Kannazuki no Miko Summary / Review *spoilers*

 Hey guys! It's Liz (crispy) here with a review up my sleeve, and today, I'm gonna be reviewing Kannazuki no Miko :D
Kannazuki no Miko is a shoujo ai/yuri anime- and a great one at that!!  I would easily recommend this anime to any yuri fan-
 The plot basically revolves around these two 16 year old girls that are destined to take on the role of becoming shrine maidens of the sun and the moon, due to the fact that the Orochi (the bad guys) are attacking the world.  But, before I can abny further, lemme explain the main characters, so that I can get more in depth with the plot :)
 Himeko is the sixteen year old protagonist that is destined to become the shrine maiden of the sun.  She is secretly friends with Chikane, and has confused feelings of devotion towards her.  She also has a crush on Souma, a boy.  She ends up having to choose one or the other in this love trianle of Himeko, Chikane, and Souma.  Personally, I love the couple Himeko and Chikane :3
 This is Chikane, whom is also a sixteen year old and is shrine maiden of the moon.  She is friends with Himeko, and is a top student admired by everyone at her school.  She has secret feelings for Himeko, and later on joins the Orochi (the bad guys) so that she can get Himeko to hate her,  because she doesn't want Himeko to love her, because she believes it would be bad for their friendship, I guess...  However, Chkane is deeply jealous of Souma (the guy that Himeko has a crush on).
 Souma has a big crush on Himeko, and will do anything for her.  However, he is forced to join the Orochi (the bad guys) and becomes evil unintentionally.  He is forced to do their bidding, but he doesn't let that get in the way of his feelings for Himeko. 
 Toward the end of the series, Himeko and Chikane fight as Chikane attacks and Himeko replies with self-defense.  As a result, Himeko fatally stabs Chikane in the stomach.  Wounded, Chikane declares her love for Himeko.  Himeko then realizes the burden that Chikane had to bear and tells Chikane that she loves her too.  She tells her that she loves her and will say it in front of anyone, and that she is not embarrassed.
 As Chikane is dying, she and Himeko are transported to a different dimension, and they save the world from the orochi!  Unfortunately though, Himeko and Chikane must depart for now.  But!  They soon meet again in the future!  After the ending credits of the last episode, it shows Himeko walking across a street, and she spots a dak haired girl wearing the same kind of necklace that she is (the shrine maiden necklace to be exact) and Himeko feels connected to this person.  Supposedly, his dark haired girl is none other than Chikane.  And the last line of the show basically says: and we fall in love all over again' :)

Personally, this is one of my favorite anime, because I love the whole theme of the anime of how bonds are everlasting through time, and can not be broken.  It really delves deep into the characters, the plot is nonetheless interesting, and, on top of that, the ending credits are AWESOME!  The ending credits song is called "Agony" by j-pop singer KOTOKO.  IT IS SOO CATCHY!!  I would recommend this to any yuri/shoujo ai fan- or even a romantic fan!  I would give this anime an OVER 9000/10
also, there is also a Kannazuki no Miko manga that is out released in 2 volumes in the U.S.
-i never read 'em, but it looks good! So, if you get the chance, feel free to check it out :)
this is Liz, over and out!

Strawberry Panic Review (hot off the press)

 Hey guys! It's Liz here with a review on Strawberry Panic!  Strawberry Panic is a romantic/comedy shoujo-ai anime (one of the best anime out there, in my opinion).
  The story of the anime revolves around Nagisa (as seen in the image above) transferring to an all-girl Catholic school, called Astrea Academy.  On her first day there, she stunbles into a silver long-haired girl (little does she know that this woman is none other than the Etoile).  The Etoile is the most respected student of Astrea Hill Academy.  There are three schools on the campus throughout the strawberry dorms: Miator (the one that Nagisa is in), Lerim, and Spica.  Nagisa soon finds a hierarchy throughout the school, and, with her newfound feelings towards Shizuma, decides to face her past head on. Now, lemme introduce the characters :D
 This is Shizuma Hanazono, a bold, attractive woman with long silver hair.  She is none other than the Etoile of Astrea Academy.  She develops feelings for Nagisa instantly while overcoming the pain of loss of her first love, Kaori. (but I shall not spoil too much for ya)
 This is Tamao, my favorite Strawberry Panic character :D
She has a great personality- she is kind, loyal, honest, and is always there for Nagisa.  She has secret feelings for Nagisa and is going through the hard time of unrequited love :( 
Love triangle here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 This is Amane.  She is the "prince" of Spica girl's academy.  All of the girls simply adore her, and she is one of the most popular students at the academy. 
 This is Hikari- she falls head-over-heels for the "prince" of Spica, Amane.  She sings in the Saintly choir and is best friends with Yaya.
 This is Yaya.  She is best friends with Hikari, and also sings in the Saintly choir.  She has secret feelings for Hikari and is going through mixed emotions of unrequited love as well.  She always supports ikari no matter what, and is always faithfully by her side.
 The characters of this anime are simply wonderful, and it is very easy to relate to each individual character's problems if you've ever been in love.  This anime is about true love, being yourself, friendship, pain of loss, and unrequited love.  It is a beautiful series, I must say!  There are 26 episodes total, each about 21 minutes each.  I would give this anime an OVER 9000/10!!
and there you have it! oh yeah, and there's also a manga for strawberry panic as well! there are two volumes total and you can find it in your local bookstore/anime store.  The manga is great as well- a little different from the anime, but still good :D

Beelzebub Episode 9 Summary: Kunieda vs Oga! Again!

