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!

Yuri!!! On Ice (Season 1 Anime)

Title: Yuri!!! On Ice

Date Aired: Oct 2016

Genres: Sports, comedy

Ongoing/Completed: Completed

Plot Summary: A Grand Prix finalist had lost one of the biggest contests in figure skating. Feeling defeated, Yuuri gains weight and stops skating as much. One day a friend asks him to perform a 5-time world champion's routine, in which (while fat) they record and post. The video goes viral causing the champ himself to become Yuuri's mentor and coach. Will Yuuri be able to regain his confidence and become just as great, if not greater than his mentor?

Review: The animation is not bad and the storyline is easy to follow. If figure skating men are your thing, then this anime will not disappoint. The movements animators have drawn for the characters' routines are smooth and not as stiff and not as stiff as one would expect in a dancing anime (Discoteque just popped into my head... deep emotion, deep emotion [Rosario + Vampire]).

There is no ecchi or smut, or even any type of romance (there might be 1 or 2, but it is subtle that one may miss it). The characters' profiles explain neatly why the figure skaters do what they do, what their passions are, and what their end goal may be. There are many comedy sports animes out there, this anime is not very original. However, Yuri!!! On Ice has enough appeal to be extremely popular.

This anime is for everyone who likes comedy, sports animes, everyone else, steer clear. This anime was not meant for me, but I want to be fair. I will not watch the movie or the next season.

Opinion: Like I said, I wouldn't watch it again or watch either the movie or the 2nd season. My sister is into the anime and I told her I would write a blog about it. Honestly, I expected stiff movements in the animation, but this was fine, actually better than that. Nothing is wrong with Yuri!!!. It's me, not Yu(ri!!). Damn, it sounds like I just broke up with an anime.

Rating: I give Yuri!!! 5 triple axels over 10. Again, very neutral...

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!

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.

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

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.

As always, I do not own this image! Also, the pic is from the anime, not the manga...
