The stage is Ayanagi City, a city near the Japan Sea. It is a futuristic city that was built to carry out the recovery from the calamity caused by the "Apathy Syndrome" ten years previous. High school student Shin Kanzato with his little brother Jun, meet with their elder brother Ryou, who is the chief of the Ayanagi City Police, again after ten years. At that time, a series of strange incidents happen in Ayanagi City such as the crew of a submarine that suddenly disappears while in their submarine, or a spiritless symptom which disturbs the world after ten years, or the case of the inside out corpse where a student took on a cruel appearance. Ryou tracks down the organization behind the string of incidents, and having become involved in the incidents, Shin awakens the "Persona."


A little overview with this series as I wasn't too keen on it, for me people went all about persona, and I adore persona for those who played the games like I did. This series is very lacking if people are looking for persona vs persona fights it only focuses on the story. 

Dont get me wrong, it was a slow paced anime but to me it didnt decipher persona in general. I love the characters and animation it looked really fluid and dark. Because it only focuses on the story the whole colour palette was somber which was fine. I would have liked more of course as it was confusing it didnt grasp me but other people may like it. 

overall for me it wasn't to my taste the animation is what got me interested more though so points to that. the music suited atmosphere of the anime. Give it a go if you feel like in a dark mood that is.

After signing a contract in which he "accepts his fate of his own free will," the main character battles with the other members of SEES against the Greater Shadows, incarnations with traits and appearances similar to those of the first 12 Major Arcana of the Tarot. While this is occurring, he continues to encounter and eventually befriends the child who gave him the contract to sign at the very beginning of the game, an entity who refers to himself as Pharos, and is really the incarnation of Death, the 13th Arcana.

I really enjoyed this one, it was different compared to the first one. the storyline was outstanding to me, the characters all have unique personalities which are proven through the show of course. If anyone played the actual game they know what goes on. 

The animation this time wasn't to my liking but I didnt mind because the story made up for it. The show is about an ordinary guy who has to save the work, having bold teamates created good battles. Power of friendship is very evident in this series compared to the first one I talked about. The music suited the movie in general the manga was also strange but you might grow to like it like I did.

Persona 4 takes place in a rural town named Inaba. There have been mysterious murders occurring whenever there was fog after heavy rain. There were also rumors about a channel on television airing only at midnight called Mayonaka TV, during which it is said that one can see his/her "other half" when staring at the TV screen. 

If you think the movie was great, this is another great comeback for Persona, this time it involvess a TV! how bizarre but in general I think this is by far the best one. Its probably the best video game I have played so far I mean series wise its really good.

Because its similar to the game the animation for the anime is the same, its clean and sharp and very vibrant. The characters are really interesting and very lovable. For me the action scenes are what makes persona 4 the animation. The music itself really suited the show as its quite the same from the game really not much change but if you like the game you would like this then.

The anime is a very faithful adaptation of the game and I am very pleased by it. I am glad that its quite similar as well and I really enjoyed the characters in general too, for me it was plus point. I dont want to talk too much about it but you get the gist. You either played and loved the game you would love this too, but if you haven't, you must give it a try.

Overall I would like to say I am generally surprised by the adaptation of the show in general. But would like to point out that persona 4 was my fave anyway. I really enjoyed watching all of the shows though so I wasn't too bothered by it, so for those who have played the game will enjoy the shows I am sure but for those who still haven't and would like to give a go to the show then make sure you have popcorn!

I shall leave with a couple of songs ~

PostHeaderIcon Monogatari Series ~ (’-’*) フフ



Type: TV
Status: Finished Airing
Producers: Aniplex, Shaft, Kodansha, Aniplex of AmericaL
Genres: Mystery, Romance, Vampire, Supernatural
Duration: 24 min. per episode
Rating: R - 17+ (violence & profanity)

The story centers on Koyomi Araragi, a third year high school student who has recently survived a vampire attack, and finds himself mixed up with all kinds of apparitions: gods, ghosts, myths, and spirits. 

Where do I start, the monogatari series is probabaly the most intesnse, confusing but very much lively series you could possibly enjoy and be enteretained with. What I mean is, it's hard to just pick one to describe so I joined the ones I could or have been released and talk about it.

SHAFT" once again shows us their ability to create both a product and a masterpiece. The Monogatari series, in its entirety, can be considered a piece of art. However this piece of art may not be everyone cup a tea, It deserves to be watched by everyone. 

