AZUMANGA DAIOH Review: OH MAH GAH!

 Azumanga Daioh is the funniest,random anime I have ever seen!!!!!!!!! The story revolves around six highschool girls. Chiyo ( the one with the orange hair ) is a child prodigy; a 10 year old in high school!! The one on the far right is Tomo, the hyper, bold, energetic one of the group. The one on the bottom, third to the left, is Osaka (my favorite!) the 'western' Japanese girl, and the RANDOM one!!! The one farthest on the left with the glasses in Yomi, the 'sarcastic' one, who always is on a diet, apparently.  The one on the top right is Kagura, the sports girl- the competitive one! The top left one is Sakaki the 'gentle giant'; she has a weakness for cute things, especially cats! And whenever she tries to pet a cat, it bites her :(
 ...poor sakaki :(

 The 'Father' of the show is Chiyo's dad (Chiyo chichi, or Bill Clinton/Santa Claus...I'll explain that later....)
The plot basically revolves around the random lives of these highschool girls, but my favorite episode is episode 8! The ''New Year Dream Special"!!!! First off, Osaka (the random one) dreams about chiyo flying with her pigtails!!! YES, YOU HEARD ME!!! FLYING WITH HER PIGTAILS!!!!!! so, once Chiyo lands on the ground, Osaka rips her pigtails off, thinking that she is helping her, but Chiyo faints, so, Osaka sticks Chiyo's pigtails onto her head and flies away!!!!! Sakaki ofcourse dreams about Chiyos dad and wakes up to Osaka holding a Hawk and Eggplant O3O'
and all the other characters have interesting dreams as well! :D (but I won't spoil 'em)
I prefer the English dub over Japanese, because in episode 25, Osaka refers to Chiyo's "dad" as Bill Clinton- but she doesn;t say that in the Japanese version- so, what I'm saying is: the English dub has more jokes to it-
as for the Santa joke, one day Chiyo says that her father is Santa, and Sakaki gets a mental image of Chiyo's 'dad' as Santa (as seen below)
My favorite quote from the show is 'OH MAH GAH' quoted from Osaka. That is how she reacts to Chiyo's dad flying at her saying I wish i were a bird
<-------(which is him flying to America because that is where is daughter will be studying abroad- don't ask)

I would easily give this show a 10/10 and recommend it to any anime fan that enjoys randomness!!!!

HOTD: Highschool Of The Dead

 High School of the Dead (HOTD) is a great zombie-butt-kicking anime to boot!!! With action, fanservice, and horror that makes one heck of a combination!!! The characters are awesome, but my favorite one is Saeko- the swords-woman. And when you try to kill a zombie, keep this in mind: AIM FOR THE HEAD!!!!!!! AND BOY, this show aims for the head!!! My second favorite character is the Otaku with the glasses- he shoots zombies with a NAIL GUN!!!!! HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!?!!!? The main character is Takashi, whom kills the zombies with a baseball bat!!! ( which is also awesome ).  There is a pervy nurse, a smart ,tsundere pink haired chick, and another light brown-haired tsundere, Rei.  Not to mention, they lso meet a little girl later on and a dog (zeke)
 And man, this show has fanservice,  AND THEY GO OVER THE TOP!!!!!!!!!! The animators sure made the fanservice scenes funny, though!!! Especially in episode 8, when Takashi used Rei's chest as a pillow inorder to fire her sniper rifle and when he shot the bullet, and there was a 'matrix-like' scene when Saeko's boobs were flopping to dodge the bullet!! LOLOLOLLOLOOLOL
 now Saeko is embarassed LOL

But honestly, I give the show a 10/10- for ultimate zombie-butt-kickin and fanservice galore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  as Saeko says: "She is a girl, too, you know"
well, i guess that wraps it up! LOVE AND PEACE

KODOCHA: The Ultimate Anime that Raps!!!

  Kodocha is personally my favorite shoujo anime.  It is about an 11 year old actress/student with an agent, or her "pimp", rather.  From chipmunks living in her mother's head to rapping about her day, Kodocha is the queen of comedy in Anime!!
 The plot of the show revolves around Sana's life and the people she affects/helps along the way.  The first couple episodes are about her showing the school bullies who's boss when they overtake her classroom. She is taken to school everyday by her manager/agent/pimp/boyfriend Rei, whom drives her to school 'safely at 3 miles per hour!!  
 She has a leading role part time in the show Kodomo no Omocha (Kodocha), "Child's Toy".  One of the school bullies at the school, Akito slowly becomes friends with Sana and she helps him put his life back together. You see, he didn't have a good relationship with his family, but when Sana came along with her positive, cheerful attitude, I think that inspired Akito.   Later on, the story delves deep into Sana's past; but what I like best about the show is Sana's raps!!!!! Especially her 'Math Rap'!!

 To the left is one of the MANY hats that Sana's mother wears!! From wearing chipmunks to the empire state building to bazookas!!
 All in all, Kodocha is one of the best anime I have ever seen! With romantic comedy, comedy in general, and great characters this is definitely a must see to any comedy fan!! I prefer english dub of this anime for once, because YOU GOTTA HEAR THE RAPS IN ENGLISH!!!!! THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!

