Synopsis

.

.

15-year-old Kurosaki Ichigo is not your everyday high school student. He has from as far he can remember always had the ability to see ghosts and spirits. A fateful day arrives as Ichigo encounters the shinigami Kuchiki Rukia, who saves him and his family from a Hollow at the cost of injuring herself. During this encounter, with Rukia unable to defeat the hollow she transfers her shinigami powers into Ichigo. In the aftermath, unable to continue with her job, Rukia allows Ichigo to take on the role of a shinigami in her place as they together defeat the Hollows plaguing Ichigo's town.

Ichigo and his important friends!!!

My review!!!

The Anime this week is one was so addictive I have watched well past the normal 5 episodes... To be honest I am on episode 80 right now!  Here is a link to watch it on Crunchyroll...

Crunchyroll: Bleach

Soooooo much more than what is in the description happens in the show... There are 15 seasons of this anime!!!! If you are looking for one that you won't have to stop watching for a while I have to say this is it! There are others out there but right now we are talking about Bleach sooo they have to wait their turn for a review!

lets mean the people in the picture above shall we...

He is so much more than  he seems in the beginning!!! All I can say is wow to his loyalty to his friends!!!! I wish I new people like that in real life!!!

Next is...

Rukia you look so much better here... A gigai doesn't suit you!

The next person is a little confusing if you don't pay attention to the flashbacks...

This is sado... But Ichigo refuses to call him that... To Ichigo this is Chad!

Second to last in my list though it does not represent her importance is...

She is special too... Though this picture doesn't show it she has quite a unique ability!!!

And lastly... I will introduce our resident Quincy!

He is literally the last Quincy as far as all the episodes I have seen show... In actuality unless his father is dead he is the last practicing one but not the last one... He had to get the Quincy blood from one of his parents and I am going to assume it is his dad because his grandfather mentions things that support that theory.

And  here it is peoples.... Now is the time to rate it

On a scale of 1 to 10 with ten being a "perfect-must-read" rating I give this...

8

It's not that I don't think this one should get a high mark or that it isn't a must watch... Because lets face it... An 8 is a really good mark in itself and if I am still watching after 80 episodes then I definitely feel it is a must watch. I don't know how it will end though and there are soooo many things I saw happen that made me sad... If you want one that can both thrill you and pull on your heart then this one works really good!

Anyhow... If you want to know what kind of crazy adventures these kids get into then you really need to watch the show!!!!

Hope you enjoyed the review!!!

As always... Thanx for reading!

Have a great day!!!

Something new... Sort of...

OK so we all know I sometimes do "Filler" posts... I was thinking that I have not been writing the best posts lately because I have been sick or had major migraines... Or any of the other reasons that I've had.... So I thought it would be good to write a few filler posts in advance while I was feeling good... No this is not one of them.

Here are some possible topics...

Games I'm playing

Games I've played in the past

Movies I have taken an interest in

Cultural things (Any I find interesting)

Matters of the heart

Poetry

Photography

Yes there are a lot of them lol.... There will probably be others too but these are all that have come to mind right now! I just figure it is better to have a reserve of ideas than to throw something together that is halfhearted at best.

Because I am guilty of doing just that I want to say I'm sorry! I will try to do better in the future!

Going to stop here for today... 

As always... Thanx for reading and for understanding!!!

Have a great day!!!

Junjou Romantica

.

Manga

.

Synopsis

.

.

The series Junjou Romantica series actually contain 3 main stories within them, which are loosely interconnected, with different couples as the main characters.

