Arat Kangatari, a anime about a young boy in high school who gets bullied a lot by an old ex friend and people who he thought are his friends get bullied as well into not being friends with him. Basically making the main character's life pretty miserable and to the point where he wants to disappear. Which in a sense . . he does, just he gets transported to another world or dimension, whichever you prefer to call it.
Arata our main character gets transported into another world and replaces another guy named Arata. Yet they see him as the Arata from their world, they don't ... see him as a high school boy who isn't tan and has black hair. Which he keeps it a secret from Kotoha since she was fascinated with Arata and has no idea he's someone else. Which soon later they start developing a little traveling group which consists of : our main character, a young girl who can heal, a bandit kid, and a cast out of the 12 cool group of warriors.
To give my opinion quite bluntly and honestly: this anime was a disappointment in my eyes. Take note I haven't read the manga yet, so I am uncertain if they even go into more details about anything. Though when I say this anime is a ' disappointment ' I am merely just disappointed at the potential that it held yet it felt like it was wasted entirely. You have a sword that is supposed to be the ' greatest ' and our main character holds that sword, but all it does is produce a simple barrier and not do really . . anything. That was a big disappointment, until the end of the anime where it actually does something different, yet it still didn't really improve much in the end except do some pretty looking rainbow moves.
All swords though that have special abilities were really unique in their own ways, which I really liked and enjoyed. Seeing how it'd be total bore if they were basically all the same and looked the same etc etc. Yet, they didn't really explain all too much about anything for the swords, if they even have a purpose, they didn't even give much information about the princess and what her purpose was. Or why they even did what they did to her in the beginning as well. It just made you sit there and think all the time ' And the purpose of this was . . ? '.
The story though was still good and pretty decent. It just seemed like a couple of times there was a couple of parts that were pretty unnecessary to have in there. Other than that, the story was completely fine. All stories have faults so there's nothing much you can do about that. The characters have some pretty good character development going on for them all as well especially our main character of course. His enemy though, well there's just not much going on for him. His enemy is just his old friend who hates his guts just because of a silly reason. To the point where he's fully willing to kill him, which brings another question, why is this guy so crazy about this and to the point where he wants to take up a sword and kill him ? The enemy's drive to fight Arata just seemed . . . like a completely weak reason to have any sort of hate toward him, bully him, or want to kill him. There wasn't really any drive at all it just seemed completely empty. It seemed like they were completely wasting the potential of a good enemy character, where they just give him a silly completely wasteful reason to come after him.
All in all, the story was good, it was perfect, but it was still good. The characters were also very good and I enjoyed each and one of them. All the enemies had a different outlook to them and it was very enjoyable. Enjoyment ? There wasn't really much enjoyment for myself as it seemed like most of the time it took all of my effort just to get through one episode. Things didn't really get interesting or good until the end which also just . . kind of ended in disappointment with what happened. I can only pray the manga goes deeper into the things that feel like it's missing and need to be explained. So overall I gave this anime a 6, it was a pretty good fair decent anime.
Would I recommend it ? Maybe. It would just depend if this anime is the sort of thing you're looking for and you wouldn't mind the issues that it had. I wouldn't say don't watch it though, as it does have some pretty good points to it such as the characters and development that it held. So if you're up to it, go ahead and watch the anime. Will you end up disappointed or not though would be up to you completely.

If you are wanting to read a fun manga series dealing with mafia and a lot of random things being thrown in there filled with a lot of action, then I think this series will probably be right for you.

There's a lot of arcs in this series dealing with the future and past, many different mafia bosses, you have other mafia countries thrown in here, and you have a whimpy boy who is no good and useless for the main character.

For those who read this already know what I am talking about, our main character hero is a boy called Tsuna ( nickname of course ... ) and is useless and is no good, and can't even confess to the girl that he loves and just skips school all the time as he can never do anything right and he is failing school. Which all ends when he meets up with someone called Reborn who looks like some toddler but is apart of the mafia and is here to train Tsuna into being the best mafia he can be.

