Assasination Classroom (Ansatsu Kyoushitsu)

Anime: Ansatsu Kyoushitsu

Summary: A humorous and action-packed story about a class of misfits who are trying to kill their new teacher – an alien octopus with bizarre powers and super strength! The teacher has just destroyed the moon and is threatening to destroy the earth – unless his students can destroy him first. What makes things more complicated is that he's the best teacher they've ever had!

My Take: It wasn't as gore-filled as the title suggests. It is a pretty complicated plot as said in the summary. It is definitely an anime you would want "dedicate" to especially if you like action/comedy mixed anime.

Should this battle have ended another way? (Dragonball Super)

  I know I am late when it comes to this topic but I just wanted to talk about it, should the Zamasu arc have ended differently? It was already a major shock to see Trunks  unleash Super  Saiyan God Powers but to kill Zamasu, he uses a Spirit Bomb, gathered it into his sword and slices up Zamasu (Ignoring the events after with Zeno- sama obliterating the Universe aka Zamasu).

  I understand that this saga was focused on Future Trunks but seriously, did they have to throw out the last piece of DBS logic me and other fans were holding on to. I don't mind Trunks landing the last blow but at least make it understandable. I would be perfectly fine with Vegito owning Zamasu and in the last ditch move Zamasu does a technique that overpowers Vegito and requires Trunks to step in and end it. 

But what do you guys think? Is the way the battle ended fine? Could there have been a better way? Is it pointless to even try to use logic and DBS in the same sentence anymore?

All Out!

Hey guys, exams are over and I am ready to get back to blogging about anime. To start off we have the anime All Out!

Anime: All Out

Summary: The day of the entrance ceremony at Kanagawa Highschool... The story starts when the timid but unyielding Gion joins the rugby team. His classmate, Iwashimizu, who can’t get into rugby because of something happening in the past, the vice-captain, Hachioji, who looks out for all of the members, and their captain, Sekizan, who is more passionate and intense than anyone... All of the members are completely different, but they all keep growing on this battlefield known as youth. Once they give it their all, the ultimate stage awaits them!

My Take: To be honest I had no interest in watching this anime because rugby is a foreign sport to me. However, during this kind of dull vacation this anime was quite entertaining. Persons who have watched Kuroko no Basuke and Haikyuu, many of the season in this anime resemble scene from those series. It is the kind of anime where you follow for a while before  the protagonist really starts to blossom, but there is plenty of action along the way. (Currently has 11 episodes).

Kaitou Joker

Anime: Kaitou Joker

Summary: The thief Mysterious Joker doesn't just steal things. An audacious and elusive miracle-maker, he travels the world searching for treasure with his partner and cook Hachi. As they circle the globe, they must avoid traps set by the police and compete in various competitions to reach their final goal, the Timeslip Treasure.

My Take: This anime is more of a back up anime (you know, for times when there are no new episodes for your main anime and you are dying of boredom). It is comedic, interesting, has a decent amount of action and adventure. However like I said its more of a back up, so you can check it out while you a waiting for new episodes of you favourite anime. BTW: the anime is on its fourth season currently.

WILL THIS GUY EVER BE RELEVANT? (Boku no Academia)

Minoru Mineta, is one of the most pathetic heroes I have seen in Boku no Academia (the anime because I don't read the manga). His so called ability to produce sticky orbs combined with his perverted and crybaby nature makes for one sad superhero. I will acknowledge his little superhero moment against the villains but he basically tried to show off after Midoriya had done all the work. In the second season, (manga readers try not to spoil too much for me) is there any significant improvement in this guy after the time skip, or is this going to be another Yajirobe (DBZ), that's like a one hit wonder and just fades away?

P.S Sorry for today's anime question not being as good as the last two, I am very busy this week.

Haikyuu

Anime: Haikyuu

Summary: A young boy named Hinata Shoyo dreams of becoming a great volleyball player. When he joins a high school team Karasuno, former champions but presently a low ranking team, he encounters different players with various strengths. Together, they face several strong teams in pursuit of becoming champions once more.

