How to begin this review!!! xD

Well, when I started reading Kanojo wa Kannou Shousetsuka I just couldn't find the stop button because I just wanted to know what was going to happen next! The story doesn't really boast a main plot like most story out there but what really got me hooked with the manga was the romance. The author kept it straight to the point and didn't rushed things when it came to the romantic development between our main characters but he did rushed the ending though according to me! But still it was really an enjoyable manga to read and I would love ... to seem such kind of romance again in the future.

Well, it's pretty rare to find a manga or even anime where the main romance is between an Older Female and a Younger male character. We do have anime like Onegai Teacher which I really loved but it was way too simple to my taste and then maybe the popular Manhwa by Lim Dal Young (Unbalance X Unbalance) which was awesome. But Kanojo wa Kannou Shousetsuka is pretty similar to Koimoku written by Lim Dal Young when it comes to the general plot involving an author and an editor.

Story: 8/10

Well like I previously said, the story doesn't really have a main plot to focus on! It's main strength lies within the cute romance between the main characters regardless of their age differences. The romance however is not really apparent when you start reading but gradually it starts to bloom at a pretty good pace.

Art: 9/10

Well, I've seen better art when it comes to this genre but this doesn't mean that this one sucks! Somehow the art gave me the impression of a perfect combination between Shounen art style with Shojou art style. Moreover their physiology were well designed.

Character: 7/10

Visually the characters are pretty good and I personally liked the female characters very much! They were cute, sexy, and beautiful.

In terms of personal characteristics, there's nothing much to boast about. The Main Female Protagonist is a workaholic while the Main Male Protagonist is a pure innocent virgin who keeps getting nose bleeds when he's overexcited! xD


Conclusion:

Well, whether you're a fan of romance between older female and younger male or not, or fan of ecchi manga or not... it doesn't matter, Kanojo wa Kannou Shousetsuka is a pretty good manga that deserves attention of many.

DearS has got to be one of these anime that was so close to go into my drop list though I haven't dropped any anime I've been watching so far. (Well, no matter how bad or boring an anime might be, I will watch it entirely... well that's my policy).


If I remember, it was after watching "Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?" that I started watching DearS because I was totally in a Harem mood but it was such a let-down that I had to encourage myself to watch each episode. The reason why I didn't enjoy DearS are as follows:

Art:

I’m perfectly aware that the ... anime is pretty old but if I were to compare it with older anime such as “Maison Ikkoku” or “Sailor Moon” which are even older there is a huge difference. The art for DearS is undeniably the worst one compared to these two. The bodies of both male and female characters in the anime are disproportionate. The female characters could have been cuter or simply beautiful if more efforts would have been poured while making the anime but unfortunately.

Character:

The male protagonist was one of the reasons why I was about to make DearS the first anime to get in my drop list. Sometimes I like Harem where the guy is weak but still tries his best to get stronger and take care for his chicks (e.g Aikawa Ayumu from Kore was Zombie Desu ka) and sometimes I like these Harem where the guy is strong and is dominant (straight forward that is e.g Issei Hyoudo from High School DxD) but in the case of DearS the male protagonist is none. He is just an indecisive guy who and stays as such as the series progresses with no character development at all… He is totally lame and has absolutely nothing that would make you want to root for him.
As the series progresses, there are other side characters who are introduced for no apparent reasons. They seems to be just there just to make some episodes reach the target of 19 minutes and they really get on your nerves.

Story/Plot:

The story seems to be just a raw idea that was badly exploited. A Harem featuring an alien female ready to do whatever her earthling master desires had so much potential to be funny and even enjoyable but you don’t get to see all of these in DearS. In fact, you don’t get to see anything of what you’d expect from a Harem anime in DearS. There are no cute moments and the awkward moments are not really so awkward at all. Moreover there are a lot of episodes where a lot of things that were mentioned were left unexplained… somehow things feels too rushed and you really understand what's happening.

Conclusion:

I’m not saying that DearS is the worst anime ever but it is certainly not an enjoyable one and Harem Lovers especially will feel disappointed. But still you could still give DearS a try but without getting hyped up and not setting your expectations too high.

