So i've been trying to save all the anime i've been downloading, but...I mean come on I HAVE to watch anime. So I checked these out.
Umineko No Naku Koro Ni


ABOUT TIME!!! I mean really I was dying for another No Naku Koro Ni series. This one isn't as bloody as Higurashi, but it's a lot more interesting and I truly love every character! It's in a very similar format as Higurashi, which means there's going to be another season that actually makes sense out of it all. Until then...i'm kind of screwed. However I still highly recommend it, it's fun and exciting and with just the right amount of blood. ;D

Summer Wars


Well this was a movie that someone suggested, and normally I don't watch anime movies (they are too short for me to get into) but this was a REALLY good two hours of my life. It almost feels like it could have been a short series because it's packed with characters that you'll find to be interesting. I recommend it to all of you. It starts a little slow, but I promise it picks up fast and it's really fun.

So here's the situation, i'm moving to my new school next month (dorm rooms, get to see snow, lots of new books to read yay), but here's the major problem. Due to certain LEGAL issues the school I am going to has a network that supposedly does not allow for file sharing. For now i'm working under that assumption and trying desperately to fill my external hard drive with enough anime to basically get me through the next year. So PLEASE suggest series to me, good ones preferable. I would hate to have to stream everything...ick.

So I finally got around to Prince Of Tennis, and it took me a few weeks to get through it. I kind of wish I had seen this a little sooner when I was more irresponsible with my money, then i'd have a nice Seigaku jersey in my closet. 178 episodes long with limited filler and really amazing specials (Tenipuri Family is full of win). Each character is well thought out and amazing, it's really hard to pick a favorite (I heart Inui though), and the matches are all fun to watch. I mean like really, I think if I saw tennis on i'd actually watch it now. This is a really long and really interesting series, I highly suggest you watch it if you haven't less. I've heard it called DBZ but with tennis, however in actuality it's much better than that. Check it out!!

Honestly i've completely forgotten that this thing is for something other than anime, I usually just facebook everything else. But it is still good to have this as a reference, I still like to remember when I did stuff. So a couple weeks ago I visited new york to check out a school I had applied to, and Friday I got the call that I got in. So in a couple months i'll be moving to New York and be going to school for a few years.....i'm not sure if this will help or hurt my anime watching.

So I was on the net doing my business and I found this clip of two very sexy girls fighting so naturally I said "I have to know what this is!". My search led me to Canaan and I was actually more interested in the story than the fighting girls. It's not very long, and although interesting it's not extremely deep so you can be in and out of it without much trouble. It has some really interesting characters, I definitely recommend it.

Karin


I watched this last month and forgot until now, my bad. I know there are actually at least two or three people who count on me for accurate anime tips, so i'm making up for it. I heard the name Karin a lot, Karin this and Karin that, but I had no clue what it was. It wasn't until I finally decided to watch it that I found out. KARIN IS NOT KARIN, KARIN IS ACTUALLY KNOWN AS CHIBI VAMPIRE. Someone somewhere is an idiot because i've been hearing about Chibi Vampire for awhile and I would have seen this ages ago. So anyway, this is a lot like Rosario + Vampire only without the harem aspect and more romance with less action. Some of the characters you will remember, some you will forget pretty fast. The anime moves slowly but amuses you along the way while the romance is both on and off and never really ends up going anywhere. I liked it enough to finish, and it was definitely really cute, but overall it wasn't really that great. Watch it with leisure, and don't take it too seriously.

Elemental Gelade


This was from back when I was picking series based off their titles, and I needed an E. I had never heard of this, and i'll probably forget it pretty quick which is a shame because it has some really good points. It's an interesting romance/action/comedy that has some very interesting twists and concepts, but never really delves into them properly. The character work in this series was done extremely well however, as even minor characters are both interesting and memorable. I kept hoping to see the two main characters develop more, but they remain for the most part consistent. It does come to a nice ending with all the loose ends tied up, and that's always nice.

Bokurano


Want to hear something interesting? The hero in Elemental Gelade does the voice for the villain in Bokurano and I watched them back to back. It made things really interesting!! Now this is pretty much a must watch in my book. It probably isn't a series that won't be remembered in three or four years, which is why I suggest checking it out now. I don't want to give too much away about the plot, because I expect any of who who haven't seen it to go watch it now, but it has some fun twists and mecha battles alongside some deep emotional story lines. You're not going to be bored if you watch this.

