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!

Hakushaku to Yousei

Title: Hakushaku to Yousei




Anime/Manga: Manga

Season/Chapter: Chapter 15

Release Date: 2011

Genres: Fantasy, shoujo, supernatural, romance

Ongoing/Completed: Completed

Plot Summary: There is a legend that states that anyone who possesses the blood from the Earl or ruling lord of the fairies is entitled to a sword that is proof of that bloodline. However, if you are a fake, let's say a thief, then your body will wash up on the shore. There is word of a fairy doctor who is not only knowledgeable in the way of fairies, but who can also see and hear them who may be the key to solving the puzzle of the sword. Who is this fairy doctor and how will she be able to help when fairies don't exist?

Review: The storyline is appealing, but it leaves you hanging. Maybe there should've been a better ending then this if the series was going to be discontinued? Maybe the author was unable to continue with the series foe personal reason. I don't know, but this manga is worth finishing. The illustrations are beautifully drawn and attractive. The female characters don't wear sexy or skimpy clothes in this manga because of it's timeline around the Victorian Era.

The characters' profiles are aggravating. My favorite characters are the fairy doctor's partner and the Earl's butler. Everyone else has me bagging my head against a wall. I'm also not sure about the MC relationship. I do appreciate how the author includes both female and male perspectives, which is why their relationship is frustrating. No smut, no ecchi, varying degrees of romance and no need for censorship. It seems original to me, but I could be wrong.

I think Hakushaku is worth reading, but be prepared to be unsatisfied. Like I said, something is missing.

Opinion: Hakushaku took me by surprise. 1) I didn't expect it to end the way that it did. 2) The storyline was fascinating, but left me dangling over a shark tank. Are they going somewhere with the character developments? 3) Where is the rest? I know they couldn't have ended it with just chapter 15, right? I heard there was an anime, maybe I'll make time to find and binge ... we'll see.

Rating: I give Hakushaku 8 brownies out of 10. There really should've been a continuation or at least a more complete ending.

Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records

Title: Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records



Anime/Manga: Anime

Season/Chapter: Season 1

Date Aired: 2017

Genres: Action, fantasy, magic, school, comedy

Ongoing/Completed: Completed

Plot Summary: A lazy man gets talked into taking a substitute position for a professor at a magic academy. Within hours, the students hate him because he doesn't teach and seems to only get lazier as the days progress. One day, the school comes under attack and this lazy, good for nothing professor seems to be the only one who can do anything. People are not always who they appear to be. Is this professor any different?

Review: The characters' profiles in this anime are complex enough that the 1st season doesn't 100% explain everyone's mysterious past. Towards the end, however, you do get a little taste of their past that makes you want to continue on with the series. The animation is good and there is plenty of action and comedy to keep this anime interesting. There is no smut and maybe a little ecchi, but not enough to categorize it as ecchi.

The same goes for romance levels. There may be a slight harem element to it only because the MC is a professor who turns out to be a hero in disguise. The ladies (student, staff, etc) can't help but be enamored and the men (staff, not so much students) either envy him or hate him, and some may have a little bit of both. The storyline is a little complicated, but if you stick with it, it will be worth the time and effort you've invested in it. I am unsure of the originality of Akashic Records' storyline because I don't normally watch teacher animes.

No need to discuss censorship as there is nothing to censor.

Opinion: Season 1 is completed and binge worthy. Akashic Records takes you by surprise as you start to love the laziness of the MC in the beginning. The relationships between this teacher and his students are touching and it has a Mighty Ducks, Bad News Bears, or for you newer generation, cheering for the underdogs kind of feel to it.

For the sake of not spoiling too much, I'll say to watch it and find out what I'm talking (writing) about.

Rating: I give Akashic Records 8 late-study hall assigning professors out of 10.

Shinmai Maou no Testament (Season 1 anime)

Title: Shinmai Maou no Testament


Date Aired: 2015

Genres: Action, ecchi, fantasy, harem, romance, shounen, smut

Ongoing/Completed: Completed

Plot Summary: A teenage boy with a dark past is told by his father that he now has 2 sisters to look after. Later, based on all the supernatural events going on, you can say that there's a lot more to these girls than meets the eyes.

