Sypnosis ~
One day, Takamiya Naho receives a letter written to herself from ten years in the future. As Naho reads on, the letter recites the exact events of the day, including the transfer of a new student into her class named Naruse Kakeru.

The Naho from ten years later repeatedly states that she has many regrets, and she wants to fix these by making sure the Naho from the past can make the right decisions—especially regarding Kakeru. What's more shocking is that she discovers that ten years later, Kakeru will no longer be with them. Future Naho asks her to watch over him closely

Dopes Says –

This Manga is probably the most heartbreaking story you will read with a twist of futuristic qualities, although things like this have been used over and over this story however delivers! The story takes place with Naho who reads a letter and finds herself questioning where it comes from when events start to happen around her does she relaise that the letters are all real. It has a spooky effect hearing one self from the future repeating the past to save someone. Its probably going to be a quality live action as well when they decide to make it hopefully the characters deliver.

Dopes rates ~

The story takes place with six friends who have an amicable personality for every single one of them which brings them a lot closer. What you have to do is read closer to get their distinct personalities from each. Whats beautiful is that they do seem stereotypical, but they have a great understanding as sub characters in the story. Yet they are drawn together because of the one letter they all received which helps them deliver the purpose of the Manga itself.
The relationship between the trio main characters are great, they execute the triangle to a point of budding friendship that doesn’t get spoiled. Kakeru however, as a main protagonist is a shade of mystery what Takano does is make him so mysterious you never know if he knew about the letters if he got on himself, if he realise that others are helping him survive without revealing it. Its a enigmatic storyline with a need of answers.  What we do get is sections of the timeline switches and POV, which helps us understand his mindset a bit more and the other characters.

Dopes dislikes –

I found that Kakeru is quite selfish, but then again this topic is a sudden taboo for a lot of people for me. His need of reasoning was bitter. However, despite all that his relationship towards Suwa and Naho is quite oblivious at times, its like forcing someone to eat. But nevertheless that was the only problem I had.

Dopes conclusion ~

This Artwork for this Manga is so good that its a great fit for the Manga. I love the style to the point of the details they all point in each character. Even to the point of their future selves that they have a look of maturity as well which I found endearing. So far only 19 chapters have been released so I wont say too much but from what I gathered it is a wonderful Manga with a list of drama, romance a sense of sci-fi and a little bit of mystery as well. Altogether im quite proud of Takano she made a Manga which will be always remembered in my eyes. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do and when the live action comes out I hope it also portrays the characters in a similar light as the Manga for me nothing beats that! So check it out when you can.

UPDATE!!!

I have finally read the final chapter!! Honestly I cannot express how happy and sad I am it is over this manga had so many feels that I couldn't express. All day I couldn't get over how great the ending was, so open and so amazing. I hope there will be extra chapters or so but if not I believe it has ended with a bittersweet feeling of hope!

Honestly if no one has read it you must, its so different with so many emotional moments. I feel happy for the outcome of it all! Now I will go and wallow in my pettiness of finding another great manga like this.

Thank you Takano Ichigo you made such a beautiful story that I can't express it!! <3 


p.s SUWA WILL ALWAYS BE MY BABY <3 I want to meet a guy like him!! T___T

PostHeaderIcon 3 x 3 eyes ~ Sazan Eyes - o(^^o)(o^^)o

Type: OVA
Episodes: 4
Status: Finished Airing
Aired: Jul 25, 1991 to Mar 19, 1992
Producers: Toei Animation, Bandai Visual, Kodansha
Genres: Action, Demons, Fantasy, Horror, Romance
Duration: 30 min. per episode
Rating: R - 17+ (violence & profanity)

3X3 Eyes is the story of a young man named Yakumo Fuuji, who through a strange series of events becomes the immortal slave of the last of a race of 3 Eyed immortals. The immortal absorbs his soul to save his life, making him immortal in the process. Now, he begins a journey with the female immortal in an attempt to find a way of becoming human. Of course, there are many complications along the way, not the least of which being that the immortal is a female with a split personality, one achingly cute and the other being no-nonsense destructive power, and the romances that develop between.


