Rating: R+ - Mild Nudity
Based on the manga series by Hiromitsu Takeda, this romantic comedy is about Takeru Ohyama, a typical perverted teenage boy. His new school doesn't require entrance exams, and it just turned co-ed! Unfortunately, his dreams of a happy high school life are dashed when he finds out the school is much more than it seems. All of the students wield a special item—a Maken—to unleash their magical abilities in duels! Can Takeru find a Maken that works for him? Even while trying to fit in at a new school and dealing with all kinds of girl problems?
As you can tell this show is about a perverted hero who joins school with his busty childhood friend. Of course Maken ki is full of magical combat in a school run by very busty girls. Plot isnt orignial however, I do recommend people to read the Manga because its so much better. It explains in depth about what is going on and to think that the anime was probably just made for fan service.
But I assure you the manga delves deeper into the story in fact you think you know what goes on in the story with the anime, but its small compared to the next steps in the manga which explains all. The animation and sounds are nice, I quite like it and very fluid looking with a lot of shine on places where you know are the main areas a pervert will look at of course.
I enjoyed it, some may have no enjoyed it as much as me but I do enjoy things like this. I love the characters I actually can't choose one I really adore. There are more secrets in Tenbi than you imagine, and I can't help it but Akaya is probably a dream boat in my eyes even in his speedos haha! overall honestly its a past time show with not a serious plot unless you read the manga which has that of course! There is a cute storyline between the girls and Takeru of course which is sweet.
Not everyones cup of tea, but as for a girl I really enjoyed watching this there is a few humour here and there a lot of pervertedness (mind you I am not a pervert in general really ^^;) but lets excuse that and just focus that each girl has a power and so does the main guy but he is still looking into it really. And again I can't stress enough that you should read the manga its better honestly.
I will leave you with some songs ~

Synopsis -
Shinkurō Kurenai is already both a master of an arcane martial art and an experienced professional mediator with a long track record of resolving disputes. Sixteen-year-old Shinkurō Kurenai, a specialist in settling squabbles between people, is one day approached by his employer with the daughter of a powerful plutocratic family asking him to be her bodyguard.
So hello there, I know I haven't been updating my blog lately but no worries I have lots to say! So starting off I will review this wonderful Spring 08 anime that I think people should consider. I did a lot of throwbacks a couple of months ago I watched and read alot so I hope these reviews just give you a jist of what I loved about it.
Kure-nai, is probably the endearing Anime you could watch. As a Manga its a bit more in depth and darker with a lot of action involved. I really enjoyed the Manga to the point where I was disappointed it finished but the Anime itself is a beautiful series that didnt follow the Manga alot but made it a bit more unique.
The animation of Kure-nai, grips you because it's so vivid and fresh with the style. It's cute because all the characters are lovely and colourful. It covers up the lack of character development the Anime lacked but it's not so bad if you've read the Manga it explains alot and you find out the more inner stories so don't let it bug you too much if the Anime didnt rock your boat.
The story is really good, its a slice of life anime style which kind of leads a young girl into finding out the real world. At first I thought it would be dark and depressing which isn't so bad because most Animes are too colorful. This is just a right format for me they didnt dwell on the darkness too much but added it in with a hint of action here and there. The relationship between the characters and interactions between Murasaki and Shinkorou helps make the story come closer in some sense. However the Manga is a bit more thorough with the characters and there is a lot more back story towards it as well. There is a lot of drama but it's a good turn which makes the show more thrilling, it's a love or hate Anime.The music was very upbeat in some sense, it was really sweet as well.
Its a show that not everyone will like I presume, but it's one of those feel good Anime that make you want to try it out. It's nothing spectacular but it hold a little heart into the show. It's not a long series so you might be done within a day or so but it's a good way to look into a new set of shows with a varied genre. To be fair if you read the Manga first then watch the show you will not be disappointed, the Manga was a bit more better than the Anime and held on to the amazing development of the characters. The Manga was a bit more true to making the series be a good one but failed when they developed the Anime but it's not a big fail its a good fail as in, the Anime itself was not bounded by the Manga too much to make it a bit more memorable for me.
So give it a go test it out and write about how it went.
I will leave you guys with some songs ~

Japan Matsuri 2013 ( ̄Д ̄;) ガーン

Minasan, kon'nichiwa~
I thought I would write a little something today about Japan Matsuri in London 2013! It was a cloudy day yesterday, but none the less a very beautiful night! No rain whatsoever Which is a bonus point I guess for performers. It was on Saturday October 5th, near Trafalgar Square. It was a huge huge event and probably well known.
Everything kicked off at 11am and lead on to the night until 9pm, which was a very long event.
It was unfortunate I didn't go, but there was a few friends of mine who did go to this event, I thought I would write about their thoughts on this event, via through them. I think I will have to wait another year in order to go again. It's such a shame, it would have been amazing to see it first hand but you know, things happen and you are busy. I thought I would share some stuff through others to get a clear show of what we missed.

