Sword Art Online - The Adult Friend Finder of Videogames

The world of online gaming has evolved. Its evolution was predetermined from the day it captured the hearts and imaginations of its public. These consumers had always had that one true wish: to immerse themselves in the alternate reality worlds they had come to call home.

Immersion. Virtual. One conclusion comes to mind.

Virtual reality in its best designed state, full immersion at its most capable. Through the use of a headset with goggles, the VR device used with their systems, they perform actions as if almost in reality. The headset stems the path between the brain and the spine, intercepting synapses that may cause you to clench a fist in reality to instead clench your fists in the gameworld. The ability to trap and enhance our dreams while revealing whole worlds makes this medium the most realistic way to see even our deepest imaginings become "reality".

Your worries are also true. There is the ability to get caught up, to get so lost in this alternate reality that you neglect your real world. Even then, however, there is always the ability to leave for those that need or want to. At least........ there was.

You see, there's a catch. This new game, fresh out of its beta testing, called Sword Art Online, has entrapped all of its participants with a little problem: the inability to logout of the game world. Furthermore, any attempts from the outside world to free a player will result in the player having their VR devices end their lives from electrical charges sent directly into the nervous system causing a fatal shutdown of bodily functions.

It is up to the participants, nay, the residents of this virtual world to win the game. Easier said than done. There are 100 floors, each with different challenges and obstacles, each with enormously strengthened bosses that require more than just attack power and intelligence to overcome. And despite the overwhelming requirement of it for survival, teamwork is still hard to come by. So many people see futility in resistance that they become the antagonist themselves. Through these dark times, leaders of light come up through perseverance, dedication, and the loyalty of their peers and subordinates to hold reign and allegiance of collectives known as guilds. They wield amazing power because they are able to gather forces instead of watching the masses in chaos. This seems like the only hope for vindication in these desperate times of escape.

Our hero. He wears no mantle. He claims no large and colossal power. He carries with him only the determination to see things in himself that he has forgotten. His only goal is to be a warrior from the shadows, with no name and no allegiance. He doesn't want fame. This game, though, has other plans. And it will do what it can to take everything from you. Even your humility and self-worth.

There is a breath of hope among these chills of uncertainty and despair. Unlikely crossings and seemingly fated interventions. Love that blossoms in the icy depths of death-laden dungeons. The warmth of companionship can truly lessen your burdens. Tread softly though. Do not forget your goal. To beat......

Sword Art Online.

Soul Eater - Watch it… or I'll take your soul.

Humans are granted extraordinary power. That isn't new.

They are imbued with the power to transform their bodies. That isn't new either.

By changing their bodies, they become weapons for their chosen partners to wield in a union whose strength depends upon the ability of the wielder and wielded's souls to perform in harmony. Wow. That is a new and somewhat confusing concept. This is Soul Eater.

It's pacing almost feels a little rushed, without really mentioning the progress that is undone by their hastiness, Maka and Soul almost seem too powerful from the very beginning. All it takes for me to get confused is to make me feel left out real early. So... about some basics.

Maka is a human girl in the Death Weapon Meister Academy. She is a Meister and Soul is her partner and her weapon. Soul has the ability to change his body into the graceful frame of a large-wielded scythe. Different from the scythes used in fieldwork, he is perfectly designed for the simple task of destroying their opponents and for the coup de gras, he dines on their souls. Perfectly normal behavior at the academy however, seeing as a weapon needs 99 souls and the soul of one witch to become the strongest type of weapon: The Deathscythe.

This anime has a ton of integrity. It's a little into the dark, much like D.Gray-Man, but it does its own premise great justice, lightening the characters with seldom overused humor and more original styles(like making OCD funny!). There was a sense of togetherness you don't get in a lot of other shows. There's no solo act, or at least, very few. You are a team. You must act accordingly. Fight or flight, lives are the balance in Soul Eater. You take for granted your power for one second and realism sets in… someone is trying to take your life, your power, your sanity. Dark, funny, actiony, and entertaining, Soul Eater really does a good job making a point and driving it home. Pay attention of course, some concepts are a little difficult to get at first but overall, a thoroughly enjoyed series.

Bleach Part 2 - The Good, The Bad, and The Bankai.

There's a world beyond our own some might say. In this other world, there are forces at odds that control the world of humans ultimate destiny. These protagonists and foes follow set guidelines and are easily distinguishable, holding the vanquish of their foes as their highest priority… right?

