Versus Virus Venus review - 41/100



Venus Versus Virus is an anime who tries to lure me in with a cool first episode and a cool ED. I have never been so lured into an anime as this one. The first episode was pretty good, and after that you start to hope that it eventually will get better and it will be as good as you expected it to be. But. After a couple of episode you’ll just realise that you have been lured into the anime. There are two things you can do after that conclusion: Drop it, or blog it and have some fun. I have chosen for the blog it option. Because how hard I had to laugh over all the silly stupid events in this anime.

Anyway. This anime is about two girls who are fighting demons that you call Virusses. They are just really evil and need to get killed. The one girl is a real cool girl, without many emotions and she is just cool and harsh. She has a flashlight eye (really! It glows in the dark!) and has a horrible past because of her flashlight eye. Her name is Luchia. After a couple of years of fighting those evil Virusses, something happens and a new girl is introduced: Sumire. Sumire has no spine, whines about everything, has the most annoying friends ever, cries every episode, is scared to death every episode, doesn’t even notice when she almost is murdered by the badguys and she has an evil alterego. When she is shot by an anti-Virus bullet she becomes so evil that she can’t control herself and just wants to kill everyone in her path. That is a nice contrast, and it can work nice on paper.

But. It doesn’t work in the anime. We see Sumire whine about every little event for the first half of the anime and she was so annoying that I almost wanted to twist her neck. She keeps on wondering why this happened to her and bla bla bla. Really annoying. I kept on hoping that she would succeed in growing a spine (she did one episode! But the episode after, she was the same as ever) but unfortunally she didn’t. In fact, the creators gave all their attention to Luchia, a character who was perfectly fine, but they softened her a numberous times. A big mistake. What I would love to see is Sumire in her Berserker mode attacking Luchia and the two of them fighting. We never really saw that one. Unfortunally.

And don’t even get me started about the things you can predict in this anime. I predicted 4 episodes before the conclusion what the plot was going to be and I was right as well! I suck at predicting things so I was really taken back by laugther when I saw that bullshit. Further has this anime a lot of actions that really unnecesarry. For one example, the badguy and one of the goodguys meet in a busy shopping street. One second later they are in a deserted building, overdramatically holding a conversation. There are a lot of stupid deaths in this anime, for one example the minute that Sumire killed a Virus that had possessed a girl of her school. The second after that when her boyfriend hold her once again she completly forgot about that one. The most stupid action will remain that Luchia somehow in one year succeeded to age two years. Yes she did. And god, how stupid was that. And of course, you can already see it in the badguy. He is also pictured in this review. Who on earth would want evil glowing eyes? In fact, in every serious anime that is stupid. But with two different colors.. ^^..

If you ignore Sumire a couple of times and don’t watch her friends at all, this anime is hilarious. It sucks in many ways, but it is so bad, that it becomes really great to see. I recommend this to everyone who wants to critizise an anime, or to a couple of sarcastic friends. It is a great laugh. Because it isn’t meant to be laughable.

Black Lagoon review - 73/100



Black Lagoon is an anime about a company guy who gets kidnapped by a bunch of modern pirates. Hoping to be rescued by the company, his company ditches him and leaves him to die. After the kidnapping is over, this guy claims that he is so angry with his company and he has no other place to go, so he joins the pirates instead. He as a company guy has a lot of trouble to change himself into a villian, but to be frankly, he uses his own abilities to help his new company "Black Lagoon" out of some trouble. They live in a violent city, Roanapur, and this anime follows his story and the kinds of jobs and situations. The pirates run a delivery company in that city. It might be a bit weird for us to see, for example "The Churce of Violence" with nuns carrying guns, everyone getting excited for a manhunt for a lot of money, and all kinds of maffia all over the world who gather there. There is no justice in that city, and that’s where Black Lagoon the anime starts.

There are a couple of things that can hold this anime together, because Rock can be a bit annoying once in a while. The first thing is the gunwoman of the company, Levy. She is just pure evil at the first sight and she can kill anything on her way. It’s really nice to see her in those gunfights because the fights are really well made, and it can be an enjoyable time for us to see. The other things are a couple of side characters. Dutch is the leader of the company and his comments and actions are always fun to see. And the other is the nun of the Church of Violence, Eda. And god how I had to laugh because of her. But those are side characters and their backgrounds isn’t lightened out at all, and it’s a real waste.

The cases are really something too. You won’t be suprised to see an evil maid who acts like a robot scaring the hell out of Dutch, Benny and Rock, and Levy trying to fight her. You wouldn’t be suprised to see a gunfight at the "Church of Violence", saying that you should come back when it’s the day of judging and blackmailing everyone. Also you wouldn’t be suprised to see Rock again being kidnapped. He is really good at that. Here lies the good point of Black Lagoon. Several cases with Rock, Levy, Benny and Dutch and a couple of side characters, and they are just trying to furfill their job.

However. The second season is more pointed to some side characters like Balalaika, the head of the Russian Maffia. The action is too much, the blood is too much, the evil things are just too much. We have no Benny and no Dutch and no Eda. The creators tried to force Levy and Rock into a situation and then by some kind of a miracle letting them to be saved. The action was too much and too less blackmailing. It was a real shame because the power of Black Lagoon lies in its imposing characters, and the weird cases. And don’t mention the Engrish. I have tried to understand them, but after a few attempts I just convinced myself that it was a language that isn’t be for humans to understand. It’s such a waste. Black Lagoon started nice, but it became worse in the second season.

Yoshinaga-chi no Gargoyle review - 68/100


This is what you would call a weird anime. Namely, it’s about a talking rock statue that vollows his life (if he even has one) to protect a family: the Yoshinaga’s. And it’s a real weird family too, we have a always happy mother, but if she gets angry she has a weird habit to break everything she sees (including the one she is mad about), we have a normal father, he is just an ordinary character, we have a daugther who acts like a boy and has a nickname "agressive girl" with serious kicking skills, and we have a very cute brother who acts like a girl and I just adore that guy.^^ And this is what Gargoyle (hilariously nicknamed to Gar-kun) is protecting. He is made with alchemy, and that is also a central point of this anime. At first, I thought that with Futaba, they have nothing to fear but really. How many criminals showed up in this anime. 

You can call this anime messed up. They spent all their airtime to serious cases. At the beginning it can be touching, but they keep on whining about the side characters, instead of focussing on the family. A lot of time is spent to one particular guy: Hyakushiki. He is a villian, a thief, but also a caring father and I have to say that he is quite charming. But he keeps on focussing about the wellbeing of his ‘daughter’ instead of teaching her some nice tricks. I was so glad that he made a proposal to her that she had to steal the bra of the shopkeeper Iyo because that was hilarious.^^ But. Hyakushiki, such a charming and nice character, is most of the time only shown with one side. And that goes for all the characters.

