Synopsis

.

.

Nemeses—powerful and mysterious demonic entities that fall from the sky and vaporize anything they touch. The only ones who can combat these creatures are Sorcerers, those who have survived an encounter with a Nemesis but were infected in the process.

Seth, a Sorcerer from Pompo Hills, sets out on an adventure to exterminate all these Nemeses. Accompanying him are Doc and Mélie, fellow Sorcerers who share his ideal. Their main objective is to bring about a world where Sorcerers are no longer persecuted for being infected, and to that end, desire to destroy the source of the Nemeses themselves: the mythical Radiant.

My review!!!

The Anime can be watched here...

FUNimation: Radiant

CrunchyRoll: Radiant

Before we begin my actual review I thought I'd give you something I don't usually do.... Here is a trailer for the anime...

Soooo... What do you think??? Interesting right??? I really thought I'd like this one when I first opened FUNimation to watch it and I was right! Before I knew it I was already at episode 17 and it was time for bed. I totally got into it though.

I feel like it teaches a valuable lesson to kids but it does it in a way that they don't even realize they are being taught anything. This has subliminal messages on discrimination and morals. Well I can't say it really has them but that is my take on it after watching it for so long.

When there are lessons hidden in anime and manga I seem to enjoy them even more. But this one isn't just lessons... It's about friendship and finding yourself. There's family values that show family isn't always between blood related beings. Yeah I know... People... Right?... But that's wrong...

Cryptic I know! Watch it to find out what I mean!

But for now I'll just tell you the rating...

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

That's right... It's only missing one point because I don't know how this will end... I'm really hoping there won't be a bad ending or that there will be a better wrap up in the second season. Yes there is a second season already so I know there is going to be a lot more fun to come. I am really loving this one and I recommend that you take the time to check it out too!

That's it for this one. I hope you enjoyed reading my review as much as I enjoyed reviewing and writing about this one!

As always... Thanx for reading my review!

Hope you have a beautiful day!!!

I Fell in love With my Sisters Boyfriend

.

.

Manga

.

Synopsis

.

.

When Qiu Zinan graduated from high school three years ago, he went to the bar with friends. He disguised himself as a girl and met the man named Liu Ye on that very evening. That night Liu ye and Qiu Zinan then had a one night stand. Zinan has always been obsessed with him. He didn't expect this man to be his sister’s boyfriend three years later.

My review!!!

This one is a bit of a handful to try to find! It's title is often written as I fell in love with my girlfriends brother. I'm sorry this is confusing but it's out of my hands.

Now onto the review!

The Manga can be read here...

MangaDex: I fell in love with my sisters boyfriend 

unfortunatly I could only find the one site to read it on too. It is a really good read with hints of possession and lots of misunderstanding what love is. Our young man Zinan is just trying to figure out if he's into men or women... Anyhow it is a read worthy of being brought to peoples attentions!

That being said lets see how I rated it!!!

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

The art and story get full marks which gives it a 6 already... I really enjoyed reading it and looking at the art! Because it isn't finished (at least it wasn't when I read it) I couldn't give it the 2 points it would get if the end was sequel ready and it lost 1 point from the fact that I am obviously going to have unanswered questions. After all, it's not done!

Taking that all into consideration I would really recommend checking this out if you like the yaoi style stories! It's cute how they act and react in this one... so persistent lol. but then again aren't they all if they are in love?

As always... Thanx for reading my review!

Hope you have a loving and fun day!!!

Stay save and healthy everyone!!

The Helpful Fox Senko-san

Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san

Anime

.

Synopsis

.

.

Like many hardworking members of the workforce, Kuroto Nakano is perpetually stressed out by his job. Still, since he lives alone, he must carry on to sustain himself. Little do humans like Kuroto know, this stress takes the form of darkness residing within a person's body and will bring one's life to ruin.

Fox deities can see this darkness and have the duty to save people before it is too late. To help rid Kuroto of his stress, Senko-san, an eight hundred-year-old foxgirl, volunteers to take care of him, and will do everything she can to ease the tension in his weary soul.

My review!!!

The Anime can be watched here...

FUNimation: The Helpful Fox Senko-san

Crunchyroll: The Helpful Fox Senko-san

MyAnimeList: Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san

It can also be purchased here...