In the story Tsuna recruits members for his mafia gang, meets up with many other people who become friends but are also enemies, but as the saying goes, keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer.

Even if they are enemies though they also become very important in the story for Tsuna in his story of becoming the 10th vongola boss.

The beginning is of course slightly boring and slow as it is the introduction trying to get in all the main characters as possible to introduce everyone and explain all the stories and to try to toughen Tsuna up also. But as the story progresses, well that's when all the good awesome action comes in. And also the art gets better if you compare the first chapters to the newest chapters, the art had completely progressed further and you can tell the author got better. But when has anyone started out as a professional artist in the beginning ?

The whole story was very enjoyable even if the story bounced around to different arcs too much it was still very well put. It may have been annoying but it was great. The ending was satisfying too even if nothing too exciting happened it was still very great !

All in all I highly suggest this manga if you are really into the mafia stories with all the action that comes along with it !

So Heart no Kuni no Alice , or as some people call it , Alice in the country of hearts

So personally , this is a probably over used idea for Alice in Wonderland but I believe Quinrose did a pretty good job with this one. This isn't really like all the other Alice in Wonderland mangas we've all seen I believe. Or well , what I've seen really ;;
But this manga is pretty much overall enjoyable with all the funny characters , the plot line , the art , and it's just really fun to enjoy it.

So for the story you basically got Alice talking ... to her sister and her sister reads her a book about Alice in Wonderland , and we all know where that leads too. Alice sees the white rabbit , but Alice just thinks it's her imagination and goes back to sleep but then suddenly, the rabbit turns into a hot looking guy which makes everyone question the world including Alice. Then it doesn't help much when the guy just throws her down into the rabbit hole and falls down with her. And then they appear in wonderland but this sort of wonderland is very odd seeing how it's all a game and everyone has to play by certain rules. And of course , this game is never really explained so we all have to sit there and think what this game is. Of course though , along the way some parts of the rules are explained a little bit and why some people have faces and others don't but other than that , they still don't explain much of it. We just know that each of the characters that Alice meets that has faces each partake in some role of the game and are important people.

The art of this manga was actually pretty good. Especially when we got to a weird dream world where a person named Nightmare exists at. Sure it was super creative but this is a dream world basically , not all of them are going to be super fancy , rainbow flowers stuff so I really liked how they made the dream world into.

The characters were all very funny and enjoyable. I absolutely adored them all , except for one person. Which is the Mad Hatter Blood Dupre. Sure , people can get angry at me all they want for not like him , but I seriously do not care I did not like him at all. And it frustrates me more that people actually liked him with Alice , and it makes me wonder if people actually see that he is a jackwagon who wants to / kill / Alice when she begins to bore him. And he actually choked her one time too lets not forget that everyone. Even though I did actually like him a little bit in the beginning I still just grew to dislike him. There was just some things about him I really hated and which those who are new to reading this manga , will have to find out yourselves if you ever decide to read the manga. But other then him , all the characters are pretty unique and funny in their own way. Personally , I love how they made the Queen of Hearts. She is completely different from the original Queen of Hearts that we always see so it was a pretty nice change. Then you basically just have all the other characters from Alice in Wonderland in Heart no Kuni no Alice just in human forms. Cheshire the cat , the caterpillar , white rabbit , queen of hearts , etc etc etc.
They are all there , and Quinrose did a good job mixing them all together getting a pretty good decent good story out of it.

Basically though , through out the whole time I was a bit iffy on this manga. Reason being , before this came out to be a manga , it was a dating sims game that many people know of and thats basically how this manga got kind of popular because those who knew of the game , decided to go read the manga and I guess the word got spread around about the manga that way not too all sure about it all. But , you always have to be careful though when it comes to these things when you got a girl with a bunch of men she can be paired up with if you turn it into a manga. You might just piss off so many fans if you pair her up with any of the guys in the manga since in the game you pair her up with anyone and everyone always has the one person they always like that person with. Like with Alice for example , not everyone likes her with Blood , and like her with say , Julius. Quinrose can easily make so many of their fans get angry for pairing her up with Blood in the manga.
Which they sort of did in the end of the manga , they paired her up with someone , which I will not say who , if you want to figure out you'll have to go read the manga.