My Take: This is one of the top three sports anime so far!! Right next to Kuroko no Basuke and Diamond no Ace. This anime has 3 seasons and rightly so , it will make you want to play volleyball. With its exaggerated effects on the regular volleyball scenes, a great plot and character development, you can be easily hooked onto this anime even if you aren't a volleyball player or sports lover.

WHO SHOULD HAVE SURVIVED? (Akame Ga Kill)

Hey guys, today we will be looking at one of my favorite war/revolution anime; Akame Ga Kill. One thing that made this anime so emotionally heart wrenching for me, was the fact that any and everyone was expendable, that includes the main characters. Despite this fact, there were some characters that we really thought deserved to survive the revolution (aka not get killed off) so...

Q. You get to save one of the characters in the picture from dying, who would you save?

A. My answer would have to be Takumi. Despite being the protagonist of the anime, he lost his lover and after he died, Esdeath froze her body with his so that they could 'be together' forever (#psycho). After all he went through in the anime I think he is the most deserving to survive the revolution.
  Also although Mine is dead, Takumi and Akame had the potentially of getting together.
So what do you guys think?


Note: Second to Takumi, I would choose Susanoo, Mr. Reliable :)

Magic Kaito 1412

Anime: Magic Kaito 1412

Summary: Kaito Kuroba is a seventeen-year-old high school student who is an adept magician due to the influence of his father, Toichi Kuroba who died mysteriously. Eight years after his father's death, Kaito discovers a secret room in his home that was set up by his father to reveal itself on that very day. Finding Kid the Phantom Thief's gadgets and costume in the room, Kaito dons the disguise and decides to confront Kid who has recently resurfaced after his eight years of absence. Kaito discovers Kid to be Konosuke Jii, his father's butler, who ascertains Toichi was the first Kid the Phantom Thief. Jii reveals he took on the role as Kid to lure out Toichi's murderer. Upon learning that his father was murdered, Kaito continues the role of Kid the Phantom Thief as he searches for his father's killer.

My Take: This is a short anime series but it is super awesome!! If you like magic tricks or are interested in magic or just want to be mystified, check this anime out. It has  a Robinhood kind of atmosphere because  Kaito is stealing gems for a righteous cause (to find his father's killer) FWI he returns the gems (he is not a villain). It also has a bit of comedy with how he alludes the police. It is also suspenseful because every episode has a trick that has you craving to find out "How did he do it?"

AOMINE VS AKASHI ONE-ON-ONE (Kuroko no Basket)

Ok Kuroko no Basket Fans, I want to hear your thoughts! One on one, first to 21, Akashi vs Aomine, who wins?

I have to admit, Akashi seems like the obvious choice, but I just have this urge to support Aomine. So I am going list each of their specialties and at the end please comment, contest my facts, give me feedback.

Aomine's Skills:

1) Has super fast reflexes.

2) Is the most explosive player in the KnB World.

3) Can enter the Zone by will.

4) Has his street basketball dribbling as well as irregular shooting, which makes him almost impossible to read.

Akashi's Skills:

1) Has his Emperor's Eye which can be used for both offense and defense.

2) Has high caliber dribbling skills.

3) Can break ankles with ease (even break knees)

4) Can enter the Zone at will.

Now let's focus on their zone:

SO WHO IS YOUR CHOICE?

Gosick

Anime: Gosick

Summary:   In the early 20th century, Kazuya transfers to a prestigious academy as part of an exchange program between Japan and Saubure, a small European country. But while Kazuya would love to make friends and have a typical school life, the boy is shunned by his ghost story-loving peers who believe that he's a "Black Reaper" to be feared. Things change one day when Kazuya wanders to the top of the library and discovers a lush botanical garden, and a beautiful, small, blonde-haired girl named Victorique who rarely leaves the building and is fascinated by unsolved mysteries. Together, the two develop a budding friendship and take on many chilling and dangerous cases that even the famous local detective Grevil can't solve.

