A not so new but amazing feel good happy fighting anime. But where witch hunters the right choice for this anime?

In a not so normal world full of not so normal people, and the occasional normal person Witches attempt to destroy us all; one quick question though? Will our magical girls be able too handle the responsibility of taking down these sinners, or will they turn out to be not so magical after all?

I've got to say just after watching one short episode of this anime i feel in love with the style of art straight away. With our magical girls wearing super cute ... outfits that make the younger generation of watchers fall in love with them straight away; colour full looking fancy soul gems and witches that don't completely scare us to death after one viewing.

The series is mainly about you young girl called Madoka and is a seriously cute lead character who encounters a number of future "friends". Madoka does eventually become a magical girl, as do a few other characters.

Madoka Magica; A young girl who has a caring, loving family that would do absolutely anything for her in any circumstance. She attends school with normal humans and some of the magical girls. In the first episode we see one of Madokas dreams completely in black and white; within the dream she encounters a young girl who is a magical girl in real life who eventually turns up at the school as a transfer student in Madokas class.

I do think it's an amazingly good series of anime; a bit wacky at times but a brilinat wacky not too serious anime about cute looking witch hunting fun loving girls who are completely insane in every way possible!!!

It's an amazing watch from start to finish; it has it's own complete individual art style which stands out straight away, cute loveable characters and a short story line that actually makes sense! No confusing pasts that everyone can keep up with, it's just amazeballs! This only may be a small review but it really is worth the watch if you wnat a break from all of the mainstream stuff.

Review 31: Nurahiyon No Mago (Is being a demon king actually good)??


The new Demonised series of anime Nurahiyon is going to be amazing at this rate; but is the idea of becoming a demon king or commander actually good or pleasing? Well in this young case it isn't....

The Nura clan is the most respected demon clan in Japan at this moment in time; due to strong powers, strong numbers and the strongest willed family as the leaders this clan will forever be the best. The clan is unknown to humans all they know is that a Young boy named Nura lives there and ... attends a school close by, but besides that no one elses is ever seen leaving this house. But when a human does approach all of the real inhabitants inside the demonic japanese mansion than all od the demons inside can magically turn into a plain looking human who seem to look like servants; we even see evidence of this in the first 2 episodes of their magically transformation powers which "all" demons seem to posses.

All of the demons in this anime aren't actually named demons; in this they are called Yokai, hence why in english translation this anime is actually named Nura: Rise Of The Yokia clan. The family in this clan is kind of unusual. out of all of the animes i've seen and read all of the way through this has to have the most strangest acting and most strangest appearing demons. The behaviour of these demons is controlled only by the element or the actual power that they posses; because of this some will be kind and gentle and some will be madly aggresive and hard hearted towards other members of the clan. But the biggest change of all for all of them is how they change around humans and their appearance change; just this can make a huge difference as soon as they turn themselves into their human form their behaviours immediately change to the most kindest and loyal person you would of ever met in your entire life.

The main story line is about a young boy who i've already mentioned; his full name is Rikuo Nura. In the anime and manga all he wants is to become a human for life and all he really acres about is looking after his friends and doing what ever is possible to avoid becoming the next leader of the clan. Because of this the story is mainly based around his life and those who are closest to him. The main aim in this story is for the nura clan itself to become a bit more protected by having a leader who won't let them down; to have more members who aren't just family and are even more loyal to them as they where to other clans and finally to become the best clan and even beat all of the rival clans in japan so they will be finally known as Japans most known demonic clan. Apart from all of this there are little side stories and a few filler episodes but some of them do actually serve a purpose in the series and will have some meaning; thats if you can actually understand what is supposed to be going in the episode and you can actually link it into the other episodes; if you can't do any of this then you may want to skip these episodes and have a quick guess at whats going on in the other episodes...... Make sense yet??

There aren't that many main characters therefore i will only do one character profile.

