Synopsis
Staz is the vampire boss of a section of the demon world, but he has little interest in human blood. He's more infatuated with Japanese culture. When he learns that Yanagi Fuyumi, a Japanese teenage girl, accidentally wanders into the demon city, he jumps to the occasion. However, while Staz deals with an intruder on his turf, the oblivious Fuyumi is killed by a monster of the same type and becomes a wandering ghost. The disappointed Staz vows to Fuyumi that he will find a way to bring her back to life.
Dopes Says ~
The show was great! I was so glad it became an Anime I thought wow it finally came and now, Staz is a serious Otaku if you haven't gathered and when he see's Fuyumi a part of him goes wild. Not with thirst which is surprise but with amazement that a human girl is in his room and comes from Japan itself. So you can see what happens next when all hell breaks loose (no puns intended as they are based in hell haha!) and Fuyumi is chewed up to become a ghost. Staz vows to bring her back but for his pastime or in general?

I would give the animation a boost I love it, I think its quite different it's nice to see a darker theme become hilarious with pleasant colours. Although there was more to be portrayed it was great for what they had. I think the characters were well addressed Staz especially, of course for a 10 episode Anime they did pretty well, it was like a introduction to Blood lad in general the first 10 episodes nothing in depth or so. The sound was great it was enjoyable and how it changed between characters. The comedy was good I wouldn't say laugh out loud way it was a mere giggle for me but it made me smile was worth it.
Dopes dislikes ~
Well it was 10 episodes so that was my first problem, although the manga is still running which I have read. I wanted a bit more! What's underwhelming was the action part of the show which just mainly showed the comedy side. But the actions were done nice but there wasn't enough so it wasn't a mind blowing Anime if anyone was looking for it.
Dopes Conclusion -
Well for starters Blood lad is a non typical vampire story, so if anyone wants to watch it for the original vamp style dont be mislead by the title of the show. The Anime wasn't mind blowing but it was worth the watch, the show presents Staz a mere otaku rather than a vampire that he is. So its different and very sweet, dont be fooled by the actions there isn't much, however dont let that stop you. Blood Lad is a classic example of taking a typical genre type and applying a twist on it. It didn't impress me too much but I really did enjoy it but wish there could have been more.

Mirai Nikki - Future diary ~ ヾ(´･ω･｀)
Type: TV
Episodes: 26
Status: Finished Airing
Aired: Oct 9, 2011 to Apr 15, 2012
Producers: FUNimation EntertainmentL, Lantis, Kadokawa Shoten, Asread, Rakuonsha, Kadokawa Pictures Japan, The Klock Worx, chara-ani.com, 12 Diary Holders, Dwango, Sakura Create
Genres: Action, Mystery, Shounen, Supernatural, Psychological, Thriller
Duration: 23 min. per episode
Rating: R+ - Mild Nudity
This psychological thriller, based on the manga written and illustrated by Sakae Esuno, is about Yuki, a loner who's not very good with people. He prefers to write a diary on his cell phone and talk to his imaginary friend, Deus Ex Machina – The God of Time and Space. However, Yuki soon learns that Deus is more than a figment of his imagination when he makes Yuki participate in a battle royale with eleven others. The contestants are given special diaries that can predict the future, each diary possessing unique features that give it both advantages and disadvantages. Within the next 90 days, the contestants must try to survive until there is only one left standing. The winner will become the new God of Time and Space.
Ok, so where do I start I read the manga first before watching it. Because I am one of those who likes to read to get the gist and actually like it before I watch it. And let me tell you I was happy I did because its honestly a really good survival anime. Its so wonderfully scripted and written well however some may disagree and I would say that they might be right but meh. I was at first wary because I did not want something of battle royale coming back but in futuristic style. I was wrong because from being slow paced at first it had become fast paced, its highly popular and some may not agree and give it average opinions but for me I am surprised by its consistency of twists.
With only 12 participants unknown identity, they all must battle for the throne of the deus ex machina. It is probably a very interesting concept of a written diary by phone, from what it looked like the diary itself is the owner and once that is destroyed aka phone. Then you will not live any longer either its a survival of the best. And what Yuki does is just that with the help of several people and of course the crazy Yandare Yuno.
Overall there wasnt a lot of character development besides here and there number 9 being one in depth. Yuno and Yuki were the main stars of course. It was a series of plot twists which I loved and it engraved into a lovely set of scenes with psychological thrillers. I am extremely surprised and happy about this anime so i wont continue to gravel about it. I loved the animation and music, I think the development between yuno and yuki were at most creepy but sweet.
Its not the best of the best or the worst. Its smack dab as wonderful though something different for a different plotline and all I recommend this to those who havent touched it. Its worth every watch plus you can tick of the list as to why you watched it and wonder what was wrong with it in the first place!
So get watching and I'll leave you with some songs for now ~

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 ~

Sawada Honoka is a 14-year-old girl who is very timid. She easily gets bullied by other classmates. Honoka is a non-believer in God, Angels, and Devils. Though one day, a devil baby was dropped into her room while she was sleeping. What will Honoka believe in now?
This is a very cute anime as I recall, It's not Daa Daa Daa ~ mind you. It's a cute turn of events in this anime. Its about Honoka who ends up with a baby to look after. In fact its not a normal baby she's looking after its a demon baby. So she enrolls her baby into a school full of other demon babies and a adventure follows. They are short episodes so I wasn't sure what I would be getting for 75 episodes.
The art was cute, it was fluffy and colourful. It can be enjoyed if you are willing to enjoy cute type that is, there wasn't that much character development only a few here and there. It must be a show for younger generations but I still watched it, because I like giving things like these a go. It fulfills my needs in a small way and I can't deny that I love babies and adventures!
The music was as expected cute like the show. The story is pretty good as well the songs the catchiest part really. It's all very entertaining still, of course not everyone will like it however if you want some short 5 minute in half hour episodes this is good for you.
I will leave you with some songs ~

Sypnosis ~
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.
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 ~