Flame Of Recca


Yu Yu Hakusho.







Oh wait, was that not enough for you? Ok um....Yu Yu Hakusho, BUT WITH FIRE.

Chaos Head


Continuing the ABC theme I watched Chaos Head, I had heard some things about it so I figured I might as well check it out. The character design and artwork for this series is really spot on, however the confusing plot and poor writing really ruin this series. I can't say I hated it or anything, however I wouldn't recommend watching it.

Dennou Coil


After C comes D, and I had heard this name tossed around a few times so I looked it up. This was something completely original and I really needed that. The artwork is really lovely, and although I thought Kyoko was too annoying of a little sister at first, overall each character even down to the background ones are very interesting. They never really took the five minutes to fully explain the concept, which would have helped, but still in general I knew what was going on and I enjoyed it. I would definitely check it out.

Gantz

So E and F were still downloading so I skipped ahead to G. I have heard a lot about Gantz for a long time so it was my first choice. However, I hated it. The plot was random, most of the characters were disgusting, it was gruesome for no reason, and it never came to a point. I really wish I could unwatch this series somehow. I can see why it's popular, you get to see some really hot girls having sex. So anyone around 16 or younger probably loved it. I will admit that the artwork is excellent....not so much the guys, but they really took their time designing the girls.

This was a series I started downloading before my anime went dry, and finally it finished and I was able to watch this. So I can sum up my thoughts on Kanokon in basically one sentence:


This is basically porn, isn't it?

Normally my least favorite type of series is one that is so overly dirty that you can't enjoy the story. But this one...I have to say, this one I loved every second of it. I mean it was...SOOOOOO filthy that I mean....I'm sorry, I have to be true to myself and say that topless fox girls make one hell of an awesome anime.

Bravo! This was a really good action/comedy series, I completely enjoyed it from start to finish. The main character is one of those memorable "nothing is impossible" kind of guys, where no matter how many times he's beaten down he'll always get back up and achieve his goal. There's some light romance, some really funny parts, and a lot of good characters and fun to watch fights. Also there are a lot of different Busou Renkin that are personal to each character, so it's kind of like Bleach in that respect (hey, Bleach has it's good points). I had a lot of fun seeing the different abilities everyone had.


....BRAVO!

Due to several misfortunes with the next group of anime's I was going to watch (one only had german subs, two others really just sucked and I had to quit early, etc) I suddenly had NO ANIME AT ALL TO WATCH!! It's been driving me crazy, so if anyone has any good anime suggestions please, PLEASE comment and I will watch anything (although make sure it's good). So without having anything to go on I decided to just start watching anime randomly and see what lands. So I flipped through a list of anime and picked a random title that started with A. Luckily I chose Airmaster.

Airmaster is very good, I haven't been this surprised since Hunter x Hunter (not that it's THAT good). When I first chose the title the first thing I thought of was Air Gear, and you know what, they're actually kind of similar. Airmaster is about a beautiful young girl (who I am in LOVE with) who is an amazing street fighter, and you watch her battle on and become stronger. You'll enjoy seeing her kick the ass of dozens of interesting characters, some of which are extremely memorable (I will always remember you, Luchamaster!). However she does have a cast of friends who are completely annoying. If you watch it and don't want to shoot Renge in the face with a shot gun then you are a better person than me, because I want that little girl to get hit by a car. Overall, Airmaster is action packed and interesting. Watch it.

Now...time to watch something that starts with B.....

Mushishi



Simply put it's an emotional roller coaster. A collection of beautifully told tales of magical creatures that range from the creepy, the romantic, to the wildly depressing. People live happily, die horribly, or are just left confused by everything. The various characters tend to blend together, our white haired Ginko surely stands out in your mind when you think back on it. The artwork for this series was amazing, I honestly thought it was much more recent considering the level of digital imagery and 3D effects that blend seamlessly together. I wouldn't say that as a whole it will grab you, but it is a collection of individual stories that you will find to be extremely interesting. There's no real beginning, there's no real end, but you'll be happy you watched this series.