Beelzebub episode 4 Review!! hot off the press yo! (not literally)

 Beelzebub episode 4 was nonetheless hilarious!! Oga ( the juvinile delinquent, who, through some strange circumstances, is raising a baby- A DEMON BABY- in fact, baby of the Great Demon Lord!!)
  As you can see in the beginning of the episode, Oga is dreaming of floating in an ocean.....but little does he know that that ocean he is floating in is Baby Beel's pee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oga wakes up to find his whole room flooded with Baby Beel's pee, so Oga opens a window and lets the pee flood the street- he worries though that the world will end from being flooded by Baby Beel!

Mean while, Oga looks for a solution to the peeing problem, and happens to see a commercial on TV aout Daipies, with apparently can hold soakage for up to ten hours. So, before he goes to the store to get the Daipies, Hilda ( Baby Beel's "mother", a demon maid, rather) suggests a device Baby Beel can wear called 'pee be gone'. 'Pee be gone' is a demon diaper thing that transports Baby Beel's pee to a different dimension.

  So, Oga and Baby Beel head to a drug store to get the Diapies!
And, next thing you know, there happens to be an armed robbery at the store that Oga is at while he and Baby Beel get the Diapies. Of course, Oga sees that these robbers are 'evil', and tries to give Baby Beel to them, but he later sees that they are not worth parenting him...
So, after Oga kicks the robbers' butts, he, Hilda, and Baby Beel fly off to the ocean so Baby Beel can pee in it-

 Well, it appears that np matter how hard Oga tries, he just can't get rid of Baby Beel!

This is personally one of the best anime I have seen with great comedy, and action! Not to mention, I always get a kick outta Baby Beel's voice-
I would say this anime has an awesome plot, intweresting characters, and is headed in the right direction! Stay tuned for the new episode next Satuday!!  "DA BOO" (as Baby Beel would say) :D

bullet hell and the relationship i maintain with them

alright jazu here for another anime related but not anime topic...
today we're going to talk about BULLET HELL. i will start by defining the term bullet hell. also known as shmups which is short for shoot em ups, a bullet hell is any game that is a 2d vertical scrolling shoot em up with high difficulty. most games towards the end will fill the screen with bullets or projectiles making general patters for you to follow to avoid obliteration. I F*CKING LOVE BULLET HELLS!1!!! i recently downloaded a game by the name of undefined fantastic object (ufo) which is one of the hardest bullet hells out there other than YGS2000, which is damn near impossible in later levels but anyway the game consists of a tiny anime girl at the bottom of the screen (you) and millions of enemies and bullets assailing your @$$. you will fight bosses and much more. this game is must download for any bullet hell or shmup fan. i saw some people play YGS2000 pattern 65 on youtube and my life will never be the same!!! you will need a torrent to download undefined fantastic object. its one of the most popular touhou games!!! LONG LIVE BULLET HELLS!

beezlebub episode 3 oh lawd

alright its jazu...
i was really f*cking confused about this because after episode 2 dropped the ova dropped and to me that means that the series is over but im just retarded so as promised heres episode 3!

i love this series. it delivers funny with action and everything else. this reminds me so much of airgear which was the best series ever!!1! the only thing i have to say that i dislike is the way they introduce the episodes. it always starts "once upon a time in a faraway land..." what the hell is this star wars? but any way its great!

ok!! lets get this show on the road!! so the episode starts with hilda explaining the importance of feeding beezle five times a day. and this led to oga making 2 breast jokes and having stilletos jammed in the side of his head. after that he gets half way down the street and beel is hungry. he gets feed and they go to school. then this happens.
so what do ya do? feed the little bastard again!!!! but he lost the milk..... so lets buy yogurt! so Oga buys yogurt but pisses off a bunch of third years working for kanzaki... ok lets get this straight. kanzaki is this third year bad ass who is not to be trifled with. he has a kick that equals the power of a magnum... damn thats tuff. but anyway oga figures that if what they say is true he should be able to ditch beezle with kanzaki!
but it ends up that kanzaki wasnt the one.... so what does oga do? throws his dumb @$$ out the window. and thats the last we heard from kanzaki. so it ends up that Oga wasnt able to succesfully dump beezle and the story continues!

PEACE!

LOGAAAAN!!!!!! Wolverine Episode 2 Review.

I guess I have waited long enough to review this episode. The only valid excuse I have is that I have spend the last week watching the crap out of Ouran High School Host Club (which I will soon finish and write a tribute for sometime next week).

The episode begins with Logan fighting the same guy from the end of the first episode (Shingen) and he eventually passes out due to a tranquilizer dart shot into his back. Eventually, Logan's body is conveniently placed on a railroad (I wonder how that happened?) and a myserious figure saves him from getting his ass run over by a train.
Logan and the unnamed savior are chased down by both the police and the Yakuza and a new character is introduced and there is a battle that will definetly happen between the two in the next episode.

This series is very good at having a good to okay plot during the episodes, but, so far the cliff hangers they end with trigger the eight year old inside of me who wants to see two dudes beat the crap out of each other, but they have to end up waiting one, painful week to be able to watch it.
I think that this show may be a little shallow for some, but I think that for the kind of audience that this anime is directed towards, it is not a bad thing. There is some story, but this is an action anime. At this point, knowing that there are only 12 episodes in the series, the story could either become slightly deeper or much, much shallower.

Overall, this anime is like Peeps, they are fun but there is no substance to it... well besides the sugar and food coloring.
I still think that this is a series that is worth watching. I will have the review of Episode 3 up as soon as I can.
