Synopsis

In a thoughtless blunder, God accidentally strikes down Touya Mochizuki with a stray bolt of lightning! As an apology, God offers him one wish and the chance to live again in a magical fantasy world. Touya happily accepts the offer and, for his one wish, asks only to keep his smartphone with him as he begins his journey into this mysterious world.

Starting over in this new world, Touya finds it is filled with magic—which he has an affinity for—and cute girls vying for his attention. These girls—the twins Linze and Elze Silhoueska, Yumina Urnea Belfast, Leen, and Yae Kokonoe—provide Touya with no end of romantic frustrations, but also companionship as he discovers the secrets of this new world.

My review!!!


As you can see this one comes with a few options for watching it... I'm sure if you look longer than I did you will find even more options too... I just stopped after I had three places. To be honest I saw my son watching this one sometime after the list was made out and it looked interesting. He was well past the first 5 episodes though so I had no idea how it started or got to where I saw. I really couldn't wait to get to this one in the list!

So here we are and it's finally time to figure out how the odd mashup I saw came to be! YAY!!! The poor kid! I didn't even bother reading the description before I went and started it I was that excited... Only to see he was killed by good on accident! Holy Bad Luck Batman!!!

But it's not all bad right? He gets to live again in a world that's like every Otaku's dream right? Who wouldn't want to live where magic is real and keep their tech?!?!?! I know I would! Would you?

But before we get too much into it I wanna get the rating out of the way!

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

So it got a 9 for good reason... It's the unknown ending that is making it lose a point. It's a great one but I feel like this one needs a few seasons to really hit all the topics it could and not leave anything to the guess zone. I didn't look to see if it had another season or not but I didn't see it on Crunchyroll. Maybe it's available somewhere else but I didn't feel like looking further... Plus I still have to finish this season so I'm not even ready to look. I know that since it's this good I will not be able to watch the rest if I don't see another season because I'll be afraid the ending will ruin the whole thing for me.

I really don't want that!!!

So... Great art, amazing story line, fun to watch... So worth checking it out!!!

That's my recommendation... Now... I'm going to go and finish it tonight!!!

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

Sungjoon's not doing great, but life is looking up. His job at the convenience store pays enough for him to afford his own place. A tiny, smelly, and laughably cheap place, but he loves it. He loves it right up until he walks home and finds it on fire. Unfortunately, things get worse as he realizes he doesn't know anyone in the city who can help. Wait, no... that's not right. Actually, he does know Lee Hyo-in. A rich kid from his university who is, coincidentally, looking for a roommate. Well, not a roommate. More of a... dog.


My review!!!

 The Manga can be read here...

The title caught my attention right away... Then the first picture I see when I googled it was the picture I posted here. It turns out to be an interesting tail of love with someone who has an interesting quirk.

It's written well too... I read up to chapter 12 before I new it... It didn't feel like I had read that much because it has such a smooth flow. Not only that but it doesn't just focus on only the one couple. There is another person one of the people in our main couple meets in a sex shop and we get to know him a bit too! It's really funny why they start talking in the first place!

For that you need to go and read it though... I'm not giving away too much this time! I've been guilty of doing that in the past... But... I will give you the rating for this one... I really want you to check it out so I rated it like this...


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

So like I said... The story is amazing! But you can't forget the other part that can really make or break a manga or anime... The ART!!! In this one we luck out and the art matches the story... I could look at the art and not understand a word it says and be completely happy... Thankfully it's in English so I don't have to wonder what is really happening.

The story and the art are great so now I want to mention that it isn't a short manga... It has over 20 chapters. But it isn't long either... It's a decent size one so I have no complaints about that. Definitely worth reading even though it's sad that it has finished and there are no new episodes that I know of.

I'm gonna go finish reading this little gem... Hope you check it out too!