But overall , the whole story was pretty exciting and good. And I suggest that any lovers of Alice in Wonderland should read this manga , and expect to find a whole lot of fun and enjoyment with it. The whole manga basically doesn't get boring theres always something going on so I'm pretty sure everyone will enjoy it unless your just not a fan of Alice in Wonderland than yea aha ;;

anyway , I hope you all find my review helpful and enjoying thank you for reading c :

So here is my review of Macross Frontier , and I hope you all enjoy it and find it useful to you if you ever decide to watch this anime c :

So the story line.
It was a really good story line actually , and I'm pretty sure all lot of people have been going around saying now that ' OHAY WE'RE GONNA GET ATTACKED BY ALIENS IN 2012 INSTEAD OF BEING EXPLODED ' because of that whole ' end of the world ' crap. But , in the anime having earth attacked by aliens is probably an original thing when it comes to that sci-fi ... stuff that a lot of people enjoy. But what I love about this anime they shove mechs and the alien stuff together and you see many battle scenes and of course , humans going through space. The story has a good thing with it though and it has a lot of things you wont expect yet will expect since some of the stuff gets kind of obvious in a way. Now with the whole story is also kind of original since humans are trying to find a place to live at instead of being up in space for all the time. But it also gives a reason for the story to go on , especially since they are trying to get away from these creatures Vajra. Which are also mech creatures who bring out guns too randomly and start killing everybody. NOW THAT WAS A TWIST. And then with the end of the story , thank the lord , it wasn't something stupid or just irritating. It was a perfectly normal happy ending and I liked it that way too , but they also kind of left it open in the end with the two main girls talking about the challenge that they will not back down from singing or love , meaning that , they are both continuing going to try and get Alto's love. So for story , I give it a 10 / 10.

Art , it was alright.
Just sometimes with the flashes and such and explosions , it got a bit to crazy. Yea yea , I know it's a mech anime there needs to be explosions , well I'm not really a mech anime person so I guess thats why I'm kinda all ' meh ' on it. But also some things just looked . . . a bit off and odd but there wasn't too much of that and plus , they really needed to work on Sheryl. I have no idea about anyone else , but she looked like a lady with a man's face. I'm not even joking. To me they should have fixed that up , sure there was some parts where she did look like a female but she mainly looked like a male female thing. So it gets a 9 / 10.

Sound , sound is always perfect my goodness.
The voice actors were picked out perfectly for all the characters , they did a brilliant job with it. And they did good sound effects too , really sound should always get a 10 / 10. Unless if there is horrible voice actors that make you wanna rip out your hair , then sure , give it a low score.

Characters. 8 / 10.
One reason. I hate Sheryl and Alto.
I really could care less what all those little fangirls and fanboys can say out there but I personally , do not like them at all. I hate them. Sheryl is just some stupid chick and Alto is some stupid boy out there with their hormones going crazy. While poor Ranka is being neglected a lot and I thought this was suppose to be a ' love triangle ' . Yea WHERE IS THAT LOVE TRIANGLE ? Because to me , it just seems just pure Alto x Sheryl to me. Then I also hate how they started to treat Ranka too , really it just irked me. Ranka met Alto first and they became buddies and then Alto just suddenly threw all his attention to Sheryl once she came in. Which is why I'm pretty sure theres a lot of Brera x Ranka fans out there. They all went to THAT pairing instead of Alto since Alto is such an idiot. But personally I have to say I was excited when Brera came in. Really he looked pretty kick ass , and awesome so I got pretty excited when he came in. Though with the twist of his background , that was kind of seen coming with his relation toward Ranka , which I will not say and you guys will have to go watch it to figure out yourself to see what it is. But really , I kinda got really angry when they killed off a awesome character and then another person too. Really , what was the point of killing them ? Well except for the one dude that got killed by Leon , that was understandable. BUT THE OTHER GUY ?
NGH.