Amazon: The Helpful Fox Senko-san

Soooooo.... I have been going crazy over how cute this one is! There is obviously more to it than what I can tell by just the first 5 episodes but from what I can tell it is a cute story about a Kitsune who wants to help a human. It almost seems, as time goes by, as if she already knew him. Maybe it's from another incarnation of his soul? I'm not sure yet but can't wait to find out!

She does all these cute things for him like she was his girlfriend, and he worries that people will she him with what looks like a young girl and condemn him as a pervert. I can't say I blame him since his neighbor, at first.... ummm yeah not gonna tell what happened... check it out to find out!

But before you do that you should check out the rating!

Mainly I gave it a 8 because I still don't know where the story is going. Usually by this point you have a good idea of what the main point to the anime is. If I had to guess it would be 'she wants to help him' but that's too incomplete. I don't know why other than to kill the darkness within him, but it hints at more. I just have no idea what the more is. The art was great though. If anything, I think it being so good saved it from going lower in rating!

At any rate... I think that this is where I'm going to stop talking about it. I know I have questions so I want to go watch more and see if they are answered. That is the mark of a good anime in my opinion!

As always... Thanx for reading my review!

Hope you have a helpful and happy day!!!

What's to come...

 So I have finally gotten a new computer! 

This means that my reviews can go back to being done on time again.... I hope. At least now, if they aren't being done, it is because I was lazy and not because I wrote the review a million times and it kept crashing! Yes that was part of why it wasn't getting done. I had to borrow a computer to get the ones that did get done actually posted! 

The other problem was that I was usually having a hard time moving and I didn't have a laptop that could handle anything yet. I still don't have a laptop but my computer space is now set up to keep me warm so the cold can't aggravate my Fibromyalgia and that means I can work at my desktop!

I really am sorry to anyone who was waiting for reviews! I will work to catch up little by little over the next month. To be honest, I kind of want to wait for after New Years. With Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up I really should worry about m girls and not my blog. When I think about writing before New Years I know that I'll scramble to get as many of the missed reviews done as I can and that would take up all my time. Then my girls miss out on me and any fun we might have had. I hope you have plans to have fun too!!! After all, it's the holidays!

I really do appreciate all of you that have stuck around and waited while I went through all the crap preventing me from writing. It really does mean a lot to me!

どうもありがとうございました!
(thank you very much!)

I thought I would end with showing you an image I made under fare usage of a free wallpaper base. I changed a lot of things in it making it my own but the place I posted it for sale ended up telling me I couldn't do that. I guess they wanted to avoid having to fight for me if anyone complained.

So this is the image I made... I copied the basic setup but it isn't the same by any means... In my opinion there is a drastic difference between the two. I'll share the image I used as inspiration below but please remember that sometimes art is meant to have elements that are similar or look the same.

I personally feel the concept of two trees on an island when it's night is a common concept but that might be just me! Oh well their loss right? If your wondering.. Mine is called "Fantasy Night" and I am going to be looking for a sight to make it available for purchase at some point. So I ask that you don't copy or reshare it on any social media please.

So now I'm going to go and I'll do what I can but please remember what I asked of you... Please don't be upset if my posts aren't regular or on time until after New Years!

Thanx for reading my post even though I've been crap at it lately!
Hope you have an amazingly magical night everyone!

Spice and Wolf

Ookami to Koushinryou

.

Anime

.

Synopsis

.

.

Holo is a powerful wolf deity who is celebrated and revered in the small town of Pasloe for blessing the annual harvest. Yet as years go by and the villagers become more self-sufficient, Holo, who stylizes herself as the "Wise Wolf of Yoitsu," has been reduced to a mere folk tale. When a traveling merchant named Kraft Lawrence stops at Pasloe, Holo offers to become his business partner if he eventually takes her to her northern home of Yoitsu. The savvy trader recognizes Holo's unusual ability to evaluate a person's character and accepts her proposition. Now in the possession of both sharp business skills and a charismatic negotiator, Lawrence inches closer to his goal of opening his own shop. However, as Lawrence travels the countryside with Holo in search of economic opportunities, he begins to realize that his aspirations are slowly morphing into something unexpected.

Based on the popular light novel of the same name, Ookami to Koushinryou, also known as Spice and Wolf, fuses the two polar genres of economics and romance to create an enthralling story abundant with elaborate schemes, sharp humor, and witty dialogue. Ookami to Koushinryou is more than just a story of bartering; it turns into a journey of searching for a lost identity in an ever-changing world.

My review!!!

The Anime can be watched here...