Junjou Romantica

Misaki, struggling to pass his college entrance exams, is in need of a tutor to help pump up his failing grades. Unfortunately, his only option is the cool and sexy Akihiko Usami. Usami happens to be a famous boys' love novelist, which doesn't exactly float Misaki's boat, especially since his main characters are "Akihiko" and "Takahiro," the name of Misaki's older brother and Usami's childhood friend. Understandably, Misaki is pretty disgusted by the thought of someone using his older brother as his personal fantasy-material, but then after some tender loving from Usami, Misaki is also pretty confused. He may even be developing feelings for the older man...And when Takahiro introduces them to his lovely (female) fiancée, so begins the bumpy relationship of this odd couple, filled with comedy and pure romance. (Source: BLU manga)

Junjou Egoist

Kamijou Hiroki is a broken man, consumed by unrequited love for his childhood friend, Usami Akihiko (the writer character in Junjou Romantica). Along comes Kusama Nowaki, whose name "Nowaki" means "typhoon", an orphan working his way through life since middle school. Like the typhoon he is named for, he whirls into Hiroki's life and heart, blowing all resistance away before him.

Junjou Terrorist

As fate would have it, Professor Miyagi Yoh (whom Hiroki is working with as assistant professor), and Takatsuki Shinobu, a high school student, cross paths. Miyagi, when in high school, loved (and still cannot forget) a female teacher who had a terminal illness, is now faced with Shinobu, who just says whatever is on his mind. The wheel of destiny is beginning to turn once again...

Has another short story called Junjou Minimum in vol. 4, which in turn has a separate volume of its own.

Now for my review!!!

The Manga this week was really good! I didn't read my usual 5 chapters because I am still pretty sick. (Being sick take such a huge toll on me and I take forever to get better!!!)  I did make it through 4 chapters though so it's ok. I got to see the introduction of the second main story too... Junjou Egoist! I also got to see for myself that they are connected! 

I have read that this manga was adapted into an Anime so I was watching the anime at the same time which is the other reason I didn't make it through the usual 5 chapters. I have to say this is one of the only adaptions I have seen that basically sticks with the story-line perfectly! Obviously there were a few things in the manga that were not expressed so well in the anime but other than that it was pretty accurate! Lets meet our couples shall we???

Yup that's all three of them... Let me separate them and tell you who they are..

First we shall meet Misaki and Usami...

Usami holding Misaki... Don't they look so cute!!!

Next we shall meet Hiroki and Nowaki...

Whoa... That's a bit steamy... We'll be back in a few for introductions.. You two finish up *wink*

While we wait lets meet the last couple... Here are Shinobu and Miyagi...

So sweet... Shinobu, sensei noticed you!!!

I'm sure you have guessed by that comment that Shinobu is the one who is shorter. Way to go Miyagi he is a cutie!!!

Now lets see if our other couple have finished turning the camera lens into a fog shop...

Awwww Nowaki you are too cute... but really... let Hiroki read! it might be for work after all!

Now that you have met the couples you can see how adorable they are!!! SOOOOOO... lets us move on to the next part of the review!

Time to rate it

On a scale of 1 to 10 with ten being a "perfect-must-read" rating I give this...

Synopsis

.

.

In 1972, a popular student in Yomiyama North Middle School’s class 3-3 named Misaki passed away during the school year. Since then, the town of Yomiyama has been shrouded by a fearful atmosphere, from the dark secrets hidden deep within.

Twenty-six years later, fifteen-year-old Koichi Sakakibara transfers into class 3-3 of Yomiyama North and soon after discovers that a strange, gloomy mood seems to hang over all the students. He also finds himself drawn to the mysterious, eyepatch-wearing student Mei Misaki; however, the rest of the class and the teachers seem to treat her like she doesn't exist. Paying no heed to warnings from everyone including Mei herself, Koichi begins to get closer not only to her, but also to the truth behind the gruesome phenomenon plaguing class 3-3 of Yomiyama North.

Based on Yukito Ayatsuji's popular supernatural mystery/thriller novel, Another follows Koichi, Mei, and their classmates as they are pulled into the enigma surrounding a series of inevitable, tragic events—but unraveling the horror of Yomiyama may just cost them the ultimate price

The two main characters

My review!!!