Enjoyment , 9 / 10.
Mainly 9 / 10 because of Sheryl and Alto since I hate them with a firey passion. But I didn't let them get in the way of my enjoyment with the anime. But then again I'm also not a mech anime fan person so that effected it also. But then again it was really a mech anime to me , just space ships. I was really expecting some more gundams in there but there really wasn't , just plain space ships , flying around.

Over all , 8 / 10.
Personally I think they need to work on Alto and Sheryl more , and make them less annoying. They really bring down the whole fun of the anime because they are just both so stupid. And , I think these are just one of those not really ' mech ' animes just a sci-fi anime. One , because theres all these different alien creatures in there , they are looking for a new planet to live on , and they are fighting aliens all the bloody time. Sure it is a bit of a mech anime but not really. Seriously though , I think this would be a good anime for those people who don't really love mech animes , this would be a perfect one for you guys.

Well theres my review , and I hope it was useful and enjoyable for you c :

So another season of Slayers came out and I decided to watch it and now that I finished it I have . . . not much to say but then a lot to say at the same time.

I gave a 9 / 10 for the story , the story was a enjoyable but I have to say , I liked the old seasons of Slayers more then this one. Not that this one was horrible it just seemed like it was too short and they could have gone more in depth with it then the short , quick , and easy way. Like how the ... heck did Rezo randomly come into this again and why is he back. I'm really starting to think that this guy will just never leave which is starting to irritate me a lot and I'm pretty sure that it's irritating everyone else too. But it was interesting how they added the new characters with their own stories. Like with Pokota and Duclis. I have no idea if anyone else noticed , but with what happened to their town was like long long ago in England with the plague and all. Which seemed kinda interesting because they made their own version of the plague , and yet of course Rezo came in to save the day , which wasn't really all that surprising.

Art , I gave a 10 / 10 . The art is better I admit from the old seasons of Slayers , but only because the computer art stuff has progressed over the years , and then the series was taken over by a new company also. But the art has improved which I give cheers for.

Sound I gave 8 / 10. The music . . . is different now , but still kind of the same but I prefer the old music from the old seasons then the new one. But the sound affects were great along with all the blasts from the magic and sword fighting jazz stuff.

For characters I gave 9 / 10. I give them props for adding new characters , but the only thing that annoys me is Pokota. When he was in his original form before he got transferred to that weird doll thing , he looked WAY too much like a girl. He looked like a tom boy girl with long pink hair , and that large hoop earring on the left ear annoyed me , A LOT. Then theres also Zuuma , we barely got to know anything about him which bothered me. They should have gone more in depth with Zuuma other then announcing he's some big all time ' assassin ' that always gets the job done. Then they left a completely HUGE thing about him becoming an assassin because of Lina , they never explained that which entirely bothers me too and I want to know the reason in that. But then I'm also glad to see that they haven't changed any of the main characters personalities besides just making Lina more violent and more quicker to blast people with a dragon slave. But other than that , I'm content with all the characters in the anime.

For enjoyment I gave 9 / 10 , I'm pretty sure everyone will enjoy this anime if your into these kind of animes , but for those who are fans of the old seasons of Slayers you may be a little disappointed with some things but still be content. There is some flaws in this season of Slayers , but all in all it's very enjoyable.

And my overall score for this season of Slayers is 8 / 10.
Despite all the flaws of the season and how different it is from the old seasons , I'm pretty sure Slayer fans and people who are new to Slayers will enjoy it. You will be basically laughing all the time from the goofiness , silliness , and all the stupid parts. You can never be bored when Lina Inverse is there because she always makes things entertaining.