Rikuo Nura: Since a child he has always joked around about becoming a Yokai and playing stupid petty pranks on the other members of the clan and also joking about becoming thenext head of the clan. Later on at school a discussion arrises about the Yokais and what those demons are really like, this changed his mind about his whole life. Even though he lives the Yokai he decided to set his life strictly on becoming a human and by acheiving this goal he finishes good deeds for humans and attends school with them. Even though he joked around about everything he is supposed to do when he was younger, he actually rebels against the current head of the clan and does nothing that he's supposed to do. There is a twist though on this character and a few others, but mainly this one, as he isn't fully Yokai he is a human during the day so he is able to attendt school but can still sense, see and hear the demons. At night he can suddenly turn into the leader of the Yokai clan with strangely black and white long sticking out hair and a purple kimono to finish it off; even though he's a young boy in the human version at night he becomes a fully grown demonised man. There aren't actually many demons in the Nura clan who have actually seen him in this form but when one of them does she actually doesn't seem overly surprised about any of it (probably due to the calm element she is currently mastering).

All in all this anime is amazing; up to date graphics, a story line that makes sense, not to many filler episodes and side stories, brilliant fighting scense, creative designs for the demons and an amazing lead character that has a bit of growing up to do.

The anime can be found on youtube, other online streamers and the anime app Anime FTW.tv and can also be found on ebay and HMV. it's a great watch i wouldn't say buy it straight away, at least watch a few episodes and then buy. it's defiantly worth the time to watch and worth the time to find as it is brand new a few online streamers haven't currently got it uploaded.

Advice: look around and send a few e-mails out to find who actually has the anime, if not then download the app AnimeFTW.tv and you'll find it under the N section, there will be two different ones but it'll be the same as the title on this review. If you are not able to find it anywhere just read the Manga it's equally as good as the anime and still has the action packed fighting scenes within. After all of that just be sure to sit back and enjoy....

Review 30: Needless (is all this fanservice needless too)?

The world wide amazing action and fanservice packed anime adventure, but is all of this fanservice actually needed??

The world of needless is seriously weird; it's strange in ever way possible all of the way through this anime. In this stranger version of Japan there are weird stand out features that a lot of viewers cannot comprehend.

Basically world three started quite a while ago, as weapons where passed around and altered and then finally fired at Japan it created what many people including the authorities and goverment call the black spot. And it is what it's called, the ... skies black and it is a abandoned wasted land with nothing living, nothing inhabiting the area and nothing will ever change the black spot or change it any way.

When the bomb hit and created the black spot, anyone who was in the area or near the bomb site then the would of been turned into what everone calls a needless or they would of been killed by the blast. Eventually people tried to inhabit the surronding areas and attempted to live within the black spot. Until a company named Simeon built a ginormous building in the centre of the black spot with seriously high security and governers from all over the world coming to visit so they could finally learn and find out what a Needless is and why they exsist. When rumours got out about everyone in the Simeon Company being a Needless there where riots and resistance groups that joined forces to go head on with Simeon..... All of which have ultimately failed at taking down the company.

This is when we start to meet our main characters, Cruz is the first. This series starts off with the Resistance attempting to ambush Simeon, which fails, and two members trying to flee the battle ground to find somewhere else to stay until the fights die down. Unfortunetly though there is only one main character found from this particular scene. unfortunetly Cruz's older sister Nee-San is destroyed by a Testament robot (From Simeon). Cruz than has to find his way around the sewers in an attempt to get away from this robot before it appears again and takes his life too. Once he's in the sewers he manages to find the time to break down and cry over the lose of his dead sister, which then leads to the Testament breaking the concrete floor to get to Cruz in an attempt to take his life away too. Until a mysterious man wearing a choker and no shirt appears and takes down the Testament in front of Cruz.

This ladies and gentlemen is our next main character, he never goes by his normal name so everyone just calls him Blade. His real name is Adam and everyone knows him as the memorization Needless, he won't use his power a lot but will use it if he's in danger or someone else his, he doesn't abuse his powers and he hates Simeon. Others we meet later on in some other episodes; like eve and Blades scientist.

