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.

Live Action Black Bulter Film?

On Tuesday, AnimeNewsNetwork announces an adaption of Black Bulter series. Hiro Mizushima who also filmed Zettai Kareshi will play as Sebastian Michaelis. We will see how he will perform in this series.

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 shĹŤnen 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.

Detective Conan (Movie 16): The Eleventh Striker

Who is not a fan of Detective Conan? I believe many of you might have watch or heard of this show before. I have always be an fan of Detective Conan series. When I heard there is a new movie of Detective Conan Movie coming out, I am overjoyed. I had high expectation for this movie. However, after I watched it, I was a little bit disappointed because there is no serial murder involved. I still miss the joke "Wherever Conan goes, people die." That besides, the movie still managed to pull out a great show even out serial murder. There are constantly some hilarious scenes that really are entertaining and funny. Both comedy and mystery are happening at the same time is what really make the movie more enjoyable.

I really like the beginning scene. It started with huge explosion that really drag me right into the story. That had my attention. I am a huge of fan of dramatic scenes.

Winter 2012/2013 Anime PV

After looking at most of the Anime PV next season, I will have to make some serious change in my first glance recommendation. It is not because the anime PV is bad, but because of my wrongly judgement in Neregate's picture in the first place. That's why I always suggest people to look into certain genre and art style before making their first impression. In this post I will demonstrates why I made certain changes in my recommendation list and something you might look into yourselves as the new season is upon us.


I will still recommend anime that is going to reason their sequels despite of the fact that most people will ready know the quality of the anime from its previous seasons. The reason for that is I want to let the reader to feel open to more anime series because the others might or might not have seen them. I always encourage people to try out new anime series since I always says, "There is no bad anime."

Here is my recommendation along with the PVs.

Savanna Game

There is no current release date or PV yet, but I am postive it is something to look foward to.

Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru

Genre: Romance, Comedy
Get enough romance and comedy? It is here for you!

Senran Kagura

Genre: Action, Ecchi, Comedy
Looking up something that will blown your head off with Ecchi? Every season has its own Ecchi and the next season will be this! Prepare for the ultimate seasonal Ecchi!
Just in case if you are look into the game for this.

Genre: Fantasy
There are not much serious anime the next season. But if you are really looking for one, here you found it! Even though I don't find the art style that great, but I am still looking forward to this one.

Ever imaging you found yourselves in a strange world to meet up a shoujo with rabbit ears? Here is some serious comedy that you guys may really like.

The first two D.C. really impress me. This is something that a lot of people have been expecting. The wait is long and it should be good!
I found the opening instead

Cuticle Detective Inaba

Genre: Comedy, Mystery
Mystery detective story hasn't been around anime a lot, but it is always there. Cuticle Detective is here with some comedy and mystery for the fans!

Amnesia

Cenre: Shoujo, Romance, Advanture
Even though there is not much knowledge about this yet, but the story line description seems to be interesting. The main protagonist without knowing her identity trying to find out what's going on with her relationship. That's something appeal.

Vividred Operation

Genre: Bishoujo, Sci-Fi
Everybody loves bishoujo no matter the gender is. This is something that intrigue people with both beautiful girls and Sci-Fi story. Enjoy the show.

Love Live! School idol project

Genre: Idol
If you are a fan of anime dance or anime idol. This one will the one that you will need to pay close attention to. This anime has high anticipation from a lot of fans already. There are even few short dances and songs you can look up on Youtube. I have to say that I am pretty impressed by those short dances and songs. This is one of the highly anticipated anime next season. Hope you will enjoy the show.

I listed out all my recommendations. And it is now for you to choose and explore!

Some tips that you will want to look into:
