English title: Place to Place
Originally from a manga
General ★★★★☆
Good for people who want to pass time and relax
Story ★★★★☆
Daily scenes filled with jokes/netas and main character's cute appeals
It seems like the female main char is already dating the main male char since the start of anime
CG ★★★★☆
Chibi version characters, average amount costumes
Design ★★★★☆
I personally like the setting of main character pops up cat ear and tail occasionally
Music ★★☆☆☆
Not any noticeable BGM, Below average cute themed OP/ED
Story ★★★★★ The story involves reenact human history, yes the same stuff as on our textbook therefore we know how it happens and ends, but the ways they are done by the Anime is very imaginative and surprising For example, the fight scenes of main battle in the second season - reenactment of the Invincible Fleet Naval War: Musashi as mercenary of England VS Blessing fleet of Tres Espana P.S pretty funny for Toori (main char) running around naked most of the time (even in International Meeting with national leaders)
General ★★★★★ Again, excellent battle system Just like the first season, fast moving plot Although again, the story setting is very hard to understand unless you read the novel or do some research BUT, very very informative
Design ★★★★★ Fabulous weapon designs merge from historical items for instances: Excalibur from England, San Martin from Spain (Tres Espana) and beautiful yet cool character costumes
CG ★★★★★ Nicely done CG to enhance the battle system
Music ★★★★★ Absolutely awesome BGMs, as of now total 2 OST releases together containing 4 CDs total almost hundred sound tracks Most, yes I mean most of them are stunning! Plus I don't really like the OP but the 2 EDs are above average

Amzanig huh? Yaeh and you awlyas thguoht slpeling was ipmorantt
Unfortunately by the time I tried to purchase the ticket, the other 2 days were alrdy sold out
So I only went one day, altho I don't have time to go 3 days / 4 days with special offer (even tho many of my friends bought the 3 days' pass)
now, about the comic con, well, the first impression is... massive people !!
a lot of people think of Japanese manga/anime when they hear comic con, some places call it anime festival
in this place is a mix of Japanese and American stuff (I would say the Japanese stuff being the majority), and the pictures I took are all (mostly) Japs
anyhow, let the pictures do the talking
in the end I also took some pictures of new york city night views and the things I bought
tickets (plus two others we met later in the theater
About the film: Basically the plot is same as the TV version In the beginning of the movie, there was a special interview of the America version movie from the 6 main CVs. And they mentioned there will be some scenes to be shown that were not included in the anime series because of all kinds of restrictions, at first I was moved by this announcement cause i already know the story, but in the end it turned out to be very few, and none of them are stoical scenes.
Still, even for me who watched the anime series already and again on the BD release, the film was stunning and fabulous
Huge applauds between the cut scenes and the end. Even when the movie ended, and staff screen popped out, all the audiences still remained at seat until completely finished. I have been to many movies in cinema before, and this is my first time encounter something like this.
Gossip: the whole film was around 4 and half hours long, in Japanese voice and English subtitle BTW I didn't look at the subtitle for once from the start till the end 0-0
Gossip x2: we originally thought there would be free goods that come with the ticket (a printed sign board and poster), and others goods for sale, but they didn't have that in new york! later we learned that was los angeles exclusive (damn!)
We went there right after class ended, so we had plenty of time, went riding the Ferris transportation to kill time
(gari gari kun 0w0 found in a Japanese supermarket)
Now, I'd like to quote from a friend that went with me that night, she wrote
(As I rethink now, the thing that moves me the most, is not the plot (bcuz it was TV remake), but the shock of being in the cinema, audiences' applauds in the end, and the friend that went together, eat together, despair together, and share the plot together... even thought very despairing (I'm not quite agree with this), but it was a very precious memory OwO)
Oh, like my other reviews, here are the ratings
General ★★★★★ Pretty sure it would be fantastic for those who watched it the first time that night Story ★★★★★ Design ★★★★★ CG ★★★★★ Music ★★★★★ Couple new awesome songs, and new opening scene Plot
General ★★★★☆ The version I have played is portable ver, since PSP doesn't allow H games By the end of each flag, there are some scenes just feel so unnatural (I think this PC to PSP part is poorly done, i know they have to remove those scenes but should at least do some workaround to fill those details) So to those who want to play a 'complete' version I suggest you go ahead for PC ver (cough..