Can I just say that as a 90's baby, this is so amazing to me. I remember watching it the first time and not understanding it but I still loved it. And I kept rewatching to understand until of course I got my hands on the manga. Then it hit me how complex this story and anime is, it's not everyones taste and I dont expect it to be but for it is. 

because its only 4 OVAS and not enough story was processed within the limit of the episodes it only covers 2 volumes. People may be disappointed by it, but fear not if you didnt like the anime its up to the their own choice. For me who is a big fan of this show cant express what it did for me, I really enjoyed the OVAS it had the feeling of the 90's in it the animation to the music what not. 

For me It was a story of complete 180 turnaround, Yakumo who through a strang process ends up immortal due to a eccentric and very strong girl called Pai who by the way is so cute. I think its adorable the way the two main interacted, Yakumo in the end gave up alot in order to help Pai become human and himself too. Lets just say it was heartwarming adventure they make a lot of enemies and friends along the way and there is so much tragic in the actual story that its blinding.

The manga deciphers this show so well that I can't express how much I want people to read it, you will not regret it. It explains in full on how and what Yakumo and Pai's relationship is in total its a like a whole new world. (no not like aladdin and jasmine) but even more amazing they are like starbound together that it hurts. Its a long process of a journey they fall against the story is so well developed to me that its missing so much in the animation.

The OST is a must to get I think its so well thought out of course, its a typical old style based music. Along with the art which is old fashioned but it works so well with the colour palette too. 

So if anything you must read the manga to understand completely what the show is about! Do not rely on OVAS to complete this, its frustrating to me how people dont understand, for me its a show with a quick insight of the actual story that develops in the manga. So if you havent read it you must do so. I dont want to go so much into detail about it because it ruins it but I will tell you the monsters look strange and there are some real strange appearances too of things in the story. Its a mixture of a lot of sweet, dangerous and evil lots of evil its such an indulgence into a really good manga.

When boys suddenly get into places where they've never been allowed before, some girls tend to get upset. So when the decision is made to merge the elite Yuihime Girls' Private Academy and the coeducational Kagamidai Private Academy, everyone wants to take extra care in avoiding trouble while bringing the two Privates together. Therefore, rather than just bringing the Kagamidai boys into the Yuihime girls' school all at once, a plan is concocted in which a group of test males will be inserted into the Girls' Private Academy first.

Ok well this anime took me a while to get into, it wasn't my top favorite close to other similar ones though but it was worth a watch. Why, because the main character wasn't a perv for once and his best friend wasn't either. The girl reminded me of Nagisa from Clannad a weakling but it was so cute so I endured it. For me it was a normal plotlined story and all, the only twist was the ending people would be shipping characters and for me I was correct when I saw who it was.


So art for me was great, I really enjoyed the colours and style of it really reminded me of da capo for some reasons though and kanon. So for me it was very nostalgic I really enjoyed it too, so was the music it was light and went well with the show. Character design was a big plus for me so that was a great thing too. 

So overall, for me it was hard getting into but I eventually did and it was a good pass time to watch this. I defo recommend it to you guys so give it a go.

PostHeaderIcon Tasogare Otome x Amnesia - Dusk Maiden of Amnesia (*゚0゚)ハッ


Episodes: 12
Status: Finished Airing
Aired: Apr 9, 2012 to Jun 25, 2012
Producers: Media Factory, Silver Link, Sentai FilmworksL, Tasogare Otome×Amnesia Production Partners
Genres: Mystery, Horror, Romance, School, Shounen, Supernatural
Duration: 24 min. per episode
Rating: R - 17+ (violence & profanity)


Synopsis :

The story revolves around a first-year middle school student, Teiichi Niiya who had just enrolled at Seikyou Private Academy. When he gets lost in one of the school's old buildings, he meets a girl named Yuko Kanoe who reveals herself as a ghost with no memories. Teiichi then decides to investigate her death by looking through the school's seven mysteries revolving around her. Throughout the story, Teiichi and Yuko discover the truth about these ghost stories and help those who are troubled.