My Take: This is a short anime only about 12 episodes or so, but if you love mystery, especially murder mysteries this anime is worth checking. Victorique (the girl in the picture) is  the detective while, Kazuya (boy in the pic) is more like an errand boy. Fans of Detective Conan, this is like a back-in-time female version of Edowaga Conan. The story may start off as just a simple mystery solving anime, but as it progressive, you see that the plot gets tangled with the past of Victorique, the conditions of that time ( because this is dated just before World War II) and by the end , you will wish that there were more episodes.

WHO IS SAE? (Sousei no Onmyouji)

WHO IS SAE?

Hey Bloggers and anime lovers, here is my anime question today from the anime "Twin Star Exorcists" (Sousei no Onmyouji): Who is Sae-chan?

  Now we know that Sae-chan was found by Rokuro and the other exorcist in Magano....on a panda? (Don't know what a panda is doing in Magano but that's for another time >.>). Sae never really explained anything about herself, so she is a total mystery to the exorcists but Rokuro and Benio take her in as their 'daughter'. However with the recent episode 28, we might have some new info on Sae. *SPOILER ALERT*

In the latest episode posted today, we see some sort of tree which seems to contain large amounts of spiritual power. Later in the episode, Sae-chan tries to protect Benio  and releases a power similar to that coming from tree, so the to a definitely related. 

 

My Theory: Sae-chan was created by the tree.

It explains why Sae-chan doesn't call Benio "Mama" because the tree is like her mom/creator. It also explains why Sae-chan has a connection to Kyoto because that's where the tree is, so its technically her home.

  As to why Sae-chan was created, why was she in Magano, is she related to Kuranashi, I don't know?

Sousei no Onmyouji

Anime: Sousei no Onmyouji


Summary:
 Grotesque monsters known as Impurities reside in Magano, a realm parallel to the present day. Exorcists purify these evil apparitions to protect the people. Rokuro Enmado is opposed to becoming an exorcist, even though he has the talent to be one, but an oracle gives him the title of "Twin Star Exorcist," the name bestowed upon married exorcists. Benio Adashino, the girl who receives the title along with Rokuro, is determined to exorcise all the Kegare, or Impurities, in the world. The two find themselves wrapped up in more and more battles together as the Twin Star Exorcists...


My Take:
  This anime is pretty awesome, especially if your love romantic/action/comedy anime. The backstories of the two main characters (Rokuro and Benio both just 14 years old) are deep. Through the strange and abrupt encounter with each other and as their fates are intertwined by this title of "Twin Star Exorcists", they conquer the individual pasts together. Basically, its action packed, drama filled anime and I encouraged you to at least check it out.

WHY THE HECK IS FUTURE TRUNKS SO STRONG?!

 Hey guys!! On Wednesdays I will be posting questions I have on different anime, and I want to hear your thoughts. Today's anime question is; WHY IS FUTURE TRUNKS IN DRAGON BALL SUPER SO STRONG?

Before you tell me that his reality has been so life threatening (having fouught Cell, the Androids, and other strong adversaries), I accept that fact but in Episode 61 of DB Super, Trunks released some sort of GOD FORM!!


Now can someone tell me how is this even remotely possible?! If Trunks can release a god mode, is it then fair to say that all of the Saiyans (Goten, Gohan,etc) have the capability? How has Trunks obtained this new power, despite never ascending above Super Saiyan 3 (I wonder the same for Vegeta but let's not go there) ? Is he some sort of missing link to the Super Saiyan God Form?

Trickster: Edogawa Ranpo “Shounen Tanteidan” yori

Anime:
   Trickster: Edogawa Ranpo “Shounen Tanteidan” yori

Summary:
   Kensuke Hanasaki meets a mysterious boy named Yoshio Kobayashi who, for reasons unknown, cannot die though he wishes for death. Curious about this boy, Kensuke invites him to join the Boys’ Detective Team and their work around the city. But danger awaits and their fate will lead them down a dark path.

My Take:
  This anime is pretty new, only two episodes so far, so there not much to say right now. In terms of origin/backstory, its kind of vague but because of its vagueness, it has you very interested in the mysteries surrounding Yoshio who is unable to die, the Boys' Detective Team and the city itself. If you love anime with mystery and the supernatural you should really check this one out.