I thought I would share some stuff through others to get a clear show of what we missed.
The first two pictures are from the original website they are not mine, so do not worry. It's copy write to them. Not mine, if I had originals I would definitely put them up, sad I can't. (▼_▼メ)
So I got a friend who went there happy days, and asked her a few questions to which she replied for me.
Me: What did you see in general?
Nicky : Interms of performances I saw a japanese singer (sorry forgot her name) along with her backup dancers!
There were all wearing short kimono style dresses and everything about the performance was like a throwback from the 80's
The songs the singer sang reminded me of a old anime song opening! Marmalade boy in particular! the dances were similar
to japanese para para dancing! The second performance I saw was more japanese music but a more traditional sound whichinvolved the use of the traditional japanese instrument/guitar the shamisen
The performance was nice and part of the performance featured a guy I knew called Yuma. I couldnt see clearly if he
also was playing a shamisen or a regular guitar but eitherway he was really really good.
Me: How was the surrounding?
Nicky: It was my first time so I was surprised by how large the event was! there was a lot of people
and everyone there seemed to be there to enjoy the event and generally have a good time.
Me: Whom did you go with or see?
Nicky: In terms of people I saw, although I got there around 4:30-5:00 it didn't take me long to find my friends! and throughout the event myself as well as my friends kept bumping into other friends and other people we knew!
Me: Did you enjoy the performance or anything?
Nicky: The performance I did manage to see I enjoyed! but I have to say I enjoyed being there with my friends both Japanese and non Japanese a lot more
Me: Did you buy anything?
Nicky: I was hungry so I bought some food! I bought some very delicious Yakisoba and through a recommendation by one of my friends I bought a very nice Japanese lemon drink:'Ramu bottle'
Me: By the end of it how was the general atmosphere was it worth it?
Nicky: In general I saw alot of people! The atmosphere was very good! I feel the atmosphere was good due to the people there, some japan lovers, some non japan lovers who just came out of curiosity either way I feel everyone there came to have a good time( and did) and to experience some Japanese culture!
Well, for my friend Nicky overall it seems she really enjoyed herself, from her point of view I gathered. The food was great, she had managed to meet people who she made friends with and manged to see after a long time. It seems like one of her friends who went along with her met up with a fried who she hadnt seen in 10 years!! My, I never knew a festival could bring people together. I think it sums up that it was great for everyone. And the singer she had seen was called
Naomi Suzuki, but there was other people playing, like Fuyuki Enokido who came from Japan to do a stage! Hibiki Ichikawa. There was more I will list them soon.
I thank my friend for the follow up of the day, her twitter is linked here if you want to be friend her too, she is a fellow Japan culture lover like I am. (https://twitter.com/xNicky10) credit to Nicole for answering my questions! She also mentioned a couple of elvis guys dancing to Japanese folk songs the video is posted up on her twitter please go share or watch it. Thank you!
Next up is a little info from another friend of mine, who didnt quite gather what her feelings was for the whole event.
Me: How was Japan Matsuri?
Anca: It was alright..plenty of food ..haha..almost all the stalls were with food ..there was music, traditional dances...what else?..hmmm..cute guys..haha:P
Me: Cute guys?
Anca: ooohhh yeaaahhh...loads of cute guys..
Me: LOL
Anca: I still remember those 2 Tokyo guys..they were so dreamy..but because I was too shy I missed my chance to talk more with them...and one of them was looking at me..I'm so angryyyy...T^T
Me: oh no you would gotten the guy if you talked more lol bless maybe next time?
Got to love this girl, I also asked her cousin of what she thought about it.
Me: How was Japan Matsuri?
Furore: Sorry, dear...but I just passed by....I wasn't so much into it...or into the guys ;))
Overall, I think for these two beautiful girls they were either into it and not so into it. Which isn't so bad, I mean a festival is a place where you meet new people. So remember readers, if you meet two tokyo guys and one looked at Anca please do give me a comment, I shall get her lover boy to her soon because she was too shy to talk. It seems like a place where you meet loads of people, I would love to get a love story out of these festivals will make my day. Our conversation was of course real and quite amusing. Credit to Furore Maya and Anca Maria Thank you!!
So here it was, my little insight of Japan Matsuri 2013! Totally love the fact I got three different peoples view on it. Some like some not, some enjoyed some not. Tell me how you guys thought about it and if anyone went. I would love to go next year maybe, and get a story of my own in it with pictures. And get to meet new different people too, and maybe get a love story in between. Did I mention I missed Siro-A the most amazing dance group ever, they had performed at the Matsuri, so whoever didn't go missed one of the best things. Oh lets not forget the the guitarist who did the original Kill bill theme song Iconic! Damn my luck hopefully someone cooler comes next time. please do go on the website (http://japanmatsuri.com/) for the rest of the information.
