Seven Deadly Sins (Season 1 anime)

Title: Seven Deadly Sins

Date Aired: 2016

Genres: adventure, ecchi, comedy, action

Ongoing/Completed: Completed

Plot Summary: In an era long ago, a war was waged within a nation. Conspiracy is in the air as the kingdom gets divided between the Holy Knights and the Seven Deadly Sins. Which side is good and more importantly, who will win?

Review: Seven Deadly Sins is more than what the title makes it out to be. The characters' profiles are whimsical and refreshing. It's interesting watching how the characters develop as well as how the storyline develops. In the beginning, you're thrust into a dilemma. Who started the war and why? The animation is pleasing, especially when it comes to the action scenes.

The fight scenes draws you into the anime even more. The ecchiness is used more as comic relief than anything that a 13 year old couldn't watch, honestly. Because of that, censorship comes in as comedy. Adventure animes usually start in similar ways, however, the storyline plus characters may make this anime an original in its own way.

Seven Deadly Sins is definitely worth watching.

Opinion: WOW! I had heard of this anime from an old friend when we were talking about Trinity Seven. It took me until my visit to my sister's house for me to watch it. We decided to binge watch anime for my blogs and 7 Deadly was the only one my son wanted to keep watching. I will warn you that I had no way of knowing that there was going to be a whole lot of innuendos, groping, panty snatching, or nudity (barely and briefly).

This anime is funny and keeps you begging for the next episodes.

Rating: I give 7DS 9 breast squeezes over 10.

Lilith's Cord (Manga)

Title: Lilith's Cord

Released Date:  2016

Genres: action, smut, romance, ecchi, adventure, fantasy, supernatural, shounen, biblical, school life, adult

Ongoing/Completed: Ongoing

Plot Summary: This manhwa is based on biblical characters such as Adam and Eve. It also includes demons called succubi. A man, the MC, stumbles onto a succubus and is infected by her. His body becomes possessed by a male succubus, one of the most powerful succubi to exist. How will he continue to live his life and what plot has he stumbled on that may affect the outcome of existence?

Review: Lilith's Cord is so smutty and so ecchi that the storyline gets lost. There is no way to not lose focus because sex is everywhere. It's part of succubi culture afterall. The summary I've read suggested that the succubi where from Adam's 1st Eve and that the male MC is from the 2nd Eve, or is he?

This manhwa is ongoing and takes a long time to update. This really is an over 18 kind of thing. Lilith's Cord is in color and the only things they censor are penises, the entrances to the vaginal canal, and booty holes. Sweaty bodies and bodily fluids from all genders don't get censored. Nipples, however, are fair game.

Obviously the ecchi, harem, and smut is extremely high in this manhwa, maybe even higher than Trash, so readers beware of where you read this one. Manhwas are pretty out there and I didn't expect the censorship. It kinda dulls the ecchi that is this manhwa just a bit. This manhwa could be an original, but I highly doubt it. Leave a comment below if you can find a manhwa, manga or manhua that has a similar storyline.

The characters' profiles were strange and mysterious. One is never sure what they're thinking when various events occurs. I am still unsure of the personalities so far. Everyone has a past that slowly unravels as the story progresses. The art is good, but the relationships between the characters can get confusing. It should make for some interesting reading. I will definitely continue to read this.

Opinion: This book is basically porn. Reading it in a crowded area may get you a few, comments, looks, wet and may be a hard on. Again, it is censored a bit. Anyone who knows anything about sex will blush when they decide to read over your shoulder.

Lilith's Cord has an interesting storyline that draws you in. It is just getting started so the characters, storyline is not 100% developed yet and it is slow in updating. I will continue to read this one because I want to see where it goes, who is the succubus possessing the main character, and what is the 1st Eve's role in all of this? And... why are there 2 Eve's anyway??

Rating: I give this manhwa 8 sexual assualts out of 10 and boy there sure are a lot!

Tales of Zestiria the X 2 (anime)

Title: Tales of Zestiria the X 2

Aired Date: Jan 2017

Genre(s): Action, adventure, fantasy, role-playing game

Completed or Ongoing: Completed

Plot Summary: A continuation from part 1. Sorey and friends continue to find and purify malevolence and hunt the source of calamity. This series gives a preview into the background of why and how calamity came about this time around and its possible defeat.

Review: I didn't review part 1. This anime is based on the game, if you have played the game, I have heard that while the anime is not that far off from the game version, it still gets it wrong. I have not played the game (I want to though) and will one day. There are references to Berseria because from what I understand, that is the prequel...(I guess that could be consider a spoiler???). This anime had its moments and surprises. If you have ever played anything from Tales, some events may even be predictable. The storyline is not very original for the series, although the characters profile is good. Each has their own secrets and it gets slowly revealed as the episodes progress. No ecchi, no romance, and definitely no smut, so censorship need not apply. The animation is the same as the game. I have no issue with it. On if it was worth watching, that depends on whether you are a Tales fan. Everyone else, may not like it.

Opinion: This anime wasn't bad. It does vary from my usual genres, but I have been a fan of Tales since Symphonia. When I heard that there was an anime, I could not pass it up. Honestly, there isn't much to say about this anime that needs mentioning. Watch it and make your own opinions, but by me telling y'all to watch it, tells you that at least it is watchable. If you want more action, look elsewhere.

Rating: I would give this anime 7 out of 10. Like I said, it is watchable and may make you want to play the game, but if you want more action, go somewhere else.

As always, I do not own this image, but apparently Illuminate Minami owns this one.

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