Cruz; As he has no powers at all he struggles quite a lot when it comes to survivng without his sister in this newly found world.He is a slightly awkward character, whenever someone upsets him he runs the other way to get away for a while.....It never works. He's a small character in the series as he has no powers or any special skills that he can use against Simeon; but he plays the most important role as our lead character who tries to come to terms with the newly found Simeon ruled Japan. He doesn't really like working for his new found friends but it's the only thing he can do as his sister and everyone else he ever knew was murdered in a matter of seconds; due to this he has to slave around for the new found friends until Cruz can stand on his own two feet..... Which will be never in this series as you can not magically earn powers like the ones that the Needless have. For starts the fanservice in this brings out the slightly funnier side of Cruz; he's the stereotypical main boy in the series as his nose bleeds a considerable amount when a naked girl appears and he seems to turn Chibi for some reason. But all in all he is a good lead character, he may be lacking some characteristics which we would rather see than a weak boy; but i think doing this makes a bit of a change for the series and the story line within it.

Blade; As he has all of the power anyone can ask for he is the perfect character to be holding the spot light whenever Cruz hasn't run off or started crying for some unknown reason. But he hasn't got all of the powers in the world actually; his Needless power is the power of manipulation. In other words when he sees his opponent using a strong move than his brain automatically copies the move and uses it against them as he's more powerfull than most of the people we see him fight. Which means that over this series of anime we see Blade using tons of elements to fight with against others and completely random moves like the godly string one that we see in some of the earlier episodes of Needless. Eventually there are tons of other weirdly wonderfull whacky moves we see him posess but non of them apart from the fire element ones actually stood out to me; there is one thing that stands out though, it may only be small but it can indicate to the audience when the fight gets serious. We see a quick glimpse of Blades brain surronded by multi-coloured waves of energy, afterwards it usually says manipulation complete or something along those lines, But this only happens when he's being seriously serious in a fight.

The anime is seriously good but i think the character designs and the story have to be the best thing out of the series. The fight scenes are usually short and not to violent; if they are long it's usually filled in by a lot of talking to the opponent. The graphics are ok i guess usually on high quality 3D moments; e.g. a car moving or a quick flash forward for the audience to show use where the next bad guy is. Even though i've done the review i think i'll still keep on watching the anime as i actually love the charcaters and their fighting styles.

Review 29: One Piece (Yay Gum Gum fruit)!!!!

A Worldwide favourite, but i only have one question, is there actually an anime out there that can take this one off of the shelves in over 1000 different countries?? I think not.

Meet the clinicaly insane straw hatted pirates, that always seem to get their own way..... One Piece is a world wide famous anime and manga series to little five year olds, too 60 year olds who still remember the series from a while back. The series is packed with food, fighting, rather confusing moments and really (and i emphasis really) weird looking pirate maniacs that will ... do anything to get the one piece and the devil (gum gum) fruit.

The main story in the series... well when i say main story i mean the overall series.... is supposed to about a young high pitched, squeaky voiced boy named Monket D.Luffy finding the one Piece to eventually become the King of Pirates like in ancient myths and legands. One problem though, he doesn't even have a ship, never mind a crew. And due to his young age no other pirates take him seriously even though he's trying to do them all a favour by helping them get to the One Piece and becoming the new King of the Pirates with them in his crew.

The only time people or pirates usually take him serious, this keeps up through out the whole series of One Piece, is when he shows his what he calls his "Gum, Gum Abbilities"... So to us this will be the devil fruit powers. When a devil fruit is consumed and depending on which type you have consumed then special un'realistic powers are released that you may or may not be able to control depending on how mature and smart you are.In this case Luffy has consumed a rare Devil Fruit that gives the consumer to extend parts of his of hers bodies to unbelievable lengths, and when punched the punches fly right off of his body or when shot at the rubber sends them flying back at the opponent. So basically we have a weird boy with an even weirder rubber body.....

