The story of Major follows the life of Goro Honda, from kindergarten to being a professional baseball player, seeking and overcoming tremendous challenges.
As far as i know this might probably be the only or one of the very few manga that you can actually follow a character from 5 years old to high school to adulthood to the Major League(as you could see by the manga name) he becomes in the end a man with his own family and children, the way we follow Goro was truly a one of a kind experience, in the end it feels like you gained friends someone you will ... never forget at least that's how it was for me, one if not the best sports manga out there.

I'm a slow reader, i'm lazy when it's about reading something but i finished the manga in 12 days which for me is truly fast, even after watching the anime 2 times i still got addicted to the manga to the point i didn't want to stop reading, the drama of real life tragedies, the willpower to keep going, the amazing battles between athletes, despair, happiness, you get everything you can think of in this manga so as you can see the story is just amazingly perfect.

The Art is very solid and pleasing to see, does get a little sloppy in the first volumes at certain times, however, it is well done during important parts, especially during games with amazing detail that you can even see the bat pieces when it breaks, and in the last volumes the art is just perfect, characters are also very well draw.

Characters, the character development that Major has is a lot of focus on developing relationships within the team, is family and how problems arise and are solved among them. The characters are all very likable, developed with past, present and future and its fun to watch them interact with each other, there are also a few issues which come up within Goro's family and it shows how he as a child, handles them. I found certain scenes to be quite touching and others to be abuse and bulling of Goro, for real the poor guy can't catch a break.

So Overall I enjoyed this so much, it's my favorite sports manga and anime and everything that may become in the future, i'm a FANBOY :P, i totally recommend this, or better saying i totally recommend people to force everyone else to read/watch this one way or another, this is definitely that one manga everyone should read.

this really has 9.32 MAL Score wtf? i feel like doing a review just to express and let out the disappointment. THIS HAS MAJOR SPOILERS .


this made no sense at all the more i was thinking the less sense the movie made, the visuals are great sure, and there were fun moments but the plot just made no fucking sense, basically the meteor was predicted to fall, so that family could dream and exchange bodies with others just so that one day they could use that to save the town people, those 2 kids did it in 3 year time difference, time traveling their ... minds just to stop it, and maybe this was all possible thanks to a God? who then makes them forget it just so they can obsess over it and as adults find each other but still no memories?

And how do anyone justifies the plot holes like:
At no point did either of them see the date and realize they were living 3 years in the past and future
They never tried to text or call each other to discuss what was happening and were happy with just leaving notes in each others diary.
How do you expect me to believe the boy never even took the time to find out what town he was living while using the girl's body? the school he spends most of his time in is literally called "Itomori High School" and he still couldn't make this connection.

I think that was all the movie had in it, i still don't get it why is it so popular, why do people like it? guess i will never know, same with Frozen, Twilight etc... somethings just have no explanation and so this movie to me it was average at best sorry.

Jie Mo Ren, is a chinese animation, now is made in China good? well the answer in this case in my opinion is No.

The story is dull, plot wise doesn't really make much sense (i think because it based on a game which i have not played), the voice acting sounds like a cheap dub at moments and animation is average at best although some scenes were well animated but they had censorship on some gore/violent parts, the Opening is good , the characters have the classic personalities you can find in most anime so not much to say here.

Overall the anime is average to ... mediocre at best, you can watch it if you feel interested and have free time for it if not my recommendation is to just skip it and you won't lose anything important since there are way better anime to watch out there.
My reason to watch it is because i was interesting in seeing anime made in China XD

Each episode is around 11-13min witch i guess makes it easy to watch, you can watch it on Youtube (i guess to be there it's because it's legal so i can tell users who read this review were to find this anime).

Yes Lolita but Father? or My Father is a Loli, is a strange yet funny manga, about a Father scientist who turns himself into a Loli, and since that day a lot of funny, strange and dangerous things happen.

Characters- 7/10

The father scientist who turns into a Loli, the assistant with big boobs, the Lolicon son, the girl who is the childhood best friend that is also in love with the MC, the girl's other friend, the MC other friend, the the genius transfer student, and a very special cockroach(yes that's right) etc.. we have the classic characters for a school/comedy and some ... more original with some twist/secret, they are all funny and well draw.