I think that this anime needs a remake. And then be more sarcastically. Because when this anime is sarcastic, it is great and I laugh my head off. But that doesn’t happen, because they focus on the serious drama. And that is such a waste. Futaba is also shown too little, because she is the weirdest girl I have ever seen in a anime, and I would like to see more of her. But, that chance wasn’t given to her. I would like to see Kazumi getting angry for once, and Futaba being embarrased by something. That should be hilarious. I would like to see Gar-kun to threaten more people and using those super laser eyes beams more. But, we didn’t.

Don’t get me wrong, the drama is nice too, but it can be corny once in a while. And those characters have so much potention, it seems like a waste. We don’t watch this anime because of the art because it’s nothing special, the music is once in a while really annoying. I would like to see the characters.
Tell me when a second season or a OVA for a second attempt is announced.

Fushigi Yuugi Review - 30/100


Behold: The cornyness of Fushigi Yuugi. It is so corny that it’s laughable.^^ I have never seen something that could be this bad.
Some may call me insane for watching this. True, I can’t deny that I didn’t call me that either at some points of this anime. I know I dislike romance anime. No, dislike is a small word. I hate it. Why would I watch this? The answer is simple: Because it’s so stupid it becomes funny and I just want to critisize the hell out of it. It’s an ancient anime, produced in the year of 1997, one of the first great anime. And you can describe this anime with two words:
1) Shoujo!
2) Soapopera. 
Yes. It is really stupid. When you combine shoujo with soapopera, of course something stupid like a girl who falls in love with a guy and a lot of problems and bla bla bla.. you know it.
Also reminded Fushigi Yuugi me of Excel Saga. And that may be possible, because Excel Saga makes fun of a lot of anime. We can really see the Fushigi Yuugi reverences in Excel Saga. A lot of sparkles when the atmosphere becomes romantic, a lot of nice soft backgroundcolors, and the same stupidity when it comes to romance. That made Fushigi Yuugi even more fun than it already was.

Anyway! Let the critisize begin. You have here the prototype of a shoujo anime. Really. This bitch manages needing to be saved every episode, at least one time. Sometimes it’s even four times in ONE friggin’ episode. Of course she fell in love with one of her heroes (and she confessed to him only after FOUR friggin’ episodes! Even in a regular shoujo anime, that is really quick. We can’t underestimate the hormones of this bitch, can we?) and she is just whining about him EVERY episode that is really sickmaking or if you want to laugh, laughable. She has an annoying voice, is stupid as a cow, loves to eat, is stupid as a cow, is naive, hasn’t got a clue what’s going on, ruins every plan the other makes up, when she acts on her own she is saved 2 minutes after that (because, she is lost, scared, feels guilty, feels sorry, etc etc), can’t be honest with herself and others and she wants to commit suicide if she does something wrong again (of course, she is saved the moment she jumps in the river..), manages to walk with guys she doesn’t even know and after that she is suprised that she almost gets raped (of course, she is always saved the moment it’s starting to get really serious. And this happesn four episodes after each other that she is almost raped! That can become a bit.. annoying) is supposed to save the world, is supposed to change the hearts of the ones around her and of course: She is only 15 years old. Say ‘hello’ to Miyaka. The cow of this anime.

The side characters are as stupid as ever. We have for example the Tensai kid, but he is just worthless. Despite his tensainess, he has only succeeded in doing a good thing for one time and he even let himself be possesed. If that is a tensai, then there are a lot of miracles that I don’t know of. And that’s the problem with all of the characters! We’ve only seen the cast of four people, and the rest hasn’t got a personality, and is the stereotype of the his part. It’s a bit weird because we have something like 16 characters, and only four are lightened out. And also, when characters die, ten episodes later, they are already forgotten. That was too stupid. The badguys are as corny as ever, because this idiot wants to be a god of himself. How corny can be your reason? He manipulates everyone for it, and everyone buys it.

The plot of Fushigi Yuugi is also a really stupid one. We have the normal schoolgirls, and they are sucked into a book and become priestesses to summon some weird gods. The maincharacter leads a happy live, gets a boyfriend and a lot of friends. The other one doesn’t. She comes in the enemy country of Miaka, and is convinced that she is raped. Because of that, she tries to blame it all on Miyaka and the two of them become enemies. Really nice reasons, though. Yui doesn’t realize that you have to be a virgin to summon a God, so it was a bit weird to see her like that. It can be understandable, but the fact remains that she has lost her sence to think, and forgets that her friend Miyaka crosses the country of the enemy, almost gets killed a couple of times to see her friend again. And still Yui tries to blame Miyaka for what all happened. The real badguy is just a badguy because he is a badguy. He hasn’t real motives except the fact that he of course wants to be a god himself and wants to rule some people. He manipulates and everything what he has done in this anime, is according his plan. This makes the goodguys even more stupid because they come with NO strategy at all (and they even have a tensai kid among them..). In fact, the only one who comes with plans is Miss Brainless herself, and her plans are SO stupid you can’t even imagine.

Fushigi Yuui is so predictable and SO stupid that it becomes laughable. People walk into each other for no reason at all and that happens a lot. You already know what is going to happen, every time as Miyaka needs to get saved, you can count till three and her hero stands before her. 

In the first season they focus on finding all the characters and on the lovey-dovey of Tamahome and Miyaka. But the second season, that was so amazingly.. stupid. The creators tried to kill off every member in the cast, leaving only Miyaka and Yui behind. People die for no reason, families are murdered for no reason at all. But it became laughable, so laughable that I laughed myself through these episodes..^^ The deaths were SO stupid that I couldn’t stop laughing anymore. Especially the death of Nuriko was really stupid, there is NO way that he could die from a wound of his back. Especially because he jumped above his aganonist. After that we get a five minute during song and some screens of Miyaka and Nuriko shopping. That was such an unbelievable horsecrap that you can’t imagine.

I guess that Fushigi Yuugi has tried to get some fans with the character design. There are a lot of bishounen, and a lot of bishoujo’s too. Fushigi Yuugi focussed too much on the design of the characters, then on the personality of the characters. They don’t have a personality at all, and when they do have one, it’s just an stereotype and a plain character. It’s a real shame, because the creators could have done much more out of this concept, but they didn’t because they had to focus on the lovey-dovey of Miyaka and Tamahome.
Further the creators have tried to make it a comedy as well. But the humor repeats itself a numberous times, in which the humor became too forced and corny so it does no longer become any funny. The jokes are corny, and there is no originality in it.

