Sould eater Review and New Daily Anime Releases

Soul Eater, is a new series starting and all I can say is WOW!!!... it is an irreverent show about a group of shinigami and their weapons. They stop demons from eating human souls because if enough of them are eaten the demon will become the Kishin who will end the world. The Shinigami are student at the shinigami university which trains up and coming shinigami to become true shinigame with a death scythe and become very powerful. To do so they must collect souls of these demon and the scythe eats them and gains power once they have collected 99 demon souls and 1 witches soul they are promoted.

The show starts off with meeting Maka, and Soul her scythe collecting their 99th soul and then going after a witch. Now this show is absolutely hilarious but at the same time has some of the best action sequences I have ever seen. That girl and her scythe are awesome... they tear it up and she never even breaks a sweat. The action sequences look like well choreographed hong kong fighting scenes. She wield that scythe will impeccable skill and grace. The witch turns out to be some trouble for the two but she is hilarious using her feminine whiles to taunt and tease the scythe who when not working he is a just a regular "cool" guy. Especially since he jumped through the witches window right into her bathtub with her and all her "boing boing" glory.

The comedy is great, the action is superb and plot and story seem very interesting with a lot of potential. I have high hopes for this one.

Series End's for a few shows! Daily New Anime Series

Well Rental Magica and a few other shows have come to an end. Its always bitter sweet to see your favorite new shows end after a measly 12 episodes but on the other hand your excited for whats coming next and praying for a second season.

The ending for a few of the recent series, felt a little empty. Not really resolving anything. Only creating more questions. It's almost as if they are setting up a second season. But most of them don't seem to have anything slated, so if they never do get picked up we are left feeling unsatisfied.

Rental Magica is a prime example they have all this mystery and questions where is his dad what other secrets are there with astral, and various other things. So whats gonna happen. I have heard nothing of a second season but maybe I missed it somewhere or I'm not looking hard enough.

Anyways, Here is saying good bye to what was and hello to what will be.

Daily listing are hard to keep up with sometimes, so dont get too upset when I slack off cause of RL stuff. Being a father and husband limits my time for daily blogs. But I will try to do my best and be consistent. So please continue to visit and check my daily listings and thoughts on current anime and new stuff coming soon.

Rental Magica Review and New Daily Anime Releases

Rental Magica is pretty good better than when I first reviewed it. The characters are flashing out well and the story is starting to take shape. The son of a powerful magic group that rent out their abilities to clean up and fight magic pollution and paranormal incidents has suddenly been thrust into the manager of the group when his father disappears. Although he has no real power or knows anything about magic he has a special eye which grants him the ability to see magic and read it. However his eye has become possessed by a demon and is tearing his body apart from the inside. He is slowly learning to use the eyes power for his own ends and to help his team instead of being a burden to them. His cast is made up of a ghost that they rescue a Celtic mage and a few traditional monks.

There are some great love triangles and sub plots in the series that are very interesting and seem to be maturing rather nicely. I find the main focus of the story to be filler exploring the backgrounds and past of the cast and their motivations for what they do and why they joined the group. But it all seems to be leading up to something much bigger and I can't wait for it. The characters themselves are well done and interesting. And I do enjoy learning about where they came from I just hope it relevant in the long run. But something tells me it's just filler.

Anyways here is today's listing;
Minami-ke: Okawari . 8
Shakugan no Shana II . 19

Thanks and enjoy the shows!!

Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro​ Review and New Dailyn Anime Releases

Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro​ is a series about a demon who eats mysteries, after eating all the mysteries from the demon world he comes to earth to solve and digest earth's mysteries and he enlists the help of a young girl who's own mystery is haunting her. Her father was brutally murdered in his own house in a locked room. The police claimed it as suicide but the truth is waiting to be found.

