university, he was similar to our main protagonist (loved to eat a lot), she's not the flashy type, and never was, she love to cook because she enjoy seeing the satisfied faces of the people after eating her meals.

Enjoyment: (8/10)
A lighthearted romcom, no ecchi, absolutly recommended if you want to read something funny and cute, as previously said the romance develop slowly so dont expect too much too soon, just enjoy for what it's!

Overall: (7.80)
Thanks for reading!

Lately I felt like reading a bit of fantasy and action, so I came across Death March. It is rated fairly good so I was expecting something at least enjoyable, unfortunately already from the beginning I felt dissapointed, but kept reading hoping for some interessting developement that never came.

Story: (1)
Suzuki Ichirou or Satou, his nickname for online games, is a programmer of 29 years old. One day while waking up e find himself in a new world(similar to the game he was working for), already in trouble and attacked by monsters he use a powerfull skill that kill everything(also a god), and gain level ... 300+ making him insanely overpowered.
From that moment he tries to save a lot of people (since he's the hero), build his huge harem and go around the world to discover more about it.

Art: (5)
The art is the best part of this dreadful manga, still avarage and not appealing. The backgrounds and characters in some panels were hideous.

Character: (1)
Annoying and impossible to sympathize with most of them, expecially the main character. I dont mind cliché characters if you build around them a solid plot or use good art to make them shine trough their expressions, but this isnt the case, everything lacks so is impossible to enjoy the characters and feel
some emotions from their experiences.

Overall: (2.5)
If you havent guessed alredy I don't raccomend this manga to anyone, maybe if you are a new to the genre or to mangas you will like it, as for me I gave a chance to this manga to redeem itslef until chapter 27.

Thanks for reading and have a nice day.

Kenja no Mago? I thought it was really interesting at first, reading the synopsis, unfortunately nothing "new" or original, nonetheless enjoyable.
Let's jump straight into the review and find out why.

Story (6)
As the synopsis say: Shin our main protagonist had a boring life, that's until an accident happened and he died. Reborn in an alterative universe, as a child he was casually saved from a hero. That hero will teach him magic and his other friends will teach him the art of the sword, meanwhile he has the knowledge of his past life and has an incredible magic power. You guessed right, he's OP af.
He was ... raised in the jungle so he doesnt know nothing about this world, thats why thanks to the help of the king himself he joined an accademy to make friends and learn about this world (medieval).

Art (8.5)
The manga overall is well done, nice and dynamic art, when needed very detailed, the background most of the times are also well done, so the art is one the best thing of this manga.

Character (6.5)
I could use just one word to describe them: cliché.

Enjoyment (8.25)
It really feels like an other: School, harem, fantasy, magic manga/anime, If you notice I didnt put comedy, that is because there's nothing really funny about this manga.
Dont get me wrong I really enjoyed reading it, but the comedic aspect really lacks in my opinion. There are also hint of romance and a bit of action, the pacing is allright, it doesnt make feel the manga boring, but than again this is just the beginning so I could not say for sure that the pacing will be always good as it is now.

Overall (8)
If you are looking for a strong male protagonist, a bit of romance and action, surely later there's gonna be a lot more of action, this manga might work for you.

Have fun!

*I'm writing this review because this manga is really a funny romcom and I want people to acknowledge it so we can have faster scans and translations!*

Story(7):
The story is the weakest part of this amazing manga, is something we have seen quite a bit in this kind of genres:
Unpopular guy get te chance to date a really cute and popular girl.
What makes this manga amazing are witouth a doubt the characters, Junichi our cliché anime character, weak, a looser is constantly teased by Yuka which seem to understand pretty well the desires of his new boyfriend, but something about her personality seem strange, is she ... really the type who likes to tease our otaku freind Junichi or she's hiding something? Is a really funny and adorable manga with fanservice too!

Art(9):
The art is amazing: clean and dynamic, the background are well done and the characters are well made and expressives.

Characters(9):
Junichi is our male protagonist, he wants a girlfriends but he's also insecure with the other sex, he thinks low of himself but he muster the courage to confess to Yuka because of a prank from his friends.

Yukana, in the other hand is a really interessting character.
She accept Junichi confession even knowing that he clearly doesnt like her because she likes to tease him, her personality seem a bit strange, she seem really confident and that she has a lot of experience in love, but is it really true?

Support: cliché friends that are perverted, looser and otakus that are jelous of the sudden succes of Junichi, that help him for a purpose(getting to know the friends of Yuka)
There is also the best friend of Yuka, she's been introduced recently, she's like a hunter for virgins like Junichi, maybe she's the reason of the behavior of Yuka?

Enjoyment(9):
Really funny and cute romance story.
The ecchi part(fanservice) is used well, and have a purpose in the manga! In this case tease Junichi. The pacing is alright and make the manga always funny to read.

Overall(9):
I raccomend this anime for the people who are searching for an interessting character, funny situations, and solid romance development.

