Orange



Alternative title: オレンジ
Type: Tv
Episodes: 13
Age Limit: PG-13
Tags: romance, shoujo, sci-fi, time travel, drama, school, slice-of-life

Trying to repare your mistakes and change future by sending letters to your younger self, well that's surely more interesting than your average shoujo romance.
Well Orange is pretty slow-paced and sometimes I've just felt like it could be a little more faster. It has also very nostalgic and summerish easygoing feeling which works well in contrast with Kakeru's depression. When something is sweet and cheerful, serious matters just hits you even harder. The whole time travel and playing with alternate dimensions/realities is done good but I was a bit disappointed by the final revelation about how was it even possible. That just felt kinda weak and lazy.
Art looks loveable and sweet, Animation was okeyish but during some episodes quality dropped pretty hard and background details just loked horrible. But still it was nice to look at it and it helped me to immerse into the story.
Music and soundtrack was good, maybe sometimes too much awkwardly cheerful for my own taste but still I didn't felt too much forced by it.
Characters are most important part of this story, it's more about their feelings and coping with problems and how they are facing the possibility of changing the future. I must say that characters acts very realistically, they could be bit annoying but in real life nobody is perfect too. Naho might have been too irritating with her unability to change some events or actually do something, but I guess it was because she was extremely shy and yeah it was hard not wanting to slap her sometimes. Kakeru was internally tormented and it manifested in his actions too, he was suddenly sad or mad and it was hard to predict his actions. It was natural for me to feel sad about him, to feel like he might shatter anytime. And Suwa, that adorable cookie Suwa. One of the most coolest, protective, nice, lovely and warmhearted character I ever met in anime. To see him prioritize the happiness of the girl he loved over his own was heartbreaking. Sadly the whole story is more about this trio (Naho, Suwa and Kakeru) and their complicated relationship/love triangle even there is more people in their group. I would just like to see and know more about the others.
Overall. Heartwarming and heartbreaking piece with loveble characters which do have mistakes so they feel real. Probably one of the best shoujo I've seen in a while.

Mob Psycho 100 Chapter 97 (part 13) & Chapter 98 (part 1)

Hi guys!
Double written reaction! I was kinda afraid to read because Dimple is in danger =( But I can't wait anymore...

Chapter 97 part 13

So Mob is standing up because Dimple said it, please someone do something!!! He is just going but noticed Dimple or what? No, he sees him as that little ghostie and waves to him! And Dimple waves back =( But Mob can't see the real him, because he is totaly out =( Noooooooo!!!
Take care, goddamn One stop breaking my heart!!! And then some very nasty noises, can I cry? Can I?
Mob still continuing but that noise, maybe it would finaly wake him up and he would release his ??? mode? Please!!!!
No he is still going, some horrendous battling is going on but we can't see it, and Mob goes and goes out of broccoli....
He is pretty far now, we see Helmet guy and poor Dimple who is wrecked even more =( He freaking lost his other arm and even leg =(
Helmet tied poor Dimple and is trying to eat him, but still Dimple can survive? He survived a lot! Mob tried to get rid of him and Dimple still survived and now he has friendship power, hasn't he? So it will look like he died but friends would save him, wouldn't they?
That fucker Helmet ate him!! Mob do freaking something goddamnit!!!!!
What something is happening to Helmet? He is shattering....
Mob finaly got out, what is going on?? I can't take thiiiis!!!!
A lot of people outside, would they be OK or are they under Helmet's control?
Let's go home everyone... Mob what about your friend Dimple?!!! =(
That picture with Mob and brocolli tree behind him, why do I feel so sad?
But damn, this is ONE he would definately pull something crazy out, Dimple is not dead, definately...
So they are home, Mob wants some resting, no wonder...
Hm, what the hell is in that TV? Broccoli is floating somewhere? Don't even think about seriously killing Dimple ONE!!
And everyones memories are messed up, what Dimple did? What Helmet did? What is Mob going to do? But he is still tired so he can't go to help him, can he? ARRRGGHHH!!! This is tormenting!!
So Mob can't remember too, wowie! Mass hypnosis, I'm sure Dimple would know about it let's ask him later when he shows up... You don't know anything!!!!! Dimple the Savior, can I refer to him like this? *crying*
Mob is resting, he knows that he can't remember but he feels it, he feels that something bad happened to him and he is sobbing!!! He is so tired that he can cry for real, no power-ups for him now =(
Dimple was a friend...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! I'm not accepting this!!! No freaking no!!!!!
He is coming back! Dot!!!
Rating: 10/10

Hah, they sure have great club memories XD XD What she is crying? Why?
Hah they surely didn't improve in telepathy nor find aliens, despair.... XD
Yeah blah blah blah, it was special to her... why is this here? About her? Where is Mob and Dimple? ONE you troller! You are enjoying this, messing with us so hard!!!

