Under watched by the priest Garterbelt the sisters use their lingerie weapons and usually cause chaos in the city.  With Panty's lust for men and Stocking's glutton tendencies for sugar, the sister rarely make any progress.

My Thoughts:

The show is awesome and very hilarious. Sometimes I like to think of this show like a powerpuff girls gone wrong type show. In a good way. I love the music used in the show. One my favorite characters in the show hands down is Chuck. Also I love the animation style they picked for the show it fits so well.

Samurai Champloo Final Thoughts

General Summary:

This show follows the journey of Mugen, Jin, Fuu. Fuu saved Mugen and Jin from being executed for inadvertently killing a crooked officer's son, by fighting in a tea shop. To pay back Fuu, Jin and Mugen have to help her find "the samurai who smells of sunflowers". During their travels they meet some very interesting people, and find themselves in strange situations.

My Thoughts:

I love this anime. The story was created by the same guys who did Cowboy Bebop and they did a fantastic job of mixing the Edo period with modern hip hop. I became fans of a lot of great artist through this anime such as: Tsutchie, Nujabes, Fat Jon, FORCE OF NATURE, MINMI, and many others. The action scenes are top notch with a nice hip hop flow to them. At times I wish the show was a bit longer.

Oniai First Impressions

Oniichan dakedo Ai sae Areba Kankeinai yo ne!

Here on ani-talk I like to mix it up. I can get bored with one genre fairly quick so I try to watch almost any and everything. With that said I bring you Oniichan dakedo Ai sae Areba Kankeinai yo ne! or Oniai for short.The english translation is something along the line of  As Long as There's Love, It Doesn't Matter If He's My Brother Right!

General Plot:

Akito has been separated from his sister Akiko for six years and decides to let her move in his dorm with him. Akiko excited and is filled with joy over the fact that she will finally she her older brother whom she wants a relationship with. With no shame in that fact she can't wait to live alone with her brother, but sadly Akito's dorm is filled with his close friends from school....... All of his roommates are women....... All of them want the same thing Akiko wants. Sadly Akito isn't interested in a romantic relationship with anyone in the house, but all the lady's including his sister still fight over him.

My Thoughts so far:

This show is hilarious. Yes I think it would be creepy if someone was in love with their sibling but this is anime relax. All of the girls in the dorm are completely different so seeing how they compete for Akito's attention although he doesn't want it is very entertaining.

Later in the series his past comes back to hunt him. Jet is a former police officer that retired due to a mob hit that cost him his arm. Faye is a victim of a terrible accident during early space exploration. She was put into cryostasis and revived decades later. In part of the series she decided to investigate her past because of her memory lost. Edward is a young computer hacker from Earth. With a strange past and personality Ed completes the mismatched crew of the Bebop.

Final Thoughts:

I love this classical anime and this was the show that started my interest into anime. The show has everything from action to drama, comedy to romance, western to noir, and everything in between. The music is amazing, and I still revisit the show from time to time.

BTOOM! First Impressions

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=iDtW4D7uLTI#!



General Summary:

Ryota Sakamoto is a 22-year old gamer and is one of the elite players in a first person shooter game called BTOOM! Think of the game like Master Chief (from halo) look alikes that fight with a various array of grenades. One day Sakamoto wakes up on a tropical island with a case full of what looks like bombs from the game.

Further Look Into The Story (SPOILERS):

The game makers of BTOOM! are seeking to either improve or find a new entertainment gateway for their product. To do so they take people put them on the island and make them play for real. To get off the island you most collect a set amount of chips from other players by killing them. Each and every person on the island was sent there by someone who wanted them to disappear.

My Thoughts:

I am currently on episode 9 and things have been getting more interesting with each and every episode. I can't wait til next week. The show does have a Batoru rowaiaru (Battle Royale) feel to it which I love.

Eureka Seven Final Thoughts

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-zmMVZpeb8  (Fan made Trailer)




General Summary:

Renton Thurston is a fourteen year boy growing up in a very dull place called Bell Forest. Renton is the son of Adrock Thurston a researcher for the military who died in a testing accident, saving the world when Renton was very young. With little to do in his small town Renton takes up a sport called Lifting. One of his role models is a legendary lifter named Holland. Holland is the leader of the renegade group Gekkostate. One day a member of the Gekko by the name of Eureka crashes her mech into his room. The world as he knows it is forever turned upside down.

Why You Should Watch:

I would highly recommend this show to anyone who loves a romance story with a nice touch of action. Although the world is completely different from ours Dai Sato and the rest of the team made it extremely easy to develop a deep connection with most of the characters. With each episode you see each character slowly grow as if you where aboard the Gekko with them. The sound track is awesome with works from Supercar, Bivattchee, Flow, Denki Groove, and many others. If you haven't seen this series yet the first two episodes may bore you bit. At least that's the experience I had when I first saw it or introduced it to others but they are important. Also don't fret over Sub v.s Dub with this show the dialog pretty much stays the same. I have watched Euerka Seven about 10 times half Subbed and half Dubbed.

Final Thoughts:

I have not fully read the manga so I can't tell you witch is better but the anime does have a completely different approach to the story. The same with the movie and Eureka Seven Ao (will cover another day).
With that being said the anime alone is awesome. It does get a little confusing here and there but other than that I have no complaints! Besides the fact that the "sequel" Ao isn't really clear on what was kept from the original story and what got the boot (If you have seen Eureka Seven take a look at Ao episode 0 - New Order to understand what I mean). Watching Eureka with others no matter if they didn't like anime or didn't like the genre, everyone pretty much reacted the same to the show.
