Future Diary (Mirai Nikki)

Mirai Nikki is a great action/mystery manga.Mirai Nikki, otherwise known as Future Diary is a great mystery/action manga- i would give it a 10/10 easily, hands down :D

There are 59 chapters total, each chapter about 30 pages or so

The plot revolves around the protagonist, Yukiteru ( Yuki) , a fourteen year old boy who views himself as a bystander and records everything he sees in his cellphone, calling it his diary-
He doesn't have any friends and only speaks with his imaginary friends- Deus Ex Machina is one of them; Deus controls time and space manipulation-
but little does Yuki know that his imaginary friend, Deus is REAL and Deus invents a survival game.  Deus chooses 13 diary holders with cellphones, identities hidden and all- and gives them each the power to see the future within their cell phone diaries. It's pretty awesome, actually-
Also, whoever wins the survival game becomes 'God' of time and space

The diary holders involve a stalker girl who is obsessed with Yuki, a terrorist, a police officer, two lovers, and a few others from completely different backgrounds.
There is plenty of drama, action, and some comedy as well-

The plot is solid and sticks to the point, the characters quickly grow on you and on top of that, the art is awesome as well- this is one of those few excellent masterpieces in the history of anime

Hanako and the Terror of Allegory (Hanako to Guwa no Teller)

Hanako and the Terror of Allegory is a horror manga about allegories, or rather, 'myths' that come true when someone believes in them.  The story revolves around an allegory detective by the name of Aso Daisuke (I won't spoil too much, but he is actually an allegory himself).  Aso and his companion, Hanako of the Toilet ( an allegory herself), she is connected to every toilet in the world) face off against other allegories that harm people.  For example, there is the slit-mouthed woman allegory (a tale that involves a woman that wants to be 'beautiful' and slits her mouth into a huge grin and turns into a monster, asking people: "AM I BEAUTIFUL NOW?".  Another allegory is Demon in the Mirror ( a tale in which you place two mirrors facing eachother at midnight and a demon appears in the mirror, asking you what you want.  He is willing you grant you whatever you want at the cost of your soul).  There is also the Merry-san allegory ( a tale that occurs if someone throws a doll away, they will get a call on their cellphone from the doll , Merry, and she will ask: "What did you throw me away?! I am coming to get you!" Next thing you know, you get calls on your cellphone every five minutes and she gets closer and closer to you and the last call you get on the cellphone will be her saying that he is right behind you)Another allegory is the 'man under the bed', the 'gap girl', 'alligorification', the fish-faced human, teke teke, and many others.

This series is what I call a complete masterpiece...10/10!!!!!!!! hands down, I say!!
The characters are really interesting and the plot is awesome!!! I highly recommend it to any manga horror fan :D ...More

beezlebub episode 2 suicide is an option.

hey its jazu. and im back with review #2 of beezlebub. this is a great series in its animation comedy and watchability. this needs to be watched by all who visit this blog. it is necessary!!!! lets get started.

the episode starts with oga and furichi at school still trying to figure out what this baby likes.they start with a plush doll and a dissected frog. the baby chooses the dissected frog. what a shocker... that was sarcasm. then they move to a human body replica. there are two sides a muscel display and a flesh display. baby choses the raw muscle side... wow what a evil child.
with that established they both go back to oga's house after having beezlebub blow up yet another hallway. upon arriving at his humble abode he finds hilda explaining to oga's parents and you can see where things can be misunderstood. parents figure that their son f*cked up and had a kid and they accept it. (whats wrong with this picture)
yay for misunderstanding. now the 15 meters rule is introduced. if beezlebub gets ore than 15 meters away from oga, oga will die. beezlebub will throw such a fit that it will kill oga. then what?
now he has the dimensional transport guy following him wherever he goes to keep him notified of how far away beezlebub is even here.

this is not ok...... i digress. after leaving that awkward moment in the bath tub behind he goes to his room and furuichi is there thanks to the dimensional transport guy. i refuse to type his name. but any way they find out that the only reason beezlebub is so attached to oga is that oga is a violent fearless bastard. they figure that if they can find some one equally as ruthless they should be able to ditch beezlebub. guess what not working.
then backin hell demon king realizes he forgot to send his sons favorite toy with him. so he sends it via dead ex!!! lulz. so hilda recieves it via dead ex and brings it to school to find oga and beezl. upon entering the classroom she is instantly surrounded by delinquents. upon being approached by one she draws her blade and sends his sorry @$$ for a trip out the window. now its about lunch time and beezl is hungry and what do babies do when thier hungry? blow up hallways of course! so they go to get food and all hell breaks loose once again. so needing a little man time the two oga and beezl go the the river to learn a lesson. directly after beezl learns that crying oisnt always good these two @$$holes witha motor cycle grab him. oga trying to keep withing the 15 meters to avoid death is haulin @$$. then dimensional transport guy pops up and it all ends with this!!!
then i came across this and cried.

PEACE!!!!