 Hey guys! It's Liz here with a summary up my sleeve (not literally) of Beelzebub episode 9 :)  Basically, Oga still won't give up and manages to atleast attempt to push Baby Beel onto the Queen, Kunieda Aoi rather.  Now, let's get started!
 This is how Kunieda sees Oga and Baby Beel XD Meanwhile, Kunieda is falling head-over-heels for Oga, and her friends remind her, that, as part of their rule, if you have a boyfriend, you're out of the group.  That is their number one code and law. 
Next thing you know, rumors are going around that Oga has a "wife", and Kunieda gets the wrong idea as usual XD
Soon after, Hilda and Kunieda engage in an epic battle! Of course, it is pretty much a draw, and Hilda tells Kunieda that it was an honor fighting her.  In the mean time, Kunieda's two friends approach Oga and then it goes to the next scene where these guys are telling everyone that Oga beat Kunieda's friends up!  Rumor has it that Oga is now on the roof. 
 Enraged, Kunieda goes to the top of the roof to battle Oga. 
No major damage occurs, but Kunieda's friends wake up in the nurse's office and rush to tell Kunieda the truth before it is too late!
You see, we soon find out that Oga wasn't the guy who beat the two girls up.  It was a couple other delinquents as a matter of fact!  While Kunieda's friends rush to tell her the truth, a group of guys known as the "mood-ruiners" (or somethin like that) get in their way, and won't let Kunieda's friends by.  As a result, they are unable to tell Kunieda the truth in time...but not to worry, for Kunieda finds out soon enough through a delinquent.  The truth is, Kunieda's friends just went to talk to Oga, and then Baby Beel crawled off of Oga's back and battled a cat!
 Yes, he battled a cat! and lost! (poor Baby Beel) soon after the cat bit Baby Beel, he started to cry.  In fear that Baby Beel would electricute bystanders nearby, Oga runs off with Baby Beel and then the delinquents show up and beat up Kunieda's friends...
 Kunieda comes to a realization, and now understands.  So now, Oga and Baby Beel beat up the delinquents who were behind this big mess, and put them in their place!
 Once again, Oga and Baby Beel save the day! :D
In the end of the episode, it shows Oga and Baby Beel walking down the street.  Kunieda and her friends
walk up to them, and Kunieda shows Oga that she is no longer wearing her group uniform- instead, she is wearing her school uniform.  This shows that Kunieda no longer abides to being part of the group, and that she didn't like the rule that love is forbidden.  So, she quit!
  And that's the ninth episode of Beelzebub for ya in a nutshell! Stay tuned for the new episode soon ^ ^
This is Liz, over and out!

kore wa zombie desu ka? episode 9 and sh*t

aight my otaku buddies its jazu!1!
between school and job hunting i havent had time for this so no images this time.
sorry.

but any way this episode is amazing lots o crazy sh*t happens and its not filler! so this d00d from the under world shows up and is all like "look at me b*tch!" then Yuu transforms her pen into a scythe and stabs him in the chest and hes all like "i aint even mad". then we come to realize that she had a past with him and what seems to be some sort of relationship.
then it flicks down to the rest of the group but theyre looking for Yuu. and then some evil little secrets get out and aikawa is all like "oh no you didnt!" and seraphim is like "look i dont even want to do it brah." (yay for my bad engrish) and then the guy who kidnapped Yuu is like "if you dont grant mah wishes i will accidently your friends....." then sh*T gets out of hand.
remeber when Yuu said.. well wrote that she cant sho emotion or magic follows? well she manifested saddness and that doll she always had just droppend out of no where but 1000 times larger than normal. right ontop of haruna. so the team is tryin to push it off but the sh*t weighs more than my mom. (aint happenin captain)
then dai sensei shows up and looks to the scary guy and is all like "yo dawg so i herd you liek fu*kin with mah students. well i dont like it!" so dai sensei pulls some DBZ sh*t and blasts the doll off of haruna onto yuki. then this giant motherf*cker comes out of yukis back and is all like "everybody's gettin raped!" so aikawa transforms and is all like "yo this is over!"
AND THIS IS WHERE IM ACTUALLY GOING TO BE SERIOUS.
after the whole defense tactics stop working the monster that poped out of harunas back announces a self destruct countdown. and this is the most touching part of the anime. he runs to her knowing damn well that if it goes off he will become dust along with yuki. he hugs and tells her that he doesnt want to lose her and something happens with her emotions and stops the countdown. this part i almost cried is how touching it was. and then they go back to the top of the tower to the mysterious man and Yuu. then with the snap of his fingers the man is gone. then they all walk hom and yuu asks to go to the store without the group and leaves. then when ayumu gets home he finds her note pad with a message written on it. the message is "good bye"
I WILL BE MORE SERIOUS NEXT TIME!
STAY TUNED FOR MORE JAZU OUT!