Actually, in the world of Bleach… although Black and White exists, there exists more shades of Grey than anything else. The war that is waged with the very lives of humans as the cost is actually fought on our very streets, in our backyards, in our schools and hospitals; so near to us that a victim might only be a breath away from their expiration. The foe, the dastardly apparitions responsible for these egregious crimes against all of humanity… they are unseen by most and, in the case of their victims, the only knowledge of their existence is probably in the execution of their crimes. Our saviors… are not cut from the cloth saints but everyday pioneers of vision. Although they hail from the Soul Society, the land of the afterlife, and although they are charged with the protection of Earth's people, they are the colloquial equivalent to spiritual policeman and come complete with their own distinctions. Each member belongs to a squad, each member has his own Zanpakto(samurai-style sword which has only one bearer), and each member has his own inherent flaws. That's right, our apparitional guardians are imperfect but willing to fight against vicious evils for our benefits. As they are imperfect, however, there are also some among their ranks that have questionable motives. If this is true, the opposite is as well and there exists, among those that are born of the ultimate evil, some with virtue and honor. This ultimate evil is summarized as the lost spirits, the ones without a single virtue left because their existence has become rage, and in the circumstance of zombie-like plagues, lost human souls that are devoured by this same darkness… they are the Hollows. Souls that have become so lost and so dark that destruction is their lust and it must be sated with unquestionable resolve.

This is the struggle. Humans die. In the defense of their soul's right to a pleasant eternity, Soul Reapers(Shinigami) will fight against Hollows and preserve the balance. 

One man, seemingly aware of this second world's presence, becomes entangled in this other worldly operation and, due to his prowess and unexplainable talent to handle these situations, finds himself becoming further and further involved in the other world's operations and very existence.

Code Geass Part (R)2 - Now Hiring Backstabbers and Psychotic Nuclear Scientists. No Really.

What would you do for power?

This power… will give you just what you need to accomplish your goals.
There's just a simple drawback.
Despair.
That is putting it simply. Mind you, power is not simple to earn so therefore, your cost for such power will also not be simple.
Misery. Suffering. Loneliness. Depression. Self-doubt. Loss of motivation. All these things and more. And you're immense desire for power… wasn't even a selfish one.
You would give all and your life to bestow happiness to everyone of the world and, most importantly, your sister.
What will come of this?
Will people love you for it? No.
Will you be remembered for your sacrifices? No.
Will the people you loved be spared of sadness and bloodshed and loss of their own lives? No.
Will your memory be akin to that of the devil himself? Yes.
Will even those closest to you come to loathe you for all of their days? Yes.
Will the empire you built, full of good intention, rejoice in your demise? Yes.
You knew all this and more and yet you held onto your determination. Your scheme. Your dark plans for bright futures.
You are a martyr of unknown peace. Of collateral repair. Of redeemed hearts and ignorant bliss.
If anyone knew to what end you would save the very people that would come to despise you, they would fall into tears immediately.
You are a hero… and yet, you wear your mask well.





Although it isn't the happiest anime, it shares with us out deepest fears and pains. Betrayal and disgust and things we never wish to experience.
Racism of a different vision, elevens are bastardized by the Brittanians, crying out for their heritage to be restored. Eleven years prior to the events of R2, Brittania invaded Japan and colonized it as Area Eleven. They cry out collectively for delivery. Delivery from the tyranny they experience everyday as prejudice and segregation desperate everyone and everything. Their hero is an unlikely one, especially considering he's a prince in line to the Brittanian throne who resorts to terrorism. Even so, victories are achieved and power gained in this struggle. Everything is not so simple though, as even this master is wits has his fair share of ill fortunes. Defeat, disgrace, and the blood of innocents stain his hands and yet… before this is all done out hero will come to know such pain… as should never be endured by anyone ever.

Will you follow Zero?

Code Geass Part 1 - Do What I Say? Pretty Please.

Season 1 done. Let’s see what I got for Code Geass.

Plot Synopsis: An alternate timeline would see the Japanese taken over by a new West.

A rebellion. A surprise victory. The impending reaction that justifies barbaric means.

The undoubtable “good” hero model is unquestionably broken apart as even a demon himself might blush at the actions of Lelouch. He is the detached and cool student that fellow students wish they were or wish they could have. His dark side might be something they cannot grasp for their world,as an upper class student, is small and secluded, cut off from the truths of their own societal actions by the media and governments combined power to stymie the growth of collaborative thought.