Hm, so she disbanded them, kinda sad, because they were fun...


Rating: 7/10 (kind of weak chapter after that with Mob and Dimple)

Kuzu no Honkai Episode 1

Hi guys!
I knew I'm kinda lacking with these reactions but I'm back!
So it's supposed to be some kind of dramatic seinen romance, maybe with some serious moments? I'm interested!



Ooooo, I love art style soo much!!
Ok this looks like something with pretty seriouso tone! Also that panel animation/diversion is awesome idea!! It feels like manga or something, I like it very much!!!
Ok, so both MC's love different person, teacher to be exact, but they are together because replacement? Ohoho, this sounds interesting!
OP is kinda OK, animarion and art!!!, I would prefer something more serious? But I still don't know how much drama in this is, so whatever...
Hm, so Hana knows him and likes him for really long time, that's kinda cute... The thing I'm questioning is: would this be somewhat controversal? I don't mind it if it would be taken seriously and not anime hentai logic like LOL XD
Once again, that dreamy art is perfect!!!!
Oh damn, feels already here because I can relate a bit =( I was always into older guys (note that when I was 11 I had huuge crush on Hugh Jackman.... I still kind of like him a lot XD), in high school my classmates where totaly into our Geography teacher and he was like 5 years older or something but I had a little crush on our other techer who was like 30-40 old. I'm just attracted to very mature guys, maybe because my parents got divorced and I lacked father figure.
It's kinda sad and cute that both of them miss something..
Soundtrack is very very nice, slow flowing, sad, dreamy, I like it!
Oh, the encounter with Minagawa teacher!!! She is kind of cute too... oh that boy who loves her!!! The love angles are pretty messed up here!!! XD What that teacher was pretty silly around him XD
Oh, she smelled the other struggler =( They understand each other... So they even started to hang out, cute...
But so far, pacing is pretty slow, well I don't mind it but I'll see if I start to like some characters because even if story is interesting I need to like characters to fully enjoy the show
Ohoho, intimacy! But it felt so sad =( They love but can't receive it in the way they would like so they are doing it differently...
More intimacy and more sad talking..
Oh shit mobile phone, thank for breaking this moment!
Neither of us would fall for each other, well, this isn't good...
Also I like that art sometimes change a bit, it's just for aesthetic matter, but it look awesomely good!!!
ED fits with story more and art is cute even despite the fact what it symbolise XD
Ok, this is very psychological and cinematic, more about what characters feel than anything and while watching I had kind of bad feeling that thing would go more sadder and sadder so I'm waiting for some emotional ride!!!
Rating: 6/10 (it's indeed interesting but so far none of characters caught my eyes, I need to feel like I'm part of their story and in this I wasn't)

Kotetsujou no Kabaneri



Alternative title: Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, 甲鉄城のカバネリ
Type: Tv
Episodes: 12
Age Limit: R-17+
Tags: action, horror, drama, fantasy, post-apocalyptical, steampunk

In this post-apocalyptical world people live behind walls and travel only with trains because beying outside is extremely dangerous. Unknown virus changed people into monsters which are hard to kill and eat human flesh. 
It sounds like typical zombie thing but it had a lot of nice original touches to it which I liked. The whole steampunkish world, trains, weapons and even Kabane were interesting and I was really hooked by it. Well the whole first half of the story worked pretty well but than it was like someone pressed a button and everything switched to shit. I don't need some very extremely detailed details but every story needs at least a little bit of depth to work properly. Also towards the end there was so much unnecessary drama that it felt very awkward and I facepalmed constaneously.
Animation and art is pretty neat, it was one of those spectacular visual experiences I welcome and any action/fightning scenes were really impressive, they also trully worked on choreography a lot and for me that's big plus.
Music and soundtrack, both OP and ED were nicely fitting, overally soundtrack had very (hollywood) movie feeling to me, simply said it was epic, mood setting and download worthy.
Characters, at the start they were interesting. Ikoma was getting through big change and it was enjoyable, Mumei was mysterious and a lot of side characters had their nice own personality but sadly it didn't go past it much after second half. Actually it got worser. Ikoma was no-name and actually decided to do something about Kabaneri which made him stronger and for small amount of time even badass. But then his determination was degraded, he started to do a lot of stupid decisions and became extremely weak. Mumei had a very developed personality with many twists and she felt like a good example of strong heroine but she became extremely naive and horrendously stupid when her brother appeared. I understood her torment, her grattitude toward Biba but even after she realised he was only using her instead of helping her friends she rather decided to get used again. And that's just not acceptable. Well about Biba, he was the most plain, worst and stupidest villain I encountered in a while and everything about him was highly annoying. I even didn't understand his reasons, he wanted revenge which was kind of understandable but killing as many people as possible to only prove that he is evil while there wasn't any kind of motivation was lazy. But the worst thing was probably common people in cities and towns, they always acted like they don't have any brain so they died of some pretty idiotic reasons. In the end I was surprised that humanity was able to survive for so long when they panicked even over some little things and didn't use any kind of strategy.
Overall. This could be a really great post-apocalyptical anime with nice steampunk touch and some original ideas but the horrible work with characters truly spoiled it.
PS: Ikoma and his punk hairstyle won though

Boku no Hero Academia




Alternative title: My Hero Academia, 僕のヒーローアカデミア
Type: Tv
Episodes: 13
Age Limit: PG-13
Tags: shounen, comedy, action, superheros, super powers, school

One of those few stories about superpowered characters which is heavily influenced by western superhero comics, also I must say that at the time I watched it I didn't read manga but now I'm doing so and my opinion on Boku no Hero Academia changed greatly.
Story is very simple, typical from-zero-to-hero and with this kind of basis it heavily depends on how it's done. I can't say BnHA worked it worst but maybe it should try more because despite it's original approach with superheroes it's still full of shonen cliche tropes like only main character can save the world and so on. Well storyline is not 100% predictable and some plot twists really got me but if you watched enough shounens you might know what's going to happen next. Also BnHA starts very slowly, I personally don't mind it because a lot of my favourites were slow or boring at the start and got way more better but if you don't have a patience this might be a bit painful for you too.
Animation and art is trully awesome looking, especially during fighting when all different characters use their powers but sadly it has it's own weird moments I didn't liked. So it's really great but definately not perfect.
Music and soudtrack was amazing because it always catches the mood and made me sink into the story more. Good to know that studio is well aware that story about superheroes without epic soundtrack would be a crime.
This anime was definately full of very interesting characters with unique abilities I enjoyed but unfortunately it's more focused on relationship between All Might and Deku then developing others. Some of them just felt bit plain or flat and villains only grazed a surface bit. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed it but Deku's overly crying attitude got annoying by time and All Might couldn't save it alone after that. There also was Kacchan with his very hard-to-understand personality, sometimes I wasn't sure if I like him or hate for what he was doing but as a rival character he was very original and I liked to watch the chemistry between him and Deku.
Overall. It was very good shounen anime and of course it has flaws but I enjoyed the fights and some slight character developments. 
PS: I trully love manga and I'm glad I started to read it because Deku stopped beying annoying, Kacchan just got a huge character development, other characters started to contribute and it has a lot of pretty serious parts


Rating: 8/10

Sensei no Bulge




Author: Horikoshi Kouhei
Alternative title: Barrage, Bulge of the Battle Star, Bulge of the War Planet, 戦星のバルジ
Type: Manga
Chapters: 16
Tags: action, shounen, fantasy, sci-fi