Peace out...

My review of Tokyo Ghoul √A is simple and direct without any spoilers!

Just completed second season and I have to admit that I truly enjoyed the anime! I must also say about how I'm baffled by the overall score on MAL and the negative reviews of many.

I admit that I didn't read the manga but I plan to read it so that I can in turn read Tokyo Ghoul: Re because I want to know what happen next after the time skip!

I know that the anime didn't follow the manga story but was still given an alternate plot written by the author of the ... manga Sui Ishida himself.
I'm perfectly aware that the manga boasts more badass scenes, moments and the story itself is better than the anime (after all Original is always better). However, despite this I really believe that the anime is actually really good as compared from other anime which totally deviated from their manga counter part and messed up everything. So, yeah I think that Tokyo Ghoul √A really deserves credit and applause here because it's a well done job.

I hope that they make an anime adaptation of Tokyo Ghoul Re and basing myself from the way it ended with Touka I think it might be a hint!

Well, that's what I have to say and I would just advice those who intend to watch Tokyo Ghoul √A to watch it without high expectations and not to judge it by the negative reviews of others cause you might end up missing something great!

Cheers.... Peace out! ;)

Game Over consist of 8 Chapters where the first 3 of them are totally different stories which are basically One Shot and the 5 other Chapters are of the same story.

This review is only about the 5 Chapters of the same story.

Well, romance Manga between an older female protagonist and a young male protagonist are so rare to find and if ever you find one then most of the time it never has a happy ending.
Game Over by Mizutani Fuuka is one of the best manga of this genre I've read and the manga has the cutest happy ending which really made me genuinely ... smile.

Well due to the fact that the manga is pretty short I won't be giving any detailed summary about it else I'll end up wrapping the entire story for you.
So, briefly, Game Over is about a career woman who is around her late 20's falling in love with a young high school boy. The story is simple and super light without any drama and is straight to the point. The 5 chapters are "Time Skipping" like i.e, whatever started on the first page of one chapter ends on its last page and then after a long time the second chapter picks up with a new scene.

Seriously speaking, I've truly enjoyed the plot but I would have wanted it to be longer with more details and also more romantic development between the cute couple.
I believe that the manga had a lot of potential becoming one of the most popular and unique if its chapters were extended with more romantic elements and other major and minor details.

I would love to see an anime adaptation of this manga with more scenes included.

Well, Game Over is an amazing manga that is worth your attention! So, give it a try! ;)

Cheers....

This manga got me so hooked that I can't stop reading one chapter after the other. Now, those reading my review would probably think that it's because of the "Ecchi" and "Harem" elements highly present in it but putting these aside Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou is really good manga if not one of the best ever.

Certainly while reading the manga you will get a sense of deja vu since the "Harem" part is almost as the same as the others except that our main character isn't a pervert and is pretty much a good person at heart who wouldn't hesitate to put his ... life at stake to protect others. The female characters however are pretty straight forward with it comes to sex and other explicit stuffs. All of them try their best to compete against each other as rivals in order to gain the affection of our male protagonist.

However, what I personally found really refreshing is that the females in the story are non-human species who are mainly based on creatures of various mythologies. Somehow it changes the "Harem" atmosphere a little bit and showing off its infamous side about compassion and equal treatment. Yet they aren't humans, the female characters are really well designed and each of them have a special trait that makes them unique. Some are genuinely cute, some are beautiful and some are... well... "original". They all have there own uniqueness that really makes them stand out and will surely give you a spoil of choice to determine which one is actually the better than the other to be your favourite character.

The plot of the manga isn't complicated at all featuring lots of comedy and gags which are genuinely funny. There are also a lot of cute and awkward moments. Well pretty much what you'd expect from the usual Harem Manga but do trust me that when you'll read it you won't find the stop button.

Obviously you'll find adequate amount of nude scenes with lots of "boobies" which are often accompanied by explicit languages which makes them intense and arousing. However, the mangaka has effectively made use of "nudity" when deemed necessary and not entirely for fan servicing.