It is regrettable to inform them, however….. that their worst fears have already been realized from the day Lelouch’s goal of vengeance was promised.

The worst enemy, will always be one from within. And the only thing you don’t want in battle or otherwise, is an enemy that is more prepared than you.

Lelouch is a strategic mastermind who gains new powers that enable him with the ability to gain a following more rapidly than he imagined,more potent then he dreamed, and all within his framework toward justice.

This anime is well balanced on all ends. Schoolmates,Comrades, Converts, Neutralists, Antagonists….. Rivals. Lelouch is just a building block whilst each and every episodes, each and every skirmish and conflict,builds to his name, builds to his powers, builds to his numbers and reputation.

In the end…. what leader would choose to fight against a  Lelouch-empowered rebellion of their own free will. Pride, Arrogance, Orders……are the only things that stand between Lelouch and his goal.

Total obliteration of the Bittanian world.

Review: Without spoilers, to say that Lelouch is an easy protagonist would be false. He is a dark hero. So much, so very much tragedy takes place in this anime, in so very little time, it easily garnered emotional reactions without a lot of intentional involvement. That has to be a plus for this anime, the fact that it entangles the viewer without a lot of effort.

Also, the use of strategy in this anime is a welcome change to brute force overcoming brute force. It’s similar to the fact that wits battle wits in almost the same respect, but what would you expect when it comes to military operations? There has to be forethought. There has to be motive and planning. Execution and collaboration. Victories are most thoroughly enjoyed when they are won long before the fighting through preparation and strategy.

Characters in this anime are not of the “typical” variety,except in small cases(Here’s looking at you Shirley). Sudden evolution of personality is seen in a few characters and it is a welcome surprise when you take into account how these characters interact(Euphemia is a prime example,with how directional she seemed to begin with and how open minded she ended up being in such a short time).

Few minor flaws. The relation of characters to each other can be kind of confusing. The intelligence levels of some characters do come into question from time to time. The plot progression speed seems too quickly paced at times only to be followed immediately by a slower feel which almost puts the viewer on edge. It’s kind of funny how involved the viewer feels from time to time. I think the show is pretty awesome so far, starting the next season now. Anyways, this is Part 1, come back in a bit and the final synopsis will be available. Ciao.

Bleach Part 1 - "I eat pieces of Reishi like you for breakfast."

Bleach Seasons 1 - 10
Bleach the Movie(1) - Memories of Nobody


This is a broad topic and very, very ranging. I started watching Bleach long before I took to blogging anything of interest. As summaries go, though, this will be right along the definition.

Bleach. Not just a cleaning agent these days.

Like One Piece, I had seen episodes sparsely before I had any real interest in taking the show onto my work load. Also like One Piece, I didn't like the art right away so I only left my attention to shows that won me over. Dragon Ball Z and other Funimation dubs had captured me long in advance and subsequently gained my revenue for a long, long time. Maybe this was my mistake.

Bleach right out of the gate was messy and confusing but interesting. Once I got over how mainstream it felt to sit down and watch it, I saw it for the raw experience it was. It was clever and imaginative, taking things we already have beliefs built about, like life and death, and changing them to be less supernatural and more superheroic. It still gets confusing from time to time but it makes sense the more and more I watch it.

The first arc bewildered me because of the amount of new information. Ichigo is an abrasive hardheaded hero type and Rukia, calm and collected, strategic type. Kind of straight forward. The characters they added all had relative depth, only discussing an amount of their story that gave them life to the viewer and made them seem less like a stranger. That's not to say that Bleach didn't have a lot of superfluous back story here and there(flashbacks are cliche, lol) but no anime is perfect. What I really enjoyed was the internal conflict between the protagonists. It wasn't black and white like Goku and Vegeta. It was gritty and vague. You sometimes wondered why they were friends or enemies or rivals, etc. That's depth I can really get behind.

The story made surprising cuts and curves and let me tell you about the filler. There is a lot of it. Main story doesn't feel as filled up but some of it is there. Also, the filler seasons are totally skippable. That being said, they're a good watch nonetheless: almost like a drawn out movie(Bleach the Movie?!?). Anyways, when you got back to the heart of the anime, it almost seemed like a straight line had been maintained. Like you hadn't gone anywhere and the story was right there waiting for you. Cap note: the main story is pretty awesome.

On a power note to add to the story note which adds to the character note… none of the protagonists ever seem like they should win. You may have bad struggle with your earlier animes but Bleach takes that concept to a new level. It was hard to watch sometimes, just knowing the characters are having the snot beat out of them and bones broken. Then, as out of miracles, dawn breaks and the heroes survive on to get stronger. I guess if the heroes always had flawless victories with little difficulty, who the heck would watch?

What I've mentioned before is very light. I have seen 10 seasons of Bleach: The first 10 and in order. You could skip the Bount and New Captain arcs and not miss much. They have characters introduced in those arcs that make reprising roles but I doubt it would cause too much confusion. Big thing is, is that this series has been quite enjoyable so far. I took long periods of time off between seasons and still got along pretty well. The story is reasonably easy to understand and the characters and powers are relatable and amazing respectively.

If you aren't watching Bleach because of the reason I wasn't, "everyone watches Bleach and says they love anime when they have no idea what they're talking about and blah blah blah hipsterness", stop yourself right now. Just watch it or miss out. This series would have really brought down my credibility as an otaku to not have seen it.

Bleach the Movie - Memories of Nobody

A little blurb about this movie. I read about how a lot of people are let down by Bleach movies having little relation to the story arc(DBZ anyone?). I have to say that for the experience, I couldn't care when it took place, it was a fantastic watch. A few little discrepancies but, again, no anime is perfect. Watch it because its a memorable experience in the Bleach universe. It has my vote.

Lucky ☆ Star

I am moved.

There exists an anime that actually seems realistic but with the familiar anime vibe you're accustomed to. Slice of life, shojo, and comical, it kind of emulates other anime through it to make you forget how realistic it can be. Sometimes spastic, the story is able to convey growth and depth as well as a connection and a sense of familiarity to its viewers.

Lucky Star is all that and a bag of chips. It's not without its flaws, however. It obviously has a source audience, the crowd the inspiration for the show is drawn from, and that obviously isn't American teenage life. Unfortunately(and yet fortunately) the show draws from Japanese teenage life, particularly high school age and high school life. This may be the only(read: one of many but it kinda depends on you) difference you find with the show and your life but it is probably the most dramatic. Japanese customs are very different from our own and when the way we were brought up is compared, we tend to be critical or judgmental.

In this respect, I can safely say this anime is for most audiences with a grain of salt taken to each. If you are a comedy fan, there are plenty of comedic sequences. If you are a moe fan, then this is packed full of moe awesomeness. If you are a shojo fan, then you won't be surprised by any of the events in the show but more so the presentation and delivery which, by the way, they are awesome at.

However, if you aren't an otaku by trade, or comedy isn't your thing(don't act like these people don't exist), or moe/shojo seems overdone or overused to you, don't burden yourself with laboring through this anime because it doesn't attempt to overcoat any of this with something else. It is what it is. Moe, shojo, slice of life, and comedy. That being said, if you are able to watch things because you are open minded of an anime lover in general, then little things like these wont bother you and you can enjoy this anime for what it's worth.

This is, in my opinion, another "if you already like anime like this then you'll like this one too" kind of anime. I know, I know some plot points, story lines, and character designs/archetypes are overused but I implore you to discover something original anywhere in your life. Someone or something has come before and someone or something will come after. It is inevitable and pointless to argue or discuss. In fact, you waste your time thinking of counter arguments instead of just enjoying these things for their own sake.

Back-story is a little lacking and that is evident, but you know the types; They are friends, they are in high school, they are preparing for the rest of their lives - Comedy ensues. A very Robot Chicken aspect is the scene hopping, but they do it without TV static and with more continuity. You almost feel like you're skipping through their lives but in a sense that almost without your knowledge(because events and actions are so similar to real life[or real life if you were Japanese]) that these characters become more human and more lovable. Even some of the comedy in the show directly emulates situations you can find yourself in.

I don't do this type of thing to convince anyone to watch anything, but I also don't do it to berate the anime or their direction artistically or canonically. I think this is another anime that was well conceived(or converted, although I don't know if there was a manga or if it follows it), well produced, dubbed well, and presented to the audience well. If we could only judge an anime on its value as an entertainment tool we could rate this one highly without question. Even so, I'll leave the final call to you guys. I only hope this blog entry let you know what you might find yourself in before jumping into it.

