Every man's dream- the ability to have sex with a woman without her even knowing it. Wait.. What?
Mie Naito is your standard creeper but somehow you can get around it (it must be the hilarity of the circumstances).

From some random sensation of being poked in the woo-hoo at a bath house in the water to a ghost dog doing naughty things, the Invisible Stud has some fun with the ladies in a comedic manner that entertains the viewer as well as satisfies their porn needs.

Overall a good quick watch that is recommended.

A very interesting manga that's worth checking out. 10 volumes with about four chapters each.


The story centers around Ichijo Mashiro (or Mashiro Ichijou for the purists). Ichijo is intersexed and in the series he defines it as having a male "top" and female "bottom" as he has female genitals but a more masculine features in general which means, in most anime/manga, Ichijo is a very pretty man.
Ever since he can remember Ichijo has chosen to live as a male for the main reason that it's easier but one day the issue of gender identity rears its head again when he is in the shower and ... starts his first period.

For those of you who are thinking "EWWWW. Why would I want to read that?" please let me continue before you completely judge it. This is pretty much the most graphic part of the series and you get it over with soon so you can suck it up (which I mean with all the love of the world). There are sexual scenes but nothing too detailed, just suggestive. This is also not the entire plot but the dilemma the main character is in but some of the other characters are just as engaging.

The plot comes from a club that is held after school in a disappearing basement (there after school, gone during). In this club the participants are laid to rest in a curtained bed and enter a dream world where they are presented as their "real" selves. In this world Ichijo is dressed in a girl's uniform and, choosing to live his life as a man, is understandably upset about being portrayed as such when other students can see him this way.
The whole purpose of the dream world is to "kill" the others to find the key. When one has the key they go to the door and "graduate".


Details:
When one graduates their existence is basically wiped out and people forget they were ever in that school.
When people are killed in the dream world it is when the large beads around their neck crack and fall apart. Each person starts with three a piece and when they defeat another they get some of their beads. These beads can be broken in several ways. There is, of course, destroying the body but there is also the option of breaking their spirit by saying or doing things that hurt them emotionally.


The ending is reeaalllyyy good. Like... Brought me to tears good. I wasn't blubbering but I did get misty eyed.
I think it's a good thing I don't know much about symbolism or Japanese culture 'cause if I did it probably would've ruined it for me.
Good read. Fantastic read. Amazing read.
You better read it.

Seriously? So few reviews? This series is fantastic and has really everything you could ask for in a solid manga.

The characters are relatable and fun, the stories as well as the pets are unique, the artwork is gorgeous and the dialogue is great.

It only spans 10 volumes but it does pick up in a second series where Count D moves to Tokyo. Also, it comes to a solid "end" though it still leaves you begging for more which makes the sequel series that much more fantastic.

Bottom line: Read this manga.

If any teenage girls are going to read a single series of manga this should be it. Confidential Confessions is amazing and I give major kudos the the author because these are issues that need to be talked about and if they can be put out into the open in a convenient way it's even more amazing.

CC is not for the light of heart. This stuff is very dark and dramatic and will tug at your heartstrings. From drugs to rape and other types of abuse, these stories really show what goes on and how people should and should not deal with them.

Confidential Confessions will ... always hold a special place in my heart because it teaches fantastic lessons that everyone can learn from.

The Petshop of Horrors manga is great, the anime... Not so much. It's got the same dark tones but it seems a bit rshhed and a bit of a side project rather than something people actually worked hard on (yeah, it's only four episodes but really, they could have done much better). Don't get me wrong, it's pretty but it doesn't do the manga justice.

The English voices don't fit well and the animation of some episodes is unnecessarily gory and dramatic. From the anime one might get the impression that PSOH is all gothic drama with weird pets when there really is quite a bit ... of humor in it as well.

Overall, unless you've read the manga or have all intentions of doing so, please, do not watch the anime.

This is a fun little animation that I stumbled upon and really enjoyed. It may seem a bit boring at first but you simply can't give up on it. For one thing, it's so short, you can suck it up, and for another thing it goes through a little backwards time line that can tug at your heart. It's sad but it's also sweet so watching this film is definitely worth the look-see.

I don't know why I'm such a huge fan of this anime but I think I can give a few reasons that should inspire others to check it out.

One thing I like about this series is it's long enough to really develop the storyline and characters but not long enough to make you want to give up on anime altogether. Unfortunately it does end before it was scheduled to but it's not a very abrupt end that leaves you dangling and wanting to pull out your hair.

Through all the seriousness and drama and "woe is me" moments there are a few good humorous parts and ... some really sweet ones as well.

At times it can seem very slow but it pays off with the depth of the characters and really showing you how the whole world works.

A warning to those who hate Mary-Sues, Yuuko is pretty annoying for the first, I'd say, dozen episodes or so but she grows on you and when more characters are introduced it gets better so if you can, be patient and you'll most definitely be rewarded.

It may just be my love of quiet, brooding guys with long, unkempt hair and an open vest exposing their bare chests but I really loved this anime. This is probably one the best examples of a so-so game turning into a pretty good anime. I mean, the tag line for the game (and appearing every time you started a new stage) was "Kick their asses!" Yes, the game is a lot of "kick ass-ness " but so is the anime. The storyline is good; it kept me interested which is hard to do when everything's about big business and scientific experiments. There's a cute ... little romance that spurs Brandon aka Beyond the Grave on but there's also a lot of revenge so guys and gals alike can enjoy it.

The enjoyment of this movie really depends on a few things. I love this movie, love, love, love, love, LOVE it but it is, hands down, the most depressing movies I have ever seen. There are several times during the movie where you will go "Aww" because the girl is so incredibly adorable but there are just as many times that will bring a tear to your eye if not a whole flood.
It's entertaining and educational and do not be put off by the sadness, this is a great movie and if you think you can sit through it, Grave of the Fireflies is one ... of the most memorable (animated) movies you will ever see.

Dead Leaves goes about 70 mph through the entire movie and sometimes it's a good thing (i.e. really awkward perverted situations) but it's funny if you have a good sense of humor and while it may leave you a little winded by the end it's something to check out if you like animation that's a little left of the middle.