The show is great mystery novel fun, try to solve it before he does. Although the writers tend to give too much away too soon. (the show is 30 minutes after all.) But it is enjoyable how he sets them up and unravels things. The idea of a high school detective who seeks out mysteries and solves them and nobody even bats an eye at this cracks me up. It so outlandish and over the top. The criminal turning into some kind of crazed monster once cornered is icing on the cake as if its their true nature. I think the characters are fun to watch and the slap stick humor is pretty darn good and comedic timing is excellent. Over all its a fun show to watch just don't expect a lot of suspense and drama. It's more comedy than horror mystery. But it does get gruesome I mean most mysteries are about murders some more horrific than others but generally the show tends to keep the mood light.

The idea of a demon who eats mysteries is quite unique and interesting and that's pretty much what got me watching in the first place now I stay for the comedy and humor. he is just to funny how he toys with the humans. Good fun to be had for everyone.

And now for the best part of everyone day the listing;

Hatenkou Yugi Review and New Daily Anime Releases

Hatenkou Yugi is a pretty interesting show with some pretty good dramatic undertones without being massively preachy or taking itself too serious. Our hero this time around is a woman who is cast out and told to travel the world. She find herself some travel companions promising them they would never be bored. As they travel they look for work doing odd jobs town to town saving the day using her magical abilities and her companions brute strength and talents. All of them hoping one day to find answers to the questions that have brought them here in their lives.

This is a pretty interesting show but i often times feel like they rush episodes, like the story is big enough for a 3 parter but they rush through it to get the whole thing done in 30 minutes. Which takes what would have been an exciting show and turn it into a fast food version. While it doesn't taste bad its not exactly healthy for you. The characters are interesting and mysterious as you try to figure out their past. The over all story is about revenge and betrayal, so dont expect anything too light and most of the story subject matter is kind of disturbing at least a few have been the kind that you say. "oh my god they actually went there." People die in this show and not nicely either in one show a kid is taken and chopped up for parts of some kind of new Frankenstein retelling. The show ends with the distraught mother wandering around still trying to find him. For anyone with kids thats just gut wrenching.

Here are todays new daily releases;
Spice and Wolf . 8
Kishin Taisen Gigantic Formula . 22
Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn! . 67

Rosario + Vampire Review and Daily New Anime Releases

Rosario + Vampire, what a great fan-service show. Lots of gratuitous pant shots and breast "boing's" this show was written as a fan-service show it seems. For harem lovers this is a dream come true. A regular boy who failed getting into any high school is suddenly sent to a new school after his dad found a dropped application form. On his way to school that day he encounters a girl and they get to know each other as she shares her story about past school experiences and they become best friends on the spot. Sealed with a "kiss" on the neck.

Later during class he suddenly realizes as the teacher explains that the school is for monsters to learn how to assimilate into the human world that he is the only human on campus and everyone around him is a monster. Even his new found friend.

As he tries to make a run for it and leave his new friend tries to stop him since she will be lonely but they are attacked and he is saved by the girl after unsealing her powers by removing the rosario around her neck that seals her powers. She turns out to be a super powerful vampire chick. But heck what guy can resist the charms of a bi-polar vampire chick who is fawning over them. Needless to say other monster chicks start falling in love with our hero as he decides to stick it out. Lots of fun an humor saturates the show as each episode introduces us to new crazy characters and more love rivalry and mystery about how this human ended up coming here in the first place.

If you enjoy the harem shows or plain ecchi humor this is for you. While not exactly original it is fun and entertaining and heck whats not to like about hot succbus, loli witches and stalker ice queens. With a vampire thrown on top. C'mon you know you like it. Just admit it and enjoy the show.

Spice and Wolf Review - New Daily Anime Releases

Spice and Wolf - if it wasn't such a nicely animated series I would almost expect it to be some kind of educational program about economics. Every episode they go into how economics works and how to use it to get filthy rich. The dialog about this is often nicely placed and relevant its just way to over the top. And distracting from the story. I mean give me a break. The guys is traveling with a wolf god who can take on (cute and fox girl fetish) human form with dog ears and bushy tail. She is the "great and wise Horo" who wishes to travel north to try to find her comrades after the people of the world have begun to no longer worship and rely upon her for harvests. She hooks up with a traveling merchant who just can't help but constantly talk about trade and economics. If not for Horo this show would be absolutely boring. She often lends a light-hearted-ness to the dialog and keep things moving.

