Sky Girls
Posted by Persocom on Jun 16, 2010 in Anime Review | 7 comments
Time for another anime review. This time I’ll be talking a bit about Sky Girls, which aired back in 2007. I only recently watched it so it’s still fresh in my mind. Sky Girls is classified as an action/drama/military anime, but I think the focus leans a bit more towards the drama side. The setting of the story takes place in the near future, where the human race has been all but wiped out by beings known as Worms. The Worms were thought to have been destroyed entirely, but their re-emergence calls for new tactics to be used to wipe them out before they annihilate what is left of the world. A new form of defense is formed, the mechas called Sonic Divers, and 3 young girls with different backgrounds are recruited into the military as test pilots. At least.. that is how it all begins.

Queen’s Blade: Rurou no Senshi
Posted by Persocom on Jan 7, 2010 in Anime, Anime Review | 12 comments
A few nights ago I finished watching through Queen’s Blade: Rurou no Senshi for the 3rd time. I had planned on doing this review before but after watching the second season I thought it would be best to have the first one fresh in my mind to write up a review. I’ll do another post about the second season after I re-watch it. First of all, I must start out by saying this anime is overlooked and under appreciated due to the ecchiness contained within it. In fact so much so, that it took seeing so many great figures and encouragement from fellow blogger Blowfish to push me to finally getting past the first episode. One of the main problems with the show was that the first fan subs that emerged were simply horrible, they weren’t taken seriously at all and really were not justifiable by any means. On top of that almost everywhere you go you hear nothing but negativity towards Queen’s Blade due to the fanservice content being more than usual, as well as it having aired uncensored. Most people seem to think it’s nothing but oppai and hentai. Once I picked the show back up to give it a try what I saw really impressed me. Read More
Shangri-La
Posted by Persocom on Dec 4, 2009 in Anime, Anime Review | 7 comments
Having recently watched through the entirety of Shangri-La for a second time, I decided it would be a better time than any to write up my own little review on it. Shangri-La is an science fiction anime based on a light novel written by Eiichi Ikegami with illustration done by Ken’ichi Yoshida. The character designs of the anime itself is by Range Murata, direction done by Makoto Bessho and it is produced by Gonzo. The anime started airing during this Spring, and I watched it weekly when it legally streamed on Crunchyroll. If you’re interested in watching it you can still watch it there. I’m going to try doing this review different than my previous ones. As usual this anime review will be as spoiler free as possible. Read More

FLCL Review
Posted by Persocom on Mar 17, 2009 in Anime, Anime Review | 6 comments
If there was ever an anime that was funny, nonsensical and twisted, I would have to say “FLCL” would fit this description perfect! Not sure exactly how I want to really describe it, so I will use the plot summary from ANN:
Plot Summary: Naota is a normal Japanese 6th grade boy (although a little cynical), but when his older brother leaves for America to play baseball, his brother leaves his homeless 17 year old girlfriend Mamimi behind. Mamimi is sending mixed signals and advances to Naota, and he doesn’t know what to do about her. But to make matters worse, Naota’s world is totally turned upside down when he is run over by a woman on a Vespa. During their first encounter, she hits him over the head with her guitar, which then causes a horn to grow out of his forehead. She calls herself “Haruko” and her presence changes Naota’s life to even further insanity.

So, we recently finished watching “Kemeko Deluxe” And I have to say I found it hilarious to watch! You NEVER know what Kemeko will do next. The protagonist, a high school boy named Sanpeita Kobayashi, has a freak meeting with a chibi mecha named Kemeko, who claims to be his wife. Inside the sadistic Kemeko is a beautiful girl named M.M. whom seems vaguely familiar to him. His first love placed a glowing object in his mouth before dissapearing 10 years ago and M.M. looks a lot like her. Kemeko keeps trying to protect the boy from the Mishima company that is after Sanpeita, thus making further complications for him as well. Also his childhood friend Izumi Makihara secretly wants to get closer to him. M.M. refuses to reveal much about herself even though she claims Sanpeita as her husband, and spends most of her time cooped up inside Kemeko.