So here I go with another review, Dusk maiden of amnesia. Has got to be the most unique Anime I have ever watched. Beyond that, it's the most touching one I have seen for a 2012 line up. It's that great, so here I will begin my review. Teiichi Niiya is your average boy, well was until he could see Yuko the little ghost that haunts the school. You know the hot ghost you always want following you around and so forth. Yeah Teiichi the lucky runt has the beautiful Yuko around him. He tries to solve the seven mysteries of the the school. Only to find a more deeper filled meaning towards the ghost he happens to have near him.

probably the most thorough Anime, with an amazing plot line. The characters were defined to a extent where nothing was left out. I felt like it was great to see that it had a back story and connected so well with everything. There was no plot holes or anything, it all added up. The Anime did have a lot of nudity involved but it's normal for me. I really enjoyed the seven mysteries and the eeriness towards it and how it all connected with Yuko. To think she also has a descendant as well who also can see ghosts. Yuko has always been alone, she really misses the school and you can tell, it was seriously sad to see her. The loneliness and pain she had felt who would understand.

It was quite amazing to see that Yuko also had the hate version of her come out. That was splendid, and so real in some sense. She tries hard to forget about her past and make it into an amnesia but there's one thing you cannot forget: you can't run away from your problems like an amnesia.
 

Overall, it's one of the best ones I have encountered and you guys must watch it! Total fan service when you need it, with a hint of love and exceptional scenes of scenaries that you would enjoy. The music was amazing and so was the animation. The irony of the series was got to be gorgeous as well as the various well captured angles of "dusk" in this anime and the night moon skies. So good that it made me melt with happiness.

So people get watching, I shall leave you with some music now!

PostHeaderIcon Sukitte Ii Na Yo - ☆⌒ヽ(*'、^*)chu




Episodes: 13

Status: Finished Airing

Aired: October 6, 2012December 30, 2012

Producers: Tokyo MX, tvk, BS11, AT-X 
Duration: 24 min. per episode
Rating: PG-13 - Teens 13 or older
Manga: Kanae Hazuki

Sypnosis
Quiet and unassuming Mei Tachibana is 16-years-old, but has spent her high school years without making friends or getting a boyfriend because of a childhood incident that left her believing that people will betray each other sooner or later. When she encounters a popular boy named Yamato Kurosawa he becomes interested in her, and it is through their tentative friendship and blossoming relationship that Mei ultimately begins to branch out and befriend others.

So here is another shoujo, ive been dreaming to write about. As the title conveys "Say, I love you" it's pretty much sums the storyline up. It's a really good Anime and Manga, especially to those who love romance like I do as well. The thing with this Anime was, that it was dramatic. It was very good in that sense, It starts off with Mei Tachibana, a very quiet girl who minds her own business, until of course when A friend of Yamato's lifts her skirt up while going up the stairs, does she do a roundhouse kick and knocks Yamato of his feet. It was a sudden attack and it really drew me in. 

Say, I love you. Is probably branched as a simple romance with dramas. You know boy gets girl, girl anxious and so forth. However the difference is, the girl actually talks back to the girl and tells him how she feels. Maybe not entirely all the time someone has to have something happen or slap sense to people to realise how Mei felt. A girl with no friends and suddenly she helps out many but can never admit her own anxiety. Is telling you how difficult it is for her, however with Mei and this series she grows exceptionally all her fears are tackled and one thing she doesnt lose sight of is Yamato himself. He is the typical jealous male, and when Kai comes in boy that is a sight to see. Although the great thing about another character loving Mei is that she was oblivious and wasn't sure about her own feelings. She was still learning to love, and accept. With Kai she felt a connection, and that is what riled Yamato up. But the best thing was in the end she was still with Yamato.

There was also the determination and development to get someone whom they love, but taking a long time to get them. It was very notable in the series, i loved the story of Yamato's older brother and his girlfriend it was sweet and so sad, it shows that love is unexplainable and can be unexpected and leave you with so many emotions. All the charcters are interesting with a amazing background and how they overcome it, with the help of Mei of course. It was a solid romance with a stable pacing, they weren't too overdramatic or anything it was just right.