"Harem" and "Ecchi" or not, Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou is a really refreshing and interesting manga which really deserves the attention of many. As previously mentioned it is not the very best but it's certainly a very good one with a lot of elements effectively used as the story proceeds.

I would really love to see an anime adaptation of the manga soon! :)

Cheers... Keep calm and give Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou a try! ;)

One word for this OVA------> WOW!

The story isn't the best ever but I must say that I really enjoyed it. It's simple, comedic and straight forward involving a good romance without beating too much around the bush. The end however is sad but not all romance stories have a happy ending BUT I would really love to see a sequel to the OVA or even better, a Season 3 of Date a Live. Whether or not you're a Kurumi fan it doesn't matter because the OVA is well made and enjoyable.

I heard that there have been improvements when it comes to the art of this ... OVA but I’ve barely noticed it. Well this is probably because I’ve always thought that the art for Date a Live for both Season one and two including the first OVA was really good.

As for character, I guess we got the opportunity to see the innocent and cute side of Tokisaki Kurumi which I would love to see once again.

As for the sound, they are the same one used as in the previous seasons which are still kickass.

Generally speaking, it’s an amazing OVA without any exaggerations which really lives up to its original series. I bet a lot of you would really want a third season so bad and soon after watching it.

Enjoy! ;)

This is a SPOILER FREE review!

Well... I have personally enjoyed Madan no Ou to Vanadis from episode 1-13 which I was not really expecting at all and looking back at the overall score on MAL I must say that the anime is pretty UNDERRATED.

The "Ecchi" and "Harem" tags of the anime is pretty misleading causing a lot of people to believe that the story is comedic and just like the same conventional one involving one male protagonist who does stupid stuffs that easily cause a lot of girls to go crazy about him and that there must be also a lot of nudity. I ... believe that a lot of people have watched this series with high fan service expectations but ended up being disappointed thus giving the anime a very low score. So, if you plan to watch this anime with a "fan service" mindset then this show is definitely not for you.

Madan no Ou to Vanadis is certainly a harem anime but it barely focus on this particular element. It has a good plot which could have been even better if there were more material to make it beyond 13 episodes. The story occurs in some sort of medieval period which consist about several armies battling against each other for land and wealth. There are barely any comedy or awkward moments but it is more focused on strategies which are well explained that makes it easier to understand what's happening and what next and obviously action focused with some blood shot.

The story has a lot of strong characters which will surely give you a spoil of choice to chose only one as your favourite. (Mine however is Ludmila Lourie. Cute, beautiful and with a very strong character)

The animation is pretty amazing with great character designs and surrounding environments in high frame rates but I've seen better than that.

The music in the anime are not so medieval but they are REALLY AMAZING and do fit a lot of scenes that makes them really intense.

As said previously, I've really enjoyed this anime and I would really want it to have a second season. So, if you have the intention to watch this anime, I would refrain a lot of you not to judge it by the reviews rating this show with a low score. In fact, just don't read them and watch it and do your own conclusion.

Hey guys! Well, I'm writing this review after watching 20 episodes only so far and I will change it as I continue watching the upcoming episodes.

Since I'm currently in a mood of watching romantic anime I decided to watch Maison Ikkoku and after reading the top reviews and seeing the good rating which is above 8 on MAL I didn't hold myself back. However I've been very disappointed with the way that the story proceeds and clearly believe that the show is very overrated after watching only 20 episodes but this might change after I watch it completely.
I know that a lot of ... people will disagree with me but still this is just my point of view.

This is not entirely a SPOILER free review and is mainly focused on the plot of the anime.

First thing is the number of episodes and considering the ratings and reviews it can be pretty misleading in a way. A total of 96 episodes and I've watched only 20 so far in which there are just TOO MANY beating around the bush. I'm pretty worried about the upcoming episodes of which I'm not really expecting too much though. The author or director of the anime have overly used "COINCIDENCE" in the plot which at first is fine but later on becomes really boring.

