Nekomonogatari Black

Since this review is highly requested, I am going to make it quick rather than drafting it for a couple of weeks. The objective of this post will be quick and concise.

First of, I have to highly praise the opening of this anime. Probably one of the best opening I have ever seen. At first, I actually have problem finding the beginning main title, first picture. After several minutes, I finally found it. I was amazed how it is nicely integrated in the opening. Not only that, the director really does have a strong way of presenting emotional affect by using opening arts and images. Great render and integration! Opening is very well done.

If you are not familiar with the previous series, here is a great chance to look into them now. This is because Nekomonogatari is a prequel of the previous made series. I highly recommend you to look into the sequels after watching this.

Actor Hiro Mizushima (Zettai Kareshi - Kanzen Muketsu no Koibito Robot) will star in the live-action film adaptation of Yana Toboso's popular manga Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji) this year. Kentaro Otani (NANA) and Keiichi Satou (Tiger & Bunny, Karas, Asura) are co-directing the film. This will be the first time since Beck three years ago that Mizushima is starring in a film.Mizushima will play Sebastian Michaelis, a demonic butler with impeccable knowledge, manners, grace, cooking skills, martial arts, looks, and more. The all-original story of the film is set 130 years after the manga. The manga debuted in Square Enix's Monthly G Fantasy magazine in 2006, and its 15 volumes thus far have 14 million copies in print, including those published in 42 countries and territories. The manga already inspired a television anime series in 2008 and a stage play in 2009. It received the top prize in the shōnen manga category of France's Japan Expo Awards in 2010 and the Best International Manga Award in Germany's Animagic in 2011. The film will begin shooting in April. Mizushima previously played another eminently capable butler inspired by a manga series, Mei-chan no Shitsuji.

Hope everyone has a good expectation for this new adaption.
