Synopsis
.
.
At the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, Toyohisa Shimazu is the rearguard for his retreating troops, and is critically wounded when he suddenly finds himself in a modern, gleaming white hallway. Faced with only a stoic man named Murasaki and hundreds of doors on both sides, Toyohisa is pulled into the nearest door and into a world completely unlike his own.

The strange land is populated by all manner of fantastical creatures, as well as warriors from different eras of Toyohisa's world who were thought to be dead. Quickly befriending the infamous warlord Nobunaga Oda and the ancient archer Yoichi Suketaka Nasu, Toyohisa learns of the political unrest tearing through the continent. Furthermore, they have been summoned as "Drifters" to fight against the "Ends," people who are responsible for the creation of the Orte Empire and are trying to annihilate the Drifters. As the Ends grow more powerful, so does the Empire's persecution of elves and other demihumans. It is up to Toyohisa and his group of unconventional heroes to battle in a brand-new world war to help the Empire's subjects, while protecting the land to claim for themselves and challenging the Ends.



My review!!!


The Anime can be watched on Crunchyroll...

Crunchyroll: Drifters


The above image isn't a very flattering one of our three main Drifters now is it... Maybe this one will show you just how.... Scary... They can be...



OK... So it doesn't exactly scream scary either... But it does scream crazy!
And they really do seem crazy in the way they do things... But this is war... Who is silly enough to think someone who lives in a time of constant war could ever be considered sane! Not me that's for sure!

With that in mind... I want you to pay attention to something when you watch this little diddy... Look at how each person that was sent to this world by one of these two...


She sent the "ends" to the world and this guy...


Yeah him... He sends the ones known as "drifters" to the world... To be honest it is kinda like their little game... One fixing wrongs and one creating them... I dunno the whole deal with them since not too much has been revealed though.

Anyhow... I want you to look at how each of those people view war and how they handle situations during it... It really has a different view than what a lot of people would think... It shows not only their state of mind and how it warps them but how people who are living during the war actually feel or how it changes them too... No... This one was not what I was expecting that's for sure!

I usually don't like the historical type manga or anime... This one however caught me up and dragged me along episode after episode... I couldn't get enough... I want to know how the other ends are defeated and how many other characters get introduced on each side... I want to know what happens to the current Drifters and if the three ones I showed you at the beginning make it alive at the end... There are only 12 episodes on Crunchyroll but the last one talks about a 13th... I want to find it so bad!!! If you know can you tell me please??? That way I can figure out what happens next!

With the thought of what happens next in mind.... Let's Rate it!!!

On a scale of 1 to 10 with ten being a "Perfect-Must-Watch" rating I give this...
.
.
.
9
.
.
YUP.... 9 for this one.... I would have given it a 10 if it didn't say there was more and then not give me the more it talked about... I hate when that happens. So for now I will have to find the manga and read it so I can figure it out while I try to find the other episodes or OVA that are missing!

I really think I'm gonna end this review here... Hope you enjoyed it!

As always... Thanx for reading my review!!!
Hope you have a supernatural day!

Shin Tennis no Ouji-sama

Manga
.
Synopsis
.
.
Ryoma Echizen just joined the Seishun Academy's tennis team, which is known for being one of the most competitive teams in Japan. Its members are incredibly talented, gifted, and athletic. With rigorous and extremely intense practices, the upperclassmen of the team expect the very best from themselves and they expect even more from the new members of the team. While most of the freshmen are on pins and needles hoping they won't get cut from the team, Ryoma Echizen is confident, cool, and collected. Some might even say he's cocky, but at least he's got the skills to back up his attitude. With his virtually unreturnable "twist serve," Ryoma is sure to make the starting team.

Join Ryoma and the other first years, as they train hard, make friends, and try to find a place for themselves on the team. And meet Ryoma's cute but chronically shy classmate Sakuno Ryuzaki. She's got a big crush on Ryoma, but will he ever notice her? Ryoma Echizen is the Prince of Tennis. He may be ready for the Seishun Academy tennis team, but are THEY ready for HIM?

My review!!!


Normally I use the first volumes cover picture here but today I thought I'd change it up just a bit... here is the 12 volume art!!

The manga this week can be found on MangaPark...


OK... So this one is a bit confusing to follow in my opinion... At least the first 5 chapters are a little hard... You see there is a lot of info in those chapters that seems really useless but is probably very useful... The problem for me was that I didn't really get it too much. Maybe that was because I don't play tennis and I don't really follow it either!

Now to tell you what I did get out of it... There are two grade sets in this... Middle school kids and High school or is it Junior high? Well anyhow... These age groups are playing against each other to move up in court ranks...

Or something like that... 

It seems there is a lot I am missing... And when I looked deeper into it I found out that there are actually two manga series for this set... Each could be considered it's own season I guess... And to top it off this is season two!

For that reason alone I can't really say much about this one because I don't know what the heck is going on in the first place! How could I possibly tell you if it is good without reading the first one... From what I have read though I can at least tell you it seems like it's going to be interesting!

Speaking of interesting... Let's see what interesting rating I gave it!

On a scale of 1 to 10 with ten being a "Perfect-Must-Read" rating I give this...