I hope my review helped you guys out and make all those who haven't seen Slayers yet , take a chance and decide to watch it.

This manga is a really cute and very much an enjoyable read. I'm pretty sure for those who enjoy those cute fluffy mangas I'm pretty you will all enjoy this manga.

Anyway here's my review ~ c :

For the story , I gave it 10 / 10 . I thought it was creative how there is a new sort of animal species or something like that called Babies. Even though they are really cute and adorable looking , I wished they were a little bit more creative looking. But I still think they are cute and adorable looking and I totally wish they were real. But ... I really love how this story progresses later on even though it's a very short manga and I wish it was longer. But you pretty much have your main girl and the main guy who don't have babies in their school while the rest of the school does and then one day the girl does find three pure white babies that are rare apparently because there is no other pure white ones. But then it turns out that the babies have a special power which then brings out this boy who wants to use them as an experiment to see why they have these powers but then later on he turns good and helps out her and her friends. The only thing that confused me though was how the main girl died , I either missed something or they didn't explain it , but I'll probably have to reread it to see what happened.

The art , I loved completely. It was all cute and looked completely adorable. I really enjoyed the looks of how all the characters were given too , they were all cute and adorable in their own way. I also really liked how Ema did the backgrounds of this manga too so it all gets a 10 / 10.

The characters , I enjoyed. The main girl had that spunky attitude and the determination to keep trying even though her mom never really payed attention to her and only to her siblings but didn't stop her from trying her best. Then the main guy was also cute too , he is a shy but not so shy boy but has a very obvious crush on Tama and suddenly he develops a slightly more mature teenager attitude near the end after the relationship between him and Tama grew. I also love how they threw in the other characters in there like the one girl who has a crush on the guy with the crown. That was a cute couple and very cute adorable characters to throw in there. The other ones , I wish we got to know about them a little more which is why I wish that Ema made this manga longer. So I just give the characters a 9 / 10.

I enjoyed this whole entire manga , it was just simply too cute to stop reading and I had a hard time to stop reading it when I had to leave to school because it just kept getting better and more better as I read further into it. To me it basically felt like a book that you would read at a library and you just can't put it down at all. So I gave it a 10 / 10 for enjoyment.

all in all the overall score is 10 / 10 . This manga is very enjoyable and I hope that rest of those who decide to read this manga enjoy it too like I have c :

This manga is by far the most fantastic , inspiring , wonderful , magical , amazing , and most funny story I have ever read by Clamp. This whole series threw me for a loop when I first read it. At first I was kind of weirded out because I saw a talking dog who breaths fire and everything but soon fell in complete love with this manga.

The art in this manga is outstanding , it completely inspires me to make my own manga and it helps me with ideas too. And just how the art is done in this manga is cute , detailed ... , beautiful , and outstanding. I can tell that they took their time with the drawings for the manga and the backgrounds with it. The backgrounds are like what you'd find in town which is something I really like and then when they start talking about things that deal with magic or another world suddenly see the background in some sort of mythical style or something on the lines with that. They fit in the backgrounds really well with the characters and how they are talking about things. And then how they gave the characters a unique style is really great too. Sure I've heard some people say that Fujimoto looks like Syoran from Tsubasa but personally , I really don't see it. But all in all , the art in this manga is completely amazing.

The characters in this story are amazing as well. You have a girl who got sent down to earth on a mission that was given to her by God and has someone there to help her complete her wish but also teaching her new things because she has no idea how to do things in the human world and the person watching her is being forced too because he is going under a punishment by god since he started a war because he wanted something so badly he decided to start the war. And then you got the characters that are on earth , a guy who is really super grouchy and doesn't trust anyone other than people he really knows but slowly is starting to develop feelings for the main character even if he doesn't realize it himself , and then you got the woman who is in charge of the nursery who is fighting with all her power to keep the nursery up and not shut down even if it's going to make her sick or exhausted , then you have the man trying to shut down the nursery who is her ex-husband and is a complete mystery and actually very amusing. But then you have the spirit people also going under punishment do to the war that was started by Ioryogi and they completely hold a grudge against him ( well at least some do not all ) and still they help him out. Then you have the angel Kohaku that makes a sudden appearance in the manga and anime and seems to know about some things going on but keeping it to herself.