The series is based in another and slightly older fashioned world where pirates, thieves, bounty hunters and other strange peope all exisist mainly to defeat pirates but also to keep order in the world, stop wars between other countries and are also mainly here to stop pirates from over taking other towns and cities like they have done in the past and when we watch the series we get to see the over taking of many cities and towns happening right before our straw hatted and clinically insane pirates.

The main character (as we have already established) is Luffy, his main goal in life is to be like Gol D. Roger. He was in fact the previous Pirate king and created the One PIece, a treasure that most normal people think is fake and is a disgrace to their world. Others like Luffy (and some others) Who have realised that if they obtain the One Piece they will be the next Pirate King, and as soon as news about a new pirate king starts to spread many more people will believe in the legand, which then means more fights and violence for Luffy and his soon to be crew. Everyone in the crew is human, well to an extent anyways..........

Monkey D. Luffy; Our main and insane character for the One Piece series. he's the leader of the straw hat pirates and has an extremely strange fighting style that stands out to the younger generation of anime watchers and lovers. His fighting style is unique but funny, this adds to the genre of the show which is of course a comedy. As his body strecthes to these unbelievable lengths and his body can also deflect damage from opponents it adds humour to any fight that he's in which means that if your reading the manga the reader can relax as they know that he'll never be in any real danger, when watching the anime we can sense some danger in a few situations but nothing to serious to make the watcher hang on to the edge of their seat as they are worried for him. He's a fun loving boy who doesn't really see the seriousness of fighting or being a pirate until other members start joining the crew. He doesn't really care what other people think of him or what other pirates think of him and his crew, the only time he will care is when a pirate or human hurts on of his crew members or damages his ship. He isn't the type of person to start a fight for no particular reason and usually thinks things through when it comes to fighting, when it comes to his friends and every day life he turns a little bit stupid, the stereo typical type of person for an anime like this and as he is in fact the lead character it means all other characters are also laid back, relaxed and at times can be as stupid as him.

The crew eventually becomes huge, one of the first members to be the fearfull Roronoa Zoro..... A three bladed samurai, he was born to kill and to assinate anyone who gets in his way. Luffy managed to get him to join as Zoro had already been captured by the authorities and was tidied up to a pole, he hadn't eaten in a while so Luffy had amanged to taunt him with food and bribe him by setting him free on one condition....... He joined Luffy's crew, even though at this point he didn't even have a ship.

The recruitment for the other members also covers the same sort of method, Luffy makes a deal with them as long as they join his crew. As i said eventually there are quite a few members that join the crew, some hate Luffy as he's way too hyper and some admire his dreams and goals in life to become the next king of the Pirates. we see new and old characters that Luffy has encountered through the series joining the Crew once they get to know him a bit better, like Nami we see her in the firs episode of One Piece and the audience expects her to join the crew straight away but it takes a while as she follows them around and then decides to join, and there are others who we only encounter a bit further on in the series like Brook, Sanji, Usopp, Nico Robin, Franky..... And if you haven't even watched the series even once then you still might of heard of little Tony Tony Chopper!!

All in all the series is amazing, i've only seen parts of the series and little snipits but it's still an amazing series! Only theres one little problem, the begininning of the series graphics seem out of date, and when we see the latest episodes the beginning ones don't quite fit in. But apart from this the series is amazing and is a must watch, it's famous world wide and has captured the hearts and minds of millions of anime and manga lovers!!

Review 28: Angel Beats (is rebelling against god really necessary)?

Even though this anime has been out for a reasonable amount of time, will it disappear forever just Angel will make us all disappear??

In the world of Angel Beats everyone has passed on, they've all some how died in the real world and have woken up in this strange new world to find themselves in a school full of normal children and a girl named Angel how may supposedly make them all disappear. Due to their innocent young lives being wasted away and a waste of time towards god, the decide to rebel against the almighty, ... rebel against angel and rebel against life in general.

In Angel Beats their are a whole host of characters that are completely unique, unique personalities and unique looks for example; some school girls walk around with guitars in hand whilst some of the boys will happily walk around the school with weapons and guns in hands. There are characters we immediately decide to hate and then we grow to love them as their true innocent nature starts to show as they warm up to the idea of rebelling against god and his army of angels and the series's of tests he's set them.