At last, the music. Ooh the horrible music! The same tune is used in all the episodes, and that can be a real annoyance. The music is horrible, the tunes are just weird, don’t fit the atmosphere of the anime, is used a lot of times for no reason at all. The cliffhangers are also really annoying because the creators decided that every episode should end with a cliffhanger. Sometimes the cliffhangers are so stupid that I couldn’t stop laughing.

I don’t recommend Fushigi Yuugi, except those who love to watch stupid anime (remember Wolfs Rain^^). I could critizise this anime much and much more, but I guess I already made my point in this.  For the other ones: Don’t. Really. Only if you want to watch some ridiculious anime, you might like it. But this anime is so stupid, that I can’t believe that it has so much fans running along with them. Don’t watch this anime if you have just started to watch anime. It might give you a wrong image how anime is. Really. Don’t.

Jigoku Shoujo Futakamori review - 87/100


The second season of Jigoku Shoujo. We all know the concept. A website, can only be accesed at midnight, and when you enter the name of the one you hate, the one you hate will go to the hell. However, when you die, you’ll also fall into the shadows of hell. I was rather happy that this one has a second season. I felt that there were some questions left and I couldn’t get just enough of it.

And yes. The second season is different from the first. First I thought the cases would be more disturbing. But that wasn’t true. Then I thought that the cases would built on the ‘Hell Crew’. We did get more information about the Hell Crew, but not in the end of the anime. It was just to built on the climax and the plottwist. But that was a good point for me, because I was wondering in the first season how the hell crew came by Enma Ai. We get in the second season more information about that, how those persons were when they were still alive (in some cases) and how they met Enma Ai. And I found it great to see. Really.
But talking of Hell Crew characters, this season there is such a small brat. She annoyed the hell out of me in most of the episodes, she isn’t useful and her character isn’t worked out at all. She is just the annoying brat. And she can be funny calling the other members of the Hell Crew ‘baldy’ or ‘grandma’, but this can annoy after a few times. At the last episode I understood a bit why Kikuri was in the anime, but even then it was a vague reason. I think you could call Kikuri the worst point of this anime, because I can’t see the real reason for her to get such a big part.

When the first season focussed on the morals of the hotline to hell and Tsugumi and Hajime, we barely hear of them this season! Only in the last episodes. I can’t say that I didn’t miss them, but well. I can say that this anime has the best ending ever. We see case building. In the beginning, you would see that it was another case, but it kept coming worse and worse. I watched it with a sickening feeling in my head because it was becoming worse and worse with the second. My compliments to that ending, because the feeling that it all ended was even greater after that. After this I think we can consider Jigoku Shoujo as art. It was beautiful made. I was never so happy that it was over. Because I felt so sorry for the character.

Another great point of this anime is that the music even became better! I adored the first soundtrack, I worship the second. The ED is great, the OP is even greater. I loved it and it gave another turn to the anime.

Further, of course. Some of the cases are a bit weird, and not really relevant. But I can’t see for anyone who has seen the first season, shouldn’t check out the second. You won’t be dissapointed.

Ghost Hunt review - 78/100


I’m really glad that I have seen an anime like Ghost Hunt. Yeah I know, this anime has its flaws, but overall it was an really enjoyable time watching. This anime is based on several cases, and that already has an nice influence. We don’t see a regular plot, with the prelude, the coming tension and then a climax. That’s not the case here, so it’s really .. quiet to watch. Most of the time because damn it how freaky this anime can be!

The story goes like this: We have an organisation. And to put it simply: they hunt ghost. We have an really egoistic leader, Naru, of the organisation who blackmailed a highschool girl into the organisation for doing the rather useless jobs: Mai. But after the first arc she is hired because they need some people. You could say that these are the maincharacters. But after a couple of episodes, we see that Mai also has some special powers. She has foreseen dreams that mostly give a lot of information about what is going to happen. First she didn’t believe it and that was rather annoying, but after a while people also say: Go to sleep! maybe you are of some use to us! Further she is not really of great use. And she knows it, and it frustrates her. And then she does the most stupid things, because really wants to help as well. Some find it annoying that she really doesn’t do anything, I find it realistic. Mai knows she is powerless. And to put her in the maincharacter position.. It’s rather original.

The mastermind: Naru
And we have some really interesting side characters. The only problem is that we really don’t get the backgroundinformation about those dudes. They are just there, when they are needed and nothing more. That is a real shame because the characters are really interesting! We have Bou, a monk (but also plays in a rockband), a spoiled miko named Ayako, a girl named Masako who can sense spirits and a Christ who can exorcise. And don’t forget Lin. The only problem with him is that he is unsociable. They are all real nice characters. But they aren’t enough displayed on the screen. And that was a real shame, I think I might could really like some of the characters. I like unsociable characters, so I was really dissapointed that there was so little information given about Lin. For an example.

Anyway, except these points. I don’t have any complains left. I loved to watch this in the evening, it always gave me a nice atmosfere before I went to sleep. I can’t see anything negative about the tension. It is great. It’s really scary. The arcs, some are rather.. weird, and some scared the hell out of me. The difference in the cases is also really good to see. First we just have a poltergeist, after that a really scary woman, after that curses, and we end with a couple of terrifrying arcs. Litterly. You can really see they had put a lot of work in it, with reverences to ancient China and even to ancient Europe. There are not some real dumb cases in it, it’s always really intellectual. Except episode 13 but that was just a funny episode. I liked the ending too. The creators really put a nice way in it, and it wasn’t forced at all.

The art is nice, the music is fantastic. There is a lot of work put in the appearance of the characters, they wear something different every day. I loved it. Despise the flaws of Ghost Hunt, I can recommend it to everyone.

Tales of Eternia Review - 46/100


2000 years ago, a war occured two different worlds: Celestia and Infernia. It was a bloody war, and after the war was ended, the two worlds were closed for each other. Well. This does sound nice. And when you ad the fact that this anime is based on a game, and that the title is really nice, I thought: I should give it a try. A real mistake. I wish I had never said that. Our ‘heroes’ have to save this two worlds and of course they are on a journey to do so. Gosh where on earth did I hear this before? Another story of a bunch of weirdoes, ready to save the world. It sounds a little childhoodlike, and yes, how longer I watched this anime, how longer I thought this anime just looked like Pokémon. Really, there are SO many things the same! Two of the characters, Keel and Melody, have a modern version of a pokéball, with which they can summon ‘Summoning Spirit’s (a.k.a. modern pokémons). Also these ‘Summoning Spirits’ can do modern pokémonattacks like the watergun. Don’t ask me how on earth they do that, I don’t want to know. 

