Ousama (King's) Game (Anime)

Title: Ousama Game; King's Game


Anime/Manga: Anime

Date Aired: 10/2017

Ongoing/Completed: Ongoing

Season/Episode: Episode 10 (as of 12/11/17)

Genres: school, tragedy, drama, horror, mystery, supernatural, psychological

Opening Song: "Feed the Fire" - Coldrain


Ending Song: "Lost Paradise" - Pile

Plot Summary:
     A high school boy gets transferred to a new school and is completely anti-social to the classmates who are trying to get to know him. Soon everyone gets a text from someone called the "King" who makes unreasonable requests from the students of the class. Thinking it's a joke, they ignore the texts. Unfortunately, not following the King's orders are grounds for punishment and that punishment is an ugly death. It could be asphyxiation or even dismemberment. It turns out that the MC was the last survivor for the last King's Game that made him transfer to this school. Will this current class survive? Will he be the last one standing again? Or will this be his last King's Game?

Review:
     This anime is tough to get through. The reason it's so difficult is because one can lose themselves in the timeline. This anime tells the story of when the MC was in his class in the past or his first King's Game and in this present class. After receiving plenty of clues about the Game the 1st go round, (there is no preseason for this), the MC tries to stop the Game this time around with those clues from the past and current ones. His success can save lives, but how many can he save?

Opinion:
     Ousama Game is decent if you can follow along with it. Trying to piece the mystery of what the Game is about and who is behind it is almost a Scooby Doo chase, except people really die and the way they die is supernatural enough to not be Mr. Jones in a ghost costume trying to scam someone. Ousama is bloody, gory and depressing. Surviving is not for everyone or is it that not everyone can survive? Either way there are 4 rules:
                          1) All student in the class must participate
                          2) After receiving an order from the King, the order must be completed in 24 hours
                          3) People who don't complete their orders will be punished
                          4) Withdrawing from the game midway is not allowed
Think you can survive King's Game?

Rating:
I'll give Ousama (King's) Game a 7


out of ten.

Wortenia Senki

Title: Wortenia Senki




Anime/Manga: Manga

Season/Chapter: Chapter 

Release Date: 2017

Genres: Comedy, drama, fantasy, harem, romance, shounen, martial arts, action

Ongoing/Completed: Completed

Plot Summary: A high school boy gets summoned to another world by someone with bad intentions. He kills them, runs away and ends up saving female twin slaves. They swear loyalty to him and has magic abilities that defy the logic of his original world, however, he wants to go home.

Review: The storyline is redundant. Boy gets mysteriously summoned to another world that's RPGish (role-playing gameish). Even though it's a 'been there, done that' kind of theme, it doesn't stop it from being interesting, especially when the MC already knows how to fight. The character profiles are just coming together. There is enough information to give you a basic sense of how the personalities of the characters will come into play in the future.

While the art is slightly pointy, it's still not unattractive. Ecchi is everywhere and explains why harem is part of the genres, however, from what I I've already read, smut is not there...yet. Wortenia Senki does censor, but no surprise there. It's still fun to read though. Definitely look into this one, but go slow as it does take a while for updates.

Opinion: This manga had me asking "Who's Earth's god?" Wait until you get to this chapter! I have been following Wortenia since April and boy do I feel like a stalker...just kidding, but no really it takes soooo long to update. I wouldn't recommend binge reading for this one. By the time the next chapter comes out, you may have to back track to remind yourself what happened. Trust me on this one, you might want to take this one week at a time.

Wortenia Senki is not bad, it's pretty good actually. I wonder how this would look in an anime...

Rating: I give Wortenia 8 sets of twin slaves out of 10. Enjoy!

Distancia ~ The Untouchable One ~ (Manga)

Title: Distancia ~ The Untouchable One ~


Released Date: 2016
  Genres: Supernatural, romance, fantasy, drama, romance, harem

Ongoing/Completed: Ongoing

Plot Summary: A young girl is invited to stay the summer at her grandmother's house after accidently burning down hers. Once there, she encounters an eccentric witch, who happens to be her grandmother and a family of werewolves. All may have a crush on her, but who will she choose?