Art- 8/10

The Art is good, the comedy scenes are very well draw, the face expresions are really good and the Lolis are very very cute. Some ecchi scenes and kind of action are also very good.

Story- 7/10

The Story is not anything deep and complex, it's simple yet nice, just a story about a father scientist who makes himself a Loli with a fail experiment and then good,bad, funny things happen. What can you get from reading this? well you get comedy, cute Lolis some good and funny plot twists.

Overall/Enjoyment- 8/10

This may looks like a stupid idea for a manga but it was fun to read, don't go into it expecting something amazing, life changing or anything like that, this is just comedy with Lolis and weird stuff happening all around witch makes it very fun and nice to read. I recommend it to anyone who has 30 minutes to 1hour free to read it :)

Dolly Kill Kill, i knew that something with that name had to be good and i was right, this manga has it all, good story with huge potential, cool characters, great amount of violence and gore and all done/draw very well.

Both Story and Art authors, this is their first Manga and it's a really good one, so moving on:

Story- 8/10

The story is an apocalypse kind of theme with a flair of creepiness known as Dollies that style of Aliens or Monster that invade Earth wiping almost all humans but some survive and now it's on them to take back Earth and win the war ... against the enemy.

The downside of this manga are the quantity of pages on each chapter. The count of pages starts somewhere in the twenties but after the first like 40 chapters begins to become below the twenties.

So if your into scary story's , full of action, gore and with hidden secrets this is a great choice.

Art- 9/10

A great style of art to say the least. I personally find it very suitable to the story and not only is it not blurry at all but the fighting scenes are also very clear . The characters also have a nice style to them as they are simple drawn and yet charming at the same time. The gore and body parts have improved since the manga first started and action got better and better, plus amazing face expressions.

Overall/Enjoyment- 10/10

I love it, the action, gore, the drama and despair of some characters everything is very well done , i have never follow a manga from the start but i'm very glad i did on this one and i will keep doing it if the creators make more works.

Mitsudomoe Season 2!!!! As i said in my review of the first season this anime was so great i don't really know how to express it, well it made me a fanboy that's for sure, this is exactly what i want from Comedy anime, i laugh so much i had to pause to breath, the only flaw is that this season only has 8 episodes Q_Q why!!! i wanted so much more >.> well dispite that we get a very original first episode and an awesome other 7 that just made my jaw hurt so much from laughing

Art- 9/10

The Art is great, it ... does not rely on the more realistic design approach, instead opting for the super cute, funny and scary, Hitoha scary scenes are so well done, then you have Futaba destruction scenes and rampage style witch was done so well and all other characters have their own way and style on their moments.

Characters- 9/10

The Triplet Sisters are just AWESOME!!!! The youngest is dark and scary, socially awkward but cute and soft on the inside, The middle sister is a pervert for boobs, so athletic that she can break walls but easy embarrassed, The eldest sister is sadistic, glutton but worried about her weight, and craves for attention. These combination makes for great and funny scenes that will make you laugh more than you possibly can.

Overall/Enjoyment- 10/10

Overall i had never laugh so much watching anything from movies to tv series, Mitsudomoe is Comedy non-stop, funny stuff one after another, i might be over-rating who knows and who cares it's comedy or you like it or you don't. So i totally recommend this to everyone. For a Second season was really great!! i just wish they made a third, fourth etc... more more more :)

Brave Story is a movie about tragedies, wanting to change history and destiny, how far will you go for that and what are you willing to sacrifice for it. The movie as some flaws like it was to short, it should have had more character development but it did have a good happy ending.

Story- 8/10

Do you like adventure?
If the anwser is yes then this movie is made for you, a story about 2 kids who go into a new world to try to achieve their dreams/wishes, fans of old-school fantasy and RPGs may find Brave Story to their liking. It also addresses the ... debate of “swords or magic?” and what is strong

Art- 8/10

The Art is satisfying, with some CGI but well done, not great but good enough. The art seems to draw on Ghibli inspirations. The character designs range from downright quirky, to the absolutely adorable, much like the studio from which the inspiration has been drawn.