FUNimation: Spice and Wolf

Crunchyroll: Spice and Wolf

Hulu: Spice and Wolf

So this was a tittle I actually already knew. I had watched it a long time ago with my son so it was nice having a bit of a refresher on it. It was one I really liked because the god in question was so sassy! I love Kitsune but usually they don't show off their sass. Holo does and I love it!

So before I say anything else I'm going to show off how much I love it... Listed below is the rating I gave this one!

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

Now then, as you can see I have given it a great score! I would have given it a higher one but if I am remembering correctly the end left you with too much unanswered. My son and I both thought it needed another season. However that may be uncalled for by now. I don't remember how many seasons there where when I watched it and there are at least 2 now, So the problem might have already been fixed. If it is fixed then please know this is a total 10!

The art was amazing and the story was captivating. I really don't mind watching it again. In fact I plan on dragging my son into it and watching it from start to end with him to see what he remembers from it!

That's just how good it is! Off I go!

As always... Thanx for reading my review!

Hope you have an enchanting day!!!

2020 "Spotlight Review Wednesday" Announcements!!!!

 Let me start with

hontōni gomen'nasai!!!

In the last post where I said I was sorry I also said I was going to be getting things in order so my posts were on time like they should be. Well crap hit the fan and I got really sick. My laptop sucks and can't even handle the internet anymore and since my computer is in a common room for my whole family I wasn't allowed in it. They thought I had COVID but thankfully the test finally came back negative!

What this means for the blog...

Because I'm still sick I have to follow some new rules... As long as I have a  mask on when others are around or when I leave my desk I can go do my reviews again!!! yay!!! My girls joke all the time that I am stuck in school cause that's what they have to do when they are in class. That's ok with me though since it allows me to do the reviews!

This means that moving forward, so as to not put too much on me to prevent making myself worse, I am going to try playing catch up in a new way for myself. I'm going to list here the links to any reviews that did manage to go out last month as well as tell you what should be coming out in October. Normally by now I would have at least found all the anime and manga for the next month so I would know if I could actually do the reviews or not. However, because I was so sick I haven't looked them up. This means that October's reviews listed here may change due to unavailability. For that all I can say is I'm so so very Sorry!

Now then... A list of links to all the reviews I did that didn't get announcements... Let's Dive right in!

My First Time is With... My Little Sister!

.

Manga

.

Synopsis

.

.

Fondling Kaori’s full, developed breasts, I’m about to stick my dick into her pussy…But, why the hell am I about to have sex with my little sister!?

My review!!!

The Manga can be read here...

MangaDEX

Due to the type of manga this is I decided to not put out actual links to it. I have no idea if I have under age readers so I feel that even putting sites I found it on is pushing it... However any avid anime reader already knows about mangaDEX from searching out tittles that aren't so bad.

I did read the chapters needed to review this and while I won't be giving any spoilers I can tell you that it is completely impossible to have this happen in real life... It is for imagination purposes. 

First of all... Any brother worthy of the tittle of brother isn't going to be swayed as easily as this guy was.... I don't care what they do... It just isn't that easy! It is an interesting read if you are looking at it as a fantasy sex play type thing though.

And now because of they type of manga it is I am going to rate it and close the review. Sorry it is such a short one when I am so late on putting them out!

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

Again please remember I am rating the art, story quality, possible sequels and if it left me with questions. I am not rating on if I liked it. If that's what you want to know then no I didn't really like it... This kind of thing is just not my cup of tea.

It it's yours then please enjoy!

As always... Thanx for reading my review!

Hope you have a safe and happy day!!!

A Big I'm Sorry!!!

 Hi everyone... So yeah this happened.

Time is a thing! Something I am realllllly bad at. My desk is littered with reminders and to-do lists and I am really really bad at keeping track of them all... This is no excuse to miss a review though.

I'm Really sorry that I haven't gotten a few of the reviews out on time! I'm even more sorry to tell you that I may still have to put it off for a bit while I try to organize my clutter and get back on track!... There will hopefully be no more 'late' posts after I'm all set up though...

I will try very hard to get all the missed posts out by next weeks post but no promises... I have to set up my new software that will help me (hopefully) keep everything in line and on task still but that shouldn't take too long... Hardest part will be imputing all my tasks!

So let us see how it goes! wish me luck and thanx for being so understanding. It really means a lot to me!

As always... Thanx for reading my post!
Hope you have an amazing and productive day!