For some reason within this school there are what the call the NPC's, they are so called players in gods little game of survival. Interaction with these NPC's is strongly forbidden to the real people, it may result in you disappearing and than being reincarnated as something else of a lower level. You can get erased from your human life when already dead in anyway, acting as if school is important and paying attention in classes, interacting occasionally with NPC's and most of all accepting the fact that you are actually dead.

There are plus sides to the school that you mysteriously find yourself in once dead, you don't have to learn anything, you get countless weapons to fight against angel with, you get to meet other dead people that you can share experiences with and you can die again countless times (you still feel the pain of it though). Most people that where already dead before our main character got there have all of their memories intact and remember exactly how they died, however a lot of them didn't have their memories to begin with, just like out main character who has no idea where he is or who he is..... In-fact he didn't even know that he was dead until a member of the elite battlefront (basically a dead people army rebelling against god) told him why he was there and asked to recruit him as a member of the battlefront.

At first we don't see that many members of the battlefront but in episodes following up we see that they have in fact a diversion band, whenever a mission or plan is undertaken and they want to distract Angel than the band will put on an amazing performance to distract her and take her attention away from the battlefront. Although it's not just the main battlefront and the diversion team, there's also the guild.... The guild is full of dead people (again) but this time they all have completely different roles and jobs that all members of the battlefront defiantly need, they are all in charge of creating more weapons and gadgets for the battlefront. The guild is actually based under ground with tons of traps that should stop angel from getting all the way down there and erasing them all.

Otanashi; Our main character in the series who can't remember his past when he first arrives in this new world. He doesn't know what the battlefront is at first but joins anyway as he still dosen't know whats going on right now. He hasn't a weapon in the battlefront but is still handy with a small pistol the leader gives him. He gets along with everyone in the battlefront, and even in the first episode we see him trying to reason with Angel(which doesn't work). He ends up dead for the first time, as he wakes up everything is explained to him and he is than recruited t the battlefront. Even though he's friendly and is handy with only a pistol he is slightly simple minded and not good whenever it comes to making quick decisions for the whole team. He does eventually figure out ho he died and what his life as like when he was actually human, it's a little upsetting but nothing to graphic or disturbing for the younger viewers.

Angel; Her real name is Tachibana but everyone still prefers to call her Angel, she is head of the student council and loves stopping and delaying all of the battlefronts plans. A lot of the NPC's don't like the decisions she makes like when she stops the band from performing,obviously for her own good as she knows their diversion plan. Her powers where created by her one her own software and computer in her room, she has powers like handsonic, harmonics and screech. Eventually her and the battlefront do get along but it takes time effort and a lot of bribing her into it, she may not be comfortable with it but she still does it to stop the fighting and the fact that she was human and so is everyone else in the battlefront. She only makes a few mistakes, but hen it comes to the battlefront interrupting her tests (which are important) she makes a few to many mistakes.....

The Battlefront&GirlsDeadMonster; The battlefront consists of a lot of un-dead humans working underground, in a band and th main mission group. They will do anything in their power ot interupt anyhting to do with Angel and will do anything to destroy her...... But killing her seems a bit hard because of her special powers. Girls dead monster is the name of the band that creates diversions for the others in the guild and the battlefront groups. Without these singing school girls they would have to waste time sending guild members up to finish pointless tasks to use as diversions, which would slow the missions down and put them all at the risk of being erased...

The whole series is amazing, it's funny, it's got action, secret love (no fanservice for once) and the graphics are up to date so we don't miss even a second of the action within this anime. The character designs are amazing and are actually made so fit the story line..... It makes more sense if you watch it and then you'll realise what i mean by that.... So get online / get your apps running and get watching the in-famous rebelling series of fighting dead children!!!!!!

Review 27: Another (Send the dead, back to death).

Yet again, another japanese horror series, but will Another disappear as quickly as it appeared to us.
The brand new (slightly disturbing) Horror genred anime series. Even though this series has only just appeared, it has unexpectadly low ratings, views and votes.

I've noticed that people are put off straight away by the first episode as its apparently "weird" and "sketched out wrong" I disagree completely, this first episode is what creates the foundation for the rest of the series. If this episode was sketched out any differently from the way it is now than most of the ... episodes that follow wouldn't make sense and would have other pieces missing that are important.

So the story line comes across as confusing and irritating at times as characters don't reveal answers to the questions that have been on our minds, or we don't get to see the scenes that we thought we would, or some characters are remaining hidden for the time being and don't appear until another crisis is over.

So the story line is a little confusing and I don't understand some parts, but i'll do my best to explain it for you all. A young boy moves in with his grand parents due to his fathers new job once he transferred from Tokyo, his names Koichi. He's bedridden for the first two episodes as his lung collapsed.

So as he can't attend school for the first two days the class Representatives from class 3 show up and wish him well, the only difference is is that these three representitives act suspicous and think Kouchi is not human and actually dead. The don't tell him about the curse within the class and who is involved in the curse and the counter measurements within the curse. So when he turns up to school and their treating another young girl names Miaski Mei as if she doesn't even exsist, things turn for the worst.

Koichi: Even though at the beginning he is bedridden, he appears as a young healthy character throughout this horror series. The collapsed lung runs in the family from the fathers side so it isn't that dangerous in the end, this makes him feel relieved and gives him the energy and happiness to move around and walk. in the early episodes of the series we see him in an elevator(obviously going back to his room), when he turns round and sees a mysterious girl with an eyepatch over her right eye. He doesn't know what to say or do as shes going to the morgue. He gets closer to misaki as the series goes on, also be-freinding a lot of other people who aren't comfortable with it. Throughout this series hes seen as the centre of attention and the cause of the curse returning to class 3.

Misaki; only a young girl, shes neglected by everyone in her class including the teacher and assistant teacher. The eyepatch only serves one purpose to Misaki, that is to hise her eye. When she was younger the eye had to be removed due to a tuma inside, when the doctors decided to give her an artificial eye her mother refused, the only reason she did this as she is a doll maker, so her decision was to replace the eye with a gree dolls eye, (Misakis eyes are actually red by the way). The class treat her like shes non-exsistant due to the curse, their theory is that shes the dead person in the class who will start the curse and therefore should be out casted by everyone else. Her families background is a bit hard to explain and is slightly confusing, but if we pay attention you'll soon realise that the curse did not start when everyone else thought it did, it started much much sooner than expected.

The curse itself is hard to explain. 26 years ago a young boy in class three passed away, and suddenly everyone started to say he was still there and still exsisted. On the graduation photo the young boy actually appeared on there. Ever since than the curse starts in either May or April, one person dies each , month in a terrible accident it can either be someone in the class (students, teachers), or someone you live with (mum, dad, sister, brother). Almost anyone in your family can be effected and the curse has only ever been stopped once in the past 26 years.

The way to stop it is too send the dead back to death......

The series itself is yet again amazing, really cool graphics, a story line that actually makes sense and strange but inventive deaths that are a little bit graphic for some viewers including my sisters. An amazing watch, you'll fall in love with characters and feel sorry for them when eventually their time comes to an end.

Review 26: Elfen Lied. (To...Much...Nakedness)

Is naked killing women who don't even have to look at you for you to die good enough for you???Or do you need a bigger explanation???

Elfen lied is on of the goriest animes along with Higurashi when they cry and Blood-C.

This Anime is sure to confuse you, disturb you and scare you silly. The series Is set around three main characters, two who are related and the other who is terribly confused and violent. Some of the characters pasts and stories behind them can be confusing, and the technology that the lab uses is even more mind boggiling for me.