Baccano


This series hits you like BAM, WTF, WAAAAH in a real confusing kind of way. Apparently they took a page out of Haruhi's book and decided that a linear story line is just too dull. So for the first few episodes I must say I had no freaking clue what was going on. However I kept watching through it and eventually you begin to understand everything that's going on. The main plot is simple although it involves a lot of complicated subplots, all of which are interesting. The character design for this series is amazing, you are going to be remembering each and every one for a long time. By the end of the series you'll understand everything that happened, why it happened, etc etc. And trust me, it's a really fun ride to get there.

Michiko to Hatchin


....hated it. Sorry, I just didn't like it. I couldn't even get through half of the series. I don't like the characters, the plot isn't that interesting to me, and there are so many horrible people in this series that I just hope they all blow up. After awhile I evene stopped liking the main characters, since it just seems like they just get pushed around and never really accomplish anything. There's a lot of action, i'm sure some people like it. But I just couldn't stand it.

I took a break to get caught up with the last 100 episodes of Detective Conan. It is absolutely one of my favorite anime series of all time and again I urge people to watch it if they are not. Over 500 episodes and every single one is amazingly interesting. There's always a case to solve and a criminal to catch, even the more mundane episodes usually find a way to become entertaining (in other words any episode that involves the detective kids). I also watched all the movies so now i'm fully caught up. I'm not nearly satisfied, I could easily watch another thousand episodes of this series.

Kyouran Kazoku Nikki



Random enough to be hilarious but coherent enough to be compelling. At first glance it may look like a series you'd want to skip, but think again. This cast of randomly put together characters in actuality has some real depth as long as you keep watching. You will find that a plot as a whole won't really have anything, and the individual plots in essence don't make any sense. And yet with the tone of the show you will still somehow find them to be interesting. And of course the real highlight are the characters themselves, which you will find yourself thinking about for a long time.  Watch it, and if you can get through the first few episodes then you're going to love the rest of it. Much love for Kyouka-sama. <3

Hunter x Hunter



SO

DAMN

GOOD!!!!!!
We're not even going to talk about it. Go watch it and I promise you will love every minute.

So essentially i've been busy, but i've started with my all night anime marathon's once more and it's kind of hard to stop. So here's some thoughts on what i'm watching that's new.

Haruhi S2

.....we don't really have to talk about this one now do we? I'm watching it, you're watching it, I don't think i'd be aquainted with someone who isn't watching it. So let's leave it at that because we all know it's amazing already.

K-ON

Now I had been hearing this title be thrown around for a few weeks now and when I heard it had just ended naturally I pounced so I could view the series in one sitting. The short version is to think Lucky Star only with an actual plot that has to do with music. The long version is a cast of memorable characters trying to make it to the top with their Light Music Club, only to be usually sidetracked with tea and cake. While I am particular to Mugi-chan the most interesting person in this series is easily the lead Yui-chan. Her strange attitude and cute personality blend surprisingly well with her unexplainable ability to play the guitar with little practice and no knowledge. I definitely suggest it as a must see, even if you just want to see a cute little girl in cat ears going Nyan Nyan.

Eden Of The East

I don't really know why I started watching this. Like K-ON it was just completed and I always enjoy starting a series that has a clear ending so I can just sit down and watch it without having to be left wondering what's going to happen next. The first several seconds were slow....I didn't like that. Then Takizawa shows up naked and pretty much everything that happens after that is interesting in some way. I wouldn't consider it funny, or serious, or dark. However there are definitely elements of each throughout the series. When you see 20,000 animated naked japanese guys running around a shopping mall it's going to be hard not to laugh, and when you watch a main character about to be horribly murdered in a way...no man should ever die....then you'll definitely feel a chill. Unfortunately while much is answered in the final episode it still feels a bit lacking, but I hear they''ll be releasing some movies within the next two years so hopefully those will wrap everything up.

I'm still watching some other series, and would love some suggestions. I'll be posting more reviews until I get too busy again.

So finally getting through this series when I realized I don't have to wait to finish this to post about it. It's Gundam, you should already know to go watch it. In fact you should have seen it years ago.

Well this movie was just a recap of the first half of the series!!! I wasn't expecting that, I hadn't really read anything about it. But it's obvious fast that the ONLY thing you'll be seeing is everything from the series with NO new original content. So to make a long story short...


.....it....was...AMAZING!!!!

This is looking really promising. If you like vampire knight, d.gray-man, or anything of the sort with a dark but funny atmosphere then check this out.