Review: This manga has good character profiles, not strong and that's because Distancia is still fairly new so the characters personalities have yet to be shown fully. Maybe later?

The illustrations are beautiful. The artist decided to use color and what a good choice that was! The romance had just started to heat up. Jealousy had just reared its ugly head too. No, not that head... This is not ecchi or smutty. Think fairy tale romance.

The storyline is not completely there. If one had to guess (without spoiling too much) the storyline would be; a girl comes across a new situation in which she meets and falls in love with someone. If that is the case, Distancia is not all that original, but that's alright. This manga does give some freshness to the genre and it's well worth your time.

Opinion: Distancia is still in its infancy. Technically speaking, I don't think a week has passed in the storyline. What has been released wets your appetite for more. It's not smutty like most of the other snimangas. It's pure innocent romance. You know, like a fairy tale girl meets boy. Also, this manga is in color...SCORE! Not many are (except manhwas) so this was a very good find.

Rating: So far, I give this manga 9 howls out of 10. When I finish it, this rating may change, like the phases of the moon...

Seikon no Qwaser (Manga)

Title: Seikon no Qwaser



Author: Yoshino Hiroyuki

Released: 2006

Genre(s): Action, adult, ecchi, drama, school life, mature, romance, shounen, yuri, supernatural, breastmilk

Completed or Ongoing: Completed

Plot Summary: This was a complicated, yet beautifully intricate story of two sisters who got involved in a battle for humanity. A religious war between the Catholics and Orthodox had begun. The end goal is to find out the real truth behind Jesus Christ. People named Qwasers have powers that needs to charge by sucking women's breast(s). What they draw out of suckling is something called soma. A type of strength giving force; mother's milk I guess?

Not all Qwasers are "good" or "evil". Maybe misunderstood or extremists is the better term. Seikon no Qwaser had so many betrayals that you will second guess who is on what side. Or, if there is even a side at all.

Review: This manga was great. The romance between the characters was a little frustrating, but worth the wait. Even the side characters' relationship developments had to work for their love interest. I don't usually give the plot away and I still won't now, hoever, if someone asks nicely, I may put it on my blog (or vlog), My Animanga Cray Show where I discuss the chapters or episodes of my usual genres.

I have read in the comment section (on the site that I read the mangas on) that my fellow otakus were lost. That's why I say Seikon is complicated. But, I will break it down, but sgsin, only if asked. Seikon no Qwaser is well worth the time. I recommend you go slow as soon as you get lost. 

Opinion: I didn't know this manga had an anime until I was surfing for a pic.As I was reading Seikon, I kept thinking that this should have been an anime too. The storyline, however, is so tricky and unbelievable that I understood why some readers got lost. That is not including the amount of adult, ecchi, romantic, yuri, content included. 

Have you ever watched a show called CrashBox on HBO? They had a segment on the 15 minute show called Distraction News. In this segment ,they told a fact while a shit load of random things popped up all over the screen while she was talking. At the end of her lecture, they asked a series of questions to see how distracted you were. This manga used breast, violence, and rape, sex, S&M, etc as distractors, thus preventing you from following along with the story. Don't fall for it! The story is good!

It was also extremely religious and "historical" (<= depending on which way your beliefs lean). Giving up any more than this would give the twists, secrets, and surprises away. It is well worth the time invested though.

Rating: Everything about this manga rates high for me. Storyline, character development and profile, its genres levels, and illustrations. In terms of originality, it may have been done before, but I haven't seen it. This ended up being one of my favs, (Kaikan Phrase being my #1) so I hope that the anime doesn't disappoint. 

I give this manga 9 soma drained titties out of 10. You won't feel bad wasting your time on this one

NeW tErMiNoLoGy AlErT!!!!!!!

breastmilk: Some animangas have lactating women, This is means that when she gets her breast sucked, milk will squirt, or leak...depending on the author and situation.

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!