Review: Shinmai Maou has a twisted, edge-of-your-seat driven plot that arouses your attention and senses. Many secrets are revealed and no one can or should be trusted. There may be other animangas with this intricate storyline, but the way Shinmai hides various details and with how they tell the story, is in a class of its own.

The animations are gorgeous. The artists used a lot of shadows to emphasize how dark this anime can get. Each character has varying degrees of smut with the MC. Each character forms a master-slave pact with the MC in which everyone in the pact can get stronger, however, ecchi things must be done in order for the pact to activate. The personalities of all the characters were unique, distinctive and clearly represented in how they act around each other and the MC.

The levels of ecchi, smut, and romance are high. The uncensored version was released so this anime will not rate low. Just considering the desire for uncensored makes this anime a bit more enjoyable and worth watching.

Opinion: Why did this anime slow down after Burst (season 2)? I'm still waiting for season 3, to explain that ending... This anime was so good that I'm already thinking about the next seasons. Watch the uncensored version because the censored version is all steam (literally) and you may want to turn the volume down. There is definitely a lot of moaning and screaming that will wake the neighbors. Take your time with this anime. There is enough smut and ecchi to make your nose bleed.


Rating: I give this anime 9 nosebleeds out of 10 and only because...WHERE THE HELL IS SEASON 3?!?!?

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...

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!

Trinity Seven (Anime)

Title: Trinity Seven Anime
I don't own this pic, but it's soooo cool!
Date Aired: October 2014
 
Genre(s): Comedy, harem, magic, fantasy, ecchi, romance, school, shounen, supernatural, biblical, action

Completed or Ongoing: Completed

Plot Summary: A young boy ends up surviving the end of the world to awaken to another world. In it he ends up meeting 7 powerful witches (all females, of course). When enrolls into their school, various events occur in which he fights to prevent the destruction of this world.

Review: The characters personalities and relationships meld very well together. For a harem, it is important that each character to have a strong relationship with the MC (main character) and each other. A little rivalry isn't bad either, but a complete dislike for all harem members is a turn off. The illustration is what attracted me to this anime in the first place (sorry, but I know my biases) The animation had clean lines, nice colors and breasts... Leading on to the smut. Very ecchi. Romance has to be there and the relationships the MC had with the eight (hint hint) was again, strong. The storyline is beautiful and can get confusing, but if you were following along you would be asking yourself "where's season 2?" There are plenty of mangas that have magical harems that save the world, so this storyline isn't 100% original. For example, Shinmai Maou no Testament, Seiken Tsukaino World Break, Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut, and Masou Gakuen HxH (check out the blog for HxH) to name a few. It doesn't mean that it doesn't bring a certain freshness o the genre. With all the ecchi, harem, and romance the question got to be what is censorship like? Well, it is censored. I'm sure there is an uncensored version, but I haven't seen it. The funny thing is that Trinity Seven is censored to make you think that it's not censored. When the clothes rip, they are either ripped strategically or something conveniently covers them. This anime is worth watching. If you decide to binge watch this anime, it would be time well spent. 

Opinion: OMG, this anime is sexy and smutty and just the way I like it. if it wasn't for the censorship it would be at 100, but it is not and I don't care. The storyline more than makes up for it. The powers each character possesses depends on what sin they stood for. Yes! This anime is slightly biblical in that it references the 7 deadly sins: lust, greed, envy, pride, sloth, wrath, and gluttony. Each of them are experts in their respective sin and has to portray the opposite of their sin, so lust is "virginal". This is one manga you would hate to miss.

Rating: I give this anime 9 ripped panties out of 10. Just because of those censors. Damn you censors!

As always, I do not own this image!

NeW tErMiNoLoGy AlErT!!!!!

Biblical: Any Christian/Catholic-based or bible-based animanga. Heavy on the Jesus, God, crosses, bibles, and biblical stories, characters, plots, etc. Seikon no Qwaser was a choice between biblical or breastmilk...guess who won?

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




Once again, I don't own the image.

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.