*Spoiler free*

I've enjoyed a lot unbalance x2 and as soon I've discovered that there is a new story I couldnt help myself but read it.
The topic's still the same: taboo love, while Ux2 was about teacher/student, this time we came across sister/brother, little spoiler: they might not be blood related, if that make you feel a little better :')
It's for a mature audience since it contains nudity, but if you feel like reading it is better if you do when your parents arent around.

*This is a Manwha, it means that is a korean comic, usually they are fully colored, this is the case with ... Ux3, and you should read them from the left to the right*

Story:(7.5)
The story revolves aound Taeh and Haky, they lost their parents in an accident when they were younger and since then Haky taked care for Taeh.
We already discover that Taeh has feeling for the sister, and it happens that he hear from his relatives that they arent related by blood, or are they?
This is the dilemma of this manwha, the only one that knows the truth is his sister but while he call her to ask about the topic, she suddently have an accident that make her loose the memory and know we dont know what's really going on...

Art(8):
The art is good, clear and colorfull, altough at the beginning they decided for unknown reasons to censor our beauty heroine with an annoying white beam that come out of nowhere, later on they make the smart play to remove it and let us see those boobs, is not that all us read it only for the boobs, right guys?
Jokes aside if you are interested in mature love this will surely do for you.

Character(7):
Hakyun Choi: She's really stubborn and strong willed, she can controll really well her emotions, but after loosing her memories what will happen?
We discover little by little her past while she regain her memories, but until now (Please save me: chap 43.1) we dont know the truh about the bond this siblings have, we surely know that she also consider him more than his brother.

Taehkyun Choi: He's the younger one, always spoiled by his sister, his feeling are stronger than a brother/sister one, he's good at fighting, less at studying tough he's in a prestigious university thanks to the effords of her sister.
He's also really stubborn and possesive, he really dont want to change the situation between them because he's scared and doesnt have the answers he seek, but after an other character push him in a unique way towards his real feelings to the sister he decide to face her and himself.

Ha Shiah: She's the real rival between their love, why real? just read it already!, anyway she's a rich girl that had everything she always wanted, this time she want Taeh, but not only his body, but also his heart, she's already aware that he love someone else, but she seem ready to fight her number 1.

Enjoyment(8.5):
The time fly by if you enjoy something right?
43 chapters for me are not enough, I want to know more about what will happen and what happened in her past more clearly.
The ending? I have read too many mangas to already know how it will end, or at least guess. It's heartwarming and interesting, the chapter and the dialogues are really short, and as you can guess there is also quite a bit of drama.
If you want to catch me, I guess 1 or 2 hours are more than enough.

Have fun!

*This Ova is a prequel of the main anime that will be aired the 10 july *

The point of this prequel is to make us familiarize with the setting of the anime (medieval, with dragons, knights, beast, magicians,...).

I've discovered that there is an other prequel called: Tales of Zestiria: Doushi no Yoake(2014) which I raccomend not to watch since it will ruin you the surpries of the main serie.

Story(8):
This is similar of the most common fantasy/medieval anime, to summon is a sort of King Artù, we can clearly see that there is a sword on the stone, and the rest... well yea magicians, dragons,...

Art(10):
Just one ... episode, but yes, if all the main serie will adopt this kind of art I will only love more the anime. The art is superb, clear and very appealing, detailed and....well if you watch the scene of the dragon you will understand everything :)

Sound(8): well used, nothing to say, the ending was good but I've heard better song which suited better for the setting we are in.

Character(-):
Cant really say a lot, 1 episode isnt enough, some might have played the game so they know more about it, but I realized that the guy on the cover isnt in this ova, that means that one of the main characters isnt there.

Enyoment(8.5):
Like I said before I really like this types of settings with magic, beasts,...
so it's only natural that I rated 9 this Ova, but the major factor that make me rate 9 this ova is the art, like I said before amazing.

Overall 9. Enjoy!

First of all dont be scared of the 6.80 overall rating, because is really enjoyable, if you like romance and comedy anime. It's short anyaway (12min/ep) so give it a try. *(anime finished ariring but online we can find atm only 5eps)*

Story (7):
At the beginning seem a cliché anime, girl like guy, write a love letter and then we focus on romance developement and drama between them.

May seem true for the first 5 min of the anime, but we already discover a big "secret" of Kurihara(our Mc female), she's a yandere and that make it hilarious most of the time seeing her thoughts and the ... reaction of her friend.

Romance develope slowly (good thing in my opionion), but since this anime Mc male always choose the first girl I'm a bit disappointed because at 5 ep they introduce a new female character (rival probably) that has a crush on Momotsuki too and I alredy love her *.*

Art (7):
Nothing much to say, clear and appealing though I usually dont really like Shojo manga art.

Sound (-):
Nothing to say, there isnt any atm.

Character (7):
-Support easily forgettable.
-Mc male shy and a bit tsundere, but its alright I guess since is is first love experience and at 15 years old you are shy because usually around this age you start discovering and experiencing love and all those new feelings.
-Mc female is funny and like I said she's a yandere, so... yes :D

Enjoyment (8):
This is, in my opinion, the strongest part of this anime, is really a lighthearted and funny anime, with good romance overall.

Overall 7. Enjoy!