The music itself was interesting, soft and melodic and simple. While the animation could not be everyone's taste I am guessing. I really liked it, it was a good visual for me. There hairstyle was awesome as well, specifically Yamato's. I would totally recommend this series for 13 episodes and 24 minutes it summed up the show pretty well and didnt leave anything behind. However of course if people want to continue do read the Manga, I am sure they wont be making a second season although we can only hope right?

Sukitte Ii Na Yo has 10 volumes and 41 chapters so far, I hope this picture will get you to check it out.  








I think they are very cute together, they make me smile alot. We all wish something like this right? I hope it happens to everyone, I guess "Love" isn't perfect but we can always try to make the best of it. Enjoy the music I will post up! Did I mention how much I adore Suneohair! <3

PostHeaderIcon Tonari no Kaibutsu-Kun (My little monster) ヾ(´▽`*;)ゝ"







  • Full Title:Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun (My little monster)
  • Genre: Romance, Comedy
  • Length: Television series, 13 episodes, 24 minutes
  • Anime Studio:  TV Tokyo, TVO, TVh, TSC, TVA, TVQ
  • Director:  Hiro Kaburaki
  • Original Creator: Robico  
 Sypnosis
My Little Monster is a 13-episode anime produced by Brain's Base, based on a manga by Robico. It first aired in 2012. My Little Monster focuses on the relationship between Shizuku Mizutani, who has absolutely no interests except in studying and her plans for the future, and a boy named Haru Yoshida, who sits next to Shizuku in class but rarely attends school. After Shizuku is tasked with delivering class printouts to Haru's home, she meets Haru, who immediately greets her as a friend, starting their new relationship.

Well, first of it starts off with a dispassionate school girl called Shizuku Mizutani, she has no friends, hobbies whatsoever. In other words she just wants to study, she finds it unbelievable and very irritating that their is a guy who keeps getting the number 1 spot and never turns up to school. It happens to be her classmate Haru Yoshida. She manages to give homework prinouts to this guy the same guy who keeps beating up at the top for number 1. And thus how their journey begins, a crazy child called Haru and a very dull and lifeless girl called Shizuku.

Without realising, Shizuku happens to stumble into a lot of crazy circumstances. That is beyond her emotional level. She manages to engage and not engage in the most impossible way, she tries to get on with life, but with Haru her responsibility and her first friend. It comes to a point where she doesnt know where she stands. As the two young misfits gradually become acquainted and make new friends, they find themselves confronting things about each other and themselves that might have been better left buried.

If there's one word to describe the visuals of this series, it's colorful. The backgrounds and character designs are bright and lively, the music is cute and so and so. It wasn't too crazy or too upbeat, it was just right for the show, to show off the dramatic sense at moments as well, and to show of the more cute moments of the show.

For me this was a show that I really enjoyed. I found it super cute how the male lead wasn't broody or a male egotistic showoff. It was great to see Haru as a child like personality, bright and bubbly. And laughter and making friends is something awesome. Which was the complete opposite of Shizuku and I like that Shizuku was the loner girl this time, but with Haru next to her she was barely alone. She was always with someone. Her lack of personality made up with Haru. It was like a child with no feelings, she wasn't sure of this new environment and what to do and that was what made me love My little monster. Her relationships with everyone made me smile, she was going into a new place learning new things, the life of human emotions!

Overall, it ended way to quick for me, they built it up to a point where you get into it and then stop halfway which caused me to groan in annoyance. But nevertheless I really loved the Manga that gave it a bit more justice to the story. I was hoping for more for My little monster, but I think so far this is what we will get. The great thing about this show was the character build up, it was strong and believable so it wasn't too hard not get into it. The couples of the shows were unexpected but you know it's what made My little monster great! I really enjoyed Haru and Shizuku, thought at some point I want to knock their heads together. They get into silly fights and moments and then apologize, little by little Shizuku is expressing more and more and thats what I found beautiful.


Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun has 12 volumes but only 10 have been translated so far, and they are on chapter 44. Here is a slight little glimpse for the Manga if no one else has started reading or watching. It's pretty underrated like Kamisama Kiss, but I think it would have been the most cutest Rom-com if it had been longer. 


I shall leave you with some music now! ENJOY!