The Familiar of Zero - Zero no Tsukaima

Quite surprising, this anime needs just a little less expectation and a little more blank-stared enjoyment. If you need an anime with rich character development and thoughtful organized plot lines you should look elsewhere. I came unto this anime with no reservations and skeptical optimism. I wasn't let down in the slightest. I just wanted an anime I could enjoy without trying to enjoy it or understand it. Delivered. Here's the thing though, otaku know the difference between anime experiences they enjoy, so much so that a casual anime watched may pass off some animes as a droning misappropriation of your time. But we know.

Lighthearted. I felt almost as if I was being relaxed by the playful nature of the story and the easiness of its presentation. Easy to understand characters and easy to understand plot almost seems like you won't be challenged enough to continue to watch but there are little things here and there that keep you adequately engaged. I know for me that there was at least a time or two when I actually "lol"d. Maybe even "rofl"d.
A new constant. Magic and travel, not just through space or time but dimensions. These seem to be relatively overused plot objects but in this anime, they are almost portrayed as reverse cliches. Almost like they didn't describe things because you've heard it all before and instead let you assume you knew some things about magic academies and ancient villages and towns.
"There's a hole in my plot!" Like anything else, there are flaws. There is direct over usage of plot devices also. Fan-service is one. I mean, it's an equation that works honestly. It may have been driven a bit far at times but it usually ends up in scenarios that are intentionally comical and the enjoyment of the audience really should be the scriptwriter's/artist's first priority anyways. Tsundere. Almost played perfectly here. In my mind's eye, Louise will always be the prototypical tsundere into the hereafter. If you've seen it, than you know why. She's the archetype now and if you tsundere is a plot design you fall for for anime, stop what you're doing and head on over to watch this.
All-in-all. I was politely amused the whole time I watched. I got all four seasons and I liked them all pretty much equally. They weren't very long seasons or episodes, but completely enjoyable.

Whether you do or you don't watch, I would recommend it solely for an entertainment purpose. I mean, you only live once right? lol

Anime Cliches

"I'll protect you!" C'mon! I've heard that one a billion times. I don't mean from any real life experience because that would just be awkward. I'm talking anime. Why is this phrase so overused? If the character is so weak, why aren't they simply uninvolved? Why do the weaker characters always try to become stronger to always be eclipsed by the main protagonist? There is really no hope. As much as I live anime, and I do, so many shows have similar premise. That on its own isn't bad, but with the same drama and conflict present, monotony sets in. That old droning that easily bores you over time. It may even set your thinking that certain animes are copying one another. While its true that precursor animes exist, I'm in no particular outset to track down the first tsundere anime or the first "saving the world and getting stronger against all odds" premise. I'm willing to accept all anime with certain exclusions. I point out the parts to myself that scream repetition. It's like another Inuyasha flashback or a "insert character name" power up that requires ten minutes and their adversary that stands there and allows it. This post is more or less my rants on anime I'm watching currently that bring up some cliche so prevalent, it requires notation. I just have to write my frustration down before it causes me to drop a show.

1. Why are there even weak(er) protagonists?
2. Why have them attempt to advance themselves if your focus isn't on settin them equal to the main protagonist, but simply to appease some fan base to keep your anime trending.
3. Gratuitous fan service. You know the type, lol. Doesn't make or break an anime as a whole, but it can make it lose, how you say, brownie points.
4. The spiral. No, as a focus, it was alright. But in general, the never ending aspiration to achieve greater power can be a droning subject. Human-wise, peaks in your potential are often seen. This fact, however, does not translate.

Hotarubi no Mori e

Just something I picked up on MyAnimeList. This was something I barely read the description of but I like surprises. I understood there were elements of romance in it but what I saw was very human like. Not like a normal anime romance where for some reason the characters are glomping each other like rabbits. This was a tasteful anime movie and very short. Only 45 minutes. Short as it was, it was long enough in feel. Who needs a season of anime when you can convey your meaning succinctly. It was a rich and moving experience and if you have a little time to burn or want something new I would suggest this. It's surprising and leaves you with a thought or two.

Fractale

Back to anime. Took long enough. What to say? Fractale.

Fractale was a short one. Even though, I have so many words and emotions to share of it.