Story ★★★★☆ Subtly used the setting to plot the story Love those scenes where sana(さな) glues to the player (that's the 1st flag i have completed, working on other ATM)
Funny ★★★★★ Like above, the funny scenes nicely plotted by the main character's unfortunate curse setting
Design ★★★★★ Good amount of cloths and character expressions for interchange
CG ★★★★☆ Art style bit toward Loli-con, drawing is good but bit less CG images
Music ★★★☆☆ Average OP/EDs, and very few BGMs Though I like one the daily BGMs, very joyful
His motherboard and CPU broke, had to replace with new ones
plus an upgrade of fan and memory (his old memories were ddr2 that are not compatible with the new LGA 1155 mb anyway, same issue with the cpu, basically upgrade from 775 series)
General ★★★★☆
Super love soap anime (makes me itch sometimes..
Story ★★★★☆
every 4 episodes feature one main character
the last two feature a hidden char and his sister (if you don't know what I'm talking about maybe because I only watched the blue ray version I can imagine they are not included in the TV version
CG ★★★★★
Detailed, the light effect is very nicely done
Design ★★★★★
Excellent cloth, and character designs
for example, Rihoko who likes to eat and always wants to lose weight
if you compare her deign to the others, you see she is little fatter but still as cute as (or more than) others
Music ★★★★☆
Both OPs sung by azusa are very good
I personally favor the second one "君のままで" over the 1st one
The EDs are sung by the characters (one for each)
and since they are CVs not music artists, the songs ain't good (for both singing part and making part)
Can't recall any BGM in the Anime
Plot
General ★★★★★
Story ★★★★☆
The first half of the movie is basically review of what happened in the Anime series from the new character Hiyori(風音)'s view to show how she fell in love with Tomoki (智樹)
A lot of ERO funny scenes like usual
And the ending is very heart touching, when Hiyori turned into an angeloid(angel robot) after a tragedy right before she was about to hear back from Tomoki from her love confession earlier
In the end she sacrificed herself to protect Tomoki
The scene I like the most is in the last few minutes of the film, Tomoki went back to the place where he and Hiyori first met. A ray of right shined behind him along with leathers, at last came the sound of bell Hiyori always wears, leaving the audiences a huge imagination space
BTW, I also like the name of Hiyori (sound of wind) which matches the sound of bells she always has on her hair
CG ★★★★★
The fighting scene is very well done
as well as the rest, graphic very detailed
Design ★★★★★
The design of the clockwork angeloid is awesome
Characters also dress up very nicely
Music ★★★★☆
Ending songs so-so
General ★★★★☆
Typical Missy and agent (housekeeper+bodyguard), more suitable for female audiences
Story ★★★☆☆
Day to day scenes, very few fighting (even though the setting of Maison de Ayakashi and half ayakashi half human gives you a good battle sense)
You may also learn some basic info about Japanese ghosts
Btw, the main character said in the beginning that she always says something against her will, in other words, tsundere
Although it's popular among some people, I really hate this type of personality (don't hit me
CG ★★★★☆
Graphic is good and detailed
Design ★★★★☆
Has some sets of outfit, the drawing style is cute as well
Music ★★★★☆
I personally don't like the OP and EDs
but the BGM especially the one plays when she changes form is very good
Plot
the once every year Chinese moon cake eating day is about to come?
a festival since ancient China.
don't really like these kinda sweet tasting cakes, but might as well enjoy it cuz i only get to eat it once every year
(P.S. normally they have brown outer layer, and harden egg yolks inside, the one i'm eating is called 'ice moon cake' which became popular in the modern days{recent years?})
...
...
...
now featuring H master drama vol 1
well... i guess i was just bored.. (hey don't throw empty can at me!
...
