Vividred Operation Episode 1 Review

Anyone who like loli like I do? or You are just here to enjoy the cuteness and the story? Whatever your reason is, I believe it is one that is positive. I have been waiting for this to release for quite awhile now. Even though I have already known the basic story form the PV, the animation doesn't disappoint me at all. I enjoy this anime a lot. I have high hope it is going to be one of my favourite anime from this season.

The character design especially the clothing/custom is very moe. Almost like I am peaking under the pantsu!

The great scenery of the BLUE is just elegant. One that can be almost be pictured as an utopia of the future city. Definitely a great design! The angle and colour affect is almost flawless here. It really make a great image of an ideal sky view.

Bleach Movie 4 - Hell Verse

I just recently watched the one of the latest Bleach Movie Series, Hell Verse. Although the Bleach anime has ended, I still think Bleach is a nice appreciative series. Despite of the fact Bleach really lengthen its anime story with a lot of unnecessary side stories, it still have some real nice episodes. This probably the reason that I wanted to look into their big project which objective is to impress the audience within a certain time limit. In this case, the movie really does a great job in an overall impression. Although some of the parts of the story still need more improvement, I will give this movie 7.5 in a 10 grade scale.

Many of you may be impressed that I am rating this anime. It is not because I want to be critical and judgmental of the work, but because I want to go into details of this particular animation. In this post, I will constantly be discussing what are to pros and cons about this particular movies on different aspects. I do hope that you will enjoy this post.

The movie starts with some unwelcome enemies attacking Ichigo's school and family. Fortunately, Ichigo and his ally are able to counter and put on the fight with the masked enemies. However, Ichigo and his friends are pretty unsuccessful in fighting enemies with unknown power and abilities. This part really does disappoint me little bit and I have to complained about the sound affect here. The sound affect just doesn't match the mood and the current situation. It is kind of odd to see some enemies beating up the protagonist with some rock music affect. It is not only the music, but also the action as well. The action is just a little to slow. I feel like I am watching almost everything in slow motion. I found that awkward and weird.

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.

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 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.

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.