This manga , is completely enjoyable. If you are someone like me , you will always be on the edge of your seat basically screaming in frustration and wanting to go rage at Clamp when you have to wait for an update for the manga because you really REALLY want to know what happens next. This manga will have you on the edge of your seat A LOT.

Overall , this manga totally deserves a big fat 10. It has a great plot , great art , great characters , and 100 % enjoyable and will just simply suck you into it and you will start loving it completely.

This story is really simple yet very cute and amazing , it's a great manga and it really proves to show anyone who is shy and lives inside their shell and can't get a friend , you can actually get a friend if you try to stand up and reach out to others even if you happen to only get internet friends but due in time you can still get real life friends.
The art in this manga was really adorable and I loved it , the only thing I didn't like was the backgrounds. The backgrounds were really simple and sort of plain and I ... wished Ema would have went more in depth with them but then again , backgrounds are a pain to draw and such so I can assume maybe Ema was getting irritated with that or maybe just lazy I have no idea.
The characters were great , I loved everyone of them but they are the same old routine character people. You see those type of characters basically in every manga / anime , so thats the only gave a 9 for characters for that because Ema could have probably went in more with a different character but they characters she made are still cute.
All in all , I really really enjoyed this manga , I'm sure it can give A LOT of encouragement to shy people out there if they read this. Well at least I would hope it would. So I'm sure a lot of people will enjoy this manga even if they can see a lot of flaws in it , but it's still really enjoyable.
But overall this whole thing gets a 9. And the only thing I can really say I dislike about this manga is that Ema did not go into depth with MegaPIG ( Aoi Nanjo ) . I really wish Ema would have gave us more of a story with MegaPIG and had him in there way more than he was especially with that one shot at the end with him. We didn't really get know about MegaPIG which is kind of sad because I'm sure we all like to get to know about all of the characters in any manga / anime series even if they are annoying. Which is why I'm disappointed , I think Ema should at least do a few more chapters and throw MegaPIG in there but I highly doubt it will happen but at least we can be somewhat satisfied with the little bit at the end with him so we have that to look forward too I guess. But I do encourage all people to read this manga , I'm pretty sure all of you will enjoy it if your into these sort of mangas.

I gave this manga all 10's because it is truly amazing. I've read Koko Ni Iru Yo! by Ema Tooyama but this manga that Ema is doing right now is better I think. Comparing these two together I would think Watashi Ni xx Shinasai is far better because Ema goes into more depth in this manga I think and has a excellent plot for this. You have a girl who does not know anything about love / romance and then you have a boy who pretends to be innocent who is actually a guy who uses it as a game for him to be ... amused by it all and then you have Yukina's cousin who is a boy who doesn't involve himself until he gets jealous later on and says to her that he loves her. Then Yukina is blackmailing Shigure to be her test subject for helping her write her cell phone novel. But then of course you could probably see it coming that she is starting to fall in love with Shigure but doesn't realize it herself since she is completely unknown to these kind of things. And I find it great that they tossed in Shigure's childhood friend in there to get some drama into the manga. Because it would have been boring with her just assigning missions and just having Akira there to be a conflict but now you got Akira and Mami both creating conflict and some drama for Yukina and Shigure ( especially for chapter 17 when they go to the amusement park ). The only thing that slightly disturbs me is Mami since she's a bit crazy and saying that Shigure is ' her's ' but then again she does seem like the slightly possessive girl even though she has that whole fake innocent act going on like Shigure does. But I highly suggest this manga to anyone who is curious about this and I highly support that you read this manga , I'm sure it'll blow your thoughts away.