Hello everyone, this is Shawn.
I would like to thank everyone who read the blog, I had no clue that we would get 1,000 hits in only a few months. I would like to thank the crew Jazu, Dan and especially Liz, who has done an amazing job with her posts.
Most of my time is spent reading manga, watching anime, listening to music (might make a post soon about some bands that I have been listening to lately...) and trying to come up with somewhat meaningful things for a possible new novel that I am going to write eventually. I will make some new posts soon, so I hope that we can reach 2,000 hits soon. Peace...

Hey y'all, Dan here writing on my phone lawlz. Thank you all for reading our blog. Right now I'm getting pwned by spell check but I just water to thank you for helping us reach 1000 views and hopefully we can add another 1000. I owe it to you guys to post more in the future and now that my schedules freeing up I can do just that. Shawn said that he's looking for ideas, well me an him make each other read our stuff so maybe I'll post some of my stuff for you guys <3. Love all you guys so much and I hope you continue to read our blog. Since I don't look for more modern new release stuff it's hard to do an episode by episode review, but I hope to keep on giving vague enough descriptions of series that you'll go look them up and enjoy them as much as I do. Depending on what Jazzu says I might load up some of my short stories Or art for your viewing pleasure in the future. Later all, keep following us and never stop watching the anime :D

Beelzebub Episode 8 Summary: Kunieda vs Oga!

 Hey guys!! It's Liz here with a summary on episode 8 of  Beelzebub!! Just in case you never saw Beelzebub before, it is about a juvenile delinquent named Oga, who, through strange circumstances, is raising a baby! A DEMON BABY!! (son of the demon lord as a matter of fact)

 In the beginning of the episode, Kunieda Aoi, or the Queen of Ishiyama, rather, is searching for Oga.  She doesn't realize that this was the man in the park the other day-  and all she has in mind is to stop this Oga guy she hears of from causing more destruction!  So, Kunieda and her friends return to the juvinile delinquent school in search of him, causing fear on the other delinquents behalf.  All of the other delinquents are afraid of Kunieda, which means that she seriously packs a punch! She then catches up with Oga and challenges him to a battle!
  And of course, she then realizes that it was the guy from the park the other day!!! She is relieved that Oga doesn't recognize her, but she fears that Baby Beel might!!!
  Here is a picture of Baby Beel staring down Kunieda, because I think that he has a feeling that she was the one from the park XD
So, Oga and Kunieda got down to business, and started fighting!! Oga managed to dodge Kunieda's attack, and then asked her to be the mother of Baby Beel!!!!!!!!!!!!
 "HUH????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kunieda exclaims...
Of course, we all know that Kunieda always misinterprets things, and she got the wrong idea XD
After she calls Oga a BAKA and declines, she runs off. 
Next thing we know, she is staring out the window wondering if Oga is really that bad of a guy- (I dunno about you, but I think she is developing feelings for him)
and there you have it!

kore wa zombie desu ka? episode 8 x-ray glasses...

OK IT'S JAZU BABY!!!!
im rockin out on some more kore wa zombie desu ka..... and its still amazing but so far this episode has been nothing but filler. im kind of upset. not much of importance happens....
so our main character starts off the episode with  pair of x ray glasses. (every kids wet dream) but they apparantly belong to seraphim...... lolololol.
but any way ecchi aside not much happens till later. so this episode focuses on Yukki and her obbsession with our zombie.
and for reasons that make alot of sense..... at this point i was like all lolololololin in mah chair while filler was being played through my computer.
and then some other meaingless sh*t happens. and then we have the whole trip to victoriassecret thing. the groupdecides that they want knew clothes so they head to a lingerie store for teh ladies.and secksee time was there. and aikawa was all like lookin and he recieved a nice gift...
SHURIKENS IN THE EYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
then a bunch of other pointless sh*t happens and then the love rival is produced. haruna is really jeleous of Yukki because she kissed aikawa and haruna didnt. so she has a little confrontation with aikawa.
and it ends up with haruna beating the hell out of aikawa. but then while they are gone  some creepy @$$ guy shows up and engages yuu in converstion. but when they go back they all realize yuu is gone.
AND JAZU IS OUT!