...ouch! (that doesn't mean u can throw non-empty cans
to be continued (maybe?
in general, the movie is not bad, but not very good idea (i'm saying from a fan point of view
the ending, is like the other resident evil films, kind of foreshadow of there is a next one
forgot to bring my camera that day, did took a photo of the menu and the ramen with my phone
but for some reason i can't transfer it to my pc
so i went to the store's website and grab a photo of their ramen just u can see
these are the photos taken by my friend's iphone (unfortunately im too broke to afford that
this is IppudoNigori Sake (bit sweet, taste really nice :P
also went to bookstore that day
note that the dengeki daioh and G’S october ver gift a set of アスナ figures :wub:
got my new external harddrive, 3 TB usb 3.0 shipped home that day as well
the speed is really really nice!
this is delayed entry, been busy for the past few days, and will continue to be in the near future
Green tea frappe
saw a dragon ball soft drink for the 1st time in the super market
Calbee chips, pretty popular brand in HongKong (at least it was when i was there)
some manga, magazines and light novel
gift from the magazine, so cute > <
Btw went to play pool and KTV with friends couple days ago
found some good amount of Japanese songs in the KTV box, pretty happy with it, although still not a lot (been there before didn't find any probably are updated)
Originally from a Manga
Achiga-hen is a side story of Saki main story
General ★★★★★
Gossip: Saki is the Anime that led me to learn majong
An anime that makes you want to imitate is a successful anime (at least to me :P)
Story ★★★★☆
NOTE: Only the digital players like Nodoka, Touka, Yumi Etc are playing the realistic majong
By digital player I mean players who practiced majong tons of times to improve the chance of winning rate by switching melds depending on the situation
The others like Saki, Koromo, Toki Etc (who can keep getting 嶺上開花(flower blooms on ridge), 海底撈月(drag moon out of deep sea), and able to see one round ahead Etc)
These girls are just cheating ! (don't hit me
CG ★★★★★
One major selling point to this Anime is they made playing majong like fighting battles
And bunch special abilities that the characters have (yes in reality they're cheating lol)
Design ★★★★☆
Most character wear short SHORT skirts to the point you can see their butts (more obvious in the manga (Saki main illustrated by Ritz Kobayashi))
Makes you wonder why pantsu doesn't show up
and by the way, you might notice the art style of manga for side story looks different than main story
Because it is illustrated by Aguri Igarashi, not Ritz Kobayashi (story by him(her?))
Music ★★★★★
Same BGM inherent from Main, absolutely good tracks
2 ED and 1 OP
especially "Futuristic Player" BGM starts when episode ends, very agitating, although the singing part in my opinion kind of ruined it a bit
See you again in season 2, as well as main story season 2
PLOT
Originally from a manga
バクマン。
the title literally means gambler
General ★★★★★
Even though I've already read the manga, the Anime still keeps me excited
That's how good it is
Just like the manga, every episode ends at exciting point
Story ★★★★★
Both main characters had their heroines in the start
The effort they put into the their work alone the way attracted many other female characters
and they never changed their heart
The psychological descriptions of characters are nice (the story writer really put a lot of effort into this)
As for the main Story
those who never watch/read this Anime might think there isn't much to tell in drawing manga story
That's not true, every difficulty they have overcome, another one soon pops up
I'm not gonna discuss about the difficulties they have overcame, You will know what I mean once you watch/read it
CG ★★★★☆
One small negative thing I have to say is, the Anime production is too focused on speed
Environment and Character expression are not detail enough(exp: light/dark effect)
The manga does much better performance on this part
Altho it's two different platform, hard to compare
Other than that, the anime quality is good
Design ★★★★★
You might be familiar with this drawing style
yes, the art is done by the same artist of Death note, Hikaru no go etc
and like all his works, story is done by someone else
As for bakuman, it is the same writer who wrote death note
Music ★★★★☆
No noticeable BGM, but I really like the OP and 1st ED
Especially the OP lyric uses strive, dream as theme, really nice
See you again on season 3
Plot
変ゼミ
Originally from a manga
also known as Abnormal Physiology Seminar
General ★★☆☆☆
The length of the TV anime is only half of regular anime
The OVA tend to get better in over-all quality, but in general, I won't recommend this to anyone
It almost made me quit watching it, but after a long time I finally finished it
Story ★★☆☆☆
Not a story type series, instead focus on short length pervert activities
You can still follow up even you don't watch the episodes in order
Hentai ★★★★★
Well, if you favorite this type of topic, there you go
Music ★☆☆☆☆
No BGM (or none I can recall)
OP/ED no good, I think the maker spent too much energy to show off CV moe points
Design ★★☆☆☆
Drawing style trend to a bit fatty (not that I'm racist, this style is definitely not my favor)
Plot
