Synopsis

The Amanto, aliens from outer space, have invaded Earth and taken over feudal Japan. As a result, a prohibition on swords has been established, and the samurai of Japan are treated with disregard as a consequence.

However one man, Gintoki Sakata, still possesses the heart of the samurai, although from his love of sweets and work as a yorozuya, one might not expect it. Accompanying him in his jack-of-all-trades line of work are Shinpachi Shimura, a boy with glasses and a strong heart, Kagura with her umbrella and seemingly bottomless stomach, as well as Sadaharu, their oversized pet dog. Of course, these odd jobs are not always simple, as they frequently have run-ins with the police, ragtag rebels, and assassins, oftentimes leading to humorous but unfortunate consequences.

Who said life as an errand boy was easy?


My review!!!

 The Anime can be watched here...
Crunchyroll: GinTama

OMG this one was... Ummm... NOT what I was expecting... I knew a little about it before I started watching it and to be honest I was expecting ridiculousness... But what I got was not quite the same as I had envisioned.

First off... The first episode had us meet a lot of characters... Then the next 4 episodes went into how they met in the first place! That was a bit backwards to me but I decided to just see where it went since I already had to do the review. The other thing I knew about this anime was that it made fun of or picked on all other anime it could without going tooo overboard.... At least that is what they wanted to do.... I found myself playing a game of "What anime is this from" with myself so it worked quite well to suck in a trivia person like me!!!

I really couldn't figure all of them out either!!!

Speaking of figuring out.. Let me show you the rating I figured out for this one..

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

I'm giving it such a high rating because it was fun seeing a lot of other anime being done almost like a play by the characters of this anime... All while they developed their own unique existence, characters and story-lines.

Lets not forget the art! It was very well animated and I have to say that if you are bored stiff this one will not just entertain you by being a good anime it will also wake your mind up while you try to figure out what anime is being enacted!

And with that last bit it is time for me to go!

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


And don't forget to Live, Laugh and Love to the fullest!!!!!

MangaKakaLot: A Trap Can Use a Girl's Weapons

So... This one is a oneshot... And it is really... Ummm... I don't even have words for this one. There is no real story... It's more like a situation happened and the oneshot just showed it to us. There are so many questions I have... This could have been a great story... If only it actually was a story!

The art isn't bad though so I guess it has that much going for it. I have often seen manga or anime with traps for characters but seldom is it a case where they are forced to dress that was.... Actually I think this is the first time I've seen it like that. It's not a bad situation... and it has lots of story potential... So I'm very confused about why the Mangaka didn't try expanding it a bit.

This kid is smart too.... His brother says one thing and he totally turns the tables and gets what he wants! I am not going to tell you what he wants though since that would ruin it if you actually wanted to read it.

Now that we have gotten to this point, Here's the rating I gave after reading it..

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

I am so not sure how I am supposed to make this a decent size review right now.... I've already told you why it got the low score. It's not a bad chapter but it is missing it's everything else needed to really make it good.

And on that note I have to say i'm ending it here even thought it's a pathetically short review. I just can't stretch it any more than this! Bu-Bye!!!

As always... Thanx for reading my review!
Hope you have an interesting day!!!

Matsutaka Nanako is a normal university student, who happened to enroll in an Abnormal Physiology seminar. She tries to keep her mental state sound, but other abnormal classmates start to influence her personality...


 My review!!!

 The Anime can be watched here...

Ummm This one is.... Just a bit... odd.... The normal girl has so many reasons to run for the hill but she stays for a crush... I think it's a crush... I hope it's just a crush!!! I just can't think of what the hell is going on in any of their minds.... And that teacher!!!! Oh My God.... Whit is he thinking?!?!?! This is soooo not an appropriate class at all... In anything other than an anime this would end up getting you fired Mr. Teach!

That being said... The topics they research are fitting for the class since they are abnormal at best and since almost every member of the class is a grade A perv the topics get somewhat... ummm... Risky... at best.

They range from the smell of farts in bathtubs to things like the boundaries of toughing. Before you ask, yes I left that last one as an imaginative statement on purpose... You will have to watch at least the first 5 episodes to understand it!

Though I say that it'll take 5 episodes... I'm meaning that it will take that long to understand those comments... I don't know if I will ever really understand the anime itself. My mind is dirty but this is a whole other dimension! Totally and completely out of this world on the scale of what is normal and what is not!!!

Okay not... Let me show you the rating I figured out for this one..

I gave it a low grade because it made no sense to me... Every episode was a standalone one so you could literally stop watching it whenever and feel like you didn't miss out on anything at all... The art wasn't bad but it was too kid like and that was a problem for me considering the topics and things those "kids" were talking about in every episode!!! I get they were university kids and those topics fit that age... But... And this is a very big but.... They shouldn't have been drawn like elementary kids with that content.... Though that is my opinion.

I know there are those out there who like the Loli think and to be honest in some cases so do I... But it just felt wrong this time around... I don't know for sure if it was the way it was drawn or the conversation itself but something was off for me. I just couldn't get into it at all!

And this is where I will leave it.. Check it out and see what you think!

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

Synopsis
.

Suzushiro Mizuki is a 1st year high school student who has the difficulty of constantly being mistaken for a girl. It's so bad that he's endlessly rebuffing the confessions of many men. Even the girl he has a crush on seems to think of him more as one of the girls rather than as a potential love interest.

Meanwhile, the trickster god Loki has grown bored with playing her tricks on her fellow gods. Turning her attention to the mortal world, she targets Mizuki for her next round of fun. The result: Mizuki wakes up with budding breasts and a missing part of his anatomy.

What else is in store for Mizuki and how will he deal with it?



My review!!!

 The Manga can be read here...

I think this one is really interesting... It uses mythology... Loki the prankster is involved and this poor pretty boy pays the price for catching his attention! But as far as I know in mythology Loki is a boy... In this one he is a girl... I gatta give the mangaka props on creativity with age old ideas!

I have actually read this one a few years ago and didn't remember the name because it was during the time when I was binge watching and reading any and every tittle I could find.... It didn't matter if I liked it or not I just went down the list and read them. So it's no wonder I didn't remember the tittle!

I did like it even way back then though so it was no surprise I liked it again! I think the challenges this person face and the fact they have to find out who they are inside because of a prank is an interesting story plot! Not to mention the art is really good too... The men are mostly drawn as muscle bodied youths and the girls are cute... But then our main character is the exception... They start out as a really cute boy with next to no muscle definition and end up as a... well you need to read it to figure that part out... I mean... Does he stay a male, become a girl, or keep changing.. Just what does Loki do to him????

While we wait for him to figure it out why don't we look at the rating!

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

I gave this one a nine because I can't remember how it ends... Like I said... I was reading a lot back then. But it was good enough that even though I have read it already I have every intention of going back and reading it all over again! I don't think there was any chance I would have remembered it from the first time and i know it was interesting so now I really wanna know what the end is!

And on that not I'm gonna go read now!

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