The maincharacters are even MORE annoying! We have a girl, Farah, which is really the most annoying woman I have ever seen. Her voice is annoying, she makes annoying moves, her motives are also really annoying. It gave me a headache. And of course we have our main superhero which the notorious Sword, Rid. Of course, Rid always saves the day. How ordinary.

You might think we would see the adventures of these ‘young heroes’, but most of the time we see them celebrating the holiday on a Hawaii look a like island. That was even more annoying. I would love to see more fantasy like creatures, but I was really dissapointed in this aspect. True, I saw some, but they were slaughtered, not strong enough and it was all in vain. They are stuck on that beautiful island with weird people. And that’s what this anime is about. Untill we reach the climax with episode 9. This is so overdramatically that it made me laugh so hard and so loud that I didn’t notice the real drama behind it. The people from the island are really people from the other world, who are too stuck on the island and they are out on revenge. MUAHHAHAA. This also can sound good on paper, but in the anime: None of them really dies. None of them really gets hurt, and it’s just.. nothing. I mean, for gods sake! Someone crashed with a ufo into the enemy to save the others, and she doesn’t even die! How corny you can get. If someone sacrifises herself, make her die then. It looked so fake. Meanwhile, the climax is getting worse and worse. I don’t know if anyone who reads this has seen the Excel Saga. Well. I did. And after that, I have never watched a common anime climax ever since without laughing. And also here. It made me laugh so hard that I even expected the ’Puchuus’ to show up. The last episodes, even the translator got sick of it, and decided to add some sarcastic comments as well. This made the fun even more hilarious to me! 

To put it shorly: This is an anime, made for children. You can really see the moral standing behind it, trying to teach this children a lession about revenge and forgiving people. That really can be nice. But it doesn’t work. Because it isn’t realistic anymore. This is an annoying anime about a bunch of teenagers with nice powers, celebrating their holiday. And don’t forget: This is a really silly anime. I recommend this to anyone who is locked into a dark room for a long period with a computer and connected to the internet and sick with boredom.

Ouran High School Host Club review - 70/100


Ouran High School Host Club is a school/romance/comedy. Those three genres. The plot is kind of weird because Ouran High School is no ordinary school. It’s a school for extremly rich kids. And for some reasons, rich kids have a lot of spare time. With those kids, there is one club, formed out of the most beautiful men out of the school. They call themselves the Host Club and they are extremly populair. They entertain the ladies and they all have some profits in it for themselves. Add one girl into it, let her break a vase, let her don’t have the money to pay for it (8 million.. and come on, she is a special student so she doesn’t has the money) and dress her up as a boy and let her serve in the Host Club. And you have yourself an anime!

Ouran High School Host Club greatest point is the face expressions. Seriously, some times they just cracked me up with those weird faces. If the characters are in a evil mood, or just shocked or suprised, some really weird faces are on the anime. And that makes it more and more fun. One of the major bad points of this anime is that the creators use the same thing over and over again. The girl when she is sarcatic, in the first episodes, it’s fun, later on, it’s only getting annoying. And that’s the bad point. The creators don’t try new things but they stick to their old facts.

The characters are nicely done. True, there are some really annoying characters within and I don’t like the ‘moe-girls’. All the characters have their own problems and later in the anime, some nice character developments are done. I can’t other say. I didn’t like the manipulating guy but after seeing the last episode I did, the twins are in the beginning nice after that they are getting annoying, the little brat should be locked up in the kindergarten and his sidekick should have a bigger part. But that’s not all it. The president of the Host Club must be the biggest idiot you have ever met in your entire life. And that can be fun once in a while.

Every character has a episode of their own, but it isn’t logical because some characters have 5 episodes, and the other just one or two or something. This anime is also very cliché at some moments, and corny because the ending was the worst ever. But they do make up for it I have to say. And of course, with all these bishounen, of course almost everyone falls in love with the girl. That can’t be any different. Of course this anime includes yuri’s in episode 9. That was one of the greatest episodes ever. Some side characters can be fun too, but could someone please send Renge along to the kindergarten with Honey?

The music is pretty decent. The melody that is used to high up the tense is really nice. Overall, it’s average. The Host Club itself it’s too sweet and the fangirling was also some times too much. The art is decent, except the face expressions. Those are brillant. Just look at this one:

I guess I don’t have to say anything else.

Ouran High School Host Club is a decent anime. The humour can be really great, but with all these repeatments, it can be boring as well. I recommend this to anyone who likes comedy, and give it for a shot. It’s nice. Really.

Simoun review - 94/100

Filed under: Anime Reviews, Simoun


Simoun is a weird anime. Not because the anime itself is weird, no, because I decided a long time ago to drop it. Yes, after watching episode one in the Spring Season, I decided that I didn’t want to know anything else about that. That was an incredible mistake. Because, it turned out to be quite good! This Month, I decided once again to watch the first and second episode again, and I came to a discovery: the second episode is so incredibly good that I really got attached to this anime already. After that, we have some weak episodes, but when episode 10 comes, the fun really begins. And it’s getting better and better! I have one advice for everyone: Shut up and watch.

What is also the weird thing about Simoun is that you can’t describe it in a few words. I mean, this anime has yuri’s, it has feminism, it has war, it has science fiction, it has religion, it has heavy drama and so on. The nice thing about this anime is that it only conclude females. And the males that are in the anime, look like females as well. In this anime it’s so that every one is born as a woman and when people turn into 19, they can choose their gender. Unless you are a priesteress.

The character cast is just simply amazing. Of course, they are priesteress and they fly in the Simouns. We have something like 15 characters, and every character has a story of her own. As priesteress, they fly in the Simoun, which are considered as holy creatures, given by god. But they can also do remergions. A remergion is a drawn line in the sky, and when it’s done the right way, it explodes. The priesteress fight in the war, and they killed so many. This also gives in the question if it is good to fight this way.

Anyway, with the characters on the battlefield and everyone with a different story, it can go really dramaticly sometimes. We see people break down, completly, and it’s al so nice done that I couldn’t help feeling sorry for them as well. And yes, this anime made me cry. Once again. There aren’t a lot anime that can make me cry, but episode 19 really had me there. The main characters are also really, really nice. The ending really gave me a warm feeling. It was a great ending. In most of the anime, creators try to give it one more time and give everything they have in action or something like that. This action came in episode 22. After that, nothing much happens. But damn it, wat a great ending!