The story ... line is confussing to. As in the beginning we see one of our main characters escaping a goverment labrotary which keeps her kind of people trapped and tested on constantly so the problem with their powers, etc. can be contained to an extent. After a lot of violent and needless killing she ends up on a beach..... Stark naked..... She's then found by our other two main characters and taken somewhere safer than the beach. The series from this point starts to un ravel the truth about all of our main characters, whats happened to their families and why Lucy is so dangerous to be around .

There are plenty of characters we grow to hate over the series of episodes, but even the main characters, who in a stereotypical anime would be loveable, are all hateable. This can be for many reasons, like Lucy, her split personality and violent nature makes us uneasy and we grow hatred towards this character. Kouta, as he lies a lot, bring up the past, is uneasy and nervous around others and relies on the other characters way too much, and maybe the fact that his stupid reckless desicisions put everyone else in danger. Yuka, an annoying idiot in my eyes who's easy going until it comes to Kouta.

Lucy; Otherwise known as Nyuu, Lucy can be violent, agressive and a little bit of a phycopathic killer when her personality splits. She's one of the original Diclonius's, they are said to be an ancient form of human being that attempted to destroy man kind once. They bring disaster and misfortune to those who come into contact with. She was placed in the lab for testing reasons and for the safety of the world, she was placed in from a young age and has been confined ever since.... so its not a surprise they start the series off with her finally escaping. Every time her personality splits and she goes back to being Lucy instead of Nyuu she tries to get away from the other characters as she knows that they'll get hurt and probably killed, also because of their horrific pasts. All in all Lucy is quite scary but because of the split personality, we all soon grow to love Nyuu instead of who she really is.

Yuka&Kouta; These two don't need as big an explanation than lucy, because the parts that they only play at the beginning are two innocent people helping out Lucy. They don't have powers or anything special like that. All we get to know at the beginning is that They are cousins who live quite far away from each other. The reason as too why Kouta has moved in with Yuka is due to educational purposes so to us this is nothing unusual.

The series is actually a great watch, that's if you can stomach amount of hearts that fly out of peoples bodies and the amount of blood..... It is quite an old anime that's been out for some time now.

The problem is that it hasn't really gotten noticed because compared to other animes the series is kind os short, and the gore that's in the anime, in fact just the first episode, throws a lot of people off of the rest of the series.

An amazing anime from start to finish, I only have a small problem with the nakedness......There's to much of it.

Review 25: Amnesia (You forgotten yet)

Sorry, what's amnesia again.... Is it when you forget stuff???

This newly released yet confusing series of Amnesia has already become a big hit in certain parts of the UK, but will it reach us all..?

So then, the series starts off with a young girl waking up on a sofa in a rest room within a resturant that she supposidly works at. Before we see her there she had apparently collapsed at work and didn't come round for a while.

She has no idea who these strange people are or what Orion is. Later on we figure out that they are all ... child hood friends, well apart from Orion. He later on reveals that he is not from this world and that he is from the realm of the spirits.

Our main character who's name is like never revealed, has already had an in counter with Orion before she lost her memories. He explains that this time he's just here to help out with her and the memory loss as he seems to be the reason she has forgotten everything that belonged to her.

we eventually start to reveal the girls past with the help of Orion. Which means unearthing disturbing things which should of been left forgotten.

Orion knows how to get the memories back without making her previous friends and co-workers suspicous of the memory loss. This means that when she's confused and passes out again (which happens a few times) she must not go to the hospital, she cannot see her friends that much as the memory burst may seem to be to over whelming for her and Orion, and it all has to be done before she even forgets how to breath and even live.

The two main characters are;

The girl: We don't actual get to know her name, well depending on what english subbed version you are watching. She appears to be innocent and forgiving when the series first starts but as she starts regaining memories she takes a turn for the worst. She's quite small, has long brown, pink dip died hair and looks cute in her maid outfit. she can't remember where she lives, her friends and where she works. She's the heart of the series and has everyone else focused on her at all times.

