As a second season and direct continuation from the first season. Nanatsu no Taizai: Imashime no Fukkatsu brings one more time the great adventure in Medieval age about the knights and holy powers. The fights are great, we can see some good interventions from new characters, and the story start to get interesting about the great enemies that appeared. There are some other resemblance from other animes, and in most of fights I remembered some good old stuff from Bleach, the idea you get from the group Nanatsu no Taizai are the same as the Gotei13 and the 10 Commandments are the Hollows/Espadas (se same ... go for some charecters: for example, The Commandment of Truth, Galand, looks like the Espada number 5, Nnoitra).
The story of the respective sin is well made, and got some good details. Anybody can fall in love with them if they want.

Ok, you have some cliché parts, but all animes have similarities from others. In the shounen universe, you will have same stories and the good guys will always win and the bad guys will lose with some moral lesson in the end. So what? The viewer needs to watch the serie and do some appreciation before they start criticizing.

I would rewatch again in some time for sure.

Well, 15 seconds of a simple animation commercial is is fine, I mean, just tiny stuff not very important in my view, but when MyAnimeList adds this kind of stuff to the database, is good for the users, so that they can see the anime in other places, not only in movies/tv series. You have a universe of soundtracks and marchandise, and using it this was is cool. Hope they will continue this idea.


Sure there is a lot of commercial based on animes, but as I don't watch them so casually, I think they are a lot of fun.

I'm currently doing a Manga Reading Challenged, and I stumbled in Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan, who can be translated to a manga very psychological and kinda dark in terms of mood and spiritual state. In this few amount of pages we can be mentally touched by a lot of terms like suicide, murder, accidents, violence and rape. The story starts a little bit confusing, where you don't understand where the story fits, but as the plot starts to happen, it's easy to understand. The last chapter was hard to read, cause it brings a lot of feelings to the surface. After reading it I ... understood why is so well placed in ranking.

En Passant was a nice short manga. Simple charecters who in reality have supernatural powers and are playing a dangerous deadly game so the winner can rule over the world. In those 20 chapters we could see some good stuff, about the day-by-day of some high school students, some nice fights and a lot of laughs. The thing I liked the most is that each character is a personification of a feeling, were his/her actions are based on the mood or humor they are feeling in the moment, and this surely affect the plot as the story progresses. A simple finale, without great mind-blows, but ... still easy to read.

I started to read "Mahou Sensei Negima!" when it was already full published, so basically I downloaded all the volumes an readed and turned pages like a madman. That's my reading style.
This manga was very nice to read, even if it had a lot of ecchi stuff, i stayed for the plot, a lot of magic of all kind, new worlds and different kind of characters. The graphics where well made, and the fights bring pleasure to see.
The main character, Negima Sensei is a ten y/o magical teacher was given the mission to teach english in a girl school in Japan, where many adventures happens ... everyday. As the story goes on, the plot starts to appear, and his students turn out to be a great help to him.

Aiura is the first short anime I saw, so I didn't expected a long story with a big plot. Actually, I saw all the episodes in less than one hour. It was about the life of three high-school girls who got friends in the first day. We can see the easy way to meet someone, and talk to him/her like it was nothing. Also we checcked some little roblems that a kid can have in class, the talks about the future and the tests/pop quizes. It was very easy to watch, I liked the cute faces and expressions, very nice scenarios and good colors, didn't ... find any trouble with this type of anime. Not my favorite stuff. Acceptable.
Favorite episode: #2

Cowboy Bebop is the kind of anime that you like the minute it starts, with that marvelous soundtrack/opening. The narrative is about some adventures of a group of bounty hunters in the future in space, where they fight and laugh, live together and trust each others (in their own way), and in each episode you got something new. Yes it's something kinda "old" (1988), and there are some fans who can dislike the graphics, but in my opinion it's something very cool and I strongly suggest this one to all of members who didn't had the time or the desire to watch it.
Favorite episodes: 22 ... and 24

I started to watch Bleach some years ago, and it was the "1st" anime I seen (not counting with Pokémon, Dragon Ball, Yu-Gi-Oh and others who I watched as a kid in television).

In my opinion, Bleach got a good story, where we can see a lot of characters with different opinions, own mentality and personality, based on friendship and trust on each other, and a plot based on a battle of "good against the evil". As the story progresses, we notice that the course changes and the own opinion of the viewer can change too and shapes itself according to the appreciation of the anime ... itself.

The 1st episode was an awesome entrance to the anime, where it shows the good and the bad guys of the story, the main characters, the abilities of each other, and the type of anime it will become forward.
As the story progresses, it start to enter an enormous variety of characters, which is difficult at the start the record all of them, but as it goes on, we can relate the characters with their occupations and positions. Of course the anime cannot relate the full biography of all of that secondary personages, or it will be impossible to continue the story, but we got the essential of each one of them. With that, each viewer can get more related with one char than others, where we discover some badasses and others who are more reserved and closed.
The music and soundtracks are well played, as the state of mind of the characters, the battles, or just when some new power is discovered.
The battles are in fact one major theme in Bleach. We can see a lot of moves and understand the strength and the speed of each one of them. The graphics are very good, and there are many meanings behind each confrontation. As the episodes goes on, so the duration and force goes up as well.

There also some negative parts in Bleach. One big fail (in my opinion of course) is the fact that there is too much fillers that run parallel to the main story, and that is a mainline problem that leads to that people hate this anime (in 366 eps, about 150 are fillers? It's an enormous waste!). Or u can also explain that in factors like " financial issues ", or even "it's made for the fans". I really think that these excessive fillers spoiled a lot!
The ambiance will vary enough, which have very heavy climates, and can quickly jump to a joyful moment, comic, or even stupid moment. It appears a lot.
Another point I can add is the love/hate relationship I have with the main character. Ok, Kurosaki Ichigo goes to an almost normal student with orange hair who can see ghosts, to a baddass human who got shinigami, hollow, fullbringer and quincy powers, reached the maximum power output of any living been, like a God or something like that, and just for saving the ones who he loves (in other words, everyone he knows or has just met 2 seconds ago).
One last thing: the story develops around a gigantic battle against two or more super powers (Shinigamis, Hollows, and you can also add the Vaizards), who finishes in a almost extermination of the enemy. The "good" side finishes with 0 deaths (everyone "almost" died, one old man lost an arm, and a dude lose [temporarily] is powers). Seems legit.

At the end, I say that after all, I loved the anime. The fact that it was my 1st can influence my taste, but I still recommend it. If you can watch it without the fillers it will make it better, but you are a fan or you based on a rule that you only watch from the beginning to the end, go for it.