The art is INCREDIBLE, I’m addicted to the music, so the only thing I can say after this is: Shut up and watch. It will satisfy you, Simoun is a great anime that deserves to be in the spotlights.

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha review - 60/100


Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha is a quite interesting anime. The one moment I was really pleased that I saw it, the other moment I was annoyed as hell because of it. The plot is something like this: the elementary school attender Nanoha, on one day she finds a ferret. The ferret has a jewel on his neck and it appears to be the form of a mage that asks Nanoha to help him out. Nanoha accepts and that’s how she turned into a magic girl. She appears to be really good at it (Gosh, where did I hear this before?) and she decides to help Yuuno (the ferret) out of his problems. His job is to find Jewel Seeds, some magic stone and when it’s activated, its power is huge and it’s even dangerous. Yuuno isn’t that good in magic, so he is really glad for Nanoha to help him out. Of course, we have the bad guys. Fate. The girl that wants to have the Jewel Seeds because her mother asks for them. That mother is one crazy bitch, that’s for sure. I felt really for Fate. Fate almost seems desperate and Nanoha wants to become friends with her. This sounds nice on paper, but in the anime, it’s most of the time failing.

Why? Because Nanoha is overdramatic about everything and everything is recapped as well. It’s just a bit annoying with all those cheesy lines all the time. The friends of Nanoha, that’s even worse! When you think that Nanoha is cheesy, wait ’till you meet those girls. Damn it those two are dramaticly. And Nanoha has a weird defenition of the word friendship. Really, she has. Another problem I have with this anime is that kids from the kindergarten save the world. Bit weird though. They don’t seem like elementary school students at all, but they are! And the power of those ‘wands’ is a bit too strong sometimes. But it’s funny.^_^

Further the character cast is nicely done. Chrono was really funny and Yuuno was even more hilarious sometimes. And Amy, she was great. Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha can be good if they don’t take themselve seriously. More anime should do this.

I haven’t checked it yet, but this anime looks like a high budget anime for children that can be too dramaticly for their genre. The art is really nice, the music sucks (don’t EVER listen to the ED, you’ll get a headache) but they all have to learn on their English skills.

In a summary: Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha is an anime with a ridicilious long name and it is nice overall, but it’s has a lot of flaws. And Nanoha is just an annoying little brat. Fate is nice. I recommend everyone who is bored and who loves mahou anime. And for the weirdos that are among us.

Good Witch of the West Review - 78/100


This is a decent anime. But even so, I don’t know where I should start in reviewing. This anime with his 13 episodes, it’s short. Maybe, too short. Because of that, the anime has a real high pacing to go to all the episodes. With that, you can miss information and the story doesn’t make any sence anymore. There are all kinds of weird terms that even I can’t understand what on earth they are meant by it.  You can say that this anime has his good points and his bad points. I recommend this anime for everyone that wants to look at a great art anime. This anime has the beautiful art ever and it really shines in it. The colors are bright, many colors and it’s just beautiful.

This is a romance fantasy anime, with political influences. The story is about the young girl Firiel that has the right to become the next queen of a land that has a difficult name. And she is in love with a heathen that studies all kinds of sciences. The good thing about this boy, Roux, is that he has glasses. And that he can be seen as the greatest nerd ever, but even so, he remains her hero and he keeps on saving her and saving her. That is so cool. I’m a glasseswearer myself, and because of that, I’m called a nerd. He is so a nerd, but even so, the nerd is the hero. I just love that.

The major bad point for me in this anime is that the two maincharacters, Roux and Firiel, are the biggest adolescences ever when it comes to hold their relationship together. It can get a bit TOO annoyed in the end but finally they make up one episode before this anime ends. But I had really my annoynce tested with this anime. But even so, all the characters of this anime are greatly thought about it, and they have all their own story.

But, the music of this anime makes up for the adolescence thing. The music is just beautiful and can give a great point also for this anime. My thumbs up! The tension is created just by the music and you can really feel the atmosphere about it. Well, to put it together, everyone that wants to see a great fantasy story with romance, watch it, but pay attention because otherwhise you won’t be able to understand it. And everyone that can watch teenager love. I just can’t.^^

Noein Review - 97/100

Filed under: Anime Reviews, Noein


I was already addicted with this anime when I saw the first episode. That has never happened before. Noein is a great, wonderful anime, that deserves to be in the spotlights. But I won’t tell too much about the story, because this anime is great when you find everything out by yourself. This is a science-fiction anime, but then without anime clichés. That is the greatest thing of it. It’s about timetravelling, but it’s really difficult to explain what the situation in Noein is. That’s why I won’t even try because no one would understand it after that.


With some unexpected plot turns and heavy drama, Noein deserves to be classified with a really high score. The character cast is great, every character has its story on its own and it is all wonderful. In the beginning it’s focussing on the youth characters, but after that, it’s starting to get really heavy and the older characters have more and more a part in this all. Both parts are really inspiring. Haruka may look that she has to get rescues all the time, but in this anime, it works. And there are so much more parts that make up for it.

Noein has only 24 episodes, and so many great things that I won’t be able to name them all. The pace is overall a bit slow, but in the end, the latest episodes really scared me because I didn’t know what to do. It IS great.

Noein is also the anime that had me cry in episode three. Mostly of the time, this only happens with the ending, if the anime is really good. That it already happened so early is outstanding itself. Damn, I cried so many times during this anime, because every episode had me clunched on the chair and I couldn’t stop watching. Of course, I was frustrated afterwords because I didn’t know what would come after that.

And don’t get me started about the art. The art and the graphics look really awesome. It might be a bit messy, but it fits this anime really well. I’ve never seen such art and it’s really nice. Also, the music is just brilliant. The creators did a fantastic job in using this music right on the right moment. That makes you clunch on your chair even more. And at last: The figts. They are too awesome. Really. They are.

I recommend Noein to every living being. There. Shut up and watch it! If you like drama, you like science-fiction, you like anime, just watch it. The badguy may be a bit freaky, but damn I was moved when I saw this all.

