Pandora Hearts

Anime: Pandora Hearts
Type: Fantasy, Adventure, Action
Episodes: 1 - 25
My Rating: 9.5 out of 10
My Grade: A

After to listening to the Official Soundtrack of this anime, I got interested and started watching it. It turned out to be as good as its BGMs. ^-^

The beginning of the whole series is a bit slow to go through, but it manages to properly introduces you to the storyline ahead. As you progress through the series, the story slowly is pieced together for you. Besides the amazing storyline and hilarious comic relief scenes, they offer a very bright and colorful cast of characters that are well-made and are quite unique. You will enjoy how the story progresses. You will be kept in suspense by the countless cliffhangers placed throughout the series. You will grow very fond of the charcaters. This is a really good anime, highly recommended.

Basic Story:
Oz Bezarius slowly approaches his coming-of-age ceremony, but runs across a mysterious pocket watch that plays a strange tune. During his ceremony, he is suddenly attacked by robed figures, but he is saved by the mysterious Blood Stained Black Rabbit and is dragged down into the depths of the Abyss. During his journey, he will unlock the secrets of the Abyss and what lies in there and also discover the truth of the tragedy that happened 100 years ago.

Yoku Wakaru Gandai Mahou

Anime: Yoku Wakaru Gandai Mahou
Type: Fantasy, Action, Comedy
Episodes: 1 - 12 + OVA Special
My Rating: 9 out of 10
My Grade: A-

This is one of the new anime series that I checked out over the summer break. It was a short yet very enjoyable series. Let's go to the review! ^-^

It starts out with a nice little look ahead into the series. Even though they went ahead a bit from the actual beginning of the anime series at the start, they did really well to keep you in suspense and does not give out to much info that might spoil some things coming up in the anime series itself. After the 1st episode, they jump into the actual beginning of the storyline and progresses pretty quickly from there. They manage to put a pretty good storyline into such a short package. Throughout the storyline, they manage to stick in pieces of info that you need to understand what goes on in the anime and also throw in a few comic relief into the mix. Overall, it's a really awesome anime to watch and is pretty short.

Basic Story:

Koyomi is an average high school girl who is a bit care-free. She runs across an old advertisement for an old magic academy, the Anehara Cross Magic Academy. She hopes to able to change herself for the better. She soon discovers her amazing ability to summon wash pans and also the ability to dispel magic. She meets with Anehara Misa, the greatest Modern-Day Mage. She also meets, Yumiko Ichinose, one of the strongest mages in the world. What will she find out about these two great magicians? Will she be able to harness the power of magic?

Forbidden Love

Most anime romances series in their originals forms were either a light novel or an H- Game*. There is some sexual themes that can be sometimes throughout the series, whether it be for comedy or to strengthen the storyline. Now, of course there have been things cut out before they started airing it on TV. (Some people might not know this: Japan is probably the strictest country when it comes to censoring.)

One thing you often come across in these romance storylines is a possibility of the main character to make the decision of forbidden love. The character often associated with this is usually the main character's cousin, half-sibling, or maybe even blood-related sibling. Now, since this is fiction, it does not trouble me that much that there is that possibility. (It usually does not end up that way in the anime anyways.)

I have to say after seeing an actual anime series that actually ended with the main character choosing the sibling over the others. I did not find it that bad, probably because his sister played a big role in the series. The main character obviously can have such a relationship in the story. But I take it as that love can sometimes go beyond the lines of being siblings. If I actually saw it it real life, I would probably freak out.(Note: I will not name the anime that I watched here, for the sake of not spoiling it.) I like the thought of forbidden love a bit. To me it's the unexpected but yet expected.

*H-Game: Hentai Game, adult anime sim-dating games, known for it's well drawn characters and backgrounds and also for its explicit sex scenes. In these games the main character (played by you) goes through the storyline while making decisions that affect the whole game and also the result you end up with.

Doujin Work

Anime: Doujin Work
Type: Comedy, Ecchi
Episodes: 1 - 12 (15 minutes each)
My Rating: 9 out of 10
My Grade: A-

Well, I was at the book store the other day. While looking through the manga section, I found the manga for the series, Doujin Work, and it also came with a DVD with the firat few episodes on it. I got interested in the storyline and watched it. It was a very entertaining series. A nice series to watch once in a while, short and sweet.

Not really much to say about the anime. It starts out really well with a nice ecchi joke which might make you turn very red in the face or laugh your pants off. The storyline goes on smoothly despite the short episode times. The titles of each episode are really funny to read too. This series could be used as some kind of thing to see who has a dirty mind or not. Despite the title, you won't really be seeing any doujin face-front in the series itself, but you do get a few glimpses at some of the concepts of them. Anyways, really good series to watch if you want a really good laugh.

Basic Story:
Najimi is invited by her classmate, Tsuyuri, to a Doujin Convention. At the convention najimi experiences a culture shock about doujin and anime. She is then influenced by her childhood friend and famous doujin author, Justice, (and money) to take on the doujin business. She proclaims that she will prevail in the path of doujin. But she is not very good at drawing (she actually sucks...). Despite the disadvantage she has, she is determined to make success. On that path she will meet both fans and rivals. Will she be able to make it through?

Note: Doujin means fan-made anime and manga. These have been known to be mostly perverted and are only suited for those 18+. (The themes are mostly porn.)

Don't worry! The series can be watched by those 16+. (^-^)