Living in Industria which is under constant attack of aliens isn't easy, not for a poor boy Astro who needs to feed a whole bunch of orphan kids because they are his only family. But one day change everything. He meet prince Bulge who looks exactly like him and offers him to became prince instead because he wants freedom.
This story might have a very non-original base (prince and poor boy are swapped) but the thing is that it was done somehow originaly. It was full of nice ideas, like that one about alien invasion in the world which is not so developed was pretty unique. I haven't read much manga with this theme (only Gintama) so this was definately a nice plus and I was trully interested where it will go. Sadly story is just too short for any much deepness or good conclusion but still I enjoyed it so potential was definately there.
Art was very nice, I mean I love art in Boku no Hero Academia and this is from the same author so no surprise. He really does nice smooth lines, characters expressions or designs for clothing and weapons, well he just hit my shounen taste I guess =)
Characters, well as in other shorts which I enjoyed they are pretty good. The main duo Astro and Tiamat had very good chemistry which was nice to watch and I would really love to be with them longer. Astro for a shounen character was very typical but his motivation was something new, sometimes it get bit frustrating that he was all about family here and there but in the end it was still good. Tiamat was great supporting/teaching character, actually I wish Horikoshi will use him somewhere again because he was strong but his awkwardness around women was really funny XD Tico is only main girl here and she too has a lot of interesting traits which was sadly not used fully because of shortness. So yeah characters were done good.
Overall. Very nice story which had a lot of good ideas and interesting characters but sadly wasn't able to pull everything out of it.

Rating: 8/10 
(if the ending wasn't rushed and this was longer I'm sure I would give it better rating)

Masamune-kun no Revenge Episode 1

Hi guys!
Another anime written reaction for now to harem romance thing. Well I don't mind harem but plot need to be a bit fresh to get me hooked so I'll see...


So far, at least, colours and animation looks neat XD
His sister is cute and seriously right, what a narcissist! He even doesn't look so sexy more like hilariously funny LOL XD
He doesn't want to be naive, hahahaha, depending on look is kinda naive XD XD
What the hell is wrong with that mother????? Why does she look like a child?! And I thought this would be more realistic anime, OK, looks like I was wrong...
Oh no, calories!!!!! Such evilness! WOW man I want your problems lel...
I like his uniform though
Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffft!!! Is there a comedy tag? Because Masamune is so funny, his attitute, I mean is he for real? I think I would be laughing hardly at every sentence he says because he is hilarious XD
And music really doesn't help... is this a harem parody?
Also if all girls would be swooning around him I guess it would get boring pretty fast... I mean all girls like him but he even doesn't look so pretty how he thinks! What's wrong with this anime???
Hm, Shiego part wasn't funny at all... I don't know it felt more weird...
Oh no! The big encounter!!!! (the music is kinda killing it, what the hell is with it?)
Oh, 5 min. in and now he have an OP? OK....it's very flashy... lol
Also animation trully looks amazing and smooth, like it very much
Oh no! The nightmare!! Geh, why is everything main character so hilarious? I can't take him seriously!!!!!
Class prep girl looks like a nice person...
Awww! Kojuuro is soo cwuute!!!! Can I hug him???
*facepalm* the biggest bitch is a biggest bitch but beauty also, so she can do everything... me-definately-not-amused
Pfffft! Problems of these kids are soo horrible... I can't take this anime seriously... it's just so stupid!
OK, I'm sure I wouldn't be able to watch this because main character is annoying, the main girl is annoying, everything is just so stupidly stupid and I can't think seriously about this school/harem/romance.... well I might change my opinion if I'll think about this as parody and not actual harem/romance...
*sigh*
Koojuro!! Sooo cwute!! He would be such an awesome main character!!!
My problem is I can't relate to characters, I know this is first episode but I need to like them, I need to be interested but here I'm kind of not...
Awkward scene when he got scared of spider was awkward and not funny
Ah, now I can relate! Don't worry Aki, you are not alone, I also ate a lot like you but still looked slim (too slim) so I thought there is something wrong with me... ah, I understand...
Oh, now it's getting interesting! Go, Pudding guy, go!
Seriously Masamune-kun you are so pathetic!!!
Oh no she hurt his pride, because he was fatty!! So dramatic!!
Seriously man, from your childhood you thought only about how to get revenge? No wonder you are laughable...
Bwahahahaha! She knew!!! XD XD
Oh I like ED more, nice song =)
Ok, I'm torn because it's hilarious (mainly MC) but annoying at the same time (MC) so I don't know if I end up liking it or not....
So for now 7/10

Akiba's Trip The Animation Episode 1

Hi guys!!!
Welcome to written reactions to anime seasons of winter 2017, well here to Akiba's Trip.
How written reaction could be live? Well I watch and during that write my feelings and reactions immediately... Bit weird but that way I wouldn't forget anything and it's great source for future reviews...