Wolf’s Rain review - 45/100


Just a moment ago I finished this anime. An interesting note with that is that I started to watch this in Februar. It’s August by now. That means it took me half a year to get to watch it. And don’t get me wrong, this is not due to the problem of slow subbers. No, it’s because I couldn’t watch more then 3 episodes in the month. This month I have the record of 10 episodes. Hoorray for me. Anyway, the side note. Wolf’s Rain is well, you could call it quite interesting. The plot is something weird as well. According to this anime, humans are born out of wolfs. Yes. Wolfs are supposed to be death for 200 years, and there was no survival. Yes. But wait, there are! Those wolfs that are remained left, are heading for Paradise. A place only wolfs can open. Yes. With those quest, they need a Flower Girl (once again, Yes), that can talk and can sing and looks just like a human. Oh btw, wolfs are deceiving humans. Every wolf in this anime has two artstyles: One human, and one wolf. Then I keep on wondering.. How on earth this those wolfs get those shoes? If they are in the wolf form, do they have the shoes left? Because when they turn back, they have the shoes. But they don’t when they are wolfs. Just a small note. This may look good on paper, but this anime fails and fails.

The biggest problem in this anime is that the creators tried to experiment with the word ‘coincidence’. People or wolfs keep on running in to each other with NO reason at all. And this happens every episode, at least 5 times. And the fun continues! The creators meant all this horse crap serious. Even the lovers. This even becomes laughable at one moment, the legendary scene of a beautiful woman and a beautiful men running around happily in a flowerfeild. And this is meant serious. I don’t know if anyone here has ever watched Excel Saga? Well, watch that before you watch this because it will make this anime a lot more fun.^^ (I talk about episode 22, with the alien that reminded Hyatt when they were small, the same thing, only meant serious.) I would also like to know how on earth those wolfs can jump a distance of 30 meters without any problem. If anyone has the answer, please tell me.^^ Those wolfs are just as fast when they are running for like a month, without much food and drink, and they are moving just as fast as the space ships of the badguys. Yeah. There are a lot of mistakes in this anime. Wolfs get shot for really no reason and the next episode they are just as jumpy as always and like nothing happened. For one example.

And I haven’t even started about the predictability-level of this anime. Every episode you know what’s going to happen. At least 5 minutes before it actually happens. This can be a lot of fun, I have to say that. Episode 11 really made it laugh by it, that was the worst.

Also, the main characters. We have the lonely silent though dude, of course the annoying little brat (that really annoyed the hell out of me with his whining), the carefree guy and the punk. All of them are stupid enough to take the flower girl that needs water and light to survive to the ’Forest of Death’ (corny, isn’t it?), a place that has no water and no light, and are suprised afterwords that she almost died. That was the most stupid scene ever. And don’t get me started about the giant half blinded Walrus and the annoying know-it-all Owl. That was .. stupid. The side characters are interesting as well, an old man with a dog that hunts for wolfs because he hates them. The ironic part is that his dog is in fact, a wolf. Of course. We also have the work-a-holic woman and the divorced man of her. Duuuh. The reason that I couldn’t watch more then 3 episodes in the month is because of the old man because he can give me headache with his whining and drinking.

O btw, this anime has the record of not one, not two, not three, but 4 frigging recap episode. I really recommend to anyone to skip episode 15 untill episode 19. Or, start to watch episode 15 and skip the frigging rest that went before it. You won’t miss anything. Then the fun and the drama continues. The drama is btw really heavy, but it is so stupid sometimes that I really laugh about it.

But I have to say that when episode 27 comes that everything takes a weird turn. My explination for it is that the creators finally realised that every character had to die at least one time in the anime because he got hurt or shot or something, and the creators try to make up for it to kill off more then the half of the cast. For really no reason at all. That was also interesting. Episode 27, 28 and 29 are better written then the rest, untill you slap yourself on the forehead once again because you find out the direction the anime is going for the end. That is the most corny end ever.

Another small notes, this is a high-budget anime. The art looks nice, the music is nice. But I have to get over the scene where two parties killed of eachother and the last guy standing was killed by an armoury. Or so it looked. There are a lot of more mistakes during this anime, but I won’t name them all. I recommend this anime for one that wants to critize an anime, and for one that likes highlighted anime. And for one that is bored.

Pani Poni Dash! review - 90/100


Pani Poni Dash! Is one of the better comedies, it shines in it’s characters. Every episode made me so laugh, and it was just great. Pani Poni Dash uses much of parodies, that makes the situation even greater. And of course, every story in this anime, it just doesn’t make any sence. The main plot is the coming. Miyamoto Rebecca, or Becky, is a progidy, that had completed her study on M.I.T on the age of 10 years old. She went to Japan to teach in a high school, 1-C. The creators made an excellent job in her character, she is a spoiled brat that has the wonderful line to tell her students to not pick on her:
I’m the teacher you know! And a genius!
The only problem is, this line doesn’t work in front of her class.


The girls in her class are the following: The Forehead (Miyako), the Plain Girl (Kurumi), the Nice Girl (Rokugo), the Sarcastic girl (Rei), ‘Unable to Undestimate’ (Ichijo) and the Omega Maho Idiot(Himeko). Everyone of them has a different character and in combination they are all great. They want to have lessons of their new teacher, but they can’t help to fool around some times, and of course when Becky lacks of. Becky is one lazy girl, that’s for sure.^^ But even so, these girls aren’t always in the picture. When that’s not the case we see the teachers of the other class (Jiji, an alcoholist and a sportman), or we see the animals (The cat in the vending machine, the kero and of course: Mesousa), or in the other case, the persons of the other classes. There is a huge amount of side characters, and everyone of the sidecharacters has their own story and their own character. In combination, this means it’s a great laugh. And let’s not forget the aliens that are observing Becky. I don’t know why, but they are so funny, and of course, this whole situation, it doesn’t make any sence.

The episodes are all randomn, and all the episodes don’t make any sence. You can say that in every episode, the situation gets a ‘bit’ out of control. And that 26 episodes long. It is too funny, especially the little incident with the bus. That was just great. In this anime, something always happens. And it’s always weird.^^

The soundtrack is something special once again, and the OP’s are just great. Furthermore I recommend this anime for everyone that loves Azumanga Daioh and Excel Saga. This is just a combination of the two of them. The characters of Azumanga Daioh and the weirdness of Excel Saga, and here you are with Pani Poni Dash!

Jungle Wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu Final review - 80/100


They just can’t put an ending to this anime. Not that I’m complaining, but this Final, it could have been better. But even so, it was a great time watching. This version is only 7 episodes, and the weirdness continues. Of course, they are going to the city and Hale falls in love, with the nicest hypocrit girl.^^ At home, of course he has to explain to a REALLY upset Mari and the killer Yumi-sensei. And the rest of the episode, it goes and it goes.