You have noooo Idea how hard it was to rate this while trying to pretend I knew what was going on! I didn't even know about it until I saw a picture on my Google+ page! Originally another post was supposed to be here but it was a really short oneshot... There was no way I was going to be able to make a review on it... I mean... We are talkig like 4 pages long here... super sort but super cute!!! If you want to check it out you can look it up on MangaPark. The name is "Devil's sweet snare" or something like that.

Anyhow... I am going to end this one here and hope you don't mind that it is a replacement review... Hope all is well with everyone!!!

As always... Thanx for reading my reviews!
Hope you have an interesting and fun day!

Future and adpocolipse talk... What's in my head!

Have you ever had those days where your mind wanders and you end up thinking of the future no matter how hard you try to stay in the now? Yeah... That is just about how today went... I say just about because I can manage to stop and be here now but it is really really hard!
At times like this I can't help but feel like everything is up in the air... How long till I can say I am a true blogger? When will I have a following that I can talk with and get to now? Is it actually important that I have a following at all? I don't know what the future holds for me and my blog but I do know I love Blogging so I have no intention of stopping... At least not any time soon!

But those questions lead to me wondering where I should go with the blog... It's not like I don't want people to want to read it after all.... So where to go with this is what I am stuck on now.

If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them!

Onto the next order of business... I have finally gotten hit by the adpocolipse! Yup i'm talking YouTube now.. I thought I would be safe because I only have 10 subs but I was wrong... The way it hit me isn't by demonitizing specific videos but by making it so that until I have 10,000 total views I can't have ads on my videos... Which means I can't make any money off them until then. I get why this is the way it is now but I feel like I'm being jipped. I didn't do it for the money in the first place so I'm not hurting because of it but I can imagine there are some channels out there that were thinking that they didn't have to work as much and now they have to go back full time till they reach the marker point. This could be a real pain in the butt! I mean really YouTube???
I know if I was worried about this I would not be happy... As it is I don't care but I do think this is going to cause some issues... This adpocolipse is going to do one of two things as far as I can see. It's going to weed out the creators that were just not serious enough to be among the elite! and it is going to cause the creators who are considered the elite to find other ways to make money... That's because the way it is hitting them is that it is forcing them to change who they are on YouTube when people started watching them because of who they are. I don't think that's such a good idea though.

But enough about the things you have no idea about unless you happen to be a creator... And if you are and want to check out my channel there is a link in the menu bar. As for this post.... I'm ending it here... I'll catch ya on the flip side!

As always.... Thanx for reading my post!
Hope you have a relieving and exciting day!

Synopsis
.
.

The story takes place in a world where people continue their war against the "unknown"—the enemy of humanity. Children who have been evacuated to a cold sleep facility during the invasion by the "unknown" several decades ago wake up from their slumber and learn that their bodies developed some supernatural forces. In order to protect the country from the "unknown" emerging from the Tokyo bay gate, the boys and girls wage battles in the defense the cities of Tokyo, Kanagawa, and Chiba.



My review!!!


The Anime can be watched on Crunchyroll and MyAnimeList...

All right... So I wanted to try something new with this one... I thought a lot about the setup of these reviews and while I think it is fine the way it is I also want to change it up a bit... So I am going to try another setup... I don't know if this will work good or bad. But here's to trying new things right!

So what I want to try is this... I want to give a mini section for each episode... Here is episode 1's! Warning... Contains some spoilers!

~~~~~~Episode One~~~~~~

Basically in this episode we see a complete change in both the main characters we meet... They go from little to being Quite grown up even though they are still children! They also are no longer years apart in age... This is the only spoilers you are going to get! We get to see what the unknown look like and how they attack.... As well as meeting the other children with the world power.

~~~~~~Episode two~~~~~~

In this one it seems more like we are getting to know our characters as well as facing challenges both created by them and in the descovery of something potentially new from the unknown they are fighting.... Hint is RADAR... no the unknown don't have tracking or radar so what else could it be??? Watch to find out and let me know what you think!

~~~~~~Episode Three~~~~~~

In this one a new mystery comes up... What on earth do they mean by "Transfer them to the inside" because that makes no sense.... Watch to find out k! Although you may  have to watch a few to find the answer... Not sure yet since I haven't watched the next one... speaking of which... I'm doing that now so here is the review on that episode...


~~~~~~Episode four~~~~~~


I think there is a very valuable lesson in this episode. If you watch only one of Them then I think this should be the one you watch.... Ouch that slap though! 
I didn't like this episodes ending!!! OMG NOT FAIR!!! if you were thinking happy ending for "Iichan and Canaria" also known as "Canary and Suzaku"... Well... don't watch this one... I hope that ending is wrong!!! I am going to keep watching because otherwise it is going to plague me and I don't feel like an anime making me crazy!