The monogatari series are great with intense action and intricate story lines custom made for every character.The main characters of 'Monogatari' are among the most unique and complex I have yet to encounter.
Senjougahara Hitagi is a tsundere like half of all modern heroines in anime our protagonist, as expected, is rather on the masochist side who takes constant verbal abuse from Senjougahara.Fanservice has always been a bit of a controversial issue. Some love it, some hate all instances of it. There's really no way to please everybody when the reaction can often be like or not liked.

The art work was abstract to the point where it probabaly may confuse people but it was intense, I really enjoyed watching the show because the creation towards the art was supremely good. Lovely line and form, vibrant colors and a superb art of storytelling await as you continue to delve into the tales surrounding Koyomi Araragi and his friends. I wasn't too big of the sound department some may like it but some may not of course im in the dont section it wasn't so bad though.

Overall, I would like to point out that majority of the time you will be lost in the translation they do talk very very fast. In fact I was a bit lost as well, so your best option is to keep a open mind and just understand as much as possible. You need to understand that you have to give this show a bit of time before you continue at first you may think what the hell it is as a reaction. But it is not a problem the witty dialogue and intriguing characters that the previous Bake and Nise have already established. I still think overall the whole series it's a great thing to be watched, I am a huge fan of Hanekawa I still think she deserved to be with Araragi but you know the creators. It's not so bad, but I think for me the most awesome was Hanekawa and her stories along with his sisters but each to their own.

So here are some music I will leave you with, if you havent it's a must watch so get to it! ~

PostHeaderIcon Soul Eater ~ ソウルイーター ~ o(^^o)(o^^)o

Set in the Shinigami technical school for weapon meisters, the series revolves around 3 groups of each a weapon meister and a human weapon. Trying to make the latter a "Death Scythe" which is the highest title for a weapon and thus fit for use by the Shinigami, they must collect the souls of 99 evil humans and 1 witch.

Soul Eater is probabaly the most amazing Anime to watch. It's a Anime with great characters and plotline its so original it hurts. 

The story starts off with Maka and Black star and Death the kidd. Three main meisters who help the shinigami world. This is probably the most unique story I've ever seen and read. The Manga does so much more justice than the Anime.There is a deeper story within Soul Eater and it grows in each episode and Manga. Let me just say how I generally felt when I saw that the Manga had ended for me that was a turning point. It was sad, it ended with a good note but I've waited so long for more, I enjoyed the development of the Manga to the point where I couldn't stop reading. The Manga explained things in more details and showed things more than the Anime. 

But the Manga ended now, its' been a long time I remember reading it the first time and I fell in love with it. Now that it ended I feel like a era had ended. A piece of me will always love and remember Soul Eater i wanted so much more with this show I wish it continued. The downfall of the show was not showing Maka's mother I mean not even a glimpse we could have seen who the other holder was. I wont give too much away but if I were you I would totally read it. Its a great manga with a lot of action and individual moments, like Black star and Tsubaki moments, along with Patty and Liz and Kidd moments. It was sweet, the best relationship I enjoyed like everyone else was Soul and Maka of course but the side characters kind of blew me away in the Manga. They were just as important as the main thats what i loved about Soul Eater it was a all rounder. Its a shame it's ended though I would have hoped more would come like most shounen but it's good it ended on a good note rather than dragging.

The Characters are all vibrant and very much interesting with different unique styles Black star is probably the most strongest and cutest character alive, along with Death the Kidd and his symmetrical views. I'm totally in love with the Grim reaper he was hands down the best. The Animation is different which as a Illustrator I love I think its pretty cool the way the creator did the art and so forth. Its all strange and amazing the scenery are interesting and I love the fact that the moon and sun are so weird looking. The songs are so memorable and the plot line extends to a point where you have to love it. 

overall, Soul Eater is underrated with some people yes the Anime didnt do that much justice to the Manga but in one set its probably awesome still. I love that there was no fillers and that it kept up the consistency of the show itself. The Manga was the same of course but in depth, I loved how the side characters were huge in the Manga and Anime it was lovely to see lovable side characters. I loved watching it I thought it was better than most Anime how side characters dont get much showtime. I also know there is a Soul Eater Not! coming out soon, Anime the Manga is of course on going but no worries it will soon fall into place. There are different characters but I heard Maka will make an entrance and etc. I hope so anyway.

So give it a go if you havent watched or read it, I shall leave you with some songs ~