Canadian Mullet Fighting Fun Time! Review of Wolverine Episode 1

As I promised, I am going to review the recently released Wolverine anime.

I wasn't sure how this anime was going to be, when I first saw the trailer for it, I immediately was like, "DERP HURR DERP! Wolverine gots a mullet and he doesn't have one! NERD RAGE!" But, this thought left me when I saw the opening to the show. It wasn't amazing, but it gets you excited to see Wolverine beat up some people for 22 minutes, so it accomplishes that.

I don't want to pull a jazu chan and tell you every single thing that happens, but I will tell you some things that will not ruin the whole show for those who haven't seen it yet.

Yes, it is set in Japan. Yes, Wolverine is still Canadian, but when he starts speaking Japanese it actually sounds natural. And, after the first couple minutes of the show, you get used to Wolverine's hair, I promise.

I think for what it is, it gets the job done. It's violent, looks pretty good, has a decent story line and it appeals to Wolverine fans and anime fans.

If you are interested in this anime at all, I think that it would be worth your time. Even if you don't care about Wolverine and you are a fan of violence and you need a new show to watch, you should check this anime out.

Peace,
Shawn

beezlebub epsisode 1 a time for awesome

alright... you can f*cking guess who it is cuz everyone else is lazy as sh*t. yes.... jazu...

so just as i had stated in a previous post here is youre review of beezlebub!!!!! and i like this anime already!! it reminds me so much of airgear for some reason! i effin love this!!!! the only thing i found strange was the copius amounts of baby wang.... *shudders* the animation of this and the story telling make for one bitching anime and im loving it!!! alright so we should disscus the anime!!!!
our hero in this series is a young man or should i say delinquent by the name of Oga!!! and yes he is a bad ass who dominates a school of nothing but delinquents!!!! one bonafide gangsta.... never again...... but any way the opening sequence is him fighting some bald dude and then the baby starts crying and eletricutes everything!!! then later on we find out the baby is from the depths of hell..... oh lawd....


and on top of that they finaly realize that when ever the baby cries there is a following explosion. yes a literal explosion.
so they finally make it to his homies house and then Hilda shows up... Hilda is the demon babies maid... she comes to reposes the baby for the demon lord. but it seems he is far to attached to Oga. Oga is now apperantly chosen the be the demonlords father yay for adoption!!!!!!
after refusing Hilda she goes ape sh*t and tries to kill Oga and his homie whos name i cannot remember for my life. she chases them down to a river after having Oga kick the sh*t out of her demon bird thing!!!! (this is one f*cked up story)
after beezlebub sees his father get hurt by this psycho of a maid he throws this terrifying fit that sho nuff would have killed everyone in the neighborhood if it wasnt for Oga calming him down. after the fit the integrity of the steel beams they were under was reduced. the beam breaks and Oga preforms the stereo typical hero move. but with a super sayen twist. after this he faints and wakes up at home to Hilda and Beezlebub...... oh lord it aint over!!!! PEACE!!!

a quick update

okay this is jazu and well be talking about starry sky right now. and guess what i am definatly not reviewing it.
it is far to dry and sappy. i mean im all for a dramatic love story but this is a bit to much. i think that the other two series i had chosen will be much better. right now i have several mangas/animes in progress. all of them are significantly older. i am 15 chapters from being done with SGT.FROG and im working on highschool of the dead and kimi ni todoke! so just to let you know there will be zero reviews of starry sky!!!

A FLCL tribute and a happy new year!

Happy new years every body!!!!!!
Alright. So a day before leaving for hillbilly town I finished Fooly Cooly for the 2nd time and decided that this requires a tribute since it was one if the best and most obscure animes ive ever seen. Just the way everything flows in the six episode series was just plain old sexy to me. I decided because it was so amazing I had to make a tribute to it. What I find amazing is that the main character was a kind of a quiet character. But here's the genius, with the main character being quiet there was a surplus of more funny and loud secondary characters. It makes you focus more on his surroundings and friends which is designed so well it's like an orgasm to the eyes. The character depth is just so great its...... Well....... Sexy! The characters are naota (main) haruko (important secondary) minami (also important secondary) canti (weird ass robot who is important) his family (a good portion of the comic relief) and his friends (static characters who do nothing but talk). This is a nice character set that makes for what was one of the most memorable animes for me. And the sound track was like some neo-jrock sh*t and was equally as sexy as the transitions and setting. OH YES I FORGOT THE SETTING. The setting is this little town that has this strange medical equipment plant shaped like an iron in the middle of it. But the town is so well designed that after you watch it you want to watch it  again to visit the town. It was all so sexy. If there was anything i didn't like about it, it was the lack of more episodes. But anyway I'm stuck up here in hillbilly land typing this on my iPod and had to post this from a McDonalds in some weird town. *shivers*. There some scary people up here man. Buy any way happy new years my otaku friends. I hope you can meet all your new years resolutions. And speaking of my newyears resolution. This year it's to successfully go to TORA-CON and partake in the otaku tradition of the caramel dansen! I still don't know how to caramell dansen....