We have the Father-Son relationship more at light, and that was really funny, the ending of the Yumi-loves-Hale-Arc, finding the kidnapped brother arc, of course, the continuation of the chest hair. And it goes on and on. The problem is that this continuation more serious is then Guu Deluxe. It was fun too, but well, Guu joking is so more fun. Robert was this version brilliant btw.

I really liked the last episode, because there you can see that this is not the end of ‘Jungle Wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu’. Namely: Weda is in the will of her father and she inhereted the whole fortune. So, her brother and sister were furious, so they targeted her. And Robert came, and it was just too weird. Especially with the assisant number one. I don’t want to spoil the fun, but metamorphoses can have a limit. Not here, though. The big cliffhanger was that Weda, Guu and Hale went to the city, to handle the brother and sister themself. Or, that’s Weda’s plan. Hale is just scared.^^

I’m looking forward to the coming arc, this can be fun.

Jungle Wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu Deluxe review - 84/100


The continuation of Jungle Wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu. This version only has 6 episodes, and that was the biggest problem with this anime for me. For the rest, I can not say different than anybody who loved Jungle Wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu also will adore the Deluxe version.


The story line with this version of Guu is the coming. Weda is pregnant. And we can all guess of who. And they are getting married. And of course, we have the reactions of Hale and so on. The six episodes are not all focussed on that, Weda has the baby in episode four, they are getting married in episode two, and the rest focus on the normal things: Chourou, Mari that wants Hale to like her and my favourite: Dama. She is WONDERFUL scary this anime. Also the time that Hale got drunk was nice to see.^^

The other thing that’s a little suprisingly is that Guu is far more sympathic this anime. In the version of Guu she was sometimes mean to him, but even now, she saves Dama! It’s so great to watch, even Guu can be weird, she is still a great person, but she just loves to have fun.

More can’t be said about this anime because the lack of episodes, just watch it if you loved Jungle Wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu!

Jungle Wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu review - 88/100

The jungle has always been nice, and then came Guu.


Name: Weda.
Age: 25
Likes: Binge drinking, alcohol, alcohol, sleeping, alcohol, more alcohol and being childish, letting her son doing all the housework. 
Dislikes: Work.
Rest: She came to the jungle when she was fourteen. She came from the city, lived in a rich family, but got pregnant, and her father rejected her and she went to the jungle.

On a day, the mother Weda brought to her and her son a girl that she found. The girl has no parents left and is allowed to live with Hale and Weda.

Meet Guu! The first day that she arrived, was just like heaven for the son. You have to face, Guu is very cute. They play some games and after a good day, Hale and Guu are going to sleep. The next day, when Hale wakes up, we see Guu once more.

Name: Guu
Age: Unknown.
Likes: ‘eating unusual stuff’, tormenting Hale, giving Hale a nervesbreakdown, irritating Hale, picking on Hale, confuses Hale, making Hale worry about a lot of things and making the situation even worse.
Dislikes: Unknown.
Rest: She has a big, great stomach, and some ’strange’ power.
Human: Unknown.


Name: Hale
Age: 11
Likes: Normal things, normal games, normal people, normal schools, normal homework, normal mothers, normal fathers, normal friends.
Dislikes: Weird things, weird games, weird people, weird schools, weird homework, weird mothers, weird fathers, weird friends, his father, cold.
Rest: Hale can be a bit rashly sometimes. He reacts too quick, which makes him an easy target for Guu.

When Hale found out about the other things about Guu, his life changed. Guu is for the rest of the anime always at his side, doing the most stupidest things ever, just to annoy Hale. And when I mean that, I mean everything! Guu has some times the tension to eat everything she sees, including Hale, and spit him out afterwords. Hale has so much to worry about, that it’s driving him mad.

This is the most fun thing ever seen, I’ve laughed so much about it. The only problem is that you can’t tell anything about this. The episodes are randomn once more, it is in a jungle, in a small village, and Guu is always making some trouble.^^ But the fun thing about it is, that only Hale notices what’s wrong and tries desperatly to make it normal once more, only encouragement for Guu to make the situation even worse.^^

You have to see this! It’s brilliant. The characters are great, Guu is just brilliance, the OP is catchy, the humour is great. After a while, even a storylines appears, and it’s great once more. The only thing that bothered me in this anime, was the ending. But well, we can’t complain, after this we are going to watch Jungle Wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu Deluxe, after that one we are going to watch Jungle Wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu Final. I hope that some of my questions are answered there, but I think that Guu will never be explained.^^ I recommend this anime to everyone that loves a great laugh, and loves humour!

The Melachony of Haruhi Suzumiya 60/100


What to tell about this anime.. First of all, the girl in the picture is Haruhi Suzumiya. A High School student. She hates humans because she thinks humans are boring and if anyone is a time traveller, an alien, or an esper, do please do so to join her. Sounds pretty weird, right? The other character is Kyon, the commenter of the anime. He talked a few times to Haruhi and at the moment she gets the idea at forming her own club and she has some nice methods to get her people in the club. The club counts: Haruhi, Kyon, Mikuru, Nagato and Koizumi. Guess what. Mikuru is a time traveller. Nagato is an alien. Koizumi is an esper. And there goes this anime wrong. They have all seen something strange about the girl Suzumiya, so they sent their own people to keep an eye on the girl. They also keep an eye on Kyon, because he is the one who started this mess. We’ve got a lot of things and names that I can not understand and a lot of really annoying monlogue, and so on. It is the fact that Haruhi wishes for something, it happens.

Well, I just can not understand why this anime is so populair. I would have loved if Haruhi was just a normal girl, but she isn’t. There is a big mess and it’s all just boring what happens. The reason for me to keep watching is because of Koizumi. I like that guy somehow, and episode 13 made me clear how that came. The other reason was because I believe that the art was just simply amazing. And because the anime got a catchy themesong^^.

When we got explinations of Haruhi’s behaviour, I was dissapointed as well. Haruhi is a pessimistic girl, the girl that is watching this is a born optmistic. I just can not agree with the things that made Haruhi like she is now, because she thinks that she is so small in the world. That can be right, but the whole world doesn’t matter. We just can not take on all the burdens and things of the whole world. You can’t be special doing that. But you can BECOME special in your own enviroment, to do things for people there, and be someone for them. To be yourself, then you’re special.

The humour was in the begin great to watch, the first episode was just brilliance as well. After that the humour gotten less, and the less got worse and replaced everything in drama that I could not understand. The climax sucks as well.

I recommend this anime for everyone who wants to see good art, a catchy themesong, and for pessimstics. I’m glad that I’ve seen this, but thank you, there will be no second time.