Characters- 6/10

This is my opinion obviously but i hated the MC Wataru for being to soft, to weak and always wanting to see the best in people or something, typical shonen bullshit that the power of feelings and friendship can conquer everything so for people who like that kind of stuff they might enjoy the characters. Another problem was development only Wataru and Ashikawa got developed while the others you get no information at all and you get all this questions with no answers.

Overall/Enjoyment- 8/10

Despite the flaws the movie had i did enjoy it and have fun watching it. It was relaxing, with good action and a happy ending that could have been done better but still good.

Shisha no Teikoku (The Empire of Corpses) a movie from the Project Itoh, so this entire movie was some how confusing, I enjoyed it, but I had problems understanding part of it maybe with a re-watch in the future I will understand more, part of the reason it's hard to understand is the characters since they are from different novels/books and without reading them you may not understand some characters decisions so moving on:

Story- 6/10

On the paper, Empire of Corpses looks like the coolest thing ever. Seriously, a movie about zombies who become part of society and are used in our daily lives in a ... Steampunk London with famous characters from various novels? Fuck Yeah but as always the sad part is, the movie promises you lots of things but has trouble to keep them. The story looks simple at first sight but it’s actually way more complex that you think. The first half of the movie is pretty good but it falls apart in the second half, the ending will leave you with lots of questions that will never be answered nothing is explained multiples brains had to work together on this movie to understand it well i guess that’s something.

Characters- 8/10

The characters are almost all from various novels/books or are real people that I believe lived in London during that century. But that doesn’t really matter actually. Aside from little references that made me smile like “ooh look it's Frederick Burnaby” the characters being named after famous people has no influence on the story whatsoever.You have the Main Character Dr. Watson (sidekick to Holmes) Hadaly Lilith (from the book The Future Eve) and many others so are they well developed? I’d say meh i guess without reading those books you can't know how much alike they really are or different they are, the character designs are great.

Sound- 7/10

Really nothing big to say here, the OST had nothing memorable but it was good enough to set good moods for action or drama.

Art- 10/10

Now this was the best thing from the movie, the Art is amazing, Wit studio has done a great job once again the movie is eye candy for anyone from snowy cold landscapes to the noisy, full of corpses city of London, corpses exploding and fighting scenes everything was detailed, well draw and animated.

Overall/Enjoyment- 8/10

Should you watch it? well if the movie sounded cool you should check it out, I know I’m kind on this one, but the Art saved this show, I also liked the characters and the story of this movie i belive there is more to it than what i understood or what you can understand watching it only once it’s obvious that it could have been better handled and executed with maybe more explanations on the incentives of the characters and the story as a hole. Anyway it's a good movie and i don't think you lose anything from watching it :)

Shinsekai Yori can resemble the stories we used to tell each other around campfires or sleepovers, mystery, horror and suspense around a group of psychic kids in a specialized school and as the days pass they realize that more things lurk in their school and their lives, learning the past can not always be a good thing.

Story 8/10

the first 5-6 episodes can be boring, but they are a poor indicator of what's to come, one problem doe is the tendency to get distracted, from one entire episode of psychic football just to make a small point at the end, to chunks of kid's drama ... to monster fights to adult drama and the homosexual/Bisexual scenes witch are strange and sometimes there is so much information that you need to re-watch the scene so you can grasp everything that was said.

And to end, the story has one of the greatest and evil villains but that's for you to judge because despite his horrible actions he may had taught it was the right thing to do but hey doesn't every villain think that. ;)

Art 6/10

The characters have almost no shades or textures they look like stickers over a background like they were made on paint, the world on the other hand is kind good especially at night with the lighting and shadows, the fight scenes look average with some low quality CG.

Sound 7/10

Sound quality was good with unsettling music, noises and sounds adding the right mood to the atmosphere, in ep 5 and 10 there was a noticeable lack of sound effects in specific places, no amazing or memorable song but overall a good ost for this for this anime.

Enjoyment/Overall 8/10

A must watch for mystery and campfire horror fans. If you don't like slow-paced with an oppressive atmosphere, this won’t be for you but if you enjoy a slow-paced mystery, Shinsekai Yori delivers it. As for me i started thinking i was going to drop it but ended up watching it all and found it enjoyable, i will re-watch it one day that's for sure.