And last we have...

~~~~~~Episode five~~~~~~



NO NO NO NO NO!!!!! You find out the answer to if it is real or not in the first few seconds!!! I don't like the answer so unless there is a twist somewhere I think it is going to be reallly hard to watch this one to the end of all the episodes!!! Wish me luck and watch to find out what I'm so upset about!

So with all that info lets do what needs to be done...

Let's rate this little gem!

On a scale of 1 to 10 with ten being a "Perfect-Must-Watch" rating I give this...

YUP a total knock out! I am so hooked and yet I don't know what episode did it! I hope that you liked this review style... It's a lot harder to do it this way so I won't be doing it all the time but I will do it like this sometimes... At least until I'm used to it that is. I think I'll end this review here...

As always... Thanx for reading what I shared!
Hope you have a happy day!

Just some thoughts... Where do I go from here?


It’s kind of sad that I open word to write anything that I think I may want on the Main-Blog just to see if it has enough words. I don’t know if you remember but a while ago when I was trying to get approved for adSense I said I needed 450 words for them to consider the content to be enough for an ad. I decided that instead of having to cut and paste everything from the Main-Blog to any of my others if it wasn’t a “plump” enough post that I should write it in word and then move it to where it would fit best. Because of this I end up with a lot of posts later in the week or month that seem like part of earlier posts. Yeah it gets kinda crazy!

Now I’m sure you are wandering why I brought this up now? To be honest this is one of those posts that I don’t know where it will go… If it isn’t big enough it will go on the Vlog-Blog with some video attached. If it is big enough I’ll add pictures and publish it on the next date I have nothing planned for.

And again, I bet you are wondering why I’m telling you this…. Well I was thinking… Yeah I know… Gears are turning... Scary thought! But anyhow, I was thinking about my “projects”… Let’s call them projects. They are my three Blogs, my Book, my artwork, singing, poetry and my YouTube. There are a lot right! So, while I was thinking about all these little projects I realized something… I really need to prioritize them! I do a little her and a little there but nothing ever gets finished because I never finish them. Which brings us around to the ones that will never be finished! The blogs and the YouTube fit those thoughts.

Yes, I can say my book, artwork, singing and poetry can be finished because each has a stop point… one book has an ending even if it leads into another book… A poem must have a set point to call the end. So do songs and every picture has a point where you think it is complete. But even though each blog has posts that are points where I could say I’m done and YouTube has videos that end, there is always the next post or video that needs to be done…. Thus they don’t end. Still wondering what this has to do with the first thoughts? Well I need to prioritize my projects that I want to make better in a way they can be finished even if they aren't the finish-able ones! 

So for the blog it is writing the posts in word before I publish them and for YouTube… That one I haven’t figured out yet. But I will... YouTube is a monster all it's own because even if I finish it I really never can unless I leave it. Blog posts all have ends that could potentially be the last one but a video always ends with a feeling that there will be more to come. So unless I do a video specifically saying bye-bye then there will always be more. At least that is how I feel about it. So I think my blog and YouTube need to be the main focus since they never end.... Lucky for me my YouTube also features some of my art and occasionally a song. OK, once a song! To be fair, I can sing but not on camera... I don't know why I can talk to everyone fine but get camera shy when singing. Maybe I'll do songs I sing to pictures I take? That's an idea anyhow. I dunno... But now I'm starting to ramble so lets end this here!

As always... Thanx for reading my post!
Hope you have a productive and fun day!

The following is the synopsis from the site I found this on...

Middle school, year 2, Summer. The me who was unable to say “don’t go” or that “I liked you” to her in the past appeared before me 3 years later. The story of a boy and a girl confronting the time spent apart from each other.

Original: http://comic.naver.com/webtoon/list.nhn?titleId=667573&weekday=wed

My review!!!


The manga this week can be found on MangaPark...


well as much as I liked the start of this one I have something to complain about... Yes already... Since this one is not well known or is too new there was next to no info on any site! And to top it off... NO info on MyAnimeList!

And now that I have complained... I shall start the real review!

All in all this wasn't a bad one... It's a bit drawn out for my taste though. It does have the potential to do in a million different directions though so that is a really good thing... I'd say that if it picks the right direction then it will be an amazing little gem but right now it's still an unpolished rock!

I don't think I will be waiting for the new chapters though... It isn't one that caught my attention... For me it feels like so many other school time romances I've read and it is really boring to read the same thing again and again! Like I said it can still go so many ways though... So in the long run if any of you decide you want to read it and it gets really good... All I can ask is that you let me know so I can do a new review on it. When you do tell me then please tell me what chapter it started getting good for you so I know when I have to read to. After all... All of my normal reviews are on the first 5 chapters.

But a second review wouldn't be a normal one would it!

And with that being said... I think it is time to see the score!

On a scale of 1 to 10 with ten being a "Perfect-Must-Read" rating I give this...
.
.
.
3 - 4.5
.
.
.
I know it is low... It would have been higher if it was a little more fast pace. I felt like it was being drawn out with no clear picture of where it was going... If you like reading things that don't seem to miss a thing then this is a perfect manhwa for you... But if you don't mind a bit of mystery... Then please take my advice and don't read it... There is no mystery right now and I've read the 5 chapters available at the time of this review.

I think I will leave the review like that... I hope I didn't make anyone not want to read this one because it does have potential... I just don't have the patients to wait to see where it goes from here!

As always... Thanx for reading my reviews!
Hope you have an interesting and fun day!