Jigoku Shoujo - 92/100

Jigoku Shoujo is one of those dramatic anime. And I can not say different then that I loved it. The plot goes like this: There is a website, and one who enters that site at midnight, and gives the name of his agonist, that person will be sent to hell. But there is a compromiss: When you enter a name, your soul will fall in hell by the time you die. Nice plot though. Every episode is with another hatred one, and with an agonist. Every time the agonist makes a beautiful fall in the hell by the Jigoku Shoujo, the Hell Girl. This Hell Girl is Enma Ai. And I love her. She is so sad, but, she is even so calm. And of course she has her helpers, the Hell Crew. Those characters I love too.

Every episode has his own drama, his own story. The stories I loved the most were the stories of episode 1, 12, 15, 16, 17, 20, 22, 23, and of course: The climax episodes. That is something I loved so much! Of course I’m not going to tell anything about that climax, because my opinion is that a climax is so much better if you don’t know what’s coming. All I will say is that the climax made me cry. Really cry. I just loved Tsugumi, Ai and Hajime. Because of the drama, and if you are moved by it, it makes a good anime. And when something really made you cry, you are so happy because you are moved that much by this.

The art of Jigoku Shoujo is one of the best arts ever. Everything is so beautiful drawn, and especially the art of Ai. She is such a beautiful girl. And also the sidecharacters who appear in episode 9 or something. I love them both too. Also a real pluspoint is the music. I LOOOOVE the music. It’s so Japanese-like, and still you can feel the tense in that music with the hatred and the agonists. It’s so moving, and I wouldn’t be able to be moved this much by this anime, if it wasn’t for the music. Everything just fits so perfectly.

This is my opinion about it. As some can see, I’m happy I saw this anime. I would recommend it to everyone, because this is a moving, decent (very decent) anime. If you are a human, or a alien, please watch it. You won’t be sorry.

Azumanga Daioh - 71/100


Azumanga Daioh is the anime on what Pani Poni Dash has based. For me, I’m a big fan of Pani Poni Dash, so I figured out that I should have watched this as well. This anime is about the class 1-3, the whole High School periode. In the 26 episodes that we have, we see the characters develop and grow and have fun. This sounds nice. I have only discovered two bad points about this. It’s friggin’ slow, and: it’s so normal. Even with some awesome characters, it’s still so normal, about a bunch of girls going to school. Even when I was in middle school, I had more that happened. The other thing that I was dissapointed by, was the music. But well, you can’t have everything, because I’ve wanted to see a decent school anime since I’ve dropped the amazingly garbage School Rumble.

The characters are sometimes really annoying, or they are cute, or they are awesome. The two that I really liked were Chiyo-chan and Osaka.

I told you, they are great. This after the moment that Osaka lost her shoe, because she threw it away. Chiyo is a prodigy, she is 10 years old when we meet her. And she is just incredibly smart and cute. Osaka is the nickname of the girl whose real name I’ve already forgot, and she is just so slow, and so weird. She has a really slow thinking proces, and everything she does is either slow, or it’s weird. Like the time that she wanted to wake up Yukari, that was just pure brilliance. The other characters are just plain. And one is so annoying that I won’t even mention her. The diet-girl, we have too, we have the coollookingcatlover, and the sporter. Plainlooking, I know.

But don’t forget the teachers! Nyamo and Yukari. They know each other from High School, but I have to say that Yukari is just a weirdo. She is childish, doesn’t like to take responsibility, hates to lose, and doesn’t want to work. She wants to drink.

Like I said. The other is trying to keep control about her friend, but she fails completly. Especially when Yukari reminds her that Nyamo is single and so on. It’s really funny to see, because sometimes there can really be a competition between the two, deciding who’s greater then the other one.

Further, this is a normal anime, with funny moments. Almost all the characters are nice, but there is a lot of repeatment, and a lot of boredom. But some moments make up for the whole anime. I recommend this anime to everyone just to check out Osaka. She is the saver of this anime, and she is such an idiot that everybody must like her.

Jyu Oh Sei - 65/100


Well. Well. Well. We have the first real anime which I was so enthousiastic about, untill episode 7. We could say that Karin spoiled the fun. The twinbrothers Thor and Rai, after discovering that their parents are killed, are sent to a unknown planet, where plants rule and killing is a common sence. They have to be though to survive, and the fact that the two are twins, doesn’t mean that they both are the same. No, Rai is weak, Thor is strong. And that is already decided on the age that they are both 12. Rai dies. Of course, and Thor remains on the planet to find out why his parents and his brother are killed. And to find out, he must become a Jyu Oh, king of the beast. The Planet Chimera has four Rings, with each Ring one leader, the Top. In order to become a Jyo Oh, all the Tops must be defeated and Thor must be the only one left. A kid of 12. And to pace up the anime, he has only 8 years to become a Jyu Oh. We all know that he will become a Jyu Oh, and suprisely, when he is 15. But don’t let me spoil more fun about it.

Our Maincharacter is Thor. We have two sides of the Thor: the young Thor and the adolescent Thor. I have to say that the younger version is simply brilliant. He understands his situation, he has strategy, he does everything to survive. And you don’t expect of such a small kid to conquer the worthrobe of the Ochre Ring. It was a great fight. Really. But, we have the adolescent version. And of course, he falls in love and becomes most utterly corny. It’s really a shame that it happened, I want that guy to be brilliant, not some kind of a idiot. It’s a real chance, but it’s wasted.
Our side characters are thank god a much better. At least, some of them. Chen is as boring as ever, and Zagi is so weird that even I don’t understand him and think he is a asshole, Karin sucks as well, but Tiz and Third are pure brilliance. Tiz is the sweet girl who always loved Thor and supported him, and she is so sweet, and strong. She is just one heck of a contrast, but it all gets better with it. Third is just unexplainable. Nobody can know what he thinks, but what he does, it works. And Thor always realises afterwords what is happening while Third set him up. He is just a dry guy, and I can not deny that I really laughed about it. It’s almost evil.

The drama is good, but it’s sometimes so corny. All those guys can think about is love, or having a child. None of them actually has a child, but it’s all they talk about. I don’t like that, but some of the drama, they can do that too. Let’s say it’s either good, or it’s corny.

What I really liked was the ending, how uncool is that when you find out the truth. I will remain silence about it, but it’s really something so depressing that I would have been in such a shock. And so do all of them when they find out. It’s nicely done.

In a saying, this is a decent anime, but let’s face it: Karin spoiled the fun.