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

Synopsis

In September 1944, allied forces led by the 501st Joint Fighter Wing "Strike Witches" successfully eliminate the Neuroi threat from the skies of the Republic of Gallia, thus ensuring the security of western Europe. Taking advantage of this victory, allied forces begin a full-fledged push toward central and eastern Europe. From a base in Petersburg in the Empire of Orussia, the 502nd Joint Fighter Wing "Brave Witches," upon whom mankind has placed its hopes, flies with courage in the cold skies of eastern Europe.


My review!!!

The Anime can be watched here...

You can also buy it here...

FUNimation: Brave Witches

As you can see there are a few places to watch this one. It probably looks like I got the name wrong to some of you. That is... If you are familiar with the anime 'Strike Witches' it would. I assure you I have the names right. I will give one fact to prove it that doesn't give too much away.

The Strike Witches mention in their anime that there are other squads and name the Storm Witches at one point so it is possible to have both names but the clenching fact is this... The Strike Witches are the 501 squad while the Brave Witches are the 502 squad.

Now that this little detail is out of the way I can tell you what I think.

This sequel to the Witches World Series was very well thought out. I can picture it going in soooo many different directions... But the reason it's well thought out is because it mentions the strike witches a few times and even has a few.... Wait... That's too much detail. If you wanna know how the series is intertwined then I can only say you should watch both!

Go ahead... I can wait... but while I wait I'll reveal the rating!

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

That's right... It got full marks! It's not easy to get full marks from me but this one managed it. The art was amazing with all the fast paced flying the witches do and I already told you how well the story was thought out.

I'd have to say for me there was only one flaw and since it was a personal choice and preference thing I couldn't use it to rate the anime. I'll tell you what it is so you are at least prepared for it if you haven't seen Strike witches.

In both anime the girls all have no pants... They run around in panties which isn't itself a problem. The problem for me is how sometimes there were up close shots of private areas while clothed. It doesn't sound bad but the way they are drawn at that moment is very much fan service. My 9 year old daughter actually noticed and asked why it kept happening. So yeah... Not for me but it might be something you would want to see or be warned about beforehand. So i'll end this review with this...

It is one that is worth watching if you can ignore the crotch shots. I find that everything else makes it easy to ignore it so I am going to be finishing the show! Hope that helps and that you enjoy!!!

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

Synopsis

Every night at 10, Dong-gyun locks himself up in his room, grabs a box of tissues, and watches a live cam boy show hosted by Alex, a BJ (broadcast jockey). Timid Dong-gyun admires not only Alex’s ripped body, but his candor in sharing his sexual experiences with viewers. One night, Dong-gyun downs too many drinks at a school networking event and passes out. When he wakes up, he’s in bed staring up at a shirtless hunk. A hunk who looks an awful lot like...Alex.

My review!!!

The Manga can be read here...

The title of this one gave away no secrets... It tells you nothing... For me that makes me want to read it all the more! What about you???

I found out a few things... One was that the main characters are so cute.... One very shy and introverted... One very outgoing and 'perfect' to everyone else's eyes. It's a match that would be hard to see starting... But on top of all that... They are both men! Yup this one turned out to be a Yaoi!!!!

I'm happy! Oh so happy!

Sorry but I love Yaoi! I'm not ashamed to admit it... I am a proud fujoshi! This story is in lines with what I would assume might happen in real life... I wonder if the author had personal experience in his aspect or if they just have a really good imagination. Before I knew it I was at chapter 10 and enjoying all the awkwardness they share as they start finding their way.

They aren't a couple yet... I say yet because I'm completely shipping them!! I want to see the both of them happy together!!! I haven't been this invested in a couple since I read 'Skip Beat!' and shipped Kyoko and Ren!

And with that being said let's look at the rating this hopeful ship got!

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

Because our perfect man needs an attitude adjustment I can't give it a 9... I know I'm being a brat on it but I just don't like his way of looking at what he's got with our shy boy!!!

I feel like the art was amazing and the story was something you could really relate to. The way the emotions were shown was simple and effective but so cute and playful... Sometimes it was seductive and sometimes it was lewd. The range of expressions was great! I will definitely be reading this one until the end! Will you be joining me? Did my review peak your curiosity???

If so let me know what you think of the manga!

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