I would recommend it for economics students as a interesting way to learn economics as for anime fans it may often be boring and wordy but the characters are developed well and you get a general sense of the relationship blossoming. It interesting at times and boring at others. But who can't help but love the fox ears and tail. If only she was a little more buxom and less loli she would be perfect. (What can I say I dig the ears and tail.)

Anyways here are todays new releases;
Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro​ . 10
H20 - Footprints in the Sand . 7
Shigofumi . 6
Hayate no Gotoku! . 42

Persona - Trinity Soul Review and New Daily Anime Releases

Persona, is a fairly new series and I am enjoying it a lot. At its current pace I am guessing it has a fairly long run. The story is about two young boys returning home to live with their older brother who is police chief. Only to find he doesn't want them there and they soon discover why. They discover they have the ability to call out these monsters from inside them. And use them to fight an organization who is trying to steal them from people resulting in some horrible consequences.

It's got good characters and story and I am hoping the pace picks up a bit cause some episodes seem to drag on needlessly. But if other than that it has nice action, characters and story is seemingly intense with some "oh crap!" moments.

Todays dose of daily new releases;
Spice and Wolf . 6
Naruto: Shippuuden . 47
Kimikiss Pure Rouge . 18 - this series has been surprisingly good.
Hakaba Kitarou . 4
Blue Dragon . 24

Ayakashi Review and New Daily Anime Releases

Ayakashi - This new series is almost identical in concept to Persona which is also out right now. The idea is a group of people have the power to control ayakashi. But in so using them you must pay a price. Usually its through your body. Losing your eyesight, ability to walk or your mind. One boy who lost the love of his life a while ago has a certain power that a group wants to control with the hope of stopping the physical degradation of the host or at least thats what they say.

So far its a very interesting story but it seems to feel rushed and random at times. I often feel like I am missing some part of the plot almost like I missed an episode or two of the story. I am not sure if this is by design or if this is just a crappy writer. But it often leaves me scratching my head. The idea is cool and the ayakashi are awesome and interesting. It is often a very graphic story with lost of death and dismemberment so not for the feint of heart.

I just can't get excited for the main hero. He just seems like an ass to me that I can't just love and root for. He often just randomly gets pissed and suddenly he has super powers from his ayakashi. It seems the ayakashi has influence over his personality and this may be why he drives me nuts. But they could have handled it differently so you have a better idea of who he is VS. his ayakashi's influence. Even with these problems I still enjoy watching the show and hope that things get tied together in the end. Fingers crossed.

Here is the list of daily new releases;
Persona - Trinity Soul . 6
Moegaku*5 . 1
Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino . 5
Emily of New Moon . 19

Ghost Dog Goodness and New Daily Anime Releases

I was just sitting here thinking today how cool this series is. It has some great character development. Deep mystery and exciting action and thrills. And it does it all without going over the top and crazy. It's almost believable.

Where I live there are not many anime fans so I often have nobody to chat with about my new favorite series. So I created this blog to help me reach out to the community and find friends. I download and watch anime pretty much all day everyday. I work from home so I have the luxury of being able to do that. I am pretty excited about this seasons shows rosario + vampire is becoming one of my fav's. It's silly but it is fun. The comedy of it makes me laugh quite a bit so i recommend it. But please note it is a harem anime so lots of ecchi stuff. As a guy I don't mind a healthy dose of fan service every now and then and this show delivers.

I have actually started collecting figures or I should say my wife bought me some. They are kind of cute little statues. I wonder why they don't make more action figure type ones that are posable. I think that would be cool. But the details on them are amazing.

Here is todays listing of new anime - these are new releases so enjoy.