The Anime this week is one unlike what I normally watch... it was not a bad one though! Here is a link to watch it on Crunchyroll...

Crunchyroll: Another

This Anime is definitely not for those who watch an Anime or movie and feel any pain the characters are going through... There is a LOT of death in this and it doesn't spare you the details. We have a class that is cursed and a transfer student with no idea what the rules are... He brakes the rules without knowing it but it was already too late... The curse was already in motion.

All that was left was to figure out...

That's right... Someone who is in the class is dead... But who???

I won't tell you how many die while trying to solve this and send the dead back to the grave. But I will tell you that if you like mysteries then this is an Anime for you!

It's definitely a must watch!!! You learn something here too.... Don't take Life or Death too lightly... You never know how long you get here even after you have died!

One thing is for certain... This is no just "Another" Anime!

I never would have thought to review this Anime if it wasn't for a reader messaging me the tittle.. Let me know if you have another one you would want me to review!!!

As always... Thanx for reading my posts!!!

Have an amazing day!!!

Demon Diary

.

Manga

(manhwa)

.

Synopsis

.

.

Gods and demons wage a neverending battle with the mortal realm as their battlefield. As with most longstanding feuds, the reasons are no longer important--hatred is a way of life. But it is foretold that one would arise who could restore harmony between gods and demons. Enter Raenef...heir to a set of demon royalty, he is hardly courtly material. The demon king assigns Eclipse to be his tutor, to mold Raenef into proper demonic shape. The two begin a journey of discovery and are soon joined by a human knight and a god-blessed priest.

Now for my review!!!

The Manga This week was found on this site...

MangaPark: Demon Diary

It isn't the first time I have mentioned this site.. I hope you all like it as much as I do! Anyhow... They put out a summary too so I'll post it here!

Summary

From Tokyopop:

Gods and demons wage a neverending battle with the mortal realm as their battlefield. As with most longstanding feuds, the reasons are no longer important--hatred is a way of life. But it is foretold that one would arise who could restore harmony between gods and demons. Enter Raenef...heir to a set of demon royalty, he is hardly courtly material. The demon king assigns Eclipse to be his tutor, to mold Raenef into proper demonic shape. The two begin a journey of discovery and are soon joined by a human knight and a god-blessed priest.

From Mari Lex:

As a demon lord in training, poor Raenef just doesn`t seem to make the cut. With his unbelievable innocence and neivity, not to mention unbearable cuteness dispite trying to look scary, he only agreed to become a demon lord for the free food. Will he ever become a successful demon lord???

The site relies on others to review it I think... so I posted what they have listed as the summary. (literal copy and past of the things written... so that isn't my spelling.)

As for my review.... I feel like this is a really good series! 

It is complete so there is no waiting to see what happens next.. It is a little "all over the place" but not in a way that makes it hard to read. It is like we get flashbacks from the characters which is really hard to draw in a manga without getting all confusing!

Here is an example of the art...

Eclipse is so sad all the time!!!

Here is another example... these two are the Raenef demons... But only one of them is truly alive!

You have to read to find out what one though!

As you can see the art is really good! Not only that but the story is good too!

It is rare that I have nothing to complain about with a Manga... This one would have managed that if it had not had the few times I got confused with it. It did clear up during the chapter so it wasn't too bad. It would have been better if it had something in the beginning of the chapter to let you know though since it took a few frames in to figure out. I looked up the books on Barnes & Noble...

Barnes & Noble: Demon Diary Vol. 1


I know it says "Item is available through our marketplace sellers." but if you click the "new and used" thing right under that it has places you can buy it from... I also shared it just in case there is information on the page you can use to find someone who sells it that isn't kn the list on the new and used pop-up thing. Happy Book Hunting!!!

Well that's all for now!

Hope you Like the review... An hope I have sparked an interest in "Demon Diary" for you.

As always... Thanx for reading what I've written!!!

Have an amazing day!!!