Orion: Our little friend who's out of this world. He's small, cute and loves mking our main character jump out of her skin and making her seem like she's gone insane as when she talks to him its like she's talking to her herself. He makes sure that throughout the seriets the girl who's lost her memories is the only one who can see, hear and talk to him. Later in the series Orion explains tht its his fault she can't remember anything and has lost her memories, he explains too us all that when he passed into the world of the living he acidentally bumped into her soul, knocking it out of its place and erasing all that she had known.

The series its self isn't really the best ive seen as I'm mainly into action, but to say there's no violence whatsoever I think this series is quite good even though its out of my comfort zone completely. It was recommended to me by a close school friend, Lauren, so I have to say thanks babe its a great series and I really enjoyed it!!!

It really isa great series though, it has amazing graphics and is exteemely amazing when it comes to attention to detail. The eyes, the hair and costumes are completely unique and in my eyes stand out amoungst other characters of lesser importance and other animes. It really is worth your time.

Review 24: Bleach Movie 4, Hell Verse

Watch out Hell, Ichigo is on his way.....

Yet again....... (I need to come up with new intros), Tite Kubo has come up with another great Bleach film... But rumour has it this maybe his last one, if so then its been a brilliant send off to Kubo's series of films that are Bleach.

In the opening to the film we see a previous fight inbetween Ichigo and a Arrancar. This little opening to the film does seem pointless, as there are no Arrancars actually involved in the story line.

This scene is to indicate that someone is watching Ichigo once he's ... lost control of his powers. We soon learn that the person who's been watching him fight is the one that wants to use all of Ichigos powers and cause trouble within the world of the living.

In the beginning of the film, we see three mysterious characters attempting to destroy the school that Ichigo and his friends attend. It fails but they do cause some damage to the school and students (Nothing Majour).

Soon after another two of these mysterious people appear, this time their not at the school but at Ichigos house and clinic. These two freaky looking characters have been assigned the task of abducting Ichigos little sisters. Only one of them is taken to hell though....

The rest of the film is basically Ichigo attempting to rescue one of his sisters from hell, trying not to lose control of his powers and keeping balance in the world of the living and Hell itself.

All in all I don't think this is the best Bleach flm that has been made. It lacks any sense of humour that the other films and episodes bring but has more action that fits in perfectly with the story line. For it to fit in with the other films and programmes I recommend a slightly humourous side is added to it just to lighten the mode slightly. The action is amazing and all but at times it was too quickly paced and hard to keep up with, but still had the amazing moves and graphics which we would expect from a Bleach film.

The film still has all of the great aspects that we would anticipate from Bleach. One thing it doesn't have is the fact that it usually shows our main cast for Bleach, in this film it shows about half. The action is amazing but slightly fast paced.

A brilliant film from start to finish.

Review 23: Bleach Movie 3, Fade To Black.

Once again..... Another quick, funny action packed film to add to the collection that we've gathered so far.

In the begining of this film we see the freakest squad capitain Mayuri, losing his mind after the realisation of creating "an amazing" invention that will help the soul society.

Ok, ok he doesn't lose his mind that easily. But you have to pay attention as it happens quickly. Two mysterious people appear, one without a weapon and the other with a Scythe.

When hit with the scythe it makes you forget certain little parts of your memory which are important to ... the soul society and will help the mysterious duo take away what's more important to them and Ichigo.

The only reason these two mysterious villians are willing to destroy the soul society and all of its inhabitants is because of one person.

Rukia. Yes that's right our beloved side kick who's finally regained most of her powers is kidnapped by these two mysterious people. But before she's kidnapped she's hit with the scythe..... This is what sets the rest of the film up.

Every one forgets Rukia, and soon Ichigo to. This sets up the scene, storyline and atmosphere for the rest of the film as Ichigo has to force Everyone to remember him and Rukia...... Which you will all find out how it goes when you see the film.

All the way through the film there are epic twists, realistic flash backs that fit in with the original episodes and amazing fighting scenes all the way through.

The film is amazing through out and is amazing through out all of the action. its yet again must see film by the creators of Bleach and deserves to be living constantly on the shelves of hmv but is available to order online.