OK, it's ecchi but if it has good or funny story I wouldn't complain... I'm kind of curious...
OK, soundtrack of opening scene is perfect, I like it... so far nice tension, if this would be truly very actiony I might like it...
Seems like it would be funny, those undressing skills are insane XD
Aww, nice opening fighting scene ended... well OP here: music is kind of cool, I'm sure after some time I would be able to tell if I like it a lot or not, but so far it sounds nice and about scenes during OP well looks like there would a big amount of weird enemies, so I'm interersted, but apart of that nothing what I would love to watch everytime (like Mob Psycho 100 OP, Bakemonogatari OP etc. which are really awesome to look at). Overall I can say OP (Ikken Rakuchaku Goyoujin) is inclining to be one of those cuter and catchy songs which I don't mind and like but for my personal taste I prefer emotional songs more (or those with some special nice thrill).
Oh no! One of main heroes (the boy) got caught by some art seller! Someone help him! But she is pretty persuasive LOL Hahaha! And he asked her if she would fight with him? Damn, is this new way how to pick up girls?
Gyahahahaha!!! She got roasted so hard!! XD That guy is genius, I might try this too XD
LOL and it was his high school novel? Man I'm sure that piece would be hella funny to read XD XD
Ok, the girl (Niwaka) is kind of cute, the boy (Tamotsu) has some nice interests, like what in the hell are Anatomy Rangers, seriously, I'm so curious now XD
And then suddenly a girl is falling/flying from the sky... things like this happens I guess... oh she was fighting so it explains everything...
Hm, animation during close combat was bit sloppy, then she undressed that girl and she dissapeared in pile of smoke. I guess I'm not supposed to question why it doesn't matter that those creatures need  to be exposed to sunlight by undressing even their heads are not covered, hm? Well if it would be funny I might not mind it...
What's with this Akihabara thing? Well the girl doesn't care and rather re-group...
Ah Bugged Ones, some new creatures which makes a bad things so there is those who would fight them needed... how surprising....
Oh, interesting, so normal people became Bugged Ones and can infect others, sounds like more fun XD
His sister is so cute XD
Tamotsu is hilarious kind of otaku (but those Anatomy Rangers looks kind of funny XD) but it looks like there is a girl with same taste! OMG! This is hilarious! Moi!
Poor guy, there is no way he could defend a boob-jiggle attack XD But there is passionate speech counter!
Then girl with bat appears once again and attacks Arisa because she is the Buuged One? Oh no, she hit figures! That's a death sentence!!!!
Passionate cat-fight!
Shit, attack in café where his sister wanted to go!!! You should move your ass Tamotsu! His sister is not on phone! Tamotsu you idiot all customers are probably infected right now!
Ha! Avoiding attack in Nijima style (HSDK)!
Bat Girl saved him! What's next? Hm? The Bat Girl was supposed to be on side of villains? Why?
WTF? Moi Girl suddenly came out of vent in Chinese outfit? This is soo hilarious XD
Sleeping sister is savage LOL Poor loner Tamotsu...
Bat Girl is without bat now... that's problematic and what the hell is with that horde of enemies?? Well she is done.. nope, Tamotsu and his fire-extinguisher attack saves the day? Also it looks like Bat Girl is one of those Bugged Ones? But why she fight them??
When things don't work, they don't work... sad truth... oh shit Tamotsu jumped into...well...ehm... sharp piece of shattered bat which was enemy girl in cat outfit holding and trying to impale bat girl with?
Hahaha XD tell her that her brother... blargh!! Best dying line ever!!! XD XD
Hm, so she infected him?
And now behold! The biggest loser ever is now the best undresser in the whole world!!!
So it's air and not sunlight? Please explain!!!!
And the fight which starts it... finally has an ending... wow that girl in cat outfit was nude underneath? huh... but still bearable ecchi so far...
OMG! I too thought about mayonnaise! Because her name is so weird!! XD
Neverending nightmare? Are you serious Mayo? Stripping girls? Which boy wouldn't like that? Tell me!!!
ED, even cuter than OP, wow...
Well, first ep was funny and hilarious, ecchi was really bearable... so I'll see if it would be still enjoyable after more episodes or if it will go boring...

- some very sick scars: one at front which starts on right collarbone, continues across chest and stopps on left side of underbelly (some nasty attacks of deamon animals), the second ones are on back: three scars made by claws
- his father died during car crash, mother's cause of death is uncertain