Secondly are the other main characters who are the tenants at Ikkoku excluding Godai the main male protagonist of the series are just too annoying and really gets on your nerves easily and yet alone not supportive at all. Well, I understand they are just there to stir up and spice things a little bit which is supposed to turn into something comedic but it's not entirely that. They tend to butt in Godai's whatsoever problem and makes things difficult for him to move forward in order to do what he has to do. At first it's okay but as the story proceeds it really becomes annoying.

Thirdly the base of the story isn't really so different from the conventional Shoujo high school romance manga or anime. It's always the same general plot which involves the main male protagonist falling in love with the female protagonist and in turn gets a rival to compete with him. There are some awkward moments involving the female lead which makes the male lead thinking that she likes the other one and bla bla bla bla... Somehow it's so predictable of what's going to happen next which really reduces the charm of the story itself. Somehow I was expecting something new in it's romance since Maison Ikkoku isn't a high school themed anime and manga or perhaps I was expecting too much which could be why I was disappointed generally.

Fourth there is barely any cute moment between the male and female protagonists (Kyoko). Of course it's not easy for the female since she's a widow and is a bit indecisive about a new relationship but when she starts developing feelings for the male lead, it looks as if it's natural for her to love him just because the author decided it or simply because they are the protagonist.
Furthermore, the female protagonist really has a bad character for keeping two man at hand and not being able to differentiate between someone who's flirting with her and the one who truly loves her and I find it really disgusting.
Kyoko dating the one who flirts with her is fine but Godai dating a girl is wrong! It's as if she keeping some sort of assurance if ever she loses one of them.

Well I've still a lot to write but I'll keep it until I've watched the whole series which I hope will change my point of view about the series as a whole.

[This is NOT a SPOILER free review]

Personally I really enjoyed the anime although I didn't quiet like the ending because it wasn't the way I expected it to be or simply it wasn't the way I wanted it to be.


Generally speaking the anime consist of 12 episodes which really resembles the anime "Onegai Teacher" a lot but are still different. However, I've enjoyed "Onegai Teacher" more than Ano Natsu de Matteru though.

Common between these two anime:

1) Both female protagonists are from space whose spaceship ended up in a lake.
...
2) They both have a biological creature like which is supposed to be the program of their spaceship which allows them to control it and also teleport themselves or other people as well to the place they want.

3) Both female protagonists are older than the main male protagonists.

4) In both anime the male protagonist falls in love with the alien female protagonists with whom they start living with and have a female classmate who is in love with them as well who tries to get their affection.

Now let's get back to Ano Natsu de Matteru.

The story isn't complex at all despite being classified as a "Sci Fi" genre although there are terms they use which probably are just words without any real meaning probably.

The romance is the typical high school one which can be found in many Shojo manga/anime and sometimes in shonen as well, where the female protagonist has a rival competing for the male protagonist. However, the romance escalates pretty fast between the destined one and there's less biting around the bush. Of course they didn't miss the hurdles and ordeals that one must face when falling in love.

It is pretty comedic but I've seen better romantic comedies that really made me laughed so hard.

There are very few actions as well but nothing to be impressed with however.

The music are not bad but "Onegai Teacher" had amazing OST's by comparison, especially with KOTOKO's Shooting Star OP but the ending of Ano Natsu de Matteru is pretty good.

The art is pretty well done with some amazing backgrounds and as for the characters they are pretty good if not the best.

To conclude, Ano Natsu de Matteru is practically a romance anime with Sci fi, action and comedy as the supporting elements but it's still enjoyable and worth watching. Well, I might not have given a detailed review about the anime but I would still refrain a lot of you from judging the anime by the ratings and reviews of other users and watch it for yourself!

Well, I have yet to read the manga but I watched the anime and impatiently waiting for the movie! The first part of the anime which actually follows the story plot of the manga was very good however once the anime deviated completely from the manga was really ridiculous! Especially the part where Yuri sympathises with Satan offering her body as a vessel and in the end having his baby (That part was really ridiculous).