Amazing. Heart warming. Bitter. Shocking. Funny. Enlightening. Tearful. Joyful. Amorous. Despair. Fight. Confusing. Technological and archaic.

This little show brought out of me what all good anime does. It shouldn't be ignored. There were some definite things that could have been improved, some rather apparent flaws, and a full up on the short comings. But with a little open mindedness you find yourself feeling the specter. It was at times confusing and always felt a bit rushed, but the story brought you along like it was a movie that shouldn't really have been broken into pieces. In fact, it's my bet that if this were a movie instead, it would be rated much higher. This anime, despite it's shortcomings, was really awe inspiring. Just the way it moved into your brain by introducing certain dialogues or scenarios, shocking you with realities interspersed in this fictional universe. It's almost like you're a baby and someone whips out a book full of colors. You feel like all of your senses are adequately aroused and that your brain functions on a higher level. This anime kinda builds you up. What you actually get out of it is kind of hit or miss. Most people rate it 6/10 on MAL even though you read their critiques and they really enjoyed it. You are just an intelligent anime connoisseur. Don't take it for what t isn't. Just watch it.

Deadman Wonderland

I'm confused and upset. I needed some time to gather my thoughts on the series, and I just haven't been able to get over a few key shortfalls. In summary.

Deadman Wonderland.

Double-you tee eff. Um. It's like Guro and Insanity had a child. I feel like the writers and illustrators had a collaborative goal to injure the viewer or at least make them wince and cringe from time to time. That being said, no, I don't feel like there was any market value loss on this series(besides the obvious). There is obviously a market and buyers for this time of anime/show. However, I don't feel like using tags like adventure and action over guro is acceptable in this case. Pinned as something else altogether, this isn't a typical "fight to survive" anime that you are used to. Kenichi - The Mightiest Disciple is a great example. Also by Funimation, the themes are comparable at times. I would say, that neither is my forte, but Kenichi at least had a feel towards the straying anime fan. You know the type, the Otaku that watches everything. I found myself in Best Buy in the Anime section, and just randomly picked this up as my "contribute back to those who contribute to me" annual spending of actual money on anime(I don't torrent everything for Pete's sake). I have a slight feeling of regret as it comes to this particular show though. I had heard of it before and my friend who had referred it thoroughly enjoyed it(with that note, I kind of question his personal morals now, lol). Anyways. I was upset a lot watching this show. And not the Clannad kind of way. The Clannad way of being upset was using so much of my bodily water reserves to flush my eyes every 4-5 seconds that I actually became dehydrated. No, DMWL made me angry. Angry at the ethics of the environment, angry at people's tempers and emotions, treatments. Sometimes angry for no reason, just because I expected something else horrible to happen. I will say, this anime didn't fail to involve me, which is a bottom liner. If that is there, you have a foundation for a successful anime. I just couldn't get over all the pain and hypocrisy. Needless to say, some people must have had more than the normal amount of blood to pull some of that stuff off. Anyways, point being. I wish I was in a rental situation. The series ended with no explanation. No justice. No happy feeling. It actually ended with just as many questions as it started out with with very little progression of the story issue. I feel like the project must have been scrapped somewhere in production. The OVA didn't even tie into the story in the slightest besides having a single character from the series as it's protagonist. If I was rating it on the production of the entire show, it would land at about 4 out of 10. Missed too many good strong marks to become a coherent piece. Story wise, it was actually well timed throughout with an invigorating plot development which at no time felt over-paced. Which is amazing to be perfectly honest. 9/10 in that respect. However, the unfinished feeling leaves a bitter taste. The gore indicative of this show is not something I am a real fan of, and as such, I won't count it against the show. It's just, the emotion you feel pretty intensely in the course of the show is left to fester with no outcome. That is the main reason why this doesn't work for me. Almost a 6 out of 10, I'd give the whole show a 5.8/10. It had real potential, even with it's guro premise.

Directive Defined

Heavenly apparitions. One could say, anime enlightens. Another, that anime symbolizes life as interpreted by the author or viewer. If you're a fan, there is much more to this thought process than can be explained. I myself, find that anime can at times, represent factions of living in small digestible doses. Almost as if a pill that is sometimes tough to swallow, sometimes of the wrong dose or wrong prescription, but can always alter your perception if allowed. My purpose with this blog, is not definable reviews for publishing in magazines. No, I only offer insight. Unbiased and open-minded. This is advice with emotion. The emotion is anime.
