Re: Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (Anime)

Title: Re: Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu


Genre: Action, adventure, drama, psychological, fantasy, thriller

Ongoing or Completed: Ongoing

Plot Summary: An otaku dies on his way back home on one of his "must survive or die" days of going out. Only difference is that he dies on his way back home. He somehow gets reincarnated into a role playing game kinda alternate world. This is his adventure in a world where he receives a special power. The power to restart his life whenever he dies.

Review: This anime starts slow. If you have patience, unlike me, you could catch the spark of why this anime is one of the hottest of this season. Amazingly, it went past the usual 12 episode rounds. Last I checked it was on episode 20. Sorry guys, but I could not invest anytime into this one. If I had liked it more, you would have had a better review.

Opinion: The reason I decided to watch this anime was because I'm also interested in the psychological animangas. This is out of the scope of themes that I wanted to review for this blog, but I see some spark over this anime and I can't help but to join in on the fun.

Some animangas don't last long for me. The first time I watched this anime, I was confused. I actually stopped watching it at episode 5. It just got annoying to go through what the character goes through when his power first presents itself. Some people call it redundant, but I'm an anomaly.

Rating: This anime theme has been done before. It's kind of a hard theme to pull of so I do give the makers kudos for catching fire. It's just not my cup of tea. The beginning is what can make and break a lot of animangas with me. The storyline/plot, character likeability, and an interesting conflict can really set an animanga into a firestorm. Sorry with all the fire analogies. It's a heat wave on this side of the planet and I'm feeling it hard.

I give this anime a 3 out of 10. Like I said, it wasn't for me. I stopped at episode 5 and skipped around episodes 13 and 14. Then I peaked at episode 17 then called it quits. I tried. I really did.

If somehow your taste in animanga is along mine, than don't waste your time. Other than that, watch at your own risk. I may give this anime another try, but it won't be anytime soon.

NeW tErMiNoLoGy AlErT!!!!

Adventure: it is a genre in which the main character goes on a journey in a new world. Kinda like a role playing game. You know, Final Fantasy? Chrono Trigger? Dungeons and Dragons? I mean the title loosely translates to "Starting Life in Another World". Can it get more obvious than that?

Thriller: animangas that evoke strong feelings of suspense, anxiety, etc

Trash. (Manga)

Title: Trash.


Author: Yamamoto Kenji

Genre(s): Action, adult, drama, yuri

Ongoing or Completed: Ongoing

Plot Summary: This manga is about 2 assassins who are hired by a crime boss. So basically this is about the jobs they take on and the shit they go through to complete their missions.

Review: This manga is so not for kids under 18. Honestly, I would say 25 since people are still influenced before this age. There is a whole lot of killing. I'm talking blood and guts displayed in a horrific, gruesome, terrible way. There are rape scenes as well. Some with a dick and some with other objects. A lot of this killing and gruesome activities revolve around high school students. The graphics are decent, but the updates are slow. Maybe I should switch manga sites? 

Opinion: I got hooked. I'm not sure why, but I did. This manga was so violent and so not what I expected. It took me by surprise with the amount of guts I've seen. If you've seen Gantz, this is something like that. I wouldn't recommend this for the faint of heart. If you're not in to this kind of stuff, don't waste your time. If guts and rape mixed in with a whole lot of violence is your thing, then this would just be mild compared to the other similar things you probably read or watch (like Gantz)

Rating: Trash. is very adult. It doesn't disappoint. The drawings are good and detailed. The character developments are crazy as we are still trying to understand Bullet's past. The storyline is following their daily lives, which happens to be accepting new missions to kill various people for their mob boss. The chapter endings are probably what keep me enthralled enough to continue. So be on the look out for this manga. If it ever becomes an anime, WOAH!. They better not skimp on the violence, guts, or blood. And it better be uncensored.

I give this manga 7 spilled intestines out 10. 
I decided to give this a graphic rating, so what!





As always, I don't own these pics.

Masou Gakuen HxH (Anime)

Title: Masou Gakuen HxH




Date aired: July 2016

Genre(s): Action, comedy, ecchi, harem, fantasy, school, romance, scifi

Completed or Ongoing: Ongoing


Plot Summary: A teenage boy is invited (by his sister, who is like the principal) to attend an all girls school. In this anime, mankinds hope of survival rests upon how much love this boy can develop among 3 of  the elite members of the protection squad. This anime is extremely ecchi, borderline smut. It's on episode 4 as of this post and if they go any further, it would be really be smut.

As of now, I'm looking for the manga. If anyone has seen it, let me know. 

Review: This anime has both censored and uncensored episodes. I watched the uncensored and I must say I was thoroughly surprised and pleased. The storyline and character development are just starting. It's hard to say. So far, the characters' pasts seem complicated and mysterious. I like where it's going even though it focuses very heavily on the groping, teasing, sucking, etc. Interested yet?

Opinion: A whole lot of groping, fondling, and nipple action. This is way more ecchi than Shokugeki no Soma. If you watch the uncensored version that is. This anime does seem weird because in order for the world to be saved, girls must be groped. I don't think it's too bad of a power. If I was the MC, I would grope everyone. "Hey, don't get mad. Me groping you will make you live longer and give you amazing powers that you wouldn't have gotten if I didn't cop a feel." This is almost as bad as that anime where it tells the MC guy that all women secretly want to be raped so they turn him into a serial rapist.

This anime isn't bad so far. It's only on episode 5. I like it, but it's not on my top favs list.


Rating: I give this anime 6 out of 10. The drawing is good. The storyline needs more work. The characters still needs more time to be properly understood. The ecchi factor is all the way up. I don't think it can get any higher. If you're looking for a great anime, this isn't it. If you're looking for fan service and groping, you've come to the right anime. Just make sure you're watching the uncensored version though